Times Special Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Pitchlng
won the world series. 1t usually does.
The difference in this case was that
the pitching of the Giants was I'M
derrated. Or maybe 1 should say
the pitcher. Carl Hubben could
have won the series Single-handed,
even without rain.
To me he was the hero Of the
series. He pitched twenty innings
throwing both the American League
and the National League ball, and
the Washingtons have yet to score
an earned run off him.
But there was much more to the
series than Hubbel 1t is possible
to sit back, check over the records
and pick out one single base hit
that decided the series. When you
do that you must decide on the
pinch hit Lefty O'Doul delivered in
the second game. His single
changed a 10 Giant defeat into a
victory.
IF were asked to name the field
i ing hero of the series. should
unhesitatingly nominate Blondy
Ryan.
To me the astonishing thing
about this youngster from Holy
Cross was how he handled himself
in the pinches. This was his first
world series. Nobody was quite sure
how he would stand up. From a
distance there is nothing about him
that inspires confidence. You even
wonder how he gets by. He lacks
grace. precision and the big league
technic. But somehow he always
comes up with the ball-and the
tougher the situation is the more
sure-handed he appears to be.
Well. after you have given due
credit to the pitching. the hitting
AND the fielding. there does not
seem to be anything else to say.
But I wish to say something else.
And it is thiS-the most dominant
note in the series was a new form
of management Above everything
else. the Bill Terry system was the
most important.
XXTHAT is the Bill Terry system?
w In brief it is this: What do
YOU fellows think?" The Bill Terry
system is new TO baseball. but old to
business. It consists mainly Of a
community of ideas. And that means
in the end not being too big to ask
some one else what is the right
thing TO do.
The Bill Terry system is unique in
baseball. I don't believe there ever
was a ball club run on precisely the
same principles. Watching the
Giants on the field you never would
be able to tell who is running the
club Instead of one manager there
seems to be at least six. To all ap-
pearances, no individual makes a
decision.

 The candidacy of Walter Angle. former commander of the local post. for the office of senior vice commander is attracting statewide interest. Mr,Angle is being opposed by Arthur Baldwin of Milford and Patrick McMahon of Norwich. The local delegates are confident that a three-cornerd fight adds to the chances of MT Angle being chosen. As yet no opposition has developed to the candidacy of Captain B. F.. Armstrong for his reelection as state treasurer.
 At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning Corp Coyle Posts drum corps will leave the Legion home on Holmes avenue for New London.

By HENRY A WALLACE fSecretarY of Agriculture.l

Washington, Aug 25.-(UP)- Dating from May 12, when Presi- dent Roosevelt signed the farm act, the agricultural adjustment administration has been at work now for about a hundred days.
 The purpose is to give people who grow crops, and also those who deal in them, a chance to put their businesses in order and square their plans with the re- alities of a changed world.
 We have had to work hard and us; but more often we have man. aged to take hold of pressing reali- ties and give them Q new direc- tion. We have made fair start.
 There are 100000 American cotton farmers. Nearly nine- tneths of them have agreed to take out a total of 1O,500.000 acres of cotton. This will reduce the 1883 cotton crop about quarter and so avoid . castrophic price collapse which would have kept the South on crutches, financially and put a stay to the whole recovery pro- gram this fall.
 This month, with 3O,000 volun- teer field workers helping we are putting before the 100000 Amer lean farm families that grow wheat an acreage adjustment pro- gram for the next two years. At the same time we are giving hog growers chance to reduce their potential production during the coming year by approximately two billion pounds and are pushing also toward a more balanced and orderly supply of tobacco, dairy products and certain special crops.
 Our interests as Q people are so interwoven that a rise in the cot ton price is good business for farmers . thousand or more miles to the north and west. More money

Colo. Plans Dedication
 For Highest U. s. Road

Pueblo, Col. (UP)- Colorado's highest highway hears completion and a dedication is being planned. The road cast $1,300,000. It is the Trail Ridge Road over Fall River Pass.
 The road is receiving finishing touches, the climax of 19 months of work. It will carry motorists into territory hitherto inaccess- ible to automobiles, by steadily climbing at grades of seven per cent or less, until the motorist is delivered to thet op of Fall River Pass, 11,797 feet above sea-level.
 Four miles of the new road are continuously above 12,000 feet and 10 miles are above timberline.

south of Memphis means, for one thing, an improved demand for Iowa port. Cotton cities are among the best markets for hogs. And the wheat and corn belts are heavy buyers of cotton, when the folks there have money to buy with.
 A rising price cycle. with cer- tain commodities leading the rise
 unevenly, stirs a spirit of bitter ness between different groups
 which I hope that the natural good
 sense of the American people will tend to temper and restrain. Everything that has been done so far by agriculture, and much that is to be done the coming year, is in the nature of a bridge that must be built if we are to
 have restored buying power and a renewal of general prosperity. We are bridging over a period of
 greatly diminished foreign demand.
 To sustain national recovery we
 must maintain a solid bedrock of
 continued domestic purchasing power.
 If we were to try to leave the
 farmers out of that we should get nowhere. It is equally true that the
 farm program cannot succeed un-
 less unemployment declines and
 there is a considerable increase in
 the incomes and purchasing power
 of city people.
 A recent study of livestock and
 butter prices shows that such prices keep step almost perfectly
 with payrolls, although there is a lag of two or three months. I hope that our farmers will let that
 fact sink into their hearts. Farmers no less than all other Americans should work and pray resolutely for the success of N. R. A. Every new days events con- vince me more fully that all Amer. ica, rural and urban, must recog- nize its essential interdependence
 and work not in contending fac- tions, but as one.

 Detectives John Calvin and Henry Johnson investigated the accident and assisted in the re- moval of the injured boy. There was some delay before the detec- lives arrived in getting a car to take the youngster to the hospital. The loss of blood occasioned by the delay weakened the lad.

Hartford Conn, April 17-(UP) ~--Governor Wilbur l.. Cross this afternoon struck back at Senator Howard w. Alcorn. ridiculcd his expressed reasons for new beer bill questioned his motives and characterized his excuses for n local control beer bill as "rhc bunk"
 Alcorn has said that provision for taverns, under the Cross bill, established Il ''pcrnicious" slt- uation.

 Governor Cross also asserted that under the new measure beer could be sold to children, amy time, day or night"
 eff MT Alcorn feels that beer may be sold to children just as soda water is, why Is he 50 anxious to protect dry towns against 1t? His two expressed reasons for | new bill are the bunk. ~
