Going into the eighth in- ning three runs behind, the Yanks staged a rally, pounded Nehf from the box and pushed across five runs, Babe Ruth, who got a homer first time up, fanned with three men on in the eighth, Bob Meusel, next man up, hlt a single scoring two. (unningham threw wild, letting in another, bring- ing the total for the frame up to five, Snyder got & homer for the Giants in the fifth and the hitting of Frisch fcatured for the losers. Southpaws Pitch Bouthpaws—Herb Pennock for the New York Americans, and Arthur Nehf for the New York Nationals— opposed each other in the sixth game of the world series at the Polo Grounds today. The assignment was the most criti- cal of the series for the two pitchers, each of whom. has won one game in the current classic. With the series standing three to two in favor of the Yankees it depended upon Nehf to keep the Giants in the running and force the series to a decisive seventh game tomorrow. Pennock had the opportunity of pitching the Yankees to the first world’s championship it ever had won, The Polo Grounds was far =from filled when the game began, thousands bEing kept away by overcast skies, Fans were filing into the upper tier around whose upper edge there was a clear ribbon of unoccupied space. Rain drops fell as “Whitey” Witt, Yankee lead-off man,<walked to the plate. Each Score in First Tied at one run each the Néw York Nationals and New York Americans were in a deadlock at the end of the third inning of the sixth game of the world series at the Polo Grounds to- day. Both teams scored in the first inning, the Yankees on a home run by Babe Ruth that fell in the upper tler of the right field stands and the Giants on three sticcessive singles by Groh, ¥rish and Young, Both pitchers tightened up after the first inning, the Yanks going out in order in the third and the Glants in both the second and third. A Yankee hit in the .second was wasted when Schang hit into a double play. Frisch Is a Flash, Frankie Frisch, the Fordham flash, was the star of the contest, getting three hits his first three times up, one instrumental in scoring another run- ner, another a single on which Cun- ningham scored him and the third a triple on which Frisch himself scored. He made three brilllant pieces of field- ing, the first a running catch of Dugan's fly to right, the second a running scoop of Schang’s hard grounder and the third a fine stop of Scott’s bounder, Snyder's Home Run, Frank ‘“Pancho” Snyder, Giant catcher, got a home run in the fifth into the left field stands. It was his first hit of the series. Cunningham’s hit scoring Frisch also was his first hit of the series. The eighth inning was a disaster for the Giants. Passes, safe hits and an error permitted the Yanks to push across five runs and thus take'the lead at six to four. In their half, the Giants used Btengel at bat in place of Cunning- ham but the best he could do was to fly out. First Inning Yanks—Witt was the first m at bat in the sixth game of the world series but the best he could do with Nehf's offering was to lift a high fiy which Heinie Groh copped for the first out. [risch tossed out Dugan. Not so with Babe Ruth, however. The stalwart Yankee slugger put every ouncé of strength he had into his #wing and socked the ball far up in the upper right field stands for a home run, the first homer and the first score of the game. Meusel tried to emulate the Bambino but the best he conld do was to swish the empty air and he went out on strikes. 1 run, 1 hit, no errors. Giants—The Giants, too, started out with vim and wigor, tying tlie score in their half of the inning. Bancroft | fiied out to Witt but Groh singled into Tcft field and Frisch followed with an- cther terrific drive which struck Pen- eak dn #ha law, 1t was & hit. Groh TIME UP went to second. Young then hit a screeching single into center and Groh scored, though Witt's throw to Dugan put out Frisch at third, Irish Meusel then followed in his brother's foot- steps by fanning. 1 run, 3 hits, no errors.

SAW MRS, STOKESIN BED, SAYS WITNESS Damaging Testimony Intro- duced—Dictaphone Found in Her Room | New York, Oct. 15,—Joseph A, { Thornton, negro janitor in the East | 85th street apartment house in which gar Wallace, chief co-respondent in the W, E. D. Stokes divorce case, had a suite, was the first witness called when the trial was resumed today. He previously had testified that during the summer of 1914 he had seen a red-hailred woman resembling Mrs. Stokes enter the Wallace apart- ment three or four times. Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel Hol Mrs. Stokes, asked him what he | would have said if he told him that Mrs. Stokes was in Kentucky through- out the summer of 1914 and gave birth to one of her children in Denvcr | that fall. “I'd say she looked very much like the woman,” Thornton replied. After Mr. Untermyer had put the question several times and Thornton had made the same answer, Supreme Court Justice Mahoney asked the witness: "lfl that as strong as you want to | "\\IH you tell the jury definitely,” asked Mr, Untermyer, “If Mrs, Stokes was the woman you saw leaving the 36th street house?"” | When Thornton answered ‘“no” there was a flurry in the courtroom. Max Steur, chief counsel for Mr. Stokes then asked: “Is there any doubt in your mind |that Mrs. Stokes was the woman you ssaw at 35th street?” “No sir.” Mr. Untermyer arising from his seat told Thornton he had contra- dicted his previous statement, asked “was your answer to Mr, Steur true?" “No sir,” came the answer, firm and clear, Miss Agricola Byers, negress, pantry woman during the fall of 1917 and the winter of 1918 in a tea room in the house where Wallace had his apart- | ment, testified under questioning by Mr, Steur, that she had seen Mrs. {Stokes “quite a number of times” in | !the Wallace apartment in the fall of 1917.

The donor, who watched the pro- ceedings of the world conference on education at San Franclsco in June and July, belleves that lasting peace can come through education, Dr. Thomas sald, and desires to encour- age a movement calculated to pro- mote friendliness among the nations. “The Federation joins the donor in the belief that such a reformation as the award is to promote must await the longer processes of education,” Commissioner Thomas sald. "It ac- cepts also the belief that text book materials and teaching attitudes are all essential and any plan proposed must have for its principal object the bringing about of a better understand- ing between nations with the elimina~ tion of hatreds, both racial and na- tional. “A plan of education calculated to produce world amity is desired.

Then Announce His Stand—Allen Advises Martial Law ‘Washington, Oct. .I:'y.—Pr(‘n\!r‘nl Coolidge will present his views on pro- hibition to the governors' law enforce- ment conference to be held here Sat- urday and in the meantime will have no comment to make on Governor Pinchot’s suggestion that the presi- dent take into his own hands the task | of dry law enforcement. At the opening of the governors'| conference the president is expected to discuss the question of enforcement in some detail, but it is not known to what extent he will deal specifically with the Pennsylvania governor's sug- gestion as made in an address yester- day at the citizenship conference here. Mr. Coolidge discussed the enforce- ment question today at a luncheon conference with Henry J. Allen, for-|, mer governor of Kansas, who takes issue with Governor Pinchot on the responsibility for laxity in enforce- ment. The former Kansas governor said that while he had the highest re- gard for Governot Pinchot, he thought it 11l advised for him to “cast reflec- tions” upon the president in the mat- ter of prohibition enforcementy “If I were governor of a state and a city in that state defied my orders to close up saloons violating the law,” Mr. Allen sald, “the citizens of that city would wake up the next morning at the sound of a bugle reveille, and would go to bed to the tune of taps. I would keep the state military in that ecity until my orders were obeyed.” Mr. Allen explained that he had in mind “the open defiance” of Philadel- phia saloonkeepers to Governor Pin- that city. | Columbia Grapho;)libne Goes Into Bankruptcy New York, Oct. 15—An involun-| tary petition in bankruptey today was| filed in federal court against the Col- umbla Graphophone company. lia- No mention was made of assels.
