Will Trial of the War Criminals Be
Aftermath of Unconditional Surrender?
They Didn't Hang Kaiser
In 1918, but Will Adolf
Be as Lucky?
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.


IT UNCONDITIONAL sur
render" is the watch
word Of the Allies and,
after that has been brought
about, the Axis leaders who
plunged the world into war will
be placed upon trial for the
crimes against humanity which
they and their followers have
committed.
Such is the promise of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill and it is not like
ly that there will be any objec-
ton to that program from Jo-
seph Stain and Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek. Certainly if
the people of Poland, France,
Belgium, Holland, Norway,
Denmark, Greece and Czecho-
Slovakia have anything to say
about it, Hitler, Mussolini, Hiro-
hito and their fellow interna-
tional gangsters will not escape
punishment as did Kaiser Will
helm a quarter of century
ago.
Back in 1918 chang the kaiser"
was a popular slogan in the Allied
countries even after the German
monarch had abdicated and found
refuge in Holland. That slogan
helped continue Prime Minister
Lloyd George in power in the British
elections of November, 1918, and that
the promise in it might be made
good was indicated by Article 227 of
the Treaty of Versailles, which was
signed a few months later. The
article said:
The Allied and Associated
Powers publicly arraign Will
helm II of Hohenzollern, former
ly German emperor, for su-
preme offenses against interna-
tional morality and the sanctity
of treaties. The Allied and
Associated Powers will address
request to the government Of
the Netherlands for the surren-
der to them of the ex-emperor
in order that he may be put on
trial.
Accordingly it was proposed that
tribunal, consisting of five judges,
one each from the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan, should be organized to serve
as a court of justice for the arch
criminal, and in January, 1920, a
formal demand was made upon Hol-
land for his surrender. But imme-
diately the plan struck a snag. For
the Dutch government announced
that it was not signatory to the
Versailles treaty, therefore not
bound by its terms and, moreover,
its national honor forbade the sur
render of the royal refugee.
Expressing the fear that the kai-
ser might flee from Holland, the
Allied governments repeated their
demand. But Queen Wilhelmina and
her ministers announced that this
fear was groundless since by royal
decree the kaiser would be restrict
ed to a certain section of Utrecht
and forbidden to leave it. Warning
the Dutch government that "the re-
sponsibility is now that of the Meth
erlands," the Allies left the matter
there and so the Prussian war-lord
retired to his wood-chopping at
Doom where he lived to see an
Austrian house-painter revive his old
dream of world-domination and Ger
man aggression plunge the world
into another holocaust.

Thirty-fourth of a series By HARRY CRIMSON
 NEA Sports Editor

There were times early in his career when William E. Donovan experienced difficulty locating the plate, but Wild Bill had things un- der control pitching Detroit to suc- cessive pennants in 1907-08-09.
 Donovan was a formful right handler with blazing speed and an o-faShioned side-arm inshoot and quick out-drop.
 In later years, as manager of the Yankees. PhillieS and minor league clubs, Wild Bill liked to talk of pitching, pointed out that the trouble with most hurlers was that they could not curve the ball.
 "They have a freak delivery of some kind, but they do not take the trouble and pains to master a real curve" he would stress, add ing that the good curve ball pitch CT was as successful as ever. He could not understand the neglect of the curve.
 Donovan was a good looking man with a contagious smile. He was one of the best liked players of the game, enjoyed the same popularity as a manager. A trim fellow who did not run to excess weight, he stood six feet one, came in at 1855 pounds.
 Wild Bill broke into the big show with the Washington Nationals

JESSUP, DUDLEY
 HEAD MEDIOCRE
 ME- RING SLATE
By JACK FROST United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

