RUTH CENTER OF SERIES BETTING Probably Less Money Wagered On Outcome Than On Any Previous World's Series Conflict NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—When the Giants anw Yankees clash in the first game of the world's series at the Polo Grounds tomorrow afternoon there will probably be less money wagered on the outcome than on any world’s series in the history of the game. In the past, tempting odds have resulted in many bets both large and small, but that in some quarters the Giants are 6 to 5 favorites and that in other places where sporting men gather the Yankees are favored by the same odds has caused the general betting to go to even money with little betting placed. However, freak bets seem to be the rule and considerable money will change hands during the series. Babe Ruth, champion home hitter of all time, is the man figurating largely in freak bets. The big slugger is a hardened world series. BIG BUILDING ON CYPRESS STREET Puritan Dry Cleaners Buys City Lot and Will Erect Building A new business block for Cypress-st was announced today, following the passage of a resolution by city council at an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon authorizing the sale of a lot, 40x170, from the present auto camp ground, between Los Angeles and Lemon-sts, to W. L. Waitman. The latter stated today he would erect a modern plant for his Puritan Dry Cleaners. M. Eugene Durfee, architect, assisted Waltman in his negotiations with the city council. Durfee will design the building which will be of the most up-to-date type for the cleaning business. The building will be one story, 40x80, with modern front. Waitman pays the city $2200 for the lot. There are three more such lots which the city is attempting to sell, the proceeds to go towards improvement of the new city park.

However, freak bets seem to be the rule and considerable money will change hands during the series. Babe Ruth, champion home run hitter of all time, is the man figurating largely in freak bets. The big slugger is a hardened world series veteran, having been through the fire with the Boston Red Sox, and there is little chance that the responsibility of the big series will effect his playing. Frank Baker, Hank Gowdy and others have broken up world's series games with reckless abandon in the past, and Ruth's boosters are predicting and betting that he will make all former world series heroes lookk like minor leaguers. One sportsman bet $200 to $1000 that the Yankees would win four straight games and a Giant fellow had $200 against $500 that Arthur Nehf would win the first game he pitched for the National leaguers. A number of bets have been made that George Kelly would outshade Babe Ruth, while one enthusiastic follower of the big Yankee slugger bet $500 at even money that Ruth would hit five home runs in the series. It was considered the freaktest of all the freak bets recorded. The rush for world's series tickets is the greatest over experienced in New York. That the weather would be favorable to the opening of the series was the promise handed out by the official weather forecaster at Washington. The players were scheduled to have their final workouts at the Polo grounds today, the park being turned over to the Yankees in the morning, while the Giants held forth this afternoon. Down at the Commodore hotel Judge K. M. Landis held informal court today as the various minor and major league club owners paid their respects to him and called for their tickets to the big game. Accommodations have been arranged for 500 newspaper men and telegraph operators in the enlarged press box. BAKE-RITE BAKERS OPEN WITH BANG The opening of Anaheim's newest business institution, a local branch of the famous Bake-Rite Bakers, has proven most auspicious. "The public has shown its generous appreciation of our efforts to install here the most up-to-date type of store for sale of baked goods of all kinds," says H. P. Noll.

High school trustees took Gribling yesterday. Reasons given for the change were "Incompetency and failure to push the job." The $175,000 bond issue under which the buildings are being constructed was voted March 6, 1920, about 19 months ago. The architects, Jeffery & Schaffer, of Los Angeles, were selected March 18, 1920. The contract was awarded Gribling June 24, 1920 and fided the next day. The contract was awarded Gribling on a bid of $147,961.

