Ott’s Home Run Is Margin of Victory In Final Contest Sixth Inning Giants—Davis lashed a hit down the third base foul line for a double. Jackson bunted and the ball rolled off the third base line. Jackson bunt- ed and was thrown out, Bluege to Kuhel, sending Davis to third on the to left center for a double, scoring Davis. Schulte got his gloved hand on the ball but could not hold it. Crowder was tuken out of the box. Jack Russell, right-handed relief man, was summoned to the rescue. Ryan fanned on the third straight strike. Schumacher fanned, swing- ing. One run, two hits, no errors, one left. mem nn tele es BD AOMEMARESD CHEHNYOP SEIZES Senators—Myer raised a high fly to Jackson. Goslin grounded out, Critz to Terry. Manush got a single for his first hit of the game. Cronin dropped a single over Ryan’s head and Manush beat the throw in a fast dash to third base. Cronin halted at first. It was the hit-and-run play. Schulte drove a home run into the left “field pavilion, scoring Manush and Cronin ahead of him and tying the score. Moore backed up against the short fence but the ball sailed several feet over his head into the crowd. Kuhel shot a single through Critz’ legs. It was a terrific smash and much too hot for Hughte to hold. Bluege grounded to Jackson, who made a sensation stop as he fell to the ground but made a poor throw to Terry. Bluege was safe at first and Kuhel reached third. It was a hit for Bluege and an error for Jack- son, due to the extra base gained by Kuhel. Schumacher was taken out of the box and Adolfo Luque, the veteran Cuban right-hander, was called to piteh for the Giants. The Senators had connected for tive straight hits against Schumacher after being held to three blows in the first five innings. Mancuso walked out for a visit with Luque. There was another big conference in front of the plate among the Giants’ inner workers. It was apparently decided to pass Sewell intentionally.

WE'LL TELL YOU Slot machines, which had been operating openly in Burleigh county for several weeks, disappeared suddenly a week ago Thursday. State's Attorney ‘ge Register had a man out “spotting” them when they suddenly were spirited away. By the time authorities got around to making a raid all had disappeared. Participating in the effort to “clean up” these gambling devices, was At- torney General A. J. Gronna. He didn’t like the stories he was about the way they were being distributed and operated. Following their disappearance no one seemed to know where the ma- chines were, but The Searchlight knows. They are parked safely in the If anyone ever gets around to it, there may be quite a stink about the 1. When the present state administration shifted certain law enforce- ment duties to the state regulatory department, the latter organisation in- herited a number of slot machines which had been confiscated. They are them in states where they are legal—when it could. 2, What became of these slot machines is not here recorded, but sev- 3. They were put in these places under two different agreements. Un- ever profits developed. If the machine had a good “play” the profits were Juicy indeed. Under the second plan, the proprietor took no risk, other than that of 4. The danger of arrest, other than by local authorities, was negligible. At least some officials of the state regulatory department knew all about it—did nothing. 5. The identity of the owners of the machines is known to a good many persons but 1s a little difficult to prove. Rumor has it that they were man- aged on a district basis. In Minot the “bossman” was a well known boot- Jegger. In the Bismarck district it is reputed to be a prominent Morton county politician; in Jamestown a restaurant man. The number of machines in the state has been estimated as high as 800, but there is no way of checking the figure. At $15 a week, each, 800 machines would produce $12,000. In these times that is “heavy sugar.” After the recent election, when his advisers flocked in to see him, the slot machine racket was called forcibly to the notice of Governor William Langer. Some of these advisers came to commiserate, others to condemn. The latter made much of the public scandal which the slot machines were causing; told the governor their open operation was giving him a black eye, Particularly since the regulatory department was his pet. At the same time word leaked out that efforts were being made by some Officials to uncover the real backers of the slot machine project. It was then that they began to disappear. A raid was made on a roadhouse north of Bismarck and several ma- chines were found there. Some folks were so unkind as to intimate that machines owned by certain men were being “protected,” while those owned by others were being picked up, in true Chicago style. It was an open and notorious scandal. The governor finally got busy. OFFICER, DO YOUR DUTY i Out to various sheriffs went orders to clean up these siot machines. Sheriff Gray, in Mandan, received one and was s0 surprised he almost fell off his chair. But by the time he got around to confiscating them (ne knew where they were) all were parked snugly in the Bismarck storm cellar.

