P»M» *«■» CWHIMiMt I Mew York. Oct. 9.—(Special to Daily ■Democrat) —"Dope. Any thick liquid ■ or semi-fluid,” Funk and Wagnall'a ■ standard dictionary. And the big book adds: “Specifically: Axle Grease." Which just about expresses par ■ value of all the pronostications ccarenting the past week’s unpleasantness at the Polo grounds, where John McOraw's Giants trampled all over the scarcely resisting corpse of a once great Yankee machine for four straight victories and the third world's championship for New York's Napoleon of baseball. The dope, in the parlance of the day, was all wet. Or course. It must he admitted that the writer, in these columns predicted that the Giants would win four straight. Rut the rest of the crowd that hit it right can be counted on the fingers of John Silver's right hand. When the coroner holds his inquest orer the body, which will probably be floating in the Harlem river today, death will be declared due to a com plication of causes. Suspicion will point to John McCraw. Before one starts in to tell how bad the Yanks were, one’s hat must come off to the stocky littla Giant manager, is handling of 111 s men in pinches, the eastiron nerve and calm confldence that left Hugh McQuillan in the box after a bad start in the [ first inning of the fourth game for example, his baseball strategy that i never failed to show the willing 1 Giants the way to the needed tally, these were the biggest factor in one of the biggest upsets in baseball history. Coming only a brief span behind the Giant manager in the lineup for credit, stands the entire Giant team. Fighting spirit that wouldn’t stop, that always produced the punch even when left flat-footed at the start, oozed from each Giant like ectoplasm from a medium. When they went to bat there was electricity in the air. One sensed runs coming. In the field they went alter everything. h'ow, when a ball club gives this kind of service behind pitching such as Art Nehf, Hugh McQuillan, Jesse Barnes, and last, but greatest, Jack Scott produced, there Is little reason | to wonder why they win. The Giants playing as they did in the 1922 series, with the same breaks probably would have beaten any club in baseball. Rut the Yankees, harsh though it sounds to say, weren’t even a ball club. They appeared to the writer a collection of largely indifferent hesihding, careless, over-rated stars—leaderless, and without the will to win. They actually gave the impression of not caring whether they won or not. Probably they did, because the losers' share in the series provided only 13,22.1 for each player and this, to the high salaried Yanks is scarcely Pocket money. Another factor in the demise of the grand old dope was the inability of Miller Huggins to do anytbiug about h The Yanks beyond a doubt were not working with their diminutive manager. They quarreled with him enrusse, tt is reported, just before the first game, and again after the second. Where McGraw was broadcasting confidence to every Giant, the Yanks h.ol their antennae tuned for a far different wave length than that on 'chlch Huggins was sending. _ Hoggins is a smart manager, but he T-as out of his element trying to B 'eer a team like the Yanks to victory over McOraw's men. In the final same of the aeries, which the Giants w on yesterday, 6to 3, Huggins used "bat seemed good judgment in passng Young, filling the bases and flinging George Kelly to bat with out and a run needed to tie.

r IYEOMEN EXPECT TO VISIT HERE i) : IN NEAR FUTURE 1— 1 S. E. Brown Returns From 1 Conference With Mr. McKee in Detroit I IS STILL ENTHUSIASTIC i Board of Directors Instruct Mr. Farmer to Spend Three Days Here S. E. Brown, district manager for the Yeomei, returned last evening from Detroit where he went to talk over Decatur affairs with Mark T. McKee. chairman of the location com- ! mittee of the Brotherhood. Mr. Me- , Kee was very anxious to learn of Decatur affairs and surprised that the people here felt he had overlooked an appointment of considerable importance. As he left tlie office several weeks ago he directed an asistant to wire here postponing the date of his visit here until plans could lie made. He hoped this would be within a week or two but did not intend that a definite date should be made to that effect. At the last meeting of the board of directors a few days ago, .Mr. A. N. Farmer was dirceted to arrange to devote two or three days to this city and Mr. McKee promised to arrange his affairs to come with him. Mr. Farmer is very busy and has not been able so far to make the arrange--1 ments to come here but, will do so soon. Both McKee and Farmer are still enthusiastic about the location of the home in Decatur and will come as soon as possible to complete investigations. The fact that about three hundred -ities are striving for the home makes t easily understood that those in harge have many things to look as ter. However we have never doubted far. a moment that this city will be given a fair chance and that we still have the best of chance to land the school and home for children. It is expected that further word will be received in a few days. o Atlantic Shippers Resent U. S.

