Streak Broken,
Dodgers Face
Tough Test
Comeback After Loss
To Reds Will Prove
Class; Yonks Brace

BY the Associated Press.
The rear test for the Brooklyn
Dodgers will start today.
This isn't as ridiculous as it may
sound, because an era in the lives
of the darling Dodgers has just been
completed-a miraculous era of nine
consecutive victories climaxed by a
no-hitter-and today they are just
another strong contender in the Ma
tional League.
Every one knew, of course, the
Dodgers would lose a game sooner
or later Cor just sooner, and every
one knows now that they will lose
a lot more over the long, arduous
stretch of the season. The i'm.
portant question-the real tests
whether they show the same pro-
clivity for losing streaks they have
for winning.
Now that they are out of the
stratosphere of the record books and
bucking their way along the Ma
tlonal Leagues main street. the
Dodgers are going to find that base
ball after all is a rough-and-tumble
pastime and not a motion picture.
Werber, lombard Lead Onset.
The awakening-beaten go by
Cincinnati certainly was rude
enough to shake any day dreams
that may have afflicted the Brook
lyns. Hugh Casey was going along
pitching no-hitter for three in
nings and the writers were wonder-
ing what superlatives they could
say about second no-hitter that
they hadn't used the day before for
Tex Cartoons remarkable exploit.
Then it was boom boom BOOM
boom so fast in the fourth inning
Manager Leo Durocher didn't have
a chance to get Casey off the mound
before the Reds had made six hits
and scored eight runs.
Bill Werber and Ernie Lombardi
were the big booms. Werber started
all the trouble in the fourth by lead
ing off with double and finished
it with home run on his second
chance in the same inning. Then
in the seventh he got in the way Of
pitched ball and eventually scored
from second on single. lombard
homered while the bases were
! jammed in the midst of the fourth.
In the meantime Bucky Walters
held the Dodgers to six hits-one Of
them Pete Coscarart's third home
run of the season-for his third
victory without defeat.
The Reds and Dodgers had an.
other date today and since only two
games now separate them in tho
standings, more fireworks were pos
sible.
Yanks Back in Groove.
The rest of the National League
was rained out yesterday, but the
American had a full day.
The New York Yankees got back
in the groove with well-pitched
flve-hit game by Monte Pearson
giving them 5-3 victory over the
st. Louis Browns.
The Philadelphia Athletics stopped
the Cleveland Indians, 5-1, on the
effective seven-hit hurting of Nelson
Potter, with Wally Moses and Bob
johnson lending helping home run
hands.
This setback enabled the Boston
Red Sox to move back into a tie
for first place with a 1874 conquest
OF the Chicago White Sox. Boston
benefited from a 13-hit offensive
led by Jimmy Foxx with his fifth
home run and the notable relief
pitching of Rookie Herb Hash, who
allowed one hit in five innings.

loose behind some deserving

Only Brief Twilight Separates
War and Peace in London

principally, I wanted first to know
whether there was more or less
physical damage than I had gath.
cred from cables and the radio
military damage and damage
to vital military production.
Once oriented on this score, I
wanted to gather facts with which
to make up my mind on how the
war in the air was going. Who
controlled the heavens over Britain,
how able was the r. A. r. in COM
batting Goering's Luftwaffe and
how accurate were the communi-
ques.
Then I wanted to go to the people
of London as directly rs q stranger
might be able, to make up my mind
from talking to them what the ter
rife experience of bombardment
from the air was doing to them.
Technically this Is called studying
civilian morale.
And finally, when had done this
elementary homework, I wanted to
meet and talk with enough members
of the government and people who
had power of decision in crucial
policies so that I might form opin-
ions on several scores. such as:
What were these people fighting
for? Did they know? How was
the siege of London. the battle Of
London, the war for the empire
going forward?
Biggest Question Of All.
And underlying all these ques-
tions, the biggest question OF all:
What evidence was there for or
against the theory that real social
issues were involved, that the war
was or was not simply . war between
two very small ruling classes, rivals
for the right to exploit people at
home and colonial empires abroad?
Evening star., 1940-11-22

And the practical aspect Of that
question: What possibility was there
that the struggle for dominance In
tie world would end as the struggle
over Cxecho- -Slovakia ended-in'
sudden conciliation and appease-
ment.
In the war or out, the American
people are today behind the British
Empire, their riches at its service
In fighting fascism.i So there was
first the simple question of whether
the British were winning or being
beaten. And then the subtler and
more complicated one of whether
the war was on the up and up,
whether 1t was an honest war
against what was evil. or q dishonest
war whose British makers would be
quite willing to settle for the right
to co-exist with fascism or to make
4 Fascist state themselves and live
rs simply another sangster in a world
governed by gangsterism.
I knew I could not get the answers
to all these questions. I did not
expect to get them and have not
gotten them. What sought was
first hand evidence bearing en- these
questions and that first hand evi-
dence have, for its digesting.
How 1t Happened.
That you should understand both
the extent and the limits of my
evidence-and because it may not
be uninteresting in itself, I write
this diary of my experiences during
two weeks which sometimes seem
to me like lifetime, because they
were lived so intensely.
As I look back on i'll am writ

seems to me that these two weeks

cumstances. In the first place, I
