Whales Commit Mass Suicide

CRESCENT BEACH, Fla. (P)- Forty-four whales swan out of a rough ocean and deliberately beached themselves yesterday in an apparent mass suicide.
 Most of the mammals, which ranged in size from seven to IA feet, died quickly as they were rolled over the sands by the rough surf.
 A few remained alive and efforts were made to drag them back into the water
 Curators said that several times in the past, whales have beached themselves along the Florida coast in unexplained "hari-kari" fash ion. When they were lowed back into the water, they swam head long into shore again.

Scan Per Diem of Wash'n Treasurer

OLYMPIA, Wash. (P)-The leg islative councils subcommittee on spending of state money cast a critical eye yesterday at state treasurer Russell Fluent after re- ceiving reports from accountants that he had drawn $1,984 in per diem expenses during the 15- month period ended June 30.
 The report, which also criticized other operations of the treasurer's office, said Fluent drew the per diem for about 75 per cent of the period.
 Fluent, now Progressive party candidate for Governor, said in Sedro Woolley that the report was prompted by political reasons"
 He asserted it was small and cheap" to criticize his drawing the standard $6 a day allowance away from Olympia when his monthly salary as treasurer is but $290.

Bottle Of Coral Sea Termed
First Bia Defeat for japan

In the battle of that island-studd d
ocean known as the Coral sea- which
is near the Solomon islands and
about LOCO miles northeast Of Aus
tralia, Americas first real victory
of the war with Japan was scored.
The action occurred on May 4, 1912,
and called for deeds of valor as
thrilling as any in all American
history.
The Coral sea battle was the first
great naval defeat ever dealt the
imperial japanese fleets And yet
this battle was fought entirely in
TIE air, by the planes of opposing
aircraft carriers.
The ships engaged in this battle
never got sight of each other. They
slugged it out without firing a single
gun at another ship-the first en-
gagement of its kind in history. IN
this first great victory for the U. S.
i this global war the Japs lost more
than Is ships sunk and at least 20
others severely damaged The action
perhaps saved Australia from inva-
sion.
However, America paid a high
price for her victory in the sultry
Coral sea. In this engagement the
aircraft carrier. Lexington, famed
ship that laid the foundation Of our
modern navy's aircraft carrier op-
erations. went to the bottom. This
happened on May Z.

The Other Half

The former United States Senator
James E. Watson, recalling his days
as a struggling lawyer, related an
amusing story about one of his first
cases. His client was a rambunc-
tious old Irish woman whose unpre-
dictable and irascible actions be-
deviled not only the august court,
but her own sweating attorney as
well.
The old lady had only one lawyer,
while the opposition had two, an ad-
vantage which seemed to weigh ex-
ceedingly heavy on her mind. Wat
son was not greatly concerned about
the outcome, and sought to reassure
his client; but without avail.
MARY" he finally demanded,
what on earth do you want another
lawyer for?'
Faith, and you have the nerve to
ask me that" she shrieked in tones
which arrested the attention of the
court and spectators alike. well,
you see, on their side when wan is
talkin' the other wan is a-thinkin',
while on our side when yez are
talkin' there's no wan a-thinkin'!'

A . tAh as anyone can see now,
- the month Of June will be a big
one for boxing with Louis defending
his title against Walcott.
Louis says this will be his last
fight.
What will happen if Louis wins,
and then retires? The heavyweight
division will be the way Gene Tun-
ney left it years ago. Then the
aftermath included S C h m l n e,
Sharkey, Camera. Baer and Brad
dock.
This was not what you'd call
the greatest collection of fighting
flesh ever thrown together. On
general average it was pretty
sorry stuff. There wasn't a top
fighter in the lot. Yes, Schmeling
knocked out Louis, but Baer
knocked out Schmeling. And SO
did Louis in the return match.
Tunney left sorry bunch OF
fighters in his wake-until Louis
came along. Louis made up for the
mediocrity of the others that pre-
coded him. 1t was Dempsey, Tun-
ney, chaos and Louis.
What will it be after Louis? Sup
pose Louis wins. That will leave
chaos again. If Walcott wins, Jer-
sey Joe will be the new champion.
No one can rate Jersey Joe
great champion. He has been just
another heavyweight too long; just
another average fighter who hap
pened to remain in shape when
Louis didn't.
You can't sell number of fight
ers, even champions, the idea that
condition is as important as their
own native skill. Yet condition
happens to be more important than
anything Louis has-his punch, his
boxing skill, his gameness.
Louis as the heavyweight cham
pion defending his title against
Walcott was joke, a travesty on
training, on condition. He was
puffy fat man who couldn't move
out of his tracks.
He returned from his exhibition
tour in England weighing at least
240 pounds, and then worked des-
perately to lose Is pounds in a few
weeks.
Louis took on Walcott as a joke.
If Louis can win in the condition
he has to offer for late June, Wal
colt must be a joke. Louis will
have to create miracle to be even
close to the form that made him,
and kept him, champion so many
years.

He's All Wet

An officer asked a tough "old
army" sergeant to look after a plot
of grass in front of the mess hall.
The sergeant promptly appointed a
private to water the plot each after
noon.
One day, during a terrific thunder
storm, the sergeant stormed into the
barracks and caught the private
doing bunk fatigue.
'It's o'clock" roared the SER
geant, land you're supposed to be
out there watering the grass!"
But sergeant" the priv t e
pleaded, look at the thunder
storm"
That's no excuse" the sergeant
beloved. Haven't you got rain
coat?"

The LiUe Ball

1t has remained for young
rookie pitcher to call a check on
your reporter and also enter what
is perhaps a well-deserved rebuke.
This rookie pitcher is smart-and
what is more important - he also
can pitch. Up to 100000 was Of
fered for his service in the box.
"You WRITE" he said, "that
johnson, Walsh, Alexander, Mat
ty and others pitched around 400
innings or more. That's right.
You also write that no modern
pitcher can work 300 innings.
Most of the good ones are $50
inning pitchers. That's right too.
But don't forget those old pitchers
were throwing half-dead ball
a spit ball-a fuzzed-up ball-a
lOgy ball that Samson couldn't hit
out of bandbox ball park"
Nov, check back with me.
Home-run Baker hit IL home runs
in one year and promptly was
labelled 'Home-Run' Baker. Here
is the king of all home-run hitters.
He smashes IL four-baggers in one
season and he is the king. Why to-
day, some of these buns I'm throw
ing at might pile up IL home runs
in two weeks"
I'm telling you," he continued,
that today we are throwing ex-
plosive bombs to the plate. Every
ball we throw is loaded with dyna-
mite. You can take a broom and
hit one for three bases.
You remember those old Yam
KEGS headed by Ruth and Gehrig?
They set a home-run record that
never would be broken, and they
were swinging at a rabbit ball.
Last year the Giants came along
and made those Ruth-Gehrig Yam
KEGS look like hunters. They we're
hammering at a rubber ball, even
faster than the one Babe and Geh-
rig swung at.
ITO show the difference, if Ruth
were playing in the day of Home
Run Baker, his top would have
been 20 home runs for the entire
season.
Which reminds me that l ran into
Larry Lajoie a few years after he
had quit and the lively ball had
come into use. Larry played in an
old-timer's game.
"I'm glad" he said, 1--WE didn't
have this modern ball when I
played"
