LONDON, Oct.

6. OP) Shaken by no other event in recent years, the British nation today mourned loss of its once proud mistress of the air, the R-101, giant dirigible which Saturday night scuttled across the murky skies in an appointment with death. From throne and pulpit, slum and Mayfair lamentation, and condolences went up tonight as British hearts, torn as few things have torn them since the war, extended the sympathies of the nation to survivors and families of the dead. Until the final trials before the start for India, the R-101 had not been in flight since before last Christmas. As late as Wednesday a trial flight of the dirigible developed a minor defect in the oil cooler, which broke down.

This wit declared not to be due to any structural defect, and the engines were said to have functioned perfectly. Immediately on receipt of official news of the disaster, King George sent the following telegram from Sandringham to Premier MacDonald: "I am horrified to hear of this national disaster which has befallen the airship R-101, and the consequent serious loss of life, including that of Lord Thompson, my air minister.

Including John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, and W. N. Doak of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen. Many observers believe the choice lies between these two, although other names frequently crop up In the discussions.

Mr. Hoover is prepared to make known his selection shortly after the November election should Secretary Davis be success ful at that time In his race for the senate from Pennsylvania. Anticipating victory for Mr. Davis, friends of various men in line for the labor post have been In creasingly active lately. Both Doak and Lewis are Republicans and were active supporters of Mr.

AS CARDS HOLD ATHLETICS 3-1 Haines is Hurling Hero for Day, Giving Up Only Four Singles BIRDS GIVEN BREAKS Old Right Hander Makes Hit Which Ties Score Against World Champions By ALAN J. GOULD Associated Pre Sport Editor SPORTSMAN'S PARK, St.

Louis, Oct. 5 (AP) The Red Birds, the full flight of one of the greatest of world's series comebacks, flew up to even terms today with the Athletics, deadlocking the baseball battle at two games each. They swooped down on the great Moses (Lefty) Grove and beat the famous southpaw, to 1, while his defense crumbled about him, and his heavy artillery was effectively spiked after the first inning by 37-year-old Jesse Joseph Haines In a highly dramatio fight the fourth game of the series. With the roaring echo of a home town crowd of 39,946 fans reverberating the veteran hlght hander ot the Cardinals even the brilliant southpawkig of BUI Hal-lahan, hero of yesterday's St Louis victory, as he burled the high-flying Red Birds to their second straight conquest Haines held the slugging Mack-men to four singles altogether and, although a trifle wild at times, he allowed only one safe blow in the lost eight innings as he celebrated the fourth anniversary of his shutout against the New Tork Yankees here Oct 5, 1926. Four years ago the day and hour, time and place, Haines not only blanked the Yankees but contributed a home run to the victory that put the Cardinals in the lead and enabled them later to overcome the New Yorkers In the last world's series triumph scored by the forces of the National League.

Today, the big Phllllpsburg, Ohio, right-hander, classed among base-ball's pitching ancients, not only baffled the heavy hitters the world's champions, but lashed his rival. Grove, for a hit that tied the score and spurred his teammates to continue their attack de cisively on the fire-ball southpaw In the fourth Inning. A wild throw by Jimmy Dykes, the usually reliable third sacker of the Athletics, enabled the Cardinals to score what provtd to be the winning run in the fourth inning, the last In which the Red Birds were able to do a thing with the speed and curves of the great Grove. Two were out and Chick Hafey, the bespectacled Card left fielder, was on second as the result of a ground -rule double Into the right field bleacher screen, when Dykes took a smash from Ray Blades' bat, passed up Chance to tag out Hafey on the ease line, near third and then threw wildly to Jimmy Foxx for sn attempted third put out at first. Dykes, for some unaccountable reason, stepped around Hafey In order to take the chance on a throw-out, but the toss was so wide that it got away from Foxx.

Hafey was across the plate by the time Foxx got the ball to Cochrane. Two sjbsequent scratch hits, a Texas Leaguer to right by Wilson and a single off Grove's glove by Gelbert, accounted for the third Cardinal run, but It proved just that much margin of safety. The damage to the cause of the A's had been done and not even the hitless pitching of Grove for the last four innings could do anything about It (Continued to Pag 4, Col, 8) counting for all the legitimate uses to which these commodities are put and assuming that the balance could be converted into alcoholic beverages."

6. (Monday) (AP) The disaster that overtook the giant British dirigible R-101 on her test flight to India and sent her hurtling to the earth in darkness Sunday morning has left her a twisted steel carcass sym bolizing the tragic deaths of 46 of Britain's finest air experts and air men. One of her crew virtually returned to life this morning, so far as the outside world Is concerned, with announcement by the Beauvais police that Rigger W. G. Radcliffe, reported dead at the Hotel Dieu (hospital), was still alive and probably could be saved.

Of the forlorn little band of survivors. Rigger Y. Church is the most seriously Injured. Most of his comrades, hands or faces swathed In bandages, wandered sleepless and unnerved about the town throughout the day, while in a nearby schoolhouse 46 simple coffins of rough pine boards contained the charred and mutilated bodies of their comrades and officers. Identities Doubtful A final official attempt to Identify the skeletons and parts of bodies found In and around the flame- devoured hulk of the R-101 will be made today.

Relatives of the dead airmen and air authorities began to arrive in Beauvais during the night. The assistance of these is thi last resort of the authorities in the en deavor to make the identifications. Unmindful of the fate that overtook the dirigible in the air, several of the dead men's relatives and friends arrived by airplane from England. MOTOR TROUBLE DESCRIBED SAINT JUST. DES MARAIS, near Beauvais, France, Oct S.

Belief the. British dirigible R-101 had motor trouble before she crashed to the earth was expressed to the Associated Press correspondent today by Emile Barroux, a member of the Saint Just City council, who was an eye witness to the tragedy. Barroux, who owns a large farm here, said: The British airship passed over my farm at exactly five minutes past two o'clock Sunday morning. The roar of its motors had awakened me. Looking out of the window I got a distinct impression that the motors of the airship were functioning very badly and that the ship was In difficulty.

I therefore was not totally astonished when later I heard a terrific explosion. Sees Flames I saw flames leap to heaven be fore I heard the explosion. Of course, the time necessitated for transmission of sound may explain this and perhaps the flames broke forth simultaneously with the ex plosion. However, I believe, and others who saw the spectacle got the Impression, that the airship was (Continued to Page 2, Col. 5) SUPERVISORS AND COUNCIL TO MEET Pima county supervisors and the Tucson city council will conduct October meetings today.

On the 13th of last March, the first spadeful of earth was turned for this building. On September 1st, the house was occupied and in use.

"The specifications drawn call for a foundation strong and enduring, but years before concrete was poured, the real foundation was laid.
