BY DENMAN THOMPS SPORTS EDITOR OF THE STAR. NEW YORK, October 8.—Drama of the most vivid type fairly satu- rated the 4-to-3 victory achieved to- day by the New York Yankees, American League pennant winners, over the Pittsburgh Pirates, National ¥ Lcague standard bearers, to gain the 1927 championship of the base ball world. Before some 60,000 fans jammed into the huge stadium owned by Col. Jacob Ruppert on a ficld treacherous afoot duc to an al-night downpour and under gray skies that contained a threat of more rain, thére was un- folded a battle that for tense situa- tions and thrills far surpassed any of the previous contests of the set. In registering their fourth straight victory over the Buccancers, the henchmen of Miller Huggins made world series history by equaling the the feat of the Boston Braves of 1914 in scoring a quartet of con- secutive triumphs over the Phila- delphia Athletics, the only ~other diamond machine ever to attain this distinction. $200,000 Wild Pitch. Records went by the board again, too, for, in addition to Ruth's second home-run smiash of the series, a mighty wallop that, coming with a mate on the runway and giving the Yankees two runs they sorely needed to boost the Babe's own record for circuit smashes in these titular tilts to 10, it produced the only $200,000 wild pitch ever committed. Had another game been necessary it would have added $200,000 to the receipts for the meries. John Miljus was the victim of this “fgown from the Goddess of Fortune and it was ordained by fate that it should prove a mocking climax to a brand of pitching immediately preced- ing that was as courageous as any ever exhibited. Following the tally recorded by the Pirates off Wilcy Moore in the open- ing round on Lloyd Waner’s infield hit and a sturdy safety by Glenn Wright, which promptly was matched when Earl Combs, Mark Koenig and Ruth evolved singles in succession, the contenders continued abreast until ‘the fifth, when Babe unleashed the yound-trip. wallop that put New York in front. Score Tied in Seventh. Carmen Hill, the bespectacled right | hander who started on the mound for the Corsairs, was the victim of this and with Moore hurling in a generally efficient manner, 1t appeared the Ruthian rap would settle the issue. Moore was a culprit along with Tony Lazzeri in felding miscues that led to 2 puir of Pirate tallies that tied the scere in the seventh, however, and when the last half of the ninth inning arrived the battle still was deadlocked. Miftjus’ control levers failed prop- erly to function when he faced the thitial Yankee batsman and Combs yeceived a free ticket to first base on Sour pitched balls. The hurler who made such an impressive showing as a relief pitcher for Kremer in the opening game at Pittsburgh suffered ‘when his captain. Pie Traynor, dashed in and Kicked what was intended as a sacrificial tap from the bat of Koenig, and which quite properly was recorded as a bit. In_this predicament the Pirate board of strategy ordered the inten- tional passing of Ruth, which was ac- complished with four exceedingly wide ‘pitches. This filled the bases and ‘brought up Lou Gehrig, the Columbia varsity boy. who gave the illustrious ‘Bambino such a stern chase for homerun honors in the season re- ‘cently ended. Miljus Fanned Gehrig. Miljus displayed not only a brilliant mssortment of shoots in fanning Gehrig as the great throng was held gripped with expectancy, but a hizh flegree of courage as well, and when he proceeded to victimize Bob Meusel in a similar manner he was accorded @ noisy tribute of appreciation by the partisan _spectators whose cause he was battling against, Miljus got the jump on Lazzeri, 100, when Tony fouled the first bali pitched to him high up into the left field stand for a strike and he seemed neaded for a niche in the hall of fame, hut the next delivery carried the brand of Kismet, for it carried high and far wide of the plate and the world series was ended abruptly by as startling a climax as base bail's autumnal classic ever has produced. Johnny Gooch, who had entered the game as Miljus’ battery mate when “(Continued on Page 2, Column 2,) GOLDSTEIN RELEASED. October kS .

