GIANTS GAME-BUT HOPELESS.
(BY II. @. Hamiltonl

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 9.&Two games in the
hole, facing miserable weather pros
poets, aud staring defeat for the world Is
baseball title squarely in the eye, New
York fans today rallied to the support
of the Giants.
Dawn found two long lines Of bugs
standing at the Polo grounds, awaiting
the opening of the gates for the third
game Of the Zig series.
John McGraw stood halfway toward
his fourth defeat in five starts in the
autumn baseball classic. If he now sue

ed only once by a world series competi-
tor. When the first world 8 series was
played between American and National
league clubs, Boston came from behind
and won from Pittsburgh.
Speculation on a probable pitcher in
the third contest for the Giants was
the absorbing topic. The names Schupp,
Sallee, Perritt, Benton and even Jeff
Tesreau were included in the converse
tion league that held forth wherever
baseball players and fans congregated.
Sehupp and Sallee are holding the
main part of the fort, with Perritt a
close second.
Pitching selections for the White Sox
are scarcely noted in the discussions,
for it is an admitted fact, not only

A crowd Of several hundred faithful
started the Polo ground lineup in the
cleaning last night. The line of wait
ers was headed by two boys in khaki,
Donald Hillyer Of Los Angeles, and
Hugh Cooper Of Chicago. They man
aged to get leave from their camp in
Allentown, Pa to see the opener in
New York. They amused the shivering
fans all night with jolly ditties, such
as ''Down Among the Dead Men" and
"More Work for the Undertaken. -

WHITE AND COLORED
TROOPS ARE ASSIGNED
Sixteen White and One Col.
Ored Division In New
Grouping Scheme

Washington, Oct. 9.-The war depart
ment today announced a new grouping
of men in the national army to form
sixteen white divisions and one colored
division, besides bringing national guard
forces to full strength from the draft
ed men. The negro divisions will be
made up from every part of the ma
tion.
Voluntary cnlistments for the regular
army will keep it filled up without
transferring men from the first draft to
it. The balance of the 6S7 900 drafted
men will be used to supplement the
voluntary Venlistments for the special
and technical branches which form an
important part of the modern army.
fItNegroes will be distributed evenly
throughout the 16 national army canton
lments. ~ to
The principal reason for the readjust-
ment is the fact that in the southern
states, whose drafted quotas go to the
environments at Columbia, S. c., and
Little Rock, Ark, the whites needed to
fill up the national guard and the large
proportion of colored men, made it i'm
possible to organize three white nation
al guard and three white national ar
mics from these states. All the whites
from those states will be organized into
three national guard and one national
army division.
"FThis national army DIVISION" said
the war department, twill be organized
at Camp jackson, Columbia, S. G., from
the men left over from Camps Jack
son, Gordon and Pike, after the three
national guard divisions have been fill
ed up to strength. At Camp Gordon,
Atlanta, Ga, after its white quota has
been transferred to the national guard
division made up of surplus white men
drawn from Camp Devens, Upton, Dix
Meade and Lee; and at Camp Pike there
will be formed a national army division
of surplus white men from Camps Sher-
man, Custer, Grant, Taylor, Dodge, Fun
ston and Travis"

gument from that standpoint. Rowland
declared during the trip here from Chi

today, but the sudden cold weather may
force him to change his mind.
Slim Sallee ism t built on lines that

Poll Perritt' IS appearance in Chicago
Sunday was the most inspiring thing
New York fans have to think about,
and it may be that Perritt is in shape
to go back. But Ferdinand's stage
fright would not be so pronounced at
the Polo grounds. The youthful left
handler may get a chance to redeem
himself.
No excuses were offered here for the
Giants today. It was admitted every
whore that the White Sox had been
moderated in New York. The mauling
that the Giants had been expecting to
give the American league champions has
been turned to a bareback and Giant
fans were admitting the class of Char.

out a murmur.
| McGraw had nothing to say to any of
his players until they had almost reach
ed New York, and then he gave them
some advice. He pointed out to Kauff,
especially, that there certainly is a first
base in the Polo grounds for he has

tain there was such a thing in the White
SoX park, but urged Kauff to make
q sincere effort to locate it, Kauff and
Zimmerman have gone hitless so far.
Zimmerman, in fact, has not knocked
the ball out of the infield in the two
games played.
Clarence Rowland has met and dis
persed John McGraw S best efforts with
tactics startling in a manager supposed
to know nothing of world S series play
ing. The second game in Chicago was
won by an assault of hit and run play
ing, broken up with an occasional effort
at sacrifice that failed each time. The
attack left the Giants helpless and
quivering.

SUPREME Court SAYS
COUNTY MUST REFOND
Must Return Money Received
for Void Certificate Of Tax
Delinquency

The supreme court handed down but
two opinions this morning. One was in
the suit of A. Creason, appellant,
against Douglas county. Appeal from
decision of Judge Hamilton.
The proceedings show that in 1908
the assessor of Douglas county assessed
section SO in township 80, south of
range l west, to A. j. Kelleher, and
taxes were levied against it of $4,000,
That said tax not being paid, plaintiff
on October 5, 1909, rendered the full
sum with penalties and interest amount
ing to $152.04 to the tax collector, who
executed to him the prescribed delin-
quency certificate. Plaintiff paid
other taxes from date up to and includ-
ing 1914 amounting to $40S.43, the total
being $560.37. That such taxes were
void for the reason that the property
was unsurveyed. A claim for the re-
turn of. the money was presented to
the county court of Douglas county
which refused to order payment of the
sum or any part, wherefore plaintiff
brought suit. A demurrer was filed
claiming the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action, and this demurrer was sus-
tanned.
In an opinion by Justice Moore, the
lower court is reversed, it holding the
action at law was the proper remedy,
it being a matter in which no discre-
tionary power of the county court was
required, in which case a writ of re-
view would have been the proper pro-
cedure. The assessment was irregular
and the certificate of delinquency is
sued under it void. The county by the
terms of its certificate of delinquency
was bound to repay the amount of
money which it had received. The
statute of limitation had barred the
claim, but as this was not pleaded, it
is considered waived. Judgment re-
versed and plaintiff lis awarded the
sum specified. Mcbride, C. j., and
Bean and McCammant concur
w. G.. Barber, appellant against w.
E. johnson, as county clerk of Jeffer-
son county, Oregon. This was a suit
over the change of county seat. The
complaint in the lower court was dis
missed. In an opinion by Justice Nc
Cammant the lower court is sustained.
Rehearings were denied in Swank VS..
Moisan and Clatskanie VS.. Mcdonald.

turned here to pick up the thread Of
life that was broken when he was sent
to prison.
When young man Jones went to
Arkansas to work on a farm. He met
and loved the daughter Of the farmer
who employed him. The girl had an
other admirer, who was the son of a
wealthy farmer. He did not relish the
intrusion, quarreled with Jones and
fought a knife duel with him at the
gate Of the girls home. When the
fight ended Jones' rival was dead.
After a hasty trial Jones was con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sent to prison for life. After 43
years his case was laid before the
governor. A pardon was granted.
Old man Jones walked out Of the
prison. The girl for whom he had
fought had never married, but she
had long since been dead. Penniless,
Jones walked from Little Rock to
Greensboro. No one remembered him.
