eminent which have been doing
about as they chose. 1t would be
an astonishing development in an
other way, for hitherto the "Son of
Heaven" has always held himself
aloof from such concerns. The
Japanese cabinet was called in ex-
traordinary session to discuss the
Panay incident and determine what
reply should be made to, the Amer
lean protests.
In Washington Ambassador Hirosi
Saito added his voice to the many
apologies offered. In a radio adj
dress he termed the bombing of the
Panay and the Standard Oil ships
shocking blunder" and said that
necessary steps are being and will
be taken so that guarantees of safe
ty will be assured all foreign per-
sons and interests" in Japan-con-
trolled areas of China.
Washington's second note was es-
pecially sharply worded because
of the revelation that the Panay
and the boats carrying its dead and
wounded to shore were fired upon
by machine gunners in Japanese
army boats. The stories of the
survivors, including several news
paper men, and motion pictures of
the attack were all in the hands of
the American officials and seemed
irrefutable, although General Hara-
da, the Japanese military attache
at Shanghai, issued a report which
contradicted them in several vital
particulars. It purported to be "the
sum total of staff officers investiga-
ton" of the incident.

Golf Dream Comes True

Miami Open golf championship re-

a check for $4,000, he satisfied a
six-year ambition. Back i'm 1882, Re-

ished second.
He has won many a tournament
since, including the 1885 P. G. A.
championship, but none gave him
greater satisfaction than the 20-foot
putt he made on the seventy-second
green to give him first place and a
total score of 1872.
Incidentally, Ralph Guldahl, who
won the Biltmore Open last year
and went on to become National
Open champion, finished far down
the list at 292 and collected only
SIS. And Denny Shute, p. G. A.

his legs and body are smooth and
ripping and as tidy looking as ev-
er. This continued brilliance is a
testimonial to his training methods.
Like most foreign fighters of re-
cent years, he stresses roadwork
and other outdoor conditioning more
than gymnasium work. Moreover,
he smartly conserves his energy
during a fight. BY wasting few
punches, making every one count to
the utmost, he fights less in fif-
teen rounds than the average bat
tier does in six.

China Won't Give Up
IN HANKOW. now I

IN HANKOW, now the Chinese cap
ital, high officials declared China
would make no peace overtures to
Japan but would fight to the end.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek was
perfecting new plan for military
operations.
Chinese blew up and burned most
of the Japanese-owned mill area Of
Tsingtao, the damage being esti-
mated at 100 million dollars. All of
the 300 Americans in that city were
reported safe. Three American
warships were there ready to aid
them If necessary.

Drew Crowd of 10000

He drew more than 11O, 900 people
into Soldier Field, Chicago, to a sin
gle game. This was the largest
crowd that ever saw football
game anywhere in this country. 1t
was bigger than the one that
watched the Dempsey-Tunney fight
in 1927. 1t exceeded by wide mar
gin the crowds at the Army and
Navy game or the all-star games.
He is phantom-like runner, a
rifle passer, a star kicker, re-
sourceful tackler and sure-fire
pass receiver.
He is a star student. When he
graduates in February, at the age
of nineteen, he will have four
year average of 88 in all his studies.
In addition to his football prowess,
Bill is quite a baseball player. He
can round the bases in 1876 seconds
and has had batting average for
the past four years of 400.
Thousands of high school athletes
throughout the country would prob
ably like to change places with Bill.
But if they knew what he's going
to be up against, maybe they'd
change their minds. Bill has a tough
assignment. He will be a marked
man. Like Jim Thorpe, Walter Eek
ersall and Red Grange, he will
have to be a whirlwind to make
good.

teammate, was the only other 20
game winner. Monty Stratton of the
White Sox was second in point of
effectiveness, with 2.40 runs per
game.
One Of the high spots Of the sea-
son was White Sox pitcher Bill
Dietrich's n0-hit game. The cast
off Highlander whom Manager
Jimmy Dykes had faith in, reached
the pinnacle Of fame on June last
season when he set the Browns
down with nary hit or run. Next
best showing from local fans point
of view was Johnny Allen of Cleve-
land. Johnny, a "Temperamental
Tillie" when on the pitching mound,
turned in Is wins in q row and was
in the shadow Of the hall Of fame
when Southpaw Jake Wade opposed
him the last day Of the season and
beat him, 10.
However, Aliens won and lost
percentage set new record in that
respect, the final average being 1888,
besting Bob Groves record Of 1885
made while with the AS in 1880.
Bob Teller, the Cleveland hurler
who two years ago came out Of
Van Meter, Iowa, to make good in
a big league in a big way, con-
tinued his reputation as strikeout
king, piling up $50 whiffs in 149 in
nings. Gomez strikeout record was
accomplished in 278 innings of toll.
Teller famed 16 Boston batters on

War Vote Plan Blocked

OPPOSITION of President Roose-

was believed to have effectually
blocked the proposal of Representa-
tive Louis Ludlow for submission of
a constitutional amendment requir-
ing a popular referendum before
the declaration of war except in
case of invasion of the country.
Ludlow obtained the necessary 218
signatures to force the house to con-
slider the plan during the regular
session, but no one expects its ap-
proval in the near future.
