.STAR SCOREBOARD
DRAWS THOUSANDS
Vies With Polo Grounds in
Attracting Fans to Watch
World Series Plays.

On, BOY.
Next to being at the Polo Grounds,
standing with the other fans on the
11th street side Of The Star building
watching the first game of the world
series. play by play, on the big elec-
trio score board, was the very best
vote of all present.
A perfect base ball afternoon
brought several thousand fans to
watch the electric score board, the
street being crowded from curb to
curb. with just enough room left for
the passage of vehicles.
Washington fans hold a corner Of
their hearts open to The Stars score
board. There is something about the
flashing lights, the clang of the stri-
dent bell when hit is made. and the
other features that has endeared it
to base ball enthusiasts.
Today was no exception. Radio
may come and radio may go. but The
Star scoreboard goes on forever.
Crowd Chcer Groh's Hit.
"Hooray" screamed the crowd, as
one man, when Groh hit for three
bases in the third. 1t was about the
first taste Of blood that the standers-
by had gotten. and they clamored for
more.
"Attaboy, Heinie" they yelled.
"Clang" went the bell.
I 1.-TWO bases," chortled the crowd.
".Glang!m'' ratified the bell.
And the crowd whooped it up for a
homer, but it was not forthcoming.
Frisch Fails Fans.
Then Frisch. the Giants redoubta-
BILE second-sacker, stepped to the
plate. Sure! Every fan in front of
the scoreboard saw him do it, just as
plain as If they had been at the Polo
Grounds. That's the charm Of that
old board. 1t has been turning out the
game for so many years for the edi-
f1cation of the boys-and girls-that
it has it down t6 a fine point by this
time.
But Frisch flew out to second and
that ended that.
So it went throughout the game. The
men and boys lining the curb, stand
ing in the street and crowding the
sidewalks from Pennsylvania avenue
to considerably north Of the main
entrance to the new Star building, on
11th street, never missed a point of
the conflict.
Police Job Easy.
The policemen on duty had little to
90. 1t was good-natured gathering.
out for the sport, and when the cop
ordered this one OIL. that one to "stand
back there" why this one or that one
naturally stood back a bit, and
thought no more about 1t.
1t was hard to tell from the talk and
actions of the fans which side the
crowd favored. Probably most of the
rooters wanted to see the American
League champions win out, but there
were plenty of Giant sympathizers in
the crowd, too.

DEMOCRAT LIKELY
IN M'CUMBER SEAT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

FARGO. N. D., October fl. F. T.
OConnor, democrat. has better than
an even chance to defeat former Gov.
the seat in the United States Senate
to be vacated by Senator McCumber,
republican.
But before you jump to the con-
clusion that this means something
nationally. please be informed that
Mr.. OConnor is really the candidate
Of the regular republican organiza-
tion which is recognized by the ma
tional republican committee, and
which was supplied with funds In
1920 by VIII Hays and his associates.
Things Topsy-Turvy.
For things are topsy-turvy here and
the fact that Mr.. O'Connor. who was
nominated in the democratic pri-
maries, is openly supported by the re-
publicans, means that the Independent
Voters Association, the organization
created to combat the Non-partisan
League, is delighted to administer
another defeat to the league.
The general impression seems to be
that many Of the votes which Frazier
received in the republican primaries
against Mccumber will not go to him
in the final election. as it is suspected
that many voted for Frazier SO as
to be able to defeat McCumber on
the one hand, and later defeat

POLO GROUNDS, New York, Octo-
Der 4.-When the two New York
teams-the Giants and the Yankees
engaged in their second family fight
for the honors of the annual world
series thirty-flve thousand specta-
tors. made up of local citizenry with
hundreds from out of town, were
out to the Polo Grounds to see the
internecine embroglio between the
winners Of the National and American
leagues renewed after an armistice
since last October. when the Giants
captured the Yanks bag and baggage.
1t was an ideal day for the game.
A coppery sun glowed in cloudless
sky and there was a midsummer
warmth in the October air.
Mad Rush Absent.
New York took its local world
was bound to win, anyhow, and there
was no mad rush for the unreserved
sections in the upper grandstands
and bleachers. There was plenty of
room for the early corners and there
were seats to spare at noon. The
reserved sections in the lower grand
stand, with every seat sold, did not
fill up until game time, of course.
The usual brass band was on hand
to keep the early-comers In good
humor. Nick Altrock and AL Schacht
did their base ball clowning acts be-
fore the game.
All the players of the two clubs
reported in good condition. except
McQuillan, the Giant pitcher, who
was slightly hurt by batted ball in
practice yesterday. Babe Ruth said
he was in shape. and did not think
his wrenched side would bother him.
An Sengrossed testimonial signed by
Gov. Allen c. Ritchie of Maryland;
Brother Paul. head of ST. Mary's In
dustrial School of Baltimore, and
others was presented to Babe Ruth
before the game.

AUDITORS
REAL D. c. BALANCE

Accountants employed by the joint
congressional committee auditing the
financial transactions between the
federal and District governments
covering the last forty-eight years
have not completed their audit and
will not reach any decision on this
matter before December, at least. The
joint committee has until the first
Monday in February to make its
report.
That the accountants will find cor
rect the District Commissioners claim
that $4.64s.606.6s remains in the fed
eral Treasury to the credit of the
District-being District tax money
unmatched, dollar for dollar. by fed
eral funds under the half-and-h
principle-has never been doubted.
The real question for the accountants
to determine has been If the United
States has any charges against the
District that may reduce this amount,
or If there are any further credits
due the District that would increase
it. Those who are in charge of the
District taxpayers interests claim
that there are further credits which
will swell the amount that the fed
eral Treasury owes the District.
Question IL Real Balance.
So the real question now before the
auditors Is: What is the present bal
ance as between the federal and Dis
trict governments when all accounts
since July 1, 1874, have been audited
to date? How much does the federal
Treasury owe the District today?
The District appropriation act for
the current fiscal year authorized the
joint committee to employ account
ants for this work, and this act de-
fines the scope of the audit as fol-
lows:
ITO inquire into all matters per-
tanning to the fiscal relations between
the District of Columbia and the
United States since July l. 1874, with
a view of ascertaining and reporting
to Congress what sums have been ex-
the District Of Columbia, respectively.
