null over them and call Griffith back

found the Tigers unreceptive TO Griff's s

changed his mind about parting with
pitchers for Newsom.
The reported sums asked by Griffith
almost were fantastic. considering
that Newsom was bought for only
$4,000 two years ago and hasn't had

into the American League. 1t is ru-

Rapidly increasing anger
over the Japanese war in
China may bring an emer-

to consider the far eastern crisis,
it was understood today.
Moreover, it was certain that if
a special session were called one
of its principal concerns would be
a demand for a blanket boycott
on all Japanese goods, regardless
of consequences.
Labor party leaders were expect
ed to take the lead in demanding
a special session. In making any
such demand. however, it was in
dicated that they would have i'm
portant backing from liberals and
even from some conservative elem
ents.

airplane attacks on Britain's am

ing of a. fleet of fishing junks by a
Japanese submarine, the severe
damage to British interests in China
and general horror at the conduct
of the un'declared war combined to

opinion in a desire for some sort
