-Detroit Jammed To‘ The Rafters With World Series Fans For Opener Today

By GAYLE TALBOT DETRQIT. 00¢. 2—'I‘his baseball- frenzied city was jammed to the rafters with World Series fans to- -day as Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs went through their final liinbering-up for tomorrow's open- ing tussle of the seven-game cham- pionship set. Not a hotel room was to be found by late arrivals, and two lake steamers being used as flout- ing hostels were similarly packed by the crowd that had flooded in to see the first peacetime series since 104i. Briggs Stadium. with its more than 55.000 seats, incli:d- ing some 14.000 bleachers, was cer- tain to be a sell-out at game time. 1:30 p.m. EST, 12:30 p.m. A.S.’I‘.) The rival managers, Steve O'- Neill and Charlie Grimm of the Cubs. stood pat on their pitching choices for liie opener.

He won l0 for the Yankees before the Cubs got him.

Tight: Remain Favorites

With Newhouser, a slim south- paw, prepared to bear down on the Cubs’ left-handed hitting ar- ray of Phll Cavarretta, Stan Hack and Bill Nicholson, the Tigers re- mained firm 5-to-7 favorites to win the opener, and 10-13 choice of the bookmakers to capture the series. The first three games will be played here, after which the clubs will jump overnight to Cri- cruzo to finish the set.

Borowy will have the important advantage of having pitched a- gainst the American League cham- pions for a number 1",! years while he was with the Yanks. He knows their hitting weaknesses, and Grimm has never wavered in his belief that the youthful-looking. mild-talking righthanclrr will get tile Ciibs off on the winning side. The Tigers, speaking privately. have expressed a lot oi respect for Boroivyls skill.

While O'Neill predicted flatly that his Tigers. who ad to fight right to the final day to sew up their flag. would oop- fure the series by four n!!!“

Manager Grimm arrived at. the oark early today, rwothod in an overcoat. and watched the Tigers go through a lengthy hlttin and fielding drill, He and O'Neil con- gratulated oach other on winning the pennants and posed for a bat- tery of cameras. .

Grimm thought he would be able to start his crack second baseman.

Mr. Molotov was said to have argued that when a group oi pow- ers rcached an agreement and then one 0r more of them realized their mistake they should recon- sider and repeal it.

To this Mr. Bevin is understood to have said he had never heard "anything more like Hitlerian methods". As soon as this was translated into Russian. the in formant added, Mr, Molotov walked toward the door of the council room. turned and said:

"Unless that remark is witn- drawn I am leaving the room and the conference."

There were a few seconds of sil-

‘Hie bill proposed today asks the President to work out a plan for making the project self-liquidat- ing through toll charges on ship- ping and make treaties with Canada covering pe tual naviga- tional rights on the akes and river and control of water diversion from Niagara Falls.

Sen. Aiken said the President and most senators were "enthusi- 1asUcally in favor" of immediate approval of the project.

When the latest agreement was reached in 194.1. the Canadian Government announced it would not seek parliamentary approval until Congress had passed on the plan. On a previous occasion. Car.- ada ratified a similar agreement in treaty form. but. it was rejected in 1942 by the United States Scri- ate

The power phase oi the project. it, is estimated. will cost about $266,000,000. Of this. Canada's burden would be $60,000,000. The United States would bear the re- maining oost, dividing the onus between the State of New York— expected to contribute $190,000,000 in return for rights to he American half of the power generated—and the federal treasury.

The navigation phase would open the river to ocean-going ships from Montreal to the head of the Lakes _-about 1.300 miles-and would in- volve construction of about 16 locks.

It has been estimated that the project would provide direct ein- ployment for 50,000 Canadians and Americans and indirectly employ as many more for at least four or five years.

“In grectdig you. gallant officers and men of the Second and Eighth Medium Batteries, and in bidding you welcome home on this memor- able occasion. I wish to congratu- late each and every one of you on our splendid service record on be- alf of this. Your native province. We welcome you. our native sons with all the warmth and affection characteristic of our fair City and our Province. Yes, we are proud of the record which you have made, proud of your achievements on the battlefield, and proud of the reports of your oflicers that "No finer boys are in uniform than those of the Prince Edward Island Regiments." Representing as you do the finest of our young mari- hood you have completed a noble and patriotic mission which will be engraved in the archives of the Do- minion of Canada and in those of your native Province. there to be- come an everlasting record on which posterity may look with pride and admiration, and which will be a silent memorial to your valiant efforts on behalf of ini- manity and civilization.

"We welcome you to the land of your birth and to your ancestral firesides. By your courage and bravery you have performed hero- icall abroad and we are glad be- yon expression to have you re- turning to this glorious country for which you have laboured and fought, here to become re-estab- lished and to take i111) anew the threads of civilian 1 e so rudely interrupted when you went forth to risk everything that your coun- try might enjoy freedom, and that the mighty forces of tyranny would be crushed and defeated. You have played a noble part in the Great Drama, and it is to your everlasting credit that the aims and banners of the Allied Nations huve~ been victorious in the most devastating war the world has ever experienc- ed

"For those of your Regiment who made the Supreme Sacrifice we mourn, and we offer reverent prayers to God for the ace and quiet of their souls. In t ese pray- ers let us ask the Almighty to grunt. that the blood which they and others of our defenders have shed in this war may become the seed of a greater and brighter fut-

ure.

“In welcoming you back to civ- llian lile may I express the hope that after choosing your avocatlon you will pursue it with the courage, bravery and initiative which you displayed in your actions of war days. A grateful Dominion of Canada is providing many op- unities for your future. It, is or you to take advantage of these and to profit thereby, and it is well to remember that success in life comes to those who have the de- termination to do good and the will power to resist evil, "I congratulate the Reception Committee who made the arrange- ments for this fine reception in your honor. They have contacted people from the place where each of you belong, even from the far- thcrmost points of this province, and cars are here ready to take you to your homes as soon as this reception and luncheon is over. The committee has also requested that flags and bunting be displayed by all citizens in the province in honour of your return and as an appreciation of your efi'orts while in uniform." “Everyone in Prince Edward Is- land 1,; glad to honour you and to welcome you incl: as our return- ing heroes, and it is a real pleas- ure t0 me to have the privilege of addressing these words of welcome to you on behalf of the citizens of Prince Edward Island on this happy occasion."
