 Judge George F.

 Postmaster Max Rayela, in open ing the program, said not the death of Rizal but the birth of an ideal was being celebrated last night.

u. S.-Red-Chinese Axis
ADVOCATED By Browder

BOSTON,, Oct. 6.-R-Develop-
ment of a Neutrality-suspicious.
Chungking axis was urged today
by Earl Browder as the only way
the United States could win
through, for itself and for tn e
world, out of the present dangers
and bloody chaos, into a new world
of peace, order and well-being for
all peoples"
The Communist party's gener-
al secretary in the United States,
and its candidates for president,
asserted in a speech prepared for
a Symphony hall audience, that
the combination would be "un-
matchable in world politics." The
talk was presented by electrical
transcription.
Browder said that the alignment
of the United States, China and
the Soviet Union, moving along
agreed-upon lines fully consistent
with the needs of the three great
peoples, would be very powerful
indeed.

DETROIT, Oct. 6. - Up After
masking for nine innings his heart.
load Of grief over the death of his
father only three days ago, Louis
Buck) Newsom choked up and broke
down after reaching the Tigers
dressing room as he thought over
his magnificent conquest of the Gin
cinnati Reds today.
1T was the hardest game I ever
wanted to win," he said as tears
filled his eyes.
IT felt great, no kidding. Natural
1y I didn't feel as good as I should
have. I pitched this game for my
dad and I hope he knows what I &C.
complished. I knew in my heart he
wanted me to win. This was the one
I wanted to win most"
Billy Sullivan, who caught Bo.Bo,
wrapped his arm over Newsom's
shoulder as they posed for pictures,
then said softly, TBo-Bo, your dad
would have liked this one"
There was no whooping or yipping
in the Tiger dressing room, I'm.
d%oubtedly out of respect to Newsom,
whose 68-year-old father died sud-
denly in Cincinnati only last Thurs
day after a heart attack.
The players moved silently about
throwing their sweaty baseball uni
forms into the trunks which were to
be quickly hauled to a special train
leaving for Cincinnati.
Del Baker, manager of the trium-
plant Tigers, chung to his reserve
and declined to make any prediction
on the outcome of tomorrow's game.

BLUES WIN OVER
REDS STARS, 7-6
Game Winding Up Play In
Cape Fear League Goes II
Innings; Blues Take Series

Adding a dramatic finish to the
1910 baseball season, two hand
picked teams from the Cape Fear
association battled through a bin
ming thriller at Robert Strange park
yesterday afternoon with the Blues
defeating the Reds, Z to 6.
The victory gave the Blue ALL
Stars the two out of three game
series.
Reversing the order of things, the
Blues allowed Vic Gore to go over
on the Reds side as a moundsman
and started Robert Anderson, of the
Athletics against him.
The Reds got off to a flying start,
collecting four runs in the first in
ming and two more in the third be-
fore Anderson was yanked in favor
of Johnny Edens. Thereafter Edens
and Gore hooked up in as pretty a
pitching duel as was seen in the
league all season. In the remaining
eight innings Edens gave up no runs,
allowed two hits and struck out
eight men. Gore famed II and
gave up nine hits.
Tyre and Markiton caught for the
Blues while Tatum was the Reds
receiver.
Rowan paced his team at bat with
three for five and A. Thomas led the
Reds with two for four.
The Reds were managed by Tim
Farrow and o. Flowers and the
Blues were piloted by Skeet James
and Rhode Farrow.
The Cape Fear association will
meet at the courthouse tonight at 8
o'clock to clear up all business of
the past season and make plans for
next year.
