exploded workman named Michael
Kristoff was overheard crying:
what have I done? What have /
done!" Following him, police and
secret service men discovered he
had been employed by the Eagle Oil
works, adjacent to Black Tom, three
days before the explosion; also that
he had quit Unexpectedly without
collecting his pay. For months aft
er that secret agents followed Kris
toff night and day, working beside
him, tracing every clue that might
connect him with the saboteurs. In
the end agents were satisfied of his
guilt, yet convincing proof of his
connection with the German govern
ment was missing.
Much the same thing happened in
Wozniak's case after the Kingsland
explosion. Of his involvement agents
were positive. Yet again they could
not link him with the Kaiser. There
was too much undercover spy work.
In 1880 the claims commission de-
cided against the United States. In
1882 a petition for rehearing was
denied but in 1888 the case was
again opened with revelations which
upset earlier testimony of Freder-
lex L. Hermann, Brooklyn-born
German spy, and Paul L. G. Hilken
of Baltimore, who had served as
paymaster for saboteurs during the
war.
Hilken himself was responsible for
the new development. Searching his
attic on Christmas day, 1880, he
claimed to have found a copy of
Blue Book magazine for January,
1917, which was subsequently intro

Diet Not Vigorous Chewing, Responsible for Healthy Teeth
Says arctic Explorer after Watching Eskmos Eat Meat

BOSTON-Nobody ever saw a
charming girl gnawing a ham bone
at dinner party, but some people
say she should for her teeth's sake.
But not Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
famed arctic explorer. In years of
studying the primitive society of Es-
kimos, Mr.. Stefannson says he's
never seen this sort of a hearty
dental workout. In fact, he claims,
we already chew far more than our
primitive ancestors.
Dental reasoning, he said, has
gone astray by assuming that the
Eskimos, with their fine, healthy
teeth, would chew at least as much
as we. Then the argument is built
up by picturing Eskimos as ex-
traordnary chewers.
1.-THE argument proceeds" said
Mr.. Stefansson, 'that when people
ate meat in the way illustrated by
the charming girl, they developed
and retained excellent teeth through
much biting and chewing of tough
and coarse food"

Involuntary Thoughts

That which we are, we shall

left open, and thoughts go out of
our minds through avenues which
we never voluntarily opened.
Character teaches over our head.

Louis Looks Bad In Drills; Gate $5OO,O

Detroit. September IA. = (UP) - They're betting on Joe Louis, heavy weight champion of the world, to retain his title here Wednesday night when he meets Bob Pastor of New York for a 20-round bout.
 But the fans who've been to the training camps, both within an hours drive of Detroit, come away saying:
 Pastor looks good, but Louis - well, he just doesn't seem right"
 The challenger is working out only one day out of three in order to bring him to ring weights of 187 pounds, four pounds over his present weight. He appears to be at his best form now.
 At the Louis quarters, while the Brown Bomber's supporters wouldn't concede Pastor a chance under any circumstances, they're afraid that the fight may last five or six rounds If Joe doesn't get sharpened up in the inext two or three days. Louis has been tagged by his sparring partners more frequently in the past month than in most of his prev ious title defense preparations.
 But the gate, at least, is showing no signs of weakness. The latest report from Mike Jacobs shows an early sale of $250,000 in cash-across- the-counter tickets, with the total gate expected to exceed a half million.

