Foes Await Next
Lightning Move
By German Ruler
Continued from Page u

tCOnllnltC from rage -
guessing as to where Germany will
strike next and whether the faScistS
will join the war on the side OF
their axis partner
HitlcrS purpose was not only to
divide the attention of Britain and
France between two such distant
fronts as Norway and the Near East
Lut to keep the small neutrals of
southeastern Europe in line and to
emphasize to Premier Benito Mus
solini the advantages of cooperating
with Germany.
The fascist press, which says what
MuSSOlmi wants it to say, is carry
ing the hod for the usually out
spoken Na2i newspapers directed by
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goeb-
pels, by predicting that Germany
will invade the British Isles.
While the NazlS restricted them
selves to claiming that the German
air force had demonstrated its su-
periority over British sea power, the
Italian newspapers and spokesmen
declared in one voice that the new
German bases in Norway would be
used for attack on the British Isles
by submarines. airplaneS and pos
sibly by an expeditionary force.
Such a landing expedition in
England has long been matter of
intense study by German military
experts and the Nazis now are more
confident than ever to their ali
strength.
The Italian newspaper COrricre
Padano, owned by Air Marshal Italo
Balbo and regarded as a mouth
piece for fascist military circles.
charged that Britain already had
started preparing naval and air
bases in Greece for attack on Italy.
The principal significance of Sucr
a charge regardless of its accuracy
Is that 1t begins making an advance
case for possible Italian action in
southeastern Europe. Thus. if the
British or French were seeking ali
opening wedge in the Balkans for
flank attack against Germany
the Italians might feel that they
had to act first as the Germans
claimed they acted first in Norway
IN order to foreStall an Allied in
vaSiOn
The Allies have powerful naval
forces in the eastern Mediterranean
have given Greece a guarantee of
aid against any aggreSSor and prob
ably have made up their minds
that they will not again be caught
mapping as they were in Norway
The result could only be a state of
intense preparation in southeastern
Europe that might be turned into a
new war front by minor mishac
or miSadventure.
One of the principal factors work.
ing against an explosion is the un-
certainty OF German claims of tri-
umpn over the British navy. So far
the British have made every effort
TO convince the world that these
claims are not true and to convince
MuSSollnl in particular, that he |
cannot count on his powerful air
force 20 be the deciding factor

Pitcher Holds Dodgers
to 5 Hits
by GEORGE KIRKESY

New York, May 10.--tUP)-ltS
been long time since National
League club had three 20-game WIN
ners but the Cincinnati Reds have
three pretty fair pitchers who are
good bet to turn the trick this sea-
son. They're Bucky Walters, Paul
Derringer and Gene Thompson.
The Reds were back on top today,
half q game ahead Of the Dodgers,
and Gene Thompson was the big
reason why they we're there, Thomp-
son held the Dodgers TO five hits yes
terday as the Reds won, So, and he
had the Dodgers at his mercy cX-
cept IN the third when they slugged
out three hits TO score their two
runs.
Already Thompson has won five
games while losing only one, with
four victories In succession. Thomp-
sons development from a rookie n
year ago into one OF the best young
pitchers In baseball has lowered the
odds on the Reds TO repeat. Watch
ing Thompson slap down his ball
club Larry MacPhail remarked, that
kid Is the best pitcher on the Gin
cinnatl club"
Exaggerated
II that's true Thompson Is close
10 being the leagues best mounds
man. However, MacPhail might have
been exaggerating slightly because
the Latham, ILL.,, righthander who
won't reach his 23rd birthday until
June Z was making the Dodgers look
feeble.
Behind Thompson according to
MacPhail, the Reds have Walters,
who's won five and lost none, and
Derringer, who's won three and lost
two. Walters and Derringer won So
games between them last year and
put the Reds IN their first world Sc
ries in 20 years. Walters won q and
Derringer 25.
To hold their lead the Reds will
toss Derringer at the Dodgers today
with Luke Hamlin hurting for the
Dodgers. The Reds are 10 favor
ties.
The Reds knocked Whit Wyatt out
OF the box before he could retire a
man yesterday. Bill Werber opened
with homer. Frey walked Good
man singled, and Frank Mccormick
walked. Bill Hershberger, subbing
for the injured lombard slaShed a
triple to center, scoring three men.
Then he counted on Johnny Rizzo's
single of Van Mungo, who relieved
Wyatt. 1t was the fourth straight
time Wyatt has been knocked out
Of the box.
Larry French OF the Cubs shut
out the Bees, 20 French allowed
only two hits TO score his fifth tri-
umph and his third shutout. French
started the winning rally in the
eighth when he reached first on
Warstlcr's error. Hacks triple scored
him and then the Cub third sacker
counted ON Herman's single.
Hub" Has Two
Carl Hubbell won his second game
pitching the Giants To a So victory
over the Pirates. Two OF the eight
hits of HuDbell were homers, by
Handley and Elliott. The Pirate in
field made four errors while the
Giants made two double plays.
Scoring six runs in the second, the
Phillies handed the Cardinals an
other defeat, 6-3. The Phils ganged
up on Gene Lillaru and drove him
10 cover. Kirby Higbe kept the Cards
II hits well scattered except In the
fifth TO win his third game.
All American League games were
postponed.
