Loyal Fans Turn Out to
Back FavOrites Against
Westerners

New York, Oct 4 (P>-Tor once IN
its baseball fife. New York became
a home team" town today as the
embattled Yankees plugged crevices
in their Harlem river citadel against
an expected onslaught by the st.
Louis Cardinals. Father Knicker-
booker was in the first stage of his
fifteenth modern world series but 1t
might well have been mistaken
for his first, with $4,000 fans
marching upon the Rupert stadium
eager to yell the home forces on to
victory.
A promise of Indian summer sun
shine fired the baseball spirit as 1t
had not been fired for years past
in this vicinity. The ominous shad-
ow of Wee Willie Sherdel, he of the
left-handed magic. remained across
the path of the Yankees, but New
York fans were willing to string
along with Waite Hoyt. and the sort
of fight with which the Hugmen
pulled themselves along to the
American league pennant by their
very bootstraps.
The Cardinals still are favored to
take the series, but word had spread
over the city of the gay capers of
Yankee cripples out at the stadium
yesterday when the sunshine final
ly appeared and really gave them
a change. Earl Combs was definite
ly out of the fight, with Benny
Paschal and Cedric burst scheduled
to alternate in his place. but the
other Yankee cripples were u pand
about and the Babe was almost
playful.

Another baseball battle for the

to admit long and steadily mounting
lines of the faithful. Only the left
field bleachers showed any vacant
space in the unreserved sections.
This assured some 10000 CUSTOM

more, in possession of reserved seat

ago. would shove the total throng
up to around SO,OOO-some 1900 in

Rockville, Oct. I P}-Joseph Rad
will who, using his own truck under
hire to carry children workers in the
Ellington tobacco fields to their
homes in Manchester. had been tried
on charge of wilful misconduct and
negligence in operation of motor
vehicle, was found guilty by Judge
Edward NJ. Yeomans in superior
court today, and sent to state prison
for one to five years.
Radwill had elected to be tried
by the court without jury and the
evidence offered by the state to show
that he was responsible for the
deaths of three boys, burned after
the truck upset, and injuries to many
others of the more than so carried
en- the homeward trip July 27, was
mainly that which proved the truck
was overloaded and that it was
driven too fast. The truck skidded
when it came to freshly oiled state
highway, swerved out Of Radwill's s
control, hit bank and overturned.
Fire followed and hours elapsed be-
fore the three charred bodies were
identified. In the opening day of
the trial that state had more than

was shown that the aggregate OF
these children was greater than the
registered capacity Of RadwilPs

Radwill appealed the sentence to-
day and was given his liberty under
