Hudson will share a peculiar lime

favorites 10 win the tournament
BY the luck of the opening round
draw, however, they drew each
other. Briggs won the first game,
10. and every one looked forward
to seeing the 1887 world champions
return TO a commanding position
in the tournament which winds up
tonight But, within a day or so,
Philcons beat Briggs. Then d. J.
Healy beat Philcons and finally
Hudson won over the Healy'S when
a protest over an ineligible pitcher
was wed. Everything was
topsy-turvy so far as the experts
were concerned but tonight the
two co-favorites. surviving many
trials and tribulationS, will meet
to finish what they started which

with one of his old-time pitching
masterpieces, an achievement in
which he dished out the half dozen

WEATHERLY SCORES
The lone Cleveland run came in
the fourth inning and was scored
by little Roy Weatherly, who sim
lgled, stole second. advanced 10
third when Tebbetts throw went
astray and scored later when Jeff
Heath was retired on an ihfield
grounder. Had Boyd Perry covered
second on Tebbetts' throw. Wealth
erly would probably been out in
stead of safe at second on a stolen
base. But that's speculation, in the
light of what happened.
For the most part Bridges was
in command OF the game from
start TO finish. upsetting tradition
in that the player who has day"
often comes cropper on that

Tommy refused to stick TO form.
II was like that in the 1885 World

pitched the Tigers to a champion

were scored in the fourth inning
when Campbell cleaned the bases
with a two-bagger.

Il IS interesting to recall that
the attack upon Honolulu was so
entirely unprovoked by this
eoufSry that even Professional
.paciEsts wavered in their faith
and decided to support the gov
ernmnet against foreign attack.
Il IS Just as well for national
unity that the war began through
Japanese deviItry IN the Pacific
because this. has soIidified pub

RED-FAcED IsoLATIoNIsTs
JOIN BAND WAGON
U. S. LEARNS LESSON

Now that tie non-interven-
tionists ana isolationists, almost
without exception. have agreed
that the Bnited states is no
longer isolated in the Pacific, it
IS not to the interest Of national
unity to deive too deeply into
the fa1seness of their views but
it Is most important for the peo-
pie Of the. United States to un-
derstand the lesson that the ma
ton has been taught in the Pa
cifie.
For many years. IN fact since
1918, a vociferous crew of alleg-
ed patriots have paraded UP and
down the nation, arrogantly as
serting their own patriotism and
denouncing what they called
American Intervention in world
affairs. These super-patriots did
their best to persuade the people
of this country that those who
failed to agree with their isoIa-
ton theories were attempting to
serve the interest of foreign gov
eFnments and were oblivious to
the welfare of the people of this
country.

Had war come to US in the
Atlantic Through. the aggression
of Hitler, The die-hard non-inter-
ventionists and isolationists
would have pretended that the
President Of the United States
was responsible for the attack.
Since war began IN the Pacific.
while President Roosevelt was IN
the midst of an earnest and sin
cere effort 70 arrange a peaceful
settlement Of issues IN the Far
East, there IS no way 70 blame
his policies for the conflict

The reader should not fail to
comprehend the present world
situation or to understand that
the Japanese attack upon Pearl
HarboE represents a piece of the
pattern of lawlessness that dom
mates Axis purposes. The only
reason why cur war did not be-
gin in the Atlantic was the fact
that Great Britain stood between
the United States and the strik-
ing power of Germany, making
Il impossible for Hitler to launch
a surprise attack upon some
great metropolitan city on the
eaSern seaboard.
