breaking loss. He gave only six
hits, but three came successfully
with breaks combined.

those respective sessions was one
run three for Spokane, two
for Tacoma.

by Hornig, triple by McCor-
mick, single by Clawitter, a
walk by Falconi and fielder'a
choice and wide throw by Har-
riman accounted for three
runs, the only scores the In
dams made. Hartman was not
credited with an error.
The Tigers enjoyed their fat
inning In the eighth. Mattos
doubled with one away. Reich
singled. scoring Mattos. Abbott
singled and Reich hiked to third.
Abbott was forced at second on
Mountains grounder to DeViveiros
and Reich scored. Garretson flied
TO center.

In the ninth when with Harri-
man dying on an outfield fly,
Clifford dOu bled. Marvin
Rickert, batting for Brady,
whitfield in the pinch and Col

grounder, ending the game.

Geographic strategy was disclosed
today Is the basis Of Soviet Russian
proposals to Finland, involving
domination Of the Gulf Of Finland,
greatly improved defense for Len
ingrad and firmer control Of the
Arctic waterways.
As outlined to the Supreme Soviet
by Premier MolotofY. Russia is ask
ing:
A lease on q small section of Fin
nish territory near the entrance to
the Gulf Of Finland presumably
Hango Head and the town Of Hango)
for military purposes.
Title to some small islands In the
Gulf of Finland.
A strip of the Karelian Isthmus
north Of Leningrad.
Portions of the Rybachi Peninsula
on the Arctic Ocean.
In exchange, Finland is offered q
portion of Soviet Karelia twice the
size of the Finnish territory re-
quested. Russia also would with
draw objections to fertilization of
the Aaland Islands in the Gulf Of
Bothnia, If by Finland alone, and
the Finnish Soviet border would be
demilitarized.
Significance of these proposals
rests on the contours of the Baltic
Sea, which probes deep into North

significance at present. Its mouth Is

Molotoi1. disavowing any aims in
the direction of Sweden. thus ex-
presses his willingness to let Finland
control that gulf by agreeing to
fertilization Of the Aalands.
The Gulf Of Finland, however, Is
. different bit Of waterway. At its
head is Leningrad. the renamed
port which Gear Peter the great
built on the Russian marshes. Also
along this gulf lie Finland's capt.
tai, Helsinki. her important city Of
Viipurt, and on the south the Es-
tonian capital, Tallinn.
Russia, having made military
pacts with Lithuania, Latvia and
Estonia ON the Baltic, is fortifying
the islands Of Hiiumaa tDagoe) and
Saaremaa (OeseD. OF the Estonian
coast, and is converting the Es-
tonian town Of Baltiski baltic

be ruler Of the gulf almost beyond
challenge.
Leningtad is only about 20 miles
from the southeastern Finnish bor-
der. however, and Moloton pointed
out this distance Is well within range
Of artillery.
Therefore, he proposed that Fin
land cede several dozen kilometers'
Of territory north Of Leningrad and
that TIE new border be demilitar-
lied.
The peninsula of Rybachi, on the
far no}thern coast. already is held
almost entirely by Russia, Finland
having only = small portion which
gives Fer an outlet to the Arctic
Ocean. Whether suggested conces-
sions tnere would cut Finland OH
entirely from the Arctic Sea was not
made clear.
In return for all this. Moloton Of

ton Of Karelia.

that Russia has the right to protect

Omcial Germany was evidently

analysis Of causes which led to the
European conflict, his assertion that
restitution OF Poland and the al
legged fight for ideologies were mere
excuses by Britain and France.
There was an ofiicial silence In
Britain regarding the speech, but
British newspaper headlines de-
clared, The Soviet Is Neutral"

1t was apparent from the teno,
OF the press and private comment
that the British regarded Molotoff', :,
remarks as offering Germany "a

Great Britain has carefully avoid

Mixed Reaction in Toxic.
In circles close to the japanese
government the speech produced
mixed reactions.
Proponents of closer Russia -Japa-
nese ties hailed Moloto6's references
to Japan as "an encouraging sign
that the long friction soon will be
completely removed and predicted
success for trade negotiations.
Other highly placed Japanese,
however, described Molotoff's speech
as "lukewarm," and ambiguous"

several times heavier on the Japa-

Finally, Japan made proposals to
terminate the conflict, and we will

Molotod said the next step toward
Improvement of Russian japanese
relations would be settlement of
frontier questions.
In addition" he reported, "the
possibility has been established of
starting Soviet-Japanese trade nego-

the development of Soviet-Japanese
trade is in the interests of both
countries"
Adding that it was difficult to
