WEATHER SYNOPSIS AND GENERAL

During the past 24 hours an area of low barometric pressure of considerable intensity has nov ed northerly from the North Pac fife and is niw centered in the Alaska Gulf just south of Anch- orage. The low pressure has spread out over most of southern and central Alaska producing a cyclonic wind circulation with the resultant oVer-fowing of warmer and more moist air on the eastern side of the disturb ance. This over-fowing air is causing cloudiness of varying heights over central anl south eastern portions win precipitation rain along the coast from Ketchi- kan to Cordova and snow west

Alaska Pilot Detained At Dawson Airport For Alleged Illegal Entry

Fairbanks flying officials were at loss the other day to explain l the detention in wartime Can ada of Pilot Dick HaWley. 1 Within a few hours after the Pollack Flying Service pilot had left for Yukon Territory with Paul Wickstrom aboard as pas senger, radio messages received in Fairbanks reported HaWley was prohibited from taking off from the Dawson airport by Can adian authorities.
 The message indicated HaWley was detained on grounds he should have wired to Vancouver, B. C., for a landing permit before flying across the international border.
 Civil Aeronautics Authority In spector Charles R. Burnett and Deputy Collector of Customs Geo rge Futile in Fairbanks stated they were helpless to speed Flaw ley's release.
 Both agreed that as far as their offices were concerned, the Fair banks pilot had complied with current Canadian regulations when he cleared through the GUS ] tom office here and wired to DaW son the time of his projected ar rival.
 Confusion over the present stat us of Alaska-Canadian relations was quoted as the root of the Dawson incident.
 Inspector Burnett stated he had recently received bulletin setting for the Canadian inter national flying regulations for the period of the war. Strict adher- ence to this set of rules would obliged any flier whose destina- tion was a point in Canada to apply for special landing permit from the nearest Canadian dis trict superintendent of air reg ulations.
 As the bulletin was not dated, it was taken for granted by Tut tie and Burnett that an announc- ed modification of the war reg ulations governing Yukon Terri tory last October was still in effect
 Both Futile and Burnett assert ed the matter was beyond their jurisdiction until such time as 1 Canadian authorities clarity their stand, even though the Alaska pilot must remain 'interned."
 Chief puzzler to local fiers is the fact that within the past few weeks three ships have been in what would appear to be circum

 We expect a continued north eastward movemest of this storm area which will be favorable for fair weather although possibly some high clouds and not much change in temperature which changes will be due mostly to radiational effects.
 For the past few days mag netic storf has been present in the atmosphere and probably reached the peak of intensity Sunday and Sunday night. This magnetic storm greatly impaired radio reception The storm is now slowly diminishing in intensity and radio reception will improve slowly.

Newsom's $ Spring Song On Series
 Was Real Prophecy
Told Detroit SpOrtswriter Last April Tigers Could
 Land in Series
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

Cincinnati, Oct. 2.-UP)-There is no more picturesque individual in baseball than Louis Norman New som, who will make his world series debut today by pitching the open- ing game for the Detroit Tigers against the Cincinnati Reds.
 Buck, as he's known to the pro- fession, or Bobo, as he calls himself. is a man of a few thousand words, mostly about himself. But nobody can blame Newsom for talking about Bobo. There is SO much to tell and 1t is all so interesting like the time he pitched game with broken knee.
 NewSom was pitching for Wash ington. Earl Averill hit him with line drive and they were carrying him of the field when he overheard some remarks from the Cleveland bench about his courage. His southern blood began boiling and he stormed back out to the mound and finished the game, losing by one run. That night in the hospital the x-ray showed his kneecap had been fractured in several places.
 Newsom has bounced around plenty since he first broke into baseball with Greenville, s. C., in 1928. He's played with the Dodgers and Cubs in the National league and the Browns, Senators, Red Sox and Tigers in the American league. He made two trips to the Browns, the club from which the Tigers res- cued him in 1889. Some say Buck has talked himself of more clubs than any player in history.
 Called the Turn
 But Buck is harmless and the Tigers love him. They should. be- cause he was the first Tiger to get the pennant bee this spring. In sev- eral conversations in the spring with Charlie Ward of the Detroit Free Press Bobo talked up the Tigers pennant chances.
 We've got a lot of ifs on this club" he said, 'but you know if they all come through we'll have ourselves hell of ball club. I wouldn't be a'tall surprised if we landed in the world series."
 T thought he was crazy" Ward said today. But here he is pitch- ing the opening game"
 Wants Free Car
 NewsoEn won 2l games and lost five and was ever ready to help the Tiger cause. Many times he. picked up his glove and trotted down to the bull-pen of his own volition just so he'd be ready in case Manager Del Baker needed him.
 Buck has two ambitions-to win a world series game and to get some one to give him an automobile. He's been to l47 dinners and banuuets in Detroit this season, hoping every time he'd find e brand new gasoline buggy parked on his hat check when he left.

