CREDIT WHERE TT BELONGS

In commenting upon the great improvement in the highways of Alaska The Washington Post inadvertently gave credit to the Department of Agriculture instead of to the War Department which has charge of the con structon and maintenance of all the principal thorough fares of the Territory This oversight was noticed by Mr. Maurice D. Leehe of Seattle who is greatly interest ed in Alaska and who is now in Washington. To place the credit where it properly belongs Mr. Leehey wrote to The Post as follows:
 "In the editorial in The Post this morning under the caption The Call of Alaska is statement which is in accurate due undoubtedly to the natural supposition the part of the writer that all Federal road building is conducted by the Department of Agriculture Fortunate ly for Alaska the good roads division of that department has very little to do with the highways of the Territory The great work being performed the Richardson highway is under the jurisdiction of the army and it to the officers and engineers of the army that all the credit is due.
 The Richardson highway laid out and built by Col Wds F. Richardson He devoted many years to the selection of the trails and roads which of such vital importance to the growth and commerce of the Territory Work during the present is under the direct charge of Col James Gordon Steese
 As the forestry branch of the Department of Agri cutre that division has carried policy of suppress sion in the name of conservation which has retarded de- velopment for decade and which if continued will set back generation"

When Reinhart assembled the
mound in that fifth the Cardinals
were leading to 3. They had
scored three runs on four hits,
Koenig's boot and a sacrifice fly
by specs" Toporcer. They had
come from behind. They had
worked up their supporters into
a perfect frenzy, hardly a man in
that huge mob but believed the
Cardinals were about to ride into
their third victory. Then came
Reinhart, a tall, loosely built
southpaw.
Combs took a walk. causing
groans. Then koenig drifted
two-bagger into the right field
corner and Combs was over with
the tying run. But still the
fans were hopefully shouting their
encouragement to Reinhart. The
young left-hander, however,
wanted to be wild, and, by heck.
he was. He passed Ruth and
Meusel, filling the bases, then
franked Gehrig to first and forced
Ruth over the plate, putting the
Yankees in front. BY that time
the crowd was waxing nervous
and there We're shouts to Hornsby
to yank him out.

SPORT MAN'S PARK, ST.
LOUIS. Mo-. Oct. 7.-At last we've
come out of our hitting slump.
And now We'll win the world
series. That's as sure as fate. The
handwriting is on the wall.
I'm not taking anything away
from the Cardinals. They have
great ball club. a fighting ball club.
But don't believe there's a club
in the country could beat us when
we're pounding the ball.
The cause that looked hopeless as
hours ago, looks entirely different
now. From here out the burden
of the job rests on the Cardinals.
shown our teeth. We've taught
them to respect out hitting ability.
Now it's up to them.
There's little to be said about
that ball game yesterday. 1t was
simply a matter of base hits.
Some people may contend that
the st. Louis pitching was bad.
I don't think so. I believe that
the Yankees yesterday would
have whipped any pitcher in either
league. They just pounded the
ball out of the lot.
My part in the game was per-
haps a little more sensational than
some of the others. Getting three
home runs is always a feather in
a, chaps cap. And I'm proud and
pleased that l was able to do it.
But at the same time I'm remember
ing that while the balls I hit may
have travelled a bit further than
some of the others it was real
hitting by all the boys that really
brought the victory.
Gehrig and Combs hit, Lazerri
hit, Meusel hit, Hank SEVERED, who
hadn't got a safe one during the
previous three games, came through
with three blows. And as a Jesuit
we just swept the Cards off their
feet.
You may have noticed, too, that
the Yankees yesterday showed
some real baseball on the base
paths. We ran everything out,
we took chances, and that's the
spirit that wins ball games.
Now we've got all the best Of 1t.
One more game here and we go
back home to play on our own lot.
Pennock. who pitched so nobly in
that first game, has had plenty Of
rest and is ready to come back.
So is Shocker-and 1 figure Orb
IL a. sure cinch to best the Cards
when we open in New York again.
AS a matter of fact he pitched a
corking game against Alex in his
other start. The breaks were
against him. Just as they were
against all of us in these two
games we lost. But they don't go
that way always. Things always
even up in the long run-and
figure Shocker is due to win.

Too Tisklish for Bell

Out in the left-field bullpen
" Herman Bell had been warm
ing up, and at that juncture he
marched into the rubber. AS he
took charge of the situation the
Yanks were leading by one run,
nobody was out and the bases
were TANNED. A right ticklish
place for a much more expert
enced finger than Bell. 1t was
too ticklish.
Tony Lazzeris long fly to South
worth brought over Ruth and
while O'Farrell was tossing out
Dugan, Meusel skiddled over the
pan. BY that time chill silence
had settled down upon the huge
throng packing the park. st.
Louis fans take their baseball
seriously at all times, but their
first world series baseball is a
matter of life and death to them.
They could see their heroes being
sacrificed to the wildness Of a
young left-hander, Art Reinhart,
who proba bly, was shedding tears
at that very moment down in
the quiet Of the club house.
There was no more scoring in
that frame, but it ended with the
Yankees leading, Z to 4, and
something seemed to tell every
body that never again were the
Cards to catch their rivals that
day.
Yesterdays game was the first
in which the Cardinals did not
receive excellent pitching. AS it
was Flint RHEIMS work was not
so poor. Two home runs by Babe
Ruth and another caused by
collision between Hafey and
Douthit spell the entire damage
by the Yankees against Rhem.

