And that shot, incidentally, Is one big reason why he was the de fending champion among the dozen experts in the annual 25.000 world's championship three-cushion tournament here. Ability of the lean Chlcagoan to negotiate this favorite but tricky set-up served him well a year ago at a critical" point in his cham pionship match against Allen Hall. Tho cue boll was near the end of tho table, a quarter of an Inch from tho first boll, with the second ball behind the cue ball and against the roll. Thurnblad cued the cue ball high. After kissing the first ball, It spun with little apparent speed horizon tally to the corner, , After striking the rail it re bounded around the corner, gaining speed, and easily had enough roll left to make the circuit of the table and contact with the second ball. Art had to work a long time to master that situation, but now it's his special "meat." .... An outsider in the pre-tourna-ment dope last year " Thurnblad came through with the extraordi nary record of 340 out of a possible 350 points winning six of Beven games. - ' Experts call Thurnblad one of the most sclentlflo professionals In this sclentlflo gome. - '-' They credit his ability to the fact that he has made the utmost use of a geometrically-trained mind, us ing his experience with angles gained in drafting, a profession he followed before becoming a cue pro, in plan ning three-oushion combinations. A master of the "diamond sys tem," he Is noted particularly for the rapidity with which he lines up, decides upon and executes his shots. It is Thurnblad's Idea that pro ficiency In billiards Id strictly a matter of precision, "There is no maglo in a billiard player's touch," he says, "nor Is there such a thing as a 'bom' bil liard player. "The balls go where you shoot them if you shoot them right." Returns Home Spencer D.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 28 VP) . Eugene Chen, who recently resigned as Chi nese foreign minister, said Wednes day the "ultimate aim of Japan's policy toward China Is mastery of the Pacific ocean and that means war with the United States." First, he said, Japan looked to un conditional annexation of Manchuria, from which she can dominate the entire Asiatic mainland and then to the conquest of Australia. "To accomplish these things." sold he, "Japan knows she Is destined to fight the United States. As a prepara tion for this inevitable struggle, the occupation of Manchuria is in an effort to obtain raw materials as the sinews of war. - "Her present pressure against Shanghai and the Yangtze valley, which contemplates the occupation not only of Shanghai but also of Nanking Is sufficient to paralyze the Chinese government and to force its acceptance of Japan's formal annexa tion of Manchuria. "The medloval minded military shogunate in the form of a general staff, which Is tho real government of Japan, now see Japan dominating all Asia, Including Australia. 11. 8. Only Obstacle "Between her and this goal stands tho United States. Thoroforo she plans for war. Whllo other nations disarm she arms. Manchuria is but a preparatory step for hor greatest conflict in which she hopes to ban ish forever the Influence of western nations In the Pacific ocean." Dr. Chen sold he had been study ing Manchuria and Japanese policies regarding It for twenty years, adding that "my statements may seem fan tastic to people thousands of miles away, but the coming generation will live to see that I speak the truth."
