way for becoming an active partner
within the axis alliance, and that the
Soviets may decide to change their
treaty friendship into something more
aggressive, in favor of Germany.
The possibility exists that Jap
an, already a passive ally of Ger
many, and Russia, . friend Of
Germany, may take an actual
part in the war which Hitler is
waging against the British en-
pire. That is not yet certain,
but Matsuoka's journey does open
new vistas, does give cause for
new speculation.
If the japanese foreign minister
would terminate his trip at Moscow,
it would not attract as much atten-
ton as it now does. But he intends
to 60 on to Berlin to see Hitler and
Won Ribbentrop, and from there, he
wants to travel to Rome to see Mus
solini and Ciano.
There Is possible only one in
depreciation, and that is that Mat
su0ka has been entrusted with the
mission of forging a completely
functi0ning German Italian-Rus-
sian-Japanese alliance. In Rome,
the task Is particularly delicate
because the relations between
Italy and Russia are characterized
by an indifference or GOODNESS
not conducive to collaboration on
the axis battle fronts.
So-many thoughts will follow Yo-
suke Matsuoka on his most unusual
trip from Tokyo to Moscow, Berlin
and Rome.
Balkan Middle.
The japanese visit at Moscow may
have some as yet unimagined bearing
on the muddled Balkan situation,

Man Who Sold AIsab
For $500 Doesn't
Seem RegretfuI
By the Associated Press.


LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 22.-Part-
ing with Alsab for s700 seems "all
right" to the man who sold him for
that, even though the amazing bay
colt has won $1O2,8So in his first
year of racing.
"I thought he was worth more
money than that, of course-you
can't raise them for s700--
But Mr.. SABBATH (Al SABBATH, Chi
cago attorney bid more for him
than anyone else, and it's all right
with me-"
This was the viewpoint expressed
today by Thomas Piatt, made philo-
sophie by 40 years of breeding
thoroughbreds, as he reflected on
Sabath's Jackpot buy" at Saratoga
a year ago, when Alsab was an un-
tried yerling.
Piatt said he didn't consider the
sensational turf star the top horse"
in the consignment of yearlings AL
sab was sold with, but added:
'I always thought Alsab was a
good horse-racy and solid.'
Losing the chance of racing AlSab
for himself doesn't disturb Piatt,
who races only a few-"some that
have blemiSheS or scratches and
does that only because I'm entitled

his has finished worse than third.
Red will come up with a good

Why, last season Mackenzie had
signed only five players four days
before the season opened, but he
produced a championship team. Hes
wired me not to worry, and that's
a good sign because usually he does

more Of the week in Southern Con-
ference football for his play in
Maryland's l3-to-12 upset of Florida
Just behind him is Albert Salvato,
The Citadel's triple threat back
from Philadelphia, who did every
thing-and did it well-in the
Cadets 13-to-l3 tie with Furman.
Though Wright scored no touch
downs, he was on the throwing and
receiving end of several passes, and
he hurled the two aerials that
resulted in Maryland's two scores.
One went 6 yards to John Cord
yack. and the second, in the waning
minutes of the game and with
Florida leading. II to 7. sailed Is
yards, straight as a bullet, into the
arms of Mearle DuVall, who ran 80
yards for the score that broke up
the ball game.
Citadel Has Able Pair.
Diminutive Salwato's kicking
against Furman pulled the Cadets
out of many a deep hole, and, in
addition, he set up both his teams
touchdowns. The first followed his
l7-yard pass to Andy Victor, an
other scintillating soph, and his runs
for is and Is yards to the Furman
1-yard line.
For the second, he dashed SO yards
of tackle to the Furman 6, then
added 8. r.'.~-
