take care of the ticket holders to

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Mari-

decision on whether the transfer
of U. S. Lines ships to Panama
registry contradicts United States
neutrality laws, when and if
President Roosevelt decides to
let them render a decision.
The H. H. Rogers is under
Panamanian registry and is pre-
pairing to sail from Boston with
a cargo which they claim is not
contraband but which the Ger
man government says is.
Meanwhile President Roosevelt
has received a telegram signed by
$500 Union Seamen asking that
their plight be considered. The
seamen are out of work due to
the transfers of registry. There
are between 5000 and 10000 sea-
men involved.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain, suffering from

effect that the explosion prob
ably wrecked what plans Hol-
land and Belgium had advanced.
Another informed London
source said that the explosion
might be laid either to genuine
attempt of disgruntled party fol-
lowers to rid themselves of Hit
Ter or to a Nazi attempt to in
flame the Germans against the
British. 1t was recalled that the
Nazis are generally said to have
set the Reichstag on fire in their
memorable putschs in order to
create sympathy for their cause
by blaming England.

would soon talk to the British
in Language they would under
stand. These were the same
words used before his Polish
Blitzkrieg.
All visitors to Hitler palace are
being closely questioned.
There were no major Nazi Of
ficials killed IN the explosion but
there were a number of minor
Nazi leaders dead today. Eight
lives were lost and scores in
iured.
Reward has been upped to
$240, 900 by the Nazi government
for apprehension of the culprits.
The explosion caused the upper
walls to cave in and if Hitler had
not stopped his speech earlier
than usual he would certainly
have been killed. He left the
spot just 10 minutes before the
explosion.

FOOTBALL
COACH LEAHY TO GIVE LOU
MONTGOMERY A CHANGE

Lou Montgomery, versatile Colored
athlete, who had ardent football fans
standing and yelling at the top of
their voices last year, when Bounding
Lou" displayed his gridiron efficiency
at the Eagles football games, will get
an opportunity to see him in action
according to the plans of Coach Frank
Leahy, new Boston College coach.
Leahy intends using Montgomery
sparingly, as he feels that the sepia
player lacks the necessary weight to
be the Eagles first string halfback.
In discussing Montgomery with the
press, Leahy said, "Of course Mont
gomery fits into my plans for the COM
ing season, but you can't expect him
to do much because of his size. But
there is no installing the fact that
he is great and clever ball carrier
and will prove invaluable on occa-
sions." Montgomery's ability to glide
elusively through the line, has brought
forth plenty of applause and praise
from gridiron fans. His unorthodox
style of bounding enables him to
flicker the husky players off his pads,
like so much cigar ashes.-When
asked by sport scribe Sam Cohen of
the Boston American why he never
tries to straight arm an opposing
tackler, he replied easily: 81 never
use a straight arm, just run through
them, if I can"

with all the principles of good sports
manship and the interests of boxing"
The association took the position that
champion of one class should not
meet a fighter in another until he has
met all of the logical within his own
group. Seeking to prohibit these
inter-class bouts, the MIA. said that
in the future it would not recognize
such matches until formal applications
had been made and permission
granted. MIA. officials pointed out
that contracts for the Armstrong
Ambers fight were signed months ago
and that about all they could do at
that time was deplore it.
Abe Greene, delegate from New
Jersey, who, with Joe Triner, from
Illinois, led the fight, said he believed
the action of the MIA. would mean
better battles and more opportunities
for all challengers.
