and nearby Hoikow, chief port and

The action, announced in Toxic

Office. extended Japanese-controlled
areas far to the south Of their
mainland territories into the Amer
ican, French, British and Dutch
spheres.
The island. lying off the coast
of French Indo-C China and between
the British strongholds of Hong Kong
and Singapore, had been watched
with interest by both Britain and
France since the beginning of the
undeclared war.
(Souces close to the French
foreign ministry indicated in Paris
today that France would accept
temporary" Japanese occupation
of Hainan Island. Informed
quarters said the French in
.clination apparently was to &C
cept the presence of japanese
troops on Hainan Island as a
military necessity for Japan
in her undeclared war With
China. The foreign office said no
French troops were on the island

regulars occupied shore positions or

inland against Chinese forces.
Control of the island would give
the Japanese a base from which
their warplanes could greatly ex.
tend their range to include the new.
ly constructed highway from 1ndo'
China to the Chinese interior, en-.
abling them to hamper the flow o.
military supplies.
The Japanese foreign Office
spokesman denied the Hainan at

with France and admitted thai
Japan did not inform France priol
to the landing in accordance with
the treaty terms.

BERGER TUGBOAT IS DESTROYED BY FIRE

Heinie Berger, owner and op- orator of the Berger Lighterage Co.,, suffered the misfortune last Friday of having his tugboat burned to the waters edge be- hind Sledge Island, where it was Weathering out a storm.
 Berger and Joe Austin, a nat i've, were the only two aboard at the time. The cause of the fire was a gasoline explosion in the engine room of the tugboat, where Berger was working at the time.
 Berger received numerous burns about the face, although none serious, while Austin was not injured in any way. Both men leaped into the skiff which was tied along side, and rowed to the beach of the Island, where they watched the complete des- tuction of the boat.
 They then rowed fourteen mil es from Sledge Island to the mainland at Cripple River. There Berger hired Philip Ahsaruk to bring them to Nome in his oom- iak which was powered by an out-board motor.
 They arrived here Saturday. In commenting on the loss of his tugbdat, MT. Berger declared that he would be back in Nome again next spring with two die sel-powered tugs, and that he was through with gasoline-engin ed boats.

MANN AND M'COY
 AT BRIDGEPORT
Heavyweight Match on To- night-Eatman Paired
 With Ban0la

Bridgeport, May A. tSpeciaD = The. most important bout on the Connecticut fistic calender in years, will be staged at Newfield Park here tonight when Nathan Mann bids for the New England heavyweight championship against Al Mccoy of Boston, the titleholder, in 10-round bout.
 Interest in the match because of prospects for a tight battle and the fact that Mann must win to con- tinue his comeback drive to the front ranks of the national heavy weight picture, has been whipped to a high pitch and. it is expected that Newfield Park will be packed to capacity when the principals climb into the ring about 10 o'clock, weather permitting.
 Mann is expected to rule as the favorite, although on recent records the two should enter the ring at even money. Mann won decision from Al Gainer and went on to lick Buddy Knox in his two most recent battles, coming from behind in the last named match to win by a whisker. On the other hand, Me- Coy gave Gainer a more decisive licking and fought a draw with Knox alt h ough many experts thought the Boston French Cana dian had the edge throughout.
 The experts give Mann the edge because of his heavier punching ability but Mccoy mas shown at times that he can punch with the best of them and may pull sur- prise on Matte by slugging with him. Both have much at stake in the bout, with Mann seeking a match with the winner of Lou Nova-Max Baer setto, and Mccoy is in line for an August match with Joe Louis in Boston late in the sum- mer if he wins tonight.
 The eight round semi-f1nal, and for that matter the entire prelim- mary card, will feature Connecticut favorites. In the semi final, Eldridge Eastman of Norfolk, an up and coming youngster, ana Wally Ranola of New Britain battle for the third and deciding time. Their last match was sensational, with Eatman SCOT ing victory after sending his foe to the canvas twice in the last round. In one of the six-rounders Red Moffett of Devon meets Young Warren of Meriden, and in the other Gene Gregory of New Haven meets Jack Alexander of New Brit ain,

BLUE PETER IS
 NOW FAvORITE
 FOR BIG DERBY
American Horse, HypnOt= ist, Second Choice, Most
 Popular

Epsom' Downs, Eng, May 24.- CUP)-The biggest crowd of Eng lands sporting year streamed into Epson Downs today for 10 hours of fun and frolic and maybe two minute glimpse of the most famous horse race in the world-the Derby.
 From everywhere and in every way they came, clerks and hobbies, lords and page boys, clergymen and shop tenders. Trains arrived from London every minute and still the roads were clogged for miles with Rolls Royces and Fords, bicycles and donkey carts. More than 350,000 were expected in all and from the pace at which they began arriving at dawn that estimate looked small.
 A field of 29 acceptors was drawn for the 160th running of the mile and half classic. The track was hard and fast and the weather hot and clear, assuring conditions liked best by the favorite, Lord Rose Bery's Blue Peter, who was quoted at Al in the bookie shops surround ing the spacious plant.
 Second Choice Popular
 Blue Peter, winner of the 2,000 guineas stakes at Newmarket, was the favorite but not the popular horse, which was William Wood- wards Hypnotist, one of the two American aspirants and second choice at 8-1. All week long the flashy bays price has been hammer ed down until today a heavy per- centage of the jostlnig throngs ex- pected him to be the fourth United States contender to win Britain's most coveted sports prize.
 But six other horses were given a solid chance of carrying their 126- pounds home first. They were Fox Cub Heliopolis, Casanova, Admirals Walk and Dhoti-the new hope of the Aga Khan-and Triguero, son of a former winner.
 Royalty There
 The Dukes of Gloucester and Kent, and their families, occupied the royal box in the absence of the king and queen, and Queen Mother Mary, confined to her home after a motor accident.
 Special police guards kept an un- usually careful watch to prevent bombings or other disturbances on the part of the Irish Republican army.
 The large entry list of BIT horses and the payment of extra fees for the 91 eligibles brought the purse to around f12,530, or $62,650. The share to the winner was set at ap- proximately f1o,550, or $52,750.

New York, May 24-(UP)-Put-
 ting the sports shot here and there:
 Bill Brown, two-fisted, outspoken
 New York boxing commissioner, thinks that Tony Galento, with his beer drinkinlg, cigar smoking, scorn
 of. training, and bombastic boasts, is a disgrace to the boxing game and it will be much better off if Joe Louis knocks him quiet on the night of June 28. "Galento," Brown says, "is one of the few boxers I ever knew who apparently works at low ering the standards of fine sport. " Galento's hell raising is partic- ularly distressing to Brown, because he has always stoutly maintained that promoters and managers and hangers-op, not fighters, were the cause of boxing's ills. {. It is his theory that fellow who keeps in good enough condition to fight. and has the courage to stand up and battle with his fists, can't be bad sort if left alone by chiselers, fakers and the like. The master minds whose business it is to select an American polo team to defend the international trophy against the British are not satisfied with the play of the 40-goal dream team"
 of Phipps, Smith, Hitchcock and Iglehart.-. So they made lineup change for the test match of today, replacing Inglehart with Winston Guest. <. But when the serious firing begins the four 10-goalers will be back together, and you can bet on it Even if they lacked in efficiency their glamor would make up for it in box office appeal.
