The Reds did not get a hit until Lombardi singled in the eighth inning. For seven and one-third innings, Pearson was on his way to the first no-hit game ever pitched in a World Series, but Ernie Lom- bardi stabbed a sharp liner direct- ly over second base to break this streak. Again in Ninth In the ninth inning, Bill Wer- ber shot another bounder through shortstop for the Red's second safety. Even so, Pearson, who had a no- hitter last year against the Cleve- land Indians on August 27, the series record held by Pennock since '97. Yanks Break Out Herb The Yankees broke out with their | batting power in the third inping this afternoon for three runs on| five hits off Bucky Walters, right- hander, converted from a third baseman. Babe Dahlgren sent a tremendous drive to the left field stands for a home run in the fourth inning and this completed the scoring. Crowd Enthusiastic This early bombardment created such enthusiasm among the crowd of 59,791 with receipts of $226,000, that the full effect of Pearson's magnificent huriing was not fully realized until long about the sixtn frame when the New York's guns|ing Keller and sending DiMaggio the news that ro further sessions were finally silenced by Walters after produeing at least one hit in every earlier inning. Pearson’s performance was the first series shutout since Lon War- neke, of the Chicago Cubs, stopped | the Detroit Tigers, 3 to 0, in the first game of the 1935 classic. Walters’ Good Performance ‘Walters never gave a single pass but nine hits he gave in the early innings were offset by his control in the thunderous third. Dahlgren pounced the ground rule by his double to the left field boxes, 400 feet from the home plate. Pearson sent him to third with a sacrifice and Dahlgren scored easily as Billy Myers muifed Frank Crosetti’s grounder ~momentarily, although Crosetti was thrown out. Then Rolfe singled and raced home as Charley Keller lofted a tremen- (Continued on Page Three) | BOKSCORE | | Werber, ’Fx'ey. 3b i'Goodman xf. McCormick. Lombardi, Craft, cf Berger, If. | Myers, ss.

Hitler Speech Awaited Germans pinned their hopes for peace on the Hitler speech. Observ- ers seeking a hint as to what he will say knew he was dissatisfied with the attitudes indicated by Prime Minister Chamberlain and Lord Halifax in speeches this week The Nazi attitude is that the war in the east is finished and the con- flict in the west was never started. Sub Lands at Ireland FEarnest British press attention was directed toward a German sub- marine which landed 28 men from the torpedoed Greek steamer Di- mantis on the Irish Coast yester- day.
