they "are eternally right upon the
great issue, and the all important
one, of a third term
Johnson's call for the election
of Willkie was hailed by Republi-

(By Associated Press

The Cleveland Indians slipped
quietly out and backed away yes

troit Tigers in possession of the
American League by half a game
while all the other teams in the

The loss was Clevelands seventh
setback in eight games and forced
the club out of first place for the

This development set the stage
for a two-game series between the
