Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Just 12 months ago, almost to the day, the New York Yankees were pleased to have themselves visited by a hitting famine that began a week before the end of the regular league season and ended on the final day of the world's series. They couldn't hit a medicine ball with a fly swatter, and in consequence, the Giant pitchers were made to appear better than they really were. History and election balloters have been known to repeat. Likewise the Yankees. Today they are in another hitting slump and even George H. Ruth, the well-known left fielder, has become a party to the depression. In fact George has hit so infrequently of late that he has just about made himself a victim of self-elimination in the race with Harry Hellmann, for individual batting hours. "I don't like the way the boys are swinging," declared Miller Huggins today. "The game of the last two days were all too reminiscent of last year, when the team fell into a batting slump before the end of the campaign and carried it right through the world's series." It's no star chamber secret that the ball club, in toto, adapts itself with marked readiness to any and all moods that may seize upon our Mr. Ruth. When he hits, they hit, when he doesn't they don't. Seemingly it would be the height of presumption to sock one on the bias when the noble fellow himself is unable to do likewise.

SPECTACULAR GOLF IN AMATEUR MATCH DEL MONTE, Calif., Sept. 27.—Pitted against each other this morning in the second round of match play for the California amateur golf championship, two stars of the Pacific northwest, Rudie Wilhelm and Clare Griswold, Oregon champion, provided a large gallery at Pebble Beach course with one of the most thrilling encounters of the tournament. At the end of the first 18 holes the match stood all even. Spectacular golf by Wilhelm on the first nine holes marked the morning play. He went out in 4 under par and turned home three on Griswold. Coming in Griswold played flawless golf, cutting Wilhelm's lead with a string of pars and birdies. 3 DIE IN ATTEMPT AT JAIL DELIVERY DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 27.—Three men, one already condemned to die, are dead as the result of an attempted jail delivery here last midnight. The dead: C. E. Gaines, occupant of the "death house," to have hanged for murder. Willie Champion, assistant jailer. Peter Welk, facing forty year sentence for complicity in a murder. The jail delivery had been carefully planned and the prisoners were given outside aid. When Jailer Champion opened a tier of cells to make an inspection, he was confronted by Gaines and Welk, both armed with six-shooters. Champion tried to disarm them. Both prisoners opened fire and Champion fell with bullets thru the body. He died shortly afterward in a hospital. Other officers, attracted by the shooting, rushed to the jail corridor. A gun battle ensued. Gaines was instantly killed. Welk shot several times, was taken to a hospital, where he died today. Prior to the shooting, officials learned, a large automobile circled the jail a number of times. The machine, it was believed, was to be used by prisons in making their get-away in case the jail delivery was a success. Where the prisoners obtained their weapons was a mystery. An investigation was under way today. Gaines' home was in Indianaapolis, where his mother lives. Authorities are trying to locate her. Welk had been sentenced for complicity in a shooting affair near Garland, Texas, several months ago. A guilty sheriff was killed in a battle with prosecution officers during the siege. PRONOUNCED DEAD, RETURNS TO LIFE DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 27.—After having been pronounced dead by physicians Peter Welk, a prisoner, shot last year, when the team fell into a batting slump before the end of the campaign and carried it right through the world's series." It's no star chamber secret that the ball club, in toto, adapts itself with marked readiness to any and all moods that may seize upon our Mr. Ruth. When he hits, they hit, when he doesn't they don't. Seemingly it would be the height of presupposition to sock one on the bias when the noble fellow himself is unable to do likewise. Ruth has been in a hitting slump for nor than a month. In late August he was batting in the neighborhood of .405; today his average is .355, and to sink spells. It was much the same last year, only more so. On that occasion Ruth went into the world's series with a band wagon and emerged to the plaintive notes of a piccolo solo. His average was something like .128 and this in spite of the fact that McGraw had a staff of pitchers that operated on the theory of three-or-no-count. Seldom was the original nominee able to finish what he started during the regular season; yet the world's series witnessed a sense of notable performances by Art Nehf, Jesse Barnes, John Scott and Hugh McQuillan. The answer must have gone further than ability of these men to pitch up to national league standards. It went all the way back to the difficulty of the nine Yankees to hit a medicine ball with a fly swatter. BELMONT SAYS HE WON'T BUY PAPYRUS By DAVIS J. WALSH (I.N.S. Sports Editor) NE WYORK, Sept. 26.—August Belmont, chairma not the Jockey club and one of the biggest figures in American thorobred racing, today took occasion to issue denial of a report that he intended to purchase Papyrus, English derby winner, now on his way to this country to race America's best three-year-old. Mr. Belmont seemed much exercised by the matter, but whether his distress was occasioned by what he termed a "misleading report" or the price set upon the head of Papyrus was not divulged. Ben Irish, owner of the Eiglish colt, is asking a mere matter of 55,000 pounds ($265,000) for the horse. This, if true, disposes of all possible purchasers automatically. It is the highest price, by many thousands, ever asked for a thorobred race horse, and makes Mr. eBlimont's denial at once convincing and unnecessary. "There is not a word of truth in taft report", declared the noted sportsman, under whose auspices the northwest, Rudie Wilhelm and Clare Griswold, Oregon champion, provided a large gallery at Pebble Beach course with one of the most thrilling encounters of the tournament. At the end of the first 18 holes the match stood all even. Spectacular golf by Wilhelm on the first nine holes marked the morning play. He went out in 4 under par and turned home three on Griswold. Coming in Griswold played flawless golf, cutting Wilhelm's lead with a string of pars and birdies. C. H. Foley, conqueror of Willie Hunter, come out of his golf diritum this morning and did nothing phenominal in his match with W. C. Ryan. At the end of the morning round Foley was 2 up. The morning round between Jack Neville and Harlow Hurley, former Kansas champion, was a nip and tuck battle and ended all square on the 18th green. Johnny McHugh had the same sort of ding dong contest with G. H. Mullin. They also were all square at the end of the first 18. Another easy match was that between W. W. Campbell of Los Angeles and F. D. Tatum. Campbell was 7 up at the end of the first 18. SARAZEN DEFEATS LONG JIM BARNES PELHAM COUNTRY CLUB, N.Y., Sept. 27.