GOTHAM TO IA VE 1927
 WORLD SERIES ALL BY
 ITSELF, AS TANKS WIN

Nv York, October 1.-New York is going to have the world series all to itself this year. The Yankees made that certain today when they won the American league championship by pushing the Philadelphia Athletics deeper into the cellar in the first game of their double header. The Giants assured themselves of the National league pennant earlier in the week.
 Tonight the argumentatiye metro poltan fan is looking for the Illinois brother who always brought into ev- cry discussion of the relative merits of Chicago and New York the fact that Chicago was the only place good enough to have whole worlds se- res in it's own backyard. This hap opened in 1906 when the White Sox won out in the American league race and the Cubs finished first in the Na- tional
 The entire world series this year will not only be played in one town, but for the first time In history, the classic will not even require shift of scene. The whole thing from the throwing of the first ball by some notable to the final out will take place at the Polo Grounds.
 The victory of the Yankees this season just went to show that if one doesn't succeed at first, it pays to try, try again. This wasn't the first year the Yankees were pennant con tenders. Many stars of by-gone cam paigns belong to the club and they occasionally got so close to the pen nant they could almost hear it flut- ter, but always something went wrong in the last minute. The Yankees finished second in 1904, 1906 and 1910 and were placed third both in 1910 and 1920. In other years they were never higher than fourth
 The club hitched it's wagon to whole constellation of stars last year, but both Cleveland and Chicago o passed ahead in the closing days or the drive. This season almost the same pack carried the New Yorks to victory.

 Giant Huriers Best But in pitching the Giants have the advantage inasmuch as their moundsmen just now are in the finest fettle of the year, whereas the Yankee regulars are almost worn
 out The Yankee pitchers had such a tough time of it through the last three weeks of the campaign that 1t took the edge off most of them and wearied their arms to a point where it seems impossible for complete re- cuperation by october 5. And now we come to management and strategy.
 | Huggins is a good manager, despite what the knockers say, He has han dled a temperamental team in clever style The fact that he lifted the out fit to the pennant crest, after it fal- tered and flivvered and travelled in eccentric fashion for lengthy periods, is a testimonial to his leadership. McGraw Is Best But great as Huggins may be, he must bow to McGraw in the matter of management McGraw Is one or
 the greatest leaders of all time; man who has again and again taken mediocre material and welded 1t into
 a championship aggregation. It's the
 brain of John McGraw. dominating
 his team, which has won for it times
 without number-just when 1t seemed
 that victory was impossible.
 And that same clever brain will
 be at work through every inning of every game of the world series ot
 1921 It's the one vital something
 which the Giants will have that should put them over the top--a win
 ner.
 It won't be easy for the Giants to
 win Those Tanks are rather guar
 relsome folks and they'll fight to the
 finish But it would seem, looking
 at things from this angle, that they
 must, in the end, go down to defeat
 before the attak of the outfit or Giants which already have earned for
 themselves undying fame for thelr gameness and their superlative
 fighting spirit.

Giants and the Tanks should be a thriller--with the Giants as ultimate winners.
 It's my thought that the team of John McGraw has a pitching staff at least slightly better than that of the and that this advantage will help materially in deciding the series.
 Of course, if Babe Ruth tears loose in the old-fashioned way and smashes home runs here and there and every where, he alone may go a lengthy way toward winning the blue ribbon classic for his team. But I don't think that Ruth, batting against the Giant stars, who will be geared up to their mightiest endeavor, is going to find the "pickings" as soft as he did through. the regular American league season,

PRIEST ARRESTED
IN BOND ROBBERY
Rev. Anthony Gorek Of New
Chicago, Ind, Said to Have
Confessed.

Special Despatch to THE NEW ycxh tsTaAlD.
CHICAGO. May 12.-The Rev Anthony
Gorek, pastor of the Assumption Roman
Catholic Church Of New Chicago, laA.
was arrested by United States agents
to-day in the Federal Building, where
he had been summoned TO explaia the
presence of 100000 worth of Liberty
bonds and coupons found in cans con-
cealed in the coal shed adjoining the
parsonage.
The bonds are said to bear the same
serial numbers as those taken in the
81, ,000, 900 mail robbery in Toledo Feb
ruary IL Following his arrest the priest
was taken TO the office of Capt. Thomas
J. Porter. head of the Chicago secret
service bureau, where he was questioned
for several hours.
Suspicion was first directed against
the Rev. Mr.. Gorek when it was learned
he had cashed many Liberty bond
coupons at banks in Chicago and Ham
mond. The agents made secret search
OF the church, the parsonage and out
lying buildings, finally locating the
100000 worth concealed in boxes and
tin cans in the coal shed. 1t Is stated
that several thousand dollars worth of
Federal Reserve Bank notes. part of the
Toledo loot, may be buried near the
church.
Father Gorek is said to have made
this statement to the postal inspector:

Englewood station in Chicago some time

They were hungr~, my people-men,

while, day after day, the thought was
with me constantly that there, hidden
in my own house. was a fortune In
Liberty bonds. enough to assuage all
their sufferings. 1t was too much, and
so / started to cash some of the
coupons.
Miss Urbatis was arrested some time
ago and taken to Toledo, where she was
released on her own recognizance. She
disappeared and efforts to find her are
being made again. Gorek was held in
bonds of $4,000.
The arrest of Father Gorek is the
second arrest of a clergyman In connec-
ton with mail robberiese which occurred
within six weeks of each other. Guy
