TRACTORS sTARTLE RUSSIANS
 IN OLD COUNTRY DISTRICTS

ALEXANDROVOSK, Russia, Oct. 24-Town folks ond peasants alike of this part of southern Ukraine were scarcely able to believe their eyes recently when 25 American
 tractors, with ploughs attached, were put in the fields near here to prepare thousands of acres for the fall planting.
 Peasants of the Alexandrovosk dis trict, one of the famine areas, had become discouraged because of lack of work animals and the summers crop failure, but the arrl- val of thetractors gave them a new lease on life.In pre-war days Alex androvosk was the center of thriv- ing agricultural community, with many factories in operation turning out agricultural machinery. But these implementswere all horse drawn, and the natives knew Of nothing else. So when the queer looking tractors were set up III the fields, and without being urged by cries or whip, began the task of ploughing, the peasants shook their heads and said such crawly things just could not last. But before many days the peasants had become tractor converts, and now most of them are hoping the day may come when they themselves will be able to own steam horse for their fields.
 The tractors and ploughs were brought here by the American Men nonite Relief Organization, which is endeavoring to work out plan for the upbuilding of Russian agri- culture.

SEWARD PENINSULA RAILWAY
 IS ACQUIRED BY TERRITORY

The Seward Peninsula Railroad has been formally transferred to the Territory by the Pioneer Min ing Company, according to Col. James G. Steese, President of the Alaska Road Commission. Capt. c. s. Ward, Assistant engineer officer of the Commission, took possession of the property for the Territorial Government, the transfer being made at Nome.
 The actual cost of the property was S24,000. The price named was S25,000 but the mining company discounted that $l,OOO in considera- ton for an immediate cash payment < warrant was drawn several days ago and signed by the Terrial Treasures for the former amount. A deed to she railroad and accom- panying property is now enroute from San Francisco to Nome for record ...
 The acquisition of the. road. it was stated, was accomplished so late in the season as to prevent any com prehensive rehabilitation work be- ing undertaken. 4 cableway will be erected at Iron Creek to facili- tate winter traffic but beyond that nothing will be done Several hun dred thousand feet of timber has been secured by the Alaska Road Commission from the former army post at St. Michael and will be used in putting the road in operating shape. This timber is being shipped across Norton Sound to Nome this Fall and will be on the ground
 ready when next seasons work be- gins. Other material for rehabili.a tion will be assembled during the winter. Under the agreement made between the Alaska Road Commis- sion and the Territory, the main tenance of the property and re sponsibili.y for its operation is und- ertaken by the former organization.
 The Commission has made thor ough study of the road and its equipment during the past two sea sons. Col. Steese and Col. Gotwals were both over l. last year and Capt. Ward has spent several month in that district this year The la.- ter will leave Nome within the next day or two for seattle, com ing out on the Victoria. From Seattle he will come to Juneau.

GIANTS IN FAVOR
AS MAJOR CHAMPS
PREPARE FOR TILT
OId-Time Players and Managers
Believe McGraW Will Pull
Team Through.
BIZ HENRY FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. BIPARTISAN fans
who figured the Yankees were going
to be an easy victor in the worlds
series are now wavering a bit.
Odds on the American League cham
pions have slipped down to 6 to 5
and some of the Giant supporters are
getting even money.
Nothing particular has happened to
hurt the chances of the Yankees or to
bolster up the Giants. The betting
is merely rejecting the sentim mt that
no team is worth big odds in 4 sven
game series.
One Broad st. firm reported d large
commission to wager on the GIANTS
without the Yankee money In sight.
Many freak bets are being medo. One
ct of $3.50 to 5000 was made that Babe
Ruth viii hit one home run in the
series.
Almost to a man the old-time ball
players and minor league managers
like the Giants. figuring that Nc
Graw will be able to cut smart the
American Leaguers and jockey his
rather fragile pitching staff through
ID victory. The Giant supporters pre-
dict that Joe Bush, with his fast ball
and curves, will be just to the liking
Of McGraw's heavy hitters, and that
Bob Shawkey does not stand more
chance than he had last year. They
also point out that Pipp and Ruth
were stopped cold last year. and if
the Giant pitchers follow instructions
they will do no better this year.
Some of the sharps predict that the
Giant pitching staff will be a surprise
in the series, and that big Jock"
Scott may turn out to be the big hero.
With the appointment Of Bill Klein.
Barry Mccormick, George Hildebrand
and Brick owens as the officials. the
final arrangements for the series were
completed.

NEW YORK. Oct. SACK Demp-
sey started a few vicarious clouts at
Bob Martins chin Monday whereby
he may have his revenge on the sol
der champion for the war service
scandal which harassed Dempsey and
cost him a fortune in lawyers fees
shortly after he won the title. Demp-
sey didn't meet Martin. He didn't
even see Martin. But the wallops are
started Martins way with the hope
that they will drop him for the count
when he boxes Floyd Johnson of
Iowa in the Garden next Friday night.
Insiders of the boxing game have
long surmised that Dempsey believed
Martin took considerable enjoyment
from the Governments unsuccessful
prosecution of the champion in Cali
fornia TWO years ago. Martin then
was in the limelight and il Dempsey
had been convicted, the A. L. F..
champion would have been in the
thick of the scramble for the vacated
title. After Dempsey was acquitted
there was ak OF matching him with
Bob, but one Of the foremost pro-
moters said it would be impossible as
Dempsey wouldn't give Martin a
match on any terms.
Monday Dempsey. with Wilsonian
disrespect for precedent, took Floyd
Johnson into a local gymnasium and
gave him a thorough lesson in ring
tactics. Ostensibly this was done
merely because Dempsey had taken
a liking to Johnson, who fights the
first big battle of his career against
Martin on Friday night. AS Johnson
is a potential challenger Of Dempsey
a year or two hence, the champions
aroused great interest. and
close followers of the game looked to
the deeper motive behind Jacks APP
parently altruistic interest in the
Iowa novice.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-There comes
a time like this every fall when the
country is all talked out the day be-
fore the worlds series and lips move
and chins waggle in the public places.
but no more sound comes forth.
Men with pads and pencils have
jotted down and have lone strange
feats of percentage with every con-
ceivable combination of numerals per
. tanning to every member OF the Giants
and the Yankees in this season as
well as seasons past.
= The Yankees have generally been
. picked to win more games and a larg-
aer pro rate Of the gate receipts than
I Giants because the Yankees have
five ace pitchers whose names
have been dinned into the ears OF a
baseball minded nation for the last
days and are herewith dinned
therein once more-Bush, Shawkey,
,Hoyt, Jones and Mays. But the
Giants have eight hitters in their reg
..ular lineup whose batting averages
range along between 800 and $40.
, There are no notorious injuries
among the clubs this year but Babe
Ruth is reported to be slightly dis
arranged in respect to some flank
muscles, which is comparatively the
prettiest pink Of condition for him
when there's nothing the matter with
Ruth, that's a sign there's something
the matter.
There is no way Of telling whether
New York will swamp this world
series or frost it stiff.
There will be 10000 unreserved 50
tickets on sale each day. for seats in
the upper stands. which were literally
snUbbed by last years mob. But you
can't tell about New York. They may
be dangling from the girders this year.