—Gene Sarazen, last year's champion; Walter Hagen, former holder of practically every worth while golf title; Robert Cruikshank, who carried Bobby Jones into extra play in the national open, and George McLean, of GrassaySprain, this afternoon entered the semi-final round of play for the professional golf title after one of the most sparkling afternoon of play in the entire tournament. Sarazen beat Long Jim Barnes one up. McLean beat Joe Kirkwood 5 and 4. Walter Hagen beat Red McLood 5 and 4. Cruickshank beat William McFarlane on the 39th hole. Barnes, playing on his home course and backed by loyal Pelhamites, made a gallant effort to remain in the tournament but lost on the 36th green. Sarazen had left Barnes by four holes when but seven remained to be played but he put on a grand finish and at the 35th hole had squared the match. SOPH GIRLS TRIM FRESH BY 8 TO 5 Sophomore girls basketball team at Anaheim H. S. proved too strong for the freshmen last evening winning 8 to 5. The game was played in three ten-minute periods and was referred by Mrs. Archie Swan. Madaline Tousseau, Soph forward. termed a "misleading report" or the price set upon the head of Papyrus was not divulged. Ben Irish, owner of the Eiglish colt, is asking a mere matter of 55,-000 pounds ($265,000) for the horse. This, if true, disposes of all possible purchasers automatically. It is the highest price, by many thousands, ever asked for a thorobred race horse, and makes Mr. eBlmont's denial at once convincing and unnecessary. "There is not a word of truth in taht report", declared the noted sportsman, under whose auspices the international race will be run October 20. "It is entirely fabrication. It has been noised about for quite some time, but so far as I know, there is no foundation for it." Apparently disatisfied with the effect of His own detial, Mr. Beimont then called upon C. J. Fitzgerald, his representative, who went to England to arrange the details of the race, to substantiate and if possible, amplify the statement. Mr. Fitzgerald did. "You can quote me as saying that no offer has eben made by any American for Papyrus," he declared. "I don't think there will be any offer made. Papyrus is to go back to England right after the race. The price that Ben Irish is asking for the horse is the largest in the history of racing. It is 55,000 pounds." The dual statements effectually dispose of all hope that Papyrus will be kept here as an American institution, win or lose the big race. This was supposed to be a part of the agreement whereby the race was arranged. It explained Ben Irish's cagerness to go thru with a proposition that placed all the natural advantages on the American side, but the explanation was founded on a false premise. The inference is now clear that Mr. Irish, a thoro-going sportsman is actuated by motives of sportsmanship and none other. PIRATES SIGN KNOX DES MOINES, Sept. 27.—Clifford (Bud) Knox, of Corning, Iowa, today announced he had signed a contract to play with the Pittsburg National league baseball team next year. Knox starred in football, basketball and is a candidate for the football team this year. SOPH GIRLS TRIM FRESH BY 8 TO 5 Sophomore girls basketball team at Anaheim H.

Hans Weisel, Anaheim city attorney, arrested a few days ago by Jack Pickell, local traffic officer, was arraigned before Judge Brown today on the charge of passing a car on the intersection. He entered a plea of guilty, and was fined $10, which he paid without a murmur. Indeed Judge Brown announced, he insisted that he be fined, saying that a city official has no more right to break the laws than anyone else, and that the police should pick them up the same as anybody else. GUARDSMEN WON’T RECEIVE STIPEND SACRAMENTO, Sept. 27.—Declaring that calling out of the national guard units of Oakland and Berkeley by Colonel A. J. Eddy was an unwarranted assumption of authority on his part, Adjutant General J. J. Borree issued a statement after a conference with the governor this morning in which he asserted that use of the guardsmen after the Berkeley fire was "unauthorized" and that they would consequently not be paid for their patrol duty. General Borree claimed that neither his office nor the governor’s office had been asked to call out the troops. 25 per cent discount sale, 10 days. Keen Hat Store. PROBE: MRS. STOKES’ CONSPIRACY CHARGE CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Charge of conspiracy and perjury made by Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes in connection with an alleged plot by W. E. D. Stokes, New York multimillionaire, to defame her character, were being thoroly probed here today by the grand jury. Mrs. Millie Phillips, a hair dresser and Richard F. Westbrooks, discharged assistant state’s attorney, were the first witnesses called. Mrs. Phillips is alleged to have made several statement identifying Mrs. Stokes as an inmate of one of Chicago’s houses of ill-fame of 14 years ago. Assistant state’s attorney Charles S. Wharton, in charge of the investigation, announced that Westbrooks was to be questioned with reference to his alleged employment as an agent of Stokes—a topic which here-tofore he has refused to discuss. Neither Mrs. Stokes nor Charles E. Erbstein, her attorney, were present when the grand jury action got under way. It is expected, however, that Mrs. Stokes will eriate her story to the jury within a few days.
