U.S.. P rejection Begins
Tuesday Knox Reveals
NAVY SECRETARY MAKES PLAN
KNOWN AT LEGION CONVENTION

announcement recalled the in
terpretation given President
Roosevelt's shoot-on-sight speech
Of Thursd.:' night IN London,
particularly by the British press
which broke out such jubilant
headlines a. III. s. to guard our
ships"
The Knox announcement con-
stituted the first official dis
closure Of how the navy was
preparing to carry OF the new
policy enunciated by Mr.. Roose-
velt-that henceforth Axis war
vessels entering United States
defensive water" would do 80
at their own peril and that
American naval vessels would
not wait for them to shoot first.
In a speech prepared for the
Legion convention, Knox said:
Beginning o m o rr o w, the
American Navy will provide
protection as adequate as we can
make it for ships of every flag
carrying lend-aid supplies be-
tween the American continent
and the waters adjacent to Ice
land.
CAPTURE OR DESTROY
"These ships are ordered to
capture or destroy by every
means at their disposal, Axis
controlled submarine or surface
raiders encountered In these wa
tiers.
THAT Is our answer to Mr..
Hitler's declaration that he will
try to sink every ship his vessels
encounter on the routes leading
from the United States to British
ports"
Whether protection as ade-
quate as we can make it" meant
that u. s. warships would begin
escorting conveys of British and
other cargo vessels tomorrow
was q matter Of conjecture, but
the fact that an interim Of four
days was necessary between
President Roosevelt's statement
and the beginning Of this protec-
ton indicated that some special
arrangements requiring time to
complete had been made.

Baseball T uel for F an Fire

The Sporting News is conduct
ing a poll among baseball fans
to determine the veteran play
er of the year" There were 40
long-service performers. 26 in
the American league and % IN
the National.
There are three selections al
lowed and n you're having any
trouble picking 'em, here's a
good guess-Johnny Cooney Of
the Boston Braves, Bill Dickey
of the New York Yankees and
Billy Herman Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Apparently winning the Ma
tonal league pennant has had a
strange effect on Larry Mac
Phail of the Brooklyn Dodgers
because election day has come
and gone and he hasn't spent
cent for new players. This time
last year, MacPhail already had
obtained Kirby Higbe and
Mickey Owen.
Veteran Johnny Cooney of
Boston has a potent batting rec
ord as his second place finish
in the National league last sea-
son with .31s sttests. but it also
has a peculiar angle. Cooney
has played in 100 or more games
for the past six seasons but only
in 1889 did he hit any home
runs. That year he hit two.
