TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tueaday, Oct. 10. 1844 FOLLOWS PATTERN OF ENTIRE YEAR Blowing of Sixth and Final Series Game Sends Cin ' derella Boys Back to Rags By Vernon Carter (UP Press Staff Corespondent) St. Louis, Oct. 10. (U.R) The St. Louis Browns' hangover to day reflected the most dismal double play in baseball history rags-to-riches-to-rags. The three-play relay came yes terday when they blew the sixth and final game of the 1944 world series to the Cardinals, 3-1. to climax a season that saw them rub resin on their glove hands and soar to the heights.

This year was their next. . In 1944 the bird was In the ' hand Instead of the bush (a red bird, to btf sure, if you will par don the pun) but Luke Sewell's plucky lads ran out of ammuni tion. The final hour of the Cinder ella series struck with the on comln? dusk last night, and as the team trooped Into the dress ing room behind Manager Luke another modern record was born. There were tears In the show erSi yes Just like you would expect, a little salt In such an hour. But there was Joy, too, paradoxically. Luke said that he had no re grets. His boys, he added, did the best thoy could. Maybe they had a few tough breaks, but that's baseball. Someone said with a grin that could bo taken almost any way you want, that there was an other year coming and another world scries. "Yes, we'll face another year. And I hope we will be up there on top again. "You fellows tagged us the Cinderella boys.. That, I guess, we were. But wo brought the slipper home the American league pennant. We put on one shoe In the world scries when va should havo had two brogans on." Luke Is a good sport. He was the first man to extend a hand of congratulation to Manager Billv Southworth. "You had the best team," he admitted, almost cheerfully. Billy, also a gentleman and former player, sewed up his en thusiasm. "Luke," he said, "You did lot for that gang of yours. We'll be seeing you about tills same time next year." Luko r-id he guessed that was about the way it would be.

Joe Louis, world heavy weight boxing champion, arriv ing today by ATC plane after a seven month tour of European fighting fronts, said he had met two American soldiers in Italy who offered a definite threat to his title after the war. The negro boxer, who fought exhibitions in England, Ireland, Scotland, North Africa and Sar dinia, arrived at LaGuardia field with Capt. Fred L. Maly. The other eight men in his tour, including trainers and prelim inary fighters, who made the tour, did not accompany him home. Louis said he had forgotten the names of the American sol dicrs, but that the American sports public definitely would be hearing about them as soon as the war is over. The return of the boxer short ly before the opening of the sixth war loan, renewed specu lation that he might be used in a series of appearances about the nation to aid bond sales. T LITTLE SERIES Baltimore, Oct. 10 (U.R) The Louisville Colonels and Balti more Orioles, all square with two games apiece in the little world series, tangle in the fifth game of the playoff tonight. Before a record minor league crowd of 52,832 nearly 18.000 more than the largest attendance at the Cardinal-Brown world series the Colonels roughed three Oriole pitchers last night to squeeze out a 5-4 victory and drew even with Baltimore. Home runs and air-tight relief pitching throttled Baltimore s bid for a three to one lead in the best-of-seven series. The Colonels opened hostilities in the first in ning with three singles that netted one run and shelled the first of four Oriole pitchers from the mound. Huskies In Wraps For Willamette U.

