Shortage Acute
The intensive bombing Of Eng

already inadequate.
Since the fall of France, every
one has known what was coming,
but the imperative need for tanks,

British factories that England has
not been able to do much about
supplying the demand. Because OF
the Neutrality Act, we, as in
dividuals, cannot send England tanks

'They are even important to de-
tense, for, since England Is fight

balance the gloom of the dreariest
blue Monday that ever followed
a black Sunday in New York.
To give you the facts of yester-

give you the scores of the six base

thorough ard severe humiliatiOns
the three metropolitan teams have
received simultaneously in years
and the worst blow to New York
since the Indians sold their title
to Manhattan for 1924 worth of COL

taking those whippings, the Dodg-
ers, Giants and Yankees learned
that bread that is cast upon the wa
ters-like Mother Careys chickens
often comes home TO roost.
For in each of those double head
ers the New York clubs lost at least
one game because of the perfor-
