Both the Pirates and Yankees| scored in the first inning. L. Waner, first up, singled, went to seconld on Barnhart’s infield out and third on P. Waner's out. Wright's single brought “Little Poison” in. Successive singles by Combs, Koe- nig and Ruth resulted in the Yan- kees' score. Hill then settled down and struck out Gehrig, Meusel and Lazzeri to retire the side. The Pirates got three men on the bases in the second inning, but good fielding support behind Moore kept them from scoring. In the Yankees' half Collins got a double, but his mates could not bring ‘him home. In the third Moore and Hill were in charge of the situation, and neither team threatened. In the fifth Babe Ruth got his sec- ond home run of the series, a drive that scored Earl Combs ahead of him and put the Yanks out in front by the score of 3 to FIRST INNING.

YANKEES —Koenig up: Grantham |the first ball | delivery. Entered as second class matte Washington, D. C. BY D Sports o MAN THOMPSON. fitor of The Star, NKEE STADIUM, October §. Facing the necessity of winning today or losing the championship, Manager Donie Bush sent Carmen Hill to the mound in the fourth game of the world series. This right hander, who, like his teammate Meadows, eveglasses, was opposed by Moore. Grantham was restored to his po- sition at second base, Rhyne being on the bench. Lloyd Waner opened the game, which started five minutes after the by meeting Moore's with a slow bounder to in front of second base. Mark came in fast, grabbed the ball and whipped it to Gehrig, apparently flag- ging the runner, but Umpire Quigley ruled him safe. It was a base hit. Lloyd Waner went to second when Koenig tossed out Barnhart and was compelied to hold the base when Du- gan grabbed Paul Waner's grounder and then flagged him at the initial corner. Wright then slashed the first ball pitched to right. That scored Lloyd Waner with the first run of the game. Ruth's throw home was wide, and when teher Collins sli ped on the soft ground, he couldn’t make any effort to get off & throw to retire Wright, who continued on to second base, Traynor then rapped to Dugan, and when the latter tagged Wright as he sprinted for third, the initial half inning ended with the Buccaneers one run to the good. Combs had a count of one and one when he slashed a single to right. It | was a roller that Grantham made a desperate attempt could to intercept, but not quite reach. Koenig met pitched for a sharp safety to right. Paul Waner took the ball on the first bound and Combs was compelled to pull up at second base, which brought up Ruth, whose homer with two on in the seventh inning vesterday was one of the features of that overwhelming Yankee victory. he Babe had a strike charged against him when he fouled Hill's first He then duplicated the ef- forts of his teammates by slashing a single to right that scored Combs and sent Koenig to third, as the crowd roared. This tied the score. Gehrig took a ball, fouled one strike and took another, which he missed completely, then inspected an inside hook and fanned by swinging at a low ball he had to reach for. Meusel didn't offer at a curved first strike and then took another good one as Ruth set sail for second. Catcher Smith waited to make sure of Koenig’s intentions and then pegged to Grantham, but too late to get Ruth, who slid into the bag safely under the throw. Meusel was called out on strikes. Lazzeri was similarly vic- timized, Hill using only four deliveries Foeni WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION g Star. WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 19271-THIRTY-EIGHT PAGES. SIDELIGHTS OF THE GAME in the process. Two of the strikes, in- cluding the last one, were of the call- ed variety, and Tony protested that the final one was too low. This left Koenig and Ruth on third and sec- ond respectively with the score tied. { one all. Grantham bunted to Dugan on the first ball pitched to open the second inning. Joe evidently was expecting this, for he pounced on the Hall with alacrity and easily tossed him out. Harris inspected two wide ones and then achieved a single on his rap to Koenig in deep short. It was Moon's second hit of the series. Smith took a wide one and then lined to Ruth. vho had to move only a couple of steps to get the hall. Moore pitched three wide ones hefore he could locate the plate for his hurling opponent and then save him another inaccurate heave. Lloyd Waner had two strikes and one ball when he hopped a drive down the first base line. Moore ran over and got the ball, but slipped, and his throw arrived too late to nip the Pirate at first. This loaded the bases. Moore failed to locate the plate for Barnhart for his first two deliveries, and the latter after taking one strike bounded over Moore's head to second ’lnss. where Lazzeri took the ball and istepped on the sack, forcing Lloyd Waner and pulling the Yankee twirler out of a dangerous hole. Dugan's rap carried past Traynor, but Wright intercepted it in deep short, and steadying himself on the soggy ground got off a retiring throw. Collins waited to the limit before send- ing a hot smash down the left field line that netted him two bases. It was the Yankee catcher's first hit of the series. Moore had one called strike when he bounded to Wright, who held Collins at second while tossing out Moore. Combs then died the same way on the first ball pitched. Leading off for the Pirates at the start of the third inning, Paul Waner slashed a single past Dugan to left field. Wright met the first ball tched for a bounder to Laz i, who flagged Paul Waner on the line and completed the dual killing by tos:ing to Gehrig. This was snappy stuff. Traynor waited to the limit, and after fouling a couple, sent a long drive to left, which Meusel got under without much difficulty. Koenis narrowly missed achieving his second consecutive single when he met Hill's first delivery and sent it {bounding toward right. Grantham chased over, however, speared the sphere and made a good throw to flag |the Yankee shortstop. This was a 'good play, considering the treacherous condition of the soggy ground, and it was loudly applauded. The count on Ruth was three and one when he bounded directly to Moon Harris, who stepped on first for the out. Gehrig had no better luck, bounding squarely to Grantham, and the third round iended with the count still knotted. robbed Koenig of a hit, taking the ball back on the grass and throwing him out.

