Blowing of Sixth and Final
Series Game Sends Cin

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.

kicked over a final game and a
pennant to the New York
It had been the first chance
they had to taste the fame and
glory of a world series since
they entered the American
league In 1002. 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 FINDS
New York, Oct. 10 U.R) Staff
Sgt. 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.

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.

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.

The asterisk after New York
Is to remind that in the 1940
presidential election the Demo
crats polled fewer votes in that
state than the Republicans but
that Mr. Roosevelt won New
York's 47 electoral votes because
of the 417,000 popular votes cast
for him as the candidate of the
American labor party.
Starting from scratch a few
years ago, the ALP has become
the balance of power party in

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:

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.

This is the "Big Bertha" of locomotives Southern Pacific's giaftt Articulated Consolidation.
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. The Articulated Consolidation, or "AC",
weighs more than 500 tons, with tender, is 125 feet long, and develops 6,000 horsepower.
