the series, but there were flocks de-
serving the d. s. G. of baseball.
/. Foremost, perhaps, was 28 year
old Buck Harris, who out-thought,
out Figured and out-smarted that
well known master mind of baseball,
John McGraw. 1t can be said by
New Workers that all the brains in
the world on the bench will not
function where there is no pitcher
in the box, but Harris was as bad
off for a pitcher yesterday as was
McGraw.
Harris a Big Hero
Harris also handled team
through three games without the
,services of Roger Peckingpaugh, 4
star shortstop, backbone of tire team
and offense and defense, and in
yesterday S final game Bucky did
the finest job of jockeying with
pitchers that ever has been seen in
any series.
Harris, furthermore, practically
won three games by his own efforts
and labor. He is not a great hit
ter, if you judge by the, batting
averages, but he hit every time he
came to the plate in pinch dur
ing the series. He scored one run
yesterday with a homer and drove
in two others with single i'll the
toughest pinch that Il playing man
ager Gould face.
There were other candidates for
the crown of hero. George Mog-
ridge had part in pitching two
winning ball games and big Tom
Zachary, considered little before
the series, was credited with two
victories. Goose Goslin hit three
home runs.
The Giants had only one out
standing player-Frankie trisch,
who pulled som- of the greatest
plays ever seen in world S series.
Much to the surprise of every
one, the series made new record
for receipts and attendance. The
Washington ball park is only half
the size of the Yankee stadium,
where the American League end of
the series was played last year, but
Washington had more spectators
for four games than the Yankees
had last year.

Hank stepped into his mask,
which he had hurled to the base
line when he went after Muddy
Ruel's foul in the last inning. He
kicked the thing away and, then
stepped into it again and stumbled,
dropping the bali. Ruel, with his
life at the bat prolonged by Hank S
error, doubled and came i'll with
the run that made the master mind
of that well known John McGraw
look no good some more.
Ruel s punch in the pinch was
just as important as McNeely's and
lust as popular with the Washing
ton fans. Ruel is one of the idols
here and the city wept with him
when he went through six games
of the series without getting hit.
"That fellow is going to break

FOURTH SUSPECT
 HELD IN KILLING.
 OF COLUMBIANAN
Bob Merrill Latest Arrest Following Staying Of
 McElroy
COLUMBIANA, {

COLUMBIANA, Ala, July 13.- Especial. )-with the arrest of the fourth man, officers. believe they will soon clear up the staying of N. L. McElroy and the burning of his body few days ago near Calera, Ala.
 The latest man to be arrested in the case was Bob Merrill, who was lodged in the Shelby county jail here Saturdayt The three other previously arrested are Will Garden and son, who are also in jail here, and Reggie Lucas, who was taken to the county jail at Birmingham for safekeeping.
 Officials hold to the theory that Me Elroy was killed as q result of dis pute among moonshiners and consequent fear that McElroy might act as an in former.
 The body of McElroy after he was killed was placed in the water, officials believe, but the slayers later became fearful of detection and removed 1t to an outhouse which was set on fire. The body was identified by means of a ring. The hands and feet were said to have been tied by means of wire.
 Agent Tom Williamson of the state law enforcement department was sent here by Chief Walter K. McAdory at the request of Solicitor John J. Haynes and is working up the case.
 The four men maintain their inno- cence. They claim that they know nothing of the killing.

BURR TO TALK
 ON J. W. DAVIS
Glimpses As College Stu dent To Be Given Ex-
 change Club

A close up view of John W. Davis, democratic nominee for the presidency, will be given members of the Ex- change club when Borden H. Burr addresses that organization at the weekly luncheon in the ball room of the Tutwiler Monday Afternoon at 12 :15 o'clock.
 Mir. Burr will also discuss the recent democratic national convention and will give his impressions of that strenuous meeting as compared with other demo- cratic national conventions which he has attended.
 It was as classmate of John W. Davis at Washington and Lee univer- sity that Mir. Burr first knew the demo- cratic nominee and members of the Exchange club are keenly anticipating the address because of his close per sonal association with MT. Davis during their university careers.
 Mir. Burr has attended number of democratic national conventions and was one of the most active workers at the recent gathering in New York where he aided materially the Alabama delegation in behalf of Senator Under wood. Although lOyally supporting Mir. | O Virginia man as his choice after it was seen that Senator Underwood could not be nominated.
 As a member of the Alabama delega- ton at the democratic national con- vention in 1920 at San Francisco, Mir. Burr was active for Mir. Davis in the contest of that year when Cox and McAdoo fought with Mitchell Palmer for the nomination. The services rem dered MT. Davis at that time won ap- preciation of the present nominee.
 Plans for attendance of the Bir- mingham members of the Exchange club at the national convention of Exchange clubs in Nashville in September will be discussed at the meeting today, at which James A. Simpson, newly elected president, will preside. It is expected that delegations from more than 400 Exchange clubs in the United States will attend the Nashville convention and number of Birmingham men will make the trip in aeroplanes as guests of the local squadron.

Japanese Company Issues Apol-

TOKYO, Japan, July 13.-(By As- sociated Press.)-Feminine garrulity is one reason for the inefficency of the Tokyo telephone service. according to an apology issued recently by the municipal telephone bureau.
 The statement says that large pro- portion of all calls are by women to women, and moreover when two women are talking much of their con- versation is idle. To prove it's point the telephone bureau issued detailed statistics, the manner of compiling which it does not explain, to show how much time is wasted in various classes of telephone conversations.
 When a woman is talking to .a woman, it is claimed, 26.4 per cent of the talk is idle and unnecessary when woman calls man, the waste is 13.S per cent; when q man calls woman, it is only 9.7 per cent; when two men talk, 10.6 per cent.
