soon as conditions are favorable.
Vodoupanoff said he is convinced
a regular transpolar line between
Russia and the United States will
be established within a year or two
as the result of previous flights. but
this depends partly on the United
States and Canada providing land

an altitude of 10000 feet their aim
on their detectives was perfect and
officials here believe experts are

been shot down and also 10 OF
Chinas new Soviet built planes.
1t is reported here. and evidently
with sound basis, that China is
massing fleet of 300 Russian built
planes for renewal OF air raids
on the advancing Japanese armies.

bombers have raided the Japanese
airfield at Woosung, down the
Whangpoo River from Shanghai.
1t is also said that 20 new twin

THREE ISLANDS
ARE TROUBLING
UNITED STATES
Republics ofHaiti and Santo
Domingo Especially,
Cause Concern
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-America
has three major off-shore trouble
islands. OF the three, Cuba is near
est and biggest Haiti next, and
Puerto Rico farthest out in the At
lantic. Latest to cut up is Haiti
the middle island.
The two republics of Haiti and
Santo Domingo, which occupy the
middle island, are free and indie
pendent republics, but SO closely is
their welfare bound up with that
of the United States that they are
in essence, protectorates.
This country policed their har-
bors closely during the World War
in its watch for German submar-
ines. For many years an American
agent has had finger in collec-
ton of their customs to see that
enough of it went to pay debts and
interest on foreign bonds.
Now comes word that clashes
along the border between the two
republics have brought death to
1000 to 5000 Haitians who had
seeped over into Santo Domingo
for the more abundant life that ex-
lists there.

STOPPED WAR TO POSE

STOPPED WAX TO POSE
There is nothing much wrong with
the island except that the people,
mostly negroid, haven't been able
to make mitch of a go OF it. The
island is rich in NATURAL resources,
but foreign investors have been dis
couraged from putting new money
into circulation because OF the dis
position of the natives to shoot it
out politically instead of voting it
out.
One historians records that two
Dominican factions, banging away
at each other across a field. de-
clared an armistice while a New
York photographer lined them up
and snapped them in various atti-
tudes of belligerency. Afterwards
they resumed fighting.
The island is about 300 miles long
and half that wide, well timbered
but splotched with rich areas of ar
able land highly productive OF trop-
ical commodities Haiti is on the west
end Of the island, with half as
much territory and nearly two times

This sort of gesture costs money
plenty Of money-and the watch
dog of the Rhine" as Schmeling S
friends never call him, is not one
to squander money.
1t can't be that ice Jacobs, man
ager of Schmeling, is geSture-ob-
seSsed. either. Because brother Jo-
seph already has too many obSes-
sions to have any room left for
new ones. Joseph wouldn't mind
the money-because he is probably
the quickest man with a dollar IN
these parts-but when he spends
his money he wants more of a play
for it than you can get in the rural
surroundings of a training camp.
The Gardens attitude is even
more battling Its directors have
been trying to run boxing On a
closed purse scale for years, yet this
phantom fight finds them per-
fectly willing to spend money fol
nothing. Part of the training comp
expense is theirs. They are sending
a salaried publicity man to Specu-
lator in the middle of the week
They have ordered the tickets fol
the fight, and those thousands Of
gaily embossed pasteboards aren't
purchased for a song,
Call the Garden and ask about the
fight and you are seriously inform
ed it will be held as scheduled.
1t doesn't add up, gentlemen. NJ
matter if the Garden does hold {

INDIAN DRAWS
CLOSE BEAD ON
SHORTY HOGUE

To defeat Shorty Hogue has been
the goal of many amateur fight
ers, and yet none have accom-
plished that task. Thursday night
Henry Martinez, slugging Indian
lightweight who lost his CIF title
to Shorty April l, will climb thru
the ropes at the Ell Centre athle-
tic club resolved to hand the
Hogue twin his first defeat.
And Martinez is determined that
there shall be no doubt in the
minds of valley fans in regard to
the winner. In fact, the Indian
champion is planning to k.o. the
twin before the end of the third
round
Martinez resolution to revenge
his defeat is so strong that he
has been working out a plan of
attack to use against Shorty ever
since that night he dropped the
decision, and caused school Off
cials to allow Henry to violate a
rule of the institution by making
trip after the fight season at
the school is completed.
Shorty, and his determination
has been proved in a series of
tough fights in the valley and in
San Diego this season, is also
planning to shoot the works TO
win the bout.
Bigboy Hogue, who is equally as
good as his brother when it comes
to throwing punches, will be up
against another rough ard tough
Indian in the semi-Wi.,dup The
twin will tackle Fred Young and
few fighters hold victories over
the slugging Young.
Manuel Ortiz, who has been
beaten only once this season, will
be given a chance to erase that
blot on his record in the fifth
bout when he meets Bee Jimenez
of Ontario. Jimenez deciSiOred Or

AS BACK IN
LEAGUE LEAD

NEW YORK, May 18. UP)-Con-
ME Mack's hustling Philadelphia
Athletics regained the American
league Monday by defeating the
New York Yankees 30.
A two-run rally in the eighth
brought the AS from behind and
Lefty Gomez his third defeat Of
the year. A wild throw by Catcher
Bill Dickey allowed Bob Johnson
to scamper across the plate with
the tying run, then Bill CisSell's
tWo-bagger drove the winner in.
The game was marked by the
sterling pitching of Lynn Nelson.
After the first three YankS to face
Bud Thomas in the initial inning
had hit safely, Mack threw Nelson
into the breach, He scattered seven
hits and struck out seven to win,
The AS got 10 hits off Gomez who
famed four.
In the only other scheduled Am
erican league game, the Washington
Senators also came from behind
to score two runs in the eighth and
win 4-3, from the Boston Red SoX.
The Sox we're leading 80 when
Hill, first man up in the eighth,
beat out an infield hit. Lewis bunt-
ed and was safe. Hill going to
third. Then Kuhel singled Hill
home and advanced Lewis to third.
Stones infield out allowed Lewis
to score the winning tally. Deshong
went the route, scattering seven hits
TO best Wesley Ferrell who was
found for nine safeties.

That's insane stuff, you say. You
are right-it is. And | mean it TO
be because the subject of today'S
essay makes Just as little sense, adds
up just as poorly, and I thought I
needed a little practice in goofi-
ness before tacklin9 it. | refer to
the mad business of Max Schmeling
setting up a training camp in the
wilds of upper New York state and
seriously going about preparations
for a fight that won't come off.
AS l get the story-and | had
the family psychiatrist listen in on
another wire as a Understanding
is in Spectator. N Y, boxing six
or seven rounds day with Sparring
partners, galloping miles over the
roads, asSaulting oaks and elms
with an axe and in general leading
the life of muscular Thoreau to
ready himself for Jimmy Brad
dock on the night of June third.
Scnmeling knows as we'll as the
rest of us that there isn't a chance
of his fighting Braddock on June
third. He knows that Braddock at
that time will be in the midwest
preparing for Joe Louis, and that
Madison Square Garden bowl will
be as dark as midnight in a coal
pile Yet, he is in Spectator work
ing as industriously as ever he did
in his lfe.
AS soon as my strait jacket comes
back from the taiiors | plan to
make a trip to Spectator and see
if I can ferret out the reason for
this mad behavior on the part of
the usually stolid Teuton. 1t can't
be that Schmeling is going through
