Ohio Professor Predicts Comet Will Be Visile Bright Ones Appear Once In Four Years, He Says;' Not Dangerous To Earth DELAWARE, 0., Aug. 6. - () -1 Watching the heavens through the' huge telescope of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity, Dr. N. T. Bobrovnikoff pre- dicts another bright comet visible1 either this year or next. The astron- omer says that "a comet visible to the naked eye appears on the average once in four years. "The last bright comet was observed in 1931, so we may expect shortly to see one of these celestial visitors." He attempts to dispel the illusion that comets are dangerous to' the eaith. Many times during the history of mankind, Dr. Bobrovnikoff asserts, the earth probably has passed through the tails of comets. The atmospheric blanket, he says, acts as a shield, causing meteors to burn up or break into millions of small particles before they strike the ground. MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS American League W L Pct.

He Does First-Basing For League Leaders Death Reveals Hindenburg As Greatest Of All His Figure Looms Above' The Commanders Who Defeated Him By KIRKE SIMPSON (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. -On the walls of General John J. Pershing's office hangs a dimming enlargement of a signal corps photograph taken long ago "over there." It bears no scrawled autographs to give it specialj meaning to him, yet it stirs brave memories. The signal corps caption is "A Squad of Famous Soldiers." And what a squad! Bulky "Papa" Joffre, a coun- try squire to the eye despite his sol- dierly trappings; Foch, generalissimo of victory; Haig of England, a bit stooped; Pershing, erect, youthful by contrast; bearded Gallian of Belgium; Albricci of Italy; Hailer of Poland. Soldiers all, great soldiers, parad- ing in their hour of victory to ap- plaud Petain as he received his mar- shal's baton before the happy people of Metz, under old walls that still echoed the thud of retreating German army boots. Von Hindenburg's Day What prophetic eye could then have discerned in the shadows of time un- born the figure of another as great soldier, in enemy uniform, a hero in! defeat, not victory, which was to tower in world stature above those of the victors? That famous squad was long ago demobilized by death or retirement. It wasitheir last, their grandest pa- rade with its setting a symbol of vic- tory. None was to see military renown lift him to higher civil honors and power in the bitter, post-war years, al- though Pershing dreamed his dreams. They had had their grim and terrible Sky Train Car Is Shunted Off At Capital Labor Leader To Talk On 'War And Fascism' Joseph C. Roberts, Detroit worker and active labor leader, will talk on "War and Fascism," and attempt an analysis of their significance from the standpoint of the working class, at 8 p.m. Wednesday night in the Union. Roberts has been active in the labor movement in Chicago, Buffalo, and Detroit. He will explain the economic basis of the present war crisis in Aus- tria, Germany, and Italy. The meeting is under the auspices of the Vanguard Club. Italian Prince Will Test Swallows' Homing Flight ROME, Aug. 6. - (P) - Whether swallows really "homeward fly" is be- ing investigated here by Prince Fran- cesco Chigi Della Rovere, ardent or-- Snithologist. Noting that the birds were becom- ing scarce in this region, he reared 100 of them in incubators at Castelfuano, a suburb. They have shown great at- tachment to their homes. * When cold weather comes. the prince expects his pets to fly away but he hopes they will wing their way back in the springtime. HEALTH NOTE Homicides in Kentucky increased from 539 in 1932 to 602 the following year, and suicides decreased from 302 to 269. -Associated Press Photo One of the three mail-carrying gliders which made up the first "sky-train" is shown as it landed in Washington after a trip from New York.

