Detroit Needs One i Win To Cinch Tie BULLETIN Detroit, Sept. 25-- (UP) — Rain forced poatponament of today’* aohedulod game between the Detroit Tiger* and the Cleveland Indiana, a id the game was re-scheduled as part of a doubleheader tomorrow. Detroit, Sept. 25— (UP)— Allot Benton, a giant right hander fron Noble, Okla., who has Impliei! that hl* Detroit team mate* lei him down when he pilches, wat named to go against Cleveland today in the game that could clinch at least a tie for the American league pennant for the Tigers. Benton, the ex-sailor. Insisted he was no "Alihl'lke" and that hi* remarks didn't necessarily mean there was any dissension on the club. He simply wonders why his mate* can't give him more support in lhe batting and fielding departments. Benton was the early season sensation of the Tigers, winning five out of six game*. During that time his mates got a total of II runs, less than two a contest for him. He wasn't complaining about non-support then, apparently because he didn't need any. During that stretch Benton pitched three shutouts, gave up one run each In two games, and two runs in the sixth. The only game he lost was a 1 to 0 decision to Washington when he gave up Just four hits. Benton was well on his way then to a new American league earned run record of less than one per game and he gave up

only 2fi hits or less than five per game during the stretch. Things are different now i Tragedy overtook Benton at Phil- ! adelphla on April 24 when a line : drive broke his leg and took him ' out of the lineup until July 1. 1 He started out again as if to make up for lost time and won six more games while losing one to make his record 11 wins and two defeats. Then something happened. Just what Benton doesn't know him- • self. Maybe it was the migraine t headaches that caused his dis , charge from the navy or maybe > he unconsciously was favoring I his weak iyg Twelve times in a row Benton went to the mound, • It as a starter and once ax a rei lief pitcher. In each of hlx startt ing jobs he had to have relief and . in the relief assignment he lost t the game. His mark today Is 13 I victories and seven defeats. t Manager Steve O'Neill said the I team would "Just have to play belter ball" Im hind him. O'Neil) ' thinks Benton can beat the Indians. whom he shut out for eight innings lu-fore they opened up on him for six runs last week. o — , Trade In a O«M Town —Decatur . i <OMK OISUVIM in Washington •eport the possibility of Assistant Secretary of State James C.

Jap Naval Leaders Opposed U. S. War Most Japs Expected In War Was Draw Tokyo, Sept. 25—(UP)—Adm. Kichlxnburo Nomura. Japan's last ambassador to the United Stalos, said today that the most Japan expected from war with the United Stales was a draw and that some Nipponese naval officers had opposed going to war in 1941. Nomura in an interview published In Tokyo's Yomiuri Hothi said Japan "never had a chance" against the United Stales. During the war he had told the Japanese people In the same newspaper that the United States war effort would not he able to withstand heavy manpower loxoec inflicted by the Japanese. Nomura, who with special envoy Saburo Kuruxu was conferring with U. S. state department representatives virtually up to the hour of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor said he had Hesitated to take the post of ambassador but had finally accepted after pressure from the Japanese navy. "When I went to Washington as amlmssador, relations Im- tween the United States and Japan were near the breaking point," he said. Nomura indicated that the late President Roosevelt had been willing to meet on the high seas with then Japanese premier Prince Fumlnaro Konoye in Aug. 1941. but that "the Pacific meeting should be merely tn sign 'an agreement” after preliminary negotiations had been arranged. "Itoosevell's reply was that in case he met Konoye on the high seas without preliminary negotiations, and the talks failed, hr

would be embarrassed," Nomura said. "The talks failed to progress and the hope for peace •■came more distant. With establishment of the Tojo cabinet, the situation became even more pessimistic.'* He added that he "was not without atiine hope" when Kuruxu came to Washington that there was still time to prevent an open rupture between Jupun and the United States. "I was always of the opinion that Japan would not profit if we became Involved in a war with the United States," he said. "I always thought Japan must not go to war with America. "This wax the opinion too of the Japanese navy . . . once war started it wax a foregone conclusion the principal warfare would be air and naval, if things went well, the best Japan would hare hoped for would have b«ea a draw. "Even If America lost Hawaii, her most important base in the Pacific —the best we could have done was to have occupied Hawaii —lt would merely have meant America had lost a pawn. It would have been painful to the Americana, but it would nol have been a fatal blow. Owing to her vast production It was clear that America would stage a comeback” The comeback was quicker than the Japanese had expected, Nomura said. o— — Fire Trap The chief danger of being trapped by Are lies in the house.
