mon was preached 10y Rev. I. S. Rich
mond, pastor of Oxford circuit of the
/ Methodist church, Oxford. His subject
was you Catching It's Vision" and
ne reminded the seniors that youth
filled with life, hope and visions
should not let their aspirations end
In visions, but instead, they should
press forward and accomplish some
definite aims. After youth have ac-
complished their aspirations, then, as
old men, they can dream dreams and
mediate upon the glOries of a sue
ceSSful past. In the course of the ser
mon, Rev. Mr.. Richmond used Will
liam Booth, the great Salvation Army
leader, as an example of man who
was successfully serving a large
church in London, but who caught a
vision which changed his entire life.
He gave up his charge as pastor and
gave his life in service to the people
in the sums of the city.

Roses" the speaker was introduced
by r. G. Young, DR.. Mckee, in intro
ducing his subject, youth and Pho
neering Opportunities" used a strik-
ing illustration about a statue of Alice
Freeman Palmer at Wellesley College,
A diploma was in one hand of the
statue; in the other, a torch. A pro-
fesSor stood in the rear pointing the
way to the world. During the course
of DR.. McKee's address, he mentioned
several pioneers in various fields. AS
a pioneer, Columbus sailed the sea
en- route to an undiscovered world.
For freedom of worship, the Pilgrims
left England and came to America.
In the field of sociology, Jane Adams
was mentioned in connection with the
famous Hull House. In the field of
science, DR.. Mckee used Edison and
Burbank as chief illustrations and he

MAY LET TRAFFIC

Underpass Paving Will Be
Sufficiently Hardened
To Permit 1t

With all paving complete and the
entire project being cleared off, all
paving in the CARBOHYDRATES street
underpass area will have hardened
sufficiently to permit traffic to move
through the archway by Wednesday
of next week, it was said today by
the superintendent of the paving con-
tractors.
That does not mean that traffic
will be turned in at that time, how
ever. There has been some question
Of keeping the Spassageway closed
until traffic lights have been INSTALL
ed, but whether this will be done or
not could not be learned today.
Identification of the area is next
in line now. Much of the terracing on
the William street side has already
been done, and that part of the job
was begun today on the Garnett street
side. The parkwaNS plot in the TRAN
gle of the approaches from Garrett
street is to be levelled off and grass

Joe decided to trade in his jillopy
six because he couldn't wear it out
It's raint job would have been a dis
grace to a mummy case but it's fen
ders were still as smooth as a 1905
nickel.
Joe and his car had been in more
tight spots than the hero of a radio
serial. The old wagon wheezed like an
asthmatic oil we'll pump and it's
brakes were only fond memory yet
it bore no scratch visible to the max
ed eve.
This museum piece seemed to bear
charmed life. When Joe got tired
of waiting for the demise of this
eternal tin can he accidentally left
it parked on night on the mainline
Of local railroad.
Just as the midnight express high
balled around the bend at good go
a gust of wind waited the withered
remnant of >pre-war automotive in
dustry to safety.
Then Joe s1ost" the decrepit car
on lonely road. The next morning
he found it parked at the curb, thanks
to our alert police force. Joe had for
gotten to remove the license plates.
So, today Joe chugged the relic
to a local motor shop and traded it
in on a shiny new streamlined eight.
Fifteen years without a scratch is a
blameless life for any car but Joe's
jillopy would now have to find it's re-
ward on junk heap.
Two blocks from the garage Joe's
brand new car played the role of
baked ham to couple Of sandwich
minded taxis There was a three-car
adagio dance and then the stream
lined eight did strip tease-shedding
all four tenders in the same gesture.

Leiber Plays Hit Poorly.

