DERRINGER AND NEWSOM OPEN

Capacity Crowd Watches Reds and Tigers Shoot Works for the Title.

CROSLEY FIELD, CINCINNATI, Oct. 8 (U. P.).— Cincinnati's Reds came from ‘behind to defeat Detroit's Tigers for the world’s baseball championship. The score was 2 to 1. Two arm-weary veteran righthanders were the starting pitchers in this seventh “payoff” game. Bobo Newsom. winner of two previous series games, was the Tiger starter, with only one day's rest. Paul Derringer, routed in the first game and winner of the fourth, opened for Cincinnati, with two days’ .rest.

Werber Shines Again Both teams came out swinging

was no damage in the first two innings. A fine play by Billy Werber, the Reds’ third baseman and Series hero to date, pulled Derringer out of the soup in the second. Hank Greenberg led off with a single.

run and fired it to first to nose out iRudy by.a half step. Campbell hit to Derringer and Greenberg was run down between second and third, and Higgins rolled out to end the threat. Jimmy Wilson, the 40-year-old Cincinnati catcher who was so stiff he hardly could walk this morning, provided the day’s first thrill in the second inning. He singled. As Newsom started to pitch to Joost, old Jimmy broke for second base and got away with the steal standing up. The crowd roared. But Joost rolled out to end the inning.

Detroit Scores First

Detroit broke the scoring ice in the third inning “hero” Werber was the goat. Billy Sullivan opened with a single and moved to second on Newsom’s sacrifice. Bartell popped out and McCosky walked. Charley Gehringer, on a two-and-two count, got a single off | Werber's glove and when Billy threw wildly to first trying for the | play, Frank McCormick couldn't i get the ball and Sullivan raced home all the way from second. After pitching three balls to Greenberg, Derringer bore down and struck the big boy out.

Both Miss Scoring Chances

Cincinnati muffed a scoring chance in the third. Myers led off with a single but Derringer popped out trying to sacrifice. Werber forced Myers and then Mike MecCormick struck out for the second straight time. Detroit also kicked away an opportunity in the fourth. With. two out, Higgins doubled. Sullivan walked. Then Newsom smashed one which hit Higgins on the leg as he raced toward third and it was an automatic out,

Tigers Fail in Sixth

Derringer pitched himself out of a hole in the sixth. Greenberg led off with a single. York popped out and Campbell walked. Higgins forced | Campbell, but the Tiger third baseman beat Myers’ double-play throw to first by a whisker. Greenberg moved to third. Sullivan, a dangerous clutch hitter, sent a hot roller down the firstbase line. F. McCormick dropped to his knees, picked up the ball and beat Sullivan to the bag to retire the side. Cincinnati took over the lead for ihe first time in the seventh inning. Frank McCormick got the rally under way with a rousing double to deep center. Jimmy Ripple picked out a good one and slammed it into deep right field. It looked like a home run, but (Continued on Page Three)

P.).—An all-American fighter command, the Eagle squadron, formed in the tradition of the famed Lafayette Escadrille of the World War, soon will take the air with the Royal Air Force, Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair announced today.

COMMUNISTS BARRED FROM STATE BALLOT

Board to Withhold Reasons Unless Suit Is Filed.

By EARL RICHERT

The State Election Board today denied the Communist Party a place on the November election ballot. Fred Gause, Republican board ‘member, saifl that the Board had decided not to make public its reasons but that they would be brought out if the Communists should file suit 'against the ruling. The decision was reached after a 15-minute executive session and was unahimous. Governor Townsend, Board chairman, who was speaking in Minnesota today, had given his

“| proxy to H. Edwin Smith, the other

Democrat on the Board. It was pointed out at yesterday's public hearing that the Com-

.|munist Party could be denied a

place on the ticket only if the

cated the overthrow of the present form of Government or if there were an insufficient number of signatures accompanying the request for a place on the ballot. The Communist Party’s petition contained over 7000 signatures. Officials of the Party could not. be reached for comment. Board members pointed out that this was not the first time a political party had been denied a place on | the ballot in Indiana. The Socialists were divided into two groups several years ago, and neither was allowed on the ballot, Mr. Gause said. The Greenback Party was denied (Continued on Page Three)

WILLKIE DARES TAMMANY AREA

Ramparts of Flynn Next; Assails ‘Petty Hitlers’ In Newark Speech. By CHARLES T. LUCEY

Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—Wendell Willkie, ' storming the ramparts of Tammany, of Boss Flynn of the Bronx and Boss Hague of New Jersey, has turned his campaign away from philosophic generality to an incisive attack on the New Deal and its ties with political brigandage. This morning he toured Manhattan borough of New York City, the

territory of Tammany, but a different Tammany, from the storied one. Its last elected Mayor, James J. Walker, resigned while then Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt was holding hearings on charges against him, and it has had no part in municipal government since 1932, keeping alive on state and Federal patronage. Mr. Willkie planned six speeches today. After speaking in the garment district, he'll speak before the monument to Father Duffy, World War chaplain, on Broadway, make a radio talk to New York women over a state radio network at 1:15 p. m. (Indianapolis Time), speak twice in Harlem, and speak tonight in Bronx borough and on a nation(Continued on Page Seven) °

HINT MARINES MAY BE TAKEN OUT OF CHINA

State Department Acts as British Envoy Tells Fear Of ‘General Crisis.’

