Louisville, St. Paul Win Playoff Openers By United Press Tlm Milwaukee Brewers, i plagued by bad luck in the initial game of the American association im -—t — —a m>e:i i e'd on the way io repeat their performance ! of the past two seasons when ! they won the pennant but were ! denied a place in the “little world | series." The Brewers, who secured Hie association title with a two and a half game lead over the Indianapolis Indians, were humbled, !• to 1, last night by the third place Louisville club. Tile Colon els, behind the eight-hit pitching of Rex. Cecil, staged a 12-hit .scoria.;- attack, featuring seven runs in the fourth inning. Milwaukee's Julio Acosta was charged with the defeat. In the lower bracket of the I

post season playoffs, St. Paul went ; I 10 innings to eke out a 2 to 1 ( triumph over Indianapolis. Tlm final playoff will be be- | tween tlm two teams winning four | i th' seven games in the opening I : series, the winner of the final j : pairings meeting the International I ! league representative in the 1 I little world series."

Chicago Bears Lose To Redskins, 14-7 Chicago, Sept. 12— (UP) -The Chicago Bears returned to the practice field today to cure severe case of but terfinger - which led to their defeat last nigh: by the Washington Redskins. 14 to 7, in a national football league exhibition game before 26,000 fans at : Soldiers field. An alert Redskins defense turn-! ed one of the Bears’ fumles into i Hie game-winning touchdown while! the other numerous bobbles merely ' gummed up the Bear.-’ T-altack, ’ once the most dangerous in football. Even the presence of Sid Lucktnan, footballs number 1 quarterback, failed to cure the Bears' sloppy ball handling as they made their 1945 debut. Tiie score was tied 7 to 7 with ! less than four minutes to play: when the Redskins recovered end i Connie Mack Berry'- fumble ou the end of a completed pass from Luckman. Fullback Frank Atkins ripped off 48 yards to the Bears’ 16. Four plays later he plunged over witli the winning touchdown and Joe Aguirre at end converted. ine Redskins, trounced in their I first exhibition game last week by I Hie Cleveland Rams, 21-0, opened ' Hie score m tin first quarter when ; end Larry Weldon intercepted one iof Luckman's 21 passes on the • Bear 30-yard line. Six plays later 'halfback Bib Seymour smashed lover from the five yard iTtripe and I Aguirre added 'he extra point for | a 7-0 lead. Tiie Bears tied up Hie score in

| i he first seven minutes of the third Quarter after Henry Margarita re- . turned the opening kickoff 39 ( yards to his own 40. Luckman toss- j ed 2 i yard, to Tipp Mooney and . three plays later fullback Jim ( Fordham went -ver from the three- ( yard line. ( Cards Face Loss Os First String Catcher St. Louis, Sept. 12—(UP) The; jSt. Louis Cardinals, running sec-1 ond in the stretch drive for the I jNational League pennant, today : [faced the loss of Ken O’Dea, first { ■string catcher. 1 The Cardo’ physician, Dr. Rob-j tert Hyland, said O'Dea would be hospitalized for, treatment of a sciatic nerve pain in his left leg unless he responded to heat treatments.

Pickets Are Removed From Magnavox Plant Early Settlement Os Strike is Seen Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 12. --; (VP) Both company officials of! the Magnavox plant and union rep-! resentatives. of local 910, United I Electrical, radio and machine work- { ers of America said today that new { hope for early settlement of the I | 18-day old strike at the plat was i seen. These statements followed the: ) surprise move yesterday of local , 910. UERMA when it agreed in I j V.

