One Million Russians Re. p0rted Concentrated
 in Baltic States

STOCKHOLM Oct. 2-Neutral diplomats in Stockholm report that Russia has massed ofie million troops in the Baltic States.
 These diplomats estimate also that Germany has concentrated possibly 35o,o00 troops in Norway. Here the Nazis are said to be train- ing men and horses in tactics which might be used for an in- vasion of Britain.
 Concentration of these heavy forces in and around Scandinavia, it is said, does not necessarily mean imminent developments on the northern front, but should Russia invade Finland again, Germany is expected to help the Finns with a sizeable number of volunteers and large quantities of material.

CROSLEY FIELD, CINCINNATI, Oct. 2. The Detroit Tigers, the American League champions, found their batting power behind the tight pitching of Buck Newsom to defeat the Cincinnati Reds, champions of the National League, ' to 2, this afternoon in the first game of the World Series and played before 3l,- 973 fans.
 Two big right handlers, Buck New som and Paul Derringer squared off on the pitching mound but the for mer went the route and the latter was chased to the showers in the second inning. The story is told in the play by play report.
 The game was good one throughout, even with that fatal Red second inning when Whitey Moore relieved Derringer.
 There were errors but there were also double plays and several sen sational catches
 There was just one home run made during the game, by Campbell of the Tigers, with one man on base
 Strikeouts were numerous during the game and the sWeltering fans got worth of their money.
 The Tigers put the game on ice in that second inning with a five-run barrage on Derringer and then add ad two more runs in the fifth when Bruce Campbell banged out that homer into the right field bleachers to score behind Rudy York who had tripled.
 Newsom kept his hits well scat terde except in the fourth when Goodman donbled and came home on Nipples single and in the eighth when Werber doubled and scored on Goodmans one-baser
 The weather was almost perfect for the opening game of the world series, with a bright sun and lazy west wind. The temperature was " degrees.
 Several hours before the game time the right field bleachers were filled presaging capacity crowd of 33,O00. Holders of reserve seats were bit slow in arriving thereby missing Comedian Al Schacha's baton swinging act as he led the band.
 Buck Newsom starter on the mound for the Detriot Tigers, has won IA games in one stretch dur ing the season and wound up with a record of 21 victories and five de- feats.
 Paul Derringer, who started for the Reds, had won 20 wins during the 1940 season and 12 losses.

WASHINGTON-Most tragic de- velopment in London, according to intelligence cables, is damage to the sewers and water supply.
 Tn a city as densely populated as London this can be more devastat- ing than the bombs themselves There are already reports of some typhoid, though how much is not known.
 Also the production of airplanes seems to have been pretty well dis rupted. This is serious, because Hit Ter probably is not going to start the actual transportation of troops to England until the Royal Air Force is put out of commission It is inn portant to remember that Hitler had complete mastery of the air when he conquered France.
