Washout Causes First Posfponemenf Since
 Tanks Met 6ianfs

EBBETS FIEDL, Brooklyn, Oct. 8. The third game of the World Series betw cen the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers was postponed today by Baseball Commissioner Landis after steady rain left the field unplayable.
 Before making a final decision, however, Judge Landis called the U. S. Weather Bureau at the New York Airport and was told there was no chance that the sun would come out later in the day and that 1t probably would go right on raining
 Today marked the first World Series postponement since the sec- ond game between the Yankees and Giants at the Polo Grounds in 1886. The all-time record postponement for the World Series was in 1911, when the Giants and Athletics were washed out six straight days and everybody went nuts ss.S P ~

 These workers are the staff of the naval defense Investigating committee. which under instruc- tions from Rep Carl .vinson O. Ga,), chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee, and on House

B0kBINGLULL ENDS AZ NAz| PLIERS ATTACK

LONDON, Oct. 8. = Signalling perhaps the end of the long sum- mer lull in the Battle for Britain, German bombers smashed for hours against five cities on the is land kingdoms southeast and northeast coasts last night.
 Bombs also fell on southeast Scotland during the night.
 Attacking in the full light of the harvest moon, the German raiders were reported to have dropped their bombs and then re- turned to machine gun fire fight CTS and rescue squads in the streets. At least ten persons were killed and 50 wounded in one town which was damaged. Casualties elsewhere were admittedly heavy.
 In the meantime, RAF bombers countered with assaults on the docks of occupied Brest. where several Nazi warships are lying.

WASHINGTON = The President doesn't realize it, but his beloved Navy has been giving him the royal runaround right under his nose on more things than one. Most recent and amazing runaround was regard ing the new mystery ships called Sea Otters."
 These are flat steel barges with a 1O-foot draft-so shallow that they are almost impossible targets for submarines. Submarine torpedoes would pass right underneath them. Propelled by automobile engines, these ships can be manufactured so rapidly that they are expected to pc the miracle bridge across the Allan tic in defiance of Hitler's submar- ines.
 Yet it took the President weeks to persuade his Navy to build these ships!
 The inside story sounds like one of those Ut Can't Happen Here plOto it uIu. tiC AASiA "-> actually designed the new sea barges were young naval officer, Com mander Ham Bryan, and a naval architect, w. s. Burgess. But when they took their plan to the Navy, the Admirals threw up their hands. So did the Maritime Commission.
 The admirals and the commission CTS both claimed that a flat-bottom- ed boat would turn over in heavy seas. Also they were opposed to the use of automobile engines, even though they could be manufactured as fast as Ford makes automobiles. There were dozen other objections.
 But finally Commander Bryan took his plan to Roland Redmond. New York lawyer who married Sara Delano, a Roosevelt relative. Redmond in turn took Bryan and Burgess to the White House. The President, who is something of an amateur naval designer, was immed- lately enthusiastic. He urged the Navy to try it out. The President

 A gigantic new development" which opened on the front within the past 48 hours made it especially difficult for him to leave his field headquarters. Hitler added.
 'The decision is now being fought out for the next hundred years" he shouted amid the thunderous cheers of thousands assembled in the Berlin Spoftspalast.

 Hitler declared that before the war Germany sought particularly to reach settlement with Britain but Churchill asked for war. Russia failed to live up to her nonaggres- sion pact with Germany and mob- ilized on the Reich's borders, he continued.

New York Papers Fooled By PhOny Football Teams

New York, Nov. I5.--UP)-De- emphasis note: Plainfleld (N. JD Teachers College has abandoned football.
 The unkeaten and united streak of the Flying Pigments is nipped in the bud. No more will their stellar Chinese halfback, Johnny Chung, partake of wild rice at half. time and go tearing into the oppo- sitlon with the effectiveness of Popsye after Q helping of spinach. Their urorthodox lineup. with the ends facing the backneld, never again will confuse the enemy.
 The Flying Pigments not only are unheaten and united. They are unreal. But for the better part of thLs football season their fabulous deeds on the gridlron received due notice in some of the nations lead- ing newspapers. They found tkeir way into the weekly table Of per- fect.record teams and probably would have kept their slate intact through the rest of the season fl somebody hadn't spilled the beans. They might even have been invited to Q howl.
 Imaginary
 The denouinent reveal cd that there is no sti:h school as plainfleld Teachers college. That It's string of victims Chesterton, Scott, Winoma, Randolph Tech, IngerSoll, Appa- lachian Tech, Harmony Teachers and St. Joseph are as elfln as Johnny Chung. That the hoax was fo:Sted on the newspapers for the fun of 1t by the boys at Newburger, Loeb & Cohen, Q Wall street brok- craze firm.
 The pranksters did the thing up brown. They hired Q 'coach", a publicity man" and even Subsidiz- ed" few players. Every week the Phantom Press agent, Jerry Croy- den, called or meSSaged the New York papers with the Plalnfield scores. The coach, "Hurry-Up" Hoblit1el, Spearflsh 'Se, was noted for his unique ofyense with the ends doing part-time backfield duty.
 About the nearest thing to Q spec tatcr the Flying Pigments had was Morris Newburger of the brokerage 1rm, who insists he saw one of the games in his sleep.
 Chung was credited with scoring @ of plainfelds IF points in its 1rst seven games. one New York sports writer did stirring story on him.
 Plainsleld's brief but terrific saga as Q pigskin power ended last Tues day when an anonymous tip6ter toned the Herald Tribune sports de- partmert.
 Irving Marsh Of the Herald -Trib- une ran down the Flying Pigments by calling Piainfleld and Ascertain- ing there was no Teachegs College in the vicirlty.
 The gag finally was traced to the wall street establishment and the perpetrators admitted it eadly.
