THOUSANDS SAW BALL GAMES HERE
Herald Playograph Furnishes
 Thrills for Baseball Fans

Audiences ranging from 5000 to 4,5OO persons witnessed the Herald Playograph report of the. seven games of the world series which was brought to a close yesterday with Washington's victory over the Giants,
 A conservative estimate places the number of persons who watched the mechanical reproduction of the baseball classic in front of the Her aid building at 25,OOO. The opening game one week ago today shattered attendance records at announcement of sporting events from this news paper office and on Sunday the at tendance was almost as great. The greatest enthusiasm was indicated durtng the closing game yesterday when close to $500 men, women and school boys stood through 12-in- nings of hard fought game and predicted, applauded or sighed when the white sphere was sent into mo- ton and the play enacted a matter of seconds before in Washington, was reenacted before their eyes.
 Throughout the series the police department blocked traffic between Main street and railroad square on Church street and the department handled the huge crowds in com mendable fashion.
 Church street merchants are said to have suffered financially because of the blockading of the street, but they were good natured about 1t and joined the thousands in the applause at the thrilling plays.
 Throughout the series, the Asso- ciated Press telegraph instrument at the Herald was hooked up direct ly with the scene of action.
 The Playograph will be used again next year in bringing the world series to New Britain.

BRITISH CAMPAIGNS
 ARE NOW UNDER WAY
Political Orators Holding Sway, Preparatory to Elections
 On the 29th.

London, Oct. 11.-Speechmaking in the campaign which is to end in general election on Oct. 29 is all ready under way. At meeting in Glasgow last night Sir John Simon, compared the attitude of the Ram say Macdonald government in mak- ing capital issue out of the propos- cd inquiry into the withdrawal of the proceedings against communist editor with the attitude of bridge player who when asked why he had revoked. immediately kicked over the table and demanded a new deal. Such action, commented Sir John, naturally increased the suspicion which had been entertained by his fellow players.
 The governments action in pre- cipitating an election, however, went deeper than that, said Sir John. The government did not dare to go any farther towards pledging the British taxpayer to responsibility for the loan to Russia.
 Winston Churchill, speaking at Loughton. also criticised the Russian loan. He thought MT. Macdonald must be false to his kin if he ex- pected Britain to send money to pay for ammunition which the Bolshe- vists had used in shooting down the people of Georgia, in the Caucasus.