By the Associated Pr APPLETON, Wis., October 8.—The unexplained collapse of the Kimber- ly Clarke paper mill at Kimberly, near. here, yesterday, which cost at least six lives, may have a larger death list when work of clearing the wreckage of twisted steel and fallen brick is finished. Five of the who were caught in the collapse were still unaccounted for after an all-night search by 900 fellow workmen, laboring under the glare of flood lights. Company of- ficials held little hope that they would be found alive. Three Saved From Ruins. Three men were taken from the ruins alive last night. The men said they feared they might not be reach- ed before death came from exhaus- tion, but they “felt fine,” and were uninjured. They were George Pocan,- 18: Chester Mauthe, 20, and Albert Jan- set, 21; all of Kimberly. The dead men are: Otto Krueger, 29, Kimberly, married, four children: Peter Van Langveldt, 62, Little ’ married; Robert Herman Sprangers, Darboy; Brockman, 40, Kimberly, four children. Brockman died late vesterday from his injuries. Only two of the 15 in- jured ‘men lying in St. Elizabeth's Hospital here are in danger of death, doctors said. Five Ca:ught in Basement. married, The five missing men were working in the basement of the two-story build- ing which held the heater plant when the first floor collapsed upon them. Without warning the second floor and then the roof of wood and steel fell down upon the twisted mass of brick, mortar and wrecked machinery. Three walls remained standing after the crash. These walls later were pulled down. With aid summoned from every available soutce within a radius of 15 miles, a volunteer crew began the rescue wol Moans that came from the debris ceased at noon. All night acetylene torches bit into the twisted steel girders, to cut a way to the imprisoned men. Cat Crossing Road Nearly Costs Life Of Auto Passenger A strolling cat nearly cost the life of William C. Crews, 43, of School- field, Va., early this morning on Central avenue near the District line. Crews was riding in an auto- mobile driven by Maj. W. Atkins of Baltimore. As the car was going east on Central avenue a leisurely feline walked across the road and Maj. Atkins turned the car aside to avoid hitting it. The car struck a rock and over- turned. Crews suffered a compound fracture of the right hip, disloca- | tion of the right arm and shoulder 1 and lacerations of the right forearm and abdomen.