HILLIGAN (Associated Press Sports Writer) DETROIT, August 6. - (P) -There are only two reasons - albeit big ones -why big Hank Greenberg is not playing first base with the New York Yankees against their rivals for first, place, the Detroit Tigers, instead of vice versa,, The reasons are $9,000, and LouI Gehrig - not necessarily set downI here in the order of importance. The $9,000 was the option plum the Tigers dropped into Huge Henry's lap when the six-foot four-inch, 210- pound slugger was still in high school. Gehrig, of course, happens to do about all the first-basing the Yankees need. Greenberg, whose improvement this year is high on the mounting list of "factors in the Tigers' sensational showing," was a standout high school athlete at Monroe high school in New York City for four years. Respects Lou's Durability' He played baseball, football, soc- cer, basketball and track, winning letters in all five. Before his gradua- tion New York, Washington and the Tigers had made offers for his serv- ices. Henry liked his native New York, and he liked the Yankees. But he considered Gehrig's unsurpassed rec- ord of durability and figured his fu- ture with the Ruppert Rifles would be rather remote, to say the least. The Tigers finally signed him, pay- ing him $9,000 with the understand- ing he would enter college to gain experience. But he couldn't wait and left with the Bengals for spring training camp. He was farmed to Hartford, Conn., and Raleigh, N. C., then came back to Detroit, still unable to get going. Finds Stride In Texas Sent to Evansville, Ind., in the Three-Eye league, he couldn't find himself. Then with Beaumont in the Texas league in 1931 he started to click and hit 39 home runs. "Oboy!" he recalls, "was I a slugger against those minor league pitchers- and was I a sucker for those majors!" Last year he started badly, then suddenly began to get straightened out. In the current campaign he has been one of the most dangerous of all Tiger batsmen with men on the bases. He is a slashing type of clubber, lin- ing his drives against the fences in- stead of lifting them. At first base he makes a fine target, and his field- ing has improved steadily. New York's loss - though it's be hard to say what the Yankees could actually do with Henry -has been the Tigers' gain, and may mean that first pennent since 1909 for Mickey Cochrane's hustling Bengals. POOR FISH! Sea anemones, which resemble sen- sitive flowers, live on fish which they seize and paralyze with their poison- ous tentacles. 1 i t l x i i t t I ti New Deal Has A Full House - Or Maybe Three Yet beyond the Rhine, even then, Paul von Hindenburg, older than the oldest of the victor squad, was begin- ning a new march along paths strange to his soldierly steps toward a niche in world history all his own, impelled by that great-hearted love of coun- try which is. a soldier's lode-star. Love Of Fatherland Von Hindenburg had known earned and honored retirement while the vic- tors were still juniors, before the blar- ing war trumpets of 1914 brought him back to duty, to public service that death alone would end, to a long life- time of ever-increasing responsibili- ties. For another double decade that ponderous, martial figure, that stern face, were to be worked into the very fabric of world history, in war and in peace,*as it came from the loom of j the hurrying years. Revered, worshipped by his coun- tr:men, honored hy soldiers and statesmen alike among the conquer- ors, acclaimed 'by the world as a sol- dier of peace as well as war, a vital personal force around whose bier were to gather dark forebodings as to what new disaster for mankind the death of his one man might mean - it is a gripping story, that of Paul von Hindenburg. It has no fellow in all the lore of the World war and its aftermath. And what made him what he was, what history will write him down for, was love of his German fatherland. That is his fitting epitaph. Operation May Aid Pug Lund's Playing MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 6.- (P) -Re- covering from the shock of the first news that Francis "Pug" Lund, all- America halfback, had lost a finger by amputation, Minnesota football fans glow inthe assurance that loss of the digit actually may help Lund's play- ing. N Gopher followers have been jittery in the assumption that prospects for the Maroon and Gold's greatest sea- son were "too good to be true." It has become an axiom at Minnesota that "something always happens" to blast rosy prospects. But the home folks have the state- ment of Dr. Myron Henry, bone spe- cialist, that Lund will . be a better football player than ever. The dur- able Pug, he revealed, had been handi- capped throughout his collegiate ca- reed by stiffness in the small finger of his left hand. The digit was broken when Lund was in high school. It became stiff, and several times each season was in- jured or dislocated. So by recommen- dation of Dr. Henry, Lund readily agreed to having the tip amputated.

The child fell into a small reservoir several months ago and was rescued after a bad fright. Neighbors with modern ideas counselled the parents to let the baby's experience teach its own lesson. In the next couple of months he fell in four more times, showing marked terror after each rescue. Just about the time the di Guidos had decided to resort to less modern precautionary methods the baby fell in again and was drowned.
