THE STATE JOURNAL, LANSING, MICHIGAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1941 McLEMORE Concluded from Page One watched the most fantastic thing ever to happen in baseball, or in any sport for that matter. I have just seen a pitcher lose rorid series game on third strike. Not only a perfect third strike but perfect third strike in the ninth inning when two were down. Here are the facts, and they will be remembered and discussed long after all of us have gone to our reward and spend our days taking harp lessons and being fitted for wings: The scene Ebbets field. The time, the first half of the ninth inning of the fourth game of the world series.

Brooklyn ahead 4 to 3. Two Yanks away. Tommy Heinrich batting and Hugh Casey pitching With two strikes on Heinrich, Casey throws a perfect curve that cuts the middle. As Heinrich swings and misses the crowd Jumps to its feet to applaud its heroes. Policemen run toward the field to guard the diamond.

For split second Brooklyn has won the came and the series is tied at 2-all. Then--for a reason that only the fates who pull the strings on us humans know -the ball spins out of the hands of Catcher Mickey Owen of the Brooks and rolls ward the stands. Heinrich makes it to first base and the Yankees, given a reprieve from the governor, rise up and strike. To the dismay of everyone in the to the dismay of even Part Yankee rooters the Bronx Bombers go to work. You know the details by now.

DiMaggio singles, Keller doubles. Dickey walks, Gordon doubles and the ball game the Brooklyns had ron is lost. it had to happen perhaps 1t is fitting that it happened in Ebbets field -for lo these many years the scene of the most fantastic, unbelievable baseball occurrences. It was at Ebbets field that hit triples only to have them converted into double plays, that fielders played fly balls off their heads. and the art of stealing a base already occupied was brought to glorious perfection.

This is being written without visit to. the Brooklyn dressing room. I purposely passed up a visit there. I didn't want to have to talk to Owen, one of the finest boys in the game, and one, who, until that strike got by him, was one of the unsung but standout players of the series. I didn't want to see Casey.

What touch one for him, Yesterday he was the goat -four straight hits of! him. They booed him when he came in to relieve French today. But he hung on, gallantly, and had world series game in his he had it wonto lose it on a 1.000.000 to 1 shot. I saw MacPhail. though.

You know, tough, hard-bitten Larry, the man who eats nails and kicks puppies. Well, maybe he is that tough. but he cried openly after that ball game. It was that tough a game to lose, DOTE by MeNaught Syndicate Inc.J SENATE Concluded from Page One however. WAS believed to side with Connally in favoring compiete overhaul of the existing law.

Once the White House cations go to Capitol Hill, the prospert is uncertain. do not know what is going to happen." remarked Senator Nye (R) of North Dakota. an opponent of administration foreign policy, "but I do know what happened to Wilson's bill. History could repeat it- On the other hand. Senator Clark (Di of Missouri, a consistent "noninterventionist." told reporters that he had no intention of participating in a filibuster.

An Associated Press poll showed 29 senators in favor of repealing the neutrality law or amending it to permit American ships to be armed and FO anywhere: six in favor of arming the ships: 20 opposed to any change in the law: 18 desiring more time for studs, and 23 out of Washington or unavailable. There was general agreement that group of 20 senators could indefinitely delay and perhaps even defeat any change in the law if they were determined to filibuster. The question of endless-talk opposition strategy was expected to be decided at meeting of administration opponents this week. ACCIDENTS Cencluded from Page One reckless driving counts. Hits Signal at Accident Scene One of those arrested for reckless driving.

Robert Linebaugh, 37. of 522 Liberty street, was arrested Saturday evening about 10:30 o'clock near the intersection of Jones street and East Michigan avenue, after he had allegedly failed to heed the signals of policemen investigating the hit-and-run fatality which had occurred at that point. Linebaugh's car barely missed running, down Patrolman Donald after striking and knocking a flasher nal light from his hands. Officer Murphy said that Linebaugh was apparently racing with another car when he nearly ran the officer down. The signal light which Murphy was holding to direct fice, was smashed to bits.

Linebaugh's car proceeded on past Murphy and ran over a metal tape which patrolmen were using to measure off the distance on the pavement from where the death victim was struck by the hit-run car to the point where the body was carried. Officer Murphy said he dodged back barely in time to escape being run down and possibly killed by the rapidly traveling Linebaugh car.

