Gets Hold
on Title

oNEW YORK. May % - (P
- Gus Lesnevich had half hold
on half q title today, obtained
by a half-hearted victory be-
fore half house last night at
Madison Square Garden.
The sturdy Cliffside, N. j..
fighter outpointed Anton Chris
toforidis of Greece, recognized
by the MIA. as light-heavy-
weight champion, in q battle Of
scrambled titles-and now needs
only two items to make him un-
disputed king.
One is the admission Of the
MIA. that the fight was a legi-
innate title affair, a question
brought up by the fact 1t was
held outside MIA. territory,
and the other is q victory this
summer over Jimmy Webb.
Should he defeat Webb he would
be recognized a. champion by
the New York commission.
Lesnevich had an edge over
the dancing, left-hooking Greek
from the start last night, but at
times the margin was as slim as
the crowd, which ratified around
in the Garden like birdshot in
q tin can. Attendance was esti-
mated at 1000 with receipts
around $4,000. -
The Associated Press score
card gave Lesnevich eight
rounds, Christoforidis five, with
two even, but If there had been
any doubt 1t was obliterated In
the 18th and final round when
Lesnevich had the willing but
wanting Greek out on his feet
with a vicious barrage of blows.
He couldn't floor him - and
neither did he floor him the
half-dozen times earlier he had
him in a bad way through stout
rights to the head. On such
occasions Lesnevich abruptly
went into neutral, failing to fol-
low up his advantage and let
ting the cobwebs clear from his
opponents head.
Lesnevich weighed IT'S, Chris
toforidis 166.

attended nearly every game
played by the Indians at home
and not q few on the road while
employed in the A m eri c a n

Peck was smart enough to get
off on the right foot with the In
dians by telling them he never
heard of their last seasons trou-
bles with Witt and that all hands
were starting from taw.
He built confidence by an
nouncing that he was taking
over a powerful and well-bal-
anced club. and by way of stress
ing the point went out on a limb
and picked his team to win the
flag.
He gave jeff Heath a shot In
the arm by telling him that he
expected him to hit as he did in
1898, when the big Seattle Kid
narrowly missed winning the
batting championship in his
freshman year.
The net results Is that under
patient Roger Peckinpaugh, the
spirit of the fearful Tribe of
1910 is such that II can survive
adversely when and If slump

Unlike the iron shot off the

Who, If not he, should want to know
the truth in full?
Needs Change Rapidly.
He must seek it not only from our
reports, but from those OF the Brit
ish and both through ali the sub
terfuges of Nazi concealment. There
is a conflict of opinions among Brit
ish experts as to needs. What was
most vital in yesterdays emer-
gency yields to still more pressing
demand tomorrow under the swift
fluctuations of war.
To strategists, who had perspec-
tive on this side of the ocean, send
ing a small army to Greece seemed
nothing short OF military folly.
Crete was still another in the Sc
quence of misfortune. Since the
Mediterranean had become useless
as a British life line wonder was
expressed In some quarters in
Washington if it would not be better
for Britain to withdraw altogether
from the Mediterranean and center
all her energy and our aid on home
defense. Should Britain be lost all
would be lost.
But in magnificent determination
and faith the British decided to
hold out to the bitter end in the
Middle East. So be it. This spread
our aid across the Pacific to the
Far East around the far-flung over
seas reaches of the Empire.

ton now is to get the material for
them and the ships to transport
them to the Middle East, which has
been chosen as decisive battle

ain herself.
1t is said that the President has
a warrant for keeping details in
his own hands because of the COM
plicated world stretch of the pat
tern of his problem. For technical
information he is accustomed to GO
far afield from his cabinet. The
President wants" which is the most
meaning phrase in Washington life,
brings an expert in any branch of
a subject quietly and swiftly to the
White House.
Those who ought to know the
Presidents attitude say that he
wants TO be convinced the Con-
gress and the people are back of
him when it comes to final action.
The one sure thing is that We are
still short of war" since we have

In England daylight saving

Of sunlight. This enables the
British not only to conserve fuel

In some quarters it has been

eral Government can declare

or not, there is a feeling that
Congress could well act in the
matter as a measure of national
defense.

Their reasoning is easy to fol-
low and the logic seems excellent.
In the event Britain and the
United States are defeated by
the Reich, they say, Singapore,
Java, Sumatra and the Philip
pines would fall into Japans lap
without firing a shot. But Japan
would still feel uncomfortable on
the northern borders of her new
Asiatic empire. If the Axis is de-
feated Japan would lose every
thing. But if the japanese forces
don't get entangled with those of
the democratic powers and con-
fine themselves to their present
objectives and to Siberia, it is
immaterial how the war ends;
nobody will bother to force the
Japanese armies out of the Mari
time Provinces.
