POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. l3.-John McGraw's fighting
Giants Joined the weather man in
an effort to put the world series
on ice this afternoon.
The setting for the eighth game
between the leading National
Leaguers and their Yankee rivals
was decidedly frigid. Drab skies
lowered overhead and a cold breeze
from the northwest chilled the
spectators through and through.
Weather Is Cold.
Because of the unfriendly weather
the early crowd was the smallest of
the series and there was a prospect
that the total attendance would be
well under the capacity Of the park,
despite the fact that today's game may
be the last.
Az IL o'clock the advance crowd
numbered less than 1900 and the fans
sat huddled together with overcoat col
lars turned UP and hands buried in
pockets. There was but little doubt
that the management would be able
to take care of all customers.
The TEnks were the home team to-
day, and they were ready to make a
valiant last stand. Defeat meant the
ending of the series for them, and as
a result Huggins was expected to use
his lone remaining pitching ace, Waite
Hoyt.
Manager McGraw expected to send
Artie Nehf back into the fray against
his young rival, or had the alternative
of using Jess Barnes. In this event
Huggins planned to switch his batting
order. Butting Frank Baker UP

ting.
Chance For Three Straight.
The prospect of Nehf and Hoyt
coming back strated comment regard
ing the chances of the Yankee star
of making II three straight against
the Giants. The youthful Brooklynite
was sure to be subjected to a severe
barrage of strategical projectiles from
the Giant bench in the way Of orders
from McGraw to his batsmen. The
Giants found Hoyt in the first game
because he had hot day for It and
was at his best. In the second game
he pitched however. they mixed things
up on him, by sometimes hitting the
first ball and more often waiting him
out. 1t was cinch today, the ex.
perts agreed, that Hoyt would have a
fine time trying to figure what the
batsmen of McGraw would do.
Artie Nehf. on the other mitt, is
horse of a different color for the
Yanks because he is a southpaw and
because he has good control and a
thorough knowledge of how the
Yanks beat him before. As he figures
Il he simply was outlucked and the
Yanks got the best OF the breaks.
Pitching Excellent.
The pitching in the present serie,
has been exceptionally fine. The
twelve pitchers who have worked nc
far have struck out total of seventy
two batsmen and against this nav,
issued but thirty-eight bases on balls.

Useful warning, and the re-

If a little thing like the forti-

-Four Places Raided.
Four other places were raided here
this afternoon, and utensils, malt and
hops to the value Of more than $685.
900 were captured and taken to the
prohibition office storchouse. In ad-
dition TO the utensils. the officers cap
tured several cases OF home brew.
The prohibition officials do not con-
template going into the homes to put a
stop to home brewing, 1t was said, but
they are going to arrest every mer>
chant in the city who sells the In.
gradients that go to make up the home
brew.
State directors and prohibition
agents throughout the country were
instructed by Commissioner Haynes
to raid every place where beer uten'
sils and malt and hops were sold.
Louis Hurwitz and Jacob Baynard
were arrested yesterday afternoon
when the prohibition agents, led by
Internal Revenue Agent l.. r. Evans,
raided the near-beer establishment
at 1902 Pennsylvania avenue north
west and took away with them sew
eral thousand dollars worth of malt
hops. bottle tops. bottle cappers, and
bottle openers.
They were charged with violating
section IS of the prohibition act
and released on 81 900 bonds each.
The same agents raided 919 d
street northwest and confiscated a
quantity of malt. hops. and utensils
but they made no arrest.
Based on Section 1s.
The action of the prohibition Off
cials, IL was said at headquarters to
day. was based on section is of the
national prohibition act. which Is as
follows:
"It shall be unlawful to advertise
manufacture, sell, or possess utensil
contrivance, machine, preparation
compound, tablet, substance, formula
direction, or recipe advertised, de
signed, or intended for use in the un
lawful manufacture of intoxicating
| LIQUOR" Section rs reads in part: "I'
| shall be unlawful to have or possess
any liquor or property designed for the
| manufacture of liquor"
The section of law. under which tn,
procedure is taken, also prohibits ad
vertising of such articles and the at
tention of Commissioner Haynes ha,
been directed to certain newspaper
and other publications which are ad
| mitting such unlawful advertisement,
in their columns.
Raids a Big Surprise.
The action OF the prohibition of
| ficials was q surprise to every one
because the selling Of malt and hop,
has gone on openly for severa
months. The dealers even advertis,
their products in the daily newspa
pers and have large flaring signs II
front of their place of business ad
vertising the fact that they sell ,
particular brand of malt and hops
Their windows also were lavishl,
decorated with cans of malt anC
! bags OF hops and the necessary uten
| sils for making home brew.
The fact that the ingredients wer'
being sold in this and other cities Il
well known to the prohibition OF
ficials, and former Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer took the stant
that they could not be molested.
| Commissioner Haynes said toda,
that he was going to make a deter
mined effort TO rid the markets o
home brew utensils and Ingredient
| and that he believed that the Law
contemplated the prohibiting of bee
in the homes.

Neither Mr.. Reed or myself have

Something like a year ago representa-

to have us join them, but upon inves-

MIR. Wholley might easily have as
certained the facts in the matter by
calling upon Mr.. Reed or myself. As
head of a better business bureau, he

making statements which place MIR.

position of having TO make denial as
a result OF careless assertions on his
part which are WITHOUT foundation In

Mr.. wholley stated today that his
testimony before the House COM

Washington, ID. c., March Fl.
Former Premier viviani of France will
receive d hearty welcome to the United
states. He will be met at New York by
Robert Woods Bliss, Third Assistant Sec
rotary OF State, who will extend the
official greeting OF the United States
Government.
Special preparations indicate the OPEN
mindedness OF the Administration to any
suggestion that may be made concerning
the vexing questions that prevent fun
and complete understanding between
America and the allied Powers.
Keen interest IL taken here In the
Paris press discussions concerning the
object Of the visit Of NJ Viviani 1t is
regarded as a happy augury of M. Vi
WANTS visit that the Paris press is
urging the special envoy not to fall into
the pitfall OF urging acceptance Of the
league covenant. II is believed this
attitude indicates that publicists in
France are coming to realize that the
American people remain in friendly
attitude toward France, but are deter
mined that even this friendship Will not
beguile them into making an arrange
ment which will barter away their own
national initiative.
While State Department officials are
reticent. ii IS clear that any proposal 70
make a concession here and there which
will not meet the American objection to
the spirit of the league as now formed
will doom the Viviani mission to failure.
1t is also clear that the men who will
speak for America will expect recogni-
ton of Americas right as one Of the
victors over Germany before entering
into any negotiations relative to future
relations.
1t also develops that in dealing with
the foreign situation the regular Am
bassadors of the allied powers will be
the real spokesman. While NJ Vivfani
is expected to prepare the way for ne
gotiations it is assumed they will be
conducted to a conclusion by Ambassa-
dor Jusserand and that Ambassador
Geddes will speak for Great Britain.
