The crowd as a unit hunched forward in their seats, took a deep breath and hissed and booed every- one, especially abusing “Red” Shaw, who stoically called balls and strikes while the fans howled, “I wish my brother were here,” and “Don’t bawl him out, he just can't see.” Wilkins Starts Bad Wilkins, the Elks pitcher, got off to a bad start, with Douglas gei- ting three runs off him in the first inning.

You know the rest of the story In Finland Russia chose De- cember. Finland has been invaded eight times, you see, and eve: time, the atfacking force chose December. It's the one time the lake ice is frozen deep enough to hold up marching columns, At other times, an invading army could be cut up, and its units beaten by guerillas. Dame Nature almost beat the Russians, because she sent the worst package of weather in 350 years to northern Europe, In Scandinavia, the Germans are playing the weather to the hilt, and the law of averages, too. Usually, the fog closes in 40 percent of the time along the coast of Norway at this time of year. Add to that some 10 hours of darkness in every 24, and you have increased hiding time for German transports and naval units —perhaps up to 60 percent of the time That's just what the Germans want to slip past the British fleet. German ships navigate along the Norwegian coast only during fog or darkness. When the weather FOG FAVORS GERMANS Now that Germany has her armed forces in command of land positions at Trondheim, Oslo, Ber- gen, Stavanger, Kristiansand, and other points, she has the drop on both naval and aerial forces be- cause of the fog. And for an at- tacking army, the roads are ter- rific—all slush, now freezing, now thawing.
