GIANTS MAY GET
LOU NOVIKOFF
IN PLAYER DEAL
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK. May 11.-tUP)-
The Chicago Cubs open a three
game series with the New York
Giants tomorrow as part of the
western National League clubs first
invasion of the east, and these two
lowest placed clubs in the circuit
are expected to solve part of their
plight with a deal that will bring
Lou Novikoff to the Polo Grounds.
The Mad Russian has locked
horns with General Manager James
Gallagher of the Cubs in one of
baseball's most prolonged holdouts
in years and. while he has offered
to compromise with his boss, Novi-
koff announced he would much
prefer to play for any other club.
Larruping Lou. who batted an
even 300 last season while driving
home 64 runs, first asked $4,000
almost double what he received in
1912. The Cubs countered with a
raise of $500. Then Novikoff said
he would play for less than $4,000
but not that much less. Now he
is on the leagues suspended list
and must apply to President Ford
F'rick for permission to play again
even if he does come to terms.
TRADE LOOMS
Now. even though Gallagher has
issued the obvious face-saving as
sertion that Novikoff would play
for the Cubs or nobody, it would
be exceptionally poor business not
to trade Lou at this time-eSpecial-
ly since the Giants, berthed uncom-
fortably in last place and facing
their first cellar finish since 1915,
will probably offer nice bundle
of cash or give the Cubs the pick
of their roster with the exception
of Mel OFT or Billy Jurges.
The Giants, who have lost II of
II games and are just one game
worse off than the Cubs, seem to
have suffered from a general lack
of front-office activity during the
winter. While most clubs strength
ened their lineups and plugged gaps
cause by the draft, the Giants re-
manned strangely inactive. Now
they are paying the price of that
| inactivity with a team definitely
facing a slot in the second division
unless they swing deal.
The last-minute snatch of Catch
er Ernie Lombardi from the Boston
Braves has not paid off yet, for the
leagues leading batter last year is
not in condition and has failed to
get a hit in 10 tries. Remembering
this, it is exceedingly difficult for
Giants prexy. Horace Stoneham to
take a chance on Novikoff, another
acquisition who would take some
time to get in shape. But the
GiantS-whoSe true caliber was
painfully indicated in Sundays
double loss to the PhillieS-probably
will continue to lose anyhow and
thus Nocikoff might prove a good
risk.

FAST ACTON IS PR0MISED,
 10TH CENTURY
Tombstone Arrives on Screen Tonight Fedfur-
 ing Richard Dix

One of the most spectacular true stories of the old West is the basis for the new Paramount film "Tombstone-The Town Too Tough to Die"
 It's the story of Wyatt Earp, called by some the greatest gum fighting frontier marshal the West ever saw Although Earp blasted scores of badmen right out of would-be respectable frontier com munities, he himself lived to a ripe old age. He died a natural death at the age of eighty-one not so many years ago-which gives you an idea of how fast he must have been on the draw.
 Tombstone the Town Too Tough to Die" which arrives at the 20th Century Theatre tonight, picks up Earp at the most dramatic point in his career, when he and his brother Virgil were bent upon cleaning up the toughest town in the Southwest, Tombstone. Arizona. This may sound like another exeg- geration about the deeds of some legendary character, but the ex- ploits of Wyatt Earp are cold fact, backed up by coroners' and court records, Indeed, there are still men alive today who knew the crusad- ing marshal and can testify both as to the things he did and to their authenticity.
 Richard Dix is Wyatt Earp in this feature picture.
 Starring with Dix are Kent Tay- Tor and Edgar Buchanan. Tn the outstanding featured cast are beau- tiful Frances Clifford, Don Castle, Clem Bevans, Victor Jory and Rex Bell.

MOSCOW, June 2-The Ger mans have launched new counter attacks northeast of Novorossisk in an attempt to relieve their be- sieged forces stubbornly clinging to the last Nazi-held Caucasus bridgehead but every attempt has been defeated, frontline Russian dispatches state.
 Strongly attacking, the German forces made a vigorous bid to re- gain the initiative there but Rus sian infantry backed up by heavy artillery fire, threw the counter attacks back repeatedly.
 With the exception of the Kuban area fighting, the long front is relatively quiet but both forces are keyed up for another major cam paign.

This feeling Of the Granada children,

they have adjusted themselves with rel

the alien-born and older japanese, have
been reconciled that close control over
them is inevitable.

because only citizens were permitted

against the japanese enemy, q tactic
which he put into action of New Guinea
first, attack by four-motored bombers,
second, deck-strafing by the four-mo-
tored bombers after they dropped their
loads on the ships; third bombing by
medium and light bombers, which fol-
lowed up by strafing the decks and anti
aircraft batteries Of the ships; fourth,
attacks on the enemy convoy bases by
P-40s and Beauf1ghters.
The fight was spread out over course
of about IT'S miles. It ended in Huon
Bay, with the Jap ships then surviving
in sight of their destination, which they
never reached. An acute English COM
mentator, Brig. Gen. H. S. Sewell, won
ders why the Japs insisted on pushing
on after the fight began to go so badly
for them. Gen. Sewell commented:
"The loss or damage of 10000 tons Of
shipping, added to the 40 warships and
104 troop transports
Jop Losses and supply ships already
Very Heovy lost since August In at
tempts to reinforce the
garrisons in the Solomons and New
Guinea, must be a severe handicap in
the maintenance Of the new Japanese
empire, which depends to such great
extent on sea-borne transport. The
japanese claim that they seized total
of 100000 tons of Allied shipping from
the time of their entry into the war up
to May, 1912. This gain has been more
than counterbalanced by the losses in
the Solomons and OF New Guinea"
The more ships and men the Japs lose
on the fringes Of their empire, the
harder they will find it to defend the
heart of their empire. Macarthur is
going ahead with his program OF forcing
the Japs to shorten the circumference of
their empire by battering away at Lac
in order to drive them from New
Guinea. His air force severely attacked
Lac last week. The next objective after
New Guinea is New Britain, but the
battle for New Guinea is In its early
stages. A. palm tree is won and lost in
New Guinea about as quickly as
mountain IS won and lost in Tunisia OF
city is won or lost in Russia.
The present strategy Of the war
against Japan seeks little more than to
keep the Japs from going forward. The
true campaign against them is IN the
future. T7
