Nazis had resorted to unrestricted"
war at sea by use of floating mines,

wich reported that the 11,930-ton
Japanese passenger liner Terukuni
Maru had been blown up and sunk.
Previous reports today had told
of the sinking of the mine sweeper
Masiff and the British trawler
Sea Sweeper by mines.
Chamberlain recalled that during
the World war the Allies had seized
German exports on the high seas
in retaliation for U-boat attacks
on merchant ships.
There had been reports last week
that Britain was considering such
drastic action as seizing German
exports-in addition to the block
ade of German imports-but Cham
berlain's announcement was sur
prising because of its possible effect
on such neutral countries as Italy.
Many violations of international
law and the ruthless brutality of
German methods have decided the
government to follow a similar
course" Chamberlain said in ref
erence to the allied action in the
World war.

could be used only if they became

Speaking OF football, our choice
for all time All American all around
grid star is Jess Bonham. This Is
on the basis of strictly verbal re-
ports from Jess himself.
While chewing the fat with the
lads on the bench at the Brawley-
Imperial game, Jess let himself go
and down came his hair. Along
with his hair came a marvellous
series of stories about when he
plaved for Brawley. We listened
wide-eyed about how he, as an
end, shared passes from nowhere
and dashed for touchdowns. When
we were almost ready to swallow
our cud with admiration, jess
changed the record and related his
experiences as a center.
When the cud was about to go
down for the second time he sud-
denly became guard and so on
until Jess had played every posit-
ion in the history of football and
maybe a couple more.
During the half the boys sug-
gested that Jess display his Prov
ess. He reared back for pass,
but the ball flew out of his hands
and sailed out behind him. No
more pleading could get him onto
the field again.
THAT, my young friends, is the
famous Bonham Backward Pass
and it fools everybody" said Jess

He uncurled altogether. He had
seen Farmer Browns boy once be-

him. He is little near sighted, is
Prickly Porky. So now he got
slowly to his feet and marched
straight toward Farmer Browns

ever to the stick with which Farmer

Jimmy Dykes,
Miracle Man,
Revamps Sox
BY ROBERT McSHANE

nNE Of baseballs present minor
miracles is the way in which
the White Sox have managed to keep
well up in the first division OF the
American league pennant race.
The Yankees, of course, are right
at home in top position. First place
Is automatically theirs by virtue Of
DiMaggio, Dickey, Gordon, RoIfe
and Selkirk-n0t to mention the
strongest pitching staff in either
league.
Number two position is held down,
logically enough, by the Red Sox.
They reached that status through
the aid Of Foxx, Cronin, Grove. Will
lams and few more of like caliber.
But it's not In the book for the
Chicago White Sox to be In their
present position. With the exception
Of Luke Appling, there are NO big
names In the Sox lineup. And, In
cidentaIiy, AppIing isn't having his
best year by any means.
There are additional reasons why
the Sox should relinquish their first
division spot. The services Of Mon

lost to them through a hunting acct

Lightweight Golf

John @. GOLFER can't expect his
- caddy to become very enSAusias-
tic about an invention which will, if
it becomes popular, probably relieve
him of his job.
The new gadget is . golfing kit,
and its inventors expect it to replace
the conventional and cumbersome
set of clubs and the heavy bag. The
kit is so designed that it requires
only one shaft to which is attached
the head needed for each shot on
the course. The outfit weighs some
four pounds as compared to IA
pounds for the bag.
A Chicago golf pro experimental
with the kit and found it practical
The club heads are all arranged in
slots and Upper compartment pro-
vides space for balls. The club
heads all screw onto the single shaft.
and the experimenting pro found
that the heads provide a firm hit
ting surface When the club head
meets the bah the impact serves to
tighten the head since the goE er is
hitting against the groove of the
screw.
The length of the shaft is not ad-
Unstable, but compromising factor
makes the putter properly short and
the distance clubs suitably long.
The hosel length controls the entire
club length. Tic hosel on the putt,
er is practically nonresident, that for
the three iron and woods is extreme
ly long.
That the kit will ever attain a high
degree of popularity is doubtful.
Most golfers will prefer the conven-
tional set of, clubs. For the travel
er, however, it means freedom from
a bulky bit of luggage. For the
golfer who prefers to play without a
caddy the new set eliminates a
heavy. unwieldy bag.

Successful Trades

Four men are largely responsible
for the surprising showing of the
White Sox. They are Gerald Walk
er, Eric McNair, Joe Kuhel and
Mike fresh. Each of the four was
added to the roster through the trad
ing enterprise of Manager Dykes.
The Chicago swapping king got
Walker and fresh, along with Mar
vim Owen, from Detroit in a deal
for Dixie Walker. Tony Piet and
Vernon Kennedy. Walker has driv-
en- in enough runs this season to
take third place in the league, be.
hind Ted Williams of Boston and
Hank Greenberg of Detroit. He is
getting regular, and excellent, serv-
ice from fresh.
Detroit, on the other hand, retains
none of the original three men they
drew in the six-man swap. Dixie is
now with Brooklyn. Kennedy was
traded to ST. Louis, and Piet has re-
tired from baseball.
Eric McNair came to the Sox
from Boston in return for Boze Ber-
ger. McNair's hitting ability has
been more than welcome by the
Sox. Since joining the Red Sox,
Berger has worked only as a SUBJ
stitute.
Dykes picked up Kuhel in a trade
which sent Zeke Bonura to Wash
ington. Kuhel had . poor season In
1888, but hit his stride this year.
In the meanwhile Bonura was
waived out Of the American league.
His departure from Washington left
Bucky Harris talking 10 himself.
