Dykes, cast his lot for an- other three years today with his equally scrappy Chicago White Sox. Squashing reports he might leave for another spot-rumor had it he was going to Detroit's Tigers at $35,- 000 a year-the 44-year-old White Sox pilot signed to manage the club through 1944. Mrs. Grace Comiskey, club president, said, "Jimmy got a raise,"-and it was generally believed it upped his salary from $25,000 year- ly to about $27,500 or $28,000. "With- out mentioning the names of any clubs, I've had offers at more money," said Dykes. "But I haven't had any since last spring, when certain clubs told me that if I ever contemplated leaving Chicago to keep them in mind. "But it's been pleasant working here, and I'm told I'll have the same free rein I've had in the past. I'll go right on trading, buying and sell- ing players as I see fit and that suits me fine." Dykes had a broad, satisfied grin on his face as he made that last re- mark, for the leeway the club has given him helped build his reputa- tion as one of the shrewdest traders in the game-one who has demon- strated a remarkable faculty of mak- ing a collection of bargain basement players into a hustling, hard-to-beat club. The White Sox have been "hot" recently, taking nine victories and a tie in their last 12 starts and being only a game and a half out of third place. Dykes is confident his 1942 team will be the best he's had since he took over the club managership in May, 1934, succeeding Lou Fonseca. That season the club finished in the American League cellar, but from then Dykes transformed the club into a hustling outfit that for years has been a pennant factor. Immediately after signing Dykes hurried away to Mercy Hospital for another one of the many checkups on some stomach trouble he's been having lately. During the last month or so he's lost 20 pounds, dropping from 198 to 178 pounds. Amazon Brazil contains the great- est variety of trees of any known forest area. Hyatt Says Basketball Is Best Army Game DENVER, Aug. 13.-(P)-Baseball may be by tradition the national pastime, but basketball as the best national defense game got a hearty vote today from one of the greatest stars the cage sport ever produced. "I'd say that basketball from prac- tically all standpoints is the best game for men called into the army," said Charley Hyatt, who might be prejudiced since he has devoted bet- ter than half his life to the sport. "It's a better game than football for putting young fellows in shape with a minimum of injuries. Besides, it costs less per man to play than football or baseball and because of the smaller playing space required, the average army camp could have a lot more teams." Hyatt was an A.A.U. All-American several years ago. -- Nazi military sources said units of German panzer divisions have reached the Black Sea coast at several points. Althoughthe points were not divulged, the Germans said they were driving to objectives east of Ochakov, near the naval base of Odessa. The Germans claimed to be in command of the Dnieper River below Kiev. French Club Plans 'Broadcast' Of Les Precieuses Ridicules' Start Jail rna ~~"I It O>_____ "Broadcast" of Moliere's 17th cen- tury farce, "Les Precieuses Ridicu- les," and a talk on European condi- tions have been planned for the-final meeting of the Summed Session French Club, at 8 p.m. today at Le Foyer Francais, 1414 Washtenaw. In the title roles in the drama are Berthe Carry and Katherine Swift, portraying Madelon and Cathos, daughter and niece, respectively, of Gorgibus. Les amants rebutes, La grange and Du Croisy, will be played by Dick Pickard and John O'Neill, the former a graduate student and the latter a member of the Romance languages faculty. Gorgibus, le bon bourgeois, will be played by Prof. Warner F. Patterson of the department. Marotte, the servant of the "precieuses ridicules," and Almanzor, their laquais, will be offered by Ethel Kilham and Lois Guuden. Prof. Charles E. Koella, ad- viser to the club, will be in the role of le Marquis de Mascarille, valet of la Grange. James O'Neill, also a member of the faculty, will portray le Vicomte de Jodelet and the first porter, and John O'Neill will be the second por- ter, while the two will represent les Violons. Following the play there will be a talk by Joachim Lay, a Chinese stu- dent of engineering, who will give his last impressions of the European peon- tinent. Before coming to the campus Raymond Fisher Will Speak Today At University High At 4 p.m. today Dr. Raymond Fisher of Oberlin College will pre- sent in the University High School Auditorium his talk entitled, "Pro- gressive Education in Conflict." Dr. Fisher will enlarge upon some of the charges that in this time of conflict are being leveled at Pro- gressive education, such as: produc- ing a flaccid youth; lack of patriot- ism in text books; pupils have too much liberty; and that the students theipselves prefer a clear-cut organ- ization to the liberal type. Dr. Fisher has a varied background of experience from which to draw his conclusions. In addition to hav- ing traveled extensively abroad he has served in consular capacity in London; taught in a Junior College, Teachers College, State Universities and the New York City College. four weeks ago, Lay was a student in France, Switzerland and Belgium. He is the son of an attache to the Chi- nese legation in Oslo and has been many years in Europe.
