day and defeated the Detroit Ii
gers and the leagues best pitcher,
Dizzy Trout, to 1.
After Detroit scored its run in
the first inning on singles by Ro-
ger Cramer and Eddie Mayo, and
long fly by Rudy York, the
Browns took the lead in their ini-
tial time at bat.

full game for his 18th victory. He
allowed seven singles, struck out
four, walked no one, and held
York and Dick Wakefield hitless.
1t was his first success since beat
ing the Yankees Aug. IL.
Detroit's only threat in the Late
innings came in the eighth when
Hoover and Trout led off with sim
giles and later advanced to second
and third on a wild pitch, but
Kramer bore down and retired
the top third of the batting order
in succession.
Trout won the first game of the
series in a relief role, but has
failed to win in starting role in

game marked by an alteration
between Manager Jim Dykes OF

words passed between the two
when the hurler returned to the
bench from the mound after the
fourth inning, when the Indians
took 20 lead on Lou Boudreau's
scratch single and Roy Cullen
Zines triple.
Questioned later as to Dietrich's
withdrawal, Dykes said: Didn't
you fellows see the first four in

lour his and gave two walks dur
ing that term on the mound.

 GETTING UNDERWAY

LONDON The Germans today announced their evacuation of Star ava, their mightiest base between Leningrad and Smolensk.

SOUTHEAST FUR
 SEASON ONE OF
 BIGGEST IN YEARS

Trapping season proved to be one of the most successful in many years in Southeast Alaska. Buyers here estimate that more than S50,000 in mink was brought into Wrangell alone. Huge takes were reported from Ketchikan, Petersburg and otther points. One trapper in the ketehikan area was reported to have taken more than S5,O0O in belts. Average in this locality. was well over S1,OOO per trapper, ac- cording to estimated reports.
 The mild winter was responsible for the trappers hitting the jack pot With little ice and snow to contend with, and the fur plenti- fu1, most trappers were in the mon ey.
 Fur officials said when all re- ports were in, the 1914 season in the Southeast probably would prove to be the largest in fur take in modern years.

NEW YORK - The Tokyo radio station today said powerful mech anized units as well as air power are being used in the American at- tack on Truk and fighting with our troops is now going on" The broadcast added this present attack by the enemy is not the real thing and doesn't seem to go beyond the scope of a strong reconnaissance.
 The broadcast, given out by Do mel, official news agency of the Japanese government and picked up here by the U. S. Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service continued "the main force of our invincible navy is biding it's time until the very end and coOrdinating its plans with the supply difficulties of our enemy that increase in proportion with the distance of their advance. The Jap anese navy is now looking for it's golden opportunity to destroy the enemy in one stroke"
 NEG quoted Tokyo as saying Japanese Army and Navy units are now engaged in fierce fighting with American concentrations on Truk."
 There was no explanation of what Tokyo meant by mechanical fore es' engaged in the fight as nothing from any other source has given support to the implication that Am erican ground forces might have attempted a landing.

 On Truk
By Associated Press


 Admiral Nimitz, supreme Commander of the mid Pacif- ic forces, was without details himself on the Truk raid which not only demonstrated the tightness of radio silence con- corning the operation, but also indicated that the attack had not yet ended. The meager com munique did not make clear whether warships which natur- ally accompany airplane car riers. had taken part in the actual bombardment of the is- land. It was known that the carriers had approached to within 100 miles of Truk to release their planes.
