CATCHER Of TYPE
THAT TRIBE NEEDS
Transfer From Browns
Seen Able to Get Most From
Likely Slab Staff.

In condition" declared Rogers Horns
by. discussing the recent player trade
between the Indians and st. Louis
Browns.
It was Hornsby who saved Hemsley
from the minors and by keeping the
fellow on the reservation made him
the best catcher in baseball through
the 1885 season. Hemsley, known as
"Bobo" when with the Chicago Cubs,
Is great receiver, fine thrower and
good batsman when not the victim
Of his own uncertain habits. That
the change of scenery and chance to
play on q possible championship team
may work q reformation of Hemsley

continued Hornsby. 1T has good
batting power and maybe Oscar Witt
can break the club of losing streaks
on the road. I think the Indians will
be a strong threat to the Yankees
particularly If Hemsley does his best
work.
What do l think of Bob Feller? ?
He's fellow Of unlimited possibilities
He has a tremendous fast ball and
good curve, but at present would
Just rate him as thrower You know
q great pitcher has three mechanical
assets-fast ball, curve and change OF
pace. But none of them is of much
value until he has control and can
get any delivery over the plate.
That's what Feller lacks-control
If he obtains control, he should win
20 games this season; maybe more
but any time fellow wins 20 he's a
great pitcher. Feller needs regular
work and Oscar Witt has the right
idea when he says he will pitch the
kid IN rotation. If Feller gets con-
troll, you can see the strength of the
Cleveland team.

 Disesa observed that "the later enactmentS of our legislature on this subject so closely resembles the 1913 act that we see no reason to depart from the rule laid down in the opinion of Justice Hinman, and &C., cordingly advise you that the pro visions of those statutes about which you make inquiry have application to such minors and women engaged in clerical or other similar work in the offices or such establishments or business places"
 The existing statutes prescribe that women, and minors over 18 years, may work not more than nine hours a day, nor more than 48 hours during one calendar week, and pro- hibits their employment between the hours of 10 D. m., and 6 a. m. They also authorize the labor commits sioner to establish minimum wages and enforce agreeabl5 working con- ditionS.

 At 12:30- p. m. defense head quarters extended she warning tc cover all of Kyushu Island, with it's 16,000 square miles of land anC it's 9,50OO00 people.
 Seen At g A. M.
 Information had been received from China that 12 Chinese planes headed eastward, had been sighted at 9 a. m. in the Hangchow area southwest of Shanghai Preparations were made at once to keep south western Japan on the alert.
 Then came the news that fleet of 10 planes was over the East China sea. Their position was not stated, nor was it said specifically that they were actually sighted from Formosa-merely, in a Domei News Agency dispatch from Taihoku, the Formosan capital, that they were sighted over the sea northwest of the island.
 Formosa lies far south of the di- rect Hangchow-Japane route.
 HI JdR1u
 Today's air alarm was the first real one ever sounded in Japan. People had been drilled, however, because of the possibility that China might challenge Japan on her owu soil, and when the alarm was sounded today authorities told the people of Kyushi to continue their usual activities for the present Schools remained open, pupils on the alert for a warning to take shelter.
 Rear Admiral Kiyoshi Noda, chief of the Navy Information bureau was discussing yesterdays raid on FormoSa when the air raid alarm was sounded in Kyushu Island. Noda said of the FormoSan attack that he believed Chinese planes were Suffl- ciently powerful to attack Japan proper. He added that air defense preparations were adequate.
 "The people of Formosa were calm during yesterdays attack and the incident was not serious" he said A revised casualty list admitted nine persons killed and 29 wounded.
 Many Starting Basis
 Nora said that there were many bases from which China could start overseas attacks.
 Noda said that there were many regarding rumorS that Russian planes from Hankow took part nj the FormoSan raid. He commented that in an air battle over HankoW February 18 the Japanese shot down 30 Chinese planes, including three types of Russian ones.
 Turning to the replacement of three high officers of the Japanese command in China, Noda declined to discuss reports that there might be similar shifts in the navy command
 Of a suggestion by Rep. Hamilton Fish (Repn., N. Y) for a five-five- four navy ratio for the United States, Great Britain and Japan, Noda said: That is more rational than a five-five- three ratio bus it still differs greatly from our ideas of equality"

 Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, R., Mich. said that before Ickes breaches to foreigners about protecting their governments against dictatorships and anti-democratic concentrations of power, I suggest that he and his associates read Matthew 7:3."
 ("And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"-Matthew 7:3).
 Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., ND, said that he would be violently op- posed" to the United States permit ting Britain to assume that this na- tion would aid her in any given course.
 Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, R., Wis, while declining comment on Ickes speech, said that the great need now was to let the European nations work out their own prob lems without the United States seeking to exert influence.
 The Ickes speech, however, ap- poared to have prompted Johnson to drop the silence he has main tsined on foreign affairs since his vigorous congressional drive caused Hull to inform the senate that the United States has no foreign alll- allces or understandings.
 Johnson dismissed Ickes speech with a wave of his white cigarette holder and the remark that the secretary cover too much territory. . But of European developments, he said:
 Tt is none of our business what England does in this peculiar crisis except so far as it may influence OUT own policy.
 "As I understand MT. Hill he has made clear what our foreign policy is. He says we will parallel action of other democracies. fear we will have little difficulty in doing this now that MT. Chamberlain has moved of at a tangent, and our own 'parallelism' has suffered something of a setback.
 50 I ask again: What is our ior- eign policy? I'm confused and I am sure my colleagues are somewhat in a maze regarding it.
 T don't blame MT. Chamberlain for acting as he has upon the infor- nation that doubtless he possesses. He thinks first of that tight little isle-of it's peace, progress and pros perity. When the tight little isle he deems to be in jeopardy, idealism becomes with him mere dream.
 'No one can blame him. I hope no one will blame those two, thinking in terms of America and with this classic example before us, think of the United States alone-our peace, progress and prosperity
 "One admirable thing in the Eng fish system is that the prime min- ister stai ds up before parliament. His adversary stands there, too, and they tell the parliament just what is impending and just what caused the split on foreign policy. In our own country everything of this sort is decided in secret and even as per severing an individual as myself has great difficulty in learning any thing.

