Aimee Sees Success
For Her Move to
Save England
BY international News Service

LONDON. Oct. S.-Mrs. Aimee
semple Mcpherson. Los Angeles
evangelist, now trying to save
the soul of England. was en-
thusiastic today over the reception
accorded her at her first revival
meeting here.
II considered the meeting
great success" she said ''Natur-
ally. / used different tactics than
/ did in America because English
audiences are so different from
those in my own country
The newspapers today took a
different view regarding the meet
ing. Most of them took the stand
that the first night audience was
exceedingly apathetic.
The Daily Express described the
meeting as a failure. pointing
out that the audience was slow
to respond TO Mrs, McPheEsori's
familiar exho-tations, and that
she appeared to be "a mixture OF
Elsie Janis and Tallulah Bank
head"
The Daily Mail described the
fiery Californian as IAN actress
taking the role Of a school
ma'am."

their winners ready to step the rest
Of the way; the Cardinals were
equally situated with their losers.
However, the delay gave the Cards
an overnight chance for much
needed Reorganization while. to the.
Yankees. it simply meant that they
must wait a trifle longer for what
they consider an ultimate victory.
They already arc well organized.
1T wasn't considered likely that
the postponement will change Nc
Kechnies pitching plans. He viii
have to go with Sherdel tomorrow.
I,ecause IL he doesn't win this one,
there will be no more and Si1erdcl
to date has been the only pitcher
able to keep Ruth and Gel1rig i'm
any degree of control.
1t was the hitting of this pair
that beat him on Thursday, yet,
perfect outfielding would have multi
fled at least one Of Ruth's doubles
on that occasion, and a few hits
against Hoyt would have made
Sherdels effort the subject of,
eulogies. instead of regrets.
Choices Are Offered
1T was much the same with him
in the 1926 series. so it may be as.
sumed that Sherdel's ability to con-
strain the Yankees has soc degree
of permanence.
The gamblers evidently thought
so too. for local bookmakers offered
4 to on tomorrow's game, with
the privilege of allowing one TO take
his choice.
Perhaps, however, they were recl1-
oning a bit on the law of averageA
in quoting these figures.
Certainly there was nothing in the
past records of this series to incite
any particular confidence in the Car
-dinals. 1t wasn't even certain that
the slight psychological ADVANTAGE
the postponement might have given
them was worth too much against
tire fact that Ruth's injured ankle
certainly figured to be no worse for
an extra days rest.
Chances Are Vague
All In all. the possibility of the
series being ended in four straight !.
games was by no means a vague
one. Only twice before has a
world series club taken title to a
championship in four consecutive
games-the Braves in 1914 and the
Yankees last year.
Two other series were decided by
4 to o. but there were tie games
in each to break up the continuity.
1t, therefore wonld be more than
remarkable if the Yanks can break
all competitive records by making
1t eight straight in> consecutive
series and the smart nlaney-r@cn%
since has discovered that it is good
business to bet against possibilities
that are at all inclined to remark
able characteristics.
But then. the Yankees. in many
respects. are quite a remarkable

his shoulder as a ram.
The door finally gave way and
the guards choking and coughing,

Close on their heels, like stamped

scribable pandemonium broke out.
Many convicts were believed to

scattered throughout the pile OF
smoking timbers showed where
many of the prisoners met death
az they attempted to gain the door
and freedom.
It was impossible for officials
at the prison to compute the exact
number Of dead until a checkup is
made with the warden's roster which
was saved by H. c. Blosser, deputy
warden who was in charge of the
prison when the flames broke out.
II was first believed that the dor
nitory had been set afire by group
Of prisoners who sought in this way
TO make their escape, but officials
at the institution were inclined to
doubt this theory and declared they
believed the blaze to have been due
to defective wiring.
n searching investigation has been
started to determine the exact cause
OF the fire.
Farmers Form Guard
All prisoners rescued from the
dormitory were taken to either the
state penitentiary at Columbus or
to the Rosevile Brick Plant near
GAINESVILLE.
By orders of Warden Blosser. the
shrill Shrek OF the prisons siren
was sounded and a detachment of
farmers pressed into service TO act
as guards for the prisoners who were
herded in the prison yard.
