BY the Associated Press.
Thanks to Max Bishop, the Phil
adelphia Athletics have been saved
from utter rout in the now famous
battle of the Bronx.
After smashing the AS into defeat
In the first three skirmishes of the
crucial general engagement, Miller
Huggins' Yankee brigade ran afoul
of Bishops ninth inning home run
In the fourth clash yesterday. That
dramatic blow carried with it a 4
to 3 victory for the Mackmen and
enabled them to beat dignified, If
somewhat hasty, retreat from the
Yankee stadium.
The Yankees thus saw their
American league lead clipped to
game and half. margin the Ath-
letics hope will prove not impossible
to overcome when the two clubs in
wade the west on Saturday for the
closing games of the season. The
Yanks have Is games and the AS Is

Bishops game-winning punch into
the right field bleachers was ftting
climax to a contest which saw the
Yankees come within an ace OF VIC
tory with another OF the eighth in
ming rallies that enabled them to win
the second and third games of the
series.
Howard Ehmke. tall right hand
er of the Mackmen, entered this IN
ming with 8 to lead. He had
pitched magnificent game, but in
this frame he got into difficulties.
The champions loaded the bases
with two out and Tony Lazzeri was
at bat. Ehmke in delivering his first
pitch to Lazzeri, wrenched his knee
20 badly that he had to be removed.
Ossie Orwell went to the box and
lost no time in walking Lazzeri,
forcing home the tying run. With
the bases still full, Mike Gazella flied
out to end the frame and the
Yankees chances were gone.
Waite Hoyt had two men down in
the Athletics ninth and had two
balls and two strikes on Bishop
when the second baseman clouted
the ball over Ruth's head into the
right field stands. Haas got life on
Lazzeri's tumble and Cochrane
singled to put two men on base and
Hoyt under the showers in the club
house. Taking no chances, Mack
sent Rube Walberg to the mound TO
get rid of the Yankees in their last
turn at bat and the left handler was
quite equal to the occasion.
A crowd of 40,3SS saw the end of
the series, swelling the total attend

PRISONERS FOOD
IN RED-TAPE STEW
MCCarI'S Plan Would Save
0ne-t -thouSandth of | Per
Cent Through Bids.

A long and somewhat twisted line Of
red tape is now surrounding the District
Commissioners. II police precincts and
the Offices of the controller general
of the United States, the purchasing
officer and auditor of the District and
the major and superintendent Of police,
and the Commissioners are seeking a
legal and dignified way to cut 1t.
It all started some months ago
when the eagle eye of the controller
general fell upon the practice of the
District of buying meals for prisoners
at the various police precincts from
persons in the neighborhood willing to
supply the same, at a cost averaging
25 cents apiece. The controller gen.
eraI issued an opinion that this was
bad practice, and that the meals IN
question should be bought by competi-
tive bidding. According, the District
purchasing officer advertised for bids
on October 9, and IL were received.
Unfortunately, no bids were received
for two of the precincts. The bids re-
ceived for some of the precincts were
higher than the average prices now
paid. and the bids for others were lower,
Dub lIlG ll6i 1GoQlb NnS CAInOs IA NAASe
precincts bid for. there would be net
saving of rs cents per month, or less
than one-thousandth of one per cent
of the price now paid.
In order to secure this saving, how
ever, the Commissioners would be called
upon to run several risks. Should the
contract be awarded to contractor the
quality and quantity of whose food
were unsatisfactory, the city fathers
would be compelled to rescind the con-
tract by formal action, and advertise
for new bids. If they accept the COM
petitive bidding as good law, the would
have to break the law to feed the pris-
oners while waiting for the new bids
to come in The amounts involved are
SO small that the bidders cannot be
required to put up bonds for the faith
full performance of the contracts.
All these matters are carefully di-
gested and set forth in four-page
opinion. prepared by District Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan. The Commissioners
Yesterday gave the matter long consid-
Grafton, and finally decided to act upon
Mr.. Donovarl's suggestion that his re-
port be called to the attention of the
controller general and that he be
asked to relax the rule as to the neces-
sity of competitive bidding in this case.
Accordingly. they forwarded the report
to the controller generals Office, where
it now lies.
