The conference is being held at Brenner Pass and reports are circulated that “big events” are in the offing. In Rome, Fascist Editor Gayda asserted that the Brenner Pass con- ference is not a plot to involve any other country in war. “Italy and Germany are not thinking of fixing the date for the md of the war,” Gayda added, but giving a point on guarded Nazi- {Continued on Page Twu) Cthe WASHINGTON — One reason President Roosevelt and his naval advisers are not greatly perturbed about Japan’s signing a formal al- liance with Hitler and Mussoliniis a confidential survey U.

This reveals that Japanese war- ships only have on hand enough oil for about two and one-half months of warfare, Japan gets its oil chiefly from California and the Dutch East Indies, having almost no supplies of its own. That, of course, is one reason she covets the Dutch East Indies. However, naval surveys also show that the capture of these is- lands will not be as easy as might be expected. For the Dutch islands of Java and Sumatra have been preparing for the threat of Japanese inva- sion for two years. About 20 Dutch submarines are stationed in these waters, plus about 300 bombing planes, many of them purchased in the United States.

DETROIT, Oct. 4—The Detroit Tigers exploded a 13-hit barrage this afternoon In the third World Series game to overwhelm the Cincinnati Reds 7 to 4 and gain a two to one advantage in the series. The Tigers won the opener at Oincinnati on Wednesday, the Reds winning yes- terday on their home grounds. ‘Today, Pudy York and Frank Hig- gins supplied Detroit with homers in the seventh inning that broke up a sparkling pitching duel between Turner of the Reds and Bridges of the Tigers, both from Tennessee. The sun broke belatedly through the morning mist to provide bright cool weather. The big park was sold out to 55,000 fans. Four Basers Both four basers came with a Tiger aboard and Higgins's wallop, a high one, went into the upper left field stands and sent Turner to the showers. Whitey Moore got the side out. Moore was lifted for a pinch nitter by Cincinnati in the eighth and Joe Beggs went to the Reds’ hill in the last half only to be shelled for two more runs. Bridges was touched for two runs and three hits in a staggering fin- ish. Until the big Detroit outburst, Turner and Bridges pitched superb- 'y. The Reds got to Bridges for a first-inning run on a double by Bill Werber and a single by Ivar Good- nan. After Goodman's hit, Bridges retired twenty-one of the next twen- ty-three men facing him. Detroit tied the score in the fourth ‘nning on singles by Barney Me- “osky, Charles Gehringer and Rudy York. The biz seventh inning was op- ened by Hank Greenberg with a line drive single and hefore the inning vas over the Tigers had batted around. York, number two man of Detroit's famous Greenberg-York one-two pinch, hit a towering drive to the left field stands. Before Tur- ner could regain his poise Bruce Campbell singled and Higgins belted 1 homer into the upper left field “avilion. The paid attendance was 52,878. Higgins’ clout finished Turner and Whitey Moore got the side out. The Reds fought gamely to the last putting together three singles for a run in the eighth and the same number of blows and an error counting for a pair of tallies in the ninth. e ———— BATES RETURNS W.
