Pate-Sefiinq Reds Face
 July 4th Jinx

CINCINNATI, July g. = The quoted remark that the baseball team in first place on July 4th will win the pennant doesn't always hold true. It hasn't held true for the Nation al League for five years.
 Take the New York Giants, for instance. In 1884, 1895 and 193S, the Giants were first on Independence Day. But some other team won the champion ship. And in 1886 and 1937 the New Workers were trailing on the holiday, but they won the flag.
 And so that is a jinx that the Cincinnati Reds must buck if they're to cop the flag this season. The Reds, up to yester- day, still hold a good lead.

 The admiral was confronted with a great military power on the march. And, to confuse matters more, China was pursuing the "scorched earth policy" dynamit- ing and burning during the mass retreat. The admiral met this state of affairs with equanimity.
 It was Admiral Yarnen's duty to conform to his governments position as enunciated by Secre- tary Hull: This country constant ly and consistently advocates maintenance of peace. We advo- cate abstinence by all nations from use of force in pursuit of policy and from interference in the in- ternal affairs of other nations. We advocate faithful observance of international agreements"

STUDIES BOOKS AND MEN
 The admiral meant what he said when, in September, 1897, he in- formed all commanding officers oi the Asiatic fleet: Naval vessels will be stationed in ports where American citizens are concentrated and will remain there until it is no longer possible or necessary to protect them, or until they have been evacuated"
 In regard to Japan's June warn- ing for vessels and nationals of third powers to evacuate Swatow Admiral Yarnell replied that Unit cd States naval vessels would re- main as long as American citizens were in need of protection.
 The U. s. Navy stayed on the job.
 Admiral Yarnell is well fitted for his duties.
 His profound interest in the Far East commenced during the Phil ippine instruction and the Boxer rebellion when he was serving in the Orient as young officer. By study of men and books, he has acquired a vast fund of informa- tion on Asia.
 The admiral will arrive home this August. His sea-going career is nearly over. He has earned the gratitude of our people. He was truly the man for the job. the
