Tigers Defeat Red Sox, Near Second Place Rudy York's Homer Wins; Cardinals In 80th Win Os Year New York. Auk. 17. (IP) If memories of the HHo pennant race are stirriiiK In the beads of the Detroit Tigers today, practically no one should be surprised, but the front running St. Louis Bro win may be a Utile alarmed. For those who recall that lightning dash to the American league pennant in the final six weeks of the season, the present winning pace of the Detroit entry provides a “tailor-made” pattern for something similar this year. At tills juncture In 1940, the Tigers were in second place, being challenged by the third place New York Yankees and there was little doubt among baseball minds that the Cleveland Indians would breeze in. Then the Tigers applied the preamble to their "photo finish." | CORTI •— g — Last Time Tonight — I “YOU CAN’T RATION LOVE” I Betty Rhodes. Johnnie Johnston , ALSO —Three Stooges Comedy 9c-30c Inc.

With a brilliant stretch of whining baseball, they moved Into first place on Sept. 9. although they had been as low ax third on Sept. 5. Finally they took over lirxt place again on Sept. 19 and held It to the finish, winning by a two game margin. The Browns may be comforted by the knowledge that their margin at present is greater I han the Indians enjoyed over the Tigers In 1940 at this time, but it may not reassure them tu know that Detroit wax a full five and a half games In-hind as late ax Aug. 22.

Pitcher Japhet Lynn had no worries thereafter. The St. Louix Cards won their NOth game of the season with rookie Fred Schmidt fashioning a five-hit shutout over the New York Giants. It wax the earliest date hi National league history that a team had won NO games, the previous mark having been set by the Brooklyn liodgers of 1942. who reached it on Aug. 19.

French Civilians Cheer Liberators Invaders Os South France Are Hailed By Dana Adams Schmidt United Press War Correspondent < Representing combined Allied Press! Three miles inland on road from Ste. Maxlme and Plan De La Tour, France Aug. IS — (Delayed) — | (UP)—French men. women and children stood in front of their. houses along thia road last night l and thia morning weeping, laughing. throwing kisses and cheering their liberators. I moved inland with the first French troops landing in southern France. All along the way the civilians shouted happily: "The liberators. Ix>ng live France. Go get those Boches. Things will Ih> better now." French units mingled with Americans and shared bottles of goo<i red wine which the villagers passed up to the truckloads of soldiers. The first Frencn > fvllian I saw was standing in front of a waterfront house which had (seen ruined by the pre-lnvaaien naval barrage. He alternately embraced the French soldiers and thrust out a bottle of wine. “You Frenchmen, drink" he urged. "I have lost everything but It doesn t matter. Viva lat France! Drink! Drink" I did not get a swig from that I bottle. It was for Frenchmen only. Many women in shorts rode calmly by on bicycles, weaving through the lines of jeeps ami trucks. Civilians were scarcer near the invasion beaches around which four out of five houses had been destroyed or damaged by preparatory shelling. This was an Invasion de luxe and a dry landing for moat of the Americans and French and thia correspondent. When I went ashore from a British luxury liner at 8 o'clock last night, troops were flowing from the landing ships onto the beaches where wire netting made a firm roadway leading through breaches blasted In six feet high, five feet wide cement anti-tank walla onto the tarred coastal highway. , Only once In the course of the evening and night was there a sign of Germans. That was early in the evening when two Nasi sneak raiders tossed bomba harmlessly into the bay and provoked a brief fire. Later about ISO silent German prisoners were marched out of the darkness like sheep, guarded by a few Americans and they settled quietly at the edge of the beach for the night waiting to be shipped back to prisoner of war ramps. - - American Surgeon Is Dead Chicago.
