FANS AFTER GAME
Mob Scenes Enacted When the
Players Attempt to Make
Dash From Clubhouse
PHIL DOUGLAS CORNERED

New York, Oct. 10.--Next to losing n
ball game, the players in this World
Series hate worst OF all to face the
crowd Of shouting fans that gather
daily outside their club houses. They
would Ike to dodge out rear door to
the streets and sneak home by alley
routes. But the rub Is that there Is
only one exit from each club house.
Gee, look at that crowd out there.
exclaimed modest Frank Frisch yester-
day as he peeped out Of the Giants
stronghold.
'Oh. go on out; what are you afraid
Off" yelled Phil Douglas.
Frisch hesitated and then made a
wild dash for freedom. He made It
only after his clothes had nearly been
torn off him.
A minute later Douglas looked out .
He turned back to wait until the crowd
became thinner. But the crowd re-
fused to disperse, despite the efforts Of
a score Of private policemen.
"Oh. 90 ahead" smiled Burns to
Douglas. Shuff!in' Phil waited until
Burns was ready and they made a hur-
ried exit together. One fan insisted
that the victorious pitcher autograph q
score card. With the crowd around
him, Douglas signature rescmbled n

may look for one at any time now
Ruth's Presence Helps
Ruth's injured arm did not keep him
from playing and making his first home
run OF the series yesterday, and he Is
almost certain to play as long as he Is
needed. The presence of the, Babe in
me game means as much to the Yankees
IN a psychological sense as 1t does in
any other way. He is in there with bis
head and his reputation even when his
arms are weak.
Snyder's work behind the bat f4r the
Giants has been impressive in the last
two games. He appeared weak In the
opening contest. but seems to have
found himself again, both behind the
pate and at bat. Schang, mis- Yankee
opponent, still Is going at high speed
His long hits in yesterdays game scored
Il. first Yankee run and 1t looked like
winner until Emil Meuse' tore into
one Of Mays floaters for triple In the
eighth.
While yesterdays game lacked many
Of the sensational thrills that has
marked the others, 1t was an interest
ing one to watch. There was Mays,
hurling hitless ball for five innings, and
Phil Douglas keeping his hits fairly fell
scattered in the meantime. In those five
innings he forced the Giants to roll easy
taps to the infielders, oIly three ba Is
going to the outfield. Douglas spit
balls were earning him strike outs and
both teams were fielding In good form.
First Yankee Error
Peckinpaugh made the first error of
The series for the Yankees in the third
inning when he lost Snydcr's grass
cutter on bad bound. peck's error
was d", N measure to McNally's un-
mcceSSful attempt to spear the ball.
Aaron Ward carried on his perfect
work at second for the Yankees, accept
Ing nine chances without an error.
Ruth's homer in the ninth sailed long
and true to the right-fi field bleachers and
was the one bright spot in the fading
hopes Of the Yankee rooters. The Babe s

Il enabled Babc to realize an ambition,

BOY SCOUTS PLANNING
BIC HIKE ON JUNE s
Forty-Eight Youngsters Will Take
Ten Days Trip to Pecos Valley
Recruiting is Lively.

Forty eight healthy youngsters,
members of the local troop of Boy
Scouts, are anxiously watching the
calendar and waiting for June 9Th,
for that is the date set for the first
scout hike. The scene of the camp
will be at Blue Springs on the Black
river in the Guadalupe mountains
about twenty miles from Carlsbad.
And it isn't going to be a hike,
either, for the party will go by train
and in motor cars.
The Boy Scout movement was re-
with Rev. c. d. Poston, who is now
vived in Clovis a short time ago
scoutnaster of the organization. In
a short time the quota of 32 required
for troop was reached and the
boys are still joining. The over
sized troop has now reached as and
there are a number of boys who are
anxious to join.
Mr.. Poston discussed the matter
at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis
Club Wednesday and urged that body
to encourage another scoutmaster to
take up the work. II this can be done
another troop will be organized, and
both troops will be recruited up to the
regular strength of 32.
Things have been humming in the
scout headquarters this week accord
ing to Mr.. Poston. Four regular meet
ings were held this week, and the boys
will be kept busy until the date Of the
trip.

LABOR SITUATION
STILL UNSETTLED
Negotiations Have Been Carried on
Peacefully. No Violence
Has Been INDUCED In.

Clovis has been in an excited mood
for the past few days as the result of
a badly mixed up sqnabble over wages
paid the men on the paving construc-
ton work.
The trouble dates back several
weeks, when most of the men on the
grading crews walked out, demanding
a raise in pay from 35 to so cents
per hour
Things dragged along until last
Saturday when delegation of union
men from the shops marched through
the streets and held series of con-
ferences regarding the attitude Of the
mayor and others on the wage situa-
ton.
Wednesday afternoon a delegation
Of laboring men demanded that the
workers on the surfacing crew on east
Munroe Avenue walk out. They re-
fused, and were given until 7;05 a.
m. today to make up their minds.
Last night sixty citizens of Clovis
and Curry County met at the court
house, and without taking a stand
one way or the other on the wage
problem, expressed the determination
that law and order must be main
tanned.
So far negotiations have been car
ried on peaceably and no violence
has been offered.
A committee consisting Of Carl
Hatch, Frank Dice, VIM. Holding
hausn, A. B. Austin and J. r. Den
hof was appointed to confer with the
