FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS SPECULATIVE


 New York, Oct. 1O.-Interesting de- velopments in the financial industrial and commercial markets today found only casual reflection on the stock exchange. Dealings there again consisted mainly of speculative operations in the cheaper rails.
 The strength of important foreign ex- changes, especially the British rate; the nrst increase, although very slight. in bookings shown by the L. S. Steel Corp- oration since July, 1920, and new high re- cords of the year by several of the Lib- erty bond issues were ignored as mar ket factors.
 Other favorable incidents included the years best price for bar silver, another advance in copper metal, based on an ex- tension of the recent inquiry and the substantial improvement noted in bus- mess conditions throughout the west and southwest, with a notable growth of rail- way tonnage.
 Money was the one restraining influence Of the day, call loans rising from per cent at the opening to 1-2 per cent. during the intermediate period and to 6 per cent. in the final hour The advance was occasioned by withdrawal of funds from the market to meet payments tomor- row on maturing certificates of indebted ness dgEIegatlng SZ6,000, 900.
 The more popular foreign oils, especial ly Mexicans, were under constant pres- sure, as were also rails and the custom ary leaders among steels. equipments and motors These and kindred issues were foremost in the wider reaction of thc last hour. Sales amounted to 425,ooO shares.

SPORTING NOES.

George Smith of the Phi1lies, took 6 lickings from the Dodgers, the most defeats any pitcher endured from one team.
 Only one tie game occurred in the National league the past season.
 Babe" Ruth, of the Yankees, set a new American League run scoring re- cord for season by tallying the enor- nous total of IFS runs. Ruth broke his own record, established last year.
 During the campaign just brought to a close 5 triple plays were exe- cuted, one apeice by the Giants, Car dinals, Cubs, Braves and the Dodgers. A rather odd record being that the Giants fell into triple killings in suc- cessive games on Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 on this latter two triple plays were flashed, the Braves staging one on- to the Reds.
 Johnny Tobin, of the Browns went to the bat the most times, 670 in the American League. This creates new major league record for times at bat in season. The former record had

YANKEES WON FIFTH GAME OF SERIES

another, scoreless game to his credit with little better luck in ths first inning.
 As it was, the F1atbush boy wen the honor of being the first boxman to win two games in the present series and of holding the heavy hitting men of the McGraw clan to one solitary run in eighteen innings.
 Bob MeuseI's playing Conspicuous
 Both or the offensive and defensive sides of the Yenkees' play, tho wCr1 of Bob Meusel stood out conspicu- ously. The lanky right fielder hit 300 for the day, with single and dou- ble in four times up.
 It was Meusel's powerful right arm, however, which proved the most tell ing argument of the game outside of the box work of Hoyt. His quick throw to first of Bancroft's single in the second, started a run-up on Bancroft during which George Burns, who had started from first on the hit and run. tried to score, but was caught at the plate as Peckinpaugh shifted the play to Burns and threw to Schang.
 This play saved one tally but at a still more critical point in the game Meusers deadly aim proved the fac tor which broke up a Giant rally and possibly saved the contest for the Yan- kees. It was George Kelly who took chances after singling to right in the eighth with Young on first and one man out. Kelly made gallant dash for second, but MeuseFs throw was | there first. One more Giant then had to be attended to to retire the side and Hoyt induced Emil Meusel tc sent up a high foul, which Wallies got close to the boxes after a long run.

New York, Oct. 10 (By the A. P.)-. A bunt in a baseball game doesn't hold a candle to g home run as a spec tacular feat, but a little bunt which Babe Ruth laid down on the grass at the Polo Grounds today showed how much importance sometimes attaches to the less sensational performance.
 Babes" home run in the ninth in- ming of Sundays game was for the Yankees as team just one more run and nothing more. His bunt in the fourth inning of today's game, the fifth in the 1921 worlds series, proved the turning point of the contest, which was won by the American Leaguers by the score of 3 to 1 over their National League opponents.
 The victory again gave the Yankees the edge in the series, with three vic- tories against two for the Giants.
 Waite Hoyt, the boy wonder from the flatbush section of Brooklyn, pitch ed the Yankees to their third victory In the series, his potent right arm be- ing aided by some great defensive work on the part of his tam-mates. He had been scored upon in the first inning, an error by McNany paving the way 10 the Giants only tally, but tho Yam kees tied the score in the third when McNally was passed by Art Nehf, the Giants crack left handler, went to third on Wally Schang's double, and came home on Elmer Miller'3 sacri- flee fly.
 Ruth's Blunt a Surprise
 Then. to start the fourth for the Yankees, Ruth, who had struck out his first time up. did the unexpect- ed tnns and laid down a bunt. The Giant infield was completely taken by surprise and Ruth landed safely on first The way had been opened for a tally, and Ruth scored it a mo- ment later on Bob Meusels hot double to left, which his brother Emil on the Giant team seemed somewhat slow in handling. This ultimately prov ed 10 be the winning run for the Yam kees. but another was speedily added when McUsel score; on Aaron Wa5d's s sacrifice fly.
 That ended the scoring for the day Hoyt, whc had seemed a bit unsteady in the early innings, settled down be- hind his two run lead and pitched a heady game. He was hit more freely than in his shutout game Of last Thurs day. as the ten safeties for the Nationa Leaguer5 attest, but he woul1 have had

Probable Batteries Today.

