Dizzy's Compliment Wins
Yankees to His Side

But Diz got them on his side after
the final game of the 1898 series
when he walked into their clubhouse
at the stadium and said he hated TO
lose, but getting beaten by great
ball club took some of the sting out
Of the defeat.
{ The sophomore race in the Amer
ear League between Charley Keller
and Ted Williams is warming up.
Last year, as freshman outfielders,
they we're tops and finished close
together, with Keller having the
batting edge-334 to 1927. This year
Williams broke fast and was off fly
ing, while Keller, along with the rest
of the Yankees, found it difficult to
get away from the post. Williams
still is ahead by wide margin-but
1t isn't as wide as it was week ago,
and Keller is moving up.
They are an interesting study,
these two, especially as they are so
unlike in temperament. Each loves
to play ball and puts everything he
has into his hitting, his running and
his fielding. But Keller has to do
It all the hard way and williams
makes it all look so easy.

Old Nose, Young Bob
Hold Yunks' Focus
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, May 81 (N.A.NA).-
The Yankees, recovering from their
slump and driving once more toward
the top of the American League, are
looking closely at the Red Sox and
the Indians. They never believed,
even when they were in the very
depths of their slump, that they
were going to wind up in the shad-
ows. And now they figure it is only
. a'question of days before they will
be in front. although
holding every club in the league
dangerous on any given occasion
they naturally expect the strongest
resistance from the Red Sox and the
Indians.
They are concerned with the
pitching in Boston and Cleveland.
AS they see it, they will be aided by
a continuance of the ineffectiveness
of Old Nose Grove and menaced by
the skill of Bob Feller. They even
think-at least some of them that r
talked to the other day-that these
two pitchers, one near the end of
the string as big Lacquer and the
other just heading into the days of
his greatness, may bring about a
change in the positions of their two
leading rivals.
AS Joe Mccarthy puts it, Feller
Is doing for the Indians what Grove
used to do for the Red Sox but can
do no longer, apparently. Step in
ana halt their skidding with we'll
pitched game when the other pitch
ers are faltering. So far, of course,
the Red Sox have managed to do all
right without Old Nose in the form
he held through last year. But what
of the months ahead-the hot
months when the strain will be
heavier on the other pitchers.

I asked some of the Yanks if they
thought Old Nose was through

which he slipped under the 500
mark only once, and that in his first
Near out of Baltimore-if the Iona
coming Limited really had lost his
stuff. I asked them that, remem-
bering that everybody thought he
was through as far back as 1884,
when he won only eight games in his
first year in Boston.
They remembered that, too-and
remembered how he came back with
a rush-and what a pitcher he was
right up to the end Of last season.
Only one of them answered.
Il don't know" he said, but that's
what We heard when we were in
Boston. The dope we got was that
while he might come through with
good game once in while-might
get out there any afternoon and
blow that curve ball of his around
! the plate and then let go with a fast
one now and then just to remind the
hitters he still has it-he isn't going
% be much real help to the club any
Gnpre.
IF that's so. those other Boston
1ichers had better be hot all season.

US. Jury Returns
Third Indictment
Against Mckay
Manipulation Of Bidding
On Bond Issue Luid
To Michigan Politician
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. ga special
Federal grand jury returned a third
mail fraud Indictment today against
Frank D. Mckay, Republican ma.
tional committeeman and former
State treasurer.
The new true bill charged an at
tempt to defraud the city of Grand
Rapids Of approximately $500, 900 by
manipulating the bidding on a $2,-
225 900 municipal bond issue in 1898.
The bond issue financed a pipe line
which now serves the city with wa
ter from Lake Michigan.
Indicted with Mckay were Stran-
ahan, Harris & Co., Toledo bond
house which financed the project,
and two Of the firms agents, Robert
s. Mikesell and Stuart P. Blasier.
The grand jury yesterday indicted
Mckay, charging he took part in q
$500, 900 "shakedown" of liquor inter-
ests and defrauded Edsel Ford Of
$9,918.
The grand jury charged Mckay
and co-defendants In the liquor
fraud case Of using the mails to
"defraud the State of the honest
services of its public officials" I"
The alleged offenses, involving
liquor purchases by the State, date
back to 1885. Distillers were said
to have been prevailed upon for
money with promises that the State
would buy their products.
A second indictment charged Nc
Kay with securing the $9,918 from
Mr.. Ford on q pretense that the

