Yankees Still Lose
With Di Mag Bock

Their first flop, after winning nine
consecutive games, was 81 at Gin

in st. Louis yesterday.
1t was just one Of those days.
Hugh Casey, who was the victim In
that previous defeat, was on the
mound again.
Cards on Hitting Spree.
The Cardinal powerhouse, short
circuited for weeks, made the right
connection and pffft! 20 hits, home
runs. 40 total bases. The perform-
ance tied the National League rec
ord for homers in one game and
bettered the modern league mark for
total bases. Johnny Mize and
Rookie Eddie Lake each hit two
homers and Don Padgett, Joe Med
wick and Stu Martin added one
apiece
1t was a rough day for all the
New York teams. Joe Di Maggie re-
turned to the Yankees lineup and
didn't do them a bit of good-get-
ting one single in five times at bat.
Once he fouled out with the bases
loaded.
The upshot was that the Detroit
Tigers topped the champs, Al, for
their fourth straight defeat and

The Cincinnati Reds turned in a

Ike Pearson pitched the Phillies
to a 10 decision over the Chicago
Cubs in one of the best hurting
shows of the season. He dealt out
four widely spaced hits while Claude
Passeau and Vern Olsen of the Cubs
allowed five.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were
knocked into the National League
cellar on the heels of their seventh
straight defeat, 11-9, by the Boston
Bees. Eddie Miller batted in four
runs, including three on a homer,
to help lift Boston of the bottom
for the first time this year.
The Boston Red Sox took the de-
Gliding game of their series with
Cleveland, GA, to shunt the Indians
into third place in the American
,, League, notch below Detroit. Lou
Finney got four hits for the Boston
cause and Lefty Grove got credit
for the victory. although he was
batted out of the box for the third

are definitely and openly for Blans- field against Culhane in the 18th district battle. The mayor has of ficially endorsed Blansfield, and, speaking last night to the Women's Democratic club, he predicted a victory for Blansfield in the ballot ing today. He announced again that he was neutral in the 18th dis trict primary.
 Interest Has Grown
 Interest in the primaries, at a low pitch last week, has been whip ped up during the past few days as workers for the candidates began their heavy electioneering. The cam- paign in each district has been based largely on personal appeals.
 The five candidates ended their campaigns with meetings at their headquarters last night. Each has the services of numerically large organizations, and has dozens of cars available to take voters to the polls.
 There were flurries of last-minute activity today, but for all practical purposes the campaigning was over and only the actual balloting re- mained.

Ribbentrop had left for Rome flor short visit."
 Afternoon newspapers put ban- ner-line headlines on the one sen- tence statement, in indication of the importance which they attached to it.
 Diplomatic quarters likewise att tached importance to the visit be- cause Ribbentrop left while Ramon Serrano Suner, pro-axis brother-in- law of Francisco Franco, the Span- ish Nationalist leader, was still here on an official mission as Spanish interior minister.
 Serrano Suner had talked at length yesterday with Ribbentrop. Adolf Hitler and other high ofa- cialS.
 News Is Released
 News of Ribbenrop,s departure was released by the official news agency a few hours before Serrano Suner's departure late tonight for brief visit elsewhere in Germany.
 It was forecast here that Ser rano Suner would continue on to Italy, but 1t was not known whether his visit here, or his possible visit to Rome, had any connection with Ribbentrop's plans.
 Nazis professed to see in, the Spanish leaders visit conclusive proof" of Spain's alignment with Germany and Italy. Nazis said they could not confirm what were called persistent reports abroad" that Spain might intervene in the war actively on Germany's side in order to get, Gibraltar. But newspapers put much emphasis on Spain's de- sire to get Gibraltar if Germany won.
 Nazi feeling as regards the speech of Prime Minister winston Churchill in the British House of Commons was epitomized by the of- ficial news agency:
 Churchill attempted to give the British people courage with more boundless baselessness than usual but with all the cynicism of a well tried war criminal.