They announced Saturday the agreement had been sent to Pacific grain exporters for their formal signatures after which it would be formally approved here with pros- pects that it will be in effect within 10 days. BS It has been estimated that for the government to finance the export movement of this wheat would cost from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000, this to be paid by the farm administration. out of a fund being made up from two cents of the 30 cents for bushel Processing tax being levied on wheat. Former Speaker of Legislature Dies Minneapolis, Oct. 7—()—Chester H. Sheils, 73, former speaker in the North Dakota house of representa- tives and former mayor of Edgeley, N. D,, died in a Hastings, Minn., hos- pital after @ prolonged illness Thurs- day night. Death was due to a heart ailment and other complications. He had been ill nine years. i Shiels was speaker of the North in the real estate business in Edgeley, Before the scandal broke Ter Horst was looked upon as the only real candidate for beer commissioner, but now he isn’t in the running. one else will get the job. Considered strongly is Dry Enforcer F. L. Wat- kins, who worked with Langer when the governor was attorney general, but 47 men are said to have applied and all think they are “in line.” It is a case of “you pays your money and you takes your choice.” THE LADS ARE IN A MEAN MOOD Not all the words said to Governor Langer during these post-election conferences were kind. Some of the lads who have affiliated themselves with sacrifice. Mancuso drove a long hit} him were in a mood to say mean things. They feel he has torn down their |[dopted by the Farmers Union local chances along with his own. Hence they spoke plainly. Political rabbits suddenly developed the appearance and voices of lions. At one conference, with Ter Horst and Frank Vogel both present, the governor spoke bitterly to them, accused them of double-crossing him and giving bad advice. To others who were present the governor later promised that he would “clean up”, that both should go. Some believed it. Others said “apple- sauce.” Some who claim to be “in the know” contend it is even money that Ter Horst “resigns.” No one really expects Vogel to disappear from the picture until the governor goes, also. ‘WRINELES FOR MR. VOGEL But Vogel has other worries. The engineers in his department have organized a union, are holding regular meetings. They are talking about the right to organize, collective bargaining, working conditions, etc. It sounds bad to Frank because he knows what is coming. When they get ready the engineers will demand they be relieved from that five-per- cent assessment being levied by the governor, ostensibly for the support of The Leader, his personal newspaper. 4 Vogel will be in no position to fight with them about it. The highway department is getting practically all of its money from the federal govern- ment and the Roosevelt forces are strongly upholding the “collective bar- gaining” principle. If five per cent of the engineers’ salaries is “bargained out” of the Langer coffers it will be bad for Langer, fine for the engineers. ‘The deal is on the way, for chief unionite is Howard J. Taylor, engi- neer for the federal bureau of public roads, who looks after the gov ment's stake in North Dakota's highways. He is not an admirer of the five: per-cent idea. PICKING 'EM OUT OF THE HAT Anyone with an appointment to make finds no difficulty in picking Political rabbits out of the hat. On the beer commissionership deal some contend the real “feedbox tip” points toward P. D. Norton of Minot, former congressman, Norton attended one of the meetings in a local hotel last week, man- aged to pour a few words into Langer’s private ear. Now he is being picked by some as the one with the inside track. Langer has told a friend he already has selected the man but will not announce his name “until the time comes.” SOLD—FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE Those legislators who rolled over and played dead for Governor Langer last session are not having it so easy—even the considerable number who: got places on the state payroll. A house member who was appointed road supervisor at $125 a month tells about it to his friends. A farmer when elected, he sold his stock and moved his big family to town when his share of Langer’s new deal arrived. Then he found that $125 @ month in town was not as much as he had thought it would be when he lived in the country; that it costs a lot more to live in town. Besides, his neighbors are giving him the “raszberry” about votes in the legislature. They hint very strongly his legislative career is over. His job doesn’t look like it would last very long.
