 Despite the fact that both teams were close to equal in driving force. line plunges and end sl1irting re- mained the order of the day during the second half, each side being forced to punt regularly the visitors attempted a number of forward passes, one of which was successful, but neither team took chances and the ball see sawed in midfield.
 With Walker and Waite leading the offensive, Grovehill backs. aided by the fierce work of their forwards, were able to make more lineage in the second half than in the first. With Turner.

SincIGir'S Ecu Chosen To Race Papyrus On 2Oth


 NEW YORK. Oct. 5.--It was off cially announced tonight that Harry SinclaiTs 3-year-old Zev has been se- lected to meet Papyrus, English der by winner in the S100,000 inter- national race October 20. The official announcement coming as it has 24 hours before the time set by the Jockey club committee, was due, it was said, to the fact a member of tho committee made the decision known at Belmont Park this after noon.
 The official statement from Major August Belmonts office follows:
 "The committee of the Jockey club August Belmont, Joseph B. Wide ner, William Woodward, Rupert L. Guerry and Joseph Fosburg-named to select an American 3-year-old to race against the Epson derby win rer Papyrus for purse of $100.O00 at Belmont park Saturday, October 20, made known it's decision today.
 Under the terms of the agreement, three horses were to be named, and in case of sickness or disability, they would take the field in sequential order.
 "The choice included zev, My own and Untidy and Zev, if he remains fit and well. will be the horse.
 My Own is second on the list, out ranking Untidy, which will only face the derby winner in case both colts are out of commission on the day of the race.
 "The definite choice of Zev sets at rest any speculation as to the chances of My Own outranking him for the honor and puts an end to the controversy which has been raging for the past two weeks
 When the articles of agreement were being signed at Doncaster, England, the representative of Major Belmont called Mir. Irish's attention to the possibility of all three horses that might be named three weeks before the race, going wrong or be- ing destroyed by fire or through ac- cident.
 "The BrAish sportsman thereupon agreed that the Jockey club should have the right to name a candidate up to the day before the race.
 q want the American people to see my horse in a race said he, and I am ready to subscribe to any terms that will guarantee a contest.
 There would be no satisfaction in sending to America for walk over.
 "The choice of Zev cannot fail to increase interest in the international race and from now until October 20 every move of Papyrus and his rival will be followed with eagerness by lovers of the sport everywhere.'

WGRAW TO HAVE FOUR STARS FOR PITCHING DUTIES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Four pitching veterans-all former members of the Boston Braves-are being groomed carefully by Manager McGraw of the champion Giants to match speed and curves with the all-star Yankee array in the worlds series that be- gins Wednesday. On them McGraw pins much of his hope for a third successive world championship.
 The quartet are: Jack Scott, twirl- ing hero of the Giant triumph last year; silent John" Watson, a 1923 addition to the staff; McQuillan. whose acquisition last season helped turn the pennant tide in favor of the Giants, and Art Nehf, diminutive Southpaw star.
 Nehf, Scott and McQuillan account ed for three of the 1922 series vic tories over the Yankees while Nehf twirld the deciding victory for the McGrawmen in the eighth game of the 1921 classic.
 On paper, the Yankee maiustays- Jones, Hoyt, Bush, Pennock and Shawkey - outclass the Giant moundsmen. just as they did year ago, but memories of the 1922 re-. Versal, when the Giant staff came through with flying colors while their rivals cracked, have prompted the belief that McGraw may again round his squad into winning con- dition.
 Nehf. McGraw believes. is again at the top of his form after somewhat cratic season. The little southpaw blanked Brooklyn in the game which enabled the Giants to clinch the 1923 flag, and is likely to twirl the open ing contest against the Yankees, thus gaining this distinction for the third straight year
 With few exceptions Scott has twirled steadily all season and hopes to duplicate his come back of 1929 when he blapked the. Yankees with the most brilliant mound exhibition of the series.
 McQuillans speed ball has been working to perfection recently and Watson has regarded McGraw's con- fidence after brief lapse in dis cipline. Rosy" Ryan, despite his good record for the year, is unlikely to start any of the games, unless one or, more Of the veterans fail to come through

THREE TANKS TO PLAY SIXTH WORLD SERIES THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Three mem bers of the New York Yankees will take part in their sixth worlds se- ries when they oppose the Giants next week thus tying the record es- tablished by Eddie Collins with the Philadelphia Athletics and. White SoX.
 They are Babe Ruth, Waffle Schang and Joe Bush.
 Ruth played with the Boston Red SoX in the worlds series of 1915. 1916 and 1918, starting. first as a pitcher. He has been with the champion Ya1.- kees in their three successive pen nant triumphs.
 Schang and Bush have been battery mates in their worlds series eXperi- ence with three American league clubs. They were with the Athletics in 1913 and 1914. They broke into the title struggle again in 1918 with the Red SoX and became cogs in the Yankee pennant machine in 1921.
 This years series will be the fifth for two other Yankees, Everett Scott, veteran shortstop, and Carl Mays, pitcher.
 Dave Bancroft, captain and short- stop of the Giants, has had more se- ries experience than any other mem Der of the worlds champions. He was with the pennant winning Phila- delphia Nationals in 1915, in addition to the three triumphant Giant ma chimes

BLANFORD, IND, Jan. 29.-Three
persons were killed near here early
today and several were wounded
when Sheriff Harry Newland attempt
ed to investigate the firing of several
shots at two negro storekeepers. The
fight started when the sheriff and his
two deputies entered dance hall

started an attack and one of the
merrymakers opened fire.
The dead are Mike Yarich. Ben

The firing of the shots at the ne

of the trouble which started last week
when the citizens of this city warned
all negroes to be out of town by noon
Saturday unless the negro who at
tackled an 1l-year-old girl was turned
over to them. The man who attacked
the girl was not captured and the
majority of the negroes fed.
