P. ROAD Passenger and Freight Traffic at This Point “Busted” All Records ' “ September was the busiest month the North Pacific railroad office here ever had. Both the freight and passnger traflic were very heavy, incoming ani outgoing business contributing to the total volume. If it had not been for the temporary embargo on certain * ship- ments during the’ month due to the railroad strike, the record business would be even higher. The freight business of the railroad was particularly active with shipments of automobiles predominating. Food- stuff and machinery were next in im- portance and these three classes of freight were the greatest of all this type of traffic handled, More than elght percent of the pas- senger business, the remainder being te distant points. The fair at Mandan and the Wilson Bay celebration here helped to bring the total to record figures. One of the outstanding features of the passenger travel were the number of persons traveling to dis. tant points. The shipments of iive stock and feed were heavy during the past month, due in a great measure to the drouth in the western part of the state and in Montana, & BEN CLOUD HOME FROM WARS; WILL GO TO MILL CITY Native Dakotan Had Interesting Experience With the A.

Gary Sees Dropping of Production and Loss of Place for U. S. CUMMINS. BILL ATTACKED President Rea of Pennsylvania System Opposes Plan of Return of Rails Washington, Oct. 1—If unions con- trol industry in the United States “it means decay and dropping of produc- tion,” Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, declared today in pre- senting the corporation’s side of the steel strike to the senate investigating committee. “It means this country cannot keep up in the race with the world,” said Mr. Gary. “It means the condition I féar England isein today.” CUMMINS BILL’ ATTACKED St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 1—Appealing for the return of railroads to private ownership, Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, addressing the convention. of the American Bank- ers’ association today, attacked the Cummins bill pending in the United States senate as detrimental “to the progress of the railroads” and com- pared some features of it to the “fifth wheel of a wagon.” oN Analyzing the bill which is designed to solve the ralroad problem, Mr. Rea “asserted ‘that the bill contains some good features in that it provides for the return of the roadssto private ownership, for rates sufficient’to sus- tain the roads and for the pooling of earnings and traffic, but he added it discouraged operating initiative and incentive. EVERY DAY IS BIGGEST DAY IN CITY'S BUSINESS Conditions Reported Never to Have Been Better in Town's History this fall. We have just sent out ten emergency wire orders for merchand- ise. We have never’ had a month’s business. which has approached that for September,” said R. M. Bergeson of S. E. Bergeson & Son’s, clothiers, ta- di lay. Department stores, hardware dealers, merchants in every line have a similar report to make. ‘They state that the volume of business is not only the greatest in their career in this city, but that there is a far larger percen:- age of cash business, and that colle:- tions have never been better. Although central North Dakota has had-a very ordinary crop year, money seems more plentiful than ever before. Automobile dealers have more cails for cars than they can supply, and the farmers, especially, are buying better classes of cars. Women shoppers are paying aS much for ordmary cloth coats as they would have paid for fur garments two or three years ago, and they are also investing liberally in furs, which are almost 100 percsut higher than they were before the war. Bismarck bank clearings for Septem- er Were only a few thousands short of a million dollars, which is by far the largest on record. , Local railway agents report the heaviest volume of freight and passenger traffic for any September in the history of the city. The capital city has enjoyed’ an un: precedented increase in population during the las twelve months, and it is now estimated to be close to the 10,000 mark, as compared with 7,500 when the last state census was taken, three-years ago. The city is adding a third ofa million dollar's worth of paving.to its already extensive street impfovement district, and is planning to spend $100,000 on other municipal betterments, to include a $10,000 out- door swimming pool, during the year.

