CLEVELAND INDIANS
WIN BASEBALL TITLE
THIRD VICTORY FOR STANLEY

Cleveland, Oct. 12.-BaseBall
champions Of the world. The Cleve-
land American league club won that
supreme title here this afternoon,
when the Indians defeated the Brook
lyn Nationals in the seventh and de-
Gliding game of the 1920 series by a
score Of 3 to 0. Tonight Cleveland
is celebrating in a manner adequate
ly in keeping with the honor, ard it
is doubtful if a government procla-
nation announcing the selection Ct
this city as the future capital of the
United States would create ripple
of interest among the frenzied fans.
The shutout victory was chiefly en-
gineered by Stanley Coveleskie, the
spitball hurler of the local team,
who has proved to be pitcher of re-
markaole skill and endurance during
the series. Backed by an airti2h5 de-
ferse on the part CT his teammates at
the critical moments of the game, the
Shamokin, Pa, coal miner let the
Robins down with five hits. But two
Brooklyn players reached second
base during their nine innings at bat,
and but five of the invaders were left
on the bases, all told Coveleskie' S
feat in winning three of the five
games necessary to clinch the cham
pionship for Cleveland will go down
as one Of the outstanding features
of worlds series history and one OF
the most prominent and praiseworthy
factors in struggle which has fur
nished more startling incidents than
any similar series in years. The
Brooklyn batters accumulated but
two runs off the moistened slams of
Covey, as he is atfectionately called
here, in 27 innings in which he Of
ficiated on the hurting mound. He
let the Robins down with one run in
the first game at Brooklyn On Oc-

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 12.-Farmers,
business men and cotton producers
met here today and adopted strong
resolutions urging the reduction Of
cotton acreage for the next crop, the
holding of certain percentages of the
present crop off the market and
general holding of the present stocks
for better prices.
W. P. G. Harding, governor OF
the federal reserve board, sent
communication to the meeting, assur-
ing it of the cooperation of the fed
eral reserve banks in the financing of
cotton.
A telegram from Sunfower coun-
ty, Miss, read to the meeting an
nounced the closing of gins in that
part of the state until cotton reaches
better price.
Theo V. Wetzel of Nachez de-
clared that the Carolina cotton mills
in their efforts to hold down prices
are borrowing cotton from each other
rather than buying the new crop so
as to make the next report show a
light spinners' taking.

Farmers Face Loss,
Emphatic In Appeal

mand our 'righs and we will not
loosen up one pound of meat, wheat
or cotton until we get them::"
A suggestion by J. S. Wanna
maker that committee be appointed
to work for federal revolving fund
of $1,000, 100000 to be used for the
economic handling and marketing of
crops was not acted upon.
Ben L. March of the Farmer Ma
tional council protested against the
motion, saying no one body could be
said to represent all the American
farmers.
Mr.. Marsh also opposed a strike
of farmers, which he said, was sug-
gested by Senator Smith: adding:
Everybody knows there is no panic.
Let Us not be Bolsheviks."
! Dr.. W. J. Spillman, former chief
! of the bureau of farm marketing OF
the department of agriculture,
| charged that Secretary Houston and
the reserve board were engaged IN
drive to force down the price Of
wheat.
"Those gentlemen are using au-
thority placed in their hands for the
purpose of manipulating the market" 7"
he asserted.
Alfred Tunlin of Cave Springs,
Ca, said not half crop Of cotton
would be raised in his section next
j year. "The whole trouble" he said,
'is in Washington. There are night
riders in Georgia and day riders in
Washington" ~
Tobacco interests from Virginia
and North Carolina reported that the
;! average cost Of producing bright to-
! bacco was S5 cents a pound and 90
cents a pound for dark tobacco. They
declared that one-third of the cost
for the crop had gone into fertilizer.
! The committee also recommended
that the state organize tobacco
warehouse system similar to that OF
] the cotton growers.
The State.
! Washington, Oct. ,12.-Hope, was
confidently expressed here today by
those in close touch with the cotton
situation that the presence here to-
day of several hundred cotton men,
bankers and others who came to
Washington for the purpose of try
ing to do something to relieve the
present situation would have the de-
sired effect.
Every part of the cotton growing
country was represented when the
Southerners met and it is now prob
able that the president will urge
Secretary Houston to act in COM
pliance with the request Of Senators
Dial of South Carolina, Fletcher Of
Florida and Simmons Of North Caro-.
lima, when they addressed the presi-
dent letter on this subject as far
back as August 16, they foresaw
what the situation might develop
into before the big drop in cotton
came. If the president asks Secre-
tary Houston to act on this letter
and permit the war finance corpora
tion to again operate the matter will
be settled and prices again become
stabilized and this is now expected.

proved about the usual thing in min

The show was scheduled to begin at

General Leonard Wood, and several

brow the American government.
Chairman Hays said there was a
remedy for "the Industrial Workers
of the World, or what mott is ta-
ken against the wall, standing"
General Wood declared the great
issue Of the day was maintenance of
law, order and respect for consti-
tuted authority. ''Ninety-nine per
cent of the labor organizations are
on the square and want to run
straight" he declared.
He advocates placing labor under
American leadership" and taking it
out of the hands of the Reds, wher-
ever they have gained control.
Don't make America the dumping
ground for the degenerates of the

WASHINGTON SPLIT
IN OPINION ON BIG
ROUNDUP OF REDS

Washington, Jan. 6.-Not every
body in the national capital is dis
posed to look with satisfaction upon
the dramatic roundup Of hundreds
of Reds by the department of justice.
In so far as the move shows the
backbone of the Democratic ad-
ministration and deprives its politi-
cal opponents of the proprietary
rights of the claw and order" issue,
it is, of course, approved by the pure
ly political.
In so far as the move affects. ad-
versely the chances of A. Mitchell
Palmer to capture the Democratic
nomination for presidency, it meets
with approval with all the frineds
of the other candidates who seem to
see in the action of the department
of justice an excessive zeal to do by
psychological impression in big
raid, what the department might hc
unable to accomplish by individual
prosecutions.
Under such circumstances the in,
nocent are hauled in with the guilty
and inasmuch as the labor vote and
alien vote has been largely Demo
cratic, the prospect must be consid

shown himself inimical to labor first

SENATE COMMITTEE ..>s'.
TO INVESTIGATE AWARD
SIT OF MEDALS IN NAVY

Washington, Jan. 6.-The senate
naval affairs committee today order
ed appointment of subcommittee
to investigate awards of war medals
to naval officers.
The committee is directed to go
into the criticisms of unfairness
made against Secretary of the Navy
Daniels by Admiral Sims. and other
high naval officers.
The senate committee voted 10 to
1 for this investigation following
lengthy arguments. Senator Walsh,
Montana, Democrat, cast the only
vote against the investigation. Sena-
tor King, Utah, Democrat, proposed
appointment of committee to deter.
mine whether an investigation
should be made, but Senator Lodge,
Massachusetts, declared that criti'
.cisms coming from such high naval
officers as Admiral Sims warranted
the senate in beginning an inquiry at
once.
Chairman Page announced he will
appoint the sub committee within q
wv days. The subcommittee will
consist of five members of the naval
afairs committee and is authorized
70 sit jointly with the house com.
:aittee during the investigation.
