NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-James

James Joy feels his lad, Bob Pas

Polo Grounds Tuesday night, has
been sighted by Cd the bookmak-
ers, CD the boxing commissioners
and 90 the boxing experts"
Jimmy feels it isn't quite cricket

quarters; and that most of the lex

pastor went 81 rounds with Joe
Louis. No one thinks Conn would
have chance with the Bomber.
So what do they do but make Billy
favorite. What kind of business is
that?
LAS for the commission-I'd like
to know why two commissioners as
well as a few of their deputies and
inspectors have visited Mike Jacobs
pet, Conn, at his training camp at
Grossinger's, 108 miles from here,
while up to yesterday all three COM
missioners, all five deputies and
every one of the % boxing inspectors
were conspicuous by their absence
from Stillman's gym where Bob is
training. And Stillman's is only
nickel subway ride from their office.

What would you think If you
were the referee or one of the judges
in Tuesdays fight Isn't there the
possibility that some one of the
officials. knowing of the attention
paid to Conn, may feel that his
superiors are anxious to see Billy
win?
From there it was only a short
pitch and putt for James Joy to
take off on the experts" Several
OF them took up the argument,
showed just how Conn could do that
thing to Jimmy's Bobby. James JOY
countered with a promise to each
one that Bob would personally knock
Conn into his lap on Tuesday.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

There was considerable moaning
and gnashing Of dental plates three
weeks ago, when the Mats en-
barked on Western tour equipped
with only seven pitchers, probably
an all-time low for a Washington
mound staff, but the groaning
seems to have been premature.
Since Joe Haynes reported with
sore elbow, leaving Manager
Bucky Harris the pathetic prospect
of juggling seven hurlers, the Mats
have played Is games and won 9
of them Haynes still isn't fit for
service. but Bucky now regards his
pitching corps as one of the Mats
lesser evils.
Washington's pitchers have re-
sponded remarkably well to the dis
tressing situation. In recent weeks
they have been the steadiest item
about the club, unleashing brand
of hurting which would flatter a
pennant contender.
Ken Chase, who recently has un-
raveled some of the most brilliant
and consistent pitching of his career,
was to seek his fifth straight VIC
tory today at Griffith Stadium as
the Mats tangled with the Red Sox.
Ken captured four decisions in as
many starts on the road, spanking
Chicago on three hits in his last
appearance.
Chase's sudden squirt has been
the most astounding part of the
Mats trend toward a winning man
ner. Stamped an in-and-outer of
his performances in previous sea-
sons with the club, Ken may be
headed for his most successful sea-
son as Nat.
Pitching Strengthened Out.
Ken still was shooting for the
500 mark as he toed the slab today,
having won 8 games and lost II,
but if he remains steady over the
remainder of the season Prexy Clark
Griffith will have cause to feel
Chase will be one of 1941's more
outstanding pitchers, regardless of
his record this year.
Washington's pitching has aligned
itself so well, in fact, that Grifhth
can devote his spare moments to
pondering about bolstering other
positions. With Chase, Sid Hud-
son, Dutch Leonard and Rene Mon
teagudo or Walter Masterson cal
culated as starters for next season,
Griff's only worry In regard to his
pitching staff Is to unveil several
relief chuckers.
There has been something re-
freshing about the Mats pitching,
inasmuch as some pleasant sur
prises have come from unexpected
quarters. Alexandra Carrasquel, re-
jected as incompetent by Jersey City
of the International League, stepped
in at one point and captured three
games in five days in relief roles.
His swarthy companion, Rene
Monteagudo, has pitched an oc-
casional f1ashy game and the fire.

