ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
IN FIRST GIL TODAY
ST. LOUIS, Oct, 1. (/P)—A four
run rally made in the third in
ning and the blasting home of two
more by Simmons on a home-run in
the seventh inning gave the Phila
delphia Athletics a victory over the
St, Louis Cardinals in the opening
game of the World Series played
here.
St. Louis got off to a great start
against the supposedly invincible
pitcher, Grove, with a two-run rally
in the opening inning. The Card
inals, however, saw their giant
light-handed rookie. Derringer,
crumble before the dynamite Ath
letics’ bats. The Cardinals got out
side the American champs by get
ting 12 hits off Grove, as the lanky
southpaw coasted in, with men on
oases, his fire ball which he kept
♦ shooting up to the plate through
me haze of an Indian summer af
ternoon. He stopped the Cardinals
and his mates contributed sensa
tional support when needed.
The crowd of 38,529 fans all but
packed the park and contributed
5161,161 to the gate.
The time of the game was one
nour and 55 minutes. The next
game will be played in St. Louis to
morrow and will be called at 1:30
p. m., Central Standard Time.

WEATHER COITIONS
TO DETERMINE ROUTE
PANCOORN, HERNDON
SAMUSHIRO, Oct. 1. (/P)— Pang
born and Herndon said that they
planned to follow the great circle
route, a course somewhat north of
the steamship lanes but their de
tailed course will depend upon the
weather conditions encountered
during the flight.
At the start the course parallels
the Kurile Islands for 700 miles to
the northward and which distance
they expect to make in five and
one-half hours. They will then
head for the Aleutian Islands which
they expect to reach in 14 hours.
If the visibility is good they will
skirt the Aleutians, checking a
course on their charts for 900 miles
until they sight Dutch Harbor.
In the event of storms and fog
after they pass Attu Island, the
plan is to hold a compass course
north of the Aleutians and expect
to pass the Dutch Harbor region
in 21 hours after taking off.
Puget Sound will be reached in
from 38 to 40 hours. Pangborn and
Herndon hope to fly as far as Salt
Lake City.
The plane weight will be about
9,000 pounds. A new, irregularly
shaped “chin” tank, just under the
motor, carries 00 gallons of gas and
gives an additional fuel supply.
They now have about 900 gallons
which should be enough to stay in
the air and travel about 5,500 miles
if they can maintain their cruising
range of about 120 miles per hour.
