BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS TEN GO WHERE ARE SERIES STARS OF 1922? By SID MERCER (I. N. S. Special Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—World's series fame is indeed fleeting. Some of the heroes of yesteryear maintain privileges; others do not figure prominently in the advance notice in the third encounter between the Giants and the Yankees. One year ago Joe Bush and Bob Shawkey, rated first and third, respectively, among American League pitchers in games won and lost, carried the burden of halting the opening attacks of the Giants. They were the Yankee aces in a hard fight for the American League pennant. Bush pitched the first and fifth games of the world's series losing the opener, 3 to 2 and the final 5 to 2. Shawkey appeared in only one game—the second—which ended in a tie. Neither of these box men figure to start the series for the Yankees this week. Bush possibly may draw the assignment if the day is cloudy, but Shawkey seems to be cast for the role of a reservoir. Neither Shawkey nor Bush has displayed his 1522 steadiness this season and for that reason, the burden of pitching the Yankees to victory seems to rest upon Jones, Hoyt and Pennock. Manager Huggins now ranks Sam Jones as his most dependable right hander. He finished the regular season in form that almost assures him the responsibility of facing the Giants next Wednesday at the Yankee stadium. The tragic figure is Carl Mays, a great pitcher, and a league leader. Offer Fair Weather for Series Opener WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Fair weather and moderate temperature were promised today by the U. S. weather bureau for the opening day of the world's series in New York on Wednesday. "Those who have seats in the sun," Forecaster Mitchell said, "probably can go without wraps; and those in the shade may need them. The temperature will average around 60 degrees, and the chances of rain are very remote." LOS ANGELES CUBS TAKE BACK SEAT Richfield Yorba baseball squad defeated the fast Los Angeles Cubs, 6 to 2 yesterday afternoon after eight speedy innings. The last inning was called off on account of rain. Manager Ortiz has assembled a first-grade club, and they showed their wares against the Cubs. Campbell, a southwestern league pitcher, has fallen into the ranks of the Richfield team, and will be one of the boys from now on. He fanned out nine men in four innings, allowing not a hit during his time on the mound. Schrott, a newcomer to the Richfield crew, but not new to baseball fans, played right field yesterday. He is a good catch, and Manager Ortiz has signed him up. Bleecker fanned out five men in four innings. Vetter at first base played his usual good game and received many cheers when he knocked three and two-base hits. Travis did good batting yesterday. Dickson caught and displayed his Neither Shawkey nor Bush has displayed his 1922 steadiness this season and for that reason, the burden of pitching the Yankees to victory seems to rest upon Jones, Hoyt and Pennock. Manager Huggins now ranks Sam Jones as his most dependable right hander. He finished the regular season in form that almost assured him the responsibility of facing the Giants next Wednesday at the Yankee stadium. The tragic figure is Carl Mays, a great pitcher, and a league leader in 1921. This year he has been a bench warmer. He does not enter into world’s series calculations at all; certainly not as a game starter. New Yorkers are strangely apathetic toward the series this year. It’s the same old performance; the same hitters and same pitchers” they complain.” O’DAY AND HART FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE NEW YORK, Oct. 8. — “Hank” O’Day and Bob Hart were named today by President John A. Heydler as the National League’s umpires to officiate in the world’s series games, beginning on Wednesday. They will be teamed up with Billy Evans and Dick Neillin, who have been named as the American League representatives by President Ban Johnson. Heydler also announced that he had appointed Bill Klem and Ernie Quigley to officiate in the Chicago city series. DISCUSS BENEFIT GAME FOR R. BUSH Following a brief visit to Anaheim by Ray Bush, former popular third baseman on Anaheim’s champion Elks’ baseball team, fans today were discussing a plan to stage a benefit game. Because of ill-health, Bush will be compelled to remain at Banning for some time. Fans stated Bush would appreciate such a benefit, and because he is an all-around good fellow and a mighty fine ball player, is deserving of anything that could be done in this way. QUARTER OF MILLION WAGERED ON SERIES NEW YORK, Oct. 8. — A quarter of a million dollars will be in the hands of betting commissioners when the world’s series opens on Wednesday, it was estimated today. Betting commissioners in Wall Street said that already more than $100,000 has been wagered on the Yankees and Giants. Most of it has gone down with the Yankees favorites at 7 to 5, 11 to 10, and at even money. RUTH AND CY TIE NEW YORK, Oct. 8. — “Well, I wasn’t beaten, anyway,” said Babe Ruth. American league home-run champion, commenting today on his tie with Cy Williams of the National league home-run champion. Babe smacked his 41st home run in the last game of the season. Williams got his 41st some days ago. REICCHSRAT ADOPTS AUTHORIZATION LAW BERLIN, Oct. 8. — The reichrat today adopted the “authorization law,” conferring extra powers on the government, by a vote of 46 to 17. Davaria, Mecklenburg and some prussian provinces opposed the measure. Thuringia abstained from voting. The miner’s Central Union adopted a resolution, sharply opposing extension of working hours and the Berlin plan to pay according to prediction. Word was received from the Ruhr that some mines were resuming, but that the situation is taking on a critical turn, owing to the fact that the German government will cease sending money into the Ruhr this week. These payments have been for distribution among the German workers whether they worked or not and was the backbone of the government’s policy of passive resistance. Debate upon Chancellor Strummann’s recent declaration of policy opened in the reichstrain under conditions of deep restraint. Socialists and communists were openly hostile, declaring that the chancellor could not command a vote of confidence.

The appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. WOMAN MURDERS PRIEST IN CHURCH CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—Mrs. Emily Strutinsky, wife of the pastor of the Church of St. John in Raney, Pa., a suburb of Harrisburg, was held without bail in jail today, charged with the murder of Rev. Basil Stetzuk, whom she shot to death in the confessional of the Ukrainian Church of St. Michael the Archangel. The little church was crowded when the woman, who said she came here for the purpose, fired five shots into the priest's body as she visited the confessional as a penitent. Rev. Strutinsky formerly was pastor of the Ukrainian Church of St. Nicholas here and had raised a fund of more than $100,000 with which to build the parish a new church. Mrs. Strutinsky declared to police she slew Rev. Stetzuk because he was warning members of the St. Nicholas parish not to attend the church her husband had helped to build. She charged that Rev. Stetzuk was wasting the money of St. Nicholas and was cheating its parishoners. "That is why I killed him," she said. "He was cheating my people and betraying my faith." The slayer, according to police, showed no concern for her victim and expressed indifference to her own BOARD OF INQUIRY EXTENDS HEARINGS SAN DIEGO, Oct. 8.—The naval court of inquiry will extend its hearings several days longer than was expected, in order to call to the stand some 20-odd new witnesses. It appeared doubtful today whether the investigating body will finish its work this week, and it was predicted by some observers that the sessions will continue well into next week. The court had intended to forbear calling the officers, radio operators, lookouts and others from four of the vessels which were trailing far astern of the seven which were destroyed, but at the insistence of counsel for the 13 defendant officers this morning it was announced that they will be permitted to testify. Admiral Pratt, chairman, sharply quizzed Ensign Pace, officer on deck of Chaucey, which was lost. With visibility of about 1,000 yards, and a violent sea with waves breaking fifty feet high over the rocks, why was it that you could not tell from the condition of the water that you were close ashore? The court asked. The witness confined his replies largely to the phrase, "I do not know." Judge Advocate Leslie Bratton, "prosecutor" for the government, will himself take the stand this afternoon, it was learned. He was in command of the destroyer Stoddert, which escaped the fate of her sister ships. FIVE MINERS KILLED DENVER, Oct. 8.—Supt. R. P. Scott of the Mid-West Coal Co., and five miners were killed in a gas explosion Sunday, two miles east of Palisades, Colo., according to a report reaching here this morning. George McKeen of Ohio, was the first body recovered and was badly mutilated. RUHR WORKERS TO EXPLODE SHORTLY ESSEN, Germany, Oct. 8.—"A volcanic explosion of pent-up passion by the Ruhr workers seems inevitable," an important Kupp director told International News Service today. He is one of the few directing heads still in Essen and requested that his name not be revealed. "I do not believe Premier Poincare has the right and the intention of putting the wheels of Ruhr industry back in motion," said the director. If the French really wanted restoration, they had a chance of speeding industry up to normalcy immediately after the German government announced the cessation of passive resistance. "France merely wants coal from the Ruhr—the rest of the Ruhr can go to hell so far as Poincare cares." Indeed, I believe Premier Poincare and Baldwin at their recent meeting in Paris reached an agreement upon the basis that France should get her coal from the Ruhr and that the German industries in the Ruhr (aside from mining) would be allowed to drift to ruin. England has always been afraid of an amalgamation of French ore and German coal interests. England would be glad to kill German competition. "God knows what all this means for millions of workers. We will be compelled to dismiss thousands of workers almost immediately, as it is, because Berlin's payments to the Ruhr have ceased." "Our own firm (the Krupps) is now producing only 30 per cent of normal capacity." The director bitterly condemned the Stresemann cabinet's policy. DAVIS WILL SPEAK AT LEGION MEETING WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Secretary of Labor Davis is leaving for San Francisco to speak at a legal conference in Los Angeles on October 8th. Struttinaky declared to police she slew Rev. Stetzuk because he was warning members of the St. Nicholas parish not to attend the church her husband had helped to build. She charged that Rev. Stetzuk was wasting the money of St. Nicholas and was cheating its parishoners. "That is why I killed him," she said. "He was cheating my people and betraying my faith." The slayer, according to police, showed no concern for her victim and expressed indifference to her own fate. She is the mother of two children, one of whom is married. The other, a son, is 21 years old. DEATH VERDICT TOO MUCH "MOONSHINE" SEATTLE, Oct. 8. — Too much moonshine was the only reason police could give today for the shooting of Harry Lacelle, prominent advertising man recently of San Francisco, who was fatally wounded early Sunday by Winifred Gibbons, 19-year-old divorcee, at a road house near here. Lacelle, who was at the resort with his bride of two