are tremendous tributes to the pro- motional efforts of Horace Stone ham and Larry MacPhail as well as to the patriotism of the baseball citizenry. But it must be remem- bered that these games were nat urals. Interest was buoyed by the intense rivalry between the two teams.
 But take a look down in fourth position and you will find Pitts burgh-$35, ,86439. That was a game between the Pirates and the Phila- delphia Phils. Interest was prac- tically nil. But the cause was there and some corking promotion by press and radio put the game across. It made up for the only real flop in the league at Philadelphia earlier in the season.
 Actually, the only game worthy of praise in the American League was in Chicago, and it took orders from Commissioner Landis to transfer that game from run-of-mine date to July night contest.
 Boston was certainly worth more than $13,000. And Cleveland-that great sports town, so-aclled-was actually outdrawn by St. Louis and Washington. The fact that the liberal Indian management chose to sandwich this game on Monday between a Sunday double header and night game, was tremendous ly helpful-as you can well imagine.
 The American League has three more chances Aug. 23; St. Louis at Detroit, Boston at Philadelphia and Washington at New York.
 The American League can win all the world series and all the all-star games played, but right now it's lcsing a race which over shadows any other in importance.

NewYork, Aug. 8.-When several enterprising baseball executives sug- gested last spring that the game might raise half million dollars for war funds, they were ridiculed as visionaries with commendable in- tentions but unsound mathematics.
 It is now apparent, however, that the entrepreneurs were being coldly realistic rather than expansive. The National League has completed it's eight game benefit schedule. It will contribute more than a quarter of 8 million dollars. The American League has three games scheduled for Aug. g and should be not too far behind.

Philosophers Agree
j. !. Will Withstand
Tensions Of War
Gathering Of 600 Pays
Honor to William james
On Centenary Of Birth
Ey the Associated Press.

/
MADISON, Wis, Jan. l2-Lead-
ing philosophers of America, gath
cred to observe the centenary of the
birth of William James, agreed to-
day that the Nation would with
stand the war strain. but one de-
clared that I'VE need more CUTS than
philosophy.
Six hundred philosophers and
philosophy students honored James
who contended that war has been
the only force that could discipline
a COMMUNICATIVE two-day meet
ing at the University of Wisconsin.
William James, brother of the
famous novelist Henry James, was
born January II, 1842.
American philosophical fiber will
withstand the terrific tensions of
war because the people have q great
er breadth of vision, several thinkers
declared.
DR.. F. Seelye Bixler of Harvard
University asserted that Americans
were thinking of the peace after
the war, and he agreed with DR..
Boyd H. Bode of Ohio State Uni
versity that such views were re-
pressed in the first World War as
German.
Looking Farther Ahead.
Today, said DR.. Bixler, the peace
is more important than the war it
self That is our change in philoso-
ply in "a years" he said. That is
the philosophical fiber of America
today. We're looking farther ahead,
because our background has trained
us to see more"
DR.. Max Otto, head of Wisconsin's
philosophy department. thought that
America would better hold up under
the strain because we can think of
something in the future as a more
adequate goal. Our philosophy to-
day is strong enough to win the
war, and to win the peace, too
But DR.. Dickinson S. Miller, for
merly of Columbia University, feared
that the masses would not look to
philosophy to win the war.
1--WE need more CUTS than philos-
Ophy," he asserted, and added that
philosophy will count in what mil
lions think-not particularly what
the professional philosopher or
teacher thinks.
John Dewey's Comment.
John Dewey, a leading philoso-
pher, commented in a paper on
James that I'VE do not yet have a
mature philosophy of democracy
with which to combat totalitarian
ideas. Today James both points the
way and issues challenge"
James wanted the world tempered
into a state of 'toughness without
callousness.
80 far" he preached, war has
been the only force that can disci-
pline whole community and until
an equivalent discipline is organized,
I believe that war must have its
way"

