Johnson is picked up by the raw boned, tohacco-chewing Nebraskan, Grover Cleveland Alexander, the man who has been "sold down the river" to St. Louis by the Chicago Cubs for nlisbehavior.
 "Old Pete" as the players know him, is in rare form, twice stop ping the Yankee sluggers, his sec ond victory in the sixth game, deadlocking the series and forcing it to the limit once more. Comes the scventh-and drama again. Jess Haines has a sore thumb, after filling the bases with Yan- kees. Out of the gloom shuffles Old Pete He has pitched a full game the day before, but he is back again to face Lazzeri, the hard-hitting young Italian, with two out, and the Yankees only one run behind. A roar goes up for the veteran. New York appreciates it's dramatic circumstances, win or lose. One strike. A foul drive, savagely hit that is only few feet from being fair and breaking up the ball game Two strikes. A vicious swing for the third strike and Lazzeri is out, the Yankees stopped and the game just about clinched.
 A mighty roar again. Old Pete shuffles into the bench, doffs his ill-fitting cap, takes a drink. All in the days work for him, but he has saved the series and, as John son did for Washington, given St. Louis it's first worlds champion ship
 It has always been such achieve ments as these that have lifted the baseball classic to it's heights. Baker Ruth, Gehrig and the other great hitters have had their day, but the pitching feats of Mathew son. Adams, Coombs, Coveleskie, Pennock Johnson and Alexander will be more often recalled.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 13-In the huge Stanford stadium which constitutes his outdoor workshop Coach R. l.. "Dink" Templeton of Stanford University is building an- other great track and field ma chine with which he hopes to win a third successive national cham pionship this year.
 Four dependable point gatherers form the nucleus for the 1929 Car dinal and White team. As many more regulars, but of less certain quality, will help the cause along.
 Capt. Ross Nichols, hurdler; Ward Edmonds, pole vaulter, and Eric Krenz and Harlow Rothert, weight men, are the mainstays. All are expected to either dominate their division, or give mighty good ac- counts of themselves.
 Coach Templeton is experiment. ing with Edmonds as a potential hurdler and the latter has shown much ability in early tryouts Nich- ols is looked upon as a certain winner in all high barrier events, while if Edmonds develops as his coach expects, several extra points may be added to the total
 In the weights, Rothert and Krenz hold out a coun y-wide challenge. Both are in the 50- foot class as shotputters while this season Krenz is charged with the duty of bringing new discus throw record to Stanford. Last year in several practice heaves, Krenz sur passed the present worlds record. One of his throws sailed few inches past the 160-foot mark.
 Kim Dyer and Fred zombro, a pair of broad jumpers, Fred Kibby and Bill Sparling. javelin throwers, and Johnny Lauritzen in the sprints, are other experienced men ready for service.
 In the ranks of the unknown rests Coach Templeton's hopes in some events, especially the long distance jaunts. Henry Coe, mile and two-miler, is gone. Stanford is hardest hit in the 440-yard dash and high jump. ruled last year by Emercon Spencer and Bob King, respectively. Spencer established the new worlds record for 400 me- ters while King is the Olympic games high jump champion.

John Coolidge, son of the former President, and Miss Florence Trumbull, daughter of the governor of Connecticut, will take their VOWS as their fathers and mothers did before them.
 A luncheon here revealed that John Coolidge and his prospective bride are more interested in serious success in life than in fads.

John did not wish to discuss hle marriage plans for publication, but he agreed to comment on news paper stories in which Miss T'rum bull had been credited with cer~ tain statements.
 T think she is. quite capable oi speaking for herself, he said, but I will answer the questions
 The first showed Miss Trumbulls disapproval of companionate mar riage.
 "The people who seem happiest to me in married life" she was quoted as saying, "are the ones like my fat CTS and mothers friends. They have married for keeps; they have never thought of anything else-it is the old way I guess"
 Does that still represent Miss Trumbull's view?" John was asked
 q am sure it does," he replied q agree"
 So it went. One clipping quoted Miss Trumbull as saying she didn't know how to cook.
 John smiled and said:
 That is not quite complete now She knows how to cook; she alst is very skillful at sewing. And seemingly brand of Trum.