SUPERVISORS ACT ADDS FUEL TO FIRE LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4. — Authorization of reimbursement by the county for expenses incurred by Dist. Attr. Thomas Lee Woolwine on one of his recent investigation trips east was held up today by the board of supervisors, an action that added a new angle to the bitter controversy between the county grand jury and Woolwine, whom the jury has charged with waste, extravagance and inefficiency in office. Woolwine's claim against the county for his expenses was presented to the board yesterday and included an item of a drawing room on the train from Los Angeles to Kansas City costing $70. After considerable discussion the board failed to authorize payment of the claim on the ground that a drawing room, instead of a berth, was a needless expenditure. Supervisor Wright was delegated by the board to visit the district attorney's office and ask Woolwine for an explanation of the drawing room item. One of the supervisors pointed out that members of the board themselves, and other county officials, used berths instead of drawing rooms or compartments when traveling at the expense of the county. STATE DRIVE HELP FOR FARM BUREAU That the Orange-co farm bureau will benefit materially by the statewide membership campaign, which was launched at Sacramento last week, was the opinion expressed today by H. E. Wahlberg, Orange-co farm advisor. The movement introduced by the state farm bureau federation will follow the lines of membership drives held in the middle west, where they have resulted in increased interest in both state and county organization. Plans for opening the Orange-co drive were discussed at a meeting in Pomona when E. Campbell, of Orange, member of the state board of directors, at which he represents the Orange-co farm bureau, attended a conference in company with W. H. Walker, president of the state organization, and other state officials. HAWAIIAN SINGERS FRIDAY EVENING Friday evening under auspices Sunshine State University. Since then certain alterations and additions have been made making the total sum due Gribling, had he completed the job considerably more than the original bid. One of the trustees today estimated that the buildings were about two-thirds completed. He stated that Gribling's bondholders had been offered the contract but they had declined to take it over, and an effort was now being made to get together with Wilson & Bever, Anaheim contractors, to finish the job. The bondholders will be expected to make up any difference in cost of completion of the buildings as specified in the contracts between them the amount already paid Gribling and the contract price. Four buildings were contracted for, a domestic science building, gymnasium, shops building and auditorium. The shops building is being used and the domestic science building is near completion. An effort was made to use part of the gymnasium but the rain of three days ago leaked thru wetting contents of lockers, etc. Much work remains to be done on the large auditorium building which was planned to be the show building of the high school group. Settlement was affected with Gribling, on a board of arbitration's award, only about ten days ago by grammar school trustees for alleged faulty construction of grammar school buildings for which he had contract. It is believed the action of the high school trustees has obviated the expense to taxpayers of such arbitration proceedings. BUILDING ACTIVITY REACHES NEW MARK Activity in school building was assigned today as the reason a new summer record for Orange-co. in the matter of both expenditures and receipts was set in September. Figures given out by County Auditor W. C. Jerome show the month's expenditures to have been $394,654.87 and the receipts $260,810.87, sums greater than those of any previous "vacation" month in the history of the county. Months when the schools are in session show higher expenditures because of teachers' salaries and other school expenses. Vacation months see a drop in the figures. Among the latter class, September stands out because school building projects, either going on or contemplated, boosted the totals. Of the expenditures, more than $200,000 was for school building. Likewise, approximately $240,000 of the $260,000 receipts was received from the state for school purposes. Building activities under way or contemplated are reported at Yorba, La Habra, Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Paularino, Capistrano, Tustin and Fountain Valley.

Burch and Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was disclosed today in the first authorized statement of the plans for the defense of Burch at his trial, scheduled for next month. Links in the chain of circumstantial evidence against Burch have been broken by new statements from witnesses who first appeared to have given strong testimony for the prosecution. Defense Attorneys Paul Schenck and Richard Kittrellle announced in outlining their plans for the courtroom battle. Two highly important witnesses whom the prosecution overlooked will appear for Burch, the attorneys claim, and give testimony to crumble the whole case against him and successfully disprove the claim that he confessed the slaying, Schenck and Kittrellle said. These two witnesses are Henry Liefer and Mrs. Elizabeth Bezenty, who reside in Beverly Glen near Kennedy's cottage, where he was killed. HEWIN'S CREDITORS HOLD S. A. MEETING Whether claims of Chicago creditors of a firm to which William Hewins belonged shall be allowed a position in the bankruptcy proceedings under way there against Hewins is a question to be determined by B. E. Tarver of Santa Ana, referee in bankruptcy. Creditors of Hewina met in Tarver's office yesterday. The first step in the procedure was the hearing on claims. Attorneys representing creditors whose claims against Hewins are based upon his operations as lessees of St Ann's Inn objected to allowing any of the Chicago claims. It was pointed out that in bankruptcy proceedings in Illinois, these same claims were presented. The proceedings there were against a partnership, and personal liability of the partners becomes available after partnership assets are exhausted. Since the proceedings in the Illinois bankruptcy court were adjudicated on October 4th, 1974, all claims against Hewins have been dismissed. OBSERVE ARMISTICE DAY REVERENTLY Advices from the national headquarters of the American Legion at Indianapolis, Ind., received today, declared that the organization of ex-service men will observe Armistice day, Nov. 11, with all fitting reverence.
