BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Chi
cago Cubs Cancelled their practice
session because of rain and cold
weather today and will meet the
New York Yankees in the opening
game of the world series Wednes-
day-weather permitting-without
benefit of a previous workout.
A drizzling rain greeted the Cubs
special when it arrived this morn
ing. The Yankees already were at
the stadium hoping that the rain
would subside enough to permit
them brief practice. but the out
look was discouraging.
This is no sort of weather for
baseball" Manager Charley Grimm
said. Wen wait until Wednesday
and then go out a few hours be-
fore game time to bat and throw
a few around"
Grimm reported that the Cubs
we're in top shape. He still plans
to start Guy Bush, the elongated
Mississippi Highlander, in the
first game, and follow with Lon
Warneke, sensational youngster, in
the second.
Yanks Still Favorites
The Yanks continued to rule IA
vorites in betting circles. Odds from
5-to-3 to 3-to-2 we're quoted. Several
bets were reported at 1-to-5 and l.
to-4 that the Yanks would win four
straight.
Charley Ruffing, the red-headed
highlander of the Yanks, virtually
is certain to face Bush.
Ruff1ng, strike-out king of the
American League, went through a
brisk warm-up Monday, the only
one of the probable starting hurlers
to work out. He admitted later that
he expects to start the series.

Ponder This

If the $3.50 tax limit law is
applied to indianapolis. debt
requirements will take $1.1112,
according to figures compiled
by William Book of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Debt requirements next year
for the city, county and school
units will be $3,772 ,207, or a tax
rate of 69.6 cents on the low
cred appraisal of property val
ues. The debts for poor relief
and township roads will require
$l,390.840. Other debt require
ments bring the necessary levy
UP to the mark mentioned.
Under this estimate, the en-
tire city, county. township and
school governments would be
compelled to run on a 24-cent
levy for service as against foSr
and a half times that amount
for interest and debts.

Judge Thayer received hundreds
of death threats in connection with
the trial and execution of Nicola
Sacco, shoe worker and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti fish peddler, who we're
electrocuted at state prison in 1927
for the murder of a paymsster and
his guard at South Braintree seven
years earlier.
Bomb Placed Under Porch
Police we're inclined to link the
bombing with the cco-Vanzetti
case, although conceding it was
strange, that vengeance should have
been so long deferred.
When firemen reached the Thayer
home on Institute road, in response
to an emergency call, they. found
the Judge, but suffering from shock,
cropping through the darkness and
debris to reach his wife's bedroom.
They can't kill me that easily"
exclaimed the judge. Il hate to
think because a man does his duty
by God and country he gets this"
Indications we're that the bomb
had been placed under a rear
piazza. Police said that only the
fact that the Thayers and their
maid occupied rooms in the front
of the house saved their lives.
The rear of the building was de-
molished by the blast, but there was
no fire.
A garage and barn behind the
house were wrecked. Two automo-
biles in the garage were crushed by
heavy timbers.