DEsPITE the difference in caliber
between Hubbell and Hadley,
the Yankees went into the game
favorites to win and end the set.
Their favoritism was both a tribute
to the Yankees and dolorous cri-
terion of the Giants. The Giants
were known to be awed, jittery and
utterly lacking in confidence. And
they showed it, despite their victory.
They showed it as early as the
drst inning. With one out, Red Rolfe
Of the Yanks dropped what should
have been a single in center field.
Big Hank Leiber, who replaced Lou
Chiozza In the garden, displayed
rare bit Of bad judgment in trying
70 make a diving catch Of it.
Instead Of playing it safe, Leiber
raced toward the infield The ball
struck the ground and caromed off
Hanks chest as he dived forward.
Slowly it rolled back toward the
infield and by the time the Giants
recovered it Rolfe was on third base
and credited with a triple.
Hubbell worked carefully on Joe
Di Maggie, the next hitter, but Joe
lifted a tremendous fly to Ripple in
right field and Rolfe, of course,
trotted across after the catch.
It began to look as If this fourth
game would start and finish as had
the first three. Hadley disposed Of
the Giants In handy fashion to start
the game. But in the second inning
lAtber led OF with q single and the
Terry-go-round was In motion.

from the premises, he and the
Yankees were trailing. to !.
In came the equally pudgy Andrews,
a $3.50 knuckle baller who was picked
up on waivers from Cleveland near
the end of the season. Before Paul
could end the inning the Giants OBJ
tained a base on balls and two more
hits to tie the Yankees scoring record
for one inning in this series.
When the smoke had cleared, the
Giants were out in front, to /, and
1t was up to the gallant Hubbell to
protect that lead. In the third inning
the Giants made three errors behind
him to bring their total of boots for
the series to nine and a new series
record for four games. But Hub
refused to blow. Those three errors
cost him run, but the crooked-arm
meal ticket from Meeker, Okla, saw
to 1t that no more runs were scored
of him until the ninth. Then,
with one out Gehrig blasted only
the second home run of the series.
The blows bearing on the game
was negligible. Instead of 7-2, the
result was 7-3. But the home run
did serve to bring Gehrig world
series runs-batted-in record. Until
he drove into the right field stands
today Lou and Babe Ruth were tied
ut 80 runs driven across.

JOHNNY MCCARTHY followed
with a single. putting Hank on

Danning looped a single down the
right field hne, scoring Leiber. The,
crowd, sensing possible new deal,
began to plead with Burgess White
head for base hit.
Whitehead got his hit, but not in
manner that helped His grounder
toward Tony Lazzeri struck banning
on the leg as the Giant catcher raced
to second base. Danning. of course,
automatically was out and White
head was credited with a single. But
Mccarthy, who had gone to third on
Danning's hit, was called back after
crossing the plate and placed on
third base again.
In the end it did not matter. Hub
bell slapped a slow roller to Lazzeri.
At the crack of the bat Mccarthy
broke for the plate. Lazzeri's throw
was too late to catch him and all
hands were safe. The score was
2-1 in favor of the Giants.
Yankee pitchers in the bull pen
began to warm up hastily. but Had
ley was permitted to face Joe Moore.
1t was a fatal meeting. Moore
slammed hard single to center and
Whitehead crossed with the third run
of the frame.

lew YORK, October s.-The
nj Yankees would have gone to
the head of the class today,
4 but Prof Hubbell flunked them
on an intelligence test just when the
Bronx Bombers thought they were
ready to pack up their books and say:
Glass dismissed"
The Prof, an old hand at popping
the tough ones, dug up the oldest
puzzler in his book today. It's been
throwing the boys for 10 years, and
reads like this:
When is a screwball not a nut?"
The answer, of course. is when
it's pitched by Hubbell." II the Yanks
crammed for this quiz, their work
didn't show it.
The Giants first victory coincided
with the first new world series record
of any distinction. When Lou Gehrig
smacked his tenth series homer into
The right-field lower deck. it gave him
"a runs batted In in six series to Babe
Ruth's 33 in nine. And the Babe was
in the house to see Lou do 1t.
They put Hank Leiber back into
the Giants lineup today to get more
power. He resembled a lotion truck
skidding in mud puddle when he
played Red Rolfe's looping single into
a three-bagger in the first. but he was
both the fuse and the dynamite in the
Giants six-run explosion with two
healthy clouts to center field.

Hadley was target as long as he

he just lodged line drive by Team
mate Frank Crosetti. He still was

The customer who arrived In the
midst Of that six-run drive thought
he was in the wrong ball park. Not
only did the Giants do all the hit
ting and scoring but they drew drew
their first intentional pass Of the
series and brought out the loudest
squawk so far from the Yankees.
That came in the big second, when

peg to the catcher. The Yanks were
