WORLDS SERIES
NEW YORK AFFAIR
Giants and Yankees Needed
Almost Closing Games to

The 1921 rennant race is over, and
Tor the first time in 10 years, two
clubs in one>city win battle for the
worlds series. for the first time II viii
he held I'm one Eastern city. IL was in
1906 that the two Chicago teams won
the pcnnantnn their respective leagues
and since that time the championship
has been pretty we'll divided between
the East and the West, with perhaps q
pseponderance toward this section OF
the country. AS a whole, the race
that ended with yesterdays games, has
been a series of disappointments. 1t
was not until the last month or the
season that the race developed much
of a fight. and then two clubs in either
league had the struggle practically to
themselves. There was little doubt
from the start that Cleveland and New
York were the strongest combinations
IN the American League. and Pitts
burg looked the class in the National.
As events turned out the dope ran true

ganization. but in the older the early
promises got a bad setback by the
rush of the re-organized Giants. II
was generally conceded that the
Giants prospects We're not particu-
larry bright during the early months
OF the season. but judicious trades and
purchases gave the club a new lease
OF life and when the strain of acting

Pirates, the Giants were in the posi-
tion of being able TO come through.
Similarly the Yankees, while regarded

teams seldom win pennants, and for
that reason the Yankees chances
were hardly given much considera-

home-stretch that the veterans had
the necessary sand. though their hold
ON the flag was not made secure until
Saturday. On Thursday the Giants
clinched the pennant, though they
were idle. st. Louis performing the
trick by twice beating Pittsburg. All
four clubs have kept fans guessing for
a month or more and now that the
strain is over speculation will be rife

.LYNCHERS FO|LED BY
WOMAN'S ATTORNEY
Murder Suspects Saved From
Mob by Courage Of Virginia
Prosecutor.

Fredericksburg Va. Oct 3.-Quick
and determined action by County At
torney Wat RI. Mayo early yesterday
morning probably prevented the
| lynching of Miss Sarah Il. Knox and
D. Eastlake. both charged with the
murder Of Mrs. Eastiake at Colonial
Beach. Friday The prisoners have
been removed from the Westmoreland
county Jail to Fredericksburg.
/ At Colonial Beach Saturday mid
night, Mr.. Mayo was informed by po-
/ lice officials Of proposed attempt BY
/ n mob to remove the two prisoners and
"do justice without trial" II was said
the lynchlng party was already on
tie road to Montross, the county seat.
The county attorney Immediately
procured a motor car, and at 2
o'clock arrived in Montrose, where
everything was quiet. There were
only two prisoners in the little red
brick Jail and Warden Walker was
asleep. He admitted 20 Mr.. Mayo that
he was in no position TO offer resist
ance to a mob, and the sheriff was out
Of town. f,
Mr.. Mayo then took the keys to the
jail, rounded up dozen armed men,
who under the command Of i. 3.
Lewis, war veteran, wounded in the
Argonne, were scattered TO various
parts Of the Jail. Within a few min
utes a number Of automobiles Op-
preached, focusing their lights on the
buiIding. whereupon Mr.. Mayo quietly
went to the nearest and asked the men
in it what they were doing.
Were just out for ride" one re-
piled lamely.
"My advice to you boys is 10 20
home before something happens" Mr.
Mayo replied I'm here and I'm go
ing to stay here"
And with only few feeble NUT
terings the men turned their cars and
left.
Later Sheriff Griffith returned tc
IMontross and decided it was not a
safe place to keep his prisoners. AS
they were being taken away, Miss
Knox said:
I'VE had a terrible night. thought
they would storm the Jail any minute
and I haven't slept a wink since
heard them"
Miss Knox declared that Eastlake
was innocent and that she would dc
everything she could to clear him. II
spite Of her efforts to cheer him. h'
was pale and trembled violently.
Miss Knox is said to have admitted
she "shadowed" the Eastlake bunga

! she was the first to report the crime
y having found the body. The Prose

on her person which it is said WI

NEWARK EASY FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
Local Team Opened Season
With Victory of
20 to o.

The High School football team open
ed its season on Baynard Field on
Saturday afternoon by defeating New
ark High by the score OF 20 to O.. Both
teams deserve credit, especially the
Newark players for their bard and
earnest work. The local boys perform
ed well and their line plunging was a
feature Of the game, Stout opening
several good holes in Newarlxs line.
Captain Norm" White was Will
mington's best ground gamer and
tackler for the day. He made two Of
the three touchdowns, the other one
goint TO Brit" Donaldson. The e
two men, together with Herb" White,
who made several long runs, includ-
ing one of As yards, and Henning, of
Newark, were the men of the day, Civ
ing the rooters plenty of excitement.
"Bill" Bowe, a new player with the
Wilmington High varsity, is a prom
ising man and should develop into a
valuable man. The local roOters were
very weak considering the efforts that
Jack" Gallagher and his assistants
put into their work. Coach Ashton
used his scrubs in the second and
fourth periods and during these two
quarters a close game was played by
both teams. The lineup:

Considerably outweighed, the Uni

points.
Delaware's entire backfield showed

worthwhile gains were around ends as
the line could not open any holes in
the opposing defense. In the forward
passing Delaware tried long, high
forwards. a style entirely opposite TO
their opponents. They tried for %
and 30-yard forwards, but always the
receivers were too well covered To
have chance. McDonald's punting
was the equal of any seen on Frazer
