Whether there was a naval battle or battles off the Brazilian coast still was not determined today but resi dents or towns along the Brazilian hump insisted they heard the sounds of heavy cannonading at sea and saw smoke from a ship during the week-end.

I have Just seen a pitcher lose a world aeries game on a perfect third strike. Not only a perfect third strike but a perfect third strike In the ninth Inning when two were down.

Here are the facts, and they will be remembered and discussed long after all of us have gone to our reward and spend our days taking harp lessons and being fitted for wings: Trie scene Ebbets field. The time, the first half of the ninth Inning of the fourth game of the world series. Brooklyn ahead 4 to I. Two Yanks away. Tommy Heinnch batting and Hugh Casey pitching With two strikes on Heinrich.

Caary throws a perfect curve that ruts the middle. As Heinrich swings and misses the crowd jumps to its feet to applaud its heroes. Policemen run toward the field to guard the diamond. For a split second Brooklyn has won the game and the series is tied at S-all Then for a reason that only the fates who pull the strings on us humans know the ball spins out nf the hands of Catcher Mickey Owen of the Brooks and rolls tows rd the stands. Hemnch makes It1 to first base and the Yankees, given a reprieve from the governor, rise up and strike.

To the dismay of everyone In the park yes. to the dismay of even the Yankee rooters the Bronx Bombers go to work. You know the details by now. DiMBfrpio singles. Keller doubles.

Dickey walks. Cordon doubles and the ball game the Brooklyn had won is If it had to happen perhaps It is fitting that it happened in Ebbets field for lo these many years the scene of the most fantastic, unbelievable baseball occurrences. It was at Ebbets field that.men hrt triples only to have them converted into double plays, that outfielders played fly balls off their heads, and the art of stealing a base already occupied was brought to glorious perfection. This is being written without a visit to the Brooklyn dressing room. I purposely passed up a visit there.

I didnt want to have to talk to Owen, one of the finest boy in the game, and one. who, until that strike got by him. was one of the unsung but standout players of the series. I didnt want to see Casey. What a touch one for hirn, Yesterday he was the goat four straight hits off him.

They booed him when he came in to relieve French today. But he hung on. gallantly, and had a world aeries game in his grasp well, he had it won only 10 lose it on a 1.000.000 to 1 shot. I saw MacPhail. though.

An attempt to land strong soviet forces west of Leningrad, supported by the fire of the entire Kronstadt fortress, ships and coastal artillery, was completely crushed yesterday through the determined action of German troops." Germans Deny Gains The Russian move on the outside of the Leningrad siege lines apparently was timed with a thrust from the but tne oermans that too, was shattered with heavy and bloody losses" for the Russians. "Troops which were landed were wiped out or taken prisoner." the communique went on. "Several fully laden ships were sunk and 22 tanks.

including seven of super-heavy types were destroyed. On Germany's air fronts, the high command announced a Russian port on the sea of Azov was bombed, along with an Important traffic Junction west of Moscow and mill tary objectives In Leningrad, a ton British vessel was sunk 250 miles west of Brest, and British military emplacements were bombed in the Shetland islands. In north Africa German bombers assailed Tobruk two nights ago and struck again at the Suez roadstead. the high command said. So far as Germany and Britain themselves were directly concerned, the rival air forces were inactive or only reconnoiterlng last night.

If Moscow is the major goal of the new German drive. Hitler might augment it by shifting some of the Leningrad siege forces if he is convinced that the Russians can be contained there. Some London war observers were inclined to ask whether the indicated Moscow push were not part of an elaborate sham to cover up the failure to take Leningrad "with the overwhelming swiftness" of which the high command once boasted. London commentators expressed belief there was small chance of immediate change In the siege and defense of Odessa on the Black sea a city long since bypassed by the Germans' drive through the Ukraine. Continued fierce German pressure toward the Donets basin and Kharkov in the eastern Ukraine was acknowledged, but the subsidiary attempt to break into Crimea through the Perekop isthmus was said to have been eased by Russian counterattacks on the German flank there.

Today's cap sheaf in the now dally crop of reports on unrest or actual rebellion among the- German-conquered people of Europe was the Berlin radio's announcement that Otakar Klapka. mayor of Prague, had been executed for plotting a rebellion in the reich's Czech protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia. A Sequel The sentence against him was a sequel to a similar verdict against; the protectorate Premier" Alois Ellas whose appeal to the mercy of Adolf Hitler, so far as is known, still has not been decided. Dispatches from Prague to Buda- i pest said that synagogues in that protectorate capital had been closed by the Germans on charges that Jews had taken a special part in the wave of Czech unrest. The synagogues were called meeting places for "aggressive influences." In German-occupied France the execution of still another Frenchman.

Rene Darreau of Vendome. was announced. Some 70 Frenchmen now have gone before the firing squad, either as hostages or as the principals in military and political offenses against the occupying power. Darreau was convicted of possessing a revolver and 10 cartridges and it was said he had distributed anti-German leaflets. He was shot Saturday.

An implication of the middle eastern scope which Britain anticipates in the war came from Prime Minister Churchill in a message read before the opening session of the Indian national defense council at Simla. During 1942 the armies of India, with their British comrades, will be fighting on a long front from the Caspian to the Nile." it said. The British commander in India, Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell.

who haa Just completed a tour of this link to the left flank of the Rus sians, read the message for Chur chill. Italy's principal contribution to the day's war reports was an announcement relayed that the Brit-j lsh aircraft carrier Ark Royal had been torpedoed by an Italian sub marine "shortly after a recent bat tle in the Mediterranean." Carrying on the line laid down by Adolph Hitler last Friday when he enigmatically told a Sportspalast audience and the world about a "gigantic new development which began in the last 48 hours." semi official sources in Berlin began to speak of a new turn. Dienst a us Deutscniana, a com mentary close to the German foreign office, indicated the character of the development but gave no hint of its direction. While the Germans were talking thus about a new turn In the war and their high command was claiming the capture of 12.000 more Rus sian prisoners In the southern Ukraine, Russians declared their Red armies were in stronger positions than at any time since the beginning of the invasion, now in Its 16th week. Reds Claim Gains The Russians also claimed their armies had rolled back the German besiegers of Leningrad as much as two to three miles at some points and had pushed forward at least 21 miles on the southwestern sector-in the Ukraine.

The Germans claimed the capture of the little Russian-held island of Abruka, three miles south of the recently captured island of Oesel off the Estonian coast. Russia officially replied to Adolf Hitler's Friday claims of heavy Red casualties by calling the Fuehrer's figures "fantastic and delirious data" and charging that he was "afraid of telling the truth" on German losses to the German people. Here are Russian losses as announced by Alexander Shcherbakov, director of the Soviet Information bureau: 1.128.000 casualties 230.000 men killed. 720.000 wounded. 178.000 missing: 7.000 tanks; 8400 guns, and 5,316 planes.
