The London Star throws discretion and re.
straint to the wind. Without equivocation it
declares Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain have
issued a give in or die ultirnatum to Ger.
many.
The Star may know what it is talking about
or it may be only specializing. That is i'm
material now. What ought to stir everybody
to doh his hat to this London newspaper is
that it has the courage to speak out, and to
paraphrase Farragut Damn the censors -
So much for the Star. Now for the ulti-
rnatum. If it has been in fact issued what
group in Germany is prepared to act upon it?
There are three, any one. of which could do
so-the army, the party. the gestapo. But
which OF them could give UP without at the
same time signing it's own death warrant?
And which of the others would accept this
surrender as binding upon =? Each is knitting
the other behind its back on all occasions
and at every opportunity. Is it reasonable to
think that they could mutually agree to quit
ing in their records to suggest it,
The ultimatun, if it has been sent, is, in
the last analysis, grand gesture But the
only way to get Germany out of the war is
to knock it out-army party, gestapo all to-
gether. As long as they cannot stand together
they certainly must hang together as Frank
lin said OF another people.
The chief value Of such an ultimatum, we
,bink, would be TO snow al Germans that
their enemies are determined not only to en-
tertain no suggestions for negotiated peace,
but also to crumb]e their fortress and beat
thsrs down as Joshua did the foe at Jericho.

terms of the Allies make it likely
that we are in for a very long
war in the Pacific. Japan I'M
doubtedly will light until helpless
rather than to accept those terms.
They mean her disappearance as
a world power.
Japan would be reduced to the
status of a small island country,
stripped of all empire and there
fore of all materials necessary for
war industry. Japan woul d be
back, territorially. as Commodore
Perry found it. All acquisitions,
beginning with Formosa, w i c h
was taken from the Chinese so
years ago, would be stripped away.
These are pledges which the AL
lies have made to each other. AS
nearly as it is possible to do so,
the Allies have pronounced SEN
tence of death on the Japanese
empire and have decreed the in
ternational equivalent OF solitary
confinement on this malicious race
which has INDUCED in every kind
of international crime to advance
its material ambitions.
But the sentence is easier pro-
nOunced than executed. You have
only to read the dispatches telling
Of the bloody landing at Tarawa.
Admiral Nimitz, after inspecting
the CHASTITY scenes, says he is
afraid the American people are
rot sufficiently impressed with the
toughness of the battle for Tarawa
because it was over in three days.
Admiral Nimitz might have said
more. He might have said that
we are not by any means aware
OF the long fight that lies ahead
TO defeat Japan Study of the Pa
cific map is the most discouragin
armchair occupation I know.
Geography is cur great foe. Our
Navy is far superior to Japan's
now, and we are building at
rate which permits us to 90 into
the heaviest kind of war of at
triton with certainty of victory in
the end. If we lose ship for ship
with the Japs, they can't win, be-
cause one day heir ships are all
gone and we are still there.
But the Japanese show no signs
Of coming out to Fighter that
very reason. They probably will
pull their fleet back and back as
necessary and keep it under cover
O; land-based aircraft. Much as
our Navy would welcome a full
dress battle between the two fleets,
it is not likely to occur-not at
least until we have driven through
to the very gates of the Japanese
homeland.
In the air, we are building some
5000 planes a month. Certainly,
VIXEN Germany is defeated, we can
expect =. to have Japan completely
outnumbered in the air. We can
lose plane for plane and japan is
sure to be driven out of the air.
But we are a long ways from
WneIe we Can set our planes to
hit at the vitals of Japan. We are
fighting far out on the fringes of
Japan.
To reach Japan from the Chinese
side we must retake Burma and
drive the Japanese out of most
of China. To reach Japan from
the south we must retake whole
series OF strong defenses. because
the Philippines, Malaga, and other
japanese holdings lie between us

Boxer Lou Nova
In Short Order

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-UP)-Lee
Savold, the Blond Punch-Master
from Paterson, N. j., today kept
one of the prize rings great winning
streaks intact and sought ways to
prolong it.
Savold scored his fourth consecu-
tive knockout victory last night at
Wrigley field when he flattend Lou
Nova of Van Nuys, Cal, in one
minute and 40 seconds of the second
round.
A crowd of 1858 fans paid a
gross of $45,959.63 to see Savold
add to a winning streak that prev
iously included Nate Bolden of Chi
cago and Lem Franklin of Cleve-
land, twice.
The end of the battle came with
startling suddenness m midway
through the second round. After
taking the worst of an exchange
early in the round, Savold pinned
Nova on the ropes in Lees corner.
He smashed left hook to the
stomach that caused the Californian
to gasp audibly and then hammered
a right directly under the heart.
When stung by the blow under
the heart, Nava spun halfway
around and then fell face down on
the canvas. He twitched as the
count reached seven, but couldn t
make even an attempt to struggle
to his feet. He remained flattened
several seconds after referee Tommy
Gilmore finished the count.

