demnity is paid. Germany has
ruined France; she started the war
and she must pay for the injury"
But can you kill the goose that
lays the golden egg-can you ex-
pect her to pay If she is taxed so
heavily that her industry is de-
pressed to extinction?" Mrs. French
was asked. In reply, Mrs. French
urged that France take possession
of German industry IL the money
was not forthcoming.
of course, the situation is "a very
complicated one and nothing may
be foreseen. 1t is possible that

further wars is also very apparent
1t is a bad situation"

LANDS RECOMMENDS SEVEN GAME SERIES INSTEAD OF NINE

New York, Oct. 13-Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commis- sioner of organized baseball, in a state ment tonight said that he would re- commend that seven game series, instead of nine, be played next season. It has been a very great series" the statement said. Tn every department of the game the highest skill was ex- hibited and I congratulate every play CT on having maintained the best ua- ditions of this great annual event
 T deem it appropriate at this time to announce that at the mid winter joint session of the two major leagues the commission will offer for adoption 8 proposal that the world series be limited to seven games. This will be done in the belief that it is very gen orally accepted that the ideal world s championship is decided by the win ming four games as was the rule pri- or to 1919. A five game series, the championship to be awarded the club winning three victories, is too short for a fair test. On the other hand, the present lengthy series overtaxes the patience of the public.
 Beyond this, the commissioner feels very strongly that there is real men, zee to professional baseball from pub lie reaction against financia; returns running into the figures expressed by the receipts of the series just closed.
 Obviously, lower admission prices (which are now within the commis- sioners controD and a shorter series being more in harmony with the high est plane of sportsmanship. will better sustain the public's confidence which the game demands and must deserve
 Tt is the commissioner conviction that the public is happy to support professional baseball, both enthusias- tically and financially, provided the public love of the great sport be the inspiration of owners and players alike.
 of course" the statement said, the probabilities. are the present situation would not arise again, even under the

 OF SERIES FROM COLONIES

Baltimore, Oct. 13.-Baltimore went to the front this afternoon in it's post-season series with Louisville by winning the fifth game, 1e to ,, the series now standing t1ree to two In favor of the Orioles. Bunching it's hits, the International league champions had rather easy sailing toward the latter part of the game.
 Nick Cu1lop, the star left handler of the Louisville squad, was easy for the Orioles and they drove him from the mound in the fourth. Sanders. who re- Iieved him pitched only part of an in ming and then gave way to a pinch hit ter. Ernie Nook, another southpaw, af- ter a short while went the same route as his fellow left handler Wright finished in fair style.
 Ogden's victory this afternoon was his third of the series.
 Louisville went into the lead in the third, only to see the Orioles hop to the front in the fourth. The Coionels, how ever, came right back in the fifth and Enotted the count The sixth was a massacre and from then on it was mere ly a matter of playing it out.

 Yankees Final Frame
 The game. won by the Giants in the first inning, was probably saved for them in the ninth by brilliant fielding performance.
 One Yankee had been retired in the final frame. This one was Babe" Ruth again in uniform but confining his activities heretofore in the game to the coaching lines. The Yankee fans, who had been for eight innings watching that one lonely tally Of the Giants loom larger and larger, picked up hope and cheered wildly as the "Bambino" stepped to the plate for Wally Pipp. The home run king made a valiant try, but his injured arm had taken the power from his swing and the best he could do with Nehf's pug zling delivery was to ground weakly to Kelly.
 Aaron Ward was more fortunate. He waited out Nehf, who had been some- what wild for several innings, and finally walked.
 Prank Baker, again in the lineup in place of the injured McNally, came next. with the count , to 2 he met one Of Nehfs offerings squarely. l. shot towards right field, sl1imming the ground far to the left of John Rawlings The rRp looked like q sure nit, and with Ward logging 1t for first 1t pro- missed to put the Yankees in a favoga- blc scoring petition if 1t got by.

 But t d!d not pass. Throwing him. seil at The skisnminG sphere, Rawli. gs reacheS out and cluag to it with his left hand. Rolling over and transfer ring the ball to his right hand Raw lings made the throw to Kelly at first while still on the ground, getting Bak- CT by several feet.
 It was then Kelly's turn, and with q lightning like and accurate throw ne shot the ball across tna diamond into the hands o1 third bas9m9n Frank Frisch. A cloud of dust flew up over third as Ward slid into the bag. From the midst of it Umpire Quigley's form emerged, his right arm flung forth motioning the runner out. The double play had been completed. the third : Yankee of the inning had been retired the game was over, and the Giants had won it and the worlds champion ship.
 Scored Run With Aid of Hit The Giants winning run in the first was scored without the aid of a hit With Burns disposed of at first as Baker fielded his grounder to Pipp Bancroft walked on five pitched balls | He held first while Frisch was foul. ing out TO Pipp and went to second as Hoyt, with the count two and three walked Young. There was a sharp D. O. test by Hoyt on the fourth ball, witt which the young twirIer insisted he had cut the plate.

GIANTS PLAYERS EACH RECEIVE
 APPROXIMATELY $5,s25

New York, Oct. Is (By the A. P.)-, The 1921 world series, ended today, set new financial and attendance re- cords The total paid attendance for .he eight games reached s900,23S, con rfbuted by 269.976 spectators.
 This was $177, 819 more than the best previous gate collected during the 1919 series between Cincinnati and Chicago when $722,414 was paid by the fans of the two cities during the eight games of that year. The attendance in the series just closed was also 18,075 greater than the eight gather ings which witnessed the memo able Giants Boston American play of 1912 when the total count registered 251,- 90l, which has stood as a record for nine years.
 As a result of the enormous gate receipts all those who participated in the sharing of the funds will receive more than any of their predecessors in similar positions. The Giant playe.s, as winners. collect 50 per cent of 75 per cent of the players share of the receipts for the first five games am- bunting to s1S1, ,635 which, divided an- ong some 25 eligible men, gives ap- proximately s5.265 to each. The Yan- kees 40 per cent share as losers am- ounted to $87, ,75667 and under the same system of division will give the players of the defeated club about &3.510 each. Under the plan of distributing twen- ty-five per cent, among the club play CTS finishing second and third in both major leagues, the Cleveland Ameri- cans and the Pittsburgh Nationals will divide S43,87S.34 equally while the tive St. Louis teams, as third place clubs share S29. .952.22.
 The advisory board. which succeeded the National commission in the re- organization of professional baseball
 will take as its fifteen per cent share 1 $135, ,03495.
 The club owners share will amount
 to $472, ,675.S2. The owners of the two
 local clubs, however, are not permit
 ted to retain and divide equally the close to half million dollars Whict | appear at first sight to be theirs. Tht
 rules governing the financial affairs o1
 the world series specifically provide that fifty per cent of each clubs share for the first seven games shall b' paid into their respective league trea' 1 suries and that in case an eighth game
 is necessary as was the case today
 then seventy five per cent of the club'i
 share of receipts for that game mus l go to the league treasuries.

 Klio, driven by Pitman, also made it a double on the meeting when she captured the 2.17 trot a spit heat affair. after losing the first heat to Alma Todd
 The other two races on the program, the two year old trot and the 2.09 pace, were easy for Peter Earl and Roger c. botb taking first money in straight heats.
 The judges declared off all bets on the 2.17 trct following the finish in the last heat during which Palin handling the reins on Alma Todd did not appear to put up very strong finish. This action. however, did not affect the division Of the purse, Klio being given first money.