Considered, broadly, the men who will form the last lines of defense for the contending teams measure up to all the requirements sought in out- er gardeners. Defensively they are sure and quick judges of fly balls, steady on ground- ers past the infield, possess powerful arms and can make quick decisions when there is choice of one or more plays. Offensively some of the great- est hitters in either league, in addi- tion to fact base-runners are includ- White Sox Have Edge. But, if the -records made by the various men this season may be tak- en as an accurate criterion of their ability, the White Sox gardeners have the edge on their opponents. The mention of such men as Felsch, Jackson and Liebold, veterans of the 1917. World’s series against the New York Giants, coupled with those of Roush, the leading slugger of the Red Aggregation Neale, Magee and Dun- can, a newcomer, is sufficient to start controversy, among the fans regard- less of what the figures say. Already there is talk that Roush will outhit the mighty Jackson, and that Felsch and Liebold, will not compare with Neale, Magee and Duncan. Duncan is a fair batter but a fast fielder. His hitting will not compare with that of Jackson, who is topping the White Sox, with an average! which has been hovering around .350 the latter part of the season, Duncan has been hitting about .255, while his fielding average has been around .962. That of Jackson has been around. 971. There is some doubt just how the outfielders: will line up for the open- ing game. Manager Gleason will have Jackson in left field, and Felsch in center, The right field will be as- signed to either John Collins or Lie- bold, the choice for this position rest- ing upon whéther Manager Moran sends a right-hander on a southpaw to the mound in the opening game. The Reds will have Duncan, their new mani in the left field garden, with Roush opposing Felsch in center field. Neale will be assigned to the right field position. However, Manager Moran at the last moment may de- cide to shift these players and may send Sherwood Magee, a veteran to the out garden in the opening conflict. : Jackson vs. Duncan. ‘There should be an_ interesting struggle between the veteran Jack- son for the White 60x and Duncan. Mofan’s rookie. Duncan never has been under fire in a series of this kind but his work since joining the Red aggregation has been, of such class that he has displaced the. vet- eran Magee, and he may give Jack- son a good run.

NO SOCIAL LINES Social lines which in the past have been rigidly “held in England have broken down for the time-being at least as a result of the strike which this morning entred on its fifth day. A duke was seen driving a motor lorry through street yesterday, while dur- ing the day an earl was in the chauf- feur’s seat in the motor heading a convoy of fish from Billingsgate, The sixth earl of Port Arlington was among those whose names are found in the social register who were engaged in unloading perishable goods, milk and churns from a train, While at Paddington station Earl and Wady Drogheda were among the workers. Frederick Henry Smith, son and of the first Baron of Colwyn, was fi man on the Liverpool-London expre=s when it rode into the city today. WILSON CONTINUES TO IMPROVE BUT MUST NOT EXERT Dr. Grayson Gives Explicit Or- ders Banning Activity for President Washington, D. C. Oct. 1—With President Wilsons condition showing steady improvement, those attending him in his illness were concerned today in preventing any exertions which might cause a relax. Although Dr. Grayson had reported the president as “improving” in two bullétins yesterday, he prescribed rest again today for the patient, and White House officials expected that prescrip- tion to stand for some days to come. After a restless night, President Wil- Son fell asleep during the forenoon to- day, and’ Rear Admiral Grayson at 1 o'clock this afternoon issued the following bulletin ¢ “The président had ‘a restless night s|This year, .|Reds virtually have southpawed their SOUTHPAW MOUND ARTISTS COMING INTO HERITAGE Left-Handers Will Figure Promi- nently in Series Starting Today BATTERIES ARE STRONG | Little Choice Between Firing’ Lines of White Sox and Cincinnati Reds | Chicago, Oct. 1.—Southpaw piten-! ers, who for years have given way| in the baseball world series hall of| fame to right-handers, this year bid | fair to prove the stars of the cham-/| pionship contests. With the exception of one or two years—notably 1918—right hand twirl- ers have been the mainstays of their clubs for thirty seasons and seldom has southpaw pitching brought the world’s champion title to any club. however, the Cincinnati way to victory and two left handers; have shared with the veteran Eddie Cicotte, the burden of bringing an- other American league pennant to the Chicago White Sox. Discards Won for Reds. Two southpaws—Dutch Ruether, last year considered not good enough for the big leagues, and Slim Sallee, twice discarded—are the twirlers chiefly responsible for the Reds’ vic- tory in the National league and it is on these men that Cincinnati will de- pend largely in the fall series. Eller and Ring, the two star right hand- ers, have long done their share, but Cincinnati fans are betting on Rue- ther and Sallee. For the White Sox, Eddie Cicotte, is of course, a pitching staff by him- self, but Claude Williams has won many games with his southpaw slants and Dick Kerr has more than held his own. So it seems probable that the series this year may find Ruether-Sal- lee battling with Kerr and Williams for premier honors,* Southpaws Not Favored. Left handers have held little promi- nence in world series pitching with the one exception of 1918 when the southpaws had more than their share of glory. Babe Ruth won two games from the Chicago Cubs, while Tyler and -| Vaughn did most of the hurling for the national leaguers. Delving back irito the early records of baseball, it is found that ‘hereto- fore, the pennant winners generally have depended on right handed pitch- ers. From 1889 to 1894 there were no prominent left handed pitchers on the winning teams. Baltimore, the cham- pion in 1894, '95 and '96, had only one first class southpaw, Esper. From then until 1901 the right handers car- ried the burden of pitching. In 1901, 02 and ’03 Tannehill and Doheny helped Pittsburgh. Mathewson and McGinnity, right handers won the pen- nant for the Giants in 1904 and '05, while in 1906, ’07, 08 and ’10 Pfeister was the only left hander with the champion -Chicago Cubs. Leifield aid- ed Pittsburgh in 1909, but the right handers did most of the work. The same goes for 1911, '12 and ’13 when Mathewson was the mainstay of the Giants, although Marquard and Wiltse gave material assistance. Tyler Helped in 1914, In 1914 two right handers, James and Rudolph, and one left hander, Tyler, won for the Boston Braves. In 1915 Alexander and Mayer were re- sponsible for the Philadelphia vic- REDS WIN OPENER IN WORLD SERIES: CICOTTE BLEW UP IN FOURTH FRAME; CINNCY SLUGGERS HAVE FINE FEAST Four Tight Innings Spoiled When —Moran’s Men Bat the Pill White Sox Mound Artist Aviates All Over the Lot and Quintette of Them Romp Home Before Visitors Can Make Recovery— Star Pitcher of Americans Knocked Out of Box—Record- Breaking Crowd Sees Contest.

