GR|FFS PLAY YANK
TEAM AGAIN TODAY
Babe Ruth Assaults Acosta and
Shaw and Now Has Fifty
one Home Runs.

NEW YORK. Sept 25.-The Griffs
have another rendezvous with the
Yanks today and. II the opening tus-
sles count for much. they are likely
to stick another nail into the coffin
of the Yanks' pennant hopes.
Clark Griffith sent his midget
finger, Jose Acosta. against Carl
Mays in the opening game yesterday
and COPIED. 3 to I. The Cuban easily
outpitched his buikier opponent
The second skirnish was pitching
duel in which Jim Shaw came off sec
ond best, the Yanks winning, to l.
Babe Ruth celebrated his return TO
the Polo Grounds by lifting two
home runs out into the ozone. The
first came off Acosta in the hrst
inning of the first game, bringing his
total up to nifty and causing much
money to change hands all over the
country. The Bambino Immediately
gave hts bat to Mile. Nouvart dc
Zeron Koshgarian to be auctioned OF
for the benefit of Armenian relief.
Ruth's second circuit smash, his
fifty-first for the year, came in the
first inning of the second game. Jim
Shaw had given him two wide ones
and then tried to sneak one over the
heart OF the plate. Bang. and the
ball was on it's way, landing in the
right field bleachers.

BOBBY VEACH TIES OLD .
RECORD WITH SIX HITS

Bobby Veach, of the Tigers. reached
Sam Jones. Harry Harper and Ben Karr
of the Red Sox on August II for six
hits in as many tries. A delve through
the American League archives fail to
show a player performing this unusual
batting feat since the season of 1902,
when Erwin Harvey of Cleveland, on
April 25, punched out six hits off Billy
Reidy, of st. Louis.
Again, the same year. Danny Murphy,
of the Athletics, July s. rammed the
combined offerings of Bill Adkins and
Cy Young. of Boston. Getting six hits
in as many tries was performed for the
third time that year by Jimmy. Williams
of Baltimore who. on August rs. touch
ed Clark Griffith and Leitner for six
hits in six times at bat
Since then, over period Of nearly
nineteen years. no American League
player has poled six hits in six times at
bat in one game.
Veach punched out 8 singles, a
double, a triple, and a home run for a
total of IL bases Veach, by getting 1
of each kind of hit, is the first player
in his league to hit for the cycle in his
league this year, an odd feature of
which is that George Burns of the
Giants, who rammed FIVE hits off Babe
Adams, of the Pirates the same day, also
hit for the cycle for the first time in
his. company this season. Burns, by
| getting an extra two-bagger, also hit
! for IL total bases.

FOOTBALL LID LIFTED;
HOLY CROSS AT HARVARD
"Pop" Heisman Makes His Debut as
Penn Coach in Game With
Delaware.

The football lid blows of today In
every section OF the country. The
games scheduled are unimportant but
they will give fans and coaches an OPP
portunity to inspect the strength of
new material.
Harvard is the FIRST OF the East's
big Three" to get started. The Cam
bridge team takes on Holy Cross at
Cambridge, with every chance OF lay
ing up big score. The Harvard line
is heavy and the backfield fast, which
doesn't foretell anything particularly
good for Holy Cross.
Many eyes will be turned on the
Pennsylvania University team which
plays it's first game under guidance
OF Pop Heisman. former coach at
Georgia Tech. Penn plays Delaware
at Philadelphia.

The American League thrill Ia
pered off some today with the news
that Cleveland had handed Chicago

the Sox TO 60 into the lead In the

chances of watching a worlds series

books for this club.
Derrill Pratt probably viii leave
baseball this year, which is the most
brilliant he ever enjoyed. Duny
Lewis may decide 70 quit, also new
set of pitchers is badly needed by
the Yankees, and there are rumors
that Miller Higgins is TO get the
ak.
The Giants start today their last
effort to get into the 1870 world
series, when they play the first of

Home Run Champion Signs to
Play Ten Games With

HAVANA. Sept. 25.-Babe Ruth,
champion home run hitter. will play
ten games at Almendares Park late
next month. according to an official
announcement today from Abel
Llnares. local baseball promoter and
manager.
Ruth will come to Havana with
his wife and private secretary" says
Linares. "He will make his first APP
pearance with the Almendares on Oc-
tober 80, He has signed for $4,000,
or $1,000 a game, the highest amount
ever given a ball player.
The first major league team to visit
Cuba this year" continued Mr.. Linares,
will be the Cincinatti Reds. Their
manager, Pat Moran, will bring them
and they will open the first series with
the Almandares team. McGraw's
Giants will follow the Reds. Mr.. Nc
Graw, however. will not be able to
conduct the tour of his team to Cuba,
as he has other interests which viii
require his time
You cannot imagine the effort /
had to expend to arrange all these
details. 1t was very hard to close the
deal for Babe Ruth to sign a contract
to come here and play ball. Had 1
spent all i owned, however. / should
never have given up until / signed
him, for l was determined to bring
him to Havana so that Cuban fans
might have a look at the famous
batter. Mrs. Ruth had heard about
Havana and / think she really per-
suaded Babe to come down"
Mr.. Linares was the first man to
take a Cuban ball club north. In
July, 1901. he undertook that venture
and the tours of his Cuban stars have
brought more than one phenomenal
Cuban player to the attention OF
American fans

