Of course, nothing like 10000 German planes and 26.500 British planes will clash in the air war at any one time Tn the first place, many of these ships are trainers. Others are transports. Still others are obsolete or obsclescent and are used exclusively behind the lines. The truth is. both the British and Germans consider their front line fighting forces to be equal to about one-sixth of total numerical air strength. That means total air war would send air forces of 6.600 German planes and .4.400 British planes against each other
 But not all Of these would clash at once, either
 That's because the air traffic problem would be greater than either of these major air powers could handle. Planes today are dispatched and maneuvered by radio telephones and beam sig nals as well as by the usual in-

Hubby" kimme| Surely Upsefs Home Town Dope
 But Makes Mark in Navy
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Down at Henderson, Ky, they call him Hubby y"-"Hubby' Kimmel
 Of course they expected him ,o make some kind of mark for himself The Husbands and the Kimmels were in the habit of doing that in the Army The trait dated back to the revolution.
 But Hubby muffed his valedic- torian speech when he was grad uated from high school. He is the smallest of the Kimmels. too, bit on the dumpy side compared to the rest.
 Today, short spoken H u b b y Kimmel is the new Admiral of all three of Uncle Sam's fleets. es- pecially the real one out in the Pacific He has given all the Illus bands and Kimmels something to shoot at.
 Down Henderson way, they tell me, folks are remembering things about him that pointed the way to his later success in the Navy things they hardly noticed when Hubby was kid
 For instance. he got hold of some engineering instruments and surveyed farm from Outhouse to creek bank while he was still in high school.
 Tt was correct, too" says Sing teton. Hubby's brother, who still holds forth at the old family homestead
 They will tell you Hubby de- nies that he forgot that high school speech. After the diplomas were given out and the family had gone home, "Hubby's" father took him to task for not shining more brightly ITO think" he snorted, that a Kimmel would forget his speech!'
 Heck" he lad exploded, T didn't forget a word of it. I just talked so fast that I ran out of breath WAS LONGING FOR ACTION
 The last time he was home in Henderson. he confided to his brother that he was restive chained to a desk job in Washington
 "Hells fire" said the Admiral, If they don't order me. out, I'll get on some Admirals staff and go to sea anyway!"
 Admiral Kimmell first met his Commander-in-c chief. Franklin Roo Sevelt. in 1916, when Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy Kimmel was Roosevelts personal aide for a while, and they've been friends ever since.
 The Admiral is still silent Hub by Kimmel, even to his own inn mediate family. In her apartment here in Washington. Mrs. Kimmel makes no bones about it. Why" she says, .'one day his photograph in dress uniform was delivered here. I noticed he wore two medals. That was the first ]

GERMAN BRITISH AIR POWER RATIOIS GIVEN
 OUT AS ABOUT { TO 4
Ky MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb 20. The ratio of numerical air strength be- tween Germany and Great Britain on the eve of the expected climac- tic battle probably stands at about to 4.
 That's the consensus in reliable military circles here after careful surveys of production rates and re- serves from usually creditable sources.
 Total planes now available to the Germans probably number about 40, 900 This figure comes from both American and British experts, both working with different sourc- es of information and different sets of production figures.
 The British give no estimates of their own numerical strength, but American experts figure they have about 26.5O0 planes.
 Unfortunately the nu CT c a l strength of the two nations does not reflect the ratio of real air power between them. One of the highest authorities on air power in the United States says the Ger mans have to advantage over the British.
 This estimate is reached by add ing or subtracting, as the case may be- as many factors of pro- duction. performance and geog- raphy as airmen can get their hands on.
 For instance, it considers the fact that the Germans have estab- lished efficient bases on three sides of the British Isles-Nor- way, the Channel, and the French Atlantic coast opposite Ireland. It subtracts, the great German losses of last September, weighs in the superior individual performance of English airmen Also accounted for is the British accent on fighter defense. German accent on bomber attack

Trip|eH's Hot Hitting
Has New Orleans
Fans Going Wild
By the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, July 3-Maybe
all the players in the Southern Asso-
citation all-star game in Atlanta next
Monday will be stars, but all the
leagues stars won't be there.
Specifically, there's Hooper Trip
lett, New Orleans left fielder.
Hooper has been around the cir
cult only about seven weeks, so he
couldn't be chosen.
New Orleans fans haven't often
had a hitter to cheer about. Now
they have Triplett. Last night at
Chattanooga he smacked two
doubles of his teams four hits.
He joined the club May 10 and, in
ITS times at bat has made 81 hits
for 1854 average. The 36 runs he
has knocked in have turned the tide
in several victories.
Hooper began his professional
career with Shelby, in the North
Carolina (now Tar HeeD League in
1887, the year his big brother Coaker
led the Southern Association hitters
with 1856 average for Memphis.
Coaker now is with the st. Louis
Cardinals.

that as an excuse. I guess his busi-

a home"
Mrs. Louis, "a, asked restoration
of her maiden name and temporary
alimony. Informed of the suit, Louis
appeared stunned. denied striking
his wife, but said he would not con-

