| year and that was more than CO.
| incidence. The morale of the VIC
tins had been shattered by the de-
feat and the criticism and abuse
that followed it.
McKechnie himself was a victim
of one of those debacles, losing his
job when the Cardinals cracked In
| 1929 after the Yankees had flattened
them in the fall of '2S. But this
time he had a stronger fibered bunch
and they hammered back from the
ragged edges of ruin.
The Big Three
Barring that one slump early in
August, when lombard and Gene
Thompson were out with injuries
and the whole team rocked under
the tragic fate of Hershberger, the
Reds have given such a smooth
performance that it is difficult to
pick out this man or that and say
that if it hadn't been for him, they
wouldn't have rushed to another
flag.
But I'll cite three men without
whom the Reds would have had
much harder going: lombard, Joe
Beggs and Bill Werber.
Beggs' case illustrates once more
that a capable relief pitcher is in
dispensable in modern baseball.
Those Eighteen Games
McKechnie credits Beggs with
saving at least eight games that do
not appear in his record. Since his
record was 10 victories and only two
defeats, you can chalk up 18 games
the Reds would not have won with
out him. Take those Is games out
of the victory column and put them
on the other side of the ledger and
the Reds would have been whistling
for pennant, much less a World
series.
"Beggs has the two qualities that
are most essential to a relief pitch
er," Bill said. Control and faith
in himself. A fellow moving in to
check an enemy assault must be
able to get the ball around the plate
and must take no account of the
odds against him. Beggs has won
derful control and I never saw a
pitcher who, without being in the
least conceited, never has the slight
est doubt about himself"
Series POaUer House
Werber, this year as last, was the
key man in the infeld which, by the
way, made fewer errors than any in
the league. Challengers in 1888, the
Reds cracked in the infield and fad
ed as the Cubs went on to win. Last
year Werber, at third base, worked
a startling improvement in their
first line of defense, pulling it sharp
ly together and holding it.
This year he not only kept tight
| grip on the defense but on the at
tack he slammed the ball in the
pinches.
He was the best lead OF man In
the league and, when he wasn't
leading on, he was cleaning up,
hammering In the runs put on the
bases by the men in the lower end
Of the batting order.
It took Bill long time to mature
as ball player, knocking around
on Yankee farms and in the Amer
lean league. 1t took him long time
to discover that he could play third
base better than he could play Sec
ond base or shortstop. But he
clicked in time to contribute heavily
to Cincinnati's first pennant-and
first series-in 20 years.

The reports indicated that the landslides were t the first phase of a large scale sabotage to harrass the Ger man forces of occupation as well as disrupt the supplying of Nad air bases on the west coat from where German planes reportedly have been taking of to bomb British cities and towns. It was recalled that the Brit ish Royal Air Force recently re- ported a severe bombing on the Ger man airport at Stavanger, Norway.
 When the landslides had wiped out many stretches of the Oslo Bergen railroad and adjoining highways, German authorities had a nasty consultation and ordered soldiers to patrol all stretches still open to traf- fic to prevent further sabotage. It was understood that repairs to the road SO that traffic can be resumed would not be completed for several weeks.

Since Italy had only six battle ships, the two reported engaged at long range about noon today ap- parently made up the bulk of the Fascist capital fleet stil lin opera ton. The position of the long range engagement was not indicated but the British air attack on Tar anto had been designed to drive the Italian fleet out into the Mediter- ranean to do battle with the Brit ish.
 The engagement reported by the admiralty today indicated that British drive to break the Italian fleet still was in progress in the Mediterranean and that the Fas- cists still were refusing to accept the challenge to fight, although the British have said the enemy had numerical superiority.
 It was indicated that the British naval command now had located the Italian warships and would con- tinue their pursuit.
 The communique said the Italian force reportedly consisted of two battleships accompanied by large number of cruisers and destroyers.
 Immediately upon becoming aware of the approach of our forces, the enemy altered his course and retired at high speed toward his base" the communique said.
 Our forces pursued and it is known that they engaged the enemy at extreme range" the statement added e.

 Struga reports said that large contingents of Italian troops from Porto Edda already had reached a point on the coastal road known as Port Palermo.
 Border dispatches said it was ex- pected the Italian retreat north ward from Porto Edda would be hampered by Albanian rebels who were alleged to have ambushed mountain roads and passes at alti- tudes up to 5000 feet.
 The route that retreating Italians had to traverse, according to the frontier reports, was through thick forests, making ambush easy.
 It was claimed also that Greek troops whcih during the weekend occupied MoSkopolis, northwest of Koritza, continued to advance slow ly last night, occupying the village of Sipska, three miles north of Mos kopolis. It was said that the Greeks also had captured 8 hill, helping them to hamper the Italian flight.

 Then, still without a word after the fine was imposed, Tunney stalked to the court clerks desk, and paid the fine of $15 and cost of $7.40.
 Tunney sat at the counsel table with his attorney, and with Abraham Wofsey, attorney for Mrs. w. F. Johnstone, owner of the dog. Mrs Johnstone, in her complaint to po- lice, said the greyhound was valued at $500. She is the wife of an exec utive of the Petroleum Heat and Power Co., Stamford.
 A possibility existed Mrs. John- stone might institute a civil suit against Tunney.
 Prosecutor George Dimenstein outlined the case to Judge Daniel E. Ryan. He said the accident occurred Nov. 2 while Tunney and his driver were proceeding to New York. The body of the dog was placed at the side of the road, and the driver was instructed to make report, which he failed to do.
 Judge Hanna told the court he agreed in substance with what Dim- enstein said. and said there was no intent on the part of Tunney to break the law. He praised Tunney as an estimable citizen and as a large contributor to charities.

