 New York, Sept. g - tuPl - Let baseball be the connecting link among all countries of the western hemisphere. That's the target aimed ct by Ray Dumont, president of the National Baseball Congress, who will present his case to the co.ordinatoi of inter-American affairs at Wash' lngton next week,
 Dumont points out that We share the music and dances of the Latin American countries-but we of the United states have been sold on their beauty-we are on the reeetv- ing end,
 He admits, however, that the Latin American countries are on the receiving end of our motion pictures which appeal to oil sexes.
 But when you want to appeal to the men of Latin America, ho in- sists, there Is only one great com mon denominator-baSeball. Already 1t Is being played in several Latin countries, where usually the enthu' bltlSH IN kEShVSt SNVh Ws~aA h N'N United States.
 Those countries include Cuba Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, Ecu- ador, Venezuela, Guatemala, Pan- ana, El Salvador, and Jamaica in the West Indies.
 Dumont emphasizes: "If baseball could serve as Q basis for under standing between the United States and such countries as Argentina Brazil and Chile, 1t would accom- plish c rapproaehment that no other basis of understanding has been ahlt to achieve.
 Dumont will propose to the CO., ordinator of Inter American affairs that his department underwrlte on international tournament among 3. countries, to Do staged each year nt Washington, among the best teams of the western hemisphere Dumont figures that it would cost the inter- American department only about s2oo,0o0 each year to bring the competing teams to Washington
 Dumont figures that the depart ment would get much of this S200,' 900 back In ticket purchases by fans He figures that way because he hal staged for the past Il seasons the annual national non.professiona tourney ct Wichita, Kans. - tn final for season.long competition ir which 10000 clubs and more thar i20 1000 players compete,
 This years national tournaInen resulted in 6 victory by the sher' man Field nine of Tt. Leavenworth Kans. More than i26.000 person. witnessed the two weeks of competi ton,
 When competition includes oil oi tho Latln- American countries, Du' mont said, 1t will be 6 great thinl for the major league scouts. They can pick outstanding players from Latin countries. And the exploits oi these Launs in major league uni- forms will sell baseball in those par ticular areas better than any other vehicie-their respective countries will 90 ga-sa about the successes oi their home boys,

Boston, Sept, 3. (UP)-New Eng- land middlewelght Champ Coley Welch of Portland, Me, continued to wear his crown today and rough house Ralph zannelli of Providence, R. T., faced e possible three.month suspension after being disqualified in their title fight.
 The Massachusetts boxing conn mission was to meet Monday to consider the case and hear pro- test from zannelli's handlers that the decision was unfair and htat the crown be held ln abeyanee pends ing e re.match.
 Opening the indoor boxing sea- son at Boston Garden last night the pair engaged in Q sort of street corner brawl that ended midway in the sixth round with police hauling the fighters and their handlers apart and holding back fans who stormed Into the ring.
 The fight had been about even at that point. Neither fighter was punching eleanly but the champion contended that Zannelli was elbow ing him in the eye, In the fifth round they hung through the ropes and Welch started arguing and was warned by Refree Johnny Martin, From then on both fighters tried most Of the rings illegal tactics and Martin after warning Zannelli more than four times halted the bout when the Providence boxer butted Welch in the mid-seetion.
 A dozen policemen leaped into the ring to hold back the crowd and separate Weleh and Zannelli who continued to fight, wrestle and finally fall to the floor in 0 welter of flying fists and legs,

 Ballroom Sept. 2S

When it comes to beating the drums, Gene Krupa Is generally conceded to Do the faStest man in the business, and according to health authorities, he expends as much energy in working aS do athletes il pursuing strenuous sports.
 Tests show that when Krupa beats out Q hot swing chorus he exertS more energy than q mile runner, c fleet halfback or the fastest tap dancer.
 Krupa, who urummed his way to Stardom. first aS Benny ooodman's drummer, and then as ail orchestra leader, is appearing with his famous orchestra at the Ritz Ballroom through arrangements with Music Corporation of America.
 James Davies, health and exercise authority measured Krupas exer- ton during c "jan session" and declared his drumming required as much energy as almost any other human motion.
 Davies compared the drumming with c uVesminute nanuphH game at top speed. c i4-foot pole vault, . aix foot high jump or c 24-foot bread jump. Two swing numbers in . row ag Krupa plays them are more enervatlng than c mile run or four line plnugeS on the football Aeid.
 Musically speaking, drumming rec quires far more energy than other lIfbtriiinentg.
 Krupa drops as much as three pounds ifl, Q days playing, and he hes to cat like . farm hand to fnain- tain his weight of i42 pounds. HO has ruined 60 many suits with perS- piraticn that he's lost count.

 Pfc. Jessie H. MeCandless. of Hol- ly Springs. Miss. and Pvt.

Mass, set up the operating table which consisted of the galley door supported by two packing boxes.
 Three hours and forty minutes later. a dozen red-eyed men still stood about the galley tenseiy watching the doctors fight for the soldiers life. All surgical instru- ments had been dashed to the floor at least once by the violent pitch ing Of the tug. At crucial moment the scissors had caromed to the floor and scalpels had to be used instead Sgt. Wolfson had to i'm proyise a training tube from the finger of a sterilized rubber glove.
 But now the job was done, and a Navy PBY could be heard cireling for a landing. Rough seas or not, the great flying boat made the landing. and the patient was soon enroute to one of the well-equipped Aleutian base hospitals.

 Eyer since the days when the first great migrations of Iowans. Kansaus. Nebraskans and other mid westerners started moving in. Cal ifornia's party politics has been further complicated. After these normally Republican voters camc a wave of migrants from the South. predominantly Democratic.

Certain it is that the war worker votes are going to count for much come November z. Already there are grumblings from San Diego to the San Francisco bay re- zion about the activities of the CIO political action committee.
