New Faces Will
Adorn Lineup Of
Portland Ducks
By Russell J. Kewland
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
BAN FRANCISCO, Jon. 29 UP)
Portland's Ducks, always dangerous
in the annual scramble for coast
league laurels, will, present a flock
of new faces this season with, the
promise of a strong team If for no
reason other than Manager Spencer
Abbott Is still on deck.
Abbott, one of the old firebrands i
of baseball, made a big hit In his I
coast debut last year. He made j
players who had never known the i
true meaning of the word "hustle,"
hop around like fleas on a hot stove. !
Ed Coleman's case is Illustrative. 1
With the Seals, Coleman moved
around as though working In a slow
motion picture. With Portland and
under Abbott he worked so hard the
management had put him under re
straint for fear he would wear out.
Incidentally, Coleman has been sold
to the Athletics, reporting this spring.
Bowman Developed
Abbott also developed Joe Bowman
to the point where he will pitch
for the Athletics this season, pro
vided of course, he makes the grade
with Connie Mack.
Player deals were plentiful dur
ing the winter, so 'among the miss
ing this spring will bo Jack Fenton,
first sacker sent to Memphis; Billy
Thlel, second baseman going to De
troit; George Wuestllng, shortstop, to
Memphis; Larry Woodall, catcher, to
Sacramento; Walter Malls and Bill
. Fosedel, pitchers, to Chattanooga and
Wichita respectively, and in addition,
Coleman and Bowman.
Turner lined up plenty of replace
ments. He obtained a tralnload of
players from the Athletics for Cole
man and Bowman. Scan this list:
Hank McDonald and Jlm Peterson,
right hand pitchers and both pros
pects; Joe Falmisano, catcher; Pat
Htggins, third base;- Louis Finney, Bob
, Johnson and Jimmy Moore, outfield
ers. McDonald a Find
McDonald graduated from the
Ducks a year ago and served a full
season under Mack. He is a young
ster and considered a keen find. Pet
erson was plucked from the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania campus last
year. Palmisano, called "Palm" by
coast league scorers for the sake of
TROUBLED ALL LIFE
WITH CONSTIPATION
But Kellogg's All-Bran
Brought Real Relief
If you are subject to headaches,
loss of appetite and energy, sleep
lessness and other effects that so
often result from constipation, read
MrB. Turner's voluntary letter.
1 "For the past six months I have
been eating Kellogg's All-Bran,'
1 and cannot praise it too highly.
"Am fifty years of age. All my
life have been troubled with consti
pation. Kellogg's All-li han has not
only helped me, but has cured me.
"I thought I couldn't like the
taste of bran, but Kellogg's All
Bran is delicious." Mrs. C. J.
Turner, 607 Hanover Street, Fall
River, Mass.
Tests show All-Bran contains
two things which overcome consti
pation: "Bulk" to exercise the in
testines; Vitamin B to help tone the
-intestinal tract. All-Bran also sup
plies iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in All-Bran is much
. like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass, which gently
clears the intestines of wastes.
Certainly this is more natural
than taking pills and drugs so
often harmful. All-Bran is not
habit-forming. Two tablespoonfuls
daily will correct most types of con
stipation. If you have intestinal
trouble not relieved this way, see
your doctor.

your grocer's. Made by Kellogg in

convenience, is returning to' his old
bailiwick. He saw so little service
with the A'b last year that scorers
under the '"big tent" used his full
name.
Htggins played in tho Texas league
last year. Finney Is a young fellow
regarded as having a brilliant future!
A hard hitter and good fielder, he
probably will play right field. Moore
is slated to play a center with' John
son, sent down "to the Ducks last
season, fighting it out with Fred
Berger for the left field berth.
Other Additions
Other additions during the winter
were Bobby Reeves, shortstop, from
the Boston Red Sox and Pitchers
Johnny Prudhomme, right hander
purchased from St. Paul, and Art
Jacobs, southpaw bought from Wich
ita. Prudhomme had a winning sea
son In 1931. He once brought $50,000
to Toronto In a deal with Detroit but
failed to make the big league grade.
Jacobs, a small left hander, was with
Hollywood several years ago. --
Portland needs a first sacker and
a deal is reported brewing with Min
neapolis whereby Hale, third base
man, will be exchanged for George
Kelly, one time Giants star. .
Others who will be expected to re
port to the San Jose training camp
include, pitchers, Charles Shores,
Jack Killeen, Herb Lahtl. and Ossie
Orwall; Jack Fltepatrick, catcher,
and Hugh Wise, utility.

