The Tigers and In dams have
scheduled a double-header for to-
morrow starting AT 40 in Briggs
Stadium If both games should
be raincd out tomorrow the Tigers
would win the American League
pcnnant despite what happens in
the remaining two games against

The Tigers have open dates
Thursday and Friday but the
Indians would be unable to re-
mann over 20 play of postponed
games. as they are scheduled for
those two days in St Louis.
The season must end with Sun
days game. The Washington
Senators now holding second
place have finished their season
and can only win the American
League pennant if the Tigers lose
all four games. If they lose three
there would be playoff for the
championship between Detroit and
Washington next Monday.
If Detroit plays only two games,
even if both result in defeats,
they viii win the pennant The
difference i'm the number of
games between the two teams
would prove their winning margin.
Weather predictions are for
more rain tomorrow.

Churchill Uncorks Blast
Against Labor Government

received a heavy vote from peo-
pie belonging to other parties.
Many of these were middle class
folk who decided to give labor
chance to demonstrate what it
could achieve. So the Labor gov
ernment's mandate comes in
part from those who previously
voted the conservative ticket.
DANGER POINT
However, that's not the whole
story. There Is an extreme left
wing of British Socialism which
certainly aims at the full regi-
mentation Of the population -
that is to say, Totalitarian rule.
Churchilps speech is receiving
the enthusiastic support of the
Conservative press. Still, there
are observers who hold the view
that the Conservative offensive,
as projected by Mr.. Churchill,
could have the effect of driving
the moderate Socialists into the
camp of the extremists. Such a
contingency might produce the
regimentation against which the
Conservatives are fighting. Time
alone will tell.
