Charles Boyer. 'It was the first

cized the people Of the United
States today as 1.-The met ignorant
of the white race and h nted
strongly that Germany and Italy
are counting on Spain to offset
American and British influence in
Latin America.
Just how Spain would play her
part and the precise role she would
have in the new Rome-Berlin-Fek-
oyo Axis remained unanswered
however, as Spanish Minister OF
Government Ramon Serrano Suner
wound up a series of Rome-Berlin
conferences.
Serrano Suner had a farewell
talk this afternoon with Foreign
Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano and
a brief communique said merely
that it was cordial"
Commentator Marc Appelius,
writing in II Duce's II Popolo di
Roma, bitterly attacked the Unit
ed States, England AMI France as
great enemies of Spain and its
history.
The people of the. world have
two wishes" he said. First, to
free themselves from Englis', dom
nation; and, second, to free them
selves from the plutocratic tyranny
represented by the United States.
1.-The panorama of h" world is
clear. On one side are the British
Empire, North Americ; pluto

national servants. On the er
side is the entire civilized human
ity. Naturally, Spain is on the side

CHAMBERLAIN WILL

Resignation May Bring On
Sweeping Read justment
OF Churchill Cabinet

LONDON, Oct. {. Up Old and
ailing Prime Minister Chamberlain,
the man who made the Inflated
Munich agreement Of September,
1888, will resign shortly as lord presi.
dent of council in what may become
a sweeping reimbursement of the
Churchill cabinet, political circles re-
ported tonight.
Lord Halifax, 'holdover foreign Sec
rotary of the Chamberlain govern
ment, also may go, London circles
said, with Anthony Eden mentioned
as his successor.
The same reports said Labor Min
lister Ernest Bevin probably would
become a member of the war cabi-
net-giving it a strong socialistic
tinge. Bevin is one of the nations
leading laborites.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
is expected to announce the cabinet
changes oon
Politicians predicted that Lord
Beaverbrook would succeed Cham
berlain and that Sir John Ander-
son would resign as minister OF
home security, being replaced by
Herbert Morrison, 10Y minister of
supply.
The reshuffle also may involve
Alfred Duff COOPER, and Arthur
Greenwood, now minister of infor-
nation and minister without port
folio, respectively, the reports said.
Chamberlain's resignation would
leave vacant the position of con-
sentative party leader, which is
expected to go to Churchill, leav-
ing him in full control both of the
government and of the party.

Big Buck Newsom, Backed

RY JUDSON BAILEY

CROSLEY FIELD, Cincinnati, Oct.
2.-CP-The powerhouse of the De-
troit Tigers switched on a shocking
five-run rally against Paul Derrin-
ger today and crushed the Cincin'
natl Reds, 7 to 2, in the first game
of the 1910 World series as a crowd
Of 31,793 stricken Rhineland fans
looked on aghast.
The ease with which the Tiger
sluggers swept over the heroic Ma
tional league Highlander with five
punched singles in the second in
ming took all the sparkle out Of the
remainder of the game and the
crowd was hardly awed by the triple
and home run that Rudy York and
Bruce Campbell hit in succession in
the fifth inning.
Buck Newsom, the giant, glover
ing Highlander who set the pace for
the Tigers in their prowl to the
American league championship,
backed up the hitting of his team
mates with an efght-hit pitching JOB
that kept the feeble Reds shutout
except in the fourth and eighth
stanZas.
Uneven Struggle
It was as Uneven a struggle as
any test between two champions
could be.
In, the big second inning ten Tt
gers went to bat as Derringer des'
perateJy tried to stem the tide and
finally had to give way to Whitley
Moore after all the runs were in
and only n out.
Hank G%reenberg. who was hand
cuffed all the rest of the afternoon,
led off the b~ombardment by smack
ing the first pitch into the left field
corner for what would ordinarily
have been a double, although jim
Ripple sent him scurrying back te
first with a tremendous throw.
Then York singled into short right
center, and Bill Werber made a high
throw on Campbell's sacrifice bunt
and the bases were loaded. Pinky
Higgins singled the two leading
runners home and Billy Sullivan
walked to again jam the stations.
Newsom forced Campbell at the
plate, but Dick Bartell singled fol
two runs and Barney McCosky hit
home another before Moore finally
was tagged out of the bull pen to
choke off the Tigers.
Surprise Explosion
Derringer, who had pitched a mag
nificent though losing game against
the New York Yankees in the opener
last year, showed no sign OF weak
ness as he retired the first three
men in order in the first inning and
the explosion in the second was all
the more spectacular because OF its
surprise.
Moore pitched effectively until re
moved for a pinch-hitter in the last
of the eighth, although he gave ur
the other two runs when Detroit be
gan to solve his fast ball and once
walked three men in the seventh IN
