ATHLETIC FANS REACH DELIRIUM STAGE MONDAY Cubs Tight Bravely But Are Outclassed By Fighting Athletics Philadlephia. Oct. 15.—(U.K) — The world series Is over, and the Philadelphia Athletics are world's champions. What started out to be the most mediocre of these October basehall engagements ended most dramatically. No writer of fiction could have imagined the climax in which the Mackmen swept to victory over their rivals. the Chicago Cubs. After winning two hollow victories In Chicago, the new world’s champions made their first appearance in a world series on their home grounds in 15 years, and were soundly beatea. They won the fourth game of the current series by the most spectacular rally in the history' of baseball, but still they were up against a game, fighting ball club. In the fifth game, the Athletics went into the ninth inning trailing by two runs, opposed by Pat Malone, a pitcher who had let them down with two hits until that time, allowing but one man to reach second base. The the fireworks were touched off. and before the clamor of the crowd was stilled and the battle of base hits at an end. the Mackmen had scored three runs, winning the decisive game. 3 to 2. and the championship of the world to boot. Never before has a world series finished with such a touch of drama. The better ball club won, but in a manner which had 30,000 fans, including President Herbert Hoover, spellbound in the throes of delirium. Facing apparently insurmountable odds, the Chicago Cubs had gone out and piled up a convincing two run lead through the first eight innings. Two runs are not many as ball games go these days, but with Pat Malone sett-! ing the Athletics back on their heeis| inning after inning, it was dollars to doughnuts that the National league; champions would win the fifth game, i When Art French, who used to! carry footballs across the chalklines for West Point, struck out to stftyt the last half of the ninth, the fans’ started to leave Shibe park. When Max Bishop scratched a single over third base, it looked like one of those accidents which crop up in the nation- 1 al pastime to mar a practically per- : feet performance. Then "Mule'' Haas caught hold of 1 a fast one. low and inside, and drove it on a line over the right field fence, ! tying the score. Pat Malone is a pitcher whose best 1 attribute is courage. His fast breaking curve, which had turned back the , A’s inning after inning, was one thing, but his heart was as big as a 1 lion's. “Let me go. I'll get 'em." he told 1 the anxious board of strategy which ' gathered about him. Malone forced Mickey Cochjaue, 1 who bats third for Philadlephia, to roll out to Rogers Hornsby, and it * seemed as though the worst had hap- 1 pened was that the Athletics had tied 1 the score. But then Al Simmons slapped a two ' base hit up against the right field 1 score board. Still Malone seemed to have the game in hand. There was 1 a further consultation of the Cubs' 1 board of strategy, and it was decided to pass Jimmy Foxx and work otv 1 “Bing’’ Miller. 1 This ma have been grand strategy, 1 but it ended the world series. With 1 the count two and two, Miller, once a Mack cast-off, hit to right center, ’ and Al Simmons came dancing and 1 prancing home with the winning run. The fans went wild. President ' Hoover stood and clapped his hands. ' The Mackmen rushed to carry the man who had delivered the winning ‘ punch off the field on their shoulders. ' In just this dramatic manner, the ! Athletics became champions. Con- ' sidering th eseries as a whole, they 1 had earned the award. But the drama 1 of the last two games saved the 1929 series from mediocrity. “Rube” Walberg. the southpaw 1 pitcher, who entered and finished the; fifth and final game after Howard; Ehmke had been batted to all corners 1 of Shfbe park, must not be overlook- 1 ed when credit for the winning of the - championship is allotted. Walberg ' came in under trying circumstances and allowed only two hits and no runs I in five and one-third innings. Ehmke, who not only beat the Cubs 1 3 to 1 in the opening game of the ’ series but struck out 13, a new rec- I ord for such engagements, was not 1 -effective Monday. It was obvious that it was only a matter of time before the National league champions 1 would level out and knock him into ’ a cocket hat. The end for Ehmke 1 1 came in the fourth. As a matter of • fact. Howard was through when he 1 1 retired the last man in the opening 1 game at Chicago a week ago. o 1 Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays 1

