MANY WILL SERVE
Kansans Volunteer To Go to
Coal Fields This Winter.
No New Policies Announced Re.
garding Strike Situation.

Many Kansans have volunteered TO
go to the coal fields this winter if the
state decides to again take over the
1n:n:ng properties. Announcement
that engineers, steam shovel workers
and experienced pit m:ners-uninn
ara n-union-had offered 20 work
1or the state was made today by Gov
ernor Allen. The governor is conf
dent that if state operation of the
mines should become necessary there
Will De as many volunteers as in 1913.
NO new policies were announced
from state departments today regard
ing the strike situation. Industrial
court judges spent the entire morning
IN conference behind closed doors
Press representatives were ernDhat-
lcally advised that there was no state
ment from the court at this time, and
that the court did not appreciate in
terruption.
None of the court judges would COM
ment on the conference following ad-
Journment. 1t was reported that w.
L. Huggins, presiding judge of the
court, was criticised because of his
statement of Thursday to the effect
that the state should do something in
connection with the strike trouble.
Court judges, tho, would not discuss
the matter. They frankly admitted
that the lid had been placed on the
conference attendants and that neither
action of the conference nor future
policies were to be outlined.
Governor Declines To Be Quoted.
Governor Aliens announcement that
he had received offers of service in
operating the mines was the first df-
rect intimation that the state consid-
cred again taking over the mine prop
critics. The governor declined, how
er, to be quoted as to the course which
he now has in mind. For several days,
tho, he has indicated that a new pro-
gram was soon to be announced.
In state house circles it is known
that many letters have reached the
governor in the last few days touch
ing on the strike trouble. Many of
these letters are reported to have been
; due to criticism by Judge Higgins and
William Allen White regarding state
inactivity. The situation took a more
complex aspect today when a repre-
sentative of an eastern paper is said
to have asked the governor for state
ment regarding the states failure to
proceed to break the strike.
Governor Allen said the states new
program would be put in operation
eat the right time" He said he was
not ready to announce his plans but
would make them public later. He ex-
pressed pleasure because Of offers of
help from experienced miners. shovel
men and engineers and said he had
received many MESA ges from repre-
sentatives of union labor expressing
confidene in the industrial court act
and its ability to meet the present sit
uation.

SEVENTH WAS COMMANDMENT
Four American Champ Pitchers
Used in TOday's Game.
Barnes, With Aid of Sluggers,
Won TOney's Game.

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct L
The Giants took the third game of the
worlds series here this afternoon by
a 1S to 5 score. after batting three
Yankee pitchers out of the box. The
slugging match which characterized
the game was started in the third in
ming. when each team scored four
runs and both Toney and shawkey
were pulled off the mound.
1t was in the seventh inning, how
ever that the Giants got in their
heavy sIugging, making eight runs and
sending two more Yankee pitchers TO
the bench. Barnes, who finished the
game for Toney, pitched a heady
game but the batsmen of both teams
were reused and it was hitting day"
so the hit column of the box score
does not tell the pitchers story.
The Yankees attempted to come
back in the eighth inning, but it was
too late. Ruth singled and Fewster
was scored when Ward singled to CEN
ter. The Giants scored again when
NJ eQSel after SlGdlAllG lAAA4 - was
brought in by Snyder's single.
The series now stands two to one in
favor of the Yankees, Higgins men
having taken the first two games
straight by to scores. The heavy
bombardment of today by McGraws S
men sending the choicest of the Yank
hurler staff to the bench has boosted
the stock of the Giants and the betting
odds which had stood at 3 to 1 in favor
of the Yanks before the game this af-
ternoon, began to waver and are set
Ting to the even mGney status rapidly.
The box score tells the story. Any
fan will see that with a total of
twenty eight base hits and the error
column vacant. it was a battle be-
tween the hurlers and the batters
with the batters getting the best of it
by long odds. The Giants scored a
total of twenty hits and the Yanks
were given credit for but eight. The
Yanks had been given credit for hav-
ing the heaviest hitting team and with
that to go on, it would seem that the
Giant pitcher. Barnes, who relieved
Toney, must have the greater part of
the credit for winning the game for
McGraw
Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. L.
The Giants and Yanks are engaged in
a bOmbRFdment today. Each team
has knocked the pitcher who started
the game for its opponents out of the
box.
