PhiIs Come Apart at Seams
Sowyer's Men Blast Own Hopes
BY SHpshod Play, Williams Says

keeping his eyes on the ball, he
took a peek to see whether it would
be easier to make a force play at
second or fire the ball to first. And
that one little failure to observe
one Of the cardinal rules of base
ball probably resulted in the bob
BILE which allowed the Yankees to
slide off the hook.
Hammer got to the grounder all
right. But he didn't come up with
it cleanly. And before he could
find the handle. all runners were
safe and the score was tied at two
runs apiece.
The other infield slip came in
the ninth and started the Yanks
toward their game-winning run.
Jimmy Bloodworth, elderly for a
ball player and no longer agile,
was playing second base for the
Phils. When Gene Woodling
raped a slow roller his way with
two out, Jimmy wasn't quick
enough or his feet to make the
play in time.
This grounder was ruled an in
field hit because Woodling beat
the threw to first. But Mike
Gollat. the regular second base
man Bioodworth had relieved,
probably would have turned it in
to the final out of the inning.

Reds Reports Conflict.
On Troops in Tibet
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LONDON. Oct. THE Chinese
Communist radio made a cryptic
statement last night about Red
troops entering Northern Tibet
The Chinese Embassy (Com-
munist) in New Delhi denied that
Communist troops had entered the
isolated Himalayan land.
An Indian government spokes-
man and a member of a Tibetan
delegation currently in New Delhi
negotiating the future status OF
Tibet said they had no word of
any such development. There was
a report in the Indian capital that
the Communists have seized the
Eastern Tibetan province of Khan,
but Tibet's finance minister, also
in New Delhi, said he hadn't heard
anything like that, either.
The Chinese radio statement
about Tibet came in a summary of
the past years activities in Sin
kiang Province. It was made by
Wang Chen, secretary of the Sin
kiang Communist Party. and said:
When the Peoples Republic of
China was founded, reactionary
forces still controlled Sinkaing.
But as the Peoples army ad-
vanced, the Kuomintang and pro-
vincial troops revolted and crossed
over to the side of the people.
Peoples troops, cooperating
with friendly multinational ar
mics. brought liberation to the
whole province and also entered
Northern Tibet"
