GENERAL LEONARD WOOD
RETIRES FROM ACTIVE
SERVICE In THE ARMY

Washington, Oct. 5.-Major General
Leonard Wood retired today from ac-
tive service in the army to accept the
post of governor general of the Phil
,ppines, thus ending temporarily more
than thirty-six years of distinguished
military life. His resignation was
caused by insistence by administra-
ton officials that he accept the new
post and the refusal of congress to
permit him to do so while continuing
his active army status. In announc-
ing the generals retirement, Secre-
tary Weeks said he soon would Sc
lect vice governor for the islands
and expected Immediately to commits
sion General Wood to duty as gov
ernor-general. He announced also
that nominations would be forwarded
to congress without delay promoting
Brig Gen. Charles ]. Bailey, com
manding the second coast artillery
district, to fill the vacancy caused by
General Woods retirement.

MANAGER CHAMBER
COMMERCE STARTS
IDEAS CAMP PAIGN
Search for Suggestions Toward
Building Of Community Pro-
gram Is Begun

During the recent reorganization of
the Chamber of Commerce it was
brought out that the building of Il
community program would be one of
the tasks before the new organiza-
tion. The first step in this direction
will be taken tonight when the new
manager will address the Lakeland
Lodge No. 67S, Bailermakers and
Shipbuilders' Union. Tho me citing
will be in the nature of an intimate
discussion of the problems before the
community, and the manager hopes
to secure some valuable suggestions.
A card will be given each one pres
ent, on which answers will he written
to the following questions: l. What
can the Chamber of Commerce do
for you? 2. What do you consider
the most important thing the Cham
ber of Commerce should undertake
for the development of Lakeland and
the surrounding country?
Tomorrow night the same kind of
meeting will be held by the local lodge
of the International Association of
Machinists, and Friday morning the
high school students will have a
chance to hear the plans for commun-
ity development and to give their sug-
gestions.
1t will be seen tnat this is a cam
paign for ideas. following the recent
campaign for funds. 1t has been
learned that, while every man able to
do so should give his financial sup
port to the Chamber of Commerce,
something more is desired and that is
ideas. The present movement will
result in bringing in all possible ideas.
The cards when filled out will be used
as the basis of the community pro
gram. for they will represent the com
posite mind of the community on the
subject of the community's develop
ment

EXPERTS AGREE
BOTH SIDES ARE
EVENLY MATCHED

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct 5 5.-
The contest to star tat p m. will
be one OF speed, dash and resource
fulness, as exemplified by the Giants
against the battering aggressiveness
oi the Yankees.
Never in the history of World
Series baseball were two teams so
evenly matched. Led by Ruth. around
whom centers at once the series
hopes of the Yankees and the pro-
blem of the Giants, the Americans
virtually slugged their way to the
1921 pennant. while McGraw'S men,
with apparently greater odds to over
come. achieved victory through dar-
ing and cleverness.
The Giants hurlers probably will
find the batting combination of Miller,
Peckinpaugh. Ruth. Muesel, Pipp and
Ward one of the toughest they have
ever been called upon to solve. Peck
inpaugh is always a dangerous hitter
and Miller, who precedes him, is by
no means easy. Then comes mighty
Ruth. To pass him will mean facing
the fearful Bob Meusel. and to pitch
to him means that at any time the
Jan might ~ SdillhS ONcI llc StdHuS
for a homer.
Behind Meusel and Pipp come
Ward, McNally and Schang and none
of them can be taken too lightly Ex-
perts believe the Yankee batting or
der to be the most formidable in Sc
ries history. And this is what Toney,
Nelf, Douglas and other Giant
mOundsmen must face.
And then the Giants-Frank Frisch
at third base has no equal at the bat.
He is veritable flash on the bases.
His nickname the Fordham Flash
was earned thereby On the defen
sive Frisch is formidable and at bat
he is a terror for any pitcher He
hits when hits are needed. He is an
individual star for the Giants.
George Kelley, the elongated Giant
keeper of the initial sack. holder of
the home run record of his league for
the 1921 season and Young and
Burns and Bancroft with Snyder the
regular backstop form a batting
bunch that will give the Yankee
pitchers their greatest trouble. The
entire McGraw organization is noted
for its daring on the bases, and while
they are not so likely to make long
hits. they figure to make runs through
resourcefulness.

Hours before the Giants and Yankees

Toward daylight the crowd grew
Ilarger and the line longer. The po-
lice had some arguments to settle but
it wasn't strenuous labor. If the
opinion of bleacherites was any indi
cation of the outcome of the game, the
giants were scheduled to win. All
along the line the National Leaguers
were favored over the Yankees yet
those who supported the latter club
made up in noise what they lacked in
numbers.

having been cruel To the murdered
children.
"She seemed to have grudge
against them he said. MANY times
have seen her take sticks and rope
and beat the largest boy ard I'd beg
her not to be so horrible to the lite
fellows.
Hudson. in his statement, did not
charge his wife with the murder OF

sci the court had previously admitted
testimony by Sheriff Tarver that
Hudson told him his wife had con.
fessed to killing her two sons on the
day of the murders, while they were
driving in a buggy together from
their home to Albany. The sheriff tes
titled Hudson made this statement
after he had told the defendant hii
wife accused him of the crime.

sheriff, Glen, did you say anything
to her about going back to the house
and seeing if the children were dead ?
