Smiling Skies
See First Game

(Bv Henry l.. Farrell, L. 7. 5. @
New York, Oct 4.-Fine bright
skies that promised all the comforts
of summer CLAIMED over New lorS
this morning for the big baseball
splurge of 1922.
Betting became brisker with the
odds still slightly in favor Of the
Yankees. Some wagerS were made at
I to 5 but the Yankee money was
holding off for 6-5 and even money.
Miller Huggins, the little man
ager OF the American League cham
pions came out flatfooted and an
nounced Joe Bush, his Billet Bali
star Of several years. ago and this
year, would do the hurting for the
Yanks.
John McGraw, smiling under the
glory Of his eighth national league
Championship, said it hasn't been his
habit to show his hand In advance
and he refused to name his pitcher.
The dopsters figured that either
Arthur Nehf, his southpaw pitching
ace. or Jock Scott, the huge right
handler who was discarded early last
summer by the Cincinnati Reds would
get the call to do the mound work for
the Giants.
1t was generally believed however,
that Nehf would perform on the dope
that he is the most reliable pitcher
on the staff and that the known dis
! like Cf the Yanks to southpaw hurling
would give hi9 a good chance to cop
the opener.
Wild rumors had the town gossip
ing last night and this morning.
There was story that Babe Ruth
was down with an attack of acute
indigestion. Mr.. Higgins and Mr..
! Ruth himself personally" denied
, this.
"I'm al right" the Big BAN said.
my side aint hurting me any more
and if | don't give you couple of
homers, Pm not a left handler"
There was another story that Hugh
McQuillan. one of McGraw's best
hurlers had broken an arm or leg
or something and was out for the
series.
Mac got hit on the leg during
batting practice. There is nothing
wrong with him. Those stories are
what you call in football-bear
stories" McGraw said this morning.
Joe Bush has a stone bruise on his
heel. Nehf has the same thing, Frank
Frisch and Dave Bancroft have lit
tie black and blue left on a couple of
bruises. Otherwise the boys are all
in good shape for the opener.
Officials Of both clubs were expect
ing 4 capacity crowd of 10000 in the
big stands for the first battle of the
series. Wild reports about huge
crowds storming the ramparts at
midnight kept thousands away from
the opening game last year but the
assurance OF the clrb owners that 20
600 seats would be available at 10
o'clock this morning did away with the
old custom of the midnight lines. the
soap boxes and the twenty-four hour
lunches of the super fans.

til w. r. Graves from Guthrie, OKla'
came along and created a crowd;
The first lady of the line was Irene
Henderson. She breezed up about
dawn, confessed that the boss Tor
whom she stenogs had given her the
day off, and tucked herself comfor-
tably into line about 8 souls away
from the fence.
Then an old timer, known to early
birds of series lines since Frank
Chance wore side whiskers and ca
vorted around first base out in Ill
inois, showed up and was given a
hearty cheer by man who. after
wards said ne was talking IN ms sleep
and had dreamed Babe Ruth MT a
homer but ran the wrong way around
the bases.
This veteran was Or. A. L. Budreau,
of Pittsheld, Mass. Doc and Mrs.
Budreau motored over for the great
event: the better half of the family
heading for Fifth Avenue while her
husband got into line at "a and de-
clared himself for the Yankees.
A. J. BeStedt, of Jersey City, Doyle

of Memphis were among the earliest
birds with Roy Paul of Des Moi-.es,
Allen Vandaver (the name is Aliens
of Trenton, and d. F. Doheny OF st.
Albans, n. j., not far behind.
Indications were that the wise
crackers of Hicksville on the Hudson,
stung last year by pre-series stories
of the last knot hole being sold out
four months in advance, had decided
to blow down about game time and
walk into their seats.
There were no fights.

GREECE SAYS
To Prevent Turkish Mas

Not HOnored-Britain is Not Hur-
rying.

London, Oct. 1.-The allies must
occupy Thrace to prevent widespread
/ Turkish massacres when Greek
troops withdraw, former Premier
VenizelOs of Greece informed Ameri-
can Ambassador Harvey in a confer
ence today.
Venizelos asked Harvey to inform
Secretary Of State Hughes in Wash
ington of the situation, and suggest
that he press upon the allies the
necessity Of such occupation. 1t wao
authoritatively stated Harvey for
warded Venizelos' plea to Hughes.
Harvey will confer with foreign
Minister Curzon this afternoon to as
certain his reaction to the proposal.
Venizelos admitted to Harvey that
Greek evacuation of Thrace was in
eyitable, but laid stress on the ur>
gent necessity of allied soldiers
marching in as the Greeks march out
to stop the Turks from massacreeing
a million Christians.
London. Oct. 4.-Greece has called
up 1Or pOSSIDlG resumption VI wal
their military classes of 1917 and 1918
and has instructed her delegates 70
Mudania to reject any proposal for
evacuation of Thrace, according to
news agency dispatch from Athens
today.
The new Greek generalissimo,
Nider, departed for Thrace this
morning, according to United Press
dispatch direct from the Greek
capitol.
Indiations are that the Greeks will
once more wage war against the
Turks unless permitted to retain pos
sessions in the Thrace basin, east OF
the Martha river.
liz a letter to The Times today,
Venizelos protests against the propos-
ed handing over of eastern Thrace to
the Turks.
The allied commissioners have call
ed Greece's attention to the lmpor-
tance of restraining her troops from
clashing with the Turks.
Gen. Harrington, for the British
government, was expected to refuse
this reported offer.
Overshadowing this dispute. how
ever. was the all important question OF
disposition of Tnrace. At today's ses-
sion it was reported this matter
would be first taken up.
The Greeks will refuse to evacuate
Thrace. it is understood. Greece is
expected to prove adamant on this
point and to present a stumbling
block to peaceful procedure of nego'
tiations at Mudania. The Ottoman
commander had made this evacuation
one of his armistice conditions. Pres
ent parley is designed merely to ef-
feet armistice conditions. The entire
success of the secret conference aP-
parently hinges on this point.
Britain, it was understood here, will
NOT agree to immediate evacuation OF
what was formerly "Turkey in Eu-
rope" until the Angora government
replies to the allied peace note re-
ouesting a show down. This reply
should We received today or tomorrow.
But nothing definite is known. Cor
respondents in Constantinople have
once more been forbidden to attempt
to proceed to the seat of the confer
ence. Whatever develops at Mudania
may be made public only through Of
ficial channels here.

Closing Season With Auburn
Looming AS Possible
Whine.

GEORGIA TECH, Atlanta, Nov.
24.-The football schedule for the
year 1928 is rapidly rounding into
shape. The following games have
been scheduled: Sept. %, OgIethorpa,
Oct. 6, Y. M. l., Oct IS, University
of Florida, Oct. 20, Alabama, Oct.
81, Notre Dame in South Bend, Nov
3, open, Nov. 10, open, Nov. II,

1t will be noticed that three games
remain to be scheduled. One Of these
will in all probability be with some
big Eastern team, the game 10 be
played on Grant Field, in Atlanta.
The other two games will be with
Southern teams. 1t is barely posi-
bic that Tech may take another trip
East, in addition to her trip to South
Bend, but faculty permission is
necessary, and that has been granted
only once in the past, when Tech
played Vanderbilt and Pittsburg
away from home in 1920.
New teams on the schedule are
V. NJ. l., who in 1920 were supposed
to have a team the equal of any in
the United Safes, defeating the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania ameng other
colleges, and going through the sea-
son indicated, and the University
of Florida. who fas risen to first
rank among the colleges of the South
IN the past two years. This is the
first time that Tech has played eth
er of these teams, and the first time
