YANK BOSS.

SHOWER
BY Miller Higgins
Manager New York Yankees

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-The Cardi-
nails now have the edge in the
world series. And in defeating us
yesterday they showed some cork
ing baseball and uncovered a bat
ting attack that we knew they had
but which they hadn't shown before.
/ take off my hat to them, and in
particular I take off my hat to
Jess Haines, their pitcher. Maybe
Jess don't know it, but in shutting
US out yesterday, he accomplished
a feat which only three American
League pitchers were able to ac-
complish during the entire season.
But as a ball club we're not hand
ing all the credit to the Cardinals.
We got two bad breaks in that
game yesterday-two breaks that
cost us the ball game.
The first was when rain came
to give Haines a rest and a
chance to settle down, when we
were in the midst Of q rally.
Ruth \ as on second and Gehrig
at bat, you will remember. Haines.
was plainly nervous and a little
wild. Then came the rain-and
80 minutes rest.
Haines had chance to settle
down-and my hitters, when they
finally came up again, were handi-
capped by a wet, sloppy field, wet
ball and q streaky, overcast sky.
That was one. The other, and the
worst break Of the two, was the fact
that Mark Koenig had to throw a
wet, heavy ball from slippery foot
ing in pinch. I'm not blaming
Mark. He made great play on
that ball, and he did his best. But
weather conditions beat him, and
as a result the Cards scored three
runs and won the ball game in an
inning in which they should have
been retired without single run.
But that's baseball.
The field was just as slippery and
Just as wet for the Cardinals, but
fortunately for them their tough
spots all came before rain mar.
red the playing field.
And we're not offering any
aIibis. We were fairly beaten by
a club that played better ball
for that game. Today is a new
day, and q new start. I've got
a lot of faith in my players and
in my ball club. / believe we
have the ability to win games in
this series, and which is more,
expect to win games.
My men, experienced and hard
ened to defeat and slumps, aren't
discouraged in the least They are
confident Of victory; just as con-
fident as they were three days ago,
nh ga, g.
his masterpiece in the first game.
Today IN send Waite Hoyt to
the pitching mound. If it's a
heavy, gray day such as yester-
day Hoyt ought to be particularly
effective. He's a fast ball pitcher
and the fast ball is a particularly
effective weapon in cloudy weather.
And / know. too. that fast ball
pitchers have been effective against
the Cardinals all season long.
Hoyt has as good fast bali as
any man in the league. 1 see no
reason why he shouldn't come
through in great shape. So far
my sluggers haven't been hitting as
they should. Ruth and Meusel in
particular have been weak. L
don't give opposing pitchers all
he credit for this either. The
Cardinals as see it are not stop
ping the Babe and Bob.
These boys are stopping them
selves, and I am confident that
before the series ends they'll both
come out of it. When and if
they do, you'll see an entirely diff
ferent looking Yankee team out
there on the field.

| urgent need OF
| PLAYGROUND FOR
| NORTH END CHILDREN

The necessity for playground for
the children of the north end of the
city has been clearly demonstrated
since the close of school by the large
attendance of youngsters from the
Sand Hill district who have braved
the traffic of Water street to get to
the Macomber playground, where
they might enjoy the many facilities
provided for the children of the city.
On one day alone there We're be-
tween so and 20 from the north end
in attendance at the playground, and
this Is undoubtedly but a small per-
centage of the number that would at
tend a playground that was Situated
within comfortable distance Of their
homes.
The Macomber playground is at
times quite congested because of the
large attendance which is being
chalked up, 600 children enjoying the
activities at the playground last
week. The number will show an in
crease for several weeks this summer
before reaching the maximum, and
if a place were provided for the
north end children it would also re-
lieve the load which Is taxing the
present playground to the utmost.
Director Jack Hyde has been talk
ing of the necessity for another
playground and several public
spirited people agree fully with him
that there is a crying need for an
other recreation place in the north
ern section of the city, where the
children may enjoy themselves
without taking dangerous chances IN
getting to and from the playground.

