McGee is potentially a winning
pitcher. He is big and strong and
has good stuff. His poor start was
attributed to lack of condition, but
Bill Terry had his fungo hitters
run him until a dozen pounds melt

Not until yesterday when the
Giants got him off in front and he
protected a 1-run lead from the
third inning on. In the last five
innings he allowed only one hit

can take a punch better than he
can, and I can hand it out al
most as hard as he can. I want to
get in there and knock him out
quick"
Then, as all interviews with
Nova are bound to do sooner or
later. the discussion got around
to the strange theories that COME
spinning out of the mind of this
strangest of heavyweight boxers
his theory about the ''cosmic punch
his idea that he has learned to
punch with gravity instead OF
against it, his supreme confidence
that no man who ever lived can hit
him hard enough to send his senses
reeling and send him TO the canvas
He talked about his theories SER

cule them until he had a chance
to test them in the heat of battle
And. so help me. as you listened
to the big buy standing there
among the punching bags and exer-
else bars you began to get hunch
that here might be the one who
could turn the trick at which SO
many others have failed

of it, tried to tell yourself that

Six. movie mayors" fought for the
honor of tossing the first ball in
the seventh annual comedians VS..
leading men baseball game, heaved
six baseballs in the general direc-
ton of home-plate last night and
started a contest the like of which
has never been seen on any dia-
mond anywhere.
A million dollars worth of talent
performed antics before a crowd of
10000 and for four mad innings
sent wave after wave of laughter
rolling against center field bill
boards.
The score? Nobody knows. The
game ended in the fourth inning
when someone pulled the main light
and the game was called on ac-
count of darkness.
1t was known that Adolphe Men
jou scored the first run after be-
ing escorted to the plate by Sec
retary. masseur, valet and double.
Leading men arrived in a coach
and four after a parade of stars
had circled the infield to accompan-
iment of brass bands and all the
glamour and finery Hollywood could
dig up for the occasion. Leading
the parade was umpire Joan Blon-
dell the comedians captain. Mar
tha Raye; Adolph Menjou; Rudy
Vallee and a host Of other celebri-
ties.
Somebody let the. comedians in
through the back gate on a hay
wagon towed by brace of plow-
horses.
The trouble started right off the
bat when Mayors" Mischa Auer,
of Universal City; Tom Keene OF
Sherman Oaks, Andy Devine OF
North Hollywood; Keye Luke of
Chinatown, Eddie (Rochester An
derson of Central Avenue and Bob
Yo'lng of Tarzana., insisted on
throwing the opening pitch. The
result was half a dozen balls pelt-
ed Catcher Ronald Reagan simul-
taneouSly.
Then it started: Red Shelton
knocked the head" off the midget
batboy, Arthur Lake had Pitcher
Edgar Kennedy in the hole with
three and nothing when Baby
Dumping and Daisy broke up the
game; Billy Gilbert got base on
balls when Pitcher Preston Foster
gave up in disgust after trying to
pitch around him; Leon Enrol hit
a home rum" and Eddie Bracken
played one inning by himself be-
cause he couldn't decide whether
he was a leading man or a comed-
ian.
Batteries for both sides changed
without warning and late in the
third inning Broderick Crawford
took off his catchers mask and hit
a home run into right field when
Charles Coburn and his rubber bat
appeared about to whiff. Tony
Quinn beat close play to first by
shooting first baseman Lee Tracy
and pumped Lead into Eddie Quill
Ian. Doodles Weaver and Vince
Barnett to score easily. Stubby
Krueger batted in a bathing suit,
Menjou and Coburn in white tie
and tails and the rest in baseball
suits dating back to the Gay Nine
ties era.

