 New York, September 27. - (UP) = Scattered paragraphs containing scattered thoughts:
 The opening price on the World Series makes the Yankees ? to ] favorites over the Dodgers. Most people think the price will shorten as soon as the Brooklyn fans begin to get their money on the line. Best guess right now is that the Yankees probably will be 8 to 5 favorites Tuesday night or Wednesday morn- ing.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees speaking: T said last spring that Brooklyn had class enough to win the pennant. Since then they have added Billy Herman at second base. It will be great series and 1t will be fun to beat the Dodgers"
 Don't stop me if you've heard this one: Last winter Lou Nova trained down in Pennsylvania for his fight with Max Baer. Billy Soose was working at the same camp in prep aration for a bout against Ernie Vigh. Ray Arcel was trainer for both fighters. Soose's fight was scheduled considerably earlier than Nova's and Lou, who had grown a beard, decided he wanted to come into New York to see the Soose- Vigh business. His managers ad- vised him not to come to New York while wearing the beard, but Lou kept the whiskers, bought himself a $l.l5 gallery seat at Madison Square Garden and settled down to watch the fight.
 "Whos that fellow working in Soose's cornerP" Nova asked the man sitting next to him.
 That's Ray Arcel," the man re- piled.
 "Oh, yes," Nova said, Ines the fellow who trains Lou Nova. By the way, Is that Nova any good?"
 "IIe stinks," said the man.
 "Oh, no he doesn't" Nova yelled through his beard. He's going to knockout Joe Louis some day."
 Personal prediction: The Dodgers are going to find that Spud Chandler is a very tough hombre If and when he starts a game against them in the series. The big guy seems to have recovered from all his ailments and Is really throwing the ball past the batters. He worked against the Washington Senators yesterday, turned in a three-hitter and looks like he will be ready to go to town next week.
 Keen Contest
 The boys ought to know a lot about the big ten football race when dusk falls on the Pacific coast to- night. Minnesota, favorite to win the conference championship tangles with strong University of Washington team. It will be one ot the toughest games Minnesota will have all year and the boys ought to have a good chance for the confer ence title if they get by this one, and keep on rolling through big ten opponents.
 One other duel that should de- velop interest in the World Series will be the race between Dolf Ca milli and Charlie Keller for home run honors, provided Keller's injured ankle permits him to play. Both ot them will be shooting for the right field stands where Babe Ruth used to lombard the customers.

PEACE OFFENSIVE
 OF ADOLF HITLER
Diplomatic ManeHvers Are Directed Chiefly Toward
 Japan, France
By United Press)

Adolf Hitler struggled to seize the diplomatic offensive today in what Great Britain regarded as the first stage of a new Nazi peace ofHen- sive".
 The NaA diplomatic maneuvers were directed especially toward Jap an and Vichy France, ti was believed as result of:
 1. Summoning of a meeting of 10 or more German allied or dominated state in Berlin tomorrow, ostensibly to renew for five years the anti- Communist treaty but reportedly to establish a basis for a counter-blast against the war aims of Great Bri- tain, tie United States and the Soviet Union.
 2. Arrangements for Marshal Henri Philippe Petain to meet or Wednesday with ReichSmarshal Hermann Goering and possibly with Hitler in a reported Naz effort tc use French war facilities against the British North African offensive ir return for concessions" toward 6 permanent settlement with France.
 8. Efforts by the Axis to encour- age Japan to maintain Q firm stand against the United states and Sri. tain in the current negotiations at washington for 6 settlement of Pa cific war threats.

Mine Strike Is Before
 An Arbitration Board
Three Men Will Decide on Union Shop" Dispute; Dr. John K. SteeIman of Consolidation Service
 Will Really Decide
BY FRED BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff CoFTespOndent)
 Washington. Nov. 24.-(UP)-A three man arbitration board meets today or tomorrow to decide the United Mine Workers demand for a union shop in captive" coal mines which caused week of strikes in the coal fields and threatened the vital defense production of steel mills.
 Both sides were represented on the board-UMW President John l.. Lewis, for the union; Benjamin Hairless, president of United States Steel, for the steel companies which own the captive mines. The third member, who will decide the issue since 1t is assumed that Lewis will vote for a union shop and Hairless will vote against one, is Dr, John R. Steeiman, director of the U. S. conciliation service. Both parties are committed in advance to ac- cept the verdict.
 Steelman was given a leave of absence from his job so he could serve as representative of the public. By this means, the gov- ernment has no representation and should he vote with Lewis for the union shop, the government would not be in a position for forcing the five per cent of the captive miners who are non union, into the union which President Roosevelt had saiC the government would never do.

Heroic Work of Bremen Stopped Spread of Most
 Dangerous Fire CAUSE OF BLAZE IS
 BURIED IN DEBRIS Damage Is Estimated at $75,OOO, But May GO to
 $lOO,OOO

Hidden in charred and sod. den ruins today was the cause of a disastrous fire that early last night destroyed two three-story buildings in the heart of the city's business center. Only by heroic work of firemen was it prevented from spreading to other structures within the South Main, Brook and Scovill street area. Originating ir the building housing the Rose Shop, at 86 South Main street, the blaze was roaring through the next. door Bradley % Tiara building, at T7. Sl South Main street, even as fire- men arrived. Much of the business section would have been in danger, said Fire Chief Thomas r. Cava- naugh had the fire started late al night or had there been Q strosas wind.
 A fireman and . spectator were injured during the course of the blaze, while a number Of firemen today nurSed cuts, bruises and other minor injuries,
 Damage May Be $l00,0Oo
 Damage estimates varied. Fire Marshal Dennis j. ,Lahey said the loss would be about $75 900, but un- official sources said the damage would probably go well over the $I00,O 900 mark.
 Building Inspector John T. Hart. ley this morning ordered that the front of the Rose shop building which remained standing though the rest of the structure collapsed be torn down. A wrecking crew began demolition before noon. Pc lice had the area roped off as precaution against a sudden col. lapse.
 Fire Marshal Lahey this after, noon awaited arrival of Deput Marshal Gene Lenzi of the state DO lice department, and of insurance underwriters investigators. Police Supt. William J. Roach was ready to cooperate in the probe into ths fires cause.
 'The fire had c terrific start", said the marshal. Tt must have been going long time before the alarm was sent in. It Is very for tunate that the outcome was noa more serious"
 Smoke, Water Harmful

Crowded Bumper to Bum per on Many Streets;
 Cops Had Tough Time

4 traffic jam that took per- spirlng policemen an hour to break up this morning was one of the at- termaths Of the spectacular fire which destroyed two buildings on South Main street last night. With fire apparatus still at the scene, traffic had to be rerouted from South Main street and from Brook street, thereby causing terrific eoa- gestion on other nearby streets.
 Cars were crowded bumper to bumper on Union street, South Elm street, lower Grand street, In Ex- change place and along several blocks on East Main street. The tie-up was made even worse tenn porarliy when, ct 6 o'clock, fire alarm was received from a West End box ard engines had to race to the scene.