ming back to the wall, and tearing in for short flies. He threw to all the bases, handled ground balls, and studied the drift of balls in the wind.
 Hanks willingness to do a little more work, try a little harder, was remindful of Joe DiMaggio's deter imitation to get his batting eye in this same park year ago. Joe worked full hour after his team mates had called it quits, swinging at pitches. He took his cut until he began to find the range of the walls, and you'll remember that it paid of in the series.
 Greenberg didn't have to work yesterday. Of all the men who star ted the series today he is the biggest star. His salary is tops in either league. He is the American League home run king with fl, the leader in doubles with 50, top man in bat ting in runs with 150 banged across the plate, a .340 hitter, and far from being the worst left fielder in the business.
 Hard Worker
 But Greenberg is a perfectioniSt. No one will ever know how many hours he practiced when he first went to Detroit as a first baseman. Not natural player, he had to get hsi skill the hard way. He was in the park every morning, practicing. He worked himself into one of the best first basemen.
 When they moved him to left field last spring, and gave first base to Rudy York, Greenberg started toil- ing all over again. He was the first man in the park and the last one to leave.
 "I'm going to learn to play the outfield if it kills me-" he said. T just don't want to be known as a big guy with big stick in my hand
 He was awkward as two left shoes when the season opened, but the finish of 1t found him better than average outfielder, and the most man in the league. He not only did a good job of left field but he had the best year of his career at bat. Never before had he hit as high as .340.
 Big Hank is the fellow the Red pitchers must stop if the National League is at last to win a World Series from the American. He was bouncing balls of the fence and the bleachers in batting practice. pick the Reds in six games but I'm not 50 sure after seeing Greenberg in that extra practice session. If he isn't satisfied with himself, and intends to increase the tempo of his havoc, then heaven help the Derringers, Walters, and the rest.

BRAINS, BRAWN'.
 WORLD SERIES. GETS UNDER WAY
Derringer,. Great Control Pitcher Gets His First
 Chance At Tigers
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor

Cincinnati, Oct. D. (UP) = It's power against pitching, brawn against brains at the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds open the World Series today.
 Favorites in the betting at 3 to ?, boosting four 300 hitters and a line- up loaded with enough power to break down the walls at Crosley field, the Tigers are the Goliaths of this struggle that starts at 1:3O p. m. (EsT on the banks of the Ohio.
 Against that awesome array the Reds will send a cunning, fast thinking ball club that is weak on hitting but has more good pitchers than a crockery merchant.
 The day dawned cloudy and cool with a slight breeze. The weather bureau had forecast light showers, but the chill winds were expected to drive of any rain.
 A warming sun broke through four hours before game time with a promise of almost ideal baseball weather.
 Cincinnati's half million residents made every hour a carnival time as the opening of the series approach ed. All of the 33,000 seats in Crosley Field are sold, grandstands have been built on roofs, window space in apartments overlooking the park sells for $1 a square yard and flags brighten the streets. Business will stop for two hours this afternoon when old Bill Klem dusts of the plate and tells the boys to go to 1t.
 For Detroit it will be Bobo New som, the fireball right handler, on the mound. Boosting record of 21 games won and only five lost dur ing the regular season, Bobo deliver ed himself an oration last evening, the gist of which was that he would blow the Reds down with his fast one.
 Looks Like Paul
 Deep, mysterious silence came from the Cincinnati Board of Strat- egy, and there is 8 fair chance that Deacon Bill McKechnie, the willy manager of the Reds, is cooking up 8 plot. He refused to name his start ing pitcher, but hinted that 1t would be one of his ace right handers-Paul Derringer or Bucky Walters. The best guess is that it will be Derringer, a cool, nervy citi- zen, who is just about the best con- trol pitcher in baseball.
 Despite the fact that their line- up is loaded with aged ball players, the Tigers are in good physical con- dition. Manager Del Baker will be able to field his strongest team and shoot in capable, able-bodied re- serves in emergencies.
 The Reds dressing room on the other hand, looks like the receiving ward of an emergency hospital. Little LonI1ie Frey, Ernie Lombardi and Jimmy Ripple are all casualties.
 Despite the casualty list, confi- dence runs through this city and McKechnie predicts victory no mat ter how much he has to patch his lineup. He thinks he has a better ball club than the outfit that went up against the New York Yankees last year and lost four straight games through jittery, uncertain fielding.
