Meanwhile, a State investigation is
under way of the affairs of the bank,
which closed its doors Saturday. Gov
ernor McCray formerly was president
of the institution.
The Governor still was out Of the
city and persons close to him cor
tinued their refusal to tell where ne
is. His absence led to persistent
rumors that he was dead.

Charles W. Moores, special
prosecutor in charge OF the Marion

McCray's affairs, still was confined to
his home by illness. At his home it
was said he was much better. but
that the date for resumption Of the

In connection with ths probability
of a Federal investigation. Elliott
dictated this brief statezzktt:
In view of the clostu ot tha bank
and the assertions made by some OF
its present oficerss in All probability

"I am not going TO say another
word about<it," he declared.

The Discount and Deposit State
Bank is a Federal reserve depository
eral as well as State Jurisdiction.
The investigation, II any, is expected
to be made by agents working diract-
ly under the Department of Justice
at Washington.
William Darroch. president OF the
bank, said the situation, concerning
that institution is unchanged.
II have no idea when the bank viii
be reopened," ne said.
Darroch said, when the bank was
closed, that it was closed for reorgani-
zation. Thomas D. Barr and Elmer
Johnson, State bank examiners, are
in charge of the investigation of the
banks affairs.
The bank had a large amount Of
McCray paper, but it was understood
this was taken care of through the
pool headed by James P. Goodrich.
Twenty Three Suits, New Total
1t is. alleged in the bankruptcy pc
Gtion now pending in Federal Court
against McCray that the bank was
made a preferred creditor. II tho
bankruptcy action is successful, 1t is
believed the payment of money TO the
bank viii be declared an act of bank
ruptcy. Under these circumstances
the bank is in a position to lose heay-
lily.
1t is understood the closing OF the
bank resulted from the Withdrawal OF
deposits. including 100000 of State
money, since that institution became
storm center in the McCray tangie.
Two more suits on notes have been
filed. against McCray at Kentland.
One for $4,000 was field by the Della

brings the total of suits to twenty
three and the amount involved to
$116,000.

SIXTH GAME OF

BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-For the first
time in three years John McGraw
found the historical wall and not the
Yankees at his back, when he as
sembled his athletes for few words
today
All the little Napoleon OF the Ma.

in the way of a plea for his men to
get busy and keep the Yankees from

that old moral litter
MY men, you are still the cham
pions.p
Seconds tell fighters that when they
are out in their corners. and some
times it fans the spark back Into a
fame. Maybe the Giants can be
famed back into the race by the
fiery tongue of McGraw.
Oficial announcement that the sixth
game was '.op" was made today at
noon by Giant officials.
James Tierney. secretary of the
Giants looked over the playing field at
the Polo Ground and conferred with
Judge Lands over the telephone tell
ing him the field was in good condi-
ton.

the gates.

which the Yanks took by the lop-sided
score of s to l came in the second in
ming. With two on bases. Joe Dugan
lined to riCht-centerf1eld. Stengel. max
ing desperate running attempt for a
iick-up, came in fast.
Young Pulls Boner
Young should have cut over back Of
Stengel to support him II he failed to
stop the ball. Instead Young went
after the bali, they both missed and
fell out of their stride when they al
most collided. Then they had to turn
end chase the ball TO the fence, Dugan
getting. a home run. That stroke
knocked off Jack Bentley and he had
TO be removed from tie box.
The same kind of 8erratic fading
pulled by Irish Meusel and Stengel in
the first mining allowed Bob Meusel
to get a triple and knock in two runs.
There isn't much to explain in yes
terday's game. The Yanks simply
picked up their bats, walked to the
plate and slapped them out.
Nehf Last Hope
McGraw will take a desperate
chance today and send Arthur Nehf
back in to stop the rush of the
Yankees. If Nehf should tie the
series again, the plight of the Giants
would be just as bad because Nc.
Graw would have to send Mule Wat
son back in the seventh and decid-
ing game.