Nechitch, Jugoslavian Min- ister to Bulgaria, has informed his government of the results of his con- versation with M. Bouroff, Bulgarian minister - of foreign affairs, over the recent border raids and the as- sassination of Brig. Gen. Michael Kovachevitch. Assurances were | given him that Soffa is doing every- thing possible to put a stop to the activities of the comitadjis, or irregu- ars, but the government is handi- capped because of the small num- ber of troops at its disposal. Feeling in Belgrade is still running high. Fear was expressed that there will be public manifestations tomor- row morning when Gen. Kovachevitch is buried in Belgrade. The ional Defense Association has issued a manifesto to its members as well as all other patriotic organizations to attend the funeral in a body to pro- test against “the heinous outrage.” Officers, both active and reserve students at the universities, also ha\:cl announced their intention of partici- pating in a manifestation.

C FEDERALS PURSLUE GOMEZ REBELS 10 MOUNTAIN REGION 10,000 Calles Troops Now in Field Against Forces of Revolutionists. GOVERNMENT CLAIMS CONTROL OF SITUATION Obregon Leaves for Home After Almost Constant Conferences With President. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, October 8.—Gens. Gomez and Almada with their revolu- tionary forces are in the mountainous Perote region of the state of Vera Cruz. Thus far they have avoided combat with the pursuing federal troops under Gens. Escobar and Aguirre. This is the official information in Mexico City and it is augmented by reports to the newspaper El Sol, which says that the main body of the vebels has been bombed by federal | nirplanes to the southeast of Perote. Engagements between the contend- ing sides are still possible at any time, in the opinion of military ob- servers, who, however, think that the | rebels may succeed in prolonging the time by remaining hidden in the mountains, where pursuit is difficult. There is speculation also as t whether Gomez may attempt to reach the Vera Cruz seacoast, and thus be enabled to escape to a foreign coun- which other revolutionary lead- ers have done in the past. Federal Forces Reinforced. The federal forces in the field azainst the Gomez-Almada rebels have bean reinforced to 10,000 men, El Uni- versal Grafico announces. official information goes the rebels still said to number not more than 1,500 or 2,000. The paper asserts that a third new federal column, commanded by Gen. Lazaro Cardenas, is proceeding from the coast toward the Perote region to complete the encircling movement of the insurgents, alreadv under way by the two columns commanded by Fens. Esobar and Aguirre. The government continues to assert its complete controi of the situation. Reference is made in the brief gov- ernmental communications to the un- succassful D2 La Huerta movement in Sonora. The fact that Gen. Obregon the last remaining presidential candi- date and strong supporter of the Calles government, is leaving for his home in Sonora State immediately, is taken as evidence of the government's confi- dence that the latest revolt is com- pietely in hand. Confers With Calles, Obregon since the attempt started has been in almost constant confer- ence with the President at Chapultepec Castle where a sort of supreme war headquarters has been established with Calles in direct personal charge. The headquarters of the presidential staff is there and the war department has moved to the castle temporarily. The secretary of war, Gen. Amaro, and Gen. Alvarez, chief of the presi- dential staff, are the president’s right hand men, and Obregon has been one of his closest counsellors. Observers think that Gen. Obregon, who has stood shoulder to shoulder with Senor Calles himself in the supreme war council, would not be returning to Sonora if any feeling of apprehension lingered in the mind of the president and the members of the government. Dispatches from San Luis Potosi say that 18 prominent clvilians of that place and several nearby towns have been arrested and are held for t charged with complicity in the Gome Serrano uprising. El Sol says that number of prominent former sup- porters of the late President Carranz are hooked for arrest in the same con- nection, and names Juan Barragan, ex-chief of Carranza's staff under Carranza, and Candido Aguilar, who was Carranza’s foreign minister. New Governor Appointed. The federal Senate has appointed Senator Abel Rodriguez of Chihuahua as provis ernor of the state of Vera Cruz. state government of Vera Cruz has been suspended by the federal gov- crnment, which has assumed control because of the revolutionary situa- tion and _disturbed political condi- tions in Vera Cruz.

