engulfed by the chanting, writhing crowd. it was like trying to hold 'back the ocean. They poured over fences, through fences and finally on top of fences, caving in the wire barriers. Finally, the buses pushed their way through the crowd, trying to knife through the sea of smiling faces. A police car led the way.

Victorious pitcher-batter Mickey Lo-lich got the biggest cheers. "They should have called out the National Guard," said Lolich. "Oh. no," said his pretty wife, Joyce, "that'd mean you'd have to go to work." No gloom now in Tiger Town "Go! go! was the chant that welled up every time a Tiger player waved to the fans. The players and their wives slowly pushed their way to the three buses waiting to take them home.

Travelling secretary Charley Creedon, a meticulous man when shepherding his ball club around the country, looked helpless as the players scrambled into the buses. Police tried to hold back the fans, but (See story column one) DETROIT About 3,000 cheering Tiger fans poured over fences, caving in wire barriers, at Detroit's Metro Airport Thursday night, when the Tigers returned home from defeating the St. Louis Cadrinals in the second game of the World Series. The cheering mob, carrying banners and pennants, stormed the airplane. It took the team by surprise.

Gromyko's address to the 125-member General Assembly made the standard Soviet statements on the world's trouble spots. And it contained what some Western delegates regarded as a lame defence of the Soviet-bloc occupation of Czechoslovakia. Tigers slip 'em a real Mickey By JACK DULMAGE Windsor Star Sports Editor ST. LOUIS Dennis McLain, the organ player, wanted to humiliate the Cardinals. He didn't.

Mickey Lolich did. It was Lolich weather Thursday 60 degrees. Lolich likes to work in cool weather because he's a heavy sweater and the sweat interferes with his grip on the ball. The fellow who sweated through the crashing 8-1 defeat of the Cards in game two of the 65th World Series was Nelson Briles, a 25-year-old 19-game winner. 3 Jl 48 Pages "On some days," said Briles, who took the loss hard, "you want to eat dirt." Briles followed Bob Gibson who won the opener, 4-0 and it was too tough an act to follow.

The Tigers were sore themselves for enabling, Gibson to set a Series record 17 strikeouts. They took it out of Briles who won the third game of the 1967 World Series against the Boston Red Sox. "We decided to get mad and play our kind of ball," said Detroit catcher Bill Freehan. "By that I don't just mean with the bat. We gave away a few things yesterday." The Tigers gave little away Thursday.

They were awake and aggressive in the field. At the bat, they showed the power and ruthlessness which crushed the American League. They steamrollered over the close-game tactics of the low-scoring Cardinals. Gibson seemed a long way off, although in fact he is to confront McLain in game four Sunday at Detroit. Briles is the No.

PM seeks end to strikes BLACKPOOL, England (AP) Prime Minister Wilson called today for an end of "ill-considered" strikes said were threatening Britain's economic recovery. The prime minister's appeal was aimed at the country's metal workers, who have threatened to bring British economic life "to a virtual standstill" with a nationwide strike set for Oct. 21. Wilson was making his final address to the Labor party's annual convention. He chose to deliver it -during debate on a resolution presented by the metal workers' union.

The Labor party's political success, Wilson said, "depends upon economic success on sustaining the rapid increase in production and All this "can be imperilled by ill-considered industrial action, whose effect can only be to put the employment of so many of our people at risk." "Day by day we read of hard-won export orders frustrated by sectional and self-regarding action which no one here would defend," he said.

C. Thornton Cran, president of Standard Radio Ltd. which owns CFRB in Toronto and CJAD in Montreal said last night the CRTC decision that Channel 6 be allocated to Kingston and London "for all time, will deprive the people of Toronto of a third VHF station that can reach all homes." The CFRB application was to take over Channel 13 as a Toronto channel, with the Kit chener-Waterloo station, which now uses 13, moving to Channel 6 when CBLT moved to 5. CKCO in Kitchener-Waterloo, and WORK in Rochester, which also uses 13, had agreed. Mr.

Cran said earlier this year that Standard would need $10,000,000. 4 others die in copter loss No one shgould have been surprised, Gromyko said, by the Soviet reaction in Czechoslovakia to what he called a threat to the socialist world, brought on by "imperialist intrigues." The Soviet-bloc occupation of Czechoslovakia, to reverse broad trendi toward liberalization, has been branded by UN speakers as a blow to East-West detente and a danger to world peace. Gromyko firmly upheld the Soviet contention that the Czechoslovakian situation concerned the "socialist commonwealth" alone. "To damage the position of socialism in the world is tantamount to increasing the danger of a new world war," he said. "The Soviet Union and other socialist countries have on many occasions warned those who are tempted to try and roll back the socialist commonwealth, to snatch at least one link from it, that we will neither tolerate nor allow this to happen." U.S.

State Secretary Dean Rusk, who the day before had challenged the Soviet Union to answer a series of questions, including when it would fulfil its promise to remove -its troops from Czechoslovakia, told reporters that Gromyko "didn't answer the questions I asked." A Western European diplomat, agreeing that Gromyko had not replied to Rusk's questions, added: "That shows you how embarrassed they are. They haven't got the argument." Near the end of Gromyko's hour-long speech, six women and three men leaped to their feet in the public gallery and shouted in unison: "What are you doing for Biafra?" UN guards quickly ushered them out, just as they had removed nine other persons who interrupted Rusk on Wednesday with shouts See SOVIET Page 6 ported 20 deaths. Gen. Mar-celino Garcia Barragan, secretary cf defence, said one of the dead was a soldier. He said the high rate of casualties among civilians was the result of their "confusion."

Ronald Fraser, CBC vice-president for corporate affairs, said that as far as he knew, the CBC switch to Channel 5 would not interfere with Toronto reception of Channel 4, the Buffalo CBS outlet, "but I can't say flatly that it's not a possibility." He said the CBC applied to the Board of Broadcast Governors, forerunner of the CRTC, at least two years ago in the air 16 miles southeast of Saigon. The resulting explosion knocked down a third helicopter.

MEXICO CITY (CP) Students burned trolley cars near an Olympic soccer field and armored cars kept their guns trained on apartment buildings where snipers had holed up, but most of the Mexican capital was quiet Thursday night.
