THE FIRST worlds championship
in baseball came to Detroit this week
as the Tigers won a AZ decision over
Chicago in six games, % years from
the time they won their first American
league championship. -Four other times
during this period had they won the
Junior leagues pennant but each time
they were turned back by the Ma
tionals.
To Detroit fans, and to the fans OF
America, the hero of the series was
the brilliant catcher-manager OF the
Tigers, Mickey Cochrane. Two years
ago Cochrane, whose playing had aided
Philadelphia take pennants for several
seasons, came to Detroit as playing
manager Taking the team which had
finished in fifth place the year before,
plus the addition of only one player,
Goose Goslin, Cochrane turned out a
pennant- winning club, but was repulsed
from the worlds championship in a
seven game series by st. Louis.
This year he came through again in
the American league and fought bit
terly through six close games to win
the world series. 1t was a fitting CHI
max to the last game that he should
cross the plate with the run which won
the game and the championship In
the ninth inning. And it was equally
fitting that the blow which sent him
home from second base was hit by
Goose Goslin.
The series was one of the most bril-
liant ever played With the exception
of the second game, won by Detroit,
8-3, there was hardly a time during
the series that one well-placed hi
would not have changed the aspect of
the whole situation. After winning the
first game, 80, the Cubs were doWned
by Detroit three times, 8-3, 81 and
6-5 in an 11-inning game, only Il
come back in the fifth game to pound
out a 81 victory.
The sixth game was tied at IL in
= the third by the Cubs. and then at
3-3 in the sixth by Detroit, with the
Tigers breaking it up in the last OF
the ninth.
But there was half an inning in
which it looked like the Cubs woulc
even the series as Hack opened the
ninth with triple. But he was forced
to stay on third as Bridges struck Out
Jurges, forced French to ground ou1
and Galan to fly out. And Detroit came
back in their half of the ninth tt
break up the game and the series.
LIKE HIS GREAT predecessor, Julius
Caesar of ancient Rome, Premier Mus
solini of Italy last week crossed hi
Rubicon, but whether he will go on TX
great triumphs or down into ignomlny
only the future can tell
Defying other nations to halt hi
colonizing expedition, his troops ar
now cutting their way through ETH
opia, determined to add that countr
to the other bordering Italian colonie
of Eritrea and italian Somaliland. TIL
great defeat of the Italians at tn
hands of the Philippians in 1896 a
Aduwa was avenged as the italian
entered that town on their marc
through northern Ethiopia. Reports a
to it's taking differed, some saying tina
the Philippians had fallen back an
allowed the town to fall undefende
while others told of huge losses
both armies during the siege.
Other reports have announced ths
Ethiopian forays into the italian col
ony of Eritrea had done great damag
and that native soldiers of the Italia
troops were deserving to join the Eth
opian ranks.
KNOWING THAT its life was {
stake; that if it failed in this Girls
the movement to avert war throug
arbitration and to overcome the il
tense nationalism of the past wou
be futile, the League of Nations ;
Geneva adopted a report placing I'll
blame for aggression on Italy and al
solving Ethiopia Of any blame what's
ever. On Wednesday, the League m
to act on financial and economic san
lions against Italy which, it was hope
would isolate Italy and force her
abandon armed aggression.
BELIEVING THAT ALL too oft,
a nation is forced into war by a
tempting to grab the easy profits
trading with warning nations, the Ar
erican people voiced their approval
the act of Congress which forced t.
President to lay down an embargo
munitions or other goods to bellige
ents, and the Presidents action in d
claring this embargo as soon as he
tilities began between Italy and Ell