NEW YORK, October 9.—An un- exploded bomb found early today under the wreckage of the four- story tenement at 416 West Thirty- fitth street, in which four persons were killed and 12 injured, in an explosion yesterday, solved the mystery of the blast, detectives said. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 8.—Four per- sons were Kkilled and more than dozen injured today in an explosion that wrecked a four-story tenement building in West Thirty-fifth street. Police and building inspectors, after a preliminary examination, expressed the opinion that the explosion had been caused by a bomb or dynamite, adding that the demolition had been so complete that it was impossible to state definitely what had caused the blast. The densely congested West Side tenement district in which the explo- sion happened was thrown into a panic by the blast, requiring the efforts of a large force of police reserves to re- store order. Several of the injured were children who had been playing near the build- ing when the walls collapsed and who were struck by falling reckage. These suffered cuts and bruises. Tha force of the explosion was so great that it lifted the building from its foundation and dropped it back a mass of ruins, witnesses said. Four priests, from St Church, across the stree scene of the explosion, were among the first to reach the ruins. They ear- ried out to two of the children who had been playing in the alleyway and took them to St. Mary's Hospital, which adjoins the demolished building. The force of the blast broke large. windows in a sunroom of the hospital and threa patients were cut by broken glass. Considerable excitement was caused there by the roar of the ex- plosion.

COVELL T0 STUDY MARKET SITE DATA Commissioners Direct Ex- haustive Survey of Claims for Various Locations. The District Commissioners yester- day relicved themselves of the pre- liminary work in connection with the selection of a mnew location for the farmers’ produce market, by directing Maj. W. E. R. Covell, senior assistant Engineer Commisisoner, to make an exhaustive study of the voluminous collection of material submitted in sup- port of the various proposed sites at the recent public hearings. The assignment was given to Maj. Covell because of his efficient handling of the advance work on the proposed municipal airport. The Commission- ers expect him to make an abbreviated outline of the merits of the different sites as pointed out by their respective advocates. and prepare a report which will aid them in reaching a final sion. Covell Now Convalescing. Maj. Covell, however, is still un- aware of the action of the Commis- sioners in selecting him for this im- portant work. He is convalescing at Walter Reed Hospital from a stom- ach ailment, which developed shortly after his return from the Middle \West, where he went with Warren B. Had- ley, District electrical engineer, to in- spect new street lighting instaliations. As soon as Maj. Covell prepares a report hased on his studies, the Com- missioners plan to make a personai inspection of all the proposed market sites and then drew up their recom- mendations to Congress. The Com- missioners, by congressional direction, must submit a report embodving a recommendation for a_ site not later than December 15. 1If a decislon is veached prior to that date, and it probably will be, the Commisioners do not plan to make public their | choice until the report has reached the Capitol. Must Study Arguments. Maj. Covell's new assignment con- fronts him with a tedious and pains- taking study, which will require him to read the stenographic transcript of about 10 hours of verbal arguments taken during the public hearings in addition to a number of briefs which already have been submitted. Other briefs are expected to be filed this week as the Commissioners have given the proponents of the various sites an opportunity to augment their testi- n_this way. Covell also will be required to compile statistics showing the assessed value of the land in the different pro- posed . market areas. The estimated value of the properties already has jbeen ‘given the Commissioners by the several groups interested in the new location for the market, but the Com- missioners are anxious to compare this information with the assessments | et FIGHT ON POTOMAG PLANTS INCREASES Architects Ready to Take Power Matter Before Con- gress if Necessary.