Silver Is Forecast
Replacing Chlorine
AS Wafer Purifier
California Scientist
Says Metal Leaves
1t Sparkling
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PASADENA, Calf, Aug. 24-Dr.
Alexander Goetz predicts that sill
yer eventually may replace chlorine
and other germicides in purifying
the worlds drinking water.
THE metal leaves the water
sparkling and with taste of fresh
ness" said the physicist today in
describing experiments made by him
and his scientist-wife, Sylvia, at the
California Institute of Technology.
There is no disagreeable odor, as
Is sometimes noticed in chlorine
treated water.
Too, all germicides are poisonous
and the margin between the point
where they will kill germs and where
they will become injurious or fatal
to persons is five times greater with
silver than with chlorine. I doubt
II a person could get enough silver
to kill him. although large guam
tity might turn his skin black.
comparative figures are not
available on water treatment costs
because of the variation in overhead
at such plants. But we estimate that
81 to 81 worth of silver would steri-
lie 100000 gallons of water"
The experiments of DR.. and Mrs.
Goetz with poison metals also in
clude gold, mercury, lead, copper
and thallium. They find that where,
under ideal conditions, one ion of
silver will kill a yeast cell, 100 to
1000 million times as much gold or
mercury is needed. The other metals
are still less effective.
"As the most poisonous of metals.
silver is absolutely unique" said
DR.. GoetZ. 1T is the only metal
which loses but one electron in
water.
Potassium also loses one cleo
iron, their ions are about the same
size and We have evidence that sill
yer replaces potassium in yeast
cell and causes its disintegration.
DR.. Goetz said that in applying
the silver to water it is mixed with
other substances in special process.

Wet leaders in the Legislature saw
to it that when the voters express
their opinion on prohibition they
should not lose sight of the tax prob
lem that might arise as a result of
elimination of revenue now gained
from liquor levies.
/ The question to be answered yes
or no is:
DO you favor disseminating the
legal sale of Intoxicating liquors,
wines, beers. or other intoxicating
beverages. and the imposition of
new taxes to replace lost revenues as
a result of the repeal of the present
liquor law?"
Since beer was legalized in 1888

South Carolina Votes
tuesday on Whether
To Forbid Liquor
Advisory Referendum
Expected to Be Followed
By l94l Assembly
By the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 24.-The
South, traditional stronghold of pro-
hibition sentiment, will see the first
concerted effort to return one of its
States to the no-liquor fold when
South Carolina ballots Tuesday in
an advisory referendum on the ques-
ton of forbidding sale of whisky
wine and beer.
The vote is not binding and may
be accepted or rejected by the Leg
islature, but it is almost certain that
the 1941 General Assembly will fol-
low popular opinion.
The 1910 General Assembly asked
voters in the Democratic primary to
say yes" or mo" on the question of
continued sale of intoxicating liquors
The vote was put in the primary
rather than the general election
since the State is Overwhelmingly
Democratic, with the result that
general election voting is usually
very light.
Two Southern States are among
the three States of the Union which
have never given up their prohibit
ton status, but no State, in the
South or elsewhere, has reverted to
prohibition after the change that
swept over the Nation beginning
with national legalization of beer in
1888.
Three States Now Dry.
Kansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi
still are dry States. An effort in
1888 in North Dakota to return that
State to prohibition failed.

1t was very pleasant in the arti-

It was perhaps five minutes
later that Gun saw a girl emerge
from the ladies' doorway and reg
istered attention. So did every
other man who saw her.
She had the figure and carriage
of a young Diana, and her scanty
green swimming suit made
striking contrast to an aureole Of
fiame-colored hair. Her rather ell
fin face, with it's family blue eyes
and full, generous mouth, was
surrounded by nimbus of living
fire. Her limbs were slender,
shapely and sun burned. She could
hardly be called beautiful, but was
certainly amazingly attractive,
Gun decided.
She stood there for moment
looking around her, and Gun got
the impression that she was look
ing for somebody. This impression
was increased as she started to
walk slowly round the pool. She
was cycling the men, but with
careless, distant gaze that took
no notice of their smiles and looks
of invitation.
She passed Gun himself, and he
knew that she had not looked at
his face; :, at all. Gun ,layA, on the

very closely.
Halfway round the pool Pull
niger was standing. His eyes were
on the girl, and as she drew near
er he turned deliberately, so that
the "tattooed" symbol on his arm
was visible to her.
Gun saw her pause and hest
tate, and in another moment Pull
niger had spoken to her. She
smiled at him radiantly, and eX-
tended slender hand, which he
took in his. A moment later they
were strolling along together.
Gun rose leisurely, and leisurely
strolled around the pool in the
same direction as themselves.
When he had gone a third of the
way around, he lay down again.
But this time in totally differ
ent position. Whereas before he
had been close to the edge of the
pool, on his back with his feet
toward it, now he lay on his face,
some distance from the water, and
with his head in its direction. He
