will speak at the opening session to-
morrow, said he did not care to dig
Nifty the charges that groups invited
TO the conference were reactionary
and communiStic by denial. Other
than this the Secretary had nothing

ference.
Miss Anderson. who will preside at

The various reports regarding the al
legged radical activities of delegates
to the meeting, but she believed they
were all ridiculous.
She said the Labor Department had
been advised President Harding VIII

conference, unless some pressing pub
lie business keeps him from attending.
In that case he will probably send

YANKEE ATTACK
CRUSHES GIANTS
IN FOURTH GAME
Used by Huggin S
Bunch Over Giants Jams
Champions Into Dust.

POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. 13. - The Yankees ferried a
steam roller over the Harlem River
today and put the crusher firmly,
but not gently, on the Giants. The
National League Champions, and
present Worlds Champions, were
fattened out by a score of 8 to 4,
the Yankees knockout out of the
box two Of the Giants star slab
sters, Scott and McQuillan. while
Shawkey held the Giants in check
until the eighth when he weakened
and was replaced by Pennock.
By winning today's game the YAM
KEGS again tied the series score,
which stands Giants two, Yankees
two.
WIN IN SECOND.
The American League Champions
put the game on ice in the second
inning when they put six runners
across the plate ON five hits, two
neat sacrifices and an error con-
tributed by Deacon Scott, who with
Ryan, was chased to the showers
under the heavy onslaught Of the
Yankee attack.
McQuillan, who took up the bur-
den after Ryan was taken out Of
the box. held the Yankees to two
runs, enc each in the third and
fourth, until the end Of the seventh.
He was token out fs'r pinch hitter,
Bentley, in the eighth. Jonnard fin.
irhed the eighth without injury and
was also relieved by Jimmy 0'Con-
nell, pinch hitting. Barnes held
the Yanks hitless and runless in
the ninth.
SHAWKEY KNOCKED OUT.
After hclding the Champions run.
less up to the end of the seventh,
Shawkey weakened in the eighth
and after three runs had been
scored on him and with the bases
filled, Huggins took him out. sending
Penn0ck to stop the Giants rally.
Pennock forced Frisch to fly to Scott
at short for the third out.
The Giants scored their final run
in the ninth when Pep Young the
first man up, slammed one of Pen
nock's slants into the rightfield
stands.
Today's game is the last in which
the players get a share OF the re-
ceipts. It is estimated that the re-.
ceipts will rass 500, 900 and shares
for individual players break all
records under the new system.
