Highsmith, 2S-year-old State en-
ploye, who was stabbed in the heart in

of John w. Brady, former Civil Appeals

Brady was held in jail without bond.
1t was considered probable that the bond

FROM BRIBERY VERDICT

Nv the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November l3.-FTank
II Warder, former State banking
superintendent through his attorney.
James I. Cuff, yesterday filed IN the
supreme Court notice of appeal from
his conviction for bribery in connection
with the failure of the City Trust Co.
and from an order denying him
Change of venue for his trial.
The change of venue was denied on
october Is and on November 8 Warder
was convicted after a Supreme Court
Jury had deliberated about three hours
on evidence that he had accepted
$4,000 bribe from the late Francesca
M. Ferrari, president of the bank, to
forego State audits Of the institutions.
When the audits were not made, the
state contended. Ferrari and his asso-
ciates were busy bleeding the bank
into insolvency.
Although Warder was convicted spe-
cifically on the $4,000 bride charge,
state evidence at his trial indicated he
had received at least $4,000 in cash
and expensive gifts for himself and his
family. Warder is now in Tomhs
Prison pending the outcome Of his
appeal.

Terrific Batting Rally in the
Eighth. Inning Brings
Win Over Reds.
BY HERBERT w. BAKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

w YHEN Cub pitching fail, Joe
IA McCarthy's batsmen come to
wv the hescue with q salvo OF
v V base hits to keep the Bruins
well in advance of any Ma
tional League pursuers.
1t was a terrific batting rally in the
eighth inning yesterday that enabled
the Chicago pennant hopes to down
the Cincinnati Reds, 8 to S, and stretch
their lead over the second-place Pitts
burgh Pirates to 1872 games.
Until the fateful eighth, Eppa Jeptlla
Rixey, elongated left-hander, waved an
uncanny spell over the Cub bats, while
the Reds we're touching Charley Root
for run here and there, enough, 1t
seemed, to win the game. Until the
eighth Rixey granted only six hits, one
of which was Rogers Hornsby's twenty
ninth homer Of the year In the fourth.
In the Reds half of the eighth Root
was touched for two runs, making the
count to 2.
Then the Cub swatsmiths got busy.
A walk and two singles and Rixey was
replaced by Rube Ehrhardt. Five more
hits rolled off Cub bats, one of them
a freak home run by Norman Mcmillan
with the bases filled. This blow began
life as an ordinary single. but bounced
into the stands for q four-bagger. All
told the Cubs scored seven times and
the game was over. rHornsby and Kiki
Cuyler were the most active batsmen
with three hits apiece. A crowd Of
$4,000 turned out to see the battle.
In the only other National League
game of the day, the Phillies nosed out
the ST. Louis Cardinals, z to 6. in q
hectic frav decided in the last two
innings. The Phils. trailing by 6 to 2

Haid pitched the whole distance for

innings and finally retired in favor Of

one-run verdict were new expert
4 ences encountered by the Phila-
delpfia Athletics during a short
stretch on the Western invasion just
ended.
while the Chicago Cubs were virtu-
ally cleaning up in the East their
prospective rivals in the world series
fell into a coastign mood the first time
this season.
Joe McCarthy's pennant-sniffing Cubs
appear to be well-oiled machine since

real difficulties during the early part
of the race.
Blake and Carlson have come into
their own, and with Bush and Malone
the Cubs staff should be at its peak

Mack Is Not Disturbed.
The showing Of the Athletics in
Cleveland. st. Louis and Chicago was
q contrast to their performances at De-
troit two weeks ago. Regardless Of their
temporary setback. Connie Mack viewed
their losses in his usual philosophical
manner.
II do not look upon those defeats as
a slump" said the Philadelphia man
ager. "a slump becomes a reality only
when team allows itself to feel de-
pressed, and our boys are happy.
I'VE merely lost a few close games
through lack of base hits. I decided
to let Al Simmons have a few days
rest, and. Of course, we missed him.
You know opposing pitchers are lot
happier when he is out Of the lineup.
Really, there is nothing to worry
about. I have found that the greatest
team may be subject to reaction after a
long, strenuous grind. Remember, we
struck our winning streak when the
going was rough and we needed games
most.
Some folks say we have the flag
nailed down. don't like to think Of It
that way. want the boys to feel that
their best work hasn't been accom-
plished yet. We still have % games at
home, and look for the team to 60

ify at the Engineers. So did Weth-
cred and several other British stars.

Even John McGraw, before the
season opened, said that Pitts
burgh and Chicago were the two
teams the Giants had to beat,
but that the Pirates looked a little
bit more formidable. OF course,
you cannot tell how well Pitts
burgh might have gone If Crimes
and Traynor had not been in
jured. But we all know how well
the Cubs have gone.
The players think that pitching is
fully 70 per cent Of a world series, and
start to figure from there. They admit
that Grove and Walberg are great left
handlers, but figure that while southpaws
are fine against Ruth, Gehrig and the
left-handed batters of the Yankees, they
will be far less effective against Chi
Cages right-handed hitters. Hornsby,
Cuyler, Wilson and Stephenson are a
tough collection for any portsider to
face. Strangely enough, the Cubs them
selves appear to regard Walberg more
highly than Grove. but claim that they
should do well against any left-hander.
Like Smoke Ball.
The pitchers and catchers who have
worked against the Cubs should know
something Of their ability. so I have
talked to all the hurlers and receivers
could reach. Their point Of view is that
the Chicago batters just naturally MUIR
der fast-ball pitchers. and that Grove,
Walberg and Earnshaw are Of that type.
What they do not appear to realize Is
that both Grove and Earnshaw have
fine change Of pace. Earnshaw, espe-
cially, not only has binding speed but
also a corking slow ball, and isn't
afraid to use it.
Moreover, Connie Mack has been In
this base ball business for some years,
and knows all about the Chicago bat
tiers. He has plenty Of pitchers of all
sizes and types. And he also has some
pretty good fielders and hitters.
Criticism that consider more to the
point says that the Cubs may come
fresher to the series than the Athletics.
Some OF the Mackmen have been in
jured this season. Simmons has had q
bit Of trouble with his legs, and the
pitchers at times have shown signs Of
being tired.
But the time must arrive before long
when Mack can rest his regulars, one
or two at time: This always Is o
out long enough to give him q little
rest. but you mustn't keep him out long
enough for him to lose his momentum
or dull his batting eye.
1t always has seemed to me that the
correct manner to give a man a rest is
not merely to keep him on the bench.
It Is to keep him away from the ball
yard for couple Of days and still see
that he doesn't stir himself more in that
time than he would II he came to the
park.
A real rest means relaxation of BODY
and mind. not merely changing the form
OF exercise. Tunney worked this thing
out as well as any man ever saw. He
could relax nerves and muscle any time
he cared to and permit nature to fill the
reserve tank with a little more energy
for future use.
1t proved to be good enough system
to make him heavyweight champion Of
the world.