An attempt to land strong Soviet forces west of Leningrad, supported by the fire of the entire Kronstadt fortress, ships and coastal artillery, was completely crushed yesterday through the determined action of German troops." Germans Deny Gains The Russian move on the outside of the Leningrad siege lines apparently was timed with a thrust from the inside, but the Germans that it, too, WAS shattered with "heavy and bloody losses" for the Russians. "Troops which were landed were wiped or taken prisoner," the communique went on.

"Several fully laden ships were sunk and 22 tanks, including seven of super -heavy types were destroyed." On Germany's air fronts, the high command announced a Russian port on the sea of Azov was bombed. with an important traffic Junction west of Moscow and milltary objectives in Leningrad, a ton British vessel was sunk 250 miles west of Brest, and British military emplacements were bombed in the Shetland islands. In north Africa German bombers assailed Tobruk two nights ago and struck again at the Suez roadstead. the high command said. So far Germany and Britain themselves were directly concerned, the rival air forces were, inactive or only reconnoitering night.

If Moscow is the major goal of the new German drive, Hitler might augment' it by shifting some of the Leningrad siege forces if he is convinced that the Russians can be contained there. Some London war observers were inclined to ask whether the indicated Moscow push were not part of an elaborate sham to cover up the failure to take Leningrad "with the overwhelming swiftness" of which the high command once boasted. London commentators expressed belief there was small chance of immediate change in the "stabilized" siege and defense of the Black sea- city long since bypassed by the Germans' drive through the Ukraine. Continued fierce German pressure toward the Donets basin and Kharkov in the eastern Ukraine Was acknowledged, but the subsidiary attempt to break into Crimea through the Perekop isthmus was said to have been eased by Russian counterattacks on the German flank there. Today's cap sheaf in the now daily crop of reports on unrest or actual rebellion among the German-conquered people of Europe was the Berlin radio's announcement that Otakar Klapka, mayor of Prague, had been executed for plotting a rebellion in the reich's Czech protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia.

Sequel The sentence against him was the protectorate Premier Alois Elias sequel to similar verdict against appeal to the mercy of Adolf Hitler, so far as is known, still has not been decided. Dispatches from Prague to Budapest said that synagogues in that protectorate capital had been closed by the Germans on charges that Jews had taken a special part in the wave of Czech unrest. The synagogues were called meeting places for "aggressive influences." In German-occupied France the execution of still another Frenchman. Rene Darreau of Vendome, was announced. Some 70 Frenchmen now have gone before the firing squad, d.

either as hostages or as the principals in military and political offenses against the occupying power. Darreau was convicted of possessing a revolver and 10 cartridges and it was said he had distributed antiGerman leaflets. He was shot Saturday. An implication of the middle eastern scope which Britain anticipates in the war came from Prime Minister Churchill in a message read before the opening session of the Indian national defense council at Simla. During 1942 the armies India, with their British comrades, will be fighting on a long front from the Caspian to the Nile," it said.

The British commander in India, Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, who has just completed tour of this link to the left flank of the Russians, read the message for Churchill. Italy's principal contribution the day's war reports was an nouncement relayed that the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal had been torpedoed by an Italian submarine "shortly after a recent battle in the Mediterranean." Carrying on the line laid down Adolph Hitler last Friday when enigmatically told a Sportspalast audience--and the world -about "gigantic new development which began in the last 48 hours." semiofficial sources in Berlin began speak of new turn. Dienst aus Deutschland, a commentary close to German foreign office, indicated the character the development but gave no hint its direction.

While the. Germans were talking thus about a new turn in the war and their high command was claiming the capture of 12,000 more Russian prisoners in the southern Ukraine, Russians declared their Red armies were in stronger positions than at any time since the beginning of the invasion, now in 16th week. Reds Claim Gains The Russians also claimed their armies had rolled back the German besiegers of Leningrad as much two to three miles at some points and had pushed forward at least miles on the southwestern sectorin the Ukraine. The Germans claimed the capture of the little Russian-held island Abruka, three miles south of recently captured island of Oesel off the Estonian coast. Russia officially replied to Adolf Hitler's Friday claims of heavy Red casualties by calling the Fuehrer's figures "fantastic delirious data" and charging he was "afraid of telling the truth" on German losses to the German people.

