New York, Aug.
19 u.m
Sports pipelines and
grapevines
hinted tonight that the Impend
ing all-St. Louis world series
may be witnessed by an all-St.
Louis crowd.
Officials of the Office of De,
fen?o Transportation, distressed
ov the hundreds of advance
reservations being made for
trains and planes to St, Louis
lor the first week In October,
reportedly are ready to take
steps to prevent any but bona
fido business and emergency
personal trips.
At Washington, a spokesman
said the ODT may ask officials
of the teams to see that only
bonafido area residents attend
the scries. He stressed, however,
that the ODT would not issue
orders to anyone not to travel,
but merely to suggest that they
did not.
The restrictions would be sim
ilar to those made for the Ken
tucky Derby and the Army-Navy
football games during the
past two years, thus relieving
the strain on transcontinental
railroad coaches and Pullmans,
already abulge with passengers.
The ODT at first considered
It a pleasant coincidence that
the fall baseball classic was
likely to be played in a single
city, thus eliminating the neces
sity of a trip between games.
However, during the past
week, when the Browns main
tained their comfortable lead In
the American league, there were
bales of requests for world se
ries tickets in every delivery of
mail to the Cardinal and Brown
offices. Neither Sam Breadon,
the Cardinal president, nor Don'
aid Barnes, head of the Browns,
filled any of the requests, stat-
Ing that they could not act un
til tho pennant races wero set
tled anil until they had met
with Baseball Commissioner
Judge Kcncsaw M. Landis to set
ticket prices.

ing event on the second night's

nents in the 100-meter and 1500
meter free style events. She
barely nosed out Brenda Helser

when the Oregon star put on a
drive that brought her up into
the spray from Miss Curtis' fly
ing feet at the finish.

strong aggregation including
Miss Helser, Suzanne Zimmer
man, Nancy Merki and Mary

TO HIT WORKERS
San Francisco, Aug. 19 (U.R)
Alfred P. Sloane, president of
General Motors Corp., today
predicted that the automobile
industry would lay off large
numbers of workers immedi'
ately following the cancellation
of war contracts.
He said that this unemploy
ment would probably begin
with the collapse of Germany
and continue during the period
required for reconversion of
war industries to production of
consumer goods.
General Motor Corp. will be
able to accomplish this recon
version within six months after
its war contracts are cancelled,
if the government gives the cor
poration use of government
built war plants, Sloan said.