ognize the Nanking regime, its own
creation, followed the failure Of re-
cent efforts to open peace negotia-
tions with Chang Kai-shek.
After recognition, the Japanese
will insist that the Nanking regime
is the real government Of China
and Chang Kai-shek, recognized by
the United States, Britain and other
powers, merely a local rebel.
The Marking Toxic treaty there
fore will become, according to the
Japanese viewpoint, the legal basis
for Japan's future operations in
China, charter for her control and
exploitation of such parts of China
as her forces hold.
These now consist Of about one
third of China proper-nearly all the
seacoast, most of the five northern
provinces, wide belt along the
great Yangtze River in Central
China and a small area around
Canton in the south.
Wang Full President.
Domei, Japanese news agency, re-
ported that Wang, hitherto called
acting president of the National
Government of China had been
made full president by the Central
Political Council in view Of the
Forthcoming treaty signature.
Chiang's regime, which now op-
crates in the temporary capital
of Chungking, does not recognize
the authority of Wang's admins
tration, established in Japanese
occupied China.
The official text of the treaty is
guarded closely, but reliable source
said it was SO worded as to permit
the Interpretation in Japan's favor
of all important clauses, thus assur-
ing Japan of an ironf1sted grip on
China's affairs.
Outstanding features of the in
strument were said to be:
l. A provision that japanese
troops remain in China for two
years after complete peace is re-
stored everywhere in China"
2. A provision extending the So
called "anti-Communist" region,
where Japanese troops are sta
toned permanently, to include North
China as well as Inner Mongolia.

own seem likely to force any relaxa-
ton Of this pressure.
In my last article I pointed out
the possibilities of a German Of
fensive in the Balkan Peninsula.
This possibility still exists, but the
position of Italy after having been
rescued from defeat by her axis
partner could not fail to become
one of even greater subordination
than that of Austria Hungary in
the last war. Mussolini's choice
seems, therefore, one between de-
feat by Britain and Greece and
grave humiliation amounting to a
loss of Italian independence.
A victory in Albania now might
help him. A victory in Egypt would
help him very much more. But
the first is doubtful, and he has
by his Greek adventure greatly re-
duced the possibility of the second.
1t is for these reasons and basically,
Of course, because of Italy's vul-
nerability to blockade, upon which
all her military calculations must
be based, that the present condi-
ton of Italy may well be described
as desperate.
Mussolini guessed wrongly when
he assumed he was entering q short
war-the only sort of war which
Italy could have dared venture upon.
He guessed wrongly again when he
gambled on the ability of his air
force to offset British naval COM
mand of the Eastern Mediterranean.
He guessed wrongly a third time
when he threw increasing stakes on
a losing board in the hope of a
quick prestige victory" over Greece.
Whatever Hitler's military capacity
may be, it is becoming plentifully
plain that his brother dictator does
not possess any gifts in that di-
rection.

HELSINKI, Finland, Nov. 28.-
Kyosti Kallio, Finland's 67-year-old
President, has resigned because Of
continued poor health, the Govern
ment Information Bureau announced
today.
President Kallio suffered q heart
attack August 20 and since then
Premier Risto Ryti has been Acting
President.
In September the German official
news agency DNB published an er-
roneous report that Kallio was dead,
but this was quickly denied In Hell
sinki, where his condition was re-
ported improving.
The son Of peasant farmer, Kali
lio climbed through the political
ranks as q member of the Agrarian
party to become cabinet minister,
Premier and finally the fourth Presi-
dent of Suomi, the Finnish Repub-
lie.
Despite his failing health, he was
extremely active in executing the
national program of reconstruction.

money was to cover q deficit OF
the State Republican Central Com
mittee after the 1898 campaign. The
grand jury said there was no deficit
and that Mckay well knew" this.
When the indictments were first
made public, Mckay declined COM
ment, promising statement later,
but co-defendant, William G. Nc
Keighan, former Mayor Of Flint,
said they were a ''big surprise" to
him.
Fred c. Ehrmann, secretary Of the
State Liquor Control Commission,
whose appointment to that post, the
grand jury said, was arranged by
Mckay, disclaimed all knowledge Of
a "shakedown." Ehrmann also was
indicted.