Here are Russian losses as announced by Alexander Shcherbakov, director of the Soviet information bureau: 1,128,000 men killed, 720,000 wounded, 178,000 missing: 7,000 tanks; 8,900 guns, and 5,316 planes. He further asserted that the Germans have lost 3,000,000 casualties, almost as much in 15 weeks of warfare as the kaiser lost in two Cencluded from Page One of 000 sian tanks: or was dents hump of saw ing of had any In that down which the virtual and huge ment. often United the kong Robert as of rived the World war, 11,000 tanks, In guns and 9,000 planes. that Hitler made these claims of Ruslosses: 2,500,000 18,000 22,000 guns, and 14,000 planes. tive Whether there was a naval battle lend battles off the Brazilian coast still not determined today but resiof towns along the Brazilian fly insisted they heard the sounds pore, heavy cannonading at sea and ing smoke from a ship during the week-end.

PRICE CONTROL Concluded from Page One Gore's bill would: Create the office of emergency inflation control to be administered by one administrator appointed by the President and confirmed by the senate.

RESCUE Concluded from Page One City, S. who made the wager with Hopkins.

"I'm worried about George." stay, well-supplied San Antonio, daredevil nevertheless remained in fine spirits. Late yesterday, As rain turned to snow, he edged to the tower's rim and waved at the thousands of spectators. He donned a fur-lined aviator's suit as protection from the cold and snow last night his fifth overnight stop atop the tower. Monument officials have been swamped with suggestions for getting Hopkins down, but it still appeared that the hard work of scaling the tower would finally free him. Yesterday Paul K.

Petzoldt, Harold Rapp, Ernest Field and Warren Gorrell, veterans of dangerous mountain scaling feats, drove more iron pins, known to climbers, as pitons, into the solid-rock of the tower, inching a ladder of iron rings and ropes toward the top. They were joined today by Jack Durrance. New Hampshire skier who ascended the tower in 1938. and MerIril McLane of Rockport, Mass. HURRICANE Concluded from Page One Fort Lauderdale, north of here, was inconvenienced by a loss of power.

Coast guardsmen evacuated the exposed auxiliary base at Fort Lauderdale Beach once lines went down. The hurricane warnings were extended last night to the south shore of Lake Okeechobee -the region where hundreds died in a 1928 1 storm -and I many residents moved out to safety. Some 500 'Glades inhabitants went to West Palm Beach. The United States Sugar corporation provided shelter at Clewiston for about 1,500 negroes, and 1,100 entered shelters at Belle Glade. Hurricane warnings were ordered down at 7 a.

m. (E.S.T.) and southwest storm warnings were hoisted from Key West to Vero Beach where the weather bureau said. winds would continue strong for the next 12 hours. The advisory said the storm, decreasing slightly in intensity, would reach the Florida gulf coast between Fort Myers and Everglades City about noon. Hurricane warnings remained displayed from Everglades City to Punta Gorda.

In the Miami area, the winds were diminishing slowly. They piled big wages in Biscayne bay, washed over the three causeways linking Miami Beach with the mainland and, for two hours after the storm center passed, blocked motor travel to and from the beach. Miami and neighboring cities on the Florida east coast, similarly, shuttered windows, evacuated residents of the southern keys, and provided space in public buildings for those whose homes seemed insecure. Spurred by Gov. Spessard L.

Holand at Tallahassee and national Red Cross officials, all communities established first aid and relief centers. Miami Beach. separated from the mainland by Biscayne bay, revealed almost deserted residential and business areas, although some bayfront hotels kept doing business behind heavily shuttered windows. Miami, however, WAS crowded. Downtown hotels turned away hundreds.

Numerous families moved into offices. Babies slept on improvised beds atop slick business desks. Cots and chairs provided beds for others who had left their homes for the duration of the storm. Through yesterday and during most of last night, the entire area of threatened southern Florida enjoyed balmy breezes and WAS free of rain. From Palm Beach to Key West on the east coast to Fort Myers on the west, the weather gave no warning of the impending hurricane.

The United States weather bureau, however, kept up running list of warnings throughout the day and night. Observers cautioned of "very high" winds but would not say in advance how strong they would be. The state remembered its last hurricane, which swept across the keys between the mainland and Key West on Labor Day, 1935, killing 300 stranded on the exposed islands. The area around Lake Okeechobee suffered 1,500 deaths and $75.000,000 in property damage from high water following a hurricane in 1928. Miami was devastated by a hurricane that destroyed thousands flimsy, boom-built structure, killing 400.

injuring 6,000 and leaving 18,000 families homeless.
