By George Tucker
NEW YORK, Oct. 8. —There’s
a sign in a pet shop near 48th
street and a keen student of hu

“If anyone tells you you can’t

Louis Bronrfield is a successful
novelist, a Pulitzer prize winner,
yet his greatest ambition is to
write a successful play. Of half
a dozen previous attempts, none
has been anything to cause Eug

is one of those novelists who can
not write plays. Darned few
playwrights could write ao ac
ceptable novel.

HANGHAI, Oct. 8, — General
Iwane Matsui, Japanese command
er in chief on the Shanghai front,
issued a proclamation, the first
official announcement concerning
the Japanese invasion of China,
which was considered equivalent,,
if not diplomatically, a formal
declaration of war.
Will Subdue Opponents
Matsui declared:
“The Japanese army is now
prepared to use every means
to subdue its opponents.”
Observers considered this a,
verbal prelude to the threatened
Japanese big push against the
Chinese defense lines northwest
of Shanghai.
Promised Early Victory
Matsui, in the name of the Em-:
peror of Japan, promised an ear-,
ly victory and a peaceful future:
“After scourging the Chin
ese government army which
has been pursuing anti-for
eign and anti Japanese poli
cies, in collaboration with
communist influences.”
He added that the lives and
property of nationals, and third
powers would be protected.
Threatened Shelling
The announcement came after;
army authorities threatened to
turn land and warship batteries'
against Pootung, and raze the in- j
dustrial area across the Wang-j
poo river from Shanghai, unless
Chinese batteries ceased tiring at;
the Japanese civilian area in the
Hongkew section of the Interna- j

POLO GROUNDS, N. Y„ Oct.
8, — Before the crumbling de
fenses of their rivals, the Yank
! eas today pounded out their 3rd
straight victory in the world ser
ies, defeating the Giants 5 to 1,
as the National Leaguers, com
mitted four errors and their ace
right hander Hal Schumacher
proved too wild to stop the Yank
ee sluggers.
—
New York. Oct. 8, — In their
own behalf, the American Leag
ue clouting champions, back'd
up by the fine pitching effort of
Monte Pearson's curve ball went
to town again today for the rd
time. And Pearson followed Gom
ez and Ruffing into the victory
column.
Replaced in 9th
Pearson gave up only five hits
after pitching to just 12 men ini
the first four innings of the
game. Suddenly he lost control
in the nineth stanza and was
taken out after loading the has- 1
es with two walks and a single.
Murphy Goes In
But Johnny Murphy, the leag
ue’s best relief flinger was call
ed in and ended the game by
forcing Harry Danning to fly out
to Terry.
Giants Looked Bad
The Giants looked worse in
their own park than they appear
ed across the Harlem River at
the Yankee Stadium, and were
unable to furnish anything in the
way of an attack.
Scored First 6 Innings
The Yanks, sensing victory for
the world series, collected all of
their runs and every one of their
nine hits off Schumacher in the
first six innings, and then quiet
ed down, before the relief pitch
ing of Melton, pitching his sec
ond straight game, and also the
pitching of veteran Don Brennan.
