 Apparent
Japanese Ship Is Loading Cast Scrap at 1alomd for
 Shipment 10 Nippon

TACOMA Wash, Jan. 3-It is re- ported the Japanese steamer Tosei Maru is loading 86 carloads of cast scrap here, apparently defying the Presidential proclamation forbidding export of scrap iron to Japan.
 Loophole in the U. s. embargo is the fact that the big shipments of scrap metal has been melted into "billets' casting which are both easier to handle and simultaneously circumvent the ban on export of bulk raw scrap metal.
 It was anticipated that scope of the State Departments embargo would be enlarged to prevent in- vasion of the rules intention, and secrecy has surrounded the ToSci Maru and her cargo.
 The vessel is the first Japanese carrier in several years for which publicity has been summed, and in- formation as to her movements, cargo and itinerary has been for bidden to the public.
 The shipment originated at the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company of Minnequa, Colo, and came here by train.

 Are Destroyed

 The assault this afternoon was the first in broad daylight. The previous attacks. all in the past two days, nave been at night.
 The closest the officials can come to naming the nationality of the planes is that one incendiary bomb was landed by German green silk parachute.

Pretty Good indication
Of How They Stond

This line is a pretty good indica-
ton of the way the ball clubs stand
for 1941. You may disagree about
the relative merits of Cleveland and
New York in the American League,
but certainly those are the two best
looking teams at present and the
ones that belong on top.
Boston is a fair long shot in the
doctors book, but the chance of the
Red Sox is by no means better than
to 1. The st. Louis Browns justly
are rated a threat for fifth place.
In the National League they have
a three-club race Cincinnati,
Brooklyn and st. Louis-and that is
the way DR.. CAROLS figures run.
On the whole, a sound estimate.
The prices are short, sure, but show
me the betting man whose odds are
not short.
In fact. show me betting man.
These fellows have taken to cover
with a vengeance, and you won't
beat them out till April Is, the OPEN

AUGUSTA, Ga, April II (N.AN
AO.-There are two games in this
country that blend above all Others.
They are baseball and golf.
This works two ways. Most of
the ballplayers I know want a shot

of the golfers want to talk about
pennant races and ballplayers in
general. They are among the most
raoid fans.
I've come recently from a long

wanted to know whether such long
hitters as Jimmy Thomson, Sammy
Snead, Craig Wood and Ben Hogan
could hit a golf ball farther than
some of their slugging golfers.
They refused to believe it when
I said such golfers could pass any
ballplayer by at least 25 or 80 yards.
