HUGGINS IS SORRY
 OVER MAYS DEFEAT
Yankees Manager Declares After Yes. terday's Case That Carl Deserv-
 ed ShutOut Victory.

New York, Oct. 13.-''That game was a tough break, very tough break" said Miller Huggins in the club house yesterday. Mays deserved a shutout. The Yankees should have won by 1 to o. But all the breaks went with the Giants, and we were left out in the cold by luck. I never saw a pitcher lose game through harder luck.
 However, I think that Hoyt will come back with bells on again Thurs day afternoon and even the series We will have to fight like the devil, but we can do that thing. Hoyt's curve ball will save the series for us tomor- row. And Mays will go right back and win it for us on FridaW'
 Col. Ruppert said that the series al- ready had provided glory enough for everybody in it. 'This is the hardest best played, most sensational world ser ies I ever saw," declared the Colonel And that made it unanimous.

SERIES RECEIPTS
 TOTAL $804,78I
New Record Mark Is Established
 in 1921 Games

New York, Oct. 13. = All Worlds Series records for gross receipts were smashed into tiny bits at the Polo Grounds yesterday when the total for seven games reached the towering sum of $S04,7S1.
 The previous record was s722,414 for eight games played between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox in 1919.
 This means that the new high wat CT mark is sS2.367 and one full game better than the old record.
 When the returns are all in for the eight, and possibly deciding game this afternoon. the total will be fully s920.- 900, just short of that longed dreamed of "$1. .000.0 900 gate.''
 If the Yankees win this afternoon and again even the series the ninth game tomorrow will: carry the total we'll over $1,000,000.
 Already the total is almost twelve times as great as that in 1905, when the Giants beat the Philadelphia Ath- letics in the first series played under the rules of the old National com mission.
 New attendance figures will be set up this afternoon When the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants played eight games in 1912, 251, ,901 fans paid to see those bitter struggles. This has been tho high water mark. The attendance for seven games of the present series has been 244,566, only 1885 short of the record. If 35,000 go to the Polo Grounds this afternoon the new record will stand at 280,000 in round numbers If a ninth game is necessary the total will ,go over 100000. These figures indicate, if nothing else, the popularity of baseball and the remarkable interest in the strug- gle between the Giants and the Yam kees for the baseball championship of the well known universe.

COnfers with Harding

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar. 2S-Sen.
Frederick Hale returned, Monday, TO
Washington, after few days at
Pinehurst. On his return he set to
work cleaning up a large accumula-
ton of mail and was ready to leave
for Maine tonight for a vacation,
when he received an invitation this
noon to dine with the President and
Mrs. Harding. Sen. Hale and Mrs.
Hale. widow of the late Sen. Eugene
Hale. will be the guests at White
House for dinner tonight, after which
they will be the presidents guests at
a theatre party at one of the thea
tres. The invitation received caused
a quick change of the senator's plans
and a REIMBURSEMENT of his schedule.
He is leaving for Maine, Thursday
night. where he will remain until
nearly time for the special session Of
Congress to open April 18th. The
friendship between the President and
Senator Hale, which began when the
former was a member of the United
States Senate, has continued and to-
day Senator Hale stands very close
to the chief executive of the nation.
Tuesday of this week, Senator Hale
was called to the White House to
consult with President Harding rela-
tive to important matters and in the
afternoon a party composed of the
President, Senators Frelinghuysen of

Several Bomb Blasts

In Leipsic, Dresden, Rodewisch and
other cities in Central Germany the
Communists directed their efforts
against court houses, city halls, pub
lie banks and police headquarters. A
bomb exploded in the Leipsic court
house this morning and blew off the
roof, broke all the windows, wrecked
the lobby and shattered the windows
of buildings in radius of two blocks.
In Rodenwisch the city hall was
virtually destroyed by a bomb which
had been concealed in the basement.
The use of dynamite against the city
administration buildings in Auerbach,
Freiberg and Dresden resulted in
heavy property loss and the wound
ing severely of at least three persons
Others were slightly injured.
A twenty-one year old man was ar
rested in Auerbach with a sack OF
dynamite in his possession. A COM
panion who fired at the policeman
escaped. The man arrested said he
was from Danzig, but declined to talk
further.
The outrages are believed to be
connected with the attempt of the
Communists to force a general strike

"a Reported Killed,
80 Wounded in
Irish AmbuScades

Dublin. March 23-(By The Assoc
ciated Presc) -Twenty-four persons
were killed and nearly 30 wounded
in ambushes reported today. The
men to whom the government attri-
butes the organization of the am
buscades have not been captured.
The multiplication Of the ambus-
cades is believed to be largely due to
reprisals for the recent executions.
Tie Sim Fein is said to regard their
men as belligercnts and the execu-
ton those captured as breach Of
the laws of war and punishable by
reprisals. The execution Of Whelan
was followed by the killing of two
policemen in his native town of Cliff
den. The deaths of the policemen
were avenged in Clifden by house
burning.
The execution Of Patrick Moran
has been followed by the killing of
two policemen in his native town Of
Rosecommon.
For every man executed vengeance
is anticipated, and as the government
has in custody many men liable to
the death penalty and is said to mean
to carry out executions the piling up
of deaths on each side is considered
here as inevitable
No big outbreak is thought prob
able, but the daily guerilla warfare
against the troops and the police,
and the individual shootipgs of
policemen and men suspected Of hav-
ing dealings with them, are consider
ed not likely to be seriously checked
by any government measures yet
taken.

Bold Work Red Paper

Berlin, Mar. 23-The outbreaks in
middle Germany which synchronized
with the action of Communist ship
yard owrkers at Hamburg had been
openly espoused for the past 4S hours

The governments only protest
