CRISIS DEEPENING
.UNSETTLESFRANCE
New Uncertainty Replaces
Feeling Dispute Was
Near Solution.
BY the Associated Press,

PARIS, Sept. 20.-New uncertainty
over the outcome Of the Czechoslovak
crisis today replaced the feeling In
France that 1t was near solution
through the simple process Of giving
way to Adolf Hitler's demands.
Diplomatic sources said France had
made it plain to Czechoslovakia she
would have to fight alone If she re-
fused to accept the Franco British
proposal for giving Germany the Su-
deten areas. but uneasiness arose as
reports flowed in from Europe's capt.
tails.
A Geneva report that Soviet Russia
had promised aid should Czechoslo-
vakia decide to fight developed the
possibility Of major war regardless OF
the stand Of Britain and France.
A second unsettling development was
an all but ofhcial Polish declaration
that not Germany alone, but Poland as
well, must be satisfied at Czechoslo-
vakia's expense.
Warns Against Hoarding.
Coincident with a rising tide OF
shameful admissions" in the French
press that Premier Daladier's govern
ment had disgraced the country by
accepting Hitler's demands, Finance
Minister Paul Marchandeau warned
the nation against boarding and thus
embarrassing the public treasury.
This, with the unsettled strike of
175,000 building workers in the Paris
region, disclosed that the government
was under pressure in both its do
mestic and foreign policy.
The official Polish attitude on the
crisis was conveyed to Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet by the Polish Ambas-
sador, Julius Lukasiewicz Although
officials were silent on the conversa-
ton, it was known from official War
saw dispatches and declarations that
Poland was inclined to demand the
same disposition of Polish minorities
living in Czechoslovakia as Britain
and France would accord the Sudeten
Germans.

We're considered significant in this re-
spect.
Fleet Puts to Sea.
Frances Mediterranean feet. on a
war footing since September 8, put to
sea today for four days of maneuvers
which were described as routine"
The finance minister issued his
warning against boarding at banquet
OF provincial newspaper directors, at
which he said serious international
events have had repercussions on the
state of the treasury"
The treasury, he said, had been
obliged to borrow from the Bank of
France, "a means of financing whose
exceptional character demands that its
magnitude, as we'll as its duration, be
limited"
He declared the government was de-
termined not to restrict the monetary
freedom Of Frenchmen and that there
was no thought Of moratorium on
savings bank deposits.
Bonnet Secs Osusky.
Sources which kept closely informed
OF developments in the crisis said they
learned that Foreign Minister Bonnet
left no doubt yesterday in the mind
OF the Czechoslovak Minister to Paris
Stephan Osusky, that:
Britain would not fight for
Czechoslovakia under any circum-
stances.
France could not fight without
British support.

POLES STATE ATTITUDE

Declare Stand,

BY the associated Press.
WARSAW, Poland, Sept. 20.-The
official newspaper Gazeta Polsxa
prominently displayed today under
the headline THE Polish Government
Warns" a communique that Polish
ambassadors had been instructed to
present the Polish attitude on the
Czechoslovak problem to the govern
ments in Rome, PARIS, London and
Berlin.
Informed circles understood the
Polish viewpoint to be that Poland
believes European peace requires the
return to Poland of Czechoslovak
territory with a preponderant Polish
population.
Some persons interpreted the COM
munique as an effort to prepare the
people to realize that Poland may
take by force Czech territory inhabited
by Poles if the powers fail to grant
Polish demands.

NEW YORK. Feb. l. CUP)-The
grey-haired gentleman peeped from
under the steaming hot towel and
warned the belittlers they'd better
stop maligning his beloved Boston
Bees.
The smoke curled up IN little
rinClets and it was hard TO tell
whether it came from the barber S
hot towel or Bob Quinn's hot words.
The 67-year oid president OF the
Boston Nationals was giving his
answer to those who predicted dire
things this season for the Bees
that old mans club
"SOme people who are given
10 rash statements overlook the
fact that the Bees finished just
one game out of first division las
years" Quinn said. We could
have tied the Cardinals for fourth
place if we had played and won
flSe Two games which were washeu
off cur schedule. That would nave

II each Of that trio could improve

"Of course, everyone knows
about the success we had with
our 3O-year -oId rockies, Turner
and Fette. Well, we may have
another one of those surprises this
season. His name is Milton ShOff-
ner, and he's 81. He comes up

Talking about Turner and Fette

TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

elevation never gave Jersey James
a high hat Nor did it give Joe
Gould an altitudinous chapeau.
Braddock as champion was rec
ognized as an "old guy by every
one. But no one knew actually
how old he was except Joe Gould.
Little Joe figured Braddock had
one good title defense left in his
bones, defense for which he should
get the most money. Accordingly
Joe maneuvered Braddock out OF
fight with Max Schmeling, under
Madison Square Garden auspices in
New York-because of the anti
Nazi, nti-Schmeling boycott in New
York-and threw him in with Chal-
lenger Joe Louis, the big gate at
traction-in Chicago last June.
Bradlock lost his title and got
one of the worst beatingS in his
career in that bout. And Gould's
eyes were wet with tears as he
assisted the game Irishman down
from the ring. Gould said then,
you've got it now Jim-nearly a
hundred grand-you won't fight any
more"
Unfortunately Braddock had
floored mighty Joe Louis in the
first round of their Chicago brawl.
And as the weeks went by, Brad
dock said, IF l hadn't lost my head
I would have knocked him out. "
And after Louis fought and beat
Tommy Farr in a close decision
finht foldnnIr cold at n tanntn
with that Farr. I can beat him
and maybe Louis next time"
So-Braddock fought Farr on jan
uary 2lst; and beat him in 10
rounds after making a grand finish
in the last two rounds. He made
this finish because Gould told him
he couldn't win any other way
coast during the sixth, seventh and
eighth rounds-then go to town.
Gould saw things in that fight
that Braddock even didn't realize
He saw that ancient Jim was wash
ed up at 35--or whatever his age Is.
And Gould decided he shouldn't
fight any more-even though Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs was dangling a
return bout with Farr before his
eyeS-a bout that would net Brad
dock and Gould at least $4,000.
Gould went to Braddock's at
tractive dark-haired wife, Mae, and
said, Jim is through. We won't
let him fight any more. This time
it is positive. Jim wants to fight
again. But we won't let him-see.
Mae saw alright. Little Joe con-
vinced her that it would be better
for jim to sit back and live on the
interest of his earnings-and make
more money outside of the ring
than to continue fighting and vino
up walking on his heels and mum
bling incoherently to his kids.
Hes got enough money now sc
none OF you ever will need tc
/ worry" Joe concluded
Joe lost his slice of the return
Farr-B -Braddock bout, and he lost his
slice of the bout to follow, If jim
beat Farr again. But Joe has seer
too many punch drunk fighters In
the past. And he regards Jim as a
brother. They've been through sc
many ups and downs together
They're the greatest manager
fighter combination in the history
of the ring. Men who worked with
out a contract. Men who trusted
implicitly in each other And Joe
will not betray his trust at this late
date-even If Jim wants to keep or
fighting .
