considered in next seasons pen
nant chase.
Brooklyn, now hopelessly mired in
second place. might still be in the
running for the league title had
they made trade offered them
early in the season by the Boston
Bees.
Brooklyn could have purchased
Max West and Sailor Bill PoSedel,
one of Boston's leading hurlers. in
stead of Medwick and Davis, whom
they bought from the Saint Louis
Cardinals And the price tag would
have been slightly lower than the
si25.0o put out for Ducky and Curt.
West is outhitting Medwick and
is a more adequate fielder. Posedel
has a winning record twice as
good as that of Davis and he has
several more years of service.
Back to the American league, 1t
looks like Detroit will emerge on
top in the junior circuit. Detroit
already holds one win over the
Yankees, is favored today and has
Buck Newsom to toss at the World
Champions tomorrow.
Cleveland still must be considered
as contender, but the indians
have been too unsteady of late to
be rated as high as Detroit and
the Yankees. And, incidentally, Bos-
ton and Chicago still are in the
running for the America flag, just
six games off the pace.
The feat of Jimmie Dykes in pi-
loting the Chicago SoX through
a great season, is comparable to the
Job done by Del Baker of the De-
troit Tigers and Bill McKechnie of
the Cincinnati Reds.
The Sox were rated a cinch sec
ond division team at the start of
the season and there were experts
who said Chicago would finish last.
No wonder they're calling Dykes
the miracle man.

The Arizona professional who will

Applicants for the job, among

Gently named Joe Caldwell, former
ly OF La Mesa club, to succeed Tom
Reha as pro.
Turnac's golfing career is center
ed chiefly in Arizona in sections
where course upkeep problems are
similar to Imperial Valley. For
number of years he was assistant
at Phoenix country club to Lewis
Scott who described him as very
honest and obliging, good player
and an exceptional teacher -
Later as pro at San Marcos golf
club and the Wigwam course at
Litchfield Park, Turnac added to an
already enviable reputation. In a
series of matches in which Turnac
was teamed with Willie Low, then
the Phoenix country club pro, and
Bob Hunsick of Phoenix, the trio
made warm competition for the fa-
nous golfing brothers, Les, Gray
and Frank Madison. On several oc-
casions Johnny was low scorer OF

Johnny's links skill is not restrict

his former pupils testify. Hundreds
of golfers who have built up their
games through his instruction de-
scribe his teaching ability in glow
ing terms. He ranked among the top
instructors in the Phoenix area
when that section included several
of the nations best.
Turnac was expected to sever his
connection in Yuma within the next
week or ten days and devote his time
TO assisting Alvin Immel OF Holtville,
chairman of the green's committee.

course into condition for play by
early in october. At present, work
is being concentrated on the green's.
The fairways already have a heavy

America He assisted in the organization of
the Laborers National Peace Council which
held meetings in Chicago and Washington.
The expenses of the delegates to these con-
ventions were paid by Won Rintelen. The
avowed purpose of the meetings was to build
sentiment among the working men for peace.
In reality, Won Rinteen was seeking to

the shipping of materials and munitions to
the Allies.

HOW SPIES p E ;''jlj|i OPERATE
y" TAVy. n.
muntH
Third Article IN a Tital Series

-SPIONAGE is a fine art Like all the pro-
fessions, it has its leaders, those who rise
- above all others in Importance to the
forces they serve These men or women are
selected and trained because of their intelli-
gence, personality and education. They must
be impeccable in diction and accent of the
language of the country in which they are to
operate And, of course, they must have their
blinds, behind which they can operate, pre-
sumably on legitimate basis.
Their training is not complete until they
know the history and geography of the coun-
try in which they are to be assigned. They
must be acquainted with its folklore and the
culture or lack of culture of its people. They
must be emotionally able to simulate sectional
prejudices and share in the nationalistic
fancies of the lands of their assignment.
A spy's value is directly in proportion to
his contacts, or those of the organization he
directs. In times of peace. his chief assign
ment is making friends whose innocence ne
can play upon when necessary.
As an illustration, suppose, for instance, a
charming lady comes to America. She is well
coined in some of the best homes in the land
She is well-versed in certain industries and
discusses them with rare knowledge with their
leaders. A brilliant conversationalist she is
always welcome dinner guest. Her knowl-
edge and interest in certain industrial devel-
opments bring her many invitations to visit
scenes OF operation. Some day these contacts
might be valuable to hostile nation She
will know Just where to 60 for information
of the type that will reveal the supply of de-
fense materials. She will be able to state with
authority vulnerable points in great indus
trial centers She will become an observation
post for saboteurs - that is, unless she IS
removed from circulation. She represents the
type of spy that specializes in industrial and
commercial secrets.
Then there is another type. She can be
illustrated from an actual case. Plans for her
scheme were made on the roof garden OF
fashionable hotel in foreign country She
and successful professional man were being
feted by two officers of foreign intelligence
service In addressing the young lady, one
of the officers asked, Would it not be possible
for you to make contacts in Washington for
our government" The young lady did admit
knowing that many of the younger Army
and Navy officers and government officials
we're underpaid. The foreign officers painted
picture OF how they could advance her money
to entertain her guests lavishly. Then, when
she was we'll established, it would be easy to
introduce the two intelligence officers around,
should they visit America. In return she would
have q large house and an adequate income
in her homeland.

Promised q Coptoiney

LATER the couple were the dinner guests of
the chief of the military intelligence service
of this foreign country, who was responsible
for the development of intelligence in North
America, France, the Netherlands and Can
ada. He reiterated the proposition of his sub
ordinates and even promised the professional
man captains commission in his country's
air force and home if he would make the
right contacts.
Fortunately this plot was nipped in the
bud Had the plans developed which have
inst outlined, agents would have been placed
in the homes of certain high government
officials, posing, for instance, as housemaids or
walters.
One convicted spy boasted that he had
contacts in loan offices who would be in
position to know of the financial obligations
of government officials. Others in turn could
make contacts and benevolently offer assist
ance to the proper officials in times of flnan-
cial embarrassment Fortunately, might
add. the consummation of such plans is very
unlikely in view of the precautionary steps
that have been taken.
Adaptability and versatility are the first
traits sought in the recruiting of spies. In
this, we can profit from the last World War
in Tightening up on our national defense. We
recall the case of Captain Franz Won Rintelen.
Evening star., 1940-07-28

Won Rinteen became more ambitious and
formed two-millon- dollar pool to purchase
munitions in competition with the Allies.
His activities came to the attention of Special
AgerAs of the FBI when he sought to pur-
chase 100000 rifles from our government for
the Imperial German Government. Our in
vestigation revealed the Identities of several
agents working Under Won Rintelen. There
was for instance. the chemist who made
bombs according to his specifications. No
longer than cigar. they were capable of
igniting ships cargo few days after it had
sailed 1t was Won Rintelen wlD formed the
American Truth Society. which was to be
used to disseminate propaganda on behalf of
Germany.
In times of pcsce. as have already pointed
out, spy's task is to make contacts. Then,
in times of transition, his interest shifts to
propaganda to build up favor for his principal.
And when armed conflict comes. no holds are
barred in his methods of operation.