Amnesia Victim
Identifies Self
At Maiden Hospital

Maiden, Mass, June 2S-(P)-An
amnesia victim who spoke in Gaelic
French, Swedish and German, but
whose identity had remained a mys-
terry since last Thursday. identified
himself at Maiden Hospital today as
John Patrick O'Gorman of Clifton
Station, Va
The veil that has obscured the
mans past was temporarily brushed
aside today through the efforts of DR.
e. F. Connolly. O'Gorman said he
was 80 years old and that he had a
child at Clifton Station.
O'Gorman was found last Thurs
day night lying on a sidewalk near
Belle Rock Cemetery The only
means of Identification were tattoo
marks and a knights of Columbus
ring. An X-ray showed a bone plate
in his skull, apparently placed there
after fracture several years ago.
DR.. Connolly, a former newspaper
man, questioned O'Gorman today
about different cities and named per-
sons he knew in these cities. The
line of questioning seemed to awak-
en- the patieNt's dormant memory. He
could not remember how he came to
Maiden but thought he had been
away from home two weeks. He
thought his condition was due to a
head wound suffered in the war, fol
which he underwent an operation al
Johns Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore
three years ago. When he complain
ed of pains in his head questioning
was stopped.

Women Injured
More Seriously
Than First Reported

It was reported last evening that
Mrs. William Young. the aged wo-
man who was struck on Saturday
night by an automobile driven by
George Griffith and who was taken
to the Augusta General hospital had
not fully recovered consciousness,
and that she was severely injured.
1t has also developed. it is under
stood, that Mrs. Stanley Croker
who was with her was more seri-
ously injured than was at first ex-
pected, it being now believed that
she suffered internal injuries as well
as severe bruises.
Mrs. w. L. Bergman, niece Of
Mrs. Young and sister of Mrs.
Croker, stated last evening that
Mrs. Crocker and Mrs. Young did
not step in front of the automobile
as was first reported but that they
had started to walk across Western
Avenue at the junction with Sewall
street, after having satisfied them
selves that they had sufficient time
to cross in front of an automobile
which Mrs. Croker estimated to be
up by the Wyman residence. Sud-
denly they say a. light coming from
behind them and then they were hit
by the auto. They could not see
where it came however and could
not tell II 1t was the one they had
seen up Western Avenue or not.

Evangelist Says
Fallen Angel Cause
Of Her KIDNAPPING

Los Angeles. June 2S-(P)-While
the District Attorney and police to-
day studied mass of information on
the alleged abduction of Aimee Sem
pie Mcpherson, pastor of the million
dollar Angelus Temple here, the
Evangelist's congregation Is contem-
plating her assertion that Satan" is
responsible for her unfortunate ex-
perience.
Addressing more than 1000 persons
Yesterday in her first sermon at the
temple, Mrs. Mcpherson said that be-
cause of her unyielding stand On
moral questions Satan plotted her
destruction" She said she had
laughed at newspaper accounts of re-
puted plots to kidnap her prior to her
disappearance last May but that she
now realized that even then the dew
II was laying his plans"
Mrs. Mcpherson recounted her ad-
ventures in two sermons yesterday.
She devoted most of the evening ad-
dress to answering criticisms that
have been made relative to her story
that she was kidnapped.
She told of being kept in a desert
shack near Auga Prieta. Mex, and
OF her recovery at hospital in Doug
las, Ariz., after a 20-mile hike across
the desert.
While making no reference to the
absence of sunburn after her long
tramp across the desert. the Evan
gelist told how, fleeing from her cap
tors, she used part of her clothing as
a protection from the sun. She said
her clothing and shoes showed no
signs of wear from cactus and other
desert growth.
The Evangelist had promptly re-
covered from her experience, deliver
ing two sermons with her accustomed
vigor.
Photographs have been taken of a
desert shack similar to that describ-
ed by the Evangelist as her desert
prison and are understood to be en-
route here for identification. on
GERS who found the shack Saturday
said they tracked a person wearing
Soles like Mrs. Mcpherson wore. to
within short distance of the struc-
ture. They also reported finding
strands of tape similar to that the
Evangelist said was used to tie her
feet and hands.

