Giants Capture
National Title

New York, Sept. 3O.-The New
YORK Giants are the 1921 Nation
al league champions. While they
accomplished the feat mainly by
their own efforts it remained for
the st. Louis Cardinals to give
them the final shove that placed
them beyond the reach of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, no matter
what happens in the remaining
games.
New York was idle, but the
Cardinals, on their own ctamping
grounds, walloped the Pirates
twice yesterday, and settled the
league championship. But they al
so created a new possibility-that
of tieing the Pennsylvanians for
second place. These two clubs
have three more games to play in
the present series, and If the clout-
ing Cardinals make a clean
sweep they will come to even
terms with Pittsburgh.
One Of the Pittsburgh's own
sons, Bill Doak, pitched st. Louis
to victory in the first battle.

HorseShow
Continues
ToAttract
Another Record Crowd
Cheers Contestants
Tonight Interest
Is In High Jump

Another record crowd at the
night horse show feature of the
state fair Districtor II. c. Brown
of the fair board, who is manager
of the horse show feature, has
succeeded in making the horse
show notable in many ways.
The fact his classification list
calls for maximum of saddle and
jumping events which may in part
account for the fact that there has
been new high attendance record
each night of the week.
Another reason for the crowded
amphitheatre is the ever increas-
ing popularity of Miss Doris Oxley
McCleave, who is so prominent in
showing her fathers large string
of show horses. Her ability as a
show woman increases with each
years experience. At this show
she has added the showing of the
five-gaited saddler to her roper
toire. To properly show the five
gaits of the Kentucky saddIer is
the hardest task that is presented
to the equestrian.
One Of the best five-gaiters in
the world, David Harum, has been
in the ring this week without be-
ing placed better than third and
1t is a fact that no once during
the week has he c.eanly shown five
distinct gaits. He has had no pos
sible chance of winning a blue
through lack of proper handling in
the ring.
The same applies to Flash, the
jumper. His owner has tried sew
eral riders in an attempt to find |
some one who could catch the
manner of control that would OBJ
tain Flash's confidence and get
him going right. When he jumps
at all he does it on wonderful
form and he is easy to handle and
surest inc very way-but lie will
not jump in this ring a fact that
IS much to be regretted as tonight
comes the jump for the greatest
height obtainable in which he
should be strong contender. In
the high jump tonight
spectators will probably see the
greatest high jumper of horses in

LEGALLY BOUND TO DO so
Senate Responds Quickly TO Request
for Broader Powers Of Finance Cor
poration to Take Charge Of Work.

Washington, ID. C.-Partial respon-e
Was made Immediately by congress 80
a special message from Presidell
Harding requesting that powers Of
war finance corporation be ~broadened
to take charge Of funding UPWARDS of
$500, 000, 900 Of railroad debts and to
provide additional farm credits.
The president in his message de-
clared that the government was NOR
ally and legally bound to fund tho
railroad debts and was under IAN i'm
polling moral Obligation" to provide ag-
ricultural credits. The first step tO.
ward meeting the second Of the two
reQuests-provisiOn for additional
farm credits-had been taken in the
senate before the message was read.
Senator Kellogg, republican. OF Mime
sofa. introduced a bill drafted by Sec
rotary Hoover and Director Meyer, OF
the war finance corporation, and said
to have the approval Of the president,
as a substitute for the pending Norris
bill to create a 800, 600, 900 farm ex.
port corporation. The bill embraces
the presidents suggestions to empow
err the war finance corporation.
The message dealt particularly with
railroad financing and declared the
proposal that the war finance corpora.
ton take charge OF funding the rail
road debts to the government would
cause mo added expense, no added
liability, no added tax burden" The
president described the proposal as a
simple remedy contemplating receipt
and disposition by the corporation of
ample securities" deposited by the
railroads. The message was referred
by the senate to its interstate com
merce committee.

FAIR TREATMENT.
RETALiATORY MOVE IN MIND
American Shipping Board Protests Az
legged Discrimination at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, Against Yankee
Craft With Cotton Carsoes.

Washington, ID. G. - Aggressive
measures have been adopted by the
shipping board TO insure fair treat
ment for American merchant ships IN
the award of trading privileges in for.
eign ports.
Although but partially revealed by
negotiations now in progress the
boards policy is understood to rest
on the proposition that other nations
must give every proper opportunity
TO ships which fly the Stars and
Stripes or else run the risk OF encoun-
tering retaliatory measures placed
within the ~prerogative Of the board by
the new shipping act.
There is every indication as re.
vealed by officials that the American
government will stand behind such a
program and every confidence that 1t
will succeed without serious opposi-
ton in placing the American merchant
marine on a proper level in interna-
tional trade.
A situation which has brought the
boards policy into prominence exists
at Alexandria, Egypt, in relation to
contracts for the carriage OF Egyptian
cotton TO the United Kingdom and The
United States.

London.-A preliminary conference
10 the Washington peace meeting is
likely to be held within a month some
where on the American continent. This
means the Pacific coast, either in
the United States or Canada. These
nations are the United States, the
British empire and Japan, and the
purpose OF this informal conference
will be TO discuss the problems OF the
Pacific and to agree to the agenda
on this subject for the larger and more
formal conference in November. 1t
Is settled that Prime Ministers Hughes
and Massey, of Australia and New Zea-
land, will attend on their way home
from London and it is entirely likely
that Prime Minister Lloyd George him
self will go. The reason why Wash
ington is ruled out as a meeting place
is the fact that it is the capital where
all the nations OF Europe are repre-
scented, and the different diplomats
would insist on being consulted, al
though they have no special interest
in the meeting.
