Little or no interest is being shown
| in the borough election which takes
place a week from today. Both ma
jor parties have nominated a ticket
which is departure from former
years when the candidates were en-
dorsed by both, but no contest is
likely. With few changes, the present
staff of officers is up for reelection.
Southington went on daylight saving
schedule officially this morning. Yes
terday. a great deal of confusion
reigned because of the fact that some
of the churches in town adopted the
new schedule, but others failed to do
so. Few, however, with the excep-
ton of the farmers, will adhere to
standard time, but sentiment on the
question appears to be about evenly
divided.

GIANTS TAKE FIRST GAME--5 TO
SCORES WATCH
HUGE PRESS
BOARD

FL Centre baseball fans flocked
to Sixth and State street today to
watch the playing of the first game
of the Worlds ;ei:es between the
New York Yankees and Giants at
New York as reproduced on the
Imperial Valley Press electrical
scoreboard by means of the United
Press leased wire reports.
Due to IA shortage of available
men to work on the board, c. r.
Ferguson was unable to have the
board complete in detail for today =
game. This is to be remedied how
ever, and tomorrow s game will be
reproduced in every detail. The
board will be altered so as to show
the number of runs in each inning.
The crowd seemed to be evenly
divided between Giant and Yam
-kee rooters, though it is possible
there were a few more Yankee sym
pathzers, due to the desire of the
fans to see the Yankees win Il
world s series after two unsuccess-
full tries.
The returns from the game at
New York were received a few min
utes after actual play SO that final
score was known before ! O'Clock.
When the result of the game was
announced, the Giant rooters gave
a cheer while those who are fol
lowing the Yankees went away with
the knowledge that their team has
chance to even the series tomor-

BEST SEATS IN
CRANDSTAND ARE
SELLING FOR $40
ny United Pres. Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-There are
just. as many world series tickets
available as any one would want to
buy.
All along Broadway, the alleged
gay White Way, spectators are
squabbling over customers. The
best seats in the grandstand are
selling this morning at $40 a throw.
Buttonhole boys, perched along the
curb, were snagging customers with
an iron paw. Block seats for three
worth $l5--were being pan
handled freely at only twice their
value. Some went as cheaply at
$25, while seats in the remote sec
tions of the stand sold down to 500.
The first odds of s to on the
Yanks-quoted several weeks ago
was shaved down to even money.
Wall street houses reported plenty
of cash available from the big
gamblers and any one could get a
bet down for any amount wanted.
The only fanatic fans seem to be
the out of town boys who have flock
ed down to Broadway, more as a
matter of world series sightseeing,
than because of interest over who is
going to win. They come from all
corners of the earth. Bob Murphy
of Manila won the long distance
championship when he arrived from
the Philippines distance of 10000
miles-just in time for the game.
1t is estimated the visiting aggre-
CATION totals about 10000 souls.

War Horse Stengel~ Puts
Finishing Touch to
Game
Four Runs in Third In
ming Alone to Giants
! Giving Lead

YANKEE STADIUM NEW
YORK, October 10.-Before
monstrons crowd of sixty thous-
and fans the New York Giants
took tho first game of the
worlds series from the Yankees
here this afternoon by a score
Of to 4. In the ninth inning
while dusk and haze had fallen
on the big playing field Casey
Stengel, the old war horse of
the Giants, slapped a drive far
out to the left field wall for
the home run that broke up
the game and gave the Giants a
richly deserved victory.
One big inning, the third, gave
the Giants four runs and lead of
one run that seemed to cinch the
victory.
"Heinie Groh s triple knocked
young Waite Hoyt out Of the box
and scored the two runs that com
pletely upset the Yank morale. -Four
runs were scored ON two singles, Ii
pass, an infield out and Groh s
triple.
stengel, Kelly in Good Work
While it was the punch from
stengel's bat that provided the win
ming run, Il most spectacular throw
after Il beautiful stop by George
Kelly, which cut off a run at the
plate, was just as big a factor in
cutting down the rush of the Yam
KEGS, who were fighting all the way.
The Giants played more alertly than
the Yankees and although outhit by
the American league champions they
made the most out of their safe
blows.
Snydcr's great work behind the
bat also played prominent part in
the Giant victory. His quick snap
throws to the bases stopped any
running attack the Yanks had in
mind.
Waite Hoyt started for the Yanks
but wobbled in the third.
Watson Was Wobb,y
Mule Watson, the Giant pitcher,
started wobbly and lasted only
two innings during which the Yanks
accumulated a lead of three runs
The official attendance and re-
ceipts were not known at the end
of the game. There were only a
few seats vacant i'll the far corners
of the upper stands and it was
estimated the attendance was at
least G0,000.
