that result in st. Louis and the play
ing of year ago.
The Browns never won n game from
New York on their own field unul
the seventh, and, oddly enough, the
Yanks never lost one to Chicago until
the seventh. You canont say that
the western half of the American
League stood up under the fight
against them by the Yanks in that
part of the world The Yanks birched
them and birched them until you can
hear them yowling yet. The worst
trip that the Yanks made was their
last. when they broke even and. at
that. were able to keep their total
percentage up to nearly $50.
It's n fine baseball story. Western
teams in the National League make
the Giants carry dead wood all the
season OH their own little pasture by
the Harlem river and western teams
of the American League are licked by
percentage of almost ZOO on their
own grounds.
Draw your own conclusions as to
the worlds series.

EXPECT MOB AT GAME
Exposition Crowd in Austin Will
Swell TeXas-Phillirs Attendance.

Austin. Texas. Aug. 3f.-Due to the
fact that more than 100000 persons
are expected to be in Austin during
the week OF the Texas State EXPOSE
ton. October l to 6, the football game
on Saturday. October 6. between the
University Of Texas and Phillips Uni
versity promises to be one of the best
attended games of the season here.
Officials Of the Texas State Exposi-
ton, desiring to show their co-opera-
ton and realizing the value of foot
pail as an. attraction to outside Wis
ltorS, have decided to conclude the
horse racing on Friday, October 3 and
there will be no races on Saturday
to detract from the football game.
Phillips University usually proves
an unknown quantity until late in
the football season. Four years ago
the unknown Phillips University grid
iron squad came to Austin and tram
pied the Longhorns in the dust by
score of 10 to 0. At the conclusion
OF that season the Phillips Univer-
slty was admitted to the Southwestern
Conference. During the last three
years Texas has succeeded in coming
out victorious in all encounters with
the Phillips team. This year the
strength of Phillips is not known. The
University Of Texas is putting a prac-
tically new team on the field under
the guidance of new coach. hence
the game should draw the attention
of sport fans of Texas as the first
trust test of Texas strength and the
new coach's ability here.

Foster Presents Some

New York, Aug. 31.-The western
teams of the National League have
seen Broadway for the last time in
1928 and the eastern teams of the
American League will not have a
chance to eat succotash again in the
West at their bosses expense. Two
campaigns are over, hopelessly and
everlastingly so. and they are a reve-
lation in showing how men build up
20 win pennants in major league base
iball and how fate handles their plans.
/ The West in the American League
thoped that it would be superlativeIy
greater than the East. Baseball
writers said it would be, but even
baseball writer's have their difficult
ties reading horoscopes. The Giants
were declared to be invincible on the
Polo Grounds when the western teams
journeyed east. Neither prediction re-
suited. Both predictions were as tar
from the actual results as vinegar
from milk.
. Against the eastern teams on the
, Polo Grounds in the A games allotted
10 be played by the schedule, the Iii
ants won % and lost 10 for a per-
! centage of .56S. Think of that for a
nine that. holds the worlds series and
that holds total percentage of around
$50. 1t gives an answer to claim of
the invincibility of the Giants at home.
No matter what the Giants may have
done to the weakling in the East or
ltefa ~
West, they have not bee nable 10 throw
of the western teams at the Giants
home. They won only six more games
than they lost.
Reds Took EN- Down.
They divided up their victories as
follows: Won seven and lost four
with Chicago, won six and lost five
with Pittsburg, won four and lost
seven to Cincinnati. and won eight
and lost three 10 st. Louis.
While Branch Hickey is worrying
his head off with minor league teams
and plans for next year, his little
Cardlets have been worse licked in
New Ior': than any other National
League team. of course. it does not
matter what these teams did else
where in the Feast, because elsewhere
there has not been a chance on earth
to win n pennant
Look at the American League cham
pions as an example of another kind.
The West was going to take them up
in sandstone and drop them some
where between Sparks. New. ind the
farthest hamlet near the Nevada state
line east. But they didn't. The
Yanks won 30 and lost IL. Their
winning percentage in the West for
the year is .697. That is bang-up
championship baseball. It's the kind
of baseball that old man Arson was
wont to play when he whetted his

GENEVA.-Situated between Swift

Prior to the war Liechtenstein, in

Fee System Plan
Under Discussion
By County Officers

SAVANNAH, Ga, June S.-Ths
fee system discussion in Georgia
broke out in the meeting of the
county officers of Georgia Thursday
afternoon. The question of the meth
od of remuneration for county Of
flcers caused a warm discussion at
the convention.
/ The fight was caused by a reSo-
luton which provided that the as
ISOLATION should sponsor a bill pro-
viding that each county decide by an
election whether it shall have the
fee or salary system. The resOlu-
ton originated with the welfare COM
mittee and was approved by the ex-
ecutive committee.
Ordinary White, of Laurens ,cOun-
ty. was the only member of the com.
mittee who objected to it. In COM
mittee meeting when the resolution
was presented this morning Mr..
White again objected to it. Roy
Dorsey, of Atlanta, made a motion
that the resolution be referred to
the welfare committee and a COM
mittee, consisting of Mr.. White and
four of his friends, to see if they
could not reach an agreement.
The substitute motion was carried
and the matter was referred to the
conference committee. The report
will be a special order of business
Friday.