Crew of Burned
Schooner Falmouth
Reach Halifax, N. S.

HallfaX, N. s., June 2S.-(P(-
Twelve members of the crew of the
Gloucester fishing schooner Falmouth,
which was burned off Sable Island last
Wednesday, We're landed here today by
the Canadian fishing schooner Eucille
Smith. The entire crew of the Fall
mouth has now been accounted for.
The Falmouth was abandoned on
fire "a miles off Sable Island last
Wednesday. Captain Carlson and
eight members of his crew reached the
island in dories. but the remaining IL
fishermen were lost in the fog. 1t was
believed at the time that they had
been picked up by one of the Lunen-
burg fishing vessels known to have
been in the vicinity. but as the days
passed fears for their safety were en-
tertained.
Those rescued by the schooner Luz
ellie Smith and brought here were
Scott Dorsey, Lenord Sans Juker, Os-
car Holmes, Jules and John Amirault,
Lester Scholes. John Forrestall, John
O'Neil. Dan Nelson, Cecil Hamilton,
John Goodick and John Hickey.
The Falmouth was owned by the
United Fisheries Company Of Glouces-
ter, Mass.
The men were taken on board the
Lunenburg schooner few hours after
they had set out in their dorios from
the burning Falmouth. A dense fog
which settled down soon afterward
over the fishing grounds prevented
them from communicating with other
vessels and it was not until this morn
ing that the schooners of the South
Shore fleet began making port.
Anxious watch was kept at all the
fishing ports ZIP and down the coast,
Lunenburg, Malone, La Have, River
port and Liverpool. and as each vessel
appeared in the harbor it's crew was
questioned. The first word came
when schooner arriving at Liverpool
reported that the missing men had
been taken on board the Lucille Smith
and were to be landed at Canso. A
few minutes later the vessel put into
harbor here.

More Range Added to
Canadian Buffalo Park

Ottawa, June n - Up Buffalo,
once thought approaching extinction,
are increasing so rapidly in Canada
that it has been found necessary to
give them more room. An addition
of $500 square miles has been made to
the great area of natural buffalo
range partly in the Northwest Terri
tories and partly in Alberta known as
Wood Buffalo Park.
This park now has a total area of
1900 square miles. 1t extends 175
miles from north to south and $50
miles from east to west at Its widest
point. The new section contains
some of the best buffalo grazing
lands in the North.
A number Of animals from the 1884
shipped North in the summer of 1925
from Buffalo National Park at Vain
wright, Alberta, spent part of last
winter in that locality, returning
north to the main herd in the spring.
They were not molested while outside
the park boundaries, but as the SUI
pervision of the wardens is more
complete when within established
limits 1t was thought advisable to ex-
tend the park to take in this territory.
Provision has been made in the
park regulations to permit Treaty"
Indians who have hunted other forms
of game in that area continuation
Of that privilege. Half-breeds and
whites who have hunted and trapped
in the recently added portion also will
be allowed to continue their opera
lions under permit from the park
superintendent. THE molesting of
buffalo in any way will not be per-
mitted.
The department OF the interior is
continuing the experiment begun last
year to take care of the annual in
crease in the herd of more than 5000
buffalo in Buffalo National Park, A
further shipment to the northern pre-
serve will be made this summer.
The work of segregating the ami
mails at Wainwright was carried on
during the minter months and with
the corrals used last year still in po-
sition there will be little delay in be-
ginning operations. 1t is expected
that the first trainload of $50 buffalo
will leave Wainwright tomorrow on
the rail journey to the end of steel at
Waterways. At this point the ami
mails will be unloaded into corrals.
After a rest of "a to SO hours they.
will be placed on barges for the trip
down the Clear Water, Athabaska
and Slave rivers to their new homeo
They will be unloaded by means oJ
chutes or enclosed runways at poin
about six miles north of Fitzgerald. A
The buffalo shipped North last yeac
are reported to be doing wei
and are well established in the nela
park. Only eight animals were lost / b
last years movement and every pre-
caution is being taken to have tn \
summers shipments carried out wi t
equal success. A
