Detroit Tigers Are
World Champions

With Winning Run

That Told The Story
Score by innings:
R H E
TIGERS 100 101 001-4 12 1
CUBS 001 020 000?3 12 0
48.420 fans sat in Navin Field,
Detroit today and watched Mickey
Cochrane's Tigers hand the Chi
cago Cubs a licking for the World
Series championship. In the first
inning the Cubs went to bat and
were retired in one-two-three or
der by Tommy Bridges. When
the Tigers came to bat, Clifton was
out on first, but Cochrane singled,
Gehringer singled, sending Coch
rane to second. Fox followed Gos
lin, who flew out to Jurges, and
knocked a two- bagger, scoring
Cochrane for the first score of the
game. That ended the scoring un
til the third, when Jurges scored
on Herman's hit to knot the count.
Walker put the Tigers ahead
again in the fourth when he scored
on Clifton's hit, but the Cubs came
back when Herman knocked a
home run with French scoring a -
head of him. This ended the scor
ing for Chicago.
Rogell doubled, chalking up the
tying score for Detroit when he
scored on Owen's hit. Bridges
struck out to retire the side.
Things then slipped along until
the ninth with neither side scor
ing. In the Cub half of the ninth
Stanley Hack, third baseman, came
to bat and knocked a tree-bagger,
but little Tommy Bridges settled
down and retired the next three
men in good order, at the same
time holding Hack to third base.
The Tigers came to bat with Clif
ton as lead off man. He struck
out. Mickey Cochrane followed
him, getting a single. Gehringer
was out at first, but Mickey was on
second. Goslin came up and sing
led to right field for his lone hit of
the day, scoring Cochrane with the
winning run for today's game and
for the World's Series:

Aduwa has fallen, and the flag of

This was the Sunday story from the
war in Ethiopia.
There were 'numerous deaths on
both sides," reported Ras Seyoum, com
manding Emperor Haile Selassie's
black warriors in the Aduwa-Adigrat
area.
A report to London spoke of belch
ing Italian machine guns and "ter
rible slaughter." The Italians, this re
port said, claim "more than 2,000 were
mowed down before, the way to Aduwa
was opened.''
Thus, the military campaign which
President Rosevelt has called war and
which Italy has described as "police
measures" ? and which Ethiopia insists
is "aggression" ? marked its first Sab
bath and its fourth day.
Italy As Aggressor
At Geneva, the "Committee of Six"
of the League of Nations completed its
report. Indications are the report
names Italy as the aggressor.
What action the League may take
upon Ethiopia's demand for the im

County Garage
Destroyed By Fire
Sunday Morning
Building In Flames When Fire
Discovered. Total Loss Of
Building, Tools, Equip
ment, Etc.
TEXTBOOKS ARE SAFE
The redrying plant owned by the
Person Union Tobacco Company and
leased by the county as a repair shop
ifor trucks was totally destroyed with
all contents in an early morning blaze
Sunday. The loss to the tobacco com
pany was estimated at $1250.00, while
the county and state losses was placed
in the neighborhood of $5000.00, mak
ing a total estimated loss of $6250.00.
In the building was all the county's
equipment such as tools and machinery
used in the repair of school trucks,
etc., while the state had a stock of
goods used by the county. The biggest
individual loss was the state equip
ment. Five trucks, two of which were
used for hauling purposes, were des
troyed. The other three trucks were
used last year, but were not in use
during the present term. The
trucks were insured but everything else
was a total loss. It is thought that the
state will realize $300.00 or $400.00 in
insurance from the trucks. This money
will probably be turned over to the
county superintendent of education for
the purpose of reequiping the county
garage. For the present Mr. John
Jones, county mechanic, has establish
ed garage headquarters at Brooksdale
in an old building owned by the coun
ty and formerly used for this purpose.
The tobacco company lost its build
ing and some redrying equipment not
in use at the time of the fire.
Fortunately the textbooks for
schools, which are under the direct
supervision of the county superintend
ent, and which had been stored in the
garage, had been moved to another
storage place about ten days ago.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
A man living near the scene of the dis
aster said that he awoke at about 4:00
a. m. Sunday morning and smelled
something burning, but upon getting
out and looking around, saw nothing.
About an hour later the negro servant
for the family came in, also smelling
smoke, but still not suspecting the
proximity of the fire. At about 9:10 a.
m. the fire was identified and the a
larm turned in, but when Chief J. M.
O'Briant and his fire fighters arrived
on the scene the building was in a
complete blaze and despite valiant ef
forts on their part, the fire gained
headway, burning everything in its path
octroying the building and all con
tained therein.
Mr. R- L. Redmond, who roomed in
the building, was not in his room at
the time of the fire.
Gasoline stored in underground
tanks located beneath the building
were not reached by the fire and re
mained intact with their contents safe.
It was thought that they contained
about one hundred gallons of gaso
line. Large quantities o i oil were des
troyed which caused a black pall of
smoke to hang over the town. through
out the day Sunday. \
Higher Prices
Asked For Hogs
Chicago, Oct. 3 ? Trade in hogs w&?
practically at a standstill early today/
as salesmen demanded higher prices,
because of a small run, and buyers
were bearish. A few good light hogs
were sold at 10 cents higher figures.
No early top was established, but the
choice medium weights were held at
$11.15. Supply was 7,000 and included
2,500 sent direct to packers.
Not many choice steers were on sale
and prices were steady to strong for
all that suited shippers. Common and
medium grades sold slowly. Cows and
heifers were steady to strong.
Bids on lambs were steady, but
higher prices were asked early.

Sales Light For
The First Week
Averages Were Cut Down Owing To
Inferior Grades
The market opened with good sales
at each of the houses, but after the
opening day sales were light and the
tobacco offered was not so good as on
the opening day. Farmers in this sec
tion have not stripped very much of
their crop, having been taking the time
to sow wheat and other small grain.
This morning, Monday, the houses
all have a pretty good lot on their
floors and prices seem to be very sat
isfactory on the few piles which had
been sold when last we visited the
sales. However, with the cool, yes, we
might say, cold weather we are hav
ing sales will probably be light for a
few days, at least until the weather
moderates.

Bond Issue Of "Not More Than
$94,000" Authorized By
Board of Commis'ners
In another column will be found a
notice entitled "A Resolution Author
izing $94,000 school Bonds By the
County Of Person And Providing For
The Payment Of The Principal And
Interest Thereof" which is a resolu
tion passed by the county Board of
Commissioners authorizing the Issu
ance of bonds in amount of $94,000 to
be used in the construction addition,
and repair to school buildings thru
out the county. Some weeks ago this
paper carried a story to the effect
that PWA officials had granted Person
County $170,000 fr the construction of
these buildings, forty-five per cent of
which will be a direct grant under
the $4,880,000,000 relief appropriation
of the government, and fifty-five per
cent of which, or in round numbers,
$94,000, will be borrowed by the county.
As is perhaps known to many read
ers of this newspaper the money will
be used to construct two new build
ines. put an addition to Roxboro High
School, some necessary repair work at
Central Grammar School here and
seme other repairs that are deemed
to be ui gently needed.
Should the resolution stand as pass
ed then steps will soon be taken to
begin the construction c' tnese var
ious proj'cts.
