the Chicago or New York diamond.
as the case may be. Owing to the
fact that the Giants are one of the
contending teams this year, more In
terest is expected to be manifested
than has been shown in the past two
or three years. Arrangements are
now being made to have announce
ments of the worlds series games
made at the various suburban places
near Perth Amboy where the EVEN
ING NEWS circulates.
As the result of the play by play
method of announcing. those in the
crowd about the NEWS office will be
able to follow the game the same as
if they were seated in a grandstand
at the White Sox field in Chicago.

followed until he is either put out or
scores run. Scores at the end of
each inning will be placed upon the
scoreboard in the window of the
NEWS Office so that the fans may
follow the score while listening to

intense as if watching the players
themselves.

The last phase of the defensive
strength Of the White Sox and Giants
to be considered Is the outfelds.

ball classic McGraw will place in the
field one Of the most brilliant trio Of

fielder he is equalled only by Graney In
either league. He covers a tremend-
Gus amount of territory and has that
uncanny faculty of being where the
ball is hit.
In center field Kauff and Felsch

liant aggressive flelders, who can
cover their territory and will back up

to Robertson.

Mr.. James w. Owens, who acted as
counsel for the several candidates or
the Progressive Democratic ticket in
the recent contest of the result of the
primary election of September IL,
has prepared a petition to be filed
with the board of Supervisors OF
Elections of the county, and in which

incompetency.
The petition is directed against r.
p. Beavin, one of the officials for the
First Precinct of the Fourth District,
and 0rrie Sherbert, of the First Pre-
cinct of the Eighth District. AS to
Mr.. Beavin, the petition charges that
he negligently failed to place his
initials on at least 90 ballots cast in
the First Precinct of the Fourth Dis
trict and which were not counted.
Concerning Sherbert, it is charged
that this official has previously been
convicted of a criminal offense un-
der the laws of the State Under
these circumstances. therefore, the
petition recites that both of these
men are wholly incompetent to serve
as officials of an election

INCREASED STANDING
FOR ANNAPOLIS POSTOFFICE
To Be The Accounting Office For All
Anne Arundel County Postoffices.

Increased standing of the Annapo-
lis Postoffice has been affected by the
Department at Washington making
this Office the central accounting Office
for Anne Arundel County.
This means that instead of all the
postoffices throughout the county
making their quarterly reports to
Washington to the Post Office Depart
ment as hitherto, will make them to
the Annapolis postofice, which, in
turn, will make its report to Wash
ington.
There are fifty-one postoffices in
Anne Arundel County, and all of
these will make reports to the post
office here except Brooklyn, Glen
Burnie and Camp Meade postoffices
which are affiliated with the Balti-
more postoffice.
Making the Annapolis postoffice
the clearing house for all Anne Arun-
del postoffices, will lessen the work
of the Post Office Department at
Washington, and necessarily increase
the work at the local office without
AhSA OdSCu lCiHuuCi ettiOn III lut way VI
salaries. II will. however, give the
local Office a boost in standard of
postoffices, which will be recognized
by the Department and throughout
the county.
The increased postage rates will
become effective here, as elsewhere,
on November 2, and until the two
cent stamps become exhausted, each
letter must bear a two-cent and a
one-cent stamp or "three-cent" post
age.
This will necessarily increase the
postal receipts at the local Office one
third, and while the gross receipts at
the Annapolis postoffice last year
were $4,000, next year they will be
100000, or fifteen thousand for the
war fund
