After Banquet, And They Should Know
Canada Favors 12-Mile
Zone Along Coast In
Law of Sea Conference
GENEVA, —Canada declared
its support today for the three
mile territorial limit for coastal
nations -but asked that they be
given exclusive national fishery
rights over a 12-mile water zone
along their coasts.
Canadian delegate George A.
Drew told the 87-nation confer
ence on the Law of the Sea that
Canada favors a 12 - mile zone
with both national control over
fishing, and freedom of the seas
up to three miles.
Drew said Canada sought an
international law imposing the
same restriction in her 12-mile
water belt upon trawlers from
other countries.
Drew said Canada was “sym
pathetic” to Latin American
claims of exclusive fishing rights
up to 200 miles off-coast. But he
said their approval by the con
ference was “most unlikely.” He
urged Chile, Peru and Ecuador to
accept the 12-mile zone.

NEW YORK, (5^—With explor
ers who know food best, it’s octo
pus sasebo two to one.
Twenty minutes after more
than 600 explorers from all over
the world gathered last night at
the Hotel Baltimore, there was
hardly any octopus left.
But there were still a few
cockles Brittanica, mashed mus
sels, jellied cherry blossoms, lily
bulbs sukoshi, roster combs au
vin, and lava worms glace.
And there were plenty of ants
takusan. For some reason, the
ants takusan didn’t move very
fast.
“They keep me awake nights,”
explained one explorer as he
passed over the ants.
“It’s all in your mind,” mum
bled his companion, who, being
an ants takusan man from ’way
back, piled several on his plate.
As he nibbled on the delicacy,
he sounded disturbingly as if he
were eating a light bulb.
All these goodies—plus rattle
snake fillet, fish balls a fjorde,
baby snakes blanche, muskrat
mignon, and pickled whale skin
were only the hors d’oeuvres as
the world-wanderers gathered for
the 54th annual Explorer’s Club
dinner.
For the main course, they set
tled down to a choice of whale
steak or Indian rice-stuffed phea
sant. The whale steak was deli
cious, tasting like a cross between
calves liver and beef steak all
ground into one blubbery hunk.
When it was all over, a.few
showed symptoms of acid indiges
tion.

tdger, Who PPdr'd
seball’s Longest G&me,
Succumbs To Cancer
SPOKANE, (£1 — The game of
life is over for Leon Cadore, who
pitched the longest game in major
league baseball history.
Cancer overcame the 66-year
oid Leon at Spokane’s Veterans
Administration Hospital yester
day, only six weeks after he’d
entered the institution to undergo
surgery for his ailment.
His tales and wit will be missed
by the atendants. Younger nurses
who never heard of him as a
Brooklyn Dodger know him as a
card. And the older staffers at
the hospital found he was ever
willing to tell about that longest
game.
It was May 1, 1920, in Boston.
A 28-year-old Cadore started on
the mound for Brooklyn. The
Dodgers scored in the fifth and
Boston knotted the count in the
sixth. But that’s where the run
making ended and for 20 consec
utive innings nobody crossed the
plate.
As the teams were getting
ready to start the 27th inning—
the equivalent of three full games
—the umpire called things off be
cause of darkness, after three
hours and 50 minutes.
It went into the record books
at a 1-1 tie. True, Cadore gave up |
15 hits, “But I pitched that game
with my head,” he’d say as he’d ;
finish his story the latest time.
