FOUR
French's 5-Hitter
Blanks Pittsburgh
By JUDSON BAILEY
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Last night Lefty Larry French,
, the veteran who usually starts a
game about once in ten days,
went to the mound in Pittsburg
on one day's rest and hurled a
five-hit 5-0 shutout for the Brook
lyn Dodgers against the Pirates.
French's appearance on the
mound was unexpected. He had
been knocked out in the sixth in
ning at St. Louis Saturday, suffer
ing his first defeat of the year,
and was not in line to work for
several days.
But he went about his task
thoroughly, never getting into
trouble, and racking up his 11th
triumph.
He was supported by a ten-hit
attack that included Camilli's
14th homer of the year and three
hits by Medwick as well as by
four double plays.
This increased Brooklyn's nat
ional league lead to (il games and
the Dodgers received more glad
tidings when they were Inform
ed that Peto Reiser, their star
centerflelder who was Injured at
St. Louis Sunday, would be re
leased from a hospital today.
All other teams In both major
leagues were idle yesterday.

Threat to World
Seen in Gandhi's
Action in India
(By DeWltt Mackenzie)
(Wide World War Analyst)
With much reluctance one re
cords that among the gravest of
the many threats which beset the
allied cause in this fateful sum
mer is the latest move of the All
India congress (nationalists),
backed by Mohandas K. Gandhi,
to compel Britain to withdraw
completely from rule of Hindu
stan. One uses the phrase "with
much reluctance" because there
can be no American who doesn't
sympathize with the urge of any
people to be Independent. But the
quarrel between the Indian na
tionalists and the British has
ceased to be a family affair and
now threatens the security of the
whole allied world.
The working committee of the
All-India congress has adopted a
resolution demanding the with
drawal of Britain from rule of In
dia. Ghandl has supplemented
this with the disclosure that If
the British don't acquiesce he will
lead "a mass movement of the
widest possible scale," and this Is
understood to mean non-violent
civil disobedience. Though Gand
hi abhors violence in any form, he
nevertheless admits that it may
result.
Dilemma For Britain
Britain is damned if she does
and damned If she doesn't.
Should she accede to the demand
and withdraw from rule which
she won't It would plunge the
country Into chaos because of the
bitter political, religious and so
cial conflicts.
Now no one would for a minute
suggest that Gandhi has any
thought of injuring the allied
cause, or injuring anyone, for
that matter. Indeed the congress
resolution states it isn't Intended
that the British be banished phy
sically from Indian territory, that
the United Nations be handicap
ped in fighting the axis or that
the way be paved for aggression
against India. I know Gandhi
personally and reverence him as
one ot tne great spiritual leaders.
Menace To World
The fact remains, however, that
the nationalists have been blinded
by their burning desire for free
dom. The congress resolution,
aimed only at obtaining India's
Independence, might be the in
strument which would destroy
the Independence of America and
all the other allied friends of
Hindustan.
This fateful resolution still has
to be ratified by the general com
mittee of the congress at Calcutta
on August 8. and public reaction
among the United Nations makes
It clear there's widespread hope
that such drastic action may be
postponed until after the war.

Northslde Sunshine club will
