Outside Fans
Get Ducats
FOrBaUGame

A rush of mail orders from Pierce
county and southwest Washington
communities has dispelled the fear
that a game between two outside
teams-The House of David and
the Kansas City Monarchs-will
not draw a crowd in Tacoma.
The game between the two great
travelling teams will be played at
Athletic park Sunday night at $50
o'clock.
Hardly had announcement Of
the game been made when
mail orders started coming in
TO the office of the Tacoma
Baseball club, which is han
ding arrangements for the
two transforming teams.
Included were orders from Brem-
erton, Puyallup, Sumner, Enum-
claw. Orting. Buckley, Eatonuville,
OLYMPIA, Chehalis, Napavine and
Shelton.
Few fans get chance to see
these two colorful outfits oppose
each other and it looks like they'll
be coming from all directions for
scores of miles to see the game
between the Davids and the Mon
archs Sunday night" said Jack
Quill, president of the Tigers, when
he looked over the stack of reser-
=. "ations.
Satchel Paige, the ace Negro
pitcher, who is rated as one OF
the greatest hurlers in the history
of baseball, will pitch at least part
of the game. Two weeks ago when
the two clubs last FLASHED, in Port
land, Satchel pitched the entire
contest. allowing the Davids only
four hits. II is possible that Doc
Tally. who has been pitching for
the bearded tossers for 20 years
and has a great arm despite his 80
years. will oppose Paige part Of
the way. Tally showed what ne
can do when he worked against
the Tigers here Monday night.

But don't forget the amateurs,
who'll be out there firing their
share of psrs and brides.
Harry l.. Givan, the Seattle
Walker Cup player. and one of
the top-drawer amateurs in the
world, heads the list of simon
nures. He plays from scratch.
REAL COMPETITION

ton. Thus far, there are no less
than six two-handicap players and
seven who boast handicaps of

Ken Suesens, all of the Ever

The GMC lads took a three-run

Marble on base. This was all the
GMC clan could do with Albanese
until the fateful tenth, but first q. E.
After submitting to n six

team came To life In the last

Acute Gasoline Shortage Blocks
Reconstruction Work In France

GENEVA, July 31ARHA gaso-
line shortage is putting a strangle-
hold on efforts of the viehy gov
eminent to ~reorganize. the portion
Of France u%noccupied by German
forces, according to reports filter :
ing into Switzerland today.
From a dozen regions of the un-
occupied area came word of des-
perate shortages of certain food
stuffs and supplies which are
plentiful elsewhere but cannot be
transported because gasoline is
lacking.
Rail transport is badly hindered
by war damage to railroads and
bridges and by inability even to
get the needed produce to the rail
lines from the interior.
Solution to the whole problem is
gasoline but the French supply is
almost exhausted, it is reported.
The British blockade has halted
Atlantic and Mediterranean ship
ments and the Axis powers are
not offering any of their own.
Not only automobile and truck
transport, but gasoline and oil
burning rail equipment is halted.

Bremerton is already in
the full tempo of wartime activity,
though it is one of the cities farth-
est removed from the European
war.
In 1867, us. naval authorities
recommended that a ship yard be
established on the great peninsula.
Because Of the deep sheltered wat
iers and the natural defenses. This
has become a huge, sprawling es-
Enlistment capable Of building OF
repairing almost any ship. More
than 1900 men are employed now
with an average of IS new workers
being hired daily. Two %destroyers
were launched a few weeks ago,
and others III on the way. Air
craft carriers, cruisers, battle wag.
ons and a%uxiliaries keep the harbo1
foaming as they follow each other
the World War. Then as now, there
were more jobs than beds in the
town.
Then the war ended and the bot.
tom fell out of the city.
And they have money in their
pockets, too" a desk officer says.
They're not buns, and they have
good jobs. They arrive in the city
and go from door to door asking
for a place to live. There aren'1
any places.
Other uncounted dozens sleep ir
the park, in trailers and autos
along the highways, anywhere. !:

DERIDE
ACT OF HAVANA
British Spying In Japan Is
Termed Real Meaning
OF Fifth Column
BY LOUIS p.

BERLIN, July 31-LR-Author-
lied German sources referred de-
risiuely today to the resolution
against fifth column" activities
adopted by the q American re-
publics at the Havana conference
yesterday.
They suggested that Great Brit
ain was engaging in such activities
in South America right now.
Japan today offers an excellent
opportunity to study what is the
real meaning of the fifth column.
they said. The British intelligence
service, after first being exposed in
the Balkans, now also has been re-
vealed as operation in Tokyo.
This should be of special inter-
est to South America, as it is hard
ly' conceivable that the British in
telligence service is sparing that
continent"
These sources said Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler and Reichs Marshal Herman
Goering in recent interviews had
reiterated to the world that Ger
many has no designs of the West
ern Hemisphere.
I'VE do not want to give a bad
example of mixing in on the affairs
of other continents, as some pow
ers do" these sources said. 4

Defense Program Brings Boom
To Navy Yard On Puget Sound

.BREMERTON, WASH, July 81
R-Men with good Jobs are Sleep
ing in the park and some in the
city jail here in Bremerton, al
though the town has no railroad
and not a single important private
industry.
Cents are high and there are
few houses to be had at any price.
The schools crowd 1900 students
into a building intended for 800
and even greater enrolment is ex-
pected in September.
Shiny new autos stand on the
streets all night because garages
are being used for bedrooms. Tav-
erns r crowded, store registers
ring dollars steadily, and the side
walks are damned.
For the good old days are back
better than ever-in this world wal
boomtown that clusters around the
Puget sound navy yard.
There's little salty atmosphere in
Bremerton. But the city pulses with
the tide more than old Salem,
Mass, in its palmiest days. At the
front door are the ferries, the huge
naval construction yard, immense
drydocks. Torpedoes are stored on
the towns back porch; and the
son the city sings is the changing
melody of American naval prepar-
edness.
While most cities are just begin
ming to know there is a defense
