CINCINNATI, Oct 7.-The per son who was directed yesterday to shin up the pole at Redland park and measure it for the world champion ship bunting slid down the shaft a bit today and the measuring was postponed.
 The reason was the Chicago White Sox today overcame a lead of four runs and by delivering one more tally in the tenth round won the game, to 4.
 It was a contest replete with thrills and heart-breaks, varied by some weird fielding, snappy base running, mighty ciouts in the third and fourth rounds in the course of which four Redlegs crossed the pan.
 In the fifth, however, the Sox turned two passes and a single into tally and in the sixth two doubles and two singles were the major fac tors in the three runs which tied the score To Buck Weaver, sterling third baseman, who wielded a mighty stick, fell the distinction of record ing the winning run in the tenth. He was the first man up and doubled to center, his second two-sacker of the game. The partisan crowd became hushed, and then began to chant en- couragement to Ring, who had re- placed Reuther as pitcher for the Reds.
 Jackson tried a bunt and missed, but on a second attempt the ball dribbled a few feet down the third base line, and while the ball was perfectly helded, Jackson crossed the initial sack with time to spare, Wea- yer landing on third.
 Felsch struck out, but Gandil sin gled and Weaver scored.
 In their half of the tenth, the Reds went out in order and the day closed with the series standing four victories for Cincinnati and two for Chicago.
 Dick Kerr, who pitched Chicago'i only previous victory, 3 to o game, at Chicago, was again called upon by Manager Gleason, and although II hits were registered against him, he was steady in the pinches and

By Associated Fress)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-The peace treaty was sidetracked for three hours today while the senate debated and passed a bill to bestow upon Judge Advocate General E. H. Crowder, on his retirement from the army, the permanent rank of lienten- ant general.
 Then about the usual adjourning time the pact was called up and the printed text read up to the section relating to Shantung, on which the next fight will be made.
 At that point the senate quit work for the night
 Senator Chamberlain, democrat, of Oregon, spoke for two hours op- posing the promition, and there was much debate before a vote was reached.
 During the morning hour," the two-hour period beginning at noon, in which everything on and off the calendar is discussed, there was, however, a sharp wrangle over the League of Nations due to charges that the League to Enforce Peace' and other organizations were putting out propaganda in an effort to force the senate to ratify the treaty un- amended.

AT WORK GENERAL WOOD SAYS; RAIDS GATHER IN
 RADICALS
(By Associated Pressl

CHICAGO. Oct. 7-Quiet reigned in the Chicago steel strike area to- night, after a day of raids on the homes of agitators in Gary, where 1000 regular troops are in control.
 Indiana state troops enforced mar tial law in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor..
 The days chief developments were the charges of Major General Leon ard Wood and Mayor Hodges of Gary that Reds" had been at work attempting to foment trouble, and the raids by government agents
 A number of men suspected of Red" activities were haled before the military authorities and numer- ous others were taken on charges of carrying concealed weapons. None of the alleged radicals were locked up, but some of those carrying weapons were still in the guardhouse tonight.
 Federal agents seized much in flammatory literature and the activ- ities of the military, municipal and federal officers for the first time since the strike began took the minds of strikers and others off the in dustrial struggle itself.
 As far as the strike was concerned there was little change today. Sev- eral hundred men returned to work.

AND ROCK USED ID PUT MAN
 OUT OF WAY.

Shot in the back, his head beaten in with a stone and his body partly burned on the desert near Yampai- that was the fate of an unknown man, whose remains on being brought to Prescott last night, re- vealed the fact that he had gone through the campaign on the western front as member of the Canadian infantry.
 Unrecognizable though the body is, Sheriff Davis, Coroner McLane and Constable Bill Fitzgerald. who drove l30 miles to the scene of the murder, have become convinced they can trace the mans antecedents from insignia on the charred uni form that show he was a member of Company C, 20th Canadian Infantry.
 It was Sunday that a sheepherder rushed wildly into the ranch of the Aubrey Investment company at YamPai, reporting the discovery of a body on the desert about two miles from the automobile road. I. A. Irenberth, president of the company. at once wired Sheriff Davis of the facts, and Davis drove north late Monday night with Coroner McLane and Constable Fitzgerald. They brought the body to Prescott last night completing a grilling and gruesome 24-hour journey.
 Ii robbery was the motive that prompted the shooting of the un- known soldier in the back, the killer had his trouble for his pains, for con cealed within one spiral puttee was the sum of $6O in currency and some small change in silver.
 From the fact the corpse had no identity disk such as is worn by Canadians, it is believed the deceased had been discharged from the serv- ice. What was left of his clothing, however, was entirely uniform ma terial, even to the suspenders which the Canadian army issues instead of belts. A felt leather lined wrist pro tector gave no evidence of identity.
 The killing may have been delib- erately planned. A shot in the back from a 38 caliber gun completely pierced the mans body. Near the corpse was found the bloodstained stone with which his head had been battered.
 Quite fire had been made on and around the body, which was SO badly burned that it was impossible to recognize any details of face or hair. The arms, which were held up as though to protect the face, were also badly burned
 Steps are being taken to get in touch with the Canadian personnel who may be able to tell whether a man named Fulton is or has been a member of the 10th Infantry. The name Fulton was found written in indellible ink inside the waistband of the trousers.
 Apparently no one on the main line remembers the mans passing at least no one has been found yet who can remember having seen Canadian soldier, evidently making his way other than as a passenger, along the main line of the Santa Fe. Officials believe the murder was committed by party in an automo- bile, but decline to give the reason for this belief.

Jack Dempsey Looks For Europe
To Produce Boxer To Meet Him
For The Heavyweight Title Belt
Digging Out the Old
Fall Suit.

JACK DEMPSEY has been looking
to Europe to produce n suitable
opponent for him ever since he lifted
jess wIIlard's ehapeau. Jack Is still
looking.
Regardless Of what British boxing
fans may think Of Beckett. their new
heavyweight champion. or what the
French fans may claim for Georges
Carpenter. the fact remains that un-
I'll these two meet to decide who's
who in Europe Dempsey will not feel
forced to accept a match with either
man.

the substitution of Eddie MeGOOrty in

pOnent for Dempsey, and IL did not
satisfy American boxing fans. who
had been looking forward to the
match with real interest
The explanation that Carpenters
having been recalled to military serv-
ice prevented his appearing against
Beckett was all well and good. yet n
big percentage OF the fans on this
side OF the pond could not help won
derinE whether or not there was n
eOlOred gentleman In the well known
SEOOdpile.
They asked themselves II II did not
look as though Carpenter might have
felt Incapable Of beating Beckett At
the time and found m answer in the
affirmative. In this ease. even though
allowing for Carpenters long IayDff
rs the active defender OF the Euro
pean heavyweight title, the fans here
felt that the postponement OF the
match was something OF a tipOff on
Carpentier's real condition.
