Riverton. N J., Aug. l0.-The Jap

ate barrage Of hug poisons, burned head-
lands and imported enemies which the
Department Of Agriculture experts had
established around it's qunrantlned area
in Burlington and Camden Counties.
Scouts employed by the department
have found the beetles during the last

Bulington County, while reports tha

DAYTON, O., Aug lo.-Believing that
the Democratic platform, as interpreted
hy Gov. Cox in his acceptance speech,
oilers a special ground for appeal TO

srnt out with instructions to carry the
Democratic message into women's clubs,
sewing circles. or wherever group of
Cwomen can bc gotten together.
"Onr speakers" said Mrs Bass to-
dav, will wage their campaigns along
three lines, which will make an especial
appeal TO women. First, the general
progressive accomplishments of the
Democratic party: second, the progressive
record of the Presidential nominee in

Now York, Aug. 10---The Committee
Of Forty-EiRht, which has been trying
to organise new party along liberal
lines, decided At q meeting Of its executive
committees last night to have no Presi-

Themselves to the principles Of the Liberal
Party. The candidates where possible
are to be put on the ballots under the
Liberal Psrty's designation, but other
wise are TO be run independently No

Gipp to land in a tie with him for

game and Moore was the one who
registered the victory over him.
Since that time Gipp had won eight
straight matches.
Both players are evenly matched

billiards. preferring to attempt
doubtful shots rather than play a
safe game. Moore. it is stated.

YANKEE OWNERS
AF TER PENNANT
Signing of babe" Ruth is Inl-
tiaI Step in Big Money
Drive for Flag.
BY HENRY T.. FARRELL.
a nited Press stan Correspondent. }


NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Purchase
of Babe" Ruth. home run king. by
the Yankees. for a reported price Of
between s1OO.OoO and 1925. 900 is the
climatic step in the big money drive
for a pennant in New York
Harry Frazee, owner of the Red
Sox, who was forced 10 the sale be-
cause he could not meet the slug
gers salary demands has not made
known how much the Coloners
Rupert and Houston paid for the
star hitter, fielder and biggest draw
ing card of the major leagues.
Spend Much Money.
If il was 1925. 600 1t will run the
sum the Yankee management has
spent for playing strength in a few
years up to about s25O,OOO.
In the middle Of last summers
campaign, the Yankees startled the
baseball world by buying another
rebel Red Sox star, Pitcher Carl
Mays for a price reported at $50
600 but 1t was brought out in the
litigation that ensued that the Hub
owners had been paid $4,000 for
the submarine slabman. Previous TO
that the Yankees paid 81 900 for
the services OF Frank Home Run"
Baker, $4,000 for Lee Maeee and a
sizeable sum for Duffy Lewis.
The Giants, the town-mates of the
Yankees in the National league.
were held up last season as the most
glazing example of buying a pen
nant. But the Giants are crowded
almost into insignificance by the lib
crafty of the two colonies.
Want Great Team.
Previous TO this deal. the price
tags on Mays, iris Speaker, Eddie
Collins and Joe Jackson rode the
crest of the financial wave at $50
600. Alexander and Killefer drew
$4,000, and Strunk, Bush and
Schang drew $4,000.
II is a mooted question IL a pen
nant can be bought and it may be
proved this year for the skeptics
as the Yankee colonies say they are
not through with the Ruth deal but
are out to assemble, by means of
much cash, the greatest team that
ever played together.
Dire Straits.
The Yankees were in dire straits
for a good outfielder and by spend
ing a little more money than would
be required TO get a fair player they
landed the biggest drawing card OF
baseball, a player who in time will
draw a gate that will pay back the
purchase price penny for penny. And
if ne clubs the Yankees into a pen
nant, he will pay a dividend on the
investment. And in addition the
Yankees may win more support in
their political fight against Ban
Johnson by showing the opposing
faction just how strong they are fl
nancially.
It must be figured too that the
purchase price does not end the fl
nancial outlay. Ruth demanded 500
600 a year of the Red Sox and it's
a Cinch that his demands OF the
Yankees will not be less modest
when he has heard of the coin that
was paid for him.