Litvinoh Sees President
After Meeting With Hull

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt conferred with
Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet Am
bassador, during a Sunday devoted
chiefly to work.
After the meeting with the Rus
sian envoy, the Chief Executive had
a talk with the newly designated
Ambassador to, Mexico, George Mes
sersmith and then called in Gen.
George c. Marshall, Army Chief Of
Staff.
There was no word as to the rea-
son for the unusual Sabbath call at

On Saturday, Ambassador Lit

Turks Reported Reassured
By Britain and Russia
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANKARA, Turkey, Jan. 10 de-
layed) Renewed assurances that
Turkey need fear no aggressive ac-
ton by Russia or Britain, but may
fully rely on the joint pledge OF as
sistance given last August, were
reported today.
They we're said to have been ten
dered to Turkish Foreign Minister
Sukru Saracoglu by the British Am
bassador, Sir Hughe Knatchbull-
Hugessen. in an hour half
conference in which the envoy re-
ported on the trip he made with
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden to Moscow.
Informed sources said Sir Hughe
brought to Foreign Minister Sara
coglu personal greetings from Mr..
Eden and Joseph Stain.
It was learned that Sir Hughe
was immensely impressed by Rus
sias reserve strength as evidenced
by the life in Moscow and other
cities behind the lines and the guam
titles Of planes, tanks and other war
material being produced.
He was said to have reported to
Mr.. Saracoglu that the people ap-
peared well-fed, warmly clothed and
confident Of victory. He is said to
have found that many young Rus
slams still have not been called to
the army.

Berlin relations, strained by increas-
ing German pressure on the Marshal
and his unyielding resistance, was
said to be Frances continued good
relations with the United States.
Growing tension among the
French people themselves is said to
be the core of the dif1lculty rather
than the attitude Of the leaders in
either capital.
This tension was pictured as aris-
ing from several factors, among
them the fact that the Germans
still hold a million French prisoners
whose absense is deeply resented by
their families, the food shortage
which is blamed on the Germans
and the strong measures Of the
Nazi occupation forces as reprisals
against Frenchmen.
Thus, Marshal Petain's resistance
is presented as merely a reflection
of the majority opinion in France.

u. S. Officials Seek to Induce
Turkey to Line Up With Allies
Ambassador Erteeun Gets Lot Of Attention
In BID for Influence in Ankuru

The Nazi envoy, Won Papen, has
been doing all he can in Ankara to
keep alive the ancient fear of the
Turks that Soviet Russia still yens
for an exit to the Mediterranean
through Constantinople.
The recent visit of Anthony Eden
to Moscow has been cleverly ex-
plotted by the Nazi trouble-shooter
who told President Ismet 1nonou
that Great Britain was preparing TO
hand Turkey over to the Soviet.
President Roosevelt's surprise
choice of Laurence Steinhardt as
new American Ambassador to An
kara is being fitted into that gen.
eral picture by Washington diplo-
mats. Mr.. Steinhardt is known to
be lukewarm to the Communist
system and it is pointed out that he
will be, for that very reason, a more
successful advocate for the Allies.
Top Officials Entertain.
In Washington Ambassador Erte-
gun is being asked to dinners by
top officials who have little time for
purely social activities Many Of
these gentlemen are unapproachable
by the average diplomat or Ameri-
can official Important o. P. NJ. Of
ficials. military intelligencers mili-
tary and navaD and Donovans have
wined and dined the Ambassador.
The Americans cite figures Of
American war potential and produc-
ton. They stress the amount of
materiel available to countries which
decide to throw in their lot with the
Allies. The Ambassador listens at
tentively without batting an eye
lash or making a comment.
After such parties the Ambas-
sador's pretty. pleasant wife COM
plains that her husbands little
hammer can be heard until the wee
small hours of the morning. The
position of a courted neutral envoy
is not an altogether enviable one.
The ultimate decision does not rest
with him though he is bound to
share the blame for it.