vention two years and it was planned then to have him stampede the convention and win an import ant animation. But the strategy failed when the keynote failed to make any great impression on the delegates.
 Congressman-at-large Boleslaus J. Monkiewicz, of New Britain, was also nominated.
 The nominations came after the convention had adopted a platform condemning the New Deal and the third term, and praising the Repub- lican state administration of the past wo years. J. Warren UpSon of Waterbury was 8 member of the committee which drew up the plat form.
 Waterbury's delegates, in caucus today, had voted, as expected, to support Cornell for the senatorial nomination. The re-nomination of Lieut.-Go Charles L. McConaughy, president of Wesleyan university, also was without opposition. As soon as top places on the ticket were cleared, Gov. Baldwin delivered his acceptance speech, in which he hailed Connecticut as an object lesson to the nation" and as a leader in restoring jobs and industrial prosperity through friend- ly government to labor and indus try.
 Cornell Acceptance Speech Cornell, in his acceptance speech, declared America is divided into | two camps and classes" and is now confronted with an issue of life and death."
 America" he said, lis without a common purpose, as France was without common purpose.
 T am against a third term be- cause it is 8 bad thing for the country. It is a bad thing to put the means of building up so much personal power into the hands of one man."
 The Republican senatorial nom- inee will oppose New Deal U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney, Meri- den.
 As for the balance of the ticket, all incumbents will again seek re- election.
 By Reclamation
 By exclamation the convention nominated: Secretary of State: Mrs. Sara Buck Crawford, Westport. Controller: Fred R. Zeller, Ston- ington.
 Treasurer: Joseph E. Talbot. Nau- gatuck.
 Congressman-at-large: Boneslaw Monkiewicz, New Britain. State and national candidates will run on a platform vigorously oppos- ing the third term candidacy of President Roosevelt and New Deal doctrines which preamble declared, assumes "that the people are in- capable of governing themselves" The state party unanimously en- dorsed the candidates of Wendell L. Willkie and Charles L. McNary, and promised continued economical operation of government, with pos- sible reduction of taxes during the coming biennium.

 is now in British possession.
 When a defending force retreats to lure the enemy on, 1t is usually a sign of weakness. But, in the present instance, every considera- tion of strategy dictates this policy for the Britih. Length of commu1i- cations and diff1culties of transport in desert warfare are basic strate- gical problems.
 The British line of communica- tions, based on the railway from Alexandria to Matruh, is a source of strength. But the further Grazi- ani has to move eastward from Libya, through the desert, the more difficult becomes his problems of supply. It is advantageous, there fore, for the British not to offer battle until the Italians are further away from their Libyan main sup ply base bringing the conflict near CT to the British railhead base of supplies at Matruh.
 Graziani Able Commander
 The power of the Italians, how ever, should not be underestimated. because of this handicap. Graziani is an able commander, both cautious and imbued with the offensive spirit. He has had long experience in des- ert warfare, and in men and air. planes he should outnumber the British.
 Nevertheless, the longer his sup ply trail. the more possibility exists of its disruption by air and naval bombardment. At the same time, should the campaign lengthen through the autumn and checks be administered, there is danger of a rear attack from Algeria if a French colonial uprising occurs.
 But for each side uncertainties exist. If Graziani begins a major offensive it will be the first time two great powers will have engaged in desert warfare under modern conditions. Neither has a Maginot Line, and the desert does rot offer good material for entrenchmentS The principal fighting thus should be largely in the open, with maneu- vers slowed down by the sands and liable to confusions through sudden sand storms.
 Especially open to unexpected de- velopments will battles become ii Graziani starts a second offensive south of the coast, directly through modern roads at all, and mechan- ized warfare must face interrup- tions. Formal tactics, applicable tc European battle fields, will have only limited applicability in des- ert fighting. Opportunities for im- provisation will develop, with the ultimate advantage resting with the side having greater fiexibility and perseverance.

 It followed also the disclosure by the air ministry that night after night ths royal air force bomber command had been laying mines in German occupied harbors and ter ritorial waters all the way from the Norwegian coast to the Bay of Bis- cay.
 More than 30 separate mine fields had been laid, the ministry said, and added:
 "It is known that thousands of tons of enemy shipping nave been destroyed by these mine fields, some of which were laid within a stones throw of dock sides in some enemy harborS.
 "The enemy were unable to pre- vent their being laid even in strictly preserved and heavily defended wa ters."
 The Norwegian informant's state ment was taken in some quarters to be an indication that ;he German plan for an invasion attempt had been postponed or altered.
 Just arrived here by airplane from Stockholm, the informant said that the Germans had requisitioned al- most every Seawortny craft in Nor. way during the last two months. He said that after the seizures started, there was a period of m- tenSive preparation and training for an invasion of Britain, Even cav. airy was sent to Norway to train in disembarkation from ships for land operations, the informant said. He described German cavalry horses swimming to shore from ships.