NEW YORK, Aug. l0.-tUP)-
RoWdy Richard Bartell, the little
Holler Guy of the infield, was ap-
preaching two Major league mile
stones today as his steady perform
ance remained one of the few bright
spots in the Dolorous basement life
of the New York Giants.
Dick is the lightweight who in re-
cent years has been signed annually
as a utility infielder. or accident
insurance, and yet always winds up
playing more games than the reg
ulars. now, after II years on the big
apple, Bartell undoubtedly will play
his 2000th ball game and take his
3.O00th base this season.
The only active players who have
passed the 2,000-game mark are
Paul Waner, Joe Cronin and Mel
OFT. so it's a select class into which
Bartell will move. That trio and
Ducky MedWick are the only active
players to have passed the 5000
base point. and Dick needs but 36
bases to join them in this category.
Rowdy Richard will be SO on
Thanksgiving day, but he keeps
rolling along like OF man river. He
has thumped the ball at 298 clip
in 70 of the Giants 100 games this
summer for 70 safeties to become
the fifth active player in the Majors
in total hits and runs scored.

BorteII Neurs I
Great MiIestoneS

Bartell served long years with the
Phils, Giants and Cubs before 60
ing to the Tigers When Detroit re-
leased him in May. 1941, it was be-
lieved that Dick had reached the
end of the trail as regular. But
the Giants took him on as utility
man and for the past three years
he has seen almost as much action
as anyone on the squad.
The principal reasons for Bartells
ability to stay on the varsity are
his love of the game and his fight
ing spirit. Off the field, he is
quiet and almost shy. But wrap
him in that monkey suit and you've
got a raucous, belligerent, spike
shod dervish who is equally ready
for fight or frolic.
He's a pugnacious pepperpot with
strident voice that can be heard
all over the park and, despite his
small stature, he never has cared
how big they came. There was, for
instance, that opening day at the
polo grounds several years ago when
Burley Van Lingle Mungo, 200
FOUNDER, was serving them up for
the Dodgers. Mrngo was dusting
him off so Bartell laid bunt down
the first base line and, when Mungo
covered the ball. they collided
BarteIl came up swinging-as was
and is his habit.

MANY RECORDS
MAY FALL TO
YOUNG STAR
BY DAN MCGUIRE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-UP)
If Blonde. StatueSque Ann Curtiss
wins the National 100, 200, 400 and
800 meter swimming titles at IN
dianapolis starting Aug. 81 if may
surprise her, but it won't come as
shock to Swarthy Charley Sava,
coach of the 17-year-old San Fran
cisco sensation.
The world has never seen a girl
swimmer as good as Ann" declares
Saya. She swims with better form
than Helene Madison, she is just
starting to develop, and she has all
the physical qualities to be the
greatest of all champions"
Sava, Veteran Mentor at the
City's Crystal plunge pool, delivered
himself of this sweeping statement
before Ann carved almost six sec
onds off the American 440 record
last Sunday, covering the distance
in 5:25-without a semblance of the
competition her coach had hoped
for.
Before the race Sava said he
hoped for 5 80 quarter-mile, nine
tenths of a second faster than the
seven-year-old record held by Mary
Elizabeth Ryan.
Ann, whose figure could get her
job as a Powers model, churned
the first 100 yards in 1:04 and was
timed in 2:21 for 200, seven seconds
ahead of the schedule she and
Sava had mapped out. After that
she practically coasted. Il wasn't
tired" she said. II knew I was far
ahead. I could family hear lot
of people yelling that I was crack
ing the record but I didn't think I
was that much under it."
Ann, a homegrown product, hit
the national spotlight at the far
Western championships last month
when she set new American marks
for the 100 and 900.
She likes the distances races best
rather strange phenomenon for
a feminine star, for they require
rigorous training under the critical
eyes of slave-driving coaches like
Sava.
But Ann still thinks Sava is the
greatest teacher in the country.
Maybe if I do pretty well at
indianapolis, Charley will get the
recognition he deserves" she said.
Ann has done most of her record
breaking in saltwater tanks at
Indianapolis she'll be competing in
a fresh-water pool, but Sava be-
lieves this won't hamper her form.
She works out over three hours
every day. In the morning, with
Saya barking instructions from the
sidelines, she concentrates on dis
tance, then goes after speed in the
afternoon session.
Il believe Ann can become the
first woman to swim under 60 sec
onds for 100 years." Sava declared.
"Record-breaking is only a question
of setting your sights lower and do
ing the necessary work. I don't
think Miss Madison's secords are

FLYERS NEARING
CHAMPIONSHIP
IN LOCAL LOOP

AS they neared the end of the
Ell Centre league softball season
with chances excellent that they
would cop the championship the
Marine Flyers announced games
with two outside teams Tuesday
that should give diamond fans
something to talk about.
Friday night the Marines will
take on the fast-stepping Holtville
Vany aggregation and week from
Friday they will entertain the Rohr
Aircraft Company team OF Chula

EXCITEMENT LOOMS
While both games should provide
some excellent entertainment for
fans the Chula Vista club should
dish out the most excitement on
the Ell Centro diamond.
The Rohr boys took the measure
of the Marines by an 80 count last
Sunday. Although the Marines
were playing without the services
of several of the ace performers
they found plenty OF otner reasons
to fear the strong aircraft workers
aggregation. Chet Gordon, crack
Rhor hurler, tossed no-hit ball for
the Chula Vistans Sunday.
The Marines, meanwhile, were
nearing the softball title and the
championship depended on the out
come of game between the Acme
club and the General Petroleum
team.
The Marines hammered out a
1910 victory over the Telephone
team Monday night in a game
marked by squabbles and rift.

that several Phone Company play
