Roolde Hurt as Tigers Split Bill Collides with Brownie Out for 3 Weeks Special to the Free Press ST. LOUIS Johnny Groth, Detroit's brilliant rookie outfielder, suffered a broken right wrist that will sideline him for at least three weeks.

The injury came after a collision in the first game of a twi-night double-header, which saw Detroit lose the opener to St. Louis, 4 to 3, and take the nightcap. 4 to 2, in a six-inning affair halted by rain. The split, combined with the Athletics' loss to the Yankees, lifted Detroit to fourth place. GROTH WAS hurt in the eighth inning when he collided with Johnny Sullivan at first base.

Groth had bunted and Sullivan, late in covering the base, arrived at the bag at the same time as Groth. Sullivan, bowled over, remained in the game after receiving first aid. Earlier in the contest, Gerald Priddy had been taken to the hospital when a foul off his bat struck him on the left instep. The Tiger loss in the first game was a manager's nightmare. Detroit outhit St.

Louis, 15 to 6. But four double plays and some weird base-running in the ninth inning nullified the batting edge. DICK KOKOS knocked in all the Brownie runs with a double in the first and his three-run homer in the eighth.

X. ft S. I iteJ The Sun quoted the Air Force official as saying that he be lieved greatly improved models of the two planes found in an abandoned barn are flying now and are the source of the flying saucer reports of two years ago. STATE POLICE found the old machines, now mostly junk, in the barn near Glen Burnie, about 11 miles south of Baltimore. Their inventor, Johnathan E.

Caldwell, dropped out of sight about 1941. The official declined the use of his name, the Sun said, but declared Air Force authorities had given him permission to make a statement concerning the Glen Burnie discovery. THE OFFICER explained that the Air Force uses the term "prototype" to denote the first model from which an airplane develops. The Sun then went on to quote him as saying: 'I, personally, think the Inventor went to some other part of the country and that he or someone else developed new planes along these lines and is sending them up." An aircraft mechanic who worked with Caldwell on the strange craft back in 1936 and 1937 declared Caldwell was 10 years ahead of his time in developing the planes. One of the planes had a small fuselage something like a conventional plane, with a rotating disc and propeller blades above it.

THE OTHER looked like a big, round cheesebox. It had propellers above and below and seated four. Caldwell made a splurge with them back in 1939 and 1940. The one with the disc made a demonstration hop in Washington, but crash landed. SMITH CHILDREN SLEEP IN THEIR AUTO-HOME Family of four has lived in car for two weeks r.

Chrysler Strike Is Settled 20,000 Due to Start Back to Work Monday The four-day Chrysler Corp. strike, which had idled nearly 20,000 has been settled. All employes, except 1,200 at DeSoto, have been requested to report for work on their regular shifts Monday. Idled DeSoto workers will return Tuesday, the company said.

It was one of the most damaging wildcat strikes of recent months. The trouble centered at the company's Kercheval and Jefferson plants. It stemmed from the discharge last Saturday of a probationary employe at the Kercheval plant. SUBSEQUENTLY a Kercheval steward was also fired, allegedly for ordering the initial walkout, an act which the company charged was a contract violation. The probationary employe had been firejd, the company said, because he refused to obey orders of a supervisor.

Briggs had posted notices announcing the mass layoff. They were torn down and the men told to disregard them. Briggs is a major supplier to Chrysler.
