PITCHING WON WORLD SERIES United Press Correspondent Gives Final Hitfhlijfhts On Series By Henry Maclemore IUP Staff Correspondent) ' Detroit. Oct. 9.— (U.R) — Final notes on the world series which is now lucked away in lavender and old lace, but which would be more comfortable in blankets and hot water bottles. The Detroit Tigers, like all the champions before them, won the series because of their pitchers . . In war. providence may smile on the side with the heaviest artfl lery, but in the short sprint that is the world series, it’s the pitch era who crack the whip . . . given another Warneke and the Cubs would have made it four straight . . . Likewise the Tigers if there had been another Tommy Bridges around . . But unfortunately Lon nies and Tommies don’t grow on trees . . . Lemons do. and we saw plenty of them around . . . The experts still are trying to figure out why Phil Cavaretta. Cub first ’ sacker, cut off that throw to the plate on Cochrane in the ninth in < nlng of the last game . . . That was ; futile stop' for Phil must have < known that if Mickey scored. he! wouldn’t have a chance to make a play with the ball until next | spring. Your correspondent trembles to think what would have happened to the Cubs if Warneke and Billy Herman, second baseman. had not been in the line-up . . . They were j the* flesh and bone of the team ... We finally picked a winner, but we | don’t take much credit for it. as j we didn’t make our final selection until Bridges pulled out of that hole in the ninth . . . Up until that time we had leaned toward the Cubs ... It was a series in which ; "forgotten men" did all right by themselves . . . The three substi-; tutes—Klein. Owen, and Clifton —I played the game right up to the hilt . . . Goose Goslin said he had i three incentives for hitting that. winning single . . . “Mama, Detroit, i and the dough" . . . Not to mention next year’s paycheck, eh ! Goose?. The players say that McGowan’s work behind the plate in the 11inning game in Chicago was the series’ finest bit of umpiring, and that he didn’t miss a ball or a strike all day . . . American league fans are insisting that all the trouble over George Moriarty was the result of a Cubs pre-series plan • to brow-beat the American league ■ officials . . . They point to the riding of Umpire Brick Owens by the , Cards last year as proof that a sinister scheme existed . . . We , wouldn't know about that, but we I do know' that In-other Moriarty ; Notice!

Score by innings: R H E Monmouth 000 110 o—2 4 Monroe 000 010 o—l 11 Merica and Fuelling; Stuckey and Ixmgenberger. o DEFENSE AGAIN r-rwmrnßn mrw page ons statute makes it necessary to file an action within two years after the alleged fact occurred. The defense alleged that Ratliff had sufficient opportunity to discover his alleged injuries. The plaintiff argued that Ratlift placed faith in his physicians and did not seek a diagnosis elsewhere. This, they argued, was concealment of the facts. Judge Huber M. DeVcss heard the arguments fhi 4 11 < di; ■ ’■ I verdict and took his decision under advisement. At 2:30 o’clock this afternoon he had not announced his decision. This is the second time that the defendant has asked for a directed verdict. The first request

1 came after the conclusion of the plaint ifU s evidence. On nine , other occasions the defendant asked for dismissal of the case on the grounds of alleged misconduct on the part of the attorneys for the plaintiff. The evidence in the case was j concluded early this morning. The i last witness was called by the ' defendant in surrebuttal. He wa; Dr. A. A. Nickels, now associated with the Caylor clinic. He denied statements made by Dr. Werner Duemling on rebuttal Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Duemling. testifying for the plaintiff claimed that the factors used in the last series of tre?.’ments on Ratliff were equal to 14 or 15 times an arethema dose. Such a dose m one which would produce first degree X-ray burns. Dr. Nickels disputed this statement. Arguments may be started this afternoon. The attorneys may argue four or five hours on each side. This would mean that the case would not be given the jury until Thursday afternoon or Friday. NEW COMMITTEE pon’ttnted from page one would b“ constructed.

iCONFESSES TO KILLING WOMAN Admits Poisoning Woman To Halt Stories About Daughter ’ Mineola. N. Y . Oct. 9-(U.R) Mrs. Mary Creighton confessed today that she fatally poisoned Mrs. Ada Applegate to halt report* tnat Mrs. Creighton's daughter. Ruth. , 15. maintained improper relations i with Mrs. Appclgate’a 38-year-old husband. John. She said she also feared revelation that sh? had herself indulged in abnormal relations with Appelgate, former American Legion post commander and a veterans’ bureau investigator, and that 13 years ago she had been accused of poisoning her brother and mother-in-law. She cleared Applegate of complicity in his wife’s slaying but he will be arraigned today on charges ;of criminal assault on her daughter. Mrs. Creighton was arraigned on murder charges shortly after midnight and a grand jury will be asked to indict her tomorrow. Authorities may revive, too, an investigation of the deaths in 1923 lit Newark f her IS-year-old brother and her motherin-law. The same poison discovered in the vital organs of Mrs. Applegate was responsible for the deaths of Mrs Creighton's relatives. She and her husband. John, were tried on charges of murdering his mother and she on additional charges of murdering her brother, but both were acquitted. District Attorney Martin W .Littleton said she admitted today she poisoned her ' brother “because he was a cripple and suffered’.’ The Creighton’s moved from Newark to Baldwin, N. Y.. near Mineloa, soon after their trials. Through all the intervening years they had kept neighbors and new friends from learning of their previous record. Creighton was a county surveyor. A few years ago they moved into a six-room bungalow with the Applegates. The four adults were approximately the same ages, the men 38 and the women 36. The Creightons had two children. Ruth. 15. and John. Jr.. 13. The Applegates had a 12-year-old daughter. Agnes. Perhaps two years ago. buxom Mrs. Creighton told the district attorney today. Applegate, a round faced, short but dynamic man. began "annoyiug" her. At first she I repulsed him. she said, but later submitted to “queer things." Then .not troubling to hide anything from her, she said. Applegate transferred his attentions to her early matured, attractive daugh- . ter. Mrs. Applegate, soon aware of the situation but helpless in a love rivalry with a pretty 15-year-old girl because of her 260-pound bulk I which her husband disliked, made biting comments about “that girl.” “She told me Ruth was ‘no good' i and she talked to the neighbors," ! Mrs. Creighton said without etnottion. “I got'worried about Ruth's condition affll I wanted to stop I that woman’s tongue and I decid--1 ed to do something very foolish.” ■ What she decided upon she put

into execution in mid-SepteinlM<r by buying poison. She pul small dose* of It In Mrs. Applegate’s coffee, milk, tea and soups. On Sept. 19 Mrs Applegate became I nauaated. wheat to a hospital and ! recovered. Mrs. Creighton started giving larger doses. On Sept. ; 26 she dropped a double potion in an eggnog. Applegate gave It to his wife and the next day Mrs. Applegate died. An autopsy revealed the poison. Questioning of the Creighton* re- ' vealed their connection with the two murders of 13 years ago and ' Applegate's relations with the girl. , Mrs. Creighton confessed putting the poison in Mrs. Applegate’s food and said Applegate connived with her. The district attorney hud planned to seek Indictments of both for first degree murder when, in eleventh hour questioning. Mrs. the amount of dirt and butterfat amour of blame. Ruth is held in the Shelter of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Physicians ; will examine her today to determine whether her mother’s suspicions about her condition are correct. She is a sophomore in the Baldwin high school. o STATE RESTS IN COXTtNUED FROM I Artie OVF j cord ’d. Rorer said and that information ki in the hands of investigators. | T.
