CLEVELAND WINS THE WORLD SERIES

Gene Bearden Saves The WORLD SERIES CROWDS JAM BOX OFFICE

Game In Eighth Inning

By GAYLE TALBOT

Boston, Oct. 11. — Relief pitcher Gene Bearden went in with the bases loaded in the eighth, chocked a Boston Brave rally and gave the Cleveland Indians the sixth and deciding game of the World Serica today by a score of 4-3.

The screaming crowd of 40,103 saw by far the most exelting game reach a climax with the Boston rout of starting pitcher Bob Lemon in the eighth.

With the score 4-1 in favour of Cleveland, outfielder Tommy Holmes singled, shortstop' Al Dark doubled and first baseman Earl Torgeson walked to rout Lemon with only one out.

Promoters In Revolt Against British Boxing Control Board

By ARCHIE QUICK

An attempt is to be made to break the shackles with which the British Boxing Board of Control have bound the game.

Promoters are in revolt and the bone of contention is the five percent nett gate which the Board claims and obtains from all tournaments,

An unofficial meeting is to be held among promoters who contend that the Board is not legally constituted, in fact self-appointed as well as being altogether too autocratic and secretive in its work.

The Board, on the other hand, says that since it came into being it has cleaned up the game, given better