months, had never seen the Gibbons woman before in his life, according to a statement he made before he died. Friends agreed that there was nothing about the tragedy to reveal the slightest motive. The shooting occurred about 2:30 Sunday morning. Lacelle and a number of other men were standing on the front porch of the roadhouse when the Gibbons woman appeared. She asked them to help her get her automobile out of the ditch. As Lacelle started down the stairs the woman drew a gun and without a word of warning fired a shot into his abdomen. She insisted that the shooting was purely accidental, that she only wanted to "scare them a little." FULLERTON POSTAL RECEIPTS INCREASE Fullerton postoffice receipts for the quarter ending Sept. 30 amounted to $7,533.40, an increase of 20 per cent over the same period last year, according to Merton Blackford, postmaster. The receipts for the same period last year amounted to $6,310.57. Try the La Palina Cafeteria. FIVE MINERS KILLED DENVER, Oct. 8. — Supt. R. P. Scott of the Mid-West Coal Co., and five miners were killed in a gas explosion Sunday, two miles east of Palisades, Colo., according to a report reaching here this morning. George McKee of Ohio, was the first body recovered and was badly mutilated. Sunday was his first day of work at the mine and had only been on duty a few hours when the blast came. A string of cars, released by the explosion, shot into the mine with terrific force, piling into a splintered mass when it struck the debris of the wrecked mine level. The air fan was torn from its position, making entrance to the mine an extremely dangerous one. Besides Scott and McKee, those killed were J. B. Keyes and his three sons, Harvey, H. B. Keyes and W. B. Keyes. Normally, the mine employees about 250 men.

HENRY FORD BUYS SWEDISH GUAGE CO. DETROIT, Oct. 8. — Henry Ford announced today that the Ford interests and purchased the Johannson Gauge Co., with home offices in Sweden, and an American plant in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. This is one of the most important purchases that Henry Ford has made in recent years. The Johannson Co. manufactures precision instruments that measure down to one-millionth of an inch, and its gauges are accepted as being the finest made. This is an important step for the Ford Co. in that it means that refinements, not now existing in the Ford car, will quickly come to pass. "Friction is error," says Henry Ford. "The elimination of friction means longer life for the car—for any automobile—and easier riding for the passengers. Parts will be made to fit perfectly, and because of the absence of friction there will be a positive minimum of wear and tear." Mr. Ford exhibited a part that had been on an experimental test for $800 continuous hours; so far as the eye could discern, it was in as perfect condition as when it started. "See that?" he asked, indicating the mechanism. "It fits and is as good as when it started on the long grind. Eight hundred hours on a continuous test is a long, long time. It is a hard test. The reason this part came through is because there was no friction in the beginning." The Ford interests are closing in on all bases of supplies, and, according to Mr. Ford, it will be a question but a short time when everything that goes into the building of the Ford car will be owned or controlled by the Ford Motor Company. "We are very close to that point right now," said Mr. Ford. "By controlling every process of manufacture that goes into the ultimate product we will be able to make a machine at a lower price. False profits will be eliminated all along the line and when they cease to exist the buying public will have full value for its little change in weather records." WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. — The U. S. Weather Bureau dug up some old records today and made them public for the purpose of proving that "we are not having lighter snowfalls than when grandfather was a boy." "As a matter of fact," the weather bureau said, "the deep snow remembered by the man who was a boy in the seventies or eighties probably reached the boy's shoulders, but would be less than knee-high with his present stature. Again many men who now live in cities were brut up in the country where large drifts are piled up when the wind has full sweep over the prairies." Records dated from 1884 were produced to show that the greatest snowfall on record—43 inches—occurred at Springfeld, Ill., in the winter of 1913-14, while January, 1918, was the most severe month in the climatological history of Illinois, both for low temperature and heavy snowfall, combined with heavy winds. At Albany, N. Y., the snowiest winter occurred more than 30 years ago, but there have been only six winters with more snow than fell in 1922-23. Records at New Haven, Conn., apparently indicate a gradual falling off in snow fall, yet the heaviest record occurred in the winter of 1915-16. Last winter the total was 79 inches above normal. Those who believe the climate is changing, the weather bureau stated, will take comfort in learning that the greatest seasonal snowfall on record at Boston—96.4 inches—was in 1873-74, but the winter with the least snow—5.2 inches—was only two years later. "The greatest snowfall at Salt Lake City, Utah, occurred in 1916-17, and the second, third and fourth, since then. "It is possible that present records will be exceeded in many places."
