PROF. WILLIAM JOHNSON, Of
George Washington University ana
an expert on foreign affairs, says the
Shanghai international settlement Is
doomed. Why should such settle
ment be maintained? The Boxer
campaign came about because for
eigners stuck their noses in Asiatic
business. If the large corporations
want to sell the Chinese let them act
on their own initiative. Why sacrifice
innocent lives and jeopardize the
Marines because certain American in
terests want to make loot of money
under the protection of the American
flag.

TERROR REIGNS in Shanghai as
Japanese and Chinese forces wage a
bloody, inoffical warfare which has
resulted in the death of several
Americans and other foreigners who
occupy the international Settlement.
Roosevelt has sent 1,200 more Ma
rines, the scene of conflict and has
asked Congress to appropriate half
ambition for expenses. Most of this
sum would be used to aid stranded
American citizens.
GEN. FRANCO and the Spanish
rebels claim a huge victory at San
lander. Caught in net, $1,000 Bas-
ques and Asturians are said to have
surrendered along with large military
stores. Maybe one of these days this
non-sensible civil struggle will end.
By now the ordinary Spanish citizen
hardly knows where he stands-all he
realizes is that he'd better keep his
head down or he will be counting
daisies.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE
Limited Press Stan Correspondent,

Read 1t from forehead to nape right ear to left ear, eyebrow to No vertebrae. And, at the finish, my noggin told me that Braddock would win a 15-round decision over the black boy from Alabam' and retain his heavyweight championship of the world.
 The bumps on my head must be filled with typographical errors, be- cause Braddock did no such thing. Aside from tremendous courage, he had nothing. He was slow, his tim- ing was poor, his once powerful right hand was but gesture, and his craftsmanship was on the novice side. As result he was knocked stiffer than 8 hagpole in the eighth round, and his Cinderella career brought to an abrupt and bloody end.
 Phrenology having double-crossed me SO completely, will be in fine quandry when Louis meet Max Schmeling and I am called upon to select winner.
 I probably will fall back on the divining rod. used to use one years ago, when was an assistant well-digger, and found 1t fairly re- liable. The divining rod Is very use- full in finding water, so if 1t fails to bring me 8 winner I can always find a lake in which to jump.
 Louis and Schmeling are certain to fight. A bout between this pair is as natural as 7-11, and couldn't miss turing enough customers to lift the gate well above the million mark. It's not going to be an easy one to promote, however. Louis won't ehard to sign, but the Ger man-ah, my friends, he's another Tunney for brains. Given the run around once, he'll want everything but Alaska and the Riparian rights on the Pacific ocean to become Q partner in the crime.
 Modest Max
 I happen to know that when he sailed for Germany recently 8 mem- Der of the Mike Jacobs promotional staff offered him 8 guarantee of $300,00O to agree to return and fight Louis, providing Louis won the title. But Maxie, the smart one, just laughed his best Teutonic laugh and said:
 Make it $s0O,OoO and I'll be in- terested."
 The agent told Maxie not be ab- surd: that he would have grand children around his knees before he'd get guarantee of $600,00O.
 But Max may very well get that guarantee before the snow flies, as we say in our set. He's in the driv- CTS seat, and can durn near get anything he demands. Louis can make some money fighting Tom, Dick and Milton, but the real fight, with the real dough, is one between the German and the champion. Copyright, 1887. by United Press)

BY JACK POBUK Noted Swimming Instructor

The call for help usually and quite naturally creates a panicky feeling within us. Our first impulse is to run to the rescue and plunge in aimlessly trying to offer assist ance.
 Although speedy action is requir- ed, we must take 6 little time to think over the situation and decide the best steps to take.
 Is 1t possible for the person in distress to be rescued without you having to plunge inP
 If so, throw him life-buoy
 Is there a boat handy?
 If so, use it.
 If you are forced to plunge in, remove your shoes and clothing.
 Upon approaching the victim pause to determine the extent of his danger. If he appears to be very panicky, 1t is best for you to swim around to the back, or to dive under and come up from behind. Work him into position for a cross-chest carry hold and take him to shore.
 If he puts up fight, relax. Do NOT attempt to struggle with him. Take a deep gulp of air and sub- merge. Invariably he'll let go. If not. you should pry yourself