NOnittu fTcSS StdH COTTtSpUhuchp
 Boston, July 6 - U.PD - New England boxing makes up in quan- tity what it lacks in quality this week with six bouts scheduled dur ing the next four days.
 Perhaps the best show on a pret- ty mediocre schedule is the TO- round battle outdoors at the Cres- cent Kennel Club in West Spring field tongiht when solid-sending Tommy Jessup of Springfield re- turns to action after a three-week layoff and meets Dangerous John- ny Dudley of Detroit.
 Jessup, who piled up sensa- tional record during the past 18 months, hasn't really been right since was knocked out in 60 sec- onds two months ago by Henry Armstrong. He's had a bad right arm which is improving slowly and which forced him to cancel sched- uled match two weeks ago with Charlie Dixie) Davis of Dawson, Ga.
 Dudley moved in from the middle west as a substitute and halted Davis with ease. So Jessup was watched with the winner. Weather forced postponement of the bout last night.
 Martin Favored
 Perhaps next in importance is the 10-rounder at Boston Garden Fri day when New England welter- weight champion Georgia Martin tries to step up class and halt Larry Pacino of Roxbury.
 Martin, now in the U. s. Navy, will be giving away seven to 10 pounds in the battle but still is slightly favored
 Martins principal accomplish ment seems to be beating Ralph (Ripper) Zannelli of Providence, R. l., who fought and lost last week to Ray (Sugar Robinson. Martin has decisioned Zannelli five times to date.
 AS usual, there will be fights at New Bedford tonight, at Woon- socket, R. l., tomorrow, at Fall River Thursday and in Worcester, Friday.
 Fans who are especially inter- ested in main bouts will have to see all of the fights. But those who like the preliminary battles can prob ably take in any of these shows and see most of the same boxers in ac- tion since the performers seem to reappear continually.
 During the past two weeks in those four cities for example, George Mckinney of Providence, R. l., Nal SmallWood of Boston, and StoneWall Jackson of Lynn were pretty consistent performers. Small wood showed three times in three days and five times in two weeks.

 Naugy came up with winning pitcher. Earl Branch who has worn New York Yankee uniform is now with the U. s. Coast Guard at New London. Middlebury planned to pro- test his use on a technicality re- garding his residence" in Connec- ticut; but it is believed the squaWk will never be filed officially.
 Fine Pitching
 Ray Decker and Grabeck put on a sizzling mound duel in the Hills Avigs game, each alloWin gbut three hits, but Decker tossed a home run ball to Romeo. Neither pitcher is- sued a base on balls, a remarkable feat in itself over nine inning game.
 Washington Hills and Naugatuck Highlanders is the game next Sun day that may draw 5000 fans, given good weather.
 Naugatuck got two hits for every one by Middlebury, 16 hit total allowing them to double the score; Painter, Naugy centerfielder, having big day at the bat with A for 4" three singles and triple.

Big-Time Service Loop Gains Momentum Daily
 All Over United States

What do you think about forming a Big League, composed of all the branches of the Allied Armed Forces? This is the question which is being thrust forth both to the boys in the service and to sports writers and sports enthusiasts all over the nation. And now we sports writers feel that we should pass this ever important question on to the public for your final verdict on this subject.
 Just think what it would mean to you if you were in branch of the armed forces and were par ticipating in that great national pastime, baseball; and someone said to you we are going to play big league ball. What would be the probable action to a statement of this type? Well if I were in a branch of the armed forces and this was popped on me my morale would shoot up like thermometer on hot summer day.
 Try to imagine the array of great stars the combined Army and Navy, Marines and the air force could place on the field in competition with each other. Think of the crowds which would pack the sta- diumS to witness such an array. The costs of such an undertaking and perhaps a goodly profit could be realized by the armed forces toward the winning of the war. This mak- ing it profitable for all concerned.
 Of course all we sports writers feel and have voted in favor of such plan, but from here in it is up to you. So write in to me and let us hear your opinion, on which the success or failure of this plan de- pends so highly Several of the best opinions will be chosen and publish ed, and those published will be sent to the Athletic Division of the War Department.
 Send all opinions to Win Maloney in care of sports department, Wa terbury Democrat. With your name and address. No names will be published if stated to, that effect

Mire than little time was need ed to force the Washington Hills, winners of seven straight games in the City Amateur baseball league, meet with defeat, but hen the trick was turned, it was wel]-do indeed. Teddy Grabeck, the "hard luck" pitcher of the local loop who drops heart breaker" about every third time he pitches, won three hit pitching duel by the shutout route, 20 over the club that has swept all league opposition before it until Sunday, and still leads the loop with 7-1 standing.
 Naugatuck Highlanders and the Aviglanese, featuring Grabeck both winners Sunday earned a split for second place in the standing; as Middlebury dropped an 8-4 decision to Naugatuck.