 TELLS OF OUR WORK IN ARMENIA

Admiral Mark L. Bristol, United States High Commissioner to Turkey has expressed his appreciation of the work being done in the Near East by the American Near East Relief in a letter addressed to Col. James F. Coombs, Managing Director of the American relief organization accord ing to a cable received today from Constantinople by the New York of fee of the Near East Relief.
 1T have for a long time felt in sym pathy with the work that you and those under you have been carrying out''> the American representative writes Col. Coombs, therefore it is a privilege to me to state publicly my feelings towards your work. If I have been able to encourage the workers of the Near East Relief, or give them assistance in any way, I feel that I am more than repaid in keeping with the success that has at- tended the efforts of the Near East Relief Committee in ,nis part of the world in the past. I hope the future will bring you greater success. It will always give me pleasure to render any assistance possible to the c4mmittee as a whole, to any of the workers and to the great work of Humanity that the committee represents

such result would be accomplished.
 Money and Exchange.

An indication of the results of the
 banking policy that has been pursued
 is seen in the recovery of the reserve
 ratio by about a, point at the beginning
 of this week and in the improvement
 of banking statements generally. This
 better condition seems to show that
 there has been a. reduction in the m
 tensity of the crop moving demand-
 a fact already announced from other quarters. The condition of the money market in New York has certainly been better during the past few days, thus continuing the improvement which had been initiated a. week or so ago. Time funds have been in dis tinctly better supply, while call rates have been stable around per cent. In the agricultural field the greatest demand for funds during the next sev- eral weeks will be from the South to move the cotton crop. After that money should return in large volume to this center. In the meantime 1m- portant Shipments of gold to this side can be confidently relied upon to pro- vide for the maturity of the Anglo French loan next month; about l5,- O00,O00 for this purpose has arrived and will be figured in the reserves Of the Federal Reserve Bank. A better | outlook in foreign politics should have produced a distinct improvement in | foreign exchange. This to some ex- l tent has been retarded by the fact that l large quantities of grain and cotton l bills have been placed on the market
 as a result of early autumn exports, while with eachFupward movement in 1 exchanges the usual tendencies to 1 realize on some portion of the large | balances which our business men are 1 holding abroad has reasserted itself.
 Exchange quotations have thus been i held down at time when they might ! otherwise have shown a distinctly | greater improvement. The financing l attendant upon the Anglo-French se- curity operations has not yet been 1 com6leted and will be a disturbing | factor for some time to come, espec1- ally in view of the announcement that ! the French maturities are to be en- ] tire1y taken up.. Meanwhile invest ment conditions are apparently inn i proving and the demand for good i securities is stronger in many quar- l ters. It is an unfortunate fact that at the extraordinary session of the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-10-02

In spite of the expectations express
 ed during the latter part of last week.
 when better labor conditions seemed to be in process of development both
 in England and Italy. it is still uncer-I tain whether there is a possibility of adjusting the situation in both coun- tries in such a way as to bridge over the present industrial chaSm. Varying prospects in this connection have re- f1ected themselves to some extent ir foreign exchange conditions during the past week. In an economic way the foreign situation now undoubtedly
 centers to a large extent around the Brussels conference which opened on Sept. 24. At this conference it is ln-
 tended to discuss chiefly the stabiliza-
 ton of foreign exchange and sundry financial questions affecting the Ger man indemnity payment It is to be regretted that the United States can
 not be officially represented at the Brussels conference. although an un- official representative has been named.
 In the opinion of many. however. no
 program that may be determined
 upon will be likely to receive much
 serious attention in practice unless
 the active participation of this coun-
 try is provided for and arrangements
 to that end may be undertaken later.
 Economic Reconstruction.
 Financial conditions as affecting the
 foreign situation will grow better as
 the process of economic reconstruc-
 ton continues There is already en- coura ging evidence, which is being daily strengthened by the reports of travellers who have visited various European countries to the effect that material improvement is being shown in most of the nations which suffered from the war, even including Ger many. Progress would be very much more rapid if some feasible plan for adjusting banking and currency con- | ditions and restoring stability in for eign exchange could be worked out, and this lends more interest to the possibilities of the outcome at Brus- sels. Meantime very decided progress | is being made in our own country. Reports during the past week show | that the process of moving the crops is l proceeding successfully. There is ap- parent reason for thinking that the 1 peak of credit demand has been i reached and passed in the regions l where such credit is needed for 1 growing and transporting the crop to | market The peak of credit needs has 1 probably not been passed in the export l trade, but it will present relatively l little diff culty in that branch of busi- l ness. The process of shifting aboT l and capital from less sSentia1 to more essential industries is proceeding rap I idly as shown from the reports of the i Bureau of Labor, which, while indl- | eating a reduction in the number o1 l employees in sundry industries during | the month of August, also indicate ar | increase in the number employed by ! others Among the industries whicf have lost ground and the number o1 employees is the business of manufac turing pleasure automobiles, which i: said to have fallen off 10 per cent.
 while. on the other hand, paper man ufacture and various others increased materially. Reports of business re
 sumption in various mills where sus pension had occurred continue tt