New York, Oct. 1O.-The probable batteries for the sixth game of the worlds series tomorrow are Harper or Shawkey and Schang for the Yankees i; Barnes or Toney and Snyder for the Giants.
 My men played good smart game today" said Manager Higgins of the Yankees, and when Ruth opened the door of victory in the fourth inning with his bunt they walked right in and sat down. Ruth's bunt was the turn ing point in the game. We expect to win tomorrow with either Shawkey, Harper or Quinn in the box. If I se- lect Harper and he has good control the Giants will find him just as hard to hit as Hoyt."
 My men did not play the game they were capable of playing" said Manager McGraw of the Giants. We should have scored a flock of runs in the first inning instead of one. The umpiring was bad Morarity called Ruth safe in the fourth inning when he was out by at least a step. Rigler gave us the worst of it when he called Burns out on strikes in the same inning. Weil even up the series tomorrow
 T may send Fred Toney against the Yankees tomorrow. If don't pitch Toney, Barnes will draw the assign ment. Barnes pitched great ball the other day.
 Babe" May Play No More in Series 1 New York. Oct. 1o.-Babe Ruth was ordered not to play in tomorrow's game by Dr. George w. King, who examined | his arm late tonight.
 "Ruth's injured arm" he said. 'fs il such condition that he would be takint chances of further injury, possibly of ; serious nature, if he were to take par in tomorrow's contest The arm il swollen considerably from the work u which it was subjected during the after noon and the wound is draining nor than it had been earlier in the day. I is possible we may have to make stil another incision in the injured member To play while the arm is in it's presen condition would be to invite a spread o l the infection
 When asked whether his order woul prevent Ruth from playing during tn remainder of the series, Dr. King said
 Tt is possible that the injury ma take a turn for the better sooner tha expected or that the series may b strung out for a time. In either even Ruth may be able to get into the gam before the series is over. But as thin stand now his chances of paying ar none too bright"

with a bad leg, the result of an old pulled tendon.
 The Giant fielders gave a fine per. formance on the defense, giving Nehf fine support. Only one error, a drop ped throw by F'risch, marred their re- cord. Nehf held the slugging Yankees to six hits. The Giants inability to hit Hoyt effectively was their fatal handicap. George Kelly led his team at bat, with three hits.

Poles Trying to Patch
Up Silesian Trouble
Through Rebel Leader

Warsaw, May 16-(By The Asso-
ciated Press Extra ordinary meas
ures have been taken by the Polish
government in an endeavor to clear
up Silesian affairs, which have taken
q turn for the worse. owing to Mr..
Lloyd Georges recent speech accus-
ing Poland of backing the movement
which brought about the uprising.
All efforts TO communicate with
Adelbert Korfanty, leader OF the
Polish insurgents, having failed.
Premier Witos himself, accompanied
by Minister of Interior Skulski, pro-
ceeded to Sosnowice, just east of the
Silesian frontier, from which place
they are trying to communicate with
korfanty to induce him to end the
insurrection, and permit affairs to
take their natural course toward a
peaceful settlement.
The government asserts that it
has had no communication with
korfanty since the Instruction be-
gan.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech is bit
terly criticized by the Warsaw press.
which interprets it as virtual in
vitation to German troops to invade
the disputed districts. The press
considers England's attitude as un-
fair to the young republic. which, it
says, has been handicapped by Great
Britain from the beginning. The
newspapers strongly oppose any
move which might bring Poland even
to the brink of war with Germany.

B. & 0. Head Sees
Govt. Ownership
of Rails Coming

Washington, May 16.--Private own
ership in the United States can not
continue if railroad operating costs
when fair return on capital is consid-
cred, continue to exceed revenues, Dan
iel Willard, president of the Balti-
more & ohio, testified today before
Senate investigating committee.
At the same time Mr.. Willard said
the railroad situation. insofar as de-
preston and lack of earnings were
concerned, differed only in degree"
from that now being encountered in
other industries. General economic
conditions and the difficulties cncoun-
tered in federal wartime operation
of the carriers. he added. were in his
opinion largely responsible Cor pres
ent difficulties. and he expressed con-
fidence that private ownership would
justify itself financially and work out
under present law and government poll
icy.
Chairman Cummins> of the Senate
committee had previously expressed
the opinion that the railroads can
not last if 1920 returns from oper-
alton are to continue. an opinion
agreed in by julius kruttschntt,
chairman of the Southern Pacific
board, the first witness heard.

st9tement, Chairman Benson an
nouncad tonight that the shipping
board Was entirely satified" with the
record OF sailings last week and de-
clared that 1.-The achievement of OBJ
tanning the requisite number of men

Engineers he said, continue to re-
port for duty and sailors and firemen
have been available in numbers, while
the percentage of Americans is in ex-
cess of the percentage prior to May I,
when the wage cut was made effec-
tive.
1.-The feet corporation, he said,
does not anticipate a declaration
that an emergency exists because
such action is not necessary in the
present situation. All ports report
that the situation is we'll in land.
Information has just been receiv-