PIT 7 PLAYS
PRICED FOE

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA foot
ball feud that Is only six years old,
but is already as intensely con
tested as any in the East, will be
renewed in the stadium here next
Saturday, when the University OF
Pittsburgh and Lafayette Colleg ?
elevens come to grips.
The yearly duel with the Leop-
ards is the only one in which the
Painters have lost more games
than IL 3Y have won. And singular.
Lafayette has had a Pitt graduate
as coach ever since relations be-
tween the two institutions were
established.
DIR. j. q. Sutherland, present
Pitt mentor, was in charge of
eleVens that met the Partners
from 1920 until 1923. When he
came to Pittsburgh the following
year his place was taken by g.
Herbert McCracken. who grad.
uated from the university i'm 1921.
During sutherland's reign at
Lafayette, the Leopards won two

IA to 0; Lafayette took the 1921
and 1922 games, to 0 and 7 to O.,
respectively. and In 1923 the Pan
theirs emerged victors. to O.
Since McCracken has been coach
ing at Easton. Lafayette has not
been defeated by Pitt. The 1924
contest was won. 10 to 0, and last
fall the Pittsburghers bowed, 20
to 9, after taking a 90 lead at the
end of the first half.

Race Secretary Jack Campbell

but he has added the Frederick

one and one-quarter miles, in an
effort to please the fans.
With fair weather and a fast

New York on Saturday. Both
teams, with their camp followers,
officials and war correspondents,
will rush away from here to-
night travelling all today, tomor-
row and arriving in the evening.
PennOck On Deck
HERB PENNOCK is practically
IL certain to pitch today for the
American Leaguers. He has lad
four days rest. That may prove
sufficient, but Higgins would
prefer that he had one more day
to rest and recover from his train
ride. Pennock doesn't endure
travelling very well, so it is whis-
pered. Pennock should pitch
good game, but it is unlikely that
he will come through with an
other three-hit victory, even If he
wins.
Pennock is the last resort Of
the American Leaguers, but
Hornsby can select his pitcher
today from between Wee Willie
Sherdel and Grover Cleveland
Alexander. Sherdel worked but
seven innings last Saturday.
Alexander did not overwork him
self Sunday in holding the Yanks
to four hits. The southpaw has
the call over Walter Johnson's
rival in age.
Sherdel VS.. Pennock today, with
Alexander VS.. Shocker for Satur'
days game in the Metropolis.
It may so happen that Alexander,
like Johnson in 1924. may prove
the factor. swinging the world title
to his team in the final contest
of the blue ribbon series.

 We esteemed and admired him m his professional and public work. But, after all, 1t was in the purely personal way that he was nearest to us. Our regard for him was tinged with per sonal affection, and we shall miss the kindly greeting, the good comrade- ship, the ever present geniality, and, above all else, the unfailing kindhness which always marked his association with us, his brothers at the Bar. Death called him when ripe in years. but up to the closing days of his life he nev- CT seemed old to us, who knew him and loved him so well.
 Resolutions Adopted
 It was voted that the resolutions be adopted.
 President King then said that t would be appropriate for brothers of the bar to say a few words Judge George E. Hinman WAS the first to speak.
 Judge Hinman
 Judge hinman said in part that it was eminently fitting on this occasion that not only the members of the bar should pay tribute to a distinguished member but that a word should be said on behalf of the bench before ,,.L..... NJ. C.arlg arpaarad 1n nfta and for so many years.
 'I want to say a personal word, said Judge Hinman. Tt will be twenty-seven years the 16th of next month that l first met Mir. Searls and we formed friendship that continu- ed and has grown until l came to re- gard him as one of my best personal friends. The effect of old intimates dropping away is an irreparable loss and is one of the surest reminders of the unfaiing march of time and that life is not uncertain but certain in its ultimate limitations.
 His were personal charms of char acter and manner familiar to all. Shall we ever forget the inimitable cordiality of his greeting. The slyly humorous congregation of the station or importance of his caller. His lac ulty of delightful conversation on an infinite variety of topics His fund of "reminiscences of the bench and bar of bygone days. His genuine de light in extending hospitality to his friends.
 Loyal to Friends
 "To me one of his most outstanding attributes in his personal relations was his unswerving loyalty to his friends. Truly, by him, once his adop- ton of friends was tested, and found worthy. he bound himself te them anl them to him by hooks of steel f friendship demanded that he 20 with one a mile. he invariably went with him twain.

 "He had advanced ideas and prae- tices in the trial of eases considering that his preparation and early prae- tice were in the days of bombastie and oratorical methods of trial. But these traits did not exist in. or at least. did not persist with him. It is not too much to say that judges throughout the state for years past have realized that more modern prac- tice in Windham county was largely due to his influence.
 Example to Young Men
 Judge Hinman then touched on Mir Searls' leadership of the bar as an sy ample to young men. He said as States Attorney Mir. Searls had no regard for victory or glory. He did not seek the spotlight or the spectacu- lar He weighed with care the merits of each case. He pursued relentlessly the hardened criminal but looked with sympathy and lenieney on the first offender who had taken a false step There was never occasion for the court to stand between the criminal and any undue zeal on the part of the prosecutor.
 "The most fitting invocation at the opening of court that I ever heard was the opening prayer 1 heard at New London while holding court there, and l will give it to you:
 "'Oh Thou great Father. Whose We are and Whom We serve, We come be- fore Thee as the Judge of the wide universe. We ask Thy help that our Judgment may be more like Thine; that we may remember the seas of i'll that turk within the hearts of all of us. and into what dark shadowing trees with saddest fruit those seeds had grown had We been so placed as to bring them forward
