The National League champions concentrated their at- tack in the fourth inning when they drove Hoyt from the mound and Bush, who succeeded him, held the Giants helpless until the’ mighty Casev’s blow. The Yankees outhit their opponents and Ruth go: a three-beizger in four trips to the plate. Oct. 10.—When the Bronx factory whistle shrilled “noon” today the echoes ‘reverber- ated through the half-filled grand stands of the Yankee stadium base- Wall's greatest monument, where the two New York teams, Giants of the National League and Yankees of the America, were gathered to battle’ for the diamond’s greatest prize—the world series. Two hours before game time the reserve section of the grand stand yawned avidly for the other humans who shortly were to fill the vast en- closure. Three-fourths of the bleach- er seats wereyoccupied by those whe cared to line up and scramble for a long-distance view, the mezzanine floor, second deck of the monster stand, was nearly filled, and the third tier had a good sbare of chs- tomers. While hot-dog and cool drink yen- -dors barked through the stands the ns got ‘into the world series s#t- mosphere, watching “Nick” Altrock and Al Schacht, the high comedians of the diamond, go through their perennial stunts and a few new ones —including a boxing match in pan- tomine. The crowd was estimated at 60,000. It was perfect “indian summer weather” a bright gun that brought out all the colors and dried the play- ing field anda cool atmosphere that made for snappy playing and a com- fortable time watching it.

WALTON WOULD QUIT ‘Warrants To Be Replaced By ‘BOND ELECTION |FOREST FIRES NECESSITY IS | RAGING OVER TOLD VOTERS} BIG TERRITORY Mayor Lenhart, in Statement For the City Commission Explains Situation MEANS MONEY ’ SAVING Bonds If Voters Approve * Voters of the city are asked t cast their ballots in favor of a bon issue of $235,000 for the city water works system on Saturday, October 18. Mayor Lenhart, in a statement, \today in behalf of the city commis- sion, made the statement: “On Saturday, October the thir- teenth, you are asked by The City Commission to vote on a bond isshe in the sum of $235,000.00 for the pur- pose of financing the City Owned water system. It seems to me that, it is proper at this time that you be told briefly the situation at present in connection with the building and financing, in order’ that your minds may be clear on the issue befoge ua. “First, we wish to make it plain that this request for bonds does not mean that the plant is costing the city more than originally estimated. It had been originally planned to is- sue improvement warrants to cover the cost of the plant in excess of the original bond issue. We are now asking you to vote bonds in the sum of $235,000.00 in place of this sum warrants, We find that by so doing you will save a very considerable sum yearly, as the bonds will bring a much better price on the market. “Our attention has been called to a story being circulated that the bonds were asked for because the plant was exceeding the original timate, This is not the.c: ir the cost instead of being in excess of the engineer’s estimate will be re- duced by about $40,000.00. . After consultation with the engineers the Board of City Commissioners cut out thirty six blocks of mains. in the outlying districts, thereby reducing the cost. * Original Plans “The original plans and specifica- tions for a complete new system and also for additions to the old system of The Bismarck Water Supply Com- pany were made by the City En- gineer in 1920. Each of these ‘sets of plans included a filtration plant which we’are convinced is a most necessary part of a system in order that pure, safe, wholesome water be furnished at all times. (This will avoid in the future the dirty, unsafe condition of the water which existed following detailed If Anti-Klan Bill Is Passed He Will Resign Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 10— Governor J. C. Walton’ last “night offered to resign to prove his good faith in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma’ if the legis- lature at its forthcoming specia session will. enact an anti-klan law which he will submit to the law- makers.

Flannery, of St. Paul (President of the Water Company and Executor to the estate of the late Alexander McKenzie) The Board of City Commissioners, after consulting with the City gineer and Lewis P, Wolff, consult- ing engineer, decided to bring in the sixteen inch main from the resevoirs into the city along Avenue C. in- stead of Broadway. (This- change was also made to keep down the cost.) This work is well under way. Over a mile has been completed and the balance will be completed this fall. This additional supply main was put in at the demand of the in- surance underwriters, for fire pro- tection, and will o result in an adequate domestic supply ith in- creased pressure to those water us- ers who heretofore have been depriv- ed of a sufficient samaly obs of ater, Work Progressing Rapi “The work on the vite plant is progressing rapidly. ‘The engine is ready to be shipped and the plant should be réady for operation in the spring. “Great care has been taken in the designing of the plant. Great care in the building of it is being taken. No effort has been spared to keep ;down the cost and at the same time give the city an up to date, first class property in every way. After the plans and specifications led been worked out by the City En- gineer, he called to Bismarck, C. Arthur Brown, of Chicago, .

As time for convention approached there were to be no tightly drawn questions over which to stage a fight Chairman Church said the questions to be taken up, inorder, were: Whether to establish a state daily newspaper, and generally there ap- peared to be opposition to this; des- ignating an official state paper, and three had heén mentioned—the Far- mer-Labor Record of Bismarck, the present official Nonpartisnn Leader. and John Andrews’ “The Progre: sive;” whether to dissolve all rel: tions with the Nationa] Nonpartisan League, and since the uitional cr- ganization is not functioning and is not furnishing the National Leader for the 50 cents yearly dues alloted to the‘national organization i+ is net receiving the money, and this ques- tion WE declared moot by Chairman, Church; fourth, whether to change the name Nonpartisan League, and there appeared to be plenty of room for discussion on ole ans Changing The eation <0 ‘changing name of Nonpartisan League was certain to go before the convention.

J. C. Miller of Bottin elected temporary chairman, follow- ed the harmony program in naming the credentials, committee, announc- ing that he intended to divide ap- pointments between “the two fac- tions here.” Aside from the airing of differ- ences which have arisen among leaguers, particularly with respect to A. C. Townley, William Lemke and the state committee, interest ap- peared to center upon a method by which the league could organize for the next campaign. Resolutions adopted by the Griggs and Burleigh county conventions asked for a new convention next February ve unite progressive proposals. Interpreta- tidns on the resolutions differed as to whether the intent shoulg be an abandonment of the name Nonparti- san League and the formation of a new party to which all “Progres- sives” would be invited, or simply a reorganization all down the line un- der the same or another name. Four Questions Up. Four questions were set before the convention by the state committee's call—whether to establish a daily pa- per, naming of official hewspaper or- gan, relations with the National Nonpartisan League and whether to change the name of the organiza- tion. “This convention was called by your chairman on the advice of mem- bers at large, to thresh out difficul- ties ang get in shape for the next campaign,” said Chairman Church. “While there arose some differences as to the method by which the state committee apportioned delegates, I want to say that if there was a take it was one of judgment and not: of the heart. “We are here for only one purpose —to get in shape for the campaign next year, for unification not deci- mation of the league ranks. I be- lieve the fruit is ripe for picking in the next campaign.” |, Asks Abuse Left Out. Chairman Church: asked members to leave abuse, desire to retaliat or vindicativeness out of their dis- cussions, A move, apparently supported by “insurgents” was made to elect a temporary chairman by secret bal- lot but this was voted down after discussion and Representative Miller named chairman by acclamation. Representative Frank Vogel of Mc- Lean county was named temporary secretary. Chairman Miller appointed Sane tor Ralph Ingerson, C. P. Pete: ang J. A.