FRONTIERS ARE GUARDED ' AGAINST BOMBING RAIDS Border Closed as Troops Seek to Stamp Out Groups of Mace- donian Terrorists. By the Associated Press. BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, October 8. —Relations between Jugoslavia and| Bulgaria were at their highest point of tension today since the Balkan War of 1912 The Jugoslav Minister in Sofia was under instructions to demand dis- bandment of the Comitadji (irregular) bands in Macedonia on the alternative of a diplomatic break. The border was closed, and Jugoslav troops were seeking to stamp out the Macedonian terroists reported to be roaming the | region seeking favorable opportunities | to carry out their bombing raids. One border patrol clashed with a strong force of Comitadjis near Sketchevir, on the Albanian frontier, and after a spirited fight forced them to retire. Reinforcements were sent to this section as well as the Bul-| garian frontier. The good effeet of the recent con- | ferences of Jugoslav and Bulgarian | statesmen directed at removing causes | of friction has been almost entirely undone. Feeling High in Belgrade. This result, it is stated, was exact | Iy whar the Comitadji hoped to attain | by their present activities, for once | the relations of the two countries| were put on a sound friendly basis, | the occupation of these bands would be_gone. Feeling is running high among all parties in Belgrade. The govern- ment apparently has unanimous sup- port in making strongest representa- tions to Sofia. A grave view of the situation is taken in diplomatic circles. The British and French Ministers called upon Foreign Minister Marinko- vitch to obtain information as to the steps contemplated by the govern- ment. Several armed bands are reported to be operating in the districts of Vranje and Bitolje. The Omitadjis are small groups and dispense rapidly after delivering their_attacks, thus making the task of suppressing them most difficult. Few Casualties Reported. Full details of the latest outrages are lacking, but while the raiders have done a certain amount of dam- age with bombs, it is believed there have been few casualties. It is es- tablished that there were no victims in the frontier village of Kilsura, attacked yesterday. The raiders there are said to have been led by Voivode Velichko, upon whose head there has long been a price. The newspapers, regardless of political shade, are de- manding examplary and prompt pun- ishment of the two men captured as alleged members of the gang which on ‘Thursday assassinated. Brig. Gen.

Bulgaria Expresses Regret. London dispatches have reported that the Bulgarian government has expressed wTegret to Jugoslavia over the assassination of Gen. Kovache- vitch and the frontier raids by the Comitadji. FRENCH SEEK SOLUTION. sing Friendly Offices in Effort to Calm Situation. PARIS, October 8 (£).—The French government is using its friendly offi- ces to calm the Jugoslav-Bulgarian situation, It is believed that the Bulgarian comitadjls, or irregulars, who are charged with diserders along the frontier, are working more on their own account than for Bulgaria. The regions where the troubles have oc- curred are inhabited by Macedonians, many of whom are equally hostile to Jugoslavia and Bulgaria. French diplomatic circles scout a tendency in the Jugoslav press to blame Italian influence for the present controversy, the Jugoslav newspr- pers being more or less hostile to Italy, especially since the Albanian question was brought to a head by the treaty of Tirana between Italy and Albania. FIND STOLEN WATCHES IN HANDS OF INTRUDER Arrest Made at Naval Air Station of Man Who Is Suspected of Plundering. By the Associated Press. LAKEHURST, N.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. | Getting the Government out of busi- | ness 'is one thing and keeping the | Government out when once it has let | 8o is quite another. This has been demonstrated in the very significant argument that now is going on with respect to the merchant marine. President Coolidge has said flatly he wanted the ships turned over to private owners. Many members of Congress are fearful of such a policy. Yet the Jones law specifically com- mits Congress to “ultimate private ownership.” Between now and the time private owners'take over the merchant marine replacements are necessary. Congress is to be asked for money to build cer- tain cargo carriers needed in foreign trade. War Behind Scenes. Behind the scenes a merry war is going on between the advocates of | temporary Government control and those who would have the Government sell the ships at almost any prices so as to get them into private hands. The request for more money ta build replacement ships has met with vigor- ous opposition from the school which believes in getting the Government sut of business at once. Now there has heen a new turn in the argument. Chairman O’Connor of the Shipping Board is out with a statement that it isn’t enough merely te dell ships to private owners, but that they must be protected against the ruinous competition of foreign steamship lines, which enjoy certain advantages from their governments. Mr. O’Connor_favors some form of Government aid. There are varicus ways in which the private steamship lines can be helped. One is by sub- stantial subsidies for carrying the mail. Other methods consist of spe- cial advantages or rates for goods car- ried in quantity in American bottoms. Third Plan Cited. Another is by Government encour- agement of cargoes for the American merchant marine in co-operation with the railroads. Indeed, the plan ad- vanced by Edward N. Hurley of Chi- cago, former chairman of the Ship- ning Board, that the railroads buy the Government fleet and operate them in conjunction with the railroad systems, implies that a certain amount of busi- ness would go into these railroad- awned ships which they would not oth- erwise get. “Some people,” says Mr. O'Conner, “seem to have an idea that when the Shipping Board has sold a line to a private operator that the responsi- bility of the board has ceased with respect to the operation of that par- ticular line. This is not the case at all. The responsibility of the board for the welfare of the line which is sold to a private operator does net cease. It is incumbent upon us to develop and encourage to the extent of our ability a line of ships operated by private American capita - “The owners of foreign ships will attempt the destruction of private op- erators as fast as ocean lines are taken over for private operation, em- ploying tactics which they ‘would not dare to use against the same lines while being operated by the Govern- ment.” 3 Final Say Up to Congress. WV hen Congress begins to inquire into the competitive situation that has developed, there will be many mem- bers who will insist that the time is not ripe to end Government ownership or control. No member of the board | likes to say that openely, but that is the general impression of how the hoard feels about it, though the Execu- tive, of course, is committed in ths opposite direction, which means that Congress will have final say and that the issue may be decided at the next session, when money for replacements s sought.