FeLIers FirebaH Brings 21st Victory
Thompson Boosts Red
 Stock For World Series

Dcrringer pitching a victory, Gene (Junior) Thompson, the big blond right-hander who was in the Sally league last season, came through to boost Cincinnati's pennant stock several notches.
 Thompson has been flirting on the edge of arrival as a major league pitcher all season. He arrived with a bang unexpectedly yesterday when he hurled the Reds to 90 shut out over the Dodgers. He gave up only two hits-one of them a punt beat out by Dixie Walker in the eighth and the other a single by Johnny Hudson. in the third and not a man reached second. Only five got as far as first, two on hits, two cn walks and one on Billy Werber's error.
 It was Thon4Lson's ninth victory in his freshman year, and 1t presaged a brilliant future. McKechnie has been predicting all along that Thompson had the stuff to become a star and that all he needed was experience. He's only 9 and it's quite a jump from the class B Sally league to major league starters job in one season.
 Last time anyone except Walters or Derringer won game for the Reds was August 21 when John Mig geling, the veteran rookie from h. dianapolis, beat the Phillies, TO.
 Casey Beaten
 The Reds beat Hugh Casey, one of the Dodgers best pitchers Wer- ber's single and Goodmans double scored run in the first. Berger,s 12 homer added another in the sec- ond A hit batsman, a sacrifice. and Werber's single accounted for the third tally.
 The Cardinals chung to their pen- nant hopes by slugging out 10-9 win over the Pilillies and remaining 3 1-2 games behind the Reds. Joe Medwick's homer with one on in the eighth clinched the victory after the Phils had forged ahead with two- run rally in their half of the eighth.
 The Giants and Pirates broke even. New York winning the opener, 20, on Harry Gumbert's two-hiCter ar. Pittsburgh taking the nightcap, "A.
 Hank Leiber paced the Cubs to a 15-4 victory over the Bees, slugging out two homers and two singles for a perfect day at bat.
 Bob Teller won his Fist game, pitching Cleveland to a 9-4 victory over the Yankees. He beat his closest rival, Red Ruffing, who was ham, mered out of the box in six innings while trying for his 22nd win.
 or Nose Grove copped No. l4 as the Red SoX nosed out the Tigers, 10. He gwave up only four hits and famed seven. Boston's only run came when Destutels doubled, ad- vanced on Tebbetts' error, and scored on Finney' scarifice fly.
 The White SoX scored a double victory over Washington, 3-l ell innings) and AZ (8 inning, dark ness).
 The Brown slugged out an 1l-3 triumph over the Athletics with Jack Kramer going the route while St. Louis rapped out 17 hits

 Pin League Hits And Bits
BY FLINI.FLAM

Well-Well, and an albright too, the Commercial League got of to flying start at the modernistic alleys of genial Ray Stone. Who cares about the thunderous roar of shrill- ing bombs dropping over wonder ds 1t EuropeO when we enjoy hearing the roar of pins being dropped into alleys by the youngsters with ball in their mitts instead of a forty four!. .Tattle-taling on the boys
 A lot of new shining, beaming faces have appeared in the new '39- 40 league and f advance reports are anything fut,lristic 1t looks as If the Commercial League will provide plenty of fireworks. And Ray will have to cover the alley with as- bestos. They are really that hot!l Buddy Devino, former flash of the high school gridiron put iIl his first appearance with the Waterbury Ma son Supply outfit and glitters like north star with the neat way he handles the black ball. Within a few months he should develop into a top-notches. .Ye older spotter noticed in the Worden lineup Roy Hallock who ten years ago could challenge any of todays top-notch- CTS and give the free oS,lookers an added extra treat. C'inon Roy. the boys are still blue from those cheers that lead you on to victory Mon- day evening.
 Prediction. That Everybody's Market team should easily come roll- ing in on tidal wave to victory for first place when the bowling year ends out! (Oh am hay in my guess?)
 Surprise package department. That league officials are in a huddle night after night arranging some nifty prizes for the lads when the stop sign puts up Its red light for the seasoni Sooooo, don't say we didn't warn va to shoot for those high marks boysl -.
 Scouting the players. Sam Madnick has more form than Elanor Holm when he pivots down the alley. .Whatta man!

Imagine if his robs were in good condition tsk, tsk, Joeyi
 And so, this Is the old left handler taking his leave with his little red book of notes when he will return to this sane space (f the editors of the sporting page allow it) next week. Why don't you hop aboard the bandwagon of fun next week and drop around to the Mattatuck al- leys for a gala evening of hectic fun with the boys of the Commercisl League.
