New York, Oct. 10.--Jawn McGraw
and Miller Higgins were on even
terms this morning, following the
to victory by the Giants yesterday
over the Yanks in the fourth game
of the world series.
Many of the alleged experts wers
figuring that the National leaguers
had the edge on the Americans for
the reason that Carl Mays the hurl-
ing ace Of the weird delivery was
beaten by McGraw's men yesterday,
being his second start in the series.
This leaves only Hoyt Of the YANKEES
stable who is unbeaten, as all but
Mays and the school boy had been
fed into the NAV of the Giant ar
tillery in the memorable Third game
of the Manhattan struggle for world
supremacy.
McGraw, they were figuring, has
Nehf, ct al, to shoot at the Yam
KEGS with practically his entire
string Of pitchers back in shape, af-
ter "Shufflin' Phil Douglas got
away with a win on his second time
out against Mays yesterday.
Gotham is going wild over the
series now. For The first two davs
the Yankee fans did all the talking
but since then the followers of the
Giants have had the floor. The Yank
supporters are gleeful over the fact
that Ruth was able to get back in
the lineup yesterday and are claim
ing that the Babe now has his bat
ting eye on straight. In support of
this they are pointing to the homer
he poled in the ninth yesterday.

The Clickasha Gas and Electric
company proposes to construct a
gas line connecting their distribut-
ling system in Chickasha with the
mains of the Oklahoma Natural
Gas company, at point some four
miles south of the city and to then
apply for "a connection with that
company's mains.
The estimated cost Of the connect
ing lines is about $4,000 which
amount the local company is offer
ing to expend to bring natural gas
to Chickasha. In the event the Ok
lahoma Natural refuses to connect
with the line laid to the mains of
the Oklahoma Natural, an applica.
tion will be made to the corporation
commission OF the state, members
OF which have signified their willing
ness to issue an order, once the
connecting line is laid and the
Chickasha Gas and Electric COM
pany is ready to receive gas.
Proposition is Endorsed.
While there is some opposition to
the proposition, the proposed fran
chise has the endorsement Of the
Chickasha Chamber Of Commerce on
the grounds that it would prove one
OF the greatest improvements in the
city, leading to more home building
as well as cutting present fuel bills.

lis complete endorsement to the pro-
posal. The city council has endorsed
the proposition. With these. and
other endorsements, the proposition