President Coolidge today received Informally in his office the three Com- missioners of the District of Columbia, who called to pay their respects. This was the first opportunity Col. Wil- liam B.

It was understood that some of the more important matters affecting the District which will probably call for legislation this coming Winter were briefly touched upon during this audi- ence. Scientists to Go 500 Feet Below Surface of Pacific By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., October &-— Plans for an expedition that has | its destination 500 feet below the | surface of the Pacific Ocean were revealed here today by George M. Wiiliamson, one of the Williamson brothers who filmed Jules Verne's “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” 13 years ago. In the project announced by Wil- liamson three men will be lowered to a depth of 500 feet below the sur- face of the ocean in a steel ball- shaped chamber, and from heavy slass portholes they will study deep sea life. A specially built schooner carrying the party of scientists who will perform the researches will sail from San Diego, Calif., within the next 60 days for the West Coast of Mexico, where the fll"ifl‘t’ experiment is to be made, he said. COWEN SENTENGED T0 YEAR IN PRISON Former Ship Board Official Accused of Presenting False Vouchers. Clifford P. Cowen, 36 years old, of Lewiston, Pa., former office manager of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, w: sentenced today by Chief Justice Mc- Coy in Criminal Division 1, to spend one year at Occoquan for presenting false vouchers against the United States. The indictment, returned in January, 1926, is in 10 counts and charges that false claims for supposed travel expenses totaling $3,651.10 were collected by Cowen and appropriated to his own use. Attorney John S. Hornback made a plea for probation, declaring that this was Cowen's first offense. In denving the application the chief justice declared that he had been in- formed that the notary public before whom the certification had been made had lost his job and to place Cowen on probation would make the notary the only person to suffer from the transaction. This was not a case of a single instance of defrauding the Government, the chief justice declared. but a persistent course of wrong conduct. ‘The chief justice announced his in- tention of writing the Attorney Gen- eral of what he called a growing practice among notaries public to make certification of persons appear- ing before them when the persons did not appear and such action has resulted in the perpetration of a number of frauds. Cowen, according to the report of the p sbation officer ho investigated the case, used the false vouchers to cover expenses for himself and his mother from Takoma, Wash., and also to defray the expenses of his honey- moon when he married a daughter of | one of the owners of a nationally known hcsiery company. The vouch- ers were not only mae out in Cow en’s own name, but in the names various people, many of whom were fictitious. . BLAST WRECKS BUILDING. PITTSBURGH, Pa., October 8§ (#).— A score of persons were thrown from their beds but escaped injury when a three-story brick building occupied by non-union miners was wrecked by an explosion today at Clairton, near here.

Frank Epetta, owner of the building, his wife and nine children occupied the first floor, and families of ‘miners employed at the Pittsburgh Coal Co.’s Warden Mine resided in the upper apartments. CHAPIN BROWN DIES OF HEART ATTACK Succumbs Suddenly in His Office After Working Far Into Night. Stricken with a heart attack after working far into the night, Chapin Brown, prominent lawyer and former president of the District of Columbia Bar Association, died in his office in the Oriental Building, 600 F street, about 4:30 o'clock this morning. He called his physician, Dr. Harry Zehner of 1603 Nineteenth street, at 3:30, but when the doctor arriced half an hour later it was too late to save him. Mr. Brown, a bachelor of 72, lived at 1509 Twenty-second street and was in_the habit of working late at his office, Dr. Zehner said today. He had a couch there and frequently stayed all night. Dr. Zehner said Mr. Brown had often called him to his office be- tween 3 and 5 o'clock in the morning and he had found him suffering from an attack of heart trouble, The last time he went there previous to this morning was 8 or 10 months ago, he said.
