ITS NOW OR NEVER TODAY
 WITH ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
 AS THEY OPPOSE YANKEES
HARTFORD FANS EARLY ARRIVALS AT STADIUM McCreary, Maher and Stephenson First Auto-
 ists Getting in Line

New York, Oct. P-Clear skies and bracing air, more suita ble for football than baseball, greeted fam dom today for the sixth games of the world series.
 The weather man said the sun would make things a little more comfortable for the spectators by the time the umpires shouted play ball." but the early arrivals at the stadium took no chances, bunglng themselves in sweaters and over coats.
 Chattering with the cold, fl faith ful fans stood at the gates of the stadium at dawn awaiting for seats in the bleachers. Fifth in line was pr. Samuel Olgrin, a trading post keeper from Fort Edward, Canada, who was wrapped in blanket. The lllSl dulOIlODlle dTTlEdlS were RODert McCreary. Harold Maher and Her bert Stephenson. of Hartford, Conn.
 The first woman in line was Mrs. Thomas Cogan of New York, who arrived at dawn with her husband, an old semi professional player who played here SC years ago with the late Charles F. Murphy, Tammany chieftain. Another early arrival was John Green, an engraver at the mint at Washington, who has not missed a game of the series.
 To relieve the monotony, the crowds sang old time melodies, Sweet Adeline" and "The Sidewalks of New York" being the favoritcs. Hot dog vendors and walters serv- ing steaming hot coffee did a big business. By g o'clock, 2,O00 fans were in line.

WARRANTS ISSUED FOR
 CURB PUMP OWNERS
Harry Alex and Nathan Google to Appear
 in Court

Declaring his intention to enforce the ordinance prohibiting the main tenance and use of gasoline pumps on the city streets. Prosecuting At torney J. G. Woods today issued warrants for the arrest of Harry Alex and Nathan Googel, the only local dealers who have not obeyed the ordinance, according to the po- lice.
 There Is no reason why these men should do business on the pub lie streets when there is an or dinance which prohibits them from 30 doing" MT. Woods said. "All other dealers removed their pumps, some of them even being obliged to obtain new locations for their bus mess. I intend to prosecute both and insist on obedience to the or dinance."
 Several months ago MT. Alex, who conducts an automobile accessory business at as Arch street, was ar rested by the state police on the charge of selling gasoline without a license. It developed that his license had not been renewed by the state commissioner of motor vehicles, but when he was arraigned in police court. his counsel, Attorney Donald Gaffney, said an appeal from the re- fusal of the commissioner to renew the license had been taken In su- perior court, so the prosecution was dropped.
 Meanwhile, the police say, Mir. Alex and Mir. Googel have been selling gasoline from curb pumps, the latter having a place of bueincss at 513 East street. Hyman Gitla- vitz, who was the first dealer to be arrested for violation of the or dinance. had his pump removed and Judgment was suspended in his case this morning.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said today that the appeal of MT. Alex from the refusal of the commissioner to renew his license has no bearing on the violation of the city ordi- rnrce. IIn noints ont that even if a license is is7ued, the curb pump cannot be used.

FinIay denied he had a drink on Sunday. Saturday night he @had two drinks Of near beer in store. His companions did not have any thing to drink in his presence and in his opinion they were not intoM- cated. The three police officers and Mir. Eichstaedt must have been mis- taken when they said he and the others were intoxicated, he said.
 William Shaw, a member of th,, fire department, testified that the three men were intoxicated when he saw them at the scene Of the acci- dent.
 Attorney Colon contended that a man may be intoxicated in an auto mobile and yet be immune from arrest unless he is driving or mak- ing a nuisance of himself. In this respect an automobile is similar to an abode, he contended. He believ- ed Finlay had drink but was not intoxicated.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w NJ. Greenstein said the statement of Attorney Colon that his client had been drinking after the latter's de- nial of the charge was most un- usual.
 The contention of the defense at torney that an automobile is in the same category as an abode under the law is an entirely new claim, MT. Greenstein said. He did not concur in this contention. An au tomobile is travelling machine and when gasoline is mixed with liquor as appears to have been done in this case, an automobile becomes a dangerous machine, he remarked.
 There is no question that the men were on a roustabout party. Green stein continued, and intoxicated drivers are a menace and should be punished.
 Judge filling said the lemon soda which one of the men said had been mixed with the liquor had evidently run out and left the whisky inside, judging by the odor.
 He believed that all of the men had been drinking, yet they came into court and denied it. There was no question in his mind that Finlay was not in fit condition to drive a car. He imposed a fine Of s100 and costs and sentence of 10 days in jail in Finlay's case, and 8 sentence of 10 days in jail in each of tho other cases.
 Attorney Colon asked that bonds for an appeal he fixed, Judge Alling set the bond at $500 in Finlay's case and $200 in each of the other cases.