PARIS, Sept. 21.-Machine guns; more machine guns and machine guns always.
 A smaller army, fewer soldiers, but compact force of trained men and military officers of career.
 These are the broad outlines ot plan for the reorganization of the French army published in the Review of the Living" under the initials "zZZ," whom every one conversant with French military matters has recognized as one of the high officers in the present army.
 Plans for the reorganization oi the French army have been numer- ous recently. It has been off cially admitted by the French min istry of war that the Frenc h troops need reorganization. At the time of Marshal Foch's death he was busy with Minister of War Painleve and several advisers draw ing up set of reforms. The work is now being continued with Gen. eral Weygand, Foch's right hanc man, as collaborator to the minis ter of war.
 I That the French military mino still regards Germany as possible menace to France was shown by the trend of "ZZz's" article. "The experience of the late wal proved that the machine gun bar rage is impossible, providing thai the barrage is assured by one ma chine gun to every 400 yards" ht said.
 Reduce our eastern and north ern frontier to 360 miles-neglectinl to take into consideration thos' sections of it which are made i'm penetrable by forests. rivers ant lcanals. Thus we find that 1,5O'

TELLS FRENCH ARMY TO
 RELY ON MACHINE GUNS

machine guns are necessary for the establishment of a continuous bar rage, requiring 375 squads or 100 companies. Tn the present state of our organization, 100 machine gun companies represent 100 in- fantry battalions, or Il divisions, which should be occupying our northern and eastern frontiers. Our present army cannot assure that service"
 The writer concluded by asking for the incorporation of a perma- nent force of 106,000 men and sol- diers of career" to be under arms at all times and by final plea for more machine guns. The gen. eral 'incognito' was in deadly ear nest and may be said to interpret the thoughts of the French general staff.
 At Geneva, after the Locarno in- terviews with Gustav Stressemann of Germany, Aristide Briand, pre- mier of France, was also very much in earnest and translated the feel ings of a large majority of the French nation, when before the League of Nations he made his fa- nous address:
 Spike the cannon. Destroy the  machine guns. The war is over This is an era of peace"

EAST CHICAGO, Ind, Sept. 21 -Outlawing the spiritus frumenti in the Calumet industrial district mixing bowl of half hundred nationalities, is one of the most severe tests of prohibition enforce ment.
 The last wholesale roundup by government officials entangled in the net the mayor of East Chicago the Chief of Police, prominent lawyer and more than 100 persons of lesser importance, grading down to the foreign tongued laborer who couldn't pronounce his boss name
 The Mayor, Raleigh P Hale, free on $20,000 bond, is candidate for reelection next November, and on the same Republican ticket in the neighboring city of Gary is R. O. Johnson, who served prison term for dry violation during a pre- vious mayoral term.
 Both Johnson and Hale should win, as the Calumet cities are top heavy Republican. unless a trial before November 5 would remove Hale from the ballot.
 The industrial belt of Indiana stretching from the Illinois line through Whiting, East Chicago Hammond and Gary, not only is a thorn in the side of prohibition enforcement, but it is burr under the saddle of the Republican state organization.

With its almost half million mill workers it offers a block of votes, that political managers, bosses. ward heelers and precinct candidates-all of course, candi- dates, want and fear. Downstate Indiana can almost be overturned by the Calumet vote. There is no sympathy of interests; no similar ity of aspirations; no likeness of background between the two sec- tions of the state.
 The last general prohibition on- slaught in the Calumet was directed by Oliver M Loomis, new Federal District Attorney of northern In- diana.
 The previous wholesale dry foray was in 1922 and centered upon Gary. Mayor Johnson, the county attorney, other city and county of- ficials and scores of civilians were arrested. Johnson, after year at Atlanta, was pardoned by President Coolidge, and came back last spring to score a decisive primary victory.
 Prohibition agents, immigration agents, deputy United States mar shals, and other federal arms as well as municipal and county fore es have repeatedly reached into the Calumet to clean it up."
 "You can't eliminate vice and liquor in East Chicago" was the cry of Mayor Hale, and 1t was echoed in other cities.
 District Attorney Loomis says ] he can, and will.

BLAME FOR DISASTER

Cloak Room Attendant Opened Door-Spark
 Famed Into Flames

DSTROIT, Mich, Sept. 2l-The death list in the fire of the De- troit Study Club, night club of this city, which occurred about midnight Thursday, mounted to 19 today with doubts expressed as to the recovery of 13 of the 37 in- jured in the hospitals.
 One of the injured, Roland Howe of this city, died early this morn ing. Eight of the injured were dis charged and others arc reported temporarily in serious conditions.
 Girl Opened Door
 Blame for the disaster has ten tatively been placed on a cloak room girl who opened a door wher the flames were first dicovered The blaze started presumably from a lighted cigarette.
 Other investigations are u n d e l way to place responsibility on those granting licenses to places to op- crate when fire laws are not ob- served.
 Only Small Spark
 The fire is believed to have beer but a small spark in the clubs en- trance when frightened girl op- ened the door and the flames were shot through the filmsy draperies by the draft.
 Little damage was done to tht property.
 Investigators considered that il would have been unlikely anyone would have been harmed if al had remained at their seats while the blaze puffed itself out.
