IsTAFF CORRESPONDENT Il N. SERyICE1
CHICAGO, Oct 4.-"This is another
day" remarked Pat Moran shortly after
sunrise
Quite SO, quite So commented Kid
Gleason. Another day for breaking up
that Cincinnati OUTFIT"
All Of which merely echoes the senti-
ments Of the hoi polloi hereabouts. The
natives heartened by the White Sox tri-
umph Friday feel that the turn has come
in the fortunes Of their favorites: that
now they are in fun stride towards the
goal of another worlds championship
But the Redland rooters, who are hero
in volume, merely sniff at the hurrahing
OF the Sox enthusiasts. And the Red
athletes are doing ditto. .
Can't win all Of them" said Pat
Moran, we are not miraclemen. Sox
had to get q game somewhere-and they
got II yesterday. We were beaten, but
we didn't crack You'll notice that And
the boys never quit fighting. They were
up and doing every minute. But Dick
Kerr stopped them. Great boy. that
Kerr But he cant pitch every day.
I've got a gang Of batters-and when
a gang is whipped once IT is feverishly
anxious for another battle so as TO wipe
out the stain. The boys are raring to 60
today-and they are going right through
TO victory"
Dutch Reuther-who pitched the Sox
into submission and dubbed them to a
pulp on opening day. probably will be
sent after them today.
Just who will do the hinging for the
sox is a matter for conjecture. Probab-
ly It will be Eddie Cicotte who is beg
ging for another whiri Possibly Mayer
will draw the assignment. And there's
o rather slim chance for Bill James
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1919-10-04

It's a rather tough plight-that OF
Gleason's. He doesn't know what Mayer
or James can do. He does know the
Reds bumped Cicotte of the mound and
he isn't sure whether Eddie can do
successful comeback" And the kid
wants today's game-oh how he wants
it. The victory will make 1t all even
again Whereas defeat will force the
Sox to win four combats before the
Reds annex two
Meanwhile the betting. which has
shown about as many shifts as prina
donna has moods. IS suffering another
CONFUSION. It's even money on today's
affair and only TO 5-a drop from yes
terday's 2i4 10 /. that the Reds grab The
championship bunting
A crowd-at least 5000 larger than
Fridays game. was in prospect today.
The fact that many bleacher seats were
unsold yesterday when il was assumed
that the sunbaked stands would be filled
to overflowing influenced new thousands
to hurry to the park today.
A side issue lure was the remote pos
sibility that some OF the noble athletes
would start something" The bad feel
ing which took birth in the second game
when the Reds began TO "razz'' the Sox
presages a little "fstcuffing" upon the
slightest provocation.
In their odd moments the noble ath-
Ietes are figuring up their hoped for
shares. Boosting the prices Of seats
this year has smashed all receipt rec
ords. The daily average IS around the
100000 mark and the boys share in he
spoils of the first I'VE combats.
Despite the fact that certain portion
of the players share goes to members
of the non pennant-winnirg clubs,
therell be enough left for the world s
series performers TO keep a whole pack
of wolves from the family threshold.
The players share record is slightly
more than S4.o00-the portion drawn by
the 1912 Red Sox. This year the win
ners viii get approximately $1,000 each
while the losers should take unto them
selves no less than $4,000 If the present
gate ratio IS maintained.

LEATHER-Cood
Cape Skins on the Vay

Glove manufacturers are eagerly
awaiting the arrival of several large
shipments of high grade capeskins
which, according to reports, are on the
way to this country from South Africa.
AS soon as the skins arrive the tanners
VIII put them into work promptly, so
that they can be ready for fabrication
by the end of February, 1920.
Colored gloves are exceedingly fash
lonable.. The shortage of fne kid
gloves in colors has thrown a greater
percentage of the current demand for
leather gloves on some of the light
weight better grade domestic capes and
lambs. Beaver, sable and various other
brown and tan shades that match furs
and shoes of those colors are promi-
nent, especially in the softer, clearer
tones. This tendency toward very
clear. soft tones is also noticeable in
the gray shades, and is, no doubt,
rsponsible for the interest shown in
the field mouse grays. Gloves m ade
up of mocha are very scarce and prices
remain high. Substitutes, however,
are being shown in vast array Of
grades and styles.
The length question continues to be
a leading topic for discussion In the
spring styles. 1t is now generally
conceded that the long, gauntlet type
Of glove will hold prominc position
in the styles. Semi-long gloves are
also expected to be popular, especially
in light weights which approach as
nearly as possible the fine soft French
kid novelties.