BRITISH AID TO
 l BE POSTPONED
Senate Foreign Relations Committee May Wait
 Until Next Year
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Nov. '27-CUP)-The Senate foreign relations committee probably will decide today to post pone consideration of legislation to extend financial aid to Great Brit ain, until early next year.
 PoStponement was said to be in accord with the wishes of President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull. British financial needs it was said, would be more clearly known when the new congress con- venes in January.
 Meeting for the first time under the direction of its new chairman Walter F. George, successor to the late Key Pittman, the committee is expected to discuss various British aid proposals informally.
 It has before it the bill of Sen William H. King, D., Utah, to re- peal the Johnson law-forbidding loans to World War debt defaulters and to amend the neutrality act which prohibits loans to belligerentS British Holdings.
 Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., a committee member, plans to press for action on a resolution that would empower a subcommittee to deter mine the extent of British holdings in the United States.
 George said there would be an in- formal discussion of those proposals but he was confident no action will be taken" He sRid the committee would be glad, to hear King if he decides to attend and urge imme- diate action.
 George conferred with Secretary of State Cordell Hull yesterday and pointed out later that the British ambassador, Lord Lothian, had said upon his return from London this week that the financial aid ques- tion need not necessarily be settled until early next year.
 Both the House and Senate are tn recess today. A Senate judiciary subcommittee considers the nomina- ton of J. Warren Madden to be a judge of the court of claims. Mad den's successor as chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, Dr. Harry A. Mills, received the unani- nous approval of the Senate yester- day.

Premature Disclosure
 T know that you will also see the point when suggest that in the regular conduct of administrs- tive work of this nature" MT. Roose- welt telegraphed, carefully laid plans for the obtaining of further information which may lead to the breaking up of subverSive activities may be severely handicapped or completely destroyed by premature disclosure of facts or of suppositions to the public, or by nasty seizure of evidence which might with little more pateince be obtained in a manner to be admissible in court or by giving of immunities to witnesses before congressional committees as to matters revealed by their own testimony. Such action may defeat the ends of justice"
 MT. Roosevelt continued:
 You are correct in saying that there should be the closest harmony between your committee of the House and all administrative de- partmentS in the investigation of fifth column activities in this coun- try.
 There can be no constitutional objection to the investigation of such activities and a report thereon and recommendations thereon by a committee of the House of Rep resentatives.
 Tt is however, clear that the constitution of the United States lodges the executive responsibility in the hands of the President and that, therefore. continuing admins trative duties in relation to illegal activities. lie in the executive branch of the government and not in the legislative branch.
 Asks for Harmony . "As soon as this distinction is clearly recognized there is no req son why there should not be com plete harmony between your com- mittee and the executive branch of the government"
 Upon recognition of this principle, MT. Roosevelt said, Dies should be able to arrange working agreement with executive departments on spheres of operation which would prevent any conflict in the American drive against subversive groups.
 If you agree, as I am sure you do, that this is a proper division of functions" the PreSidentt old Dies, "any difficulties as to detail in applying these general principles can be worked out in conference between the executive department or departments affected and your com- mittee.
 "The attorney general will be glad to arrange for the holding of such a conference at your convent ence."
 Mai. Gen. Edwin M. Watson, MT Roosevelt,s appointment secretary arranged details of the Presidents conference with Dies for Friday. He talked by long distance telephone this morning, confirmed the engage ment for Friday, and received Dies acceptance of the invitation to come to the White House.

Continued from Page D was obvious that military aircraft production should take precedence over commercial orders, and the gov- ernment does not want to resort to priorities to get this production on schedule.
 Douglas made his denial in a statement issude here and in Santa Monica, Cal. He said government contracts for military planes "have not been delayed" by, commercial or- ders and the national defense com- mission had approved the construc- tion of the commercial planes Stim- son mentioned.
 Have Given All Aid
 At no time has this company failed to give the war department and every other branch of the United States government the fullest and sincerest coperation," he said. "On the contrary, we have assured the war department and the govern ment that any measure considered by competent, impartial experts to be necessary to our national defense will be carried out by us to the full- est extent.
 At no time did either the war de- partment or the defense commission ask us to discontinue construction and delivery of commercial ships. If and when they do, we will promptly comply"
 President Jack Frye of Transcon- tinental and Western Air, Inc, in Kansas City, declined direct com- ment on Stimson's statement but said commercial planes are custom built" and that tools, dies and other facili- ties required for their production could not be usd in the building of military aircraft" He cited civil aeronautics board figures to show that only 322 airliners were in opera tion on October 15, adding that most airlines did not have enough equipment to take care of the trans portation demands upon them this summer"

 The union wanted an increase in the basic hourly wage from 50 to 75 cents an hour. It got 62ls cents and proportionate increases for appren- tices.
 The company wanted clause pro- hibiting strikes for the 16-month duration of the contract.