WASHINGTON, Oct." 8 (U. P.).—The United States today advised Americans to return home from the Far East and the British Ambassador here said ‘that his nation feared a “general las in that area. State Department officials indicated that consideration might be given soon to the question of whether to withdraw U. S. Marines from China. The State Dipartimns precautionary advice to leave while the

leaving is good applied to Americans in Japan, Korea, Manchukuo, China, Hongkong, Formosa and -IndoChina. No mention was made of Americans in the Netherlands East Indies, the Philippines or other areas. The action was confirrhed here by the State Department shortly before Secretary of State Cordell Hull conferred with Japanese Ambassador Kensuke Horinouchi, who described the talk as friendly.

Lothian and F.D. R, Confer

Subsequently, President Roosevelt conferred with British Ambassador Lord Lothian. Lothian, disclosed he had planned to fly to London today, but had canceled the plan because of expected trouble in the Far East. Lothian said he had received instructions from the British Foreign Office. “They think there may be a general crisis in the Far East,” he explained. “Under those circumstances they told me I'd better stay on the job.” Lothian indicated that the crisis was expected to stem from British plans to reopen the Burma Road to China on Oct. 17. The road had been closed at Japan's request, but British officials at Tokyo informed the Japanese Government that the order closing the Burma route would not be renewed after its expiration. The decision pleased pfficials here, who had opposed the Slosing in the first place.

Fleets Disposition Studied

The President had a luncheon meeting with Admiral James O. Richardsen, commander of the United States fleet, and Admiral William. D. Leahy, retired former chief of naval operations who is now Governor of Puerto Rico. The day’s diplomatic activity and Admiral Richardson’s presence at the luncheon indicated all aspects of the Far Eastern situation, including the disposition of the fleet, were being studied thoroughly. There has been | considerable speculation on the possible use of the British fleet base at Singapore by U. S. naval forces—an actiton which Japan has said in advance would be considered inimical.

LONDON, BERLIN DEALT HAVOC IN WAR OF BOMBS

Three Main Power Stations Reported Hit in Five-Hour Raid on German Capital; Big Berthas Bombard English Shore.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS. United Press Foreign News Editor

Americans in the Far East today were advised to return home because of mounting tension and London and Berlin traded the heaviest air raids of the war last night and early today, a preliminary to an expected Axis blow .in the Balkans and Middle East. The State Department warning went to Americans in Japan, China, Manchukuo, Indo-China, Korea, Formosa and Hongkong. At the same time the British Ambassador in Washington declared that his nation feared a ‘general crisis” in that area. > In the House of Commons, Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned that Germany has massed 1,200,000 crack troops in northern France and possesses sea transport for 500,000 of them.

Hints British Expeditionary Force

He said that at the present rate of bombings it would take Germany 10 years to lay half of London in ruins, but added that before that decade ‘passes “a lot of things are going to happen to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.” He hinted Britain might launch an expeditionary force of her own. Churchill placed British casualties in the mass air war at 8500 killed and 13,000 wounded; admitted damage to a British battleship in the battle of Dakar; made a friendly, gesture toward Spain; revealed that British forces in the Middle East and elsewhere have been reinforced, and suggested that the tri-power military alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan carried secret clauses of advantage to the latter, He added that the pact obviously was directed against the United States and Russia. ; The German air attack“on London was ferocious. It was matched only by the Royal Air Force assault on Berlin which was the longest of the war and caused at least 20 casualties. : Berlin Attacked for Five Hours The British Air Ministry reported more than 100 heavy bombs were hurled at the German capital’s three main power stations, and freight yards at Tempelhof were set afire. British planes roared over Berlin for nearly five hours. Berlin residents saw huge fires spring up and heard the crunch of heavy bombs and a coniinons roar of anti-zir-craft fire. At one time five great fires raged in Berlin. Some of these still burned two hours after they had started. German sources admitted that warehouses and railroads were hit and claimed to have brought down one British bomber. Berlin was not the only target of the R. A. F. Another blow was aimed at the great Fokker aircraft works in Ame sterdam which was attacked for the second time within a week. The invasion coast of France and the Low Countries was spattered with bombs.

Bombs Fall on London All Night Other squadrons attacked the Wilhelmshaven naval base and the great network of railroad communications which feeds and Suppies the German advanced forces in northern France. The German assault on London apparently was more ferocious than any of the long series since mass bombing of the great city started 32 days ago. German bombs fell throughout the night. Then after

War: Moves Today

By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert

Reopening the Burma Road should make no ese sential difference to the military situation in China, The Japanese shave anticipated the possible effect by establishing air bases on the French Indo-China frontier, whence their airmen ought easily to be able to bomb Chinese sections of the Burma Road, 200 miles away. The British action is a renewed gesture of Syme pathy for China, but there is no military reason for the Japanese to consider the move as a belligerent act. The Japanese may be said to command the Burma Road from the air, and even if this were not so, shipments of munitions to China through Burma cannot be in major quantities. - The war in Europe demands that most. war supplies be kept there, Tokyo did not regard the previous use of the Burma supply route as

To change that attitude now would not be consistent with the Japanese sense of realism, since Japan's air force has just obtained a position where the Dn Road can be outflanked.