ADAMS COUNTY LITTER FAR IN LEAD IN WEIGHT Schwartz Litter of Poland China Hogs Weighed 3,040 Pounds SWINE DAY A SUCCESS Hundreds of People Attended Meeting Held at Schwartz Farm Eleven pure bred Poland China hogs, belonging to the same litter, and owned by C. W. R. Schwartz, Adams county farmer residing near Berne, weighed 3,040, when officially weighed by the directors of the Hoosier Ton Litter club, in which the hogs are entered. The hogs were 180 days old today. This weight is far in advance of the weight of any litter in the state whirl! has been reported so far, and according to J. R. Wiley, of Purdue University, this litter is expected to outweigh any ; litter in the state by many pounds. Several hundred people attended a Swine Day meeting held at the Schwartz farm today, which had been arranged by L. M. Busche, county agricultural agent of this county. Mr. Schwartz fed the hogs oil corn and skimmed milk from a herd of pure bred Holstein cattle. They were farrowed on April 11, 1922. Every member of the litter has been registered. The litter contains five barrows and six sows. The Schwartz litter attracted swine breeders and noted authorities on swine from far and near today. Moving pictures of the litter and crowd were taken by representatives of the Poland China Breeders' Association. Talks were made by J. R. Wiley, of Purdue University, R. A. Hayne, of the International Harvester Compnay extension department, and several others. Mr. Wiley stated today that he believed the Schwartz litter would win the championship in the state by a few hundred pounds. The next highest weight yet reported, is 2,610 pounds. That litter was the first one reported over the ton mark, and is owned by H. F. Norman, of Miami county. The Hoosier Ton Litter club is being conducted under the auspices of the Indiana Live Stock Breeders’ Association and the Purdue University Extension Department. A gold medal will be given to Mr. Schwartz for producing a ton litter. There are now thirty litters in the state which have reached the ton mark. The idea behind the ton litter club is economic bog production. Statistics show that the more hogs there are to the litter at marketing time, the more profit per head is realized.

TURKS WITHIN A DAY'S MARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE Allied Generals and Turkish Leader Renew Peace Efforts Today ENGLISH DISSENTION Possibility of Overthrow of Lloyd George Government Discussed Mudania, Oct. 9 —Kemalist legions were within a day's march of Constantinople, as allied generals met with Ismet Paslia in a renewed effort to untangle the near eastern problem today. In spite of the promise of Ismet, Turkish' (nationalist representative, to cease the concentration of troops in the neutral areas, the Kemalists surged into the forbidden area. Turkish cavalry have reached Shile and Yarmise, both places far within the neutral zone near the Bosphorus, at the right of tlie Sea ot Marmora. Yarmise is within a day’s march of Constantinople. Tlie cavalry is also nearing Karayakobi. which is in the same area. The concentration in the neutral zone on the west of the Sea of Marmora in the vicinity of Chanak is also continuing. In this area infantry have replaced cavalry which is taken to mean that the Turks intend to dig in to hold their positions. Latest Peace Plan The latest allied plan of peace, which includes the immediate withdrawals of the Greeks from Thrace and the occupation of that territory by the allies for d period of one month, after which a Turkish civil administration may be set up, was presented to Ismet by the military representatives of Creat Britain, France and Italy. The situation was somewhat re. lieved when the Greek cabinet instructed the Greek representative to inform the allies that the government would order its nationals out of Thrace. The Greeks, however, ask for two mouths, instead of one, to evacuate.

Garvin, writer for the Observer, whose opinion carries great weight is a critic of the government. The observer and many other papers, some of them that have long been friendly to Lloyd George are clamoring for a change in government following the militant attitude the cabinet has taken in dealing with the Kemalists in the near east. The recent manifesto Issued from 10 Downing street urging the Dominions to aid in repelling the Turks from the neutral zone is blamed for precipitating the present attacks on Lloyd George.