Russia had refused to transport Chi-

Late today It was authoritatively
stated tho Japanese government

Act On Moscow's Orders
Japanese Consul General Ohashi at
Harbin reported that the Russian of -
ficlals had acted on Moscow instruc
tions and Hst Hsla reported in effect
that the board of directors of the
railway, which Is partly Chinese and
partly Russian, ordered the destruc
tion of a bridge at Sungart( which
delayed, the troop movements, a day

CHJNKSH TURN TO RUSSIA
HARBIN, Manchuria, Jan. 29 (iP)
The Rengo (Japanese) news agency
correspondent said today that Ting
Chao, leader of one Chinese faction
in northern Manchuria, had asked
tho manager of the Chinese Eastern
rnllway to request that soviet Russia
send troops into the area between
Harbin and Klrln.

were still engaged In heavy fighting.
would train their gnins on the for
eign concession.
Meanwhile, as flames licked up a
wide- section of tho Chinese quarter
of Chapei, there were bursts of ma
chine gun fire and sharp reports of
the rifles of snipers indicating that
though the Japanese had reached
the objective they set for themselves
they were having their troubles hold
ing it.
This development come after re
ports that an armistice had been
signed were denied by both sides.
The Japanese command denied that
they had participated in any such
negotiations, but the Chinese lead
ers said Japanese consular officials
had proposed an armistice which was
rejected.
The Chinese said these officials
were merely playing for time until
they could bring up reinforcements.
This the Japanese consulate denied
also.
Edwin S. Cunningham, the Ameri
can consul general, talked to the
Chlneso mayor of Shanghai late last
night but said they had discussed
nothing of Importance. Other con-
sular officials said they knew nothing j
about the reports oi an armistice. ,
Chinese Fight Frantically I
Little groups of Chinese, fighting
frantically, were holding off the Jap
anese at several points while the
ramshackle Chinese houses blazed
around them and the crash of fall
ing walls punctuated the rattle of
gunfire.
Refugees who managed to make
their way into the International set
tlement said the Chinese casualties
since the beginning of the occupation
ran into the thousands.
The Chinese business men. in the
settlement closed their shops and
banks, and business practically was
at a standstill.
. As midnight approached fighting
was still going on at several points.
Once a Chinese band pushed across
the boundary of the international
settlement and fired on the Japan
ese military headquarters, but they
were rcpulsod after a brief skirmish.
Night of Horror
Never has there been such a night
or horror in Shanghai , those Who
watched it said.

