Several hundred of them stood in line part of the night afid when the gates were thrown open the pieachers were quickly filled. It wi the nearest approach to summer weather that had been voucly- safed in the series, The sun was warm but it had to penetrate layers of mist and murk that settled over the oval enclosure in banks that ob- cured one end of the playing field to those in the other. But it was warm and top coats became a super- fluity. Some optimistic bleacherites got up perspiration on imagmation. There was hot feeling of abandén about the early crowd that prevailed among those who saw the critical third game yesterday which Casey Stengel won for the Giants with) a soul-lifting home run, just beyond the reach of Babe Ruth, his rival among the current entries to the immortals, into the crowds-~ of the right-field stands. The feeling was more tense than on any other day fof the fans felt thi it if the Giants won today once again the Yankees would ‘be battling for a lost cause tomorrow. «The ball players went about their preparations listlessly and most of their time watching comedians. > : Where thé atmosphere on opening day was,gay with snticipation, that of the second and that of yesterday's charged with the most unbalancing of excitement, that of today was heavy with forebodings even when a squad of Yankees came on at 12:20 there was no cheering. They’ began to toss the ball with all appear- ance of grim determination in their faces. It was announced Wally Pipp would play first for the Yankees.

FOR DEPOSIT Supreme Court Holds Where | Interest Exceeded 6 Per Cent Protection Lost HAD SUED TO RECOVER Sought to Force Guaranty Commission to Award Claim For $5,000 He Lost The state supreme court, in an opinion handed down today, dectded that E. McQuerry of Dazey, N. D. does not have a valid claim against the Bepositors Guaranty Fund Com- mission for money lost in a closed bank on which the bank agreed’ to pay a rate of interest in excess of that permitted under the Guaranty Fund law and regulations of the commission. The court in deciding the case, af- firmed District Judge Fred Janson- ius of the Burleigh county district court and settled a legal question expected to have far-reaching effect in the settlement of claims under the Guaranty Fund Commission law. McQuerry, about October 1, 1920, read an advertisement in Fargo pa- ners that the Security State Bank of New England would take liberty bonds at par and issue certificates of deposit therefor which would be guaranteed by the North Dakota De- positors’ Guaranty Law, the court’s opinion, by Justice L. E. Birdzell, said’ McQuerry, not having on hand ‘mn amount of bonds sufficient to meet the requirements of the trans- action, corresponded with the- bank and the latter agreed to buy bonds for him at the prevailing price of 90 and issue a certificate of deposit, for par value. The plaintiff Mc- Querry drew his check in favor of the New England bank for $5,000 which was paid in regular course. ‘The bank issued a time deposit cer- tifieate: for $5,500 payable to the -piaintiff in three years with inter- est at five percent.

The court held that the plaintiff “knowingly received therefor a cer- tificate of depgsif which would on title fim to a return exceeding rate of interest permitted by aor In Hettinger county, the court sets out the banks were authorized to pay six percent interest. Under the law a@ bank could not pay more than 6 percent interest unless permitted to do so by the Guaranty Fund Com- ‘mission. ci The court said: “A provision in a depositors’ guaranty law limiti rates of interest that banks shall be permitted to charge upon deposits ean be inserted for but one object, the protection of, the guaranty fund against the consequences of loose banking methods. If a bank finds it necessary to borrow money, this act in no way limits its power to do 50, but when it seeks to borrow the len- der will loan only on thie strength of the bank's security. If the bank be in such condition that it cannot borrow on favorable terms or at all, it might then seek indtrectly to bor, row by soliciting deposits and issuing certificates of deposit, giving assur- ances that they would be secured by the depositors’ guaranty fund.
