HUCCAMBLES
ON PITCHERS
! IN End GAME
Pirates See Bright
Spot In Clouds i'm
Pitching of Miljus
In Opener
BY BRIAN BELL

tAssociated Press Sports Writer)
FlITSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 6.-R-
Finding himself in a position to
gamble as a result Of the Yankees
, 20 4 victory over the Pittsburgh
Pirates In the opening game Of the
worlds series, Manager Miller Hug
gins today crossed the experts By
naming George Pipgras to pitch for
me Yankees In the second game.
The New York who il
always willing to take a chance when
ne can afford il. in nominating Pip
gras threw the burden on the broad
shoulders OF a young pitcher who
had performed nobly for the Ameri-
q league champions this season
but was yet to receive the Etern
initiation ceremonies Of a worlds
series.
Pittsburgh, a game behind rs a re-
gult OF playing yesterdays game for
lun. vas prepared to put UP a des-
eerate battle today 70 get even, and
Manager DOME Bush called on Vie
Aldridge to throw curve balls at the
Yankee sluggers, who did no slug
ring In the first game.
Aidridge Slated
Aldridge, q veteran, carries a
heavy responsibility for IL was con-
seded by the most partisan sup
porters Of the bold Buccaneers that
they must win today TO continue in
active competition. Few fans be-
lieve the Pirates can spot the Yam
KEGS two games and win four there
after with q time limit Of seven
games set.
As tho series opened each manager
In q most sportsman-like manner ex-
pressed a hope that the better team
would win. In the first game II
was a case of the worst team losing.
The Pirates, exhibiting a defense
badly run down al the heel, beat
themselves. The Yankees in winning
needed the help Of the Pirates. The
contest resembled the first game of
the season more than the opening
game Of a world series with base
balls best on parade.
Four Of the Yankees five runs
were garnered through poor Pirate
fielding and some uncertain pitch
ing by Ray Kremer, ~Pittsburgh's big
right handler who is held in high
esteem. Paul Waner essayed an i'm
possible catch to permit the first
Yankee run and in a disasterous in
ming for itssburgh when three runs
were made on n hit, the home
team punched It's two errors with
two bases on balls.
Ruth Hit Half
The h~ard-hitting Yankees took a
batting holiday for them when they
made only six safeties, half Of them
made by Babe Ruth, the home run
king. The big slugger did not choose
to hit home runs but sent out three
ringside singles. Two Of the winners
six hits were doubles, one by Koe-
mig paving the way for a run and
the other by Laxzeri driving Kremer

See Economy
In Concrete Church

PARIS H1-A reinforced concrete
church, the first in France, has
opened new possibilities in design,
but above all in economy. TO towns
unable to afford the great expensive
stone structures that beautify the
country.
For $4,000. the town Of Mont
magny, not far from Paris, has built
a church 100 by 43 feet, with q high
bell-tower and steeple.
Best OF all, the church IL light.
The upper two-thirds Of the four
walls are half colored glass, set in
a criss-cross design, much like the
loaded glass except that the frame
work all Ia in cement.

Fire Destroys Home
of Lex. City Marshal
Early Friday Morning

Fire of undetermined origin completely
destroyed the home of Monroe Roach,
city marshal of Lexington, at an early
hour last Friday morning. A party re-
turning from the Kraft Cheese celebra-
tion at Durant at about 200 o'clock a.
m. discovered the house ablaze, and inn
medately turned in the fire alarm. The
flames had progressed to far, however.
that the home and all its contents were
destroyed.
No source of the fire has been deter
mined. The house had been occupied
by Mr. Roach constantly, but had not
contained fire for stoves or any other
purpose for several weeks. Mr.. Roach
went into it for few minutes at about
12 o'clocT but did not even light Gig
arctic ard fts fo1 Durant. At his re-
turn few hours later, he found the
home in ashes. 1t is thought by some
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
because of the activity of the marshal
in enforcing the law, and because no
other origin can be determined.

Observer Says Cotton
Is Scarce This Year

That Mississippi will make an extreme
ly short crop this year, is the opinion
of responsible business man of Lex
ington who is familiar with crop con-
ditions and who has just returned from
somewhat extended tour of inspec-
tion.
The trip covered some 300 miles OF
fertile territory, extending over the
counties of Holmes, Leflore, Sunflower,
Coahoma and Quitman. Holmes county,
which is about half hills and half delta,
promises about one half of the produc-
ton of last year. In the delta counties,
which are among the best counties in
the delta and not included in the over
flow area, the estimated yields range
from 33ct to 60ef of the production !ass
year. One farmer, for instance, who
made 500 bales last year, stated that
he would be we'll satisfied with 25C
bales this year; another who made 60o
bales last year, epects to make not over
200 bales this year