Springfield, June 2.-UP)- Still smashing. its previous records to atoms and molecules, Agawam park will move towards the climax of it's 1937 meeting this week with some of the outstanding features of the meeting, headed by the Valley Arena Handicap on next Saturday.
 Followers of the sport of kings have wagered $2,433, POT during the 18 days of racing at the lovely little plant, for an average of $135,17 each and every day, which is almost $25,O00 day more than tumbled through the windows of the mutuel plant for the first IS days last year.
 The gate receipts have been twice as high as year ago, and last Sat- urday, the receipts for the first 18 days equaled the total gate receipts taken in during the 37-day meeting last year.
 Going Up
 As the meeting rushes to it's cli- max, interest is growing, and 1t is confidently expected that when this congress of thoroughbreds has passed on to other tracks, the daily average for the meeting will be in excess of $150,000.
 The racing of this week should be the best with the Attleboro, 8 mile and one-sixteenth test on Fri day: and both the Holyoke and the Valley Arena Handicap on Saturday, to give the day decided Holyoke tipge.
 The Holyoke will be a five fur- longs handicap for two year olds, of which there are more than a dozen which stand out, and the val- ley Arena Handicap, for which 8 beautiful cup has bene donated by Homer c. Rainault, president of the famous little club. will be a six fur- longs sprint for three year olds and upward which may see Steve Pan- arella's Bubblesome shooting for still another purse.
 In winning the Hotel Clinton Handicap, Saturday, over the mile route, Bubblesome scored a sensa- tional victory over Prince Fox and left his old and bitter rival, Master Lad, more than four lengths to the rear. It was a thrilling feature to one of the finest days of racing Agawam park has ever known.

On I paper, and with the records of the teams in mind, the two game series are the most important games of the season to date, for on the out come, the championship may be decided, especially if the Thomas Club, now on top by the narrowest of margins takes both encounters
 Green vs. Malins
 Mandy Green, the loose -jointed easy working pitcher from Thomas ton who handcuffed the Heart hit- ters the last time he pitched against them in regular competition, is a sure bet to be Manager Harry Mel wins selection to start on the mound for the Tommies, while Manager Ray Tram is expected to pit his un- defeated ace, Walter Malins against the Thomas Club thumpers it should be a great game, with breaks" all-important an well worth watching from 5:3O o'clock until the last out.
 Hearts Best Hitters
 League records show the Hearts to be the heavy hitters three of them, including the standout stick man, Paul Doran, holding the high est agerage while the team itself is also leading the lead in the batting department, with .357 against .283 for the Tommies. If the two teams split the series tonight and Sunday, there will be room for the Washing ton Hills, now in second place to move right into the picture. The Hearts, now third, are on the spot They must win at least one game or else give way to new set of champions. Averages to date:

BASEBALL FILM
 HERE SATURDAY
Free Tickets at Park Dee partment For Film at
 LOeW-POli Theater

Over three thousand free tickets for the great baseball film Heads Up Baseball" which will be shown at the Poli theater Saturday morn- ing at 10 o'clock have been dis tributed by the park department which is sponsoring the showing of the picture.
 It is the 1897 official educational sound film of the American League of Professional Baseball clubs. In the words of Judge K. M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, "The primary purpose of this picture is to demonstrate the mastery and technique of big league play. These big league stars explain the fun- damentals of the game for you in the simple language of the dia- mond. We are grateful to them for their service and cooperation in the making of this great film. I believe baseball is loved by an entire na- ton because it embodies that price, less spirit of equality that is the very backbone of America itself"
 We'll Done
 Ted Husing, the famous c. B. s. sports announcer. acts as narrator for the picture which is six reels in length. On the advisory staff which lent it's technical advice to the construction of the film were Bill Harridge, president of the American league; Connie Mack, Clark Griffith, Eddie Collins. and many other big league moguls.
 Baseball fans and players alike in Waterbury and vicinity should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing this great film. It will mark the only showing of the pie ture in this city. Tickets may be obtained by applying at the park department office in the city hall absolutely free of charge.

won't play" Bobby Jones once re- marked.
 While they were congratulating Harry Cooper for breaking the old Open record with 284 a year ago, Tony Manero came roaring down the stretch from nowhere to take the long end of the purse with 282.
 Figures Tell the Story
 Baltusrol was comparatively easy, and experts predicted that Manero's mark woud stand for years.
 Before the Open just unfoldcd at Birmingham, Mich, the veteran Tommy Armour said that he would be glad to take 292 and sit back and let the other blokes shoot.
 Yet over one of the longest and hardest tests in the history of the Open, playing distance between the tees and greens aggregating 7037 yards, Guldahl clips a stroke off the record, and Sam Snead, in his initial appearance in the big show, falls only one stroke shy of the former mark.
 Figures come closer to telling the story in golf than any other game, and Guldahls consistency since last summer clearly establishes himself as the current daddy of the .hot- makers.
 The 24-year- Snead's perform ance is just another illustration of to what extent the newer school has raised the standard of American golf.
 The new school makes the game look easy.
