JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE

Press Dugout, Polo Grounds, New
York, Oct. "a warm sun that made
overcoatS extremely unpopular beat
down on the early birds who filed into
the stands under Coogan's bluff to
watch the second death grapple of
the Yankees and the Giants.
AS on yesterday, the majority who
had reserved seats stayed away until
the last minute.
The bleachers-home of the real
fanatics-filled Up rapidly and were
half tenanted by noon.
The upstairs section of the grand
stand-where they scramble for seats
also-again had lots of empty seats.
They cost $3.50. Maybe that's the
reason for the non-attendance.
The early crowd was entertained by
a band that camped on benches in
front Of the Yank's bench playing ev-
erything from Dixie to the latest
jazzy fox trot.
The peanut venders did a thriving
business in the bleachers: The folks
and they were hungry.
Governor Miller was slated to throw
out the first ball today, and in honor
O1 the OCCdSlOn the DO8 ne Is 10 occupy
was all dolled up with flags.
Long before the players appeared,
the bat boys lugged out the weapons
with which each team hopes to smash
it's way to victory. There were about
fifty war clubs in front of each bench.
"Hackensack' Harry Harper, the
Yanks' lone southpaw twirler, warmed
up by fielding bunts. He'll win, if
he's right said a fan.
Brooklyn once, and ever since has
took part in the Yankees batting
practice, indicating he may pitch to-
day. Hoyt is a former Giant. In fact.
McGraw discovered him, but after
many trials the Giants passed him UP.
Now Hoyt wants a crack at his for
mer teammates. And the Giants hope
to do some cracking too.
Only a handful of fans waited in
line during the early morning hours
today at the Polo grounds to make
sure of getting into the second game
of the worlds series. Profiting by
their experience of yesterday, when
5000 places were vacant, the bulk OF
the fans seemed to have spent the
night in sweet and well earned repose
Only two men were in line at mid
night. They said they were Albert
TeraiI, a chauffeur of Hartford
Conn, and Mike McKeown of Law
renee, Mass.

MFANTILE PARALYSIS DEATH
Child Dies Near Topeka-AvondaIe
School Is Closed.


The Avonda1e school, just south of
Topeka, was closed this morning by
DR.. c. c. Lull, county physician, fol-
lowing the sudden death due to in
fantile paralysis of the S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. FL
lis. The child died in less than thirty
six hours after developing the first
symptoms. Doctor Lull said the dis
ease was in very malignant form and
that at least half the pupils in the
school were exposed.
This was the first case of infantile
paralysis in the county for some time,
except in very mild form. Doctor
Lull urged that parents of those chill
dren who were exposed watch them
carefully and at the first symptoms
of the disease, such as headache or
cold in the head, call a physician.
The little Ellis girl did not develop
the severe symptoms of the disease
until early this morning and died
about 1890 o'clock. it was stated
Doctor Lull said he thought it best to
close the school temporarily rather
than run the risk of the disease be-
coming epidemic in that section.

sides hit home runs by stealing sec
ond and third bases in the fifth in

Nehf pitched a good game but his
own error in the fourth and an error

The first error of the worlds series

fourth inning today by Frisch of the
Giants, who failed an easy catch.
Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. G.
The crowd howled its welcome as the
Yankees marched across the field
while the band played "Over There"
but a roar went UP when Ruth in bat
ting practice hit a ball far up in the
center field bleaChers and high above
the batting screen. Had the drive
been made in a game it would have
made a record for distance on the

The Shipping Triurnvirate

II went to the ship owners and

ker Of the Shipping Board when an
nouncing the names of the three
chiefs of the boards executive staff,
"and told them they must give US
the men we sought for operators no
matter how great the loss to them"
This method of drafting is as
creditable to Chairman Lasker as to
the men draftaa. 1t shows again
that when a specific call comes to
Americans big enough to succeed in
their own business something in
them leads them to say: Here am.
What's to do?" One of the new men
gives up $250,000 a year and tho
other two make similar sacrifices.

move mountains.

But the chaos is so complete that
perhaps Chairman Lasker is right in
holding that one man could not do
the job alone. At any rate, the
courageous men who are indon1itably
working to create a new great ma
tional industry will do their best to
make the new system work we'll.
They hear with special pleasure that
the trio are to have free hand
that the business Of looking back to
see what is permitted is over.
To liquidate a fleet of 1,470 YES
sells, which must be kept in operation
while being transferred to private
management, is great undertaking.
But it can be successfully done.
If the Shipping Board sticks to it's
avowed policy and pays no attention
to the clamors of special interests
the country will soon have self-sus-
tanning merchant marine in which
many will take proper national pride.

Withhold Bonus, Burn Bonds

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS the Treasury at Washington
is in such bad condition as to make
the paying of the soldiers bonus a
hardship, let me suggest remedy.
/ think the former service men who
feel they have something coming in the
form of back pay would be willing to
forego their claims if others with lust
claims would forget theirs. So let's
all get together and burn our bonds
and eliminate the bonus. That would
make former service men feel that
theirs need not be the only sacrifice.
My salary was 1920 a month at the
time l was drafted and I bought two
$50 bonds while in the service and paid
for them at S. month. Now I am
willing to forget the war and tear up
the bonds.
No doubt an awful wall will 90 I'M
from few, but, for that matter. T
saw quite few soldiers that seemed to
feel that way about going to war. I
think that the majority will agree
there is no special reason why the gov
eminent should hold one obligation so
sacred and eliminate another eouallv
just. T.. q
