N. Y. Giants Worlds Baseball

After one OF the hardest fought
worlds series ever played, the New
York Giants of the National League
finally defeated the New York Amer
leans, in the eighth game Of the nine
game series, winning five out of the
eight. The Yankees took the first two
games by close scores; then the Giants
evened the series by winning two in
a row. The Yanks won the fifth
game and then the Giants took three
straight.
Hoyt, the Yankees youthful pitcher
is only % years old, but outpitched
all the veterans of either club, win
ming two games and losing the last
game today, l to 0. An error in the
first allowed the Giants to score.
Hoyt, is by far the pitching hero of
the series, and had his teammates
played errorless ball, he would prob
ably have won his third game.
Babe Ruth, the champion home-run
hitter of the world, was injured in
a game recently and was forced to
leave the game, playing in but six
games of the series. He has an abb
cess on his arm and was in great
pain in the last two games. He made
one home run, and struck out nine
times.
The Giants made the best showing,
playing their best ball in the pinches.
1t is the first worlds series the
Giants have won since 1905, although
they have been contenders several
times.
. Record crowds were at all the games
and new attendance record was
made. Each winning player will get
between $1,000 and $4,000 and each
losing player in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. 1t is a rather fair weeks
wages.
The fans of New York at least have
the satisfaction Of knowing that New
York has worlds champion team.

St. Paul WOman
Shares Big Estate
The Alleged Daughter of Churchs
Ferry Banker to Receive
$33,000.

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. l1.-Mrs.
Bertha Abbey Ross of st. Paul, will
receive about $4,000 Of the estate of
Erick Lysne, Churchs Ferry banker
and farmer, according to settlement
filed yesterday with County Judge
II. w. Swenson. The settlement gives
Mrs. Ross 80 per cent of Lysne's es-
tate, which amounts to $4,000.
Mrs. Ross q short time ago petition
ed for q share of the estate on the
ground that she is daughter of the
dead banker, claiming that she was
born in Norway, although her mother
and Lysne never married. She al
legged in her petition that Lysne and
her mother were childhood sweet
hearts in Loerdale, Norway, but that
she was born before a marriage cere-
mony was performed and later Lysne
refused to marry her mother, but
came to America.
Come to America
The mother and daughter followed
him to this country, locating him in
North Dakota. The first meeting was
in Larimore, where, according to Mrs.
Ross petition, he acknowledged he1
as his daughter, and gave her mother
some money. Mrs. Ross and hel
mother then went to St. Paul, where
the former has since resided. When
Lysne died in California few years
ago she asserted herself as his daugh-
ter and sought to get share of the
estate. Lysne married while he was
in this country, but had no other
children, and had contributed nothing
further. Mrs. Ross alleged, to hel
or her mothers living.
When the estate came up for set
tlement-Lysne died intestate-Mrs
Ross claim that she was the bank
er's daughter caused furore here
The estate was to have been divided
among children of dead brothers.

With her father her guinea nig, her

The public will be busy seeing her

wasn't long before she became weary
and frankly said so. she said she was
willing to leave the placing entirely to
others and that if they didn't mind
she thought she'd go out and enjoy
the companionship Of some Of her girl
playmates.
There are lots Of things for her to
see besides her own drawings, any
how. Fourteen-ye -year-oid Pamela is on
her first visit here since she was three.

Flower Show Gives
Touch of Summer
To Grand Palace
s'Harding Blue'' Sweetpea
and White Amaryllis Are
Among the New Blooms;
First Prizes Awarded

Synthetic milk is still in the future,
but the synthetic summer already is
assembled. With the opening of the
Flower Show at tho Grand Central
Palace yesterday flower lovers found
all the elements Of a perfect summer,
from the crocus dimpling on :he lawn
to tho heavy perfume of lilac hedge
and the gorgeousness Of rose garden
in July.
Popplcs nodded over beds OF candy
tuft with a grace that suggested June
sunshine rather than the mathematical
thermometer of greenhouse and it
was hard to believe that the swcetpeas
1uttering against the ccdars had been
set UP by the dozen, each in it's little
red flower pot.
Quantity production does not inter
ferc with the quality of flowers, how
ever. Hyacinth stalks as big is milk
bottles were ranged by the dozen in
fragrant rows of purple and rose,
tulips by the gross showed many new
and dazzling shades, and the judges
declared that never had they seen such
Il bewidering mass Of prize winning
material.
Among the new blossoms special at
toHtlon was paId 10 the HafdlnG
blue" swcetpea, and the new all white
amaryllis, named for Mrs. Harding.
Many new exhibits add to the interest
of the show; such as the city back
yard before and after its owners take
garden lessons, the model window box,
the bird baths, and the formal garden
in which visitors may wander at will
shifting the roses overhead and pok-
ing inquisitive fingers into the flower
pots of the model greenhouse,
The first prize awarded yesterday
was the sweepstakes of $500, which
went to John Schepers, for his dis
play covering 1000 square feet, for
NAL garden with tulips and hyacinths
grouped around a pool, presided over
by a green statue in q cedar hedge.
Among the prize winners for single
exhibits were Mrs. Harry Payne Whit

Best in Ensemble Work

The feature of the piano and violin

playing of these two admirable artists.
The program consisted entirely of
works by the three B's--Brahms' S
sonata for piano and violin in D
minor, Bach's chaconne for violin
alone, Beethoven's sonata for piano,
Op. 10 in d major and the same com
poser's sonata for piano and violin,

merits of pianist and violinist are too
we'll known to call for extended com

than in their performance of the