'Gary School Retains North Conference Status Michigan City, Ind., Oct. 15,—(U.R>— The Northern Indiana High School Athletic association at a meeting here . last night, censured Horace Mann high school, Gary, tor violating the rule governing fees paid football officials. but left the school in the conference by killing a suspension resot lution. Horace Mann's status was placed in doubt when the school admitted having paid S2O and traveling expenses to officials, in violation of the i agreement that sls would be a stand- . ard fee by al! schools in the conference. The vote of censure instead of suspension was taken upon motion by F. N. Spaulding. Emerson high school, Gary. o ‘MULE’ HAAS IS SERIES' HERO By George Kirksey, I'P Staff Correspondent' Philadelphia. Oct. 15.-<U.R> Memories of the 1929 world series: The hero: George (Mule) Haas, tall, squint-eyed Montclair. N. J., boy, who hit two home runs at critical moments. His home run which Hack Wilson lost in the sun scored three runs in the fourth game and shattered the Cubs' morale. The Athletics went on to win. 10 to 8. With the Athletics trailing in the fifth game, 2 to 0. and one man out in the ninth. Haas drove the ball over the right field wall, scoring Max Bishop ahead of himself and tying the score. The Athletics won. 3 to 2. The goat: Hack Wilson, who played his heart out for the Cubs cause, only to become the unfortunate victim of the play that wrecked the Cubs when they virtually had the series tied up at two. games each. Wilson raced in to catch Haas' drive just back of second. The sun blinded him. He dropped helpless to his knees. The ball rolled to the fence for a home run and three runs scored when an out should have resulted. Unsung hero: Zach Taylor. Cubs' veteran catcher who played the most consistent baseball for the losing team. Obtained on waivers by the Cubs in mid-season. Taylor never once wavered in the series. Hardest luck player: Charley Grimm, captain of the losing team, who had half a dozen great efforts wiped out. by succeeding events. He made impossible catches around first base. He hit a homer with one man . on in the fourth game which broke a ( scoreless tie. He drove in the Cubs' , first run in the final game. None of ( these things counted in the end. Luckiest player: Ed Rommel, who pitched one inning of the fourth game and received credit for the victory as a result of the Athletics' 10-run rally. Best pitched game: Howard F.hmke's spectacular pitching in the first game which beat the Cubs, 3 to 1. Most courageous offensive effort: Bing Miller s slashing drive to center in the final with two strikes on him , which won the game and world champ j ionship for the Athletics. Most courageous defensive effort: ( Guy Bush's victory in the third game, pulling himself out of hole after hole by smart, stout-hearted pitching. The , Athletics got 12 men on base, but only one of them scored and the Cubs won their only game 3 to 1. Biggest disappointment. Rogers Hornsby, whose only vital contribution to the Cubs' cause was a single which drove in one run in the third game. He was helpless at the plate most of the remaining time. He fanned eight times out of 22 trips to ths plate. Smartest play: Jimmy Dykes’ steal of home in the third game which was nullified because Umpire Charley Moran called the pitch to the plate a strike, retiring Ernshaw for the third out. Best fielding plays: Hack Wilsons one-handed catch of Boley's line drive in the fourth game and Joe Boley's, play of Root’s grounder back of second in the same game. Bo.h plays looked impossible. Wilson's counted the most, saving two n>’>“ Longest remembered happening: The Athletics' ten-run rally in the seventh inning ot the fourth game when they were eight runs behind, whatever baseball is played, this amazing rally will be talked of until doomsday. Nothing like it ever happened before. Nothing like it may ever happen again. — ——y —o | WORLD SERIES STATISTICS | Although total attendance for the five games of the 1929 world series was only 190,490 compared to 199.075 paid admission.* at the four games of the 1928 series, receipts this year were $82,204 higher than last year.

He added he became interested when changes were made in the pottery schedule on the floor of the house and then he learned Burgess and Wyllie were seeking to have him dismissed. , “I think Mr. Duffy of the Pottery Workers Union, East Liverpool. 0., also has been interested in this matter,” said Koch. "I understand he also sought to have me dismissed.” Karl Langenbeck, pottery chemist, the second witness, testified Burgess had obtained a position on the tariff comm ssion for him in 1922 but that he had l>een sflmmarily discharged in