Eddie Cicotte, the Chicago White ., Oct. 1.—Cincinnati cinched the hen after three air-tight innings Sox’s star twirler, blew up in the first half of the fourth inning and allowed five Reds to romp home before he was batted out of the box to be replaced by Wilkinson, one of the American champs’ younger pitchers. Wilkinson held the Reds down to three runs during the next five innings. Chicago scored but once, in the second, ai walk-away for Cincinnati. Reuther, in the box for the nd the opener ended in a 9 to 1 Reds, pitched flawless ball, and but six scattering hits were registered against him. Cicotte and Wilkinson together made the Reds a present of 14 clean hits. But: one error was checked up against each team. Thirty-three thousand fans fed on raw meat and went wild when the Sox slump came in the fourth. The crowd was the great- est which ever has been packed into Redlands park, and no world series in recent years has opened amidst such intense interest. Cicotte is one of the oldest and most dependable men on the Sox pitching staff. Seldom in baseball history has a major league pitcher gone to pieces so thoroughly as he did in the fourth, and friends are unable to account for his performance. Even had Cicotte been working in his usual form, however, it is conceded that the Reds would have won. They had their batting clothes on, while the Sox were utterly unable to find Reuther when hits would have meant runs.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 1—Fair weather prevailed this morning and gave promise that the first world’s series game between the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds would be played at Red- land field this afternoon. The forecast for Cincinnati is for, un- settled weather, but the local forecaster in his prediction said he did not think it would rain, at least not enough to interfere with the game. 33,000 Fans Ready Some 33,000 fans prepared t © worship at the shrine of base- ball at Redland field today, when Cincinnati Reds, champions of the National league, and the Chicago White Sox, winners of the American league pennant, will do battle in the first game of what may be a nine-game series of the world’s baseball championship. UGLAND STOLE HIS OWN FLAX FROM TRUSTEE? Attorney General Rearrests Knox Banker Recently Given Parole 2 | David H. Ugland, only recently released from! the state peniten- tiary after serving nine months for embezzling about $200,000 from the Security State bank of Knox, is again sought on a warrant is- sued on complaint of Attorney General Langer charging grand larcency. Langer objected to the paroling of Ugland two weeks ago by the state board of pardons, de- claring that if Ugland was to serve but nine months for making free with $200,000 of other people’s money, there is many a man in the state penitentiary for stealing $40 to $200 who should be free. Asserting that this parole is an outrage and a perversion of jus- tice, the attorney general by wire last night directed State’s Attor- ney Victor Wardhope of Benson county to re-arrest the Knox bank- er, The new complaint alleges that in October, 1918, after the al- leged wrecking of the Knox bank had been discovered, and after R. 4 H. Shure of Fargo had been named trustee, Ugland extracted four loads of flax from the trus- tee’s custody. Ugland is alleg?d to have secured the assistance of farmer residing near Knox who drove the flax to an elevator at Cicotte vs. Reuther The arrangements for the series are completed even to the extent of the teams themselves, as an announcement from the headquarters of both clubs gave out the positive information that Reuther, the southpaw Red- leg, would oppose Cicotte, the right-handed hurler of the White Sox, while Ivy Wingo will back- stop Reuther, and Ray Schalk will do the catching of Cicotte’s |“shine” ball and knuckle ball.
