That would be a victory for
Ecuador's Pancho Segura, the

Detroit Poised
for Effort 10
C|inch Series
Tises, Yonks ond
Red Sox Snipe
at St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1--(P)-The
Detroit Tigers, up from the sec
ond division to third place, just
three games behind the leaders,
by virtue of a dazzling August
squirt, will send the durable
Harold Newhouser against the
setting st. Louis Browns
tonight in an effort to clinch at
least an even break in their cru
cial four game series.
Between them Newhouser and
Paul Dizzy Trout, who racked
up his 23rd win in the opener of
the series here last night, 4 to 3,
have accounted for 13 of the 19
wins that kept the Tigers roll
ing along at a merry .704 clip
during the month just ended.
Eight of the 13 August victories
were credited to Trout, who is
two up on NeWhouser in games
won this season and has won his
last nine in row.
Trout, in a relief role, cut the
Brownies lead over the second
place New York Yankees to two
games last night. Willis Hudlin,
who pitched the last two in
nings for st. Louis in his first
appearance since leaving Little
Rock, was his victim.
The Tiger mound ace also
took a hand in fashioning the
winning run. With the count
tied at 3-all, he opened the ninth
with single but was forced at
second when Roger Cramer at
tempted to bunt. Cramer ad-
vanced on Eddie Mayo's ground
out and crossed the plate on a
single to right field by Michael
(Pinky) Higgins.
For six innings the game was
a pitchers duel between Frank
(Stub Overmire and Sig ia
kucki. The Tigers first broke
into the scoring column with
two runs in the seventh helped
by two Brownie misplays.
Don Gutteridge set the stage
for the first tally by fumbling
Jimmy Outlaws grounder. Paul
forced Outlaw and
Joe Hoover singled. Overmire
hit to Gutteridge and when Vern
Stevens dropped the throw at
second, trying for force play,
the bases were filled. Cramer
singled to left, scoring Richards
and Hoover.
st. Louis overcame that two
run lead, however, in the same
stanza. Myron Hayworth sim
gled with one down and Frank
Mancuso, batting for Jakucki,
slammed out two-bagger, Gut
teridge singled, scoring Shirley,
who ran for Hayworth, and
Mancuso.
That was all for Overmire,
who gave up nine hits. Trout's
entry into the picture was greet
ed with a single by Mike Kree-
vich, the first Of three hits the
dizzy one was to yield in the
two and tWo-thirls innings he
pitched. Pinch-hitter G. EN-
Moore famed and Stephens sim
gled off Rudy Yorks glove,
scoring Gutteridge with the last
ST. Louis marker.
The Tigers tied things up
again in the eighth when York
doubled and took third on Dick
Wakefield's grounder. Outlaw
hit TO Gutteridge and York,
caught between third and the
plate, scored when Mancuso's
throw struck him in the back
and the ball rolled into left field,
Trout shut the Browns out in
the eighth and ninth, in which
the Tigers scored their winning
tally.
St. Louis will send Nelson
Potter, a l3-game winner,
against Newhouser tonight.

bers of the Legislature" to OBJ

Smith gave the testimony at
start of protracted cross-exami-
nation, after he had asserted
earlier he and 80 or 40 other
small loan and finance company
operators had created q "slush
fund" and employed a lobbyist
to bride certain legislators In
1899.
He named the lobbyist as Maj.
Charles F. Hemans. Lansing at
torney and former University Of
Michigan Regent, and his story
remained unchanged after an
hour and a half of cross exami-
nation by Walter M. Nelson, of
defense counsel.
DONATED s15e
/ Smith reiterated testimony
that he opposed appointment of
Hemans, but ultimately contrib
uted $3.50 to the alleged slush
fund, and that the financiers
agreed at conference "in sub
stance that Mr.. Hemans was to
do the job (of protecting their
interests on small loan and fl
nance company regulatory bills),
and do 1t at any cost in money"
The witness said he could not

fund proposal and suggested He

Niles Finoncier Reveals
Opinion of Croft okers
'sIush Fund Lobbyist Employed

employed Claude j. Marshall,
Lansing attorney, as counsel,
whose work was not related to
the position of lobbyist.
Into the record in direct testi-
mony yesterday went Smiths
statement that at least three
assessment" were imposed on
finance companies by the group
to finance the Hemans lobby.
Cancelled checks and back &C
count records were accepted in
evidence which Special Prose-
cutor Kim Sigler said supported
the statement.
Sigler introduced in evidence
letters which bore the purport-
ed signature of Hancock as
treasurer of the groups "legis-
lative committee, which re-
ported enclosures of checks for
amounts ranging from $40 to
500 made payable to Hemans.
Frequently the letters complain
ed that many of the participat-
ing companies were slow to
meet assessments.
One of them, bearing the sal
utation Dear Charlie" read:
Il am very sorry to hear of
the serious illness of the old
ExChequer, but l am sure he
will get well again-he always
does.
Il have $500 in the bank ac-
count, SO am sending you $40

sure of old ExChequer's brother

point.
CITES TRANSMISSION
Il have put through a few tel
ephone calls for blood donors,
and l hope to have a supply of
new energy within the next few
days at which time l hope we
can make the TRANSMISSION.
Defense counsel protested
that introduction of the letters
violated the privilege of COM
munications between attorney
and client.
Circuit Judge Leland w.
Carr, whose one-man grand jury
issued the warrant and who is
conducting the hearing, over
ruled the objection, declaring
there was mot one word" of
testimony in the record that an
attorney - client relationship
existed in the employment of
Hemans.
Another letter bearing Han
cocks purported signature sug-
gested small loan and finance
company legislators should at
tend a party" in Detroit to
which it said Representative
George N. Higgins, Ferndale
Republican, had invited the
House of Representatives to be

invited his House colleagues to

steak dinner and floor show,
suggesting that the financiers
might find it advantageous to

Shifty Turks
Feel Squeeze
Allies Begin to
Appeor liked

ANKARA, March q (R -
Reports were current here today
that Britain has halted the de-
livery of both military and CT
william supplies to Turkey as q
result of the recent collapse of
British-Turkish military talks.
While there was no confirma-
ton from Turkish officials, 1t
was obvious that they were dis
turbed by the reports, which
were interpreted in some quar-
tiers as part of campaign to
high pressure Turkey into en-
tering the war on the side OF the
Allies.
dispatches from Lond o n
said that official British sources
declined to comment on the
Ankara reports but declared
there was a disposition in Lon
don to believe they might be
true. The London dispatches
added that Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden might make a
statement in the House of Com
mons shortly on relations with
Turkey.)
1t also was reported without
confirmation that American
lend-lease material was includ-
ed in the stoppage. II the report
concerning the British action is
correct, however, this might be
so, for most sea-borne ship
ments to Turkey arrive in Brit
ish bottoms and the overland
routes are under British control.
Some quarters held that If the
British have stopped shipments
of war material to Turkey il
might mean that they have now
written Turkey out Of the pic
ture as a possible military ally
and that they are planning
campaign against Southeastern
Europe as an alternative.
1t seemed unlikely, at any
rate, that Turkish policy could
be influenced by the reported
stoppage-if that we're Britain S
intent.
Taking cognizance Of sugges-
tons that this might be Britain's
plan, one highly placed Turk
said:
1T looks as though they are
trying to work on our nerves,
but they must remember we
are people with strong nerves"