to handle the situation.
CHAPEI AltEA MASS OP FLAMES
SHANGHAI, Jan. 20 ffl The bat
tle of the Chapel section of Bhang-
hat, which has raged practically con-
' iirma1u fclnon Innf. m I rl n I ah t. nrhnn
the Japanese invaded the city, had
become a virtual massacre today as
leaping flames and roaring air bomb
ers withered the place with destruc
tion. Onlookers who thronged the roof
tops of the buildings in Shanghai's
business section throughout the day
to watch the area become a shambles
of terror and death said the slaughter
among the 200,000 Chinese Inhabi
tants was enormous.
Japanese airplanes roared over the
spot every twenty minutes releasing
a thundering mass of bombs against
which the Chinese were powerless to
defend themselves except with their
i feeble rifles and machine guns.
It on ring Conflagration
The fire which was started by the
first bombing last night grew into
a roaring conflagration as tho attack
continued. It licked Its way through
the narrow, warren-like streets of the
mud hut and cobblestone city as a
prairie fire might attack the nests
of a colony of field mice.
Six separate conflagrations roared
their way at once. There was no one
to check them and they soon' out
stripped the military action In dan
ger, threatening to wipe out the
greater part of Chapei.
The Commercial Press building and
the railway station, against the lat
ter of which tho Japanese had di
rected several destructive bombing
attacks, were finally reached by the
flames and gutted. The 'freight sta
tion further west ward Also was blaz
ing by 5:30 p. m., and another fire,
fanned by a slight northeasterly
breeze crept dangerously close to the
international settlement.
lionib Badly Aimed
Earlier in the afternoon a badly
aimed Japanese bomb landed within
tho boundaries of the western end
of the settlement and, started a fire,
but the blaze was put out without
casualties although considerable dam
age was done.
The huge bombs which the air
planes dropped with clock-like regu
larity sent up eruptions to a height
of at least 150 feet. The sky was
partly obscured by clouds of smoke
from the fires and the airplanes
swooped down through them.
The terrified people were faced with
a dilemma of terror; They had the
choice of staying in their huts and
being burned to death or fleeing Into
the open to be shot or torn to pieces
by bursting bombs. a -
The lire department of the Interna
tional settlement was gravely alarm
ed over one of tho fires which by 6
o'clock was creeping perilously close
to tho settlement border on the north
side. Every possible preparation was
made to begin fighting it as soon as
it reached the boundary In order to
prevent Its crossing.
Printing Plant Destroyed
Tho printing plant of tho Com
mercial Press, reputed to be the larg
est In the world, was destroyed. It
turned out an enormous number of
English language books, newspapors
and magazines and millions of
books in Chinese.
Reliable reports received at 5
o'clock this afternoon Bald 2000 ad
ditional Japanese troops were on the
way to reinforce the 2000 marines
then in Chapel.
Following the bomb which fell Into
the settlement about 2 p. m. another
landed on the edge of the district,
in the residential area where many
foreigners live. These Immediately
began evacuating their homes and
moving into the settlement for pro
tection. As darkness again descended to
night it was apparent that Chapel's
ordeal was far from finished and that
another night of horror was In pros
pect for the people who have been
terror-stricken through the day by
the battle and tho fire.
Chinese workers throughout Shang
hai threatened tonight to go on a
general strike tomorrow as a protest
against the Japanese action at Chapel.
It was expected if the strike material
ized the public utilities would bo
paralyzed and that a stoppage of the
movement of foodstuffs Into the in
ternational section might create a
serious situation,
Banks Not To Open
Chinese banks also declared they
would not open tomorrow.
The Chinese chamber of commerce
declared a general strike In tho set
tlement as a protest against the Jap-i
aneso attack. Business was at a com
plete standstill.
British consular and military au
thorities viewed tho situation with
growing anxiety as the battle spread
with growing fury along tho borders
of tho settlement and Chinese troops
began to arrive In thousands from
Nanking to resist tho Japanese In
vasion, Both British and United States
authorities anxiously awaited news
from London and Washington. Sur
prise was expressed by many British
residents that there had been no word
that British warships were speeding
to Shanghai to give protection to
the foreign communities in a situa
tion, they said, that grew more dan
gerous every hour. Every bit of
avallablo man power In the settle
ment was mobilized on the borders
tLW
of the area this evening.
Ambassador W, W. Yen, Chinese
spokesman at the loague, said in In
formed circles at Geneva to be act
ing in close harmony with the United
States government, shifted his coun
try's demands for league Interven
tion today, oalling on the council to
preserve China's integrity under ar
ticles ten and lifteen of the covenant
which call for drastic action.
The Russian manager of the Chi
nese Eastern railway at Harbin, in
North Manchuria, where the Jap
anese have been endeavoring to send
troops as a result of fighting there
between Chinese factions, denied the
use of the railway to Japan for troop
transportation, on order of the. sovlot
government at Moscow.
London Anxious
London papers expressed deep anx
iety over the Shanghai situation, even
those who ordinarily support Japan's
policy toward China.
The Japanese navy department at
Tokyo ordered two more aircraft car
riers, three cruisers and a flotilla of
destroyers from the Sasebo naval base
to start for Shanghai. At Shanghai
It was reported 2000 additional Jap
anese marines were to be sent Into
the city to reinforce those already in
the Chapel section.
The Japanese foreign office began
tho preparation of a general state
ment on the situation, In which it
was expected to say Japan has no In
tention of promoting political or ter
ritorial ambitions there, but Is act
ing entirely in defense of Japaneso
citizens.
A Chinese wireless station . which
normally communicates directly with
Europe and the United States went
out of commission today when the
control lines from the international
settlement through the Chapei dis
trict wore destroyed.
Temporary Circuit Set Up
- American engineers set up a tem
porary circuit by way of Manila and
Java.
' This afternoon Japanese planes
bombed a, stretch of track on the
Shanghai iNanklne railway, bottling
up a Chinese armored train.
The break severed railway com
municatlpn with Nanking and pre
sumably cut off all telegraph and
telephone communication. Before
tho wires went down there was word
with Nanking that additional Chi
nese troops were on the way to Shang
hai. The Japaneso military attache rec
ommended that Tokyo also send up
reinforcements.
TRUCE REPORTED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (P) Through
the combined efforts of the British
and American consuls general, the
Japanese and Chinese at Shanghai
agreed to a truce to be effective at
7 a. m, (eastern standard time) -to
day.
Great relief was felt hero with ro-
celpt of news from Colonel Richard
I S. Hooker, commanding the United
oiaies marines in me liiLeniuwomu
settlement, that the embattled Jap
aneso and Chinese forces had reached
a truce.
Hooker also messaged that a meet
ing of the international defense com
mittee will bo held at 10 a., m. Jan.
30 (0 p. m. Jan. 20, eastern stand
ard time).
Colonel Hooker said concerning the
truce that in view of promises made
heretofore by both sides, the British
consul general had urged no precau
tions bo relaxed.
JAPANESE DENY TRUCK
SHANGHAI, Jan. 20 (fl1) Japanese
authorities denied tonight reports
they had signed a truce with the
Chinese.
At 11 :30 p. m more than two
hours after the reports said tho
armistice was to have gone Into ef
fect, fighting was still going on.
At that time a number of Chlneso
soldiers made their way across tho
northern boundary of the interna
tional settlement where a Japanese
detachment was watching for Just
such a move.
The Chinese attacked a Japaneso
close to the boundary and one. small
group fired on the Japaneso mill-

An Inspection of the northern

heavy machine gun fire had been

augmented with continuous rifle
fire.
Although It was impossible to de
termine the seriousness of a Chlneso
counter-attack upon Japanese head
quarters, It was widoly believed tho
observers said the Japanese wero mov
ing their headquarters nearer the set
tlement. Reports that American mission
buildings and other American prop
erties within the settlement and

Nevertheless, consular officials
