 Walter Johnson

New York, Oct. 7.-ChristX Math- ewson, former pitching idol of the New York Giants, has selected an All-American baseball team.

The series count is now three games to one in Baltimore's favor, with five tri- umphs necessary to carry off the series.

BASEBALL WRITER'S ARE VOW PICKING GIANTS FOR TITLE

The Giants apparently made 1t safe in their half by scoring run on hits by Jackson and Gowdy and a sacrifice fly by Ryan. The usual ninth-inning rally of the under-dog in this series followed.
 Harris began 1t by profiting by the only Giant fielding mistake of the Game--a mlXup in the short left cen- ter which allowed his fly 10 go safe. Gosln fooled the opposition by dumping bunt and beating 1t out, after Rice had popped, Judge came through with a hit which filled the sacks. Jonnard relieved Ryan, promptly walked Bluege, forcing in Harris, and promptly left the game. Watson forced Miller to pop and Lndstrom took Ruel's grounder and ended the game by forcing Judge at third.

SECTIONAL GAMES SLATED THIS WEEK
Brown Vs. Chicago and Yale Ys,
 Georgia Are Events

New York. Oct. Flour intersec- tional battles will feature next Sat urday's eastern football card. The two most important of these strug- gles will be those between Brown and Chicago at Chicago and Yale and Georgia at New Haven.
 The Brown eleven will go to Chi cago flushed with confidence inspir- ed by its 45 to victory over Colby and Yale will await Georgia's inva- sion with the sef-assurance born of her easy triumph over another southern team, North Carolina, by a 27 to 0 score Saturday. The Army will meet the University of Detroit at West Point and Syracuse will face William and Mary at Syracuse in the other two interregional contests.
 Of the sectional battles, those in which Pittsburgh clashes with West Virginia at Pittsburgh, and Prince ton takes on Lehigh at Princeton promise to furnish the most excite ment for gridiron enthusiasts. In spite of 10 to 0 defeat at the hands of Lafayette while West 'Vir- ginia was riding rough-shod over AL legheny by 36 to margin satur- day, Pittsburgh will engage the southern institute Saturday with more than an even chance of vic tory. The Partners were at a dis advantage in having to meet. SC strong a team as Lafayette thus ear ly in the season.
 Princeton will face Lehigh a strong favorite, as the Tigers buried Amherst under 40 to 6 score while Lehigh was hard pressed to defeat Gettysburg by 12 to 0.
 Other matches of interest on Sat urday's slate are: Harvard and Mid dlebury at Cambridge, Columbia and Wesleyan at New York, Penn State and Gettysburg. at State College Pa, Cornell and Williams at Ithaca Carnegie Tech and Toledo at Pitts burgh. Dartmouth and Vermont al Hanover, Pennsylvania and swarth- more at Philadelphia. and Holy Cross and Boston University at Wor- cester.

LATEST SCANDAL MAY ET
 BECOME NEW TEAPOT DOME
YALE'S LINEUP IS
 CHANGED AROUND
Coach Not Satisfied With Teams
 Progress

New Haven, Oct. 7.-Yale coaches expressed the measure of their dis satisfaction with the poor showing of the eleven against North Carolina Saturday, by geenral shakeup. In the backfield Eddie Bench, who has been fullback since the season open- cd, was stationed at quarterback. The game displayed by Louis Wien ecke and Phil Bunnell has not met expectations and Jerry Wadsworth has not recovered fully from his re- cent injury. Dan Allen, freshman captain two seasons ago. replaced Bench at fullback.
 Allen is a former Andover star. Jack Fielding, last of four fullbacks tried against the Tar Heels. was giv- en Cottle's left halfback berth. Pond alone of the regular backfield was left. Duke Richards, freshman rush line star of last season, went into the varsity lineup. replacing Johnny Joss at left tackle. Joss had won first string selection at tackle two seasons ago when he was in. jured, He was out of condition last season and, although kept as regular tackle this season, has failed to check opponents as defensive player. H. c. Sturham, freshman center last year, replaced Wallace, who was tried in that position Saturday.
 For the signal and dummy foot ball lineup which constituted the matinee performances of the first team, it lined up as follows: Ends, Luman and Bingham; tackles, But terworth and Richards: guards, Ec- kart and Sturham: center, Captain l.ovejoy; quarterback, Bench; half- backs, Pond and Failing; fulback, Allen. This is the propable lineup against Georgia Saturday.

ANOTHER HORSE IN
Chilhowee Shows Fast Time-Wtll Take Part in Special S50,O00 Race on Saturday Afternoon.

Latonia, Ky, Oct. 7-Another can didate qualified yesterday for the S50,O00 international special race, in which Epinard, French champion thoroughbred vii meet the pick of Amcrica's runners over d distance Of a mile and quarter next Saturday.
 Gallehcr Brothers Chilhowee, in deefating Wise Counsellor, winner of the first international event, and Graeme, at one mile and a sixteenth, covered the distance of 1:42 4-5 after galloping the first six furlongs under restraint. The colts time was one fifth of a second faster than the La tonia track record, established by Actuary at the spring meeting.
 Epinard was out on the track and breezed a mile in 1;42 Is. Trainer Leigh made no effort 10 push the French colt, but probably will work him over the entire special distance tomorrow. I.adkin, winner of the second international race worked the full mile and quarter in 2:05 4-5. Indications are that no less than a dozen horses will go 10 the post in the big event on Saturday.

This Is What Ban Johnson Thinks, if Government Will Only Take Up In. vestigation of Alleged Crookedness - Believes O'Connell's Story.

Chicago, Oct. '. - If the United States government steps in and makes a law providing for federal jurisdiction over baseball, as has been suggested, the present baseball scandal may develop Into another Teapot Dome, President Ban John son, of the American league, is quoted as saying in special dis patches received here from Excel sior Springs. Mo-, where he has gone for his health. His statement was made while referring to the expul- sion of Jimmy O'Connell and Cozy Dolan of the New York Giants.
 Asked if he would work with Commissioner K. M. Landis in the latter's plan to clean up baseball, President Johnson said:
 "No indeed. Landis quit on the investigation when we were trying to bring the crooked White Sox players to trial. The American league accomplished that alone and there was a lot of work to 1t.
 "The facts of this later scandal must be exposed and all the guilty ones punished or the game of base ball is in danger of being wrecked. shall demand that the entire mess be aired. The public demands it. There have been other cases of crooked baseball this season. not in the American league, but plenty of ' it elsewhere. Not many people know 1t but conditions on the Paci- ic coast have been rotten this year. Most of the sure-thing gamblers who were mixed up in the scandal of 1919 are out there operating. l found that as much as s10o,000 had been bet on single game in Los Angeles.
 | You know as well as I do and the public knows that Jimmy O'Con- nell's story rings with truth. There certainly were others involved in that attempt to bribe an opposing player to throw a ball game. The thing should have been thoroughly cleaned up rigbt there. The Giants should never have been allowed to go into the world series, but Landis was content to banish two players, one of whom confessed. He simply hushed up the scandal and by so do- ing has protected the real culprits.
 T could not work with Landis in cleaning up this mess. It must be done by unbiased parties. Landis seems to be very close to McGraw and the New York ball club. can- not see where I could get results working with him."

Even before the signing of the Lon

restoring the 26 per cent tax on Ger

Both these measures will inevitably

German exports was originally an in

which was to force German pay

collect at the source 26 per cent of
all exports sent into allied countries,
leaving it to the German government
to reimburse the exporters. This the
German government failed to do, and
the result was that when Mr.. Mac
Donald took Office, almost his first
act was to reduce the tax to 8 per

that England now controls most Of