Two Youths Admit Theft Os Airplane 14-Year-O!d Lads Held At Chesterton Valttaraiso. Ind . Sept 12—I LB) Two Chesterton boys who flew a small civilian plane 40 miles irom Valparaiso to South Bend by Hashlight in the early morning darkness yesterday, faced a itearing today Tn Porter county juvenile court. G. 1,. Burns. Porter county pro- ! seeuting attorney, said warrants ! would be issued for Ronald Sma'- ' ley, 15. and Richard Eenters, 14, on ! charges of incorrigibility and deI linquency by reason of vehicle taki ing. He said they would be in court ! Eriday. Smalley, the pilot, learned to fly while he visited at Lake Wawasee. I Ind., this summer, authorities said He had no permit to operate a plane, however. Valparaiso airport manager Claude Lindbergh said Smalley and Eenters hid in the hangar until it had been locked tor the night Mon [ day, unlocked it from the inside shortly after midnight, “borrowed" the plane and took off in the dark. Their only light was the beam I from a flashlight, they told police. Lindbergh said he was aroused by a barking dog and discovered the theft. Chesterton residents reported having heard the unlighted plane cruising the countryside. The plane was sought for several hoirs before it was reported at the South Bend airport. The hoys said they spotted the South Bend putt by its lights and chose it for a landing field because they were nearly out of gas. "It’s a wonder they weren’t killed." A. J. Behrens, South Bend, civil aeronautics administration inspector said in commenting on their perfect landing. He said th" Sopth Bend control operator called to them because they had no lights. They left the fieid without answering, took a train to Tremont and hitchhiked home where, they were apprehended later in the day. The plane was owned by the I Chesterton Aero Club. CIO Steel Workers I Demand Pay Boosts Two Million Daily Increase Demanded Pittsburgh, Sept. 12 —(VP) — Pay boosts of $2,000,000 a day were demanded today by the CIO I'nited Steel Workers of America in organized labor s first campaign to raise wages above wartime The USW sent registered letters to SG basic steel manufacturers demanding that the producers meet with the union Sept. 25 to discuss a $2 a day increase for 1,000.000 steel workers. The demand was the union's answer to President Truman s plea that reconversion be speeded I by creating more jobs through ; increased purchasing power. The j USW demands would increase the purchasing power of the steel workers and their families by $520,000,000 a year. Philip Murray, president of the CIO and the steel union, said the union’s 240-inemher wage policy committee decided yesterday to ask incorporation of the increase in existing contracts. The union’s action, Murray said. ' was the spearhead of a nationwide drive to increase the mass purchasing power to assure a de- ! cent standard of living. “This increase will not cause an increase in the price of steel,” Murray said. “This is in line with the limits set by Hie WT.B on wage control. However, we hold no regard for the WLB interests our primary concern is the needs-of the steel workers." Existing steel workers con- ! I rads have more than a year to run, but most of them provide for tile opening of wage negotiations ' upon 30 days' notice. Murray said negotiations would | be greatly expedited because the j ’ wage demand was the only issue involved. He banned discussion of Hie union’s no-strike pledge until after another policy com- I mittee meeting today. The steel workers won their last wage jump in July 1942, when they were granted 5% cents per hour. A demand for 17% cents an hour, was turned down by the WLB last November, when the government agency permitted some "fringe benefits” under the I little steel formula. The little steel formula limited all increases to a total of 15 percent over the January. 1941, levels. The “fringe benefits” last year were chiefly differentials for second and third shift workers. "With wages practically frozen during the war the steel workers have been faced with a steadily rising cost of living which seriously undermined their living standards,” Murray said. Murray said the little steel formula was scrapped the minute President Truman reopened col-

lective bargaining on wages between unions and employers. V-J has meant a drastic reduction in working time and a severe loss in take-home pay. Murray said, • — o Two Traffic Wrecks Reported By Police Two traffic accidents, entailing property damage hut no personal injurim, were reported today by Ed P. Miller, Decatur police chief. Damage esiimaled at S4OO was caused to cars driven by Janies Strickler ami Janies Heare. both of the Homesteads, when the autos collided at Russell and Bollman streets last evening. Three ear.- figured in a collision on Monroe street, just west of Second s;reel, at 8:45 o'clock ‘this morning. Cars involved were a Covingion Cannery Co. truck of Covington, 0., driven by Kenneth Peters of Covington, by Amt K. Mead of Poneto and a parked car, owned by Henry Graber of this ci'y. 12 Freed Prisoners Missing In Crash Manila, Sept. 12 (UP)— Twelve newly liberated Allied prisoners of war are mittsing after the crash
