NINTH INNING
CLIMAX GIVES
REAL THRILL
Slashing Single BY GOslin
Brings Manager In
With Winning Run
BRIDGES is HERO
Great Pitching By Detroit
Star Brings First World
Title To Team

NAVIN FIELD, DETROIT, Oct.
7. A-The Detroit Tigers won the
baseball championship of the world
today-the first in all their long
history-when they defeated the
Chicago Cubs, to 3, in the sixth
game of the 1885 world series.
The end came in the ninth inn
ing, when, with two men down
Goose Goslin, slugging left fielder
lashed single to right scoring
Manager Mickey Cochrane from
second.
The Tigers won the series four
games to two.
Goslin won the ball game, but
the man the 1920 fans who
watched the game will remember,
is pitcher Tommy Bridges. If 1t
had not been for Bridges magnifi-
cent pitching in the first of the
ninth, the game might have been
lost before the old goose of the Po-
IOmac COulQ VIII II.
The Cubs, gamesters from their
spikes to the peak of their caps,
made magnificent bid for victory
in the last inning. With the score
tied at 3-all, Stanley Hack, third
baSeman, opened the inning with a
tremendous triple which, splitting
the Detroit outfield, rolled to the
flag pole in center field.
Bridges, cold as ice, dug in his
spikes, and went to work on Jurges.
JurgeS famed on three pitched
balls. Larry French, Cubs pitcher,
was the next man up, and he was
allowed to bat. 1t was a mistake,
for the best he could do was an
easy roller to Bridges, who tossed
him out. With two away Bridges
fed Augie Galan a curve, and the
young outfielder lifted to Goslin
for the final out.
The Detroit fans, the most fren-
zied in baseball, made up for their
long years of waiting as Goslin S
hit scared into left field.
Clifton opened the final inning
by striking out, but Cochrane
brought the great crowd up scream
ing with single that riccocheted
off Billy Herman's glove. Gehrin-
ger sacrificed Cochrane to second,
and then the Goose put the wood
to the ball which ended the mil
lion dollar spectacle.
1t was a $4,000 hit, that being the
difference in the pay check of the
winning and losing team.
The Cubs got their. runs in the
third and fifth innings, and Her
man, who got three hits during
the afternoon, was responsible for

TWO BREAKS IN
SEWER SYSTEM

Two new breaks in the city out
foil sewer system were reported at
the city engineers office this morn
ing. The trouble happened yester-
day afternoon in a field about 2A
miles north of Imperial, east of the
railroad tracks. 1t was further re-
ported that another place showed
signs of giving away in short time.
Sewage has backed up somewhat at
this place, Philip w. Knights, city
engineer said, and it is hoped that
men will soon be sent out to repair
the damaged sections as soon as
possible. Irrigation work in the field
where the breaks occurred make it
extremely difficult for men and
equipment to get in to make the re-
pairs but it was said that should
further breaks threaten today the
equipment will be moved in imme-
diately even though the field is
muddy.

FARM ADVISOR
RETURNSFROM
MIDDLE WEST

Improved farming conditions
throughout the middle west with
much better economic conditions
than prevailed two years ago were
noted by Frank G. Beyschlag, farm
advisor, who returned last night,
with Mrs. Beyschlag, from their
trip to Detroit and back.
The Beyschlags went as far east
as Ietroit, where they secured a
new car, motoring leisurely home
through Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa, where they visited friends
and relatives. They were in Den
yer, Colorado, also, Beyschlag be-
ing particularly interested in the
neighboring valley which is an ir-
rigation district They came home
through New Mexico and Arizona.
Beyschlag states that in the two
years which have elapsed since
he was last in the middle west
conditions show marked improve
ment. He saw many fine crops,
corn in Indinaa, cotton in MiSSissip-
pi and herds of Jersey cattle
by the thousands in Texas.
In the middle west farmers we're
getting better prospects and there
have been a few sales of land. While
things are .ar from the boom days,
people seem more hopeful and agri-
culture more profitable than two
years ago.
Beyschlag is leaving tonight to
attend the sub-tropical agricultural
conference at the Riverside Citrus
experiment station.

TWELVE DEAD
IN CRASH Of
UNITED PLANE
Motor Trouble Believed
To Be Responsible For
Fatal Wreck
BY E. II. LINFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. T.
| Twelve persons, the entire compile
, ment of the airliner, were killed to-
day when a United Airlines trans
port plane crashed near Silver
Crown.
The dead included nine passen-
gers, the pilot, co-pilot, and stew
ardess of the big -motored
Boeing plane.
Searching parties sent out from
Cheyenne at about 6 a. M, after
the plane had been unreported for
nearly four hours, found the wreck
age of the plane and the mangled
| bodies of the dead in rough. hilly
country in Grow Greek Valley,
about two miles west of Silver
Crown.
The pilot, H. A. Collision, had ra-
diced the Cheyenne airport office
of the company at 215 a. M, that
he was over Silver Crown and was
approaching for a landing.
The Cheyenne radio operator re-
| piled Immediately that an east
! bound plane was coming into the
airport from about the same dis
tance away, and asked him to de-
lay his landing until the plane
from the east had landed
The Cheyenne operator then
| tried to check back with Collision
to ascertain that the plane had re-
ceived the message. There was no
| reply and the plane was never
heard from again.
Weather Clear
Collision said he was flying at
1000 feet. The weather was calm
and clear. Apparently sudden mot
or trouble sent the plane plung-
ing downward through the night
to the hills below.
MORE
The bodies were to be removed to
Cheyenne.
; A wrist watch found on the body
OF a woman among the dead had
stopped at 3:15 a. m, indicating
that the plane crashed at that
time. p rs
If that were the case, it would
| indicate that plane did not crash
| until an hour after Collision had re-
ported to the airport that he was
! over Silver Crown Airline Off
clalS were at loss to explain this
| lapse of time, in view of Collisions
failure to reply to the radio
check-back

the United Airlines was as fol-
lows:
H. A. Collision, pilot.

airlines.
