DEMOCRATIC National leaders
who have had their hands full for
some years, attempting to drive in a
single hitch the wet Democrats of
the North and the dry Democrats of
the South, have a new trouble on
their hands. Ever since Senator,
Caraway, before sailing for Europe,
issued his pronounciamento against
AL. Smith, the idol of the New York
Democracy, as an impossible Presi-
dental candidate, topic which the
solid Democrats in Alabama, Miss
issippi and other states have since
been developing over night, the DEM
ocratic national leaders are fear
some that the attempt to run the
North and the South in a harmoni-
GUS double hitch becomes almost
hopeless.

ONE hundred million dollars has
been Topped off of the government
estimate for the new fiscal year by
the President. Even with this re-
duction the nation will spend during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1925
some fifty-fve millions more than it
had expected to spend in the current
fiscal year. However, responsibility
for this increase rests with Congress
which passed an appropriation for
the Spanish War Veterans amounting
to thirty-six million; for the Veter-
ans Bureau, eighteen million; and
sixteen million for the Civil Service
Retirement Act. In connection with
these measures, it should be said
that the President signed them after
Congress passed them, and has no
desire to avoid responsibility. The
President stands for economy and
savings, but in the brOadest sense.
Economy which will provide the
means and wherewithal for con-
structive spending. That is the goal
towards which he is aiming in which
he is sustained by the people of the
country at large.

BONEHEAD PLAY MADE
BY LAZZERI COSTLY
(By The Associated Press)

A bone" by Lazzeri, Yank second
sacker, cost the New YCrkers run
in the second inning of the fifth game.
Gehrig was on third and Lazzeri on
first, with one out, when Dugan raped
to Hornsby. Lazzeri, instead of slow
ing up, ran into Hornsby, permitting
to first to complete a snappy double
play.
Sherdel worked slow curves on Ruth
in the Babes first two turns at bat,
getting the Yankee sluger on a
rounder to Hornsby in the first. The
rest of the Yanks found the Card
southpaws loop the loop ball just as
hard to straighten out in the early in
nings.
Pennock got a double in the sixth
on poetic justice" He belted the ball
to left after Sherdel had tried to slip
over a third strike on a snap throw.
Then Hafey misjudged the ball and it
sailed over his head. Pennock was
saved again a moment later when
Thevenow fumbled O'Farreps throw as
the Yank pitcher was caught off base.
In the midst of the Yank rally in the
SIXTH SherdeI suffered an injury to
the index finger of his pitching hand,
catching return toss from O'Farrell.
He resumed his work, however, after
receiving first aid and retired the side
with the bases full.
The cheers that greeted each of
Ruth's home runs yesterday were moth
ing as compared to the outburst that
greeted the Babe when Sherdel struck
him out in the sixth with two Yanks
on base.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.--(APj-A prom
Use of fair and warmer weather was
New York's greeting tonight for the
returning worlds series teams. due to
arrive tomorrow afternoon for renewal
of their battle at Yankee stadium on
Saturday.
SKIES will be blue and sunny for the
sixth game, forecasts the weather man.
while there were indications that an
other throng of $4,000 would witness
the game, If seventh game is nee
essary on Sunday, the entire seating
and standing room capacity will go on
general sale.
Today's victory established the Hug
men in the series at to and to 1.
Although one Wall street firm re-
ported a wager of $4,000 to $4,000 that
the Yankees would win the sixth game,
better commissio ners were offered no
better than even money, owing to the
fact that Grover Cleveland Alexander
was expected to pitch for the National
league team.
Billion Dollars Bet
If the Cardinals succeed in tieing the
count at three games each on Saturday,
cold, calculating baseball men an
nounced that the ST. Louis team would
be heavily backed to win the cham

on the Yankee roster to beat Jess
Haines in the final melee on Sunday,

jim Wires Friend

Baseball and the runners are Mr..
Donnellys two favorite pastimes. While
he likes the fight game, his knowledge
of the sport is limited. On baseball
and racing he is something of an au-
thority.
Some years ago Mr.. Donnel1y met
Jim Gorbett. The former heavyweight
champion was doing a vaudeville stunt
in ST. Louis, Mr.. Donnelly's home, town.
Royalty entertained by Mr.. Donnelly,
a close friendship sprang up between
the two. 1t has been further cemented
by the victory of Gene Tunney.
About week before the fight Mr..
Donnelly received a wire from Corbett
telling him that Tunney was in great
shape and that while he might not
be able to knock out Dempsey, he would
Icertainly take down the decision.
Mr.. Donnelly showed the wire to sev-
eral of the sports editors of ST. Louis,
also some of his more intimate friends
and the answer from all of them was
the same:
"Corbett never picked winner in
his life.'

In an evenly matched and hard
fought game, the Neighborhood bowl
ing aggregation vanquished the pen
nant aspiring" Eleventh Streeters at
the "Y" alleys last night. The winners
gained four points as result OF TINS
victory. Meiser was the outstanding
star of the evening, appearing to be IN
the best of form Bowling for the
Neighborhooders, he influenced thier
victory by setting up the high score
and high total for the match, 178 and
45S. respectively. Cary, representing
the Eleventh Streeters, was also in the
limelight. "Dcc" was high man for
his team, having made 169 for high
score and 449 for high total.
The Mountain State Telephone team
failed to show up Tor their match with
the Bank of Douglas, thereby forfeit
ing four points to the money hand
lers." Perhaps the line was busy. High
man for the Bankers was Crowell, who
copped high score and high total with
his marks of las and S67.
Tonight's schedule will consist of a
the Y. M. c. A. huskies and the Ameri-
can Legion No. 2 doughboys. Advance
dope indicates that this will be riot
and battle royal all in one. There will
also be a fracas between the De Molay
quintet and the pin smashing Warriors.
This should be more excitement than a
barrel of monkeys. Bring your little
sisters big brother along. All games
commence at 1880 p. M, Rocky noun

Corbett Picked Winner

Jim Corbett finally broke his long
losing streak by picking the winner
of the Dempsey-Tunney fight. He was
strong for the challenger.
Tunney's victory over Dempsey, by
the way probably was the greatest
ring upset since Corbett himself won
from the mighty John L. Sullivan.
Corbett, since quitting the ring, has
turned to the stage and writing for
a livelihood and has been mighty sue
cessful at both, except for picking the
winners of championship contests.
In a sense. Corbett's selections have
become sort of a joke, since Jim has
invariably been on the, loser up to now.
Probably only one sport devotee in
the United States took Corbett's dope
seriously, that funney would defeat
Dempsey. That individual was Arthur
J. Donnelly, wealthy ST. Louis sports
man.