Peaslee, chairman of the institute’s national committee on Plan of Washington and Environs. Will Reintroduce Bill. Coincidentally, Senator Norris of Nebraska, back in Washington to await the opening of Congress, yester- day reiterated his intention to intro- duce again his bill for Government de- velopment of water power at Great Falls. The National Capital Park and Planning Commission, with the sup- port of a number of local and national organizations, has gone on record in favor of preserving the Falls and the gorge. When the Potomac River Corpor: tion of Delaware applied to the Fed- eral Power Commission several months ago for a preliminary permit looking to private development of the waterpower, the Park and Planning Commission filed a letter with the power board setting forth the extent to which the power development would destroy the natural scenery sought to be preserved for park purpases. Development of Central Park, New York, and of the Rock Creek Valley here, is cited in the architect’s pro- test as illustrating how great forward movements in constructive planning have triumphed over opposition. The late James Bryce, one-time British Ambassador, is quoted to show that an international problem is involved. Aid Promised in Campaign. Assurances of support in the cam- paign to protect the District’s natural scenic assets in the interest of the millions who make pilgrimages to the Nation’s Capital are, it is declared, coming in from all over the country. ¥rom New Jersey, North Carolina and Colorado vehement denunciations of what is called a commercial project of exploitation and sacrilege have been received, it is said. The statement of the architects, made public at the Octagon, national headquarters of the institute, by President Milton B. Medary of Philadelphia, follows: “On behalf of the American Insti- tute of Architects, and as a member of its national committee on the plan of Washington and environs, it is my duty to file a protest’ against any power development, private or public, of the gorge of the Potomac River or of the Great Falls district. This ob- jection is based on the following grounds: “At stake is an important element in the setting of the National Capital, which in its entirety is a question of national and international interest and importance.

GOULD LINCOLN. essive Republicans of the Sen- ate are about to go on a rampage for a presidential candidate of their own. Senator Norris of Nebraska is their selection, at least for the time being, and was so declared after a prelimi- nary meeting in which Senators Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa and Nye of North Dakota took part. A second meeting, to be attended by others of the progressive group, and possibly by Republican progressives of the House, is slated for this week. Senator Borah, discussing the mat- ter, declared that some of the Re- publican progressives had reached the conclusion it was time they put a candidate in the field to gather in delegates in the agricultural States of the Middle West and the West. “Is Platform in Himself.” “Senator Norris suits me,” Idaho Senator declaved. He added that undoubtedly ths progressives would frame a tentative platform, and the nator Norris is a_platform in ' f. He has a positive record on many important issues.” _While the presidential boom for the Nebraska Senator was receiving im- petus, which it has not had hitherto outside of his home State and Wiscon- n, Senator Norris returned yester- ay from the West, breathing fire and defiance to Hastern conservatives, in- cluding in the list President Coolidge ;{'mli Charles Evans Hughes of New o Referring to the talk of drafting President Coolidge for the G.

If he is renuminated, and the Democrats nominate’ a man who is not reactionary, thé Democrats will elect a President in 1928.” West Will Oppose Hughes. The West, he said, would oppose Mr. Hughes as an Eastern reactionary if he were nominated. Senator Norris said that he would be glad to support Senator Borah for President, or Senator Hiram John- son of California, former Gov. Pin- chot of Pennsylvania.or his own col- league, Senator Howell of Nebraska. Any one of them should be accepta- ble to the Progressives of the West, he_said. Without sayving that he favored Gov. Al Smith of New York for President over a conservative East- ern Republican, Senator Norris did say that he considered Smith more progressive than either President Coolidge or Mr. Hughes. He stressed Gov. Smith’s position in favor of Government’ control of water power, a matter in which Senator Norris has himself been intensely interested. The Nebraska Senator added that he did not believe that the wet and dry issue would be an important question in the West during the cam- paign next year. He admitted that there were groups of extreme drys and extreme wets, but said there was a great group of voters who were more interested in other questions vitally affecting the West, among them agriculture. « Does Not Hope to Be Named. When the subject of his own can- didacy was broached to him, Senator Norris said: 3 “I am not a candidate. I am not’ deceiving myself. I realize perfectly that no man holding the views 1 do is going to be nominated. Senator Norris, however, has no objection to being the candidate of his own State delegation to the Re- publican national convention, nor that of other State delegations if they wish to support him for the nomination.
