FIRST 5 O; WIN
NIGHTCAP 6 TO 5
Chisox' Challenge Falls
Short AS Detroit Lead
Tightens

DETROIT, Sept. 7. -(R)- The
Detroit Tigers beat off a challenge
Of the Chicago White Sox for the
American Leagues fourth place
today by sweeping double-header
5 to 0 and 6 y 5, before a slim
crowd of 1862 in a bill postponed
from yesterdays holiday program.
It was the days only major lea
que action.
Paul Dizzy Trout gained his
7th victory and fifth shutout in
the opener by scattering seven
hits. In the nightcap Virgil Trucks
came in as Detroit's fourth pitcher
to stamp out Chicago's ninth in
ming rally that produced three
runs and put the potential winning
run on second base.
The big ninth likewise included
the bounding of Manager Steve
O'Neill of the Tigers for the first
time this season. O'Neill was
thumbed from the premises by UNI
pire Bill MCGOWAN in a protest
over Dick Hodgin's theft of third
base.
Trout was backed by a ten-hit
attack off Lefty Edgar Smith that
included homers by Rudy York and
Pinky Higgins. 1t was York's 31st
of the year. The Tigers got two
unearned runs in the fourth after
Catcher Mike Tresh's wild throw,
and that was enough for Trout.
Against him Chicago advanced
two men as far as second and
none to third.
In the nightcap the Sox spotted
Orval Grove a two-rm lead as LET
| ty Hal Newhouser developed a
streak of wildness, but Detroit got
three in the third on a rally topped
by Jimmy Bloodworth's double.
Timely hits by Higgins and Ned
Harris drove in three more in the
fourth.
john Corsica, who got credit
for his third victory, bfeezed along
until the ninth when Hal White
and then Trucks were rushed in
from the bullpen. Hodgin's single
and an error produced two runs,
and another scored on Joe KuheP S
infield out. Trucks then got Skeeter
Webb on a fly ball to end the
game.
Score by innings:
First Game:
Chicago ------ 900 900 1000 7 l

Germans May Intend
To Defend Continent
Beginning At Paris

BERN, Switzerland. Sept. Up
"A Paris dispatch to the Tribune
de Geneve said today that con-
struction of a chain of fortifica-
tons in Paris and its outskirts
confirms German intentions to de-
fend the city street by street in
the event of Allied invasion.
The dispatch said the populace
had wondered whether, in the
event of invasion, Paris would be
declared an open city as in 1910
but that this had been dispelled
by workers of the Todt labor Or
ganization building an entire sys-
tenn of defenses within the city
and a protective belt of forts in
the suburbs.
Many families have left for Brit
tany and small villages in the in

Attempting To Escape
Trapped in the northeast cor
ner of the island by French
troops, patriots and American
Rangers, the Germans were at
tempting to escape to the main
land, but were being blasted out
of the air just as they were in
similar attempts to evacuate Tu-
nisia and Sicily.
A French conmunique said in
creasing numbers of French
troops had landed on Corsica and
were cooperating with the patriots
and Americans in exerting heavy
pressure on the entrapped Ger
mans. THE combined action of
Allied bomber and naval forces
is rendering their evacuation very
precarious,' the bulletin said.
It disclosed that German troops
were repulsed in sharp engage
ment in the eastern part of the
st. Florient area in northern Cor
sica.
French fighter planes which
moved to the island soon after
fighting began shot down two

bombers swooped over the dis
trict of Ajaccio, French-held cap
ital on the west coast, and drop

munique said the bombs did no
damage.
Important
The destruction of the trans
port planes was considered espe-
cially important because the Ger
mans were believed to have filled
them with highly trained techni-
cal personnel. A Northwest Afri-
can Air Force announcement said
two of the destroyed transports
were known to have contained
total of 100 men and the others
were believed to have been equal
ly heavily loaded.

AS the Sydney passed astern of
the raider, the Nazl ship opened up

Wholesale Commodity
Index Turns Down

The rising trend in the general
level Of wholesale commodity prices
was halted last week, according to
the wholesale price index compiled
by the National Fertilizer Associa-
ton, which was fractionally lower.
In the week ended February 81,
1912, this index fell off to 1348 from
134.9 in the preceding week. A
month ago the index stood at 1899
and year ago at l23.5, based on
the 1935-1939 average as 100.
The slight drop in the all-com-
modify index last week was due
primarily to declining prices for
foodstuffs and some farm products.
Sharply lower prices for oranges
and potatoes were responsible for
a second decline In the food price
index Despite these declines, the
food index is 13 per cent above
the corresponding week a year ago.

Raider Sank Nine Ships.
The Kormoran sank nine Allied
ships before her meeting with the
Sydney.
Her six 59-inch guns were slowed
in holds and raised by hydraulic

two underwater and two on each
side of the ship. She carried an
Arado 1876 plane and a half dozen
anti-aircraft guns as well as four
range finders.
The Sydney carried eight 21-inch
torpedo tubes, eight 6-inch guns and
one plane.
