Little Frisch was nervous and fidgetty
at second, especially in the first game
He was charged with only one error in
fifteen chances, but he cuffed around
quite a few OF his chances before he
made his plays. In the second game the
Fordham lad had a chance to retire the
side on double play with the bases
full. He jumped for Groh's liner, but
only got it on the tip Of his glove. and
the hit sent In two runs.
However. the boy again was the same
little jackrabbit on the towpaths. He
stole three more bases. giving him six
in the last two days. 1t was tough
strain on a kid Just out OF college to play
before such a crowd, and McGraw would
rot have used him but for the fact that

Eller shined balled the Giants into
submission in the first game. He made
no effort to hide It either. Hold would
dig into his hip pocket for his talcum
powder and then would shine the ball on
his trousers. John Heydler. National
League president, takes the stand that
AZ long as a pitcher doesn't dirty or mu-
tilate the ball this skinner" of Eller's is
as legitimate a delivery as the splitter,
which still is in good repute in the

but there was nothing to It. They had
to take defeat as their portion. The
Reds took a commanding lead in the
fourth inning OF the first game when
Eller bumped his homer, and after that
they were saturated with confidence.
That is one of the strong features of the
Cincinnati play this year. They can
get severely trounced one day. as on last
Thursday. only to come back next day
fresh as daisy and continue on their
serene way Of winning the pennant.
That's more of Moran's managerial

.NONPARTISAN STATE
OFFICIALS ATTACKED

BIsMARK. Nov. 26.-Whether al
effort to impeach three state officials
twice elected to Office with the indorse-
ment Of the Nonpartisian League but
now at enmity with the leaders of the
farmers party will be made during
the extraordinary session of the North
Dakota legislature. opening today, is
a matter of speculation.
The legislature will be Nonpartisan
in majority. The officials who may be
attacked are: William LANCER. at
torney general; Thomas Hail.. secre-
tarv of state; and Karl Kositzky, state
auditor.
Opposition between these three off
cials and leaders of the league, grow
ing for sometime, eliminated last
month when LANCER and' Hall as
majority of the state banking board,
closed the Scandinavian American
State bank of Fargo. y. D, against
the vote of the governor. third mem
ber of the beard.
The bank carried paper for the lea
que and allied organizations and was
held by the banking board to be in
because of alleged excessive
loans and farmers post dated checks
as collateral. The Nonpartisans de-
clared this move was an attempt tc
break the league financially, In the
North Dakota supreme court the bank
was declared solvent and returned to
the directors.
Matters to come before the special
session are: the federal suffrage
amendment; aid for farmers in
lrouth stricken portions Of the state.

Industrial program inaugurated by the
