victory in the series, his strong right

McNally paving the way TO the
Giants only tally, but the Yankees
tied the score in the third when Mike
McNally was passed by Art Nehf, the
Giants twirler. went to third on Wall
ly Schang's double, and came home
on Elmer Miller's sacrifice fly.
Then, to start the fourth for the
Yankees, Ruth. who had struck out
his first time up. did the unexpected
and laid down bunt.
The Giant infied was taken COM
pletely by surprise and Ruth landed
safely on first. The way had been
opened for a tally. and Ruth scored
mQment later on Bob" Meusers hot
double to left, which his brother Emil
seemed somewhat slow in handling

was hit more freely than in his shut

show. but he would have had another
scoreless game to his credit with a
little better luck in the first inning.

London, Oct. 10-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The prime minister
and other representatives of the
British government and the dele
gates of the Dali Eireann will face
each other across the conference
table in the cabinet room at No. 10
Downing street, the premier's official
residence, at II o'clock tomorrow
morning.
1t is understood that the proce-
durc favored in a speech of welcome
by the prime minister, after which
he will outline the methods the gov
eminent proposes for dealing with
the various phases of the question.
Arthur Griffith, the Sim Fein leader,
is expected to reply.
The cabinet is said to have dis
cussed today the possibility of eX-
tending the scope Of the conference
anG inviting Ulster to send dele
gates. This is q matter for the prime
minister to decide, as the Sim Fein
delegates are here only as the
spokesman Of those they represent,
but the Sim Fein has not assented
10 any joint conference and it is de-
clared would object strongly.
The Irish delegates would, how
ever, they say, make great cinces-
sions to secure a united Ireland--a
possibility alluded to in the king s
speech at Belfast. Mr.. De Valera
is believed to have plan of local self
government for Ulster within an
Irish state more attractive financial
ly and otherwise to the northeast
btlnn it's present status, and it is
probable that this will Abe put for
ward to the conference. Should
this he the case, the Ulster premier
may nave to be consulted about it.
The real cruX, as stated by an
official today, is not finance nor the
extent of listers local powers, but
necessary severance of Ulster from
the imperial parliament, where it
now has representation it desires to
maintain.
The Sim Fein, on the other hand
desires no representation In the i'm
periai parliament and IL and when
Il accepts a. place in the British COM
monwcalth. it desires no closer affi-
liation than Canada and the other
dom ipions. The Sim Feiners declare
they are bound to set forth Irela nd s
claim for complete separation which
they have pointed out, is their man
late from their constituents. Any
recession from that position will be
made at price bringing in Ulster.
and the Ulster question thus it is OK
pected to assume importance from
the outset and may again prove the
stumbling block to a settlement
The British delegation includes
three liberals, David Lloyd George,
WINSTON Spencer Churchill and Sir
Hamar Greenwood. all of whom took
part in framing Mr.. Asquith's home
rule bill, which Austen Chamberlain,
