Detroit Hands Yankees 100 Loss Tuesday New York, Sept. 5 —(UP)— H was almost quiet enough to hear a bomb drop in the Detroit dressing room, but in all the bedlam following a 10 to 0 victory over the Yankees there wasn’t one word about a pennant. The cheering was for Paul (Dizzy) Trout, whose eeven-hit moundcraft silenced the Y’ankee bats and Hank Greenberg and Roger (Doc) Cramer, whose booming homers paced the 15-hit attack. The victory boosted their lead to two-and-a-balf games, widest margin they have enjoyed in nearly three weeks. Pennant talk is Taboo in a race as tight as the American league stretch drive and besides the Tigers had won only one game in a series of seven. But there was back-slapping, exchanging of compliments, and other evidences of confidence.

Trout’s return to form was a big morale booster because the pitching staff is weakened badly tor the six remaining games in ths all-important series with the Yankees. The big winner, lefty Hal Newhouser, still is in Detroit with a side injury. Even if he pitches in the series, he may not be in top form. Alton Benton, a sensation early in the season is in a slump. He failed to finish his last six starts and has gone without a victory since Aug. 6. Little Tommy Bridges, “tickled to death to be back in uniform—l mean a baseball uniform, injured the long finger oa his pitching hand in his first appearance since leaving the army. That spreads the staff pretty thin, leaving only Frank (Stubby) Overmire, Les Mueller, Zeb Eaton, Jim Tobin and George Caster, most of whom are relief pitchers. The Tigers made all their hits off starter Allen Gettel. Trout touched off the offensive with a single which drove in the first rua. But they could do nothing for three-and-a-third innings against 43-year-old Paul Schreiber, who took over as a Yankee hurler. The second place Cardinals blew a chance to gain on the leading Cubs in the National when th jy played to an 8 to 8 tie in 12 innings in their final game of the season with Pittsburgh. The game was called when the Pirates had to leave to catch a train just before the Cardinals batted in the 12th. The game was wiped from the books since the teams do not meet again.’ There were no other major league games. Yesterday’s Star —Paul (Dizzy) Trout of the Tigers who won his third shutout of the season, 10 to 0 against the Yankees, whose last four defeats have been blankings.

Lido, Italy, Sept. S—(UP5 —(UP) —The t attendant warned the sportswriterg seeking a swim that there were c plenty of land mines along the beach inshore from a fence which had been erected to protect soldier swimmers, so needless to say the sportswriters stayed outside the fence. The fence Tuns along the beach about 60 feet from the slumbering blue waters of the Tyrrhenean sea. There were no mines in the water because the Germans concentrated their explosives on the land where they expected the Allies to make au invasion. The only catch was that the allies never invaded the beach amj many of the land mines behind the fence still are implanted. This amazed the Germans since Lido is only 25 miles south of Rome. Lido once was Rome's swankiest seaside resort. Mussolini reportedly fell in love with one of his earlier mistresses here. It now is badly bomb-scarred, particularly along the black sand beach front. An attendant explained that the sand is black because the area was largely volcanic. The long sloping beach enables bathers to go out nearly a hundred yards before the water gets head high. Your reporter, floating lazily on his back, suddenly was startled to see a crude craft the size of a lifeboat loom nearby. It had a crew of eight and a large net. Six of the men in the boat jumped out and caught me in tho het. They beached me. Then the fishermen, using the net which was made of old German telephone lines, went back again and seized 23 "Agullahs,” a small .lUn-beaked fi»h MMaibUßt mWia-

Four Persons Killed In Railway Accident Arcadia, Calif., Sept. S—(UP)5 —(UP) Volunteer rescue crews fought today to extricate dead and dying from the twisted coach of the SanIla Fe’r, ■California Limited, derailed when it split a switch near the fashionable Santa Anita race track. Santa .Fe officials said four persons w’ere killed and 35 injured I when the crowded 17-coach tourist, |the limited second section, train left the track last night. Hospitals in the area, however, reported treating more than 100 injured, and unofficial estimates raised the toll to a possible ix or eight dead.

A partial list of dead included Victor Hugo Schroeder, 41. BoulIder, Colo.; Nobuo Itano, 57, a Jap-1 lanese from La Habra, Calif., and ■ another unidentified male Japanese. A brakeman, unaccounted for, also was believed dead. » The accident occurred at 7:15 last night when the Chicago-bound train, traveling behind two engines, pulled into a siding to pass a part of the main line that was under repair. I Both engines overturned, a boiler exploded, two baggage cars and two coaches piled up. and three coaches toppled on to their sides when the weight of the train split , the switch behind the second engine. ,

The second passenger coach sliced through the first crosswise at the junction es the tracks, giving rise to early reports that two •trains had been involved. At an early hour today, volunteers worked with acetylene torches to free passengers from the wreckage of the first day coach, where most of the casualties occurred. One elderly woman, her leg crushed and her head injured, moaned constantly as she lay pinned in the car for five hours before rescuers could reach her. Injections of blood plasma kept her alive. Another woman was trapped for three hours before che was extricated. A number of passengers, suffering from shock, wandered dazedly in the acres of oaks of the “lucky” Baldwin es’ate bordering the railroad right-of-way.

Divorce Granted In Circuit Court A divorce was granted by Judge j J. Fred Fruchte in Adams circuit court today to Margaret Dierkes from Diederich (Dee) Dierkes, on her cross complaint. The court also restored her maiden name, Margaret E. Walters. No Party Friday At Moose Home Announcement was made today that the party scheduled to be held at the Moose home Friday evening has been cancelled because of reI decorating work in the lodge room.

The accident was investigated by Sheriff Leo Gillig(Chlcago’B new $22,000,000 filtration p i an t on Lake Michigan, now under construction, will be the largest nnre water plant in‘the country. ’ o ARMY INCREASES (Continued From Page One) men the army could get through such volunteer methods. On the demobilization end, chairman James M. Mead, D„ N. Y ■. of the powerful war investigating committee said he was glad the army had “at last” reduced the automatic discharge age to 35 and lowered pbfnt scores to 80. The new army standards for sending men overseas do not affect the revised discharge agepoint system announced Sunday. With three exceptions affecting only a few hundred men all solddiers who meet the new qualifications will be screened out of Units ■scheduled for redeployment. No individual soldier who meets them will be sent overseas as an individual replacement. The May 12 point table will be used to determine eligibility until the recomputation of points up to Sept. 2 ordered Sunday can be completed. Then a revised screening point score for overseas duty will be announced. The war department said the new screening plan will help save shipping space by eliminating tfie transportation overseas of men who might serve only a short time before eligible for discharge. The exemptions are enlisted men scheduled for jobs in civil government in occupied countries and enlisted men assigned to headquarters of the 7th and 18th corps, both scheduled for immediate departuie.
