CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 7. — Bucky Walters put on a one man show today as he pitched and batted the Reds back on even terms with the Detroit Tigers in the World Series. The tall moundsman shut out the Tigers 4 to 0 and allowed only five hits and batted in two runs, and a homer over the left field wall off Seattle's Freddie Hutchinson to win before 30,381 fans. The victory deadlocked the World Series, three victories for each club, with the final game coming up tomorrow in this city. Backed up by three double plays and some fielding gems, Walters was seldom in trouble as he pulled the Reds back into the series. Only 33 batters faced Bucky as he hung up his second victory of the present World Series, the Amer- jcan Baseball Classic. In 18 in-| hits; M.

The negotiations, now nearing completion, have been going on for several weeks, simultaneously with conversations regarding the securing of air and naval bases on strategic British islands in the Pacific. The British are urgently in need of long-range, great weight-carry- ing planes of the “Flying Fortress” and PBY type. Lack of ships of this kind is a vital weakness in British air -power. They have no planes capable of operating east of Berlin, which makes it impossible to strike at some of the Nazis' key war production centers located in what were formerly Austria and Czechoslovakia. A fleet of 25 “Flying Fortresses,” which have a cruising radius of over 5,000 miles, would bring the war home to the Germans where it would hurt most.

Walters Saves Body In Try for Fresh Life Doctors ExpeTment Seven Years fo Rejuvenate 19-Year-0ld Woman KEY WEST, Florida, Oct. 7. — Police today pieced together the trange story of Karl von Cosel, accused of keeping in his bedroom or seven years, the preserved body of a young woman he hoped to re- store to life. The man, a medical expert in «-ray, holding degrees from Leipzig University, is charged with remov- ng the body of a woman, 19, from ts grave, without permission. H Von Corsel was quoted by Deputy | Sheriff Ray Elwood as saying he ‘didn’t want one so beautiful to go to dust and tried experiments to cestore her to life with the hope still thege that if he lived long| enough he would bring her back.” Van Cosel declared he visited the crypt where the young mat-| ron’s body lay about two years after her death and decided to take the body away. He said he transferred it to Key| West's Marine Hospital to which he had ready access as a former x-ray employee, and there treated the body chemically for a week 'to restore decomposed parts and then brought it to his home where he| later applied beeswax to protect the | outer issue. — e PETER HLOECKNER, INDUSTRIALIT OF | GERMANY, IS DEAD Developer of Commercial Enterprises, He Had Ups and Downs BERLIN, Oct. 7.—Peter Kloeck- ner, 76, German industrialist, foun- der of the Essen-Kloeckner Mills, died here yesterday. i Kloeckner was one of the devel-| opers of the industrial Germany that arose and flourished in the| generation after the Franco-Prus- sian war; the heyday of such giants as August Thyssen, Hugo Stinnes and Ebil Kirdorff, to mention only a few, all of whom built big businesses under the paternal rule of Bismarck and Emperor William I Their interests interlocked fre- quently, and they formed a sort of oligarchy in western Germany in the control of the rich coal and ore basins of the Ruhr, Saar, Al- sace and Lorraine. Started With Stinnes Born at Coblenz, November 9, 1863, Kloeckner learned his busi- ness together with Hugo Stinnes as a fellow clerk, in the old iron merchants establishment of Carl Spaeter in the same town. He ad- vanced to a partnership, and be- came manager of one of the firm's branches, the Aumentz-Friede Min- ing Company in Lorraine. Like his compeers, Kloeckner seized the first opportunity to be- come independent. In 1806, hc founded the firm that bore his name: the Kloeckner Iron Trading Company of Duisburg, and then set about to bring a range of ore| producing firms under his control, the chief one being the Lorraine| Mining Union.
