Says Manager.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. THE New
York Giants and the Washington
Senators met in the fifth and per-
haps the last game of the world
series today. The way seemed
cleared for the Giants to coast into
their first world championship in
eleven years.
Victorious for a second time be-
hind the blistering screwball slants
of Carl Hubbell, the Giants have
won three games, while the Senators
we're taking one, and can scarcely
miss returning to the throne they
occupied last in 1922, when the
white-haired John McGraW was at
the peak of his glory.
The Giants need only to win to-
days game and it will be all over.
Washington, to become cham
pions, must win the next three
games.
We're right smack dab up against
the wall Joe Cronin, boy manager
of the Senators, said. But don't
count us out yet. A lot of surpris-
ing things happened in baseball this
year, and there's time for some more
of them. We aren't hitting as we
should, and the breaks won't go
against us forever"
While Cronin would make no
definite announcement he dropped
a hint that he would make his big
gamble today on General Alvin
Crowder, dean of the Senators
right-handers.
The Giants will work behind young
Hal Schumacher. best risht-handed
pitcher of the New York staff, who
won the second game.
Il figure Halls ready to go in
there again." Manager Terry said.
Well soon find out, anyway. We
just can't miss now. You can figure
on having a free Sunday because
the series will be all over when we
roll back to New York tonight.
No matter what happens today,
tomorrow or the next day, the series
has produced its goat. The goat isn't
even. a player. He's Umpire Charles
B. Moran, who worked at first base
yesterday.

By United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct. 7.
Success crowned the governments
war on crime on three southwest
ern fronts today.
Convicted principals in the $780,
900 machine gun kidnapping of
Charles F. Urschel came before

tence.
Included were Harvey j. Bailey,

40 RAIL LINES
TO CUT FARES
Western Roads Take Step
to Meet Competition.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. IA complete
reorganization of railroad passenger
fares, effecting as much as 40 per
cent reduction, has been voted by
representatives OF forty western
railroads.
The new fare schedule marked
the end of several years of discus
sion in which the carriers sought
a uniform weapon with which to
combat the inroads in their pas
senger traffic made by buses, au-
tomobiles and airplaneS.
Similar schedules are being studied
by eastern and southern railroads.
The new fare system will go into
effect Dec. on all roads west of
Chicago.
The basic $50 mile fare, which
long has been a cornerstone of rail-
road passenger business was aban-
doned and rate ranging from 2 to
3 cents mile was substituted.
The railroad surcharge for Pull
man travel is eliminated. which
amounts to cutting present Pullman
rates by one-third.

mand for money, Riley Shipley,
paroled convict from the Indiana

children live. Directions wre given

Fearing for cafety of herself and

he looks like winner in the fifth.
Brown Wisdom, who has raced so

Methodist Hospital
Offer Turned Down
by Mayor Sullivan
City Not in Position to
Accept Proposal, He
SAYS in Reply.

Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today
refused the offer of Methodist hos
pital to assume patients of city hos
pital overflow which now is lahoring
under a marked budget cut.
DR.. John G. Benson and Clarence
c. Hess, superintendent and bust
ness manager respectively, of Meth
odist hospital, following a confer
ence with the institution board of
directors, dispatched an open letter
to the mayor, offering the hospitals
service to the city at the same per
capita cost of city hospital.
The offer was prompted by the
proposal of the city to borrow
100000 to erect new building, and
additional funds to maintain it, to
take care of the present overflow
Contained in the letter from the
Methodist superintendent was the
appeal that lin these times of emer-
gency, Mr.. Mayor. we ask you that
no steps be taken toward the in
currence of half a million dollar
indebtedness for the reason that it
is unnecessary"
Mayor Sullivan, in refusing to &C
cept the offers, said "the city has
no intention of borrowing or ex-
pending 100000 at the city hos
pital.
Neither is the city in position to
accept the Methodist officials offer
to assume the overflow of the city
hospital at the per day cost calcu-
lated for the latter, the mayor
said
Mayor Sullivan addressed a reply
to Methodist officials, but declined
to make the contents public.

UTILITY DEAL
HEADACHE to
CITY OFFICIALS
Contract Is Costing Huge
Sum, Assert Experts on
Tax Situation.
BY AL LYNCH
BY AL LYNCH
Times staff Writer

The utility contract saddled on
the city under the administration
of the late Samuel Lewis Shank is
costing the city huge sum annual
ly, a study Of the present budget
reveals.
This contract was signed in 1925
for ten-year period and is an in
heritance of Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan and his works board Natural
ly, whatever effect this contract has
had on this years budget can not
be laid at the door of the ipcum-
bent administration.
AS the result of clauses and cross
clauses in the contract, Indianapolis
taxpayers are paying a bill of ap-
proximately $375,000 a year on street
lighting that does not include build
ing and boulevard lighting on
streets taken over by the park
board.
Investigation Ordered
Every effort to reduce this figure
or break the contract has been
made since the Sullivan administra-
ton took office. With a contrac-
tural limit of only per cent slash
a year, this had been taken advan-
tage of and lights have not been
set out at the mere asking Of
precinct committeeman" according
to works board members.
Learning of contracts cost to the
taxpayers, E. Kirk Mckinney, until
recently works board president, Or
dered an investigation. However,
months of work by the city legal
department developed no means of
breaking the contract, SO carefully
was it drawn.
Under its terms, the city is pay
ing 10 cents a foot annually for all
excess cable used in light installa-
ton. This cable is guaranteed to
last a lifetime" and, according to
engineers, costs the utility less than
ST foot for the lifetime"
One Paragraph Tricky"
One paragraph of the utility con-
tract is described as tricky by
engineers. This is the provision
fixing the spacing of street stand
ards at 100 feet apart. Placing Of
lights so close together is branded
by engineering experts as "ridicu-
louS."
Hence, the city engineers used a
stagger sytem, placing lights 1875
feet apart, thus making the thirty
five feet excess cable" Accordingly,
the city pays $3.50 annual rental
for the excess cable between
standards.
Although this cost is termed ex-
ceSsive by engineering experts, they
point out that the city saves money
by not adhering to the 100-foot
provision of the contract.
Few Installations Made
If 5000 lumen lamps were in
stalled on the 100-foot basis, the
city would have to pay $34.50 a year
for the lamps in current costs alone.
"a lumen is light unit ten times
the amount of a candle power)
One hundred and fifteen 1000
lumen lamps at an annual rental
cost of $47.50 were ordered replaced
by 6,O00-lumen lamps the first part
of this week by the works board.
This saving S13 al amp annually.
Few installations are being made
and these only in emergencies, &C
cording to the works board.