in '12 and Robert Moses Grove of the Athletics in '31.
 Donovan pitched many games that are still discussed, but one that stands out is the Thinning, 10-10 tie with the Athletics at Philadelphia's old Columbia Avenue Park in Sep tember, '07, in which the Tigers staged a comeback which inspired them to go on to the pennant when it appeared that they were almost hopelesly out of it.
 Had not Donovan resided in Philadelphia, where he was a magnetic attraction, Hughie Jen- nings undoubtedly would have had him out of that one, for he was no mystery for seven rounds, the home guard sporting a 9 to 3 lead when the Tigers scored four runs. Then in the ninth, Wohoo Sam Craw- ford doubled and Tyrus Raymond Cobb manufactured a home run to knot the count.
 Both sides scored in the 4th, but the As niched Donovan for no more than two or three hits once he settled down, and as Connie Mack used up Dygert, Rube Waddell and Eddie Plank.
 The As and Tigers were bitter rivals, and clean sweep in Phil adelphia, where the Detroits opened their final eastern swing, would put them smack dab on the Mackian heels. Defeat would practically mean elimination.
 KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
 The first game went to the Ti- gers, 5-4, and their uphill fight behind Donovan started the team on rampage in which they bag ged II of 13 on the road to cor the bunting.
 In '00, it was Donovan who was sent in to beat the White SoX ir Chicago and grab the gonfalon or the final day of the famous three way race Detroit lost the first two games, but Wild Bill beat DoC White, Smith and Big Ed Walsh 5-1. Donovan had little luck ir World Series, lost four out of five was twice shut out.
 Donovan was killed in December 1923 in the wreck of the Twentieth Century Limited near Erie, Pa., en- route to the major league meetings where he was to represent the New Haven club.
 Wild Bill Donovan died with his boots on.
 That is the way he would have liked to go.

Sports Flashes From Hh. Here, Tn There and Everywhere:

Via the grapevine your reporter has been informed that John "Jazzy" Naccunas that five foot eleven inch blond Lombshell, who has been seen recently sporting a $40 suit and pair of SIP shoes, will report to Hartford tomorrow for his physical checkup, previous to his be- ing drafted by the Army.
 "Jazzy' as you might well know by nows is the pride of St. Joseph's parish" after making a name for himself in the past season as cap- tain of Wilby basketball squad. And up to now he has made his debut as a pitcher for the Hill Juniors and as ace hurler of the Wilby Wild cats. The sporting scene down Brooklyn way will certainly miss this energetic young native son, Jazzy Naccunas.
 From the same little birdie" we hear that Wally "Whitey" Valunas popular basketball captain during the past season at Tech, is learn ing all the new ropes in the Navy.
 A left handed softball team, tha would have been an oddity wouldn't especially if their coach was also a southpaW. Well, the men of the Army Air Force at Sheppard Field, Tex. under the able direction of Coach Sgt. Bunny Levitt boast the only all left-handed soft-ball team in the United States or as a mat ter of fact in the whole world.
 An oddity that really can be called an oddity can be found at Camp Custer, Mich, where the Army men and officers who go there for recrea- tion, have the use of bowling alleys which use range finders. In other words the alleys have range find- CTS similar to those on planes. in order to hit the pins accurately the man has to operate the finder cor rectly. We "Civ's" take our hats off to the Army for adopting such an ingenious device.
 After this war is over it is very probable that all of the major league ball teams will travel by air. This being started now by some of the Army Air Forces crack ball clubs, as experience.
 The Silver Stars A. c. having won 12 games and lost 3 after defeat ing the Washington Hill Amateur league champs last week by a score of 8 to ', will try to take on a strong Yale freshmen team. The ar- engagements for this home to home series are "on the fire now" and final dates will be announced later.
 In the meantime the Silver Stars would like to take on any team in the city in a home to home series. Industrial league hard ball teams, amateur leaguers, or junior loop teams.