(COntlnueQ rom rage U expressed confidence that many federation members would support Kennedy'S candidacy.
 Kennedy has not formally an- nounced his candidacy yet. Penn- sylvania Democratic leaders have been active here in New York and Pennsylvania attempting to agree on a compromise slate for presen- tation to the state committee meet ing in Harrisburg tomorrow.
 Greens ostensible reason for re- voking the Pennsylvania groups charter was that it had failed to oust CIO unions.
 "Furthermore, certain political developments which are of great interest to the American Fedora ton of Labor have occurred in the state of Pennsylvania" Green said. "These developments depely concern and vitally affect the non-partiSan political policy of the American Federation of Labor"
 Green commanded John A. Phil lips, state federation president to turn over the charter, books, records and property of the state organiza- tion to Lewis G. Hines, his personal representative, at once.
 Hines, it was indicated. will call a convention soon to reorganize the state group and attempt to bring in federation local unions which never have belonged to the federa- tion.
 "The Pennsylvania state federal ton must be the instrumentality," Green said, through which these loyal American Federation of Labor unions-and not dual organizations may express themselves upon eco- homie, political, social and indus trial questions"

 MT. Squires was struck by an au- tomobile owned by the Clark Broth CTS Chewing company, operated by V. F. Reynolds, as he cross the road, after alighting from a bus, late in the afternoon of the day of the &C., cident. He spent long periods of time in the hospital, and underwent considerable medical treatment.
 Speed Not Reasonable
 In the opening paragraph of his eight-page memorandum of decision, Judge McNiff finds that the opera tor of the car was driving faster than was reasonable at the inter- section of the Middlebury road and Yale avenue. Judge McNiff also says Reynolds failed to keep proper lookout. He testified that he was bothered by glaring lights of motor vehicles approaching him." accord ing to Judge McNiff, land this should have caused him to slow down."
 '"The plaintiff is found to have been in the exercise of due care and free from contributory negligence" according to Judge McNiff.
 S35,000 Judgment Unfair
 The plaintiffs counsel had claim ed that the judgment should be at least $S5,000, according to Judge Mo Niff. Damages of $50000 were sought in the complaint. Judge Mo- Niff states that judgment of $35,- 000 would be unfair to the defend- ants in view of the circumstances he vites in the decision.
 MT. Squires is 59 years old and has a life-eXpectancy of 16 years, according to Judge McNiff.
 A second leg injury, sustained Nov. ', 1887, while the plaintiff was walk ing, should be taken into considera- tion for damages, according to Judge McNiff. It is found that the man was advised to walk by his doctors The defendants presented no medical testimony, but accepted the descrip- ton of the plaintiffs injuries as given by Dr. Dye and Dr. Pyle.
 Plaintiff Lost $2,9O0
 "The courts knowledge gained by seeing and feeling the injured leg during the trial is also Of assist ance in determining the condition of the same" says Judge McNiff. h. cluding lost wages. doctor bills and hospital expenses, the plaintiff lost $2,900 according to Judge McNiff. In a brief fieled by the defendants, they concede that the plaintiff was injured severe1y and permanently.
 They failed to concede that he will never be able to earn living again. Judge McNiff says that by wearing an iron brace the man may be able to work if an employer will hire him. His injured leg will never again bear his weight without use of brace, said Judge McNiff.

 The alarm was sounded when the 12 planes were reported flying east ward from the Hangchow area of China.
 When word was received that 10 planes had been sighted over the China Sea the air alarm was Sound- ed throughout Formosa and Kiy- uShu.
 Danger Not Past
 Although the last reports from FormoSa said "all clear" it was not announced here that the danger had passed and it was understood that the entire air defense of the nation was constantly on the alert.
 Military authorities, however, were not announcing the developments and were not permitting the pub lication of all reports.
 The reports from Formosa were interpreted here to mean that the planes, after being sighted northeast of the island, had disappeared from the Formosa area. The later posi- ton of the planes was not reported.
 Sighted Over Sea
 The Chinese planes were sighted over the sea northeast or Formosa, scene of a daring Chinese airplane raid yesterday, at 11:4O a. m. An air alarm was sounded throughout Formosa. But it seemed evident that the planes were avoiding Formosa and belief spread that they were headed for Japan. to be the first enemies ever to attack Japan prop CT.
 Within few minutes of the sight ing, an air alarm was sounded for the northern part of Kyushu, which is the southwesternmost of the Jap- anese Island group. Nagaski and Yamaguchi were covered in this first
