Sharp Rebuff

1t was noted that Japan sig
nificantly refrained from making
the request ver-forceful, for in
previous appeals of this nature
Nippon has met with sharp re-
bluffs from the United States.
Called upon to clear the Yangtze
of American cargo vessels, Rear
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, COM
mander of the American fleet in
Asia, recently bluntly refused.
There are 10 Americans still at
Kiukiang, according to latest ad-
vices, and So at Kuling, nearby.
Ready to aid them-but not to
bow to any Japanese demands
the United States gunboat Mo-
nocacy and the British gunboat
Cockchafe are standing by at
Kiukiang.
Actually, the gunboats are vir-
tually bottled up, for bitter fighting
is going on in the air, on the
river, and on land Immediately
downstream from Kiukiang, and
China yesterday warned the Amer
leans that the Yangtze 20 miles
above Kiukiang was being thickly
mined to halt the Japanese river

No chief executive ever went
down the line for a favorite poll

Roosevelt for his Senate leader
in his current political swing to
the West Coast.
Up and DOUn State
From Covington, on the Ohio
River. to the southwestern part
of the State, Mr.. Roosevelt cam
pagned Strenuously, for the most
part under a broiling sun, for the
man he hand-picked for the Sen
ate leadership, the man who was
elected to that post by one vote.
The President pitched himself
whole-heartedly into the boiling
Kentucky primary campaign. He
evidently considered that in this
Kentucky campaign, which will
be decided August 6, more than
a mere Senate seat is at stake.
BY his own earnestness, his own
efforts, he staked the prestige of
his administration on the out
come of the balloting in Kentucky
on August 6 next.
Much Of what the President
said was said in the presence of
Governor Chandler, who with a
characteristic boldneSs that
matched Mr.. RooSevelt's, boarded
the presidential train and trav.
eled with it through part of the
State.

he left the train to resume hi

WPA Heard From-Or Maybe CLIO
Two weeks ago we got an answer tc

our first opportunity to make it pub
lie.
The gentleman who gave US the re-
ply wanted it as an amendment. We
stated that when out hunting not to
shoot until you saw it move, that it
might be a WPA worker. He said
that if it didn't move, it still might
be a WPA worker, but that owing to
cold weather (what cold weather.
and lack of food and clothing, he
might be frozen to death and not able
to move.
The gentleman then disclosed that
he was Leonard Paugh, of Deer Park
and chairman of the organization
around here which is claimed to be an
atfiliation of the CLIO.
Here is something else of much
more value from another WPA work
er, and it's my bet that this one really
works.

here against the same club. They had

Reds Pick on Giants, While

Associated Press Sports Writer.
As a hard-boiled baseball fan, whose
only reason for standing during the
lucky" seventh inning Is to get lin
bered up bit, you may not put much
stock in baseball superstition. The
"jinxes," however. seem to be playing
their usual important part in the PEN
nant races.
In particular, Pittsburgh's Pirates.
National League leaders, seem to be
jinxed by the Brooklyn Dodgers and
the second-place New York Giants by
the Cincinnati Reds. And now the
humble Phillies are troubling Chi
cago's Cubs.
1t wasn't any great surprise to the
cash customers when the Dodgers
knocked of the Pirates. 4-3, yesterday
and the Reds outlasted the Giants,
7-6, in an thinning struggle. Pitts
burgh has won just half its 16 games
against Brooklyn and the Giants have
taken only one series and six games
in II starts against the Reds.
Atwood's Homer Beats Cubs.
The Cubs dropped their third
straight close one at Philadelphia, 6-5,
when Bill Atwood belted a home run
with two out in the 18th inning Of a
twin-bill opener. They came back to
win a seven-inning nightcap, 4-3. The
even break left Chicago two and half
games behind the Giants and one up
on the Reds.

may have had more to do with their
defeat than any bugaboo. Going into
the 18th with the score tied, Frank
Mccormick made his fourth hit for
the Reds and rounded the corners on
an infield out and two errors. Bill
Posedel's steady f1inging and Dolph
Camilli's hitting accounted for the
Pittsburgh setback. Camilli. with a
homer and double. scored two runs
and drove in three. scheduled sec.
ond game was rained out
Despite the victory, the Dodgers
dropped to sixth in the standing when
the Boston Bees won two 3-2 decisions
from the ST. Louis Cardinals to pick
up half game. Deacon Danny Mac
Fayden hurled eight-hit ball and Lou
Fette seven-hit game for the Bees.
Yanks Work Overtime.
The New York Yankees worked over
time to win two games from the
Chicago White Sox and increase their
American League lead to two games.
With Monte Pearson hurting five-hit
ball, they took the opener, ST.. Then
Spud Chandler had to toll Is innings
when one bad frame cost him three
runs before the Yanks blasted Thorn
ton Lee for four runs and a 7-3
triumph. He gave only eight blows
and walked none.
The second-place Cleveland Indians
game with Washington was rained out
along with the Athletics Detroit con-
| test.
Boston's third-place Red Sox ran
into an unexpected surprise at St. Louis
when the Browns won a doubleheader,
7-6 and 1872. Two runs off Hal Nc
Kain in the ninth won the opener and
a seven-run first inning plus Howard
Mills four-hit flinging settled the
afterpiece, cut to seven innings by rain.