Phone 3454 AIMS AT ELEVEN PiVOTAMSTATES Remaining Four Weeks To Center on Places Where Vote Was Close in 1940. By Lyla C. Wilson United Press Correspondent Washington, Oct. 10 (U.R) Four weeks remain today of the election campaign in which the voters will decide' whether President Roosevelt shall have a fourth term or be supplanted by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican presidential candi date. The campaign Is primarily a contest for 11 big states where the vote last time was close and of which Mr. Roosevelt carried nine in 1040 and the late Wen dell L. Willkie, Republican nom inee, carried two. If Dewey holds the two that Willkie carried four years ago and reverses the trend in the others his chances of election will be excellent. If Mr. Roose velt can hold his own in most of these states, he probably will be re-elected. Willkie Carried Two The states are Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne sota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Willkie carried In diana and Michigan in 1940. But the count was close in all 11 of those states. Their ag gregate of electorial votes is 237. Only 266 electoral votes are re quired to win. In 1S40 these states cast 15, 613,807 votes for Mr. Roosevelt and 13,52.2,386 for Willkie. The nation as a whole cast 27,243,466 votes for Mr. Roosevelt and 22, 304,755 for Willkie. Discounting the solid south where Republi cans get hardly more than token support, the president had a 1940 election day margin over his Republican opponent of around 4,000,000 votes. Slight Shift Vital Of that nation-wide edge, the 11 pivotal states listed in the foregoing accounted for just more than 2,000,000 votes of the margin by which the president was returned to office. A slight shift percentagewise in some of these states would move them from the Democratic column to the Republican column. And a factor to be remembered is that whereas nearly 50,000,000 votes were cast In the 1940 presiden tial election, estimates of the probably total this year range from 40,000,000 up. A reduced vote would be at tributed to apathy, failure of servicemen to vote in large num bers and the bugaboo that keeps Dcmoratic managers work ing hard in the daytime and per haps awake at night failure of hut.dreds of thousands of war workers to register and to vote In their new election districts. There has been an. enormous migration of workers. That Is why the congress of industrial organizations political action committee is undertaking a door bell ringing campaign to per suade tho workers to register. Those votes are regarded as more favorable to Mr. Roosevelt than to Dewey, and by a consid erable margin. But they must be cast to be counted. Somo Margins Narrow Although the president's 1940 margin of victory was large, there were some narrow margins among the slates both for Mr." Roosevelt and for Willkie. Take the 11 listed in the foregoing.

INSURANCE PLEA FOR REHEARING Washington, Oct. 10 (U.R) The Supreme Court today de nied a petition of the South eastern Underwriters Associa tion for reconsideration of the court's June ruling that insur ance is business in interstate commerce and thus subject to federal antitrust laws. Forty two states backed the motion of Roberts and Stanley Reed took no part in its consideration. Attorneys for the association, composed of 196 stock fire In surance companies, filed formal protest against the ruling on Sept. 1. They urged the high court to rehear the case, con tending that the decision, hand ed down June 5, "leaves in doubt the respective scopes of federal and state powers with respect to the regulation of in surance." The protested ruling came on a 4 to 3 judgment, written by Justice Hugo L. Black, and re Instated antitrust charges filed by the government against the firms in the northern Georgia federal district court. Justices Roberts and Reed also did not participate in the original case. The war seems to have given the American people a new interest in their railroads. Perhaps it is because they have seen the enormous war load the trains are carrying. Perhaps because so many people, including thousands in uniform, are riding trains for the first time. ' As the war in the Pacific 6teps up, you'll see more and more S. P. locomotives pulling heavier and heavier war loads. In this advertisement, Southern Pacific shows you: How to tell Locomotives apart ou 4-8-4 These locomotives are known as "General Service type ("GS" for short). They pull the streamlined Daylights and the Lark, as well as other passenger trains and fast freights. Length of engine and tender is 110 feet, weight more than 400 tons, horsepower 5,500. OOOOO-o- Originally designed by Southern Pacific, these en gines are appropriately known as "Southern Pacific" type. They have three cylinders instead of two. Length of engine and tender is 101 feet, weight 353 tons, horsepower 4,100, L HUNT GET LARGE DEER IN BLY DISTRICT Jack Peebler, Phoenix, and Bob Coke, Medford, returned to Medford Monday well rewarded by their recent hunting trip In the Bly district. Peebler brought in a 202 pound four-point mule deer and Coke a 170 pound four point mule deer. Both weights were on the dressed animal. In addition to bringing home the so-called "bacon" Peebler found a radiosonde, a weather recording instrument released by balloon by the Medford weather bureau, five miles north of Bly on Demlng Creek. Peebler plan ned to return the Instrument to the weather station at the Med ford airport, Peebler said he and Coke saw many deer, as many as 20 does and fawns in a morning, but few bucks. The weather bureau stated to day that they received a radio sonde Monday which was found at Sacramento and had been re leased about a year ago. It was badly eaten as rats had made a nest In it. These instruments go as high as 65,000 feet and trans mit weather information back to the ground crew which is record ed on a special graph. When the rubber balloon breaks the radio sonde floats to the ground by a silk parachute. They are found almost daily, it was stated.

These mammoth engines pull trains over the High Sierra and other western mountain ranges. "4-8-8-2" is an example of the universal "shorthand" used for designating types of locomotives in the United States. It means that there are 4 small wheels under the leading truck, two seta of 8 driving wheels, and 2 small wheels under the trailing truck. To tell loco motives apart, you simply count the wheels, separating the smaller wheels in the front and back from the big wheels that drive the locomotive.