JEWELRY-Ouerfo,0 Of
Business Goes to Providence

Manufacturing jewelers. of Provi-
dence are overwhelmed with orders
from New York wholes salers and re-
tailers who have found it almost i'm
possible to satisfy their demands in
the local market because of the con-
tinued strike of jewelry workers. This
business has been received in such
volume that many of the Rhode Island
manufacturers are reported to have re-
fused to book orders for delivery be-
fore March or April. Manufacturers
are sold up for months ahead, and be-
cause of the slightly curtailed produc-
ton, caused partly by the shorter work
ing day and partly by the scarcity Of
expert workmen, they have been unable
to take full advantage of the demands
Of the New York merchants
Orders booked by many Of the COM
panies are said to be sufficient to keep
their factories working we'll into the
summer Of 1920. From present indica-
tions, the jewelry industry in Rhode
Island will have an even more prosper
Gus year in 1920 than has been expert
enced during 1919.
The December invasion of buyers in
Attleborp is reported to be greater
than ever before. Buyers from every
state in America have made their ap-
pearance and are said to be ordering
heavier supplies for the spring of 1920
than in the CORES sponding -eriod of the
preceding year. This buying applies in
particular to the better grades of mer-
chandise.

counter-charges. extending over two
legislative days, brought adoption late
to-day in the House of a special rule
permitting immediate consideration OF
the report of the committee which
investigated wartime expenditures OF
the War Department.
Democratic members throughout the
two sessions waged a hard fight to pre-
vent consideration of the report, which
they asserted made no specific charges
and was only a series of veiied hints
at fraud. In reply. Republican repre-
sentatives charged the Democrats with
blocking proceedings ''to conceal the
fraud ard incompetence of the War
Department"
Wasteful Expenditure Charged
The report, which was filed several
weeks ago by the committee of which
Representative Graham. of Illinois, is
cha .rran, attacked War Department
officials for alleged wasseful expendi-
ture of money and suggested re-
opening of all claims for unexpired
contracts settled by the department
and submission of these claims to an
impartial board for final approval. The
report Will be discussed further to-

prepared speech on the findings Of
mis- committee.
Representative Campbell, Republican
of Kansas, speaking on the proposal
to permit consideration of the report,
renewed his attack on r. H. Long,
Democratic candidate in the recent
gubernatorial election in Massachu-
setts, declaring that millions of dol
'ars were taken from the people and

which has begun.
Retailers are in great need of more
rlooons for the holiday trade. The
business in strictly holiday ribbons
those printed with holly and other
Christmas designs-has been lighter
than usual because of change in the
character of consumer demand. Much
OF the ribbon now used in tying up
Christmas gifts, according to retailers.
is OF the dainty shade variety, suitable
for use in lingerie, etc, by the recip-
tent. White, light blue and pink are
among the favored colors this year.
Metallic effects and bright brocades
are IN strong demand by both retailers
and dress manufacturers. Such rio
oons are destined for use as dress
trimmings during the coming spring
season, to relieve the somberness Of
plain dark-hued silks to be used in gar

U. S. Sugar Control
Demanded to Keep
Rein ON PrOfteers
House Leaders Agree That
McNary Bill Should Be
Amended to Continue
Federal Licensing System

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Complete
government control of prices and dis
tribution of sugar is necessary for pro-
lection of family consumers from
profiteers. members of Congress de-
clared to-day before the House Agri-
cultural COMMITTEE. At the same time,
George A. Zabriskie. president of the
Sugar Equalization Board, advised the
committee that continuance of the
board would be useless unless it were
given control over prices and distribu-
ton. These powers, President Zabiskie
stated in a telegram to the committee,
are not included in the pending Nc
Nary bill.
Opposition to the McNary bill, passed
last week by the Senate, has Led to an
informal agreement among committee
men and House leaders to eliminate
from the measure the provision repeal
ing the licensing powers of the gov
er"ment as conferred by the food con-
trol act. Chairman Haugen said formal
a plan calling for early action by the
House. Leaders, however, were doubt
fuI whether the bill. if amended, could
be finally disposed of by Congress be-
fore the holiday recess.
simultaneously with the meeting Of
the agriculture committee, the House
Interstate Commerce Committee to-
morrow will meet to consider bill
proposing an embargo on all sugar ex-
ports. Advocates of broad government
control, as we'll as the purchae of the
Cuban crop, told the committee that
"sky high prices" were threatened and
he mere purchase of the Cuban crop
only would aid protiteers by increas-
ing the supply.
For the first ten months of this year
almost .25O, 100000 pounds of sugar
have been exported from this country,
said Representative Da linger, Repub-
lican, of Massa sachusetts, citing the
Equa ization Board as authority for
his figures. The only general opposi-
tion to the bill was voiced by Repre-
sentative Martin. Democrat, of Lousi-
ana, who declared it was unnecessary,
and blamed the shortage on Congress
sional agitation for purchase of the
Cuban crop, and the recent longshore-
mems strike, which delayed deliveries.
