Ex-Red Sox Pitcher Slain rwK Police in Chicago hold Mrs Eleanor Williams. 25-year-old tavern dice girl, in connection with the slaying of Gordon J McNaughton, 32-year-old one-time pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. According to authorities. Mrs Williams, angered by a fading love affair, tracked McNaughton to a hotel room where she shot him McNaughton, who bad been employed as a postoffice clerk in Chicago was with the Red Sox in 1932, lasting only a year Pictures show McNaughton and an officer leading Mrs. Williams into a police station.

swaying before him. Thi« negro was Chalky Wright, recognized in New York and affiltuted states as featherweight champion of th eworld — Wright who had promised to belt out young Stolz, the No. 1 lightweight contender. and thus remove the major obstacle preventing his shift from the ftatherwelght throne to the lightweight pedestal. Wright was out to kayo young Stoiz and he : tried manfully in the early rounds ■ to turn the trick with his explosive ehort punches to body and head. But the ancient Ixm Angeles negro. whos< age has been estimated variously from 30 to 40. had no , chance after the fifth round. Young Allies’ weight superiority of 132% to 128 pounds, and his youth and zing began to tell In the sixth { round, when a hooking attack had 1 Chalky staggering at the bell. Wright, who had won only the flftk round, clinging It on a Stolz foul and who had lost the third amt fourth round* on low-low fouls, i was hi pitiful shape in th,- 10th I round bleeding from a gashed I nose and gashed left brow. Then | Stolz hit him with a crashing right | hook to the chin. Wright’s anciefft knees buckled and h<- almost went 1 down Two more hooks followed ; to th< sam.- spot and Chalky was ready so ithe canvas. Th< n Stolz grinned -showing his bluish-white mouthpiece to the crowd —and he stepped in. but he didn't pole-axe the h'-lpless negro, instead, he arms encircled Chalky and he whispered in his ear: "How do you feel?" “Okay." replied Chalky from xroggyland "Good!" said Stolz, "don't worry. I'll carry you the r>-st of the round." The round had about two minutes to go. and Stolz carried Wright, now holding up hkt staggeiing opponent. now boxing at shadows and tnlssiug Chalky by inch fractions until the Anal gong. Meanwhile, the crowd that sensed Wright was ready for the kayo, was silent as the burlesque began. Then a ripple of applause started In appre-. elation es Allie’s all-to<e evident ! gesture a ripple that became a girder-shaking roar as the farce i went on. and endv din a grand I ovation for both In his dressing rooni Stolz said, “sure. I could have knocked him out, but what the heli for? He's not a bail old feller." TheS't were the words of Stolz, a lad who aho'ild Im* gall-bitter to the tight game and to the world which kicked him back at every chance because of the apparent fragility of his body and sent him manager Hymie Caplin, to prison because of an involvement ip card games. Stolz, who believes that he was roblied of the decision in his last fight with champion Angott. refused to knock out venerable Wright., Although Henry Armstrong a t negro, had no am h compunctions ' four years ago. when he tagged Chalky with his only kayo.

Kaiser Wins Fight For Cargo Planes Mass Producer Os Ships Wins Fiqht Washington. Aug. 7.— (UP) — Henry J Kaiser, pioneer mass producer of Liberty ships, apparently had won his fight today for a contract to construct huge 70-Von flying boats to speed men and war materials to world battlefronts. A spokesman at the war production board said agreements may be reached with Kaiser "in the next day or two’ to build flying boats of the Mars type There was no indication where the planes would be built, but Kaiser has proposed turnIng his Oregon shipyard into a mass production line for the cargo carrying planes with a possible construction rate of 5.000 a year. First word of the cargo plane j program came yesterday when! WPB chairman Donald M Nelson conferred with President Roosevelt and said afterward that th. plans would be worked out “in a short time" The WPB spokesman said that "Mr. Nelson is anxious to get Mr Kaiser into business." Kaiser’s original plane building program. outKned before congressional committees, called for conversion of several shipyards besides his own Oregon yard for building the planes. He said the air-freighters could be bullC* with out obstructing the Liberty ship program, possibly using facilities now idle because of the steel shortage. One ehipyard which might conceivably be used in such a program Is that of Andrew Jackson Hlggl.ts at New Orleans The maritime commission recently cancelled a contract for 200 Liberty ships with Higgins because of the steel shortage. Both the war production board and air force officers have emphasized the need for more cargo planes, but have warned that their manufacture should not interfere with the construction of combat planes. The WPB spokesman also revealed that officials have investigated the possibility of developing a 200ton cargo plane. alth<ugh action on that will be delayed about a year to contract for engineering drawings. Rep John B Tolan, D.. Calif., asked President Roosevelt to name Kaiser to a "high government position" because of his success as a shipbuilder. Kaiser, however, told Tolan that he felt he "can best servo the country by continuing as a builder." — o JAPS OCCUPY <Continued From t) tralian authorities here show plain | signs of anger at the idea that I there was anything in the Austral-