went to the Mount Sinai hospital

Britain Will Prevent Sale of
 Lease-Aend Goods

LONDON, Sept. l2 - Great Britain is gravely concerned ov- CT charges that materials obtain cd from the United States under the lcase-lend act are being us- ed in direct competition with Am erican industry's export markets.
 The British government prom ises to prevent such misuse of lease-lend goods and also to re- strict British exports.
 The British government is con cerned among other things over what its leaders called the pro- paganda value to Germany" of the charges that American in- dustry, after making sacrifices to send raw materials to Britain un- der the lease-!end act, are being hit in foreign markets by the competition of goods made from these materials.
 A White Paper issued recently is said by reliable sources to be one of series of steps planned ''to prevent Germany from using lease-lend grumbling as the thin edge of a wedge to pry Britain and the United States apart or to hamper the Allied war effort"
 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden has sent a memorandum to United States Ambassador James Winant in which the British gov ernment pledged that goods ob- tained under the lend-lease act will not be used in British ex- port trade in competition with United States exporters.
 The note delivered to the Unit ed States embassy by the British foreign office declared that all materials which Britain obtains under lend-lease act are required for the prosecution of the war Continuing, the British note said:
 "The British government has taken and will continue to take action to insure that these goods are not in any case diverted to the furtherance of private inter ests.
 "Lend-lease materials sent to Britain have not been used for export and every effort will be made to insure that they are not uesd for export"

 Welcomes Allies With Gifts

LONDON, Sept. - Additional details of the activities in the landing of British, Canadian and Norwegian troops in the Spitz- bergen archipelago in the Arctic were revealed by the British War Ministry.
 The entire population of the several islands claimed by Nor way, now dominated by Ger many, was evacuated to the Brit ish Isles, according to latest dis closures, and the resources of the island were left so as to be of no use to the Axis powers as a source of war materials.
 The joint landing party des- troyed the coal mine workings and set fire to one dump of coal containing some 150,000 tons. Wireless stations were also wrecked.
 Has Returned to Britain
 The Allied expedition which landed at the Spitzbergen islands has returned to Britain.
 Canadian officers who return ed to Britain after taking part in the expedition to the Spitzbergen islands reported that their men were disappointed that the Ger mans had not given them a fight for the islands. The expedition the capture of the is land was a pleasant job for every body.
 "As it was, instead of a hostile reception, we were met by sort of reception committee" said one Canadian soldier.
 Showered With Gifts
 After I landed with one pla- toon of my company, I could not see my men for half an hour be- cause they were surrounded by men, women and children who showered them with gifts of cig arettes and sweets.
 We could not understand much of their language until an inter- preter was found. All of our of ficers and men came away with gifts from the inhabitants. I was given a barometer. Most of the time we could not smoke our own cigarettes because the in- habitants insisted on giving us theirs, which were mostly of an make.
 Staff Sergeant Garbutt of Cal gary, Canada, said:
 We lived like kings. I wish we could have stayed there a couple of months. The hunting and fishing were fine and for breakfast we had pork chops and steak"

EXPEDITION TO STUDY FUR SEAL HERD AT SEA

Exploring the foundations of a fur business that nets the United States Government more than $200,0 year, naturalists of the Fish and Wildlife Service are or ganizing an expedition to study the migration routes and food habits of the Alaska fur seal herd that has it's breeding grounds on the Pribilof Islands in Boring Sea.
 Information received in Fair banks by Wildlife Agent Clar- ence J. Rhode states that special studies have recently been made of conditions on the Islands. Ac- cording to Service report to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, a vessel is now being equipped for use of scientists in following the herd to sea on it's fall migration.
 Protection Data
 Recommended by the Depart ment of States and authorized by a special Congressional appro- priation, the investigations have been planned to obtain addition al data needed in negotiations for international protection of the fur seals while they are at sea.
 Under the fur seal convention of 1911, it was pointed out, the killing, capturing, or pursuit of the animals at sea has been pro- hibited by the United States, Canada, Japan, and the Soviet Union. In October 1940 Japan in accordance with a provision of the convention, gave notice of its abrogation but stated that it was prepared to conclude a new agreement.
 Herd Increased
 With the protection afforded by the 1911 convention, the herd has increased from about 132,000 in 1910 to more than 100000 and Canada & Japan have shared in profits from pelts taken under Government management on the pribilof Islands. More than 5000 pelts were taken in 1940.