Prisoner, in Transit
to Miami, Recaptured
After One-Day Escape

In transit to Miami, Fla, to an.
swer several charges of burglary,
Robert Frederick, twenty-six years
old, made a desperate attempt to
escape from the deputy sheriff
guarding him, but was rounded up
in the swamps near Tallapoosa, Ga
by posse after a 24-hour man
hunt. He was brought to Atlanta
Wednesday night, and was taken
Thursday to Florida.
Frederick spent Wednesday night
in the local polio ebarracks. He re-
fused to discuss the charges against
HIM or reveal his home address.
Deputy Sheriff j. f. Fluid, Of
Miami, however, said Frederick re-
Gently had been captured in Des
Moines, Iowa. He declared he was
en- route to Miami when, near Tai
lapoosa, the prisoner escaped by
leaping from the train. The sheriff
followed him, but lost almost two
days in recapturing the man.

workingmen. They do not demand to
be the government but insist only
on policing the city and controlling
food prices.
In Bochum and Langendreer the
local police and the prOletarian bat
talions are functioning side by side.
The test of their strength has not
come.
In Dortmund the situation is cleo
trio. Fierce fighting may come at
any time after the recent skirmishes
in which fifty persons were wound
ed. The streets are crowded with
striking Workingmen who gather at
corners and nervously discuss their
situation.
The workers are perfecting the or
ganization of their battalions while
the police and the local fascist are
receiving reinfOrcenents from the
outside, partly from the disbanded
"schupo," who are returning we'll
armed.
French Indifferent
The wOrkingmen's battalions are
drilling in the streets with canes at
their shoulders and French troops
are watching them indifferently.
French tanks are parked in nearby
yards and observers III French cap
tive balloons watch all movements
from hundreds of feet above the
town.
The whole conflict has arisen from
the fact that the French disbanded
or disarmed virtually all of the Ruhr
police. The inevitable struggle is
now going on as to whether the fas-
cisti or the workers shall control.
The fighting hitherto has resulted
in the killing of eight persons and
the wounding of about 120.
Meanwhile the strike movement is
spreading. 1t almost completely has
covered the Dortmund region and
about two thirds of Gelsenkirchen.
The Essen region is still quite but
the workers are in desperate mood.
Two mines in the Dortmund region
have been left without anyone to
work the pumps and will continue
to be so left unless the workers ul-
timatum is accepted. The flooded
mines may be unavoidable for many
weeks after a settlement has been
reached.

WISCONSIN SENATE
EXPECTED To KILL
PROH| REPEAL BILL

MADISON. Wis, June 3.-Dry
leaders in the state senate today
were confident of defeating the
Tucker bill, repeating the Seversop
prohibition enforcement act, should
the bill come before the upper
body. The assembly yesterday en-
crossed the bill by a vote of 4S to
43, and wet adherents predicted that
their forces would remain intact
when the measure comes up for
final passage in that body.
The senate is admittedly dry, as
has been shown in past votes during
this session. Headquarters here of
the Wisconsin division of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment recently admitted that
there was little chance of passing
a'repeal measure in'the upper house
A spirited debate was staged in
the assembly yesterday before the
Tucker bill was ordered engrossed.
The debate hinged principally on the
effect the state law would have on

DORTMUND, June 9.-The Ruhr
miners and factory workers, eXas-
perated by the rising food prices, are
taking into their own hands the
problem created by the French oc-
Cupation on the one hand and the
Berlin policy favoring the Ruhr mag
mates on the other hand. The move
ment was initiated at Gelsenkirchen,
where the Workingmen gained power
at the expense of five dead and sixty
wounded.
The movement has extended rap
| idly throughout the eastern section
of the Ruhr district, while the strike
rapidly is becoming general. In Gel
senkirchen food is being sold at 40
per cent below the previous prices.
The city is under control Of volun-
teers and members of the "proleta-
rian. battalion" who, wearing red
arm bands, patrol the streets all
night, keeping perfect order
In the neighboring mining city of
Wattenscheid and other nearby
towns the same system was adopted
without bloodshed. The movement
is extending eastward to Dortmund
where a decisive struggle between
the newly organized shock battalions

The workers have not bothered
other than the food shops and near
ly all shops continue open. Clothing
and jewelry are sold at customary
prices. At the office of the local COM
4lluIl1SI newspaper Il temporary eX-
ecutive committee has been sitting
day and night directing it's battalions
of sentries, who have maintained or

not been an instance of pIundering
since the few excuses one Wednes-
day night. A committee representing
all the trade unions met in a beer
hall and chose a new executive COM
mittee which promptly issued orders
prohibiting the sale of beer and
spirits and provided for the main.
tenance of strict order in the city.
The town authorities accepted the
Workingmen' police force, composed
of members Of all the trade unions
in proportion to their relative num-

had directed the movement retired

lists.