He said they had had differences
arising over her insistence that she

Mrs. Louis, slender and S feet Al

New Record Expected
In Takoma 10-MiIe
Race Tomorrow
Heinicke, 1910 Victor;
Sullivan Pinned to
Restoee Great Duel

Last years thrilling photo-flnlsh
in the annual D. c. Recreation De-
partment-Ta -Takoma Citizens Associ-
alton 10-mile race may be repeated
tomorrow if defending champion
Don Heinicke and runnerup Joe
Sullivan approach the form they eX-
hibited in that epic duel.
The finish of that gruelling strug-
gle will not soon be forgotten. 1t was
one of those rare climaxes that oc-
cur only once in a lifetime with a
scant yard separating the perspira-
tion-drenched hooters as they
pounded over the finish line. Helm
icke, running under Baltimore's
Stonewall Democratic Club colors,
combined an early lead with a stout
finishing kick to stave off Sullivan's
belated rally, but he needed every
ounce of stamina, every bit of speed
he could summon up to take the
laurelS.
New Record Predicted.
Don was clocked in Sc minutes 8
seconds and his stout hearted rival
from the Shanahan Club, Philadel-
phia, was only fraction of sec
ond slower. Tomorrow's race should
be faster, unless the heat takes too
much out of the boys, but it couldn't
be any closer.
Last years triumph was the lean
limbed Baltimorean's second straight
in the holiday hike and he has
trained faithfully in hope of hang
ing up a new record for the event.
But word from Philadelphia indi-
Gates he'll have to show a fancy
brand of picking 'em up and laying
'em down to beat the Irishman, for
Sullivan is cocksure after getting the
lay of the course and sample of
Washington's July weather.
A -spangled field will face the
starters gun and Dick Tennyson,
handling entries and making general
arrangements for the affair, pre-
diets a new record. The Al field
shapes up as one of the finest since
the race was inaugurated several
years ago.
Lynch in Field Again.
Washington will be well represent
ed by a dozen or more marathoners,
including old Mike Lynch, the tire
less campaigner, who sprang a major
upset a couple of years back, by
beating a squad Of younger rivals
to the wire for the District cham
pionship. This title automatically
goes to the Washington runner first
across the finish line.
The Evening Star Trophy, a new
award for the individual champion,
will be placed In competition with
this race. It must be won three
times for permanent possession.

Washington manufactured four
runs in a hectic fifth inning, fea-
tured by George Cases first homer
of the season, and appeared headed
for an easy triumph as Zuber dis
trib,,tad op1v three SINGLES over that
span. The AS nailed Bill for two
runs in the sixth, however, and
whitfield the Mats margin to 6-3
in the eighth.
The Mats and AS both collected
IA hits in a game played almost
entirely in light rain and semi
darkness. Washington was to loaf
here today, but will journey to Bos-
ton for a single game Saturday and
a double header on Sunday after

By BURTON HAWKINS,

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Mats
are discovering travelling is costly
It is costly to whatever modest am
bitions haven't been pounded out OF
the Washington baseball team, be-
cause when the obituary of the 1941
Mats is written it doubtless will be
scribbled that the club was wrecked
on the road.
There is nothing f1attering about
the Mats once they've been tucked
In Pullman berths and shipped TO
various points of the circuit. In the
more encouraging atmosphere OF
Griffith Stadium, the Mats nearly
have fulfilled the predictions OF
Manager Bucky Harris and Presl-
dent Clark Griffith, who felt the
Mats would perform at 500 clip
this season.
Washington has played at a .459
pace at home, but on the road the
club collapses more completely. Ihe
Mats have played some 81 games
away from home this season and
won only nine. That's an average OF
Psi and the reason the Mats are
flirting with the American League
cellar. The Mats are finding travel
merely is broadening their list OF
losses.
Badly Beaten in East.
The Mats have taken a terrific
beating in the East. Here they have
won one game and that represents
their only victory at Yankee
Stadium in more than two years. At
Philadelphia, the Mats have dropped
four tiffs and at Boston they've lost
two, without capturing a decision
In either city. Washington also has
been trounced twice here, which
presents an average of .09l for IL
Eastern road games.
At Detroit and Chicago, the Mats
have held their own, taking three OF
five from the Tigers and splitting
six games with the White Sox. AT
Cleveland and st. Louis, though, the
Mats have passed some miserable
afternoons, dropping four OF five
engagements with each of those
teams.
There is no guarantee the Mats
will improve that road record
tomorrow, when they battle the
Yankees here in a double-header,
but they're hoping they won't be
embarrassed too badly before crowd
of 77,0OO or so who will cram
Yankee Stadium to view the un-
yelling of a memorial to Lou Gherig,
the possible continuation of Joe
Di Maggio's hitting streak to At
games and the probable extension
of New York's winning string.
Sid Hudson, belted from the box
In his last start against the Yankees,

tinues to sparkle despite founder

doubles and triple yesterday
