Betting at Shibe Park Is Being
BottIed, Pennock Tells Lands
BY the Associated Press

bs the AseUClhteu FIesB.
PHILADELPHIA, July GA full
report Of the steps being taken to
halt gambling at Shibe Park has
been filed with Baseball Commits
sioner Kenesaw M. Lands by Herb
Pennock, general manager of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
A similar report Is believed to have
been asked of Connie Mack, now in
St. Louis, following the arrest of five
men for making bets during re-
cent Philadelphia Boston National
League game.
THE police vice squad has been
very cooperative in attempting to
break up gambling In Shibe Park.
They've gone out of their way to be
helpful, and I've told Judge Lands
So" Pennock said.
WED like to eliminate all gam
bling, for I feel that baseball Is one
sport which should be free Of such
taint," he, said.
But that is where you run into
trouble. Baseball Is a public busi-
ness, and to stamp out such an evil
you would have to question every
customer who bought a ticket to a
game"

MILWAUKEE,, July q. - Those
loyal Milwaukee baseball fans still
were wondering today if it was their
beloved Brewers who absorbed that
18-to-0 pasting last night in the
American Associations 10th All-Star
feature, witnessed by l2,004.
Their Brewers have dominated the
league since the start of the season
and one at time the other seven
clubs have been able to do so little
with them that Casey Stengel's team
leads the circuit by 10la games over
second place Louisville.
Last night the Al-Stars, an aggre-
cation selected by the leagues base
ball writer's. were the guys the
Brewers were supposed to be. The
Stars belted five Brewer pitchers for
20 hits and were led by Boris CBabe)
Martin. Toledo's muscular outfielder
who banged out two singles, two
doubles and triple in six times at
bat; Nick Polly, Louisville infelder
and Fred Walters, the Colonels
catcher. They batted in IL of the
18 runs.
The All-Star pitching matched the
slugging in effectiveness. Me,
Deutsch, husky Louisville right
handler, allowed two hits, one a
double, by Don Hendrickson, third
of the Brewer pitchers Kenny
Burkhart of Columbus, gave up two
singles in his three innings, and
Vernon Curtis, Minneapolis right

A triple-play, executed in the third
with the aid of some fuzzy base
running, chilled the Brewers only
offensive gesture. Deutsch hit Jim

Dick Cutler grounded out to Glenn
Crawford at short, and Pruett was
trapped between third and the plate.
Hendrickson was midway between
second and third when Pruett was
tagged, and he did not have chance
to get to either base safely.
Before the game, the league took
note of the 50th year in baseball of
its Oldest settler, Mike Kelley of
Minneapolis, who was presented
with a gold table service.

CHINA:
Japs Cain

Pressing their drive in southern

the country's entire eastern sea-

route Of over 1000 miles.
The Japs pushed their offensive as
U. S., British and Chinese efforts
to open up back-door into south
eastern China from India slowed in
the mountainous Burmese jungle
country. m
U. S. warplanes joined in the
valiant Chinese defense against the
Japs, who continued their favorite
tactic of driving forward on either
side of by-passed strongholds. Allied
thrusts to open back-door to China
continued even as the Chinese asked
for greater assistance to resist the
enemy.

DIPLOMACY:
Troubled Relations

Finland's refusal to lend It's ear
to U. S. approaches that it negoti-
ate a peace with Russia, and the
tiny Baltic states determination to
remain in the, war beside Germany
following promises Of military aid,
led to an open rupture of relations
with this country.
At the same time, U. S. Ambas-
sador Norman Armour was recalled
from Argentina for consultation with
state department officials, following
reported increasing Axis sentiment
In that South American country, par
ticularly since the invasion.
Meanwhile, Gen. Charles de Gaulle
was scheduled to confer with Presi-
dent Roosevelt over alterations in
the U. S. attitude toward the French
National Committee for Liberation
as the provisional government Of re-
occupied territory.

COP:
Shape Fight

Under the leadership Of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York as
its candidate for President and Gov.
John W. Bricker of Ohio as vice
president, the Republican party will
make the 1914 campaign on plat
form designed to assure strong
American market for u. S. produc-
ers.
In the field of foreign relations, the
party's LOST sweltering delegates to
the Chicago convention approved a
platform based upon U. s. coopera-
ton with other nations to preserve
world peace without impairment Of
sovereignty or self-rule and with the
consent of the senate in accordance
with constitutional provisions.
In addition to guaranteeing the
producer a protective tariff to ex-
clude cheap foreign competition, the
party agreed to the principle of es-
tablishing an "American market
price" for agriculture, and approved
crop adjustment during periods Of
abnormal SURPRISES.
Quick restoration ofaprivate bust
ness in the postwar world was prom
ised through speedy settlement of
cancelled war contracts and orderly
disposal of surplus goods. The party
also pledged lower Individual and
corporate taxation consistent with
government expenditures when con-
ditions permit.
Kno,Us answers
Surrounded by a battery of news
paper men in the grand ballroom Of
the Stevens hotel, "Tom" Dewey
gave his first press interview as the
COPS presidential candidate, show
ing a tactical skill in answering the
barrage of questions.
In reply to queries, Dewey said
future developments might make
compulsory military training neces-
sary; that congressional power to
declare war to resist aggression
would not hamper operation of a
world cooperative program to pre-
serve future peace, and U. S. ac-
QUESTION of Pacific bases would be
left to future events.
Declaring that the party sprogram
did not refer to ''high" but rather
to adequate" tariffs, Dewey said
the heart of the foreign trade plank
was conferred in the sentence calling
for u. S. cooperation in promotion
of world commerce. At first, federal
help may be required to assist in
providing full employment, Dewey
said.
"Are you satisfied with gas ra-
tioning?" someone asked.
do you know anybody who ISL"
Dewey retorted.

LEND-LEASE:
In Reverse

With the United Kingdom, Aus

Britain's reverse lend-lease to the
U. S. for the two years ending last
March totaled 21s billion dollars,
and If continued at the same
rate as the first three months of
1914, was expected to approximate
2 billion dollars for the whole year.
Out of the United Kingdoms con-
tribution of almost 2 billion dollars,
the U. S. received rail transporta-
ton to invasion ports; British
planes; airfields and other con-
struction; fresh vegetables and
other foodstuffs; lightweight gas
tanks; $4,000 miles of steel landing
mats; thousands of parachutes,
and 2 million pair of wooden socks.
Meats and dairy products consti-
tuted a major portion of Australia's

lion dollars, while foodstuffs made
up one-third of New Zealand's con-
tribution of over 100 million dollars.

Serious, Says Tokyo

Facing compression on the north

driven from the southern extremity.
Sheer cliffs, blind ravines, and
rough, wooded ridges bulked before
the Doughboys as they fought their
way forward over the rugged ter
rain, broken in many spots only by
goat paths.
AS U. S. troops frightened their
foothold on Saipan, the enemy re-
ported that naval aircraft continued
attacks against American shipping
supplying the ground forces, and
added: "We, the 100, 900, 900 people
Of Japan, must realize now, if ever,
that the outcome Of the battle of
