IN JAP INCIDENT
tDy Ass0cintcd FRESH


LONDON, Jan. 24.-British
statesmen today indicated that
they would hold ground in their
action of taking FL German sea-
men from the japanese liner
Asama Msru earlier this week.
Reason for the action was given
out as being DESTROYS of stopping
all military workers of Germany
from proceeding to the war zones.
Japan, on the other hand, has
handed stiff denunciations to the
British state department through
the ambassador in London. The
seizure of the Germans was
called ian insult to the japanese
navy, according to releases from
Toxic, and retaliatory measures
were reported to be considered
by the Japs if satisfaction is not
forthcoming.

years he roamed the high seas,
trading his wares in many coun-
tries and many chimes. With the
approach of middle age, he re-
signed command of his ship,
thinking to spend his remaining
days with wife and daughters.
But Fate had other plans. Per-
haps it is like the poet tells US:
" IT'S the set of the soul that de-
cides the goal
And not the calm or the strife.
This mans career had not ended,
rather had it only begun. In
1858 he left for the Legislature,
where he served two years as
state senator. When the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter called
forth the armies of Blue and
Grey, Captain Warrington sided
with the Confederacy. 1t will
be recalled that Key West was
in the hands of Federal forces for
the duration of the Civil War. In
fact, it was the only city in the
South which never lowered the
Stars and Stripes. The band of
gallant citizens who joined their
Confederate brothers, escaped
from the island at the risk of their
lives. Among them was Captain
Warrington, who reached the
mainland by means of a schoon-
er commanded by Captain Sam
Filler. The intrepid captain was
soon cast in the part of a block
ade runner, fitting role for a
daring and courageous spirit. &.
When runs were no longer feas-
ible, he was placed in charge of
the Mobile Navy Yard. While in
this position he designed and su-
pervised the building of the ram
Tennessee, successor to the Mer-
rimac. He numbered among his
intimate friends, Jefferson Davis.
President of the Confederacy,
and General Robert E. Lee. A
cherished photograph of the for
mer still hangs in the old home
=. When the war was ended, the
gallant captain returned to home
and fireside, only to find Key
West in the throes of the Recon-
struction Period. FESTIVE to laws
which forbade his public en-
ployment, he again went forth to
join the men who go down to the
sea in ships. 1t was only when
age had taken it's toll that Fate
relented and the weary wanderer
at last allowed to drop anchor in
the home port. Fifty and three
years ago. Captain Warrington
cast off his lines and set sail for
that port from which no voyager
ever returneth. But the old house
still sits by the wayside, mecca
for the thousands of visitors who
yearly visit the southernmost
city.

The modern baseball pitcher needs more than a fast ball, a glove and a prayer. He's faced with the fact that every pitched ball in the big. time today is a duel between a batter who knows a bad ball when he sees it and a pitcher who knows that the batter knows.
 Which means that the pitcher must have "stuff''-and lots Of 1t. But the fast ball is still the No. l requisite. After a pitcher has 1t working he must develop a curve, then a change of pace. Special pitching tricks like the screwball or sinker ball come later-after long, long practice.
 The three chief types of deliv- cry are overland, side-arm and underhand. Overland is most gen. orally used and some good pitch CTS employ all three. Although every pitcher uses a slightly diff ferent grip and a slightly differ ent delivery, there are general pitching fundamentals.
 Some Standard Details
 The ball is usually gripped be- tween the first and second fingers and the thumb. The fast ball is usually thrown with a snap of the wrist. The curve ball, thrown with an outward rotation of the hand and arm, spins out of the hand between the Chumb and forefinger. Both deliveries should look alike as much as possible. Wise batters will spot any devia- tion.
 A screwball, or reverse curve, is gripped in much the same man. ner but is released with an in- ward rotation of the hand and

Purple Sox FieIders Turn milne Supporting
 Game Sunday

Errors beat the Moose yester- day in F'iremen's Park as the Elks hall club nosed the Moose 3-2 in what was for the most part crack ing good game.
 Elks were set down with only four hits, but with as many Moose errors to help them, and three walks from Johnson, the antler boys had the scoring breaks.
 You can add to Koski's eight hit chucking, however. the fact that the infield and outfield behind him came through with the best support this year.
 Every day, the Elks Club begins to look more and more like ball club.
 Best supporting field game was played by Ray Havlic in center for the Elks. Havlic pulled in five flies, two of them out of short left field, one running enchanted CdICli III llBlit iield, dilu oiiooiiSl one back against the fence in the rocks. The other catch we've for gotten.
 Elks got their first run in the first inning when Taguchi got aboard as Converse misudged the fly into left field and later was safe at third when Guy dropped the ball as he tagged him, scoring home when Pasquan grounded to second.
 Moose tied the score in the sev- enth. Snow, first man up, hit to right field and scored when John- son hit to left field and Molly MacSpadden muffed it.
 Elks came back in the eighth to play heads up ball and take ad- vantage of the breaks.
 Taguchi, leading off, got walk. Then MacSpadden was hit by a pitched ball. Knight had gone in to run for Taguchi. He scampered home from second as Pasquan laid down a beautiful third base line punt and beat it out, with Johnson

strike area, low outside, high out side, low inside, and high inside. An unknown batter's stance may tip off wise pitcher about the hitter's weakness.
 There's a lot of psychology in pitching, too. Some batters can be worried by slow, deliberate preparation by the hurler. Quick deliveries fool some. And the help of a signal thief" is invaluable. If one of your teammates is wise to the opposing teams signals he can advise the pitcher when to throw pitch-out to catch an in- tended steal.
 Fielding from the pitching po- sition is not difficult after the pitcher has learned the one car- dinal rule: Never get off balance and be ready, at all times, for any kind of a hit ball.

 MacSpadden came home from third when Havlic hit to the pitch CTS box Addleman had sacrificed MacSpadden into scoring position.
 Moose tried vainly to tie up in the ninth as Johnson popped out the only extra base hit of the game, double to left field and scored when Kimball, hitting for Converse, came through with a single, but tight fielding and a strikeout stemmed the tide.
 The box score and summary is as follows:

AMERICAN YOUTH
 CONGRESS CHARGE
Catholic College Student Investigating Committee
 Has Made Accusations

Newton, Mass, March 1l-(Up)- The American Youth Congress today stood accused by a Catholic college student Investigating committee of being "Communistically inclined and not representative of American youth"
 The committee of Boston College Business Administration school stu dents concluded its report yesterday before 200 members of the New Eng. land Intercollegiate Union for Cath olic Action with this reply to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's reported advice to the AVG: ..,
 Mrs. Roosevelt said, It doesn't matter what you do, but believe in your program We agree that she is very right when she says that con- science should be your guide. But we firmly believe that there should be Q simultaneous obligation to correct an erroneous conscience"
 The committee charged that the AYCS leaders were predominantly Communistic and received their or- ders from Moscow and that Moscow was definitely interested in Amer ican youth"
 The Young Communist league, the report said, was a minority in the AVG but was "so vociferous that 1t has persuaded the rest of the group to follow it." The original group, called together in 1884 by the Gen. tral Bureau of American Youth, 1t said, was "a high class organization of trulty fine American citizens" {" However, it said, the Communist element broke away, "got the jump" and called itself the American Youth Congress.
