BROOKLYN ANNEXES VICTORY IN SECOND BIG SERIES GAME

GRIMES HOLDS TRIBE AT BAY WITH SPITTER By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. EBBETS FIELD. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 6.—Cleveland’s Indians succumbed today to the same poison that laid out the Dodgers yesterday. Spitball pitching par excellence, which Coreleskie got into the potion of the National League champions in the opening game, v*s served back to them today and Brooklyn evened the count by winningthe second game of the big series. 3 to 0. Grimes scored a shutout for Brooklyn, holding the American Leaguers to seven hits. In only one ihning were the Clevelanders able to drive out more than om. safety. dust as Coveleskie made the Brooklyn bats almost useless yesterday, Grimes used the same spitball slants to baffle the Indians today. He was invincible and breezed through the entire, game without facing danger except in the eighth tnnipg. when a streak of wildness seized him. He walked three batsmen but pitched himself out of the bole courageously with the dangerous ‘‘Doc” Johnston at bat. He was backed brilliantly by the entire Dodger team. While Cleveland was making a vain effort to solve Grimeff, Brooklyn was having no trouble with Big Jim Bagby. The Cleveland right bander was decidedly off tije form that won him tbirty-one games this year. He was not only ineffective In the box, but made the only error of the game, a wild throw to second base that made possible the second run of the game. Bagby was relieved in the seventh inning in favor of a pinch hitter. Jack Graney. who fanned. George Uhle then took up the burden 'and performed most acceptably, striking out three of the six tnen who faced him. Brooklyn's first run came in the opening frame. After Olson had filed out, Jimmy Johnston singled and went to second on Griffith's infield out. He romped home wbetTTfach Wheat rapped viciously to center and by good baserunning, stretched bis single Into a double. > Grimes himself started the machinery that turned in Brooklyn's second run in the third inning. He singled and took second on Bagby's wild throw. Tommy Griffith came through with a timely double and scored him. Bagby was in a tight place. He purposely passed Wheat and filled the bases. Further scoring was prevented, however, when W. Johnston forced Olson and Griffith was cut down at the plate. Griffith Jumped into the limelight again in the fifth inning when he singled and scored Olson, who had previously rapped to center. Cleveland had only two real chances to score. In the second inning Gardner led off with a double, but Grime*, by quick thinking, caught him off second when he fielded Doc Tohnston’s roller. The eighth was a panicky Inning for the Brooklyn fans. But Grimes, after walking three batsmen, recovered his poise and the danger was over. With ibe exception of the eighth inning not a Cleveland player reached third base. libbets field was filled to capacity again though tbe fan* were slow in fiid’ng their places. Tbe attendance was i. HUouni-ed officially as 23.894. * With the £amr count even, both managers prob. ably will do a dot of pondering tonight r their pitching selections tomorrow. Indications uere that the tjilrd game wll he a southpaw battle with Sherrod Sjcdth on the hill for tbe Dodgers and Trailer Mails officiating for the Indians. yP'ay in detail: f The play in detail follows: I URST INNING.

G. 0. P. COLORED WOMEN’S VOTE LEADER QUITS Mrs. P. S. Dent Scores Party Heads for Discrimination Against Race. SPLIT OVER QUARTERS An exceedingly embarrassing situation confronts the Marlon County branch of the Republican pjtrty owing to the resignation from the advisory committee of the worpan'a Republican commltte of Marton County of Mrs. Peter S. Dent, 2100 Highland place. Mrs. Deut is one of the representatives of the negro vote In Marion County which the Republican party claims as its own and which it is now attemDtlng to convince that it welcomes into the party on an eqnal footing wdth the white vote. Opposition on the part of white women to granting to the negro women the same rights and privileges that are accorded the whites has been gradually growing more pronounced recently, and is worrying the managers of the Republican party, who have repeatedly promised such representation.

HEADQUARTERS MIXIP UNCOVERED IN LETTER. The most recent break is explained in ; a letter from Mrs. Dent, as follows: "Oct. 4, 1920. "Mrs. Clarence Martlndale, Chairman Re- j publican Women’s Committee, Marion County, City: i. "Dear Madam—The executive commit- j tee has not kept faith with the colored women of Marlon county in the matter of providing headquarters for them. ‘Tn company with Mrs. Ira M. Hendon j and Mr Joseph H. Broyles, we had a conference with Mr. Ralph Lemcke. "He authorized Mr. Hendon and myself to find the location and assured us that the colored women voters would be provided with headquarters. “We found rooms in the Meyer-Ktser Bank building, but nothing was done In the matter of securing the rooms. “Mr*. Hendon and myself hearing so much about the shortage of funds, and nothing having been done about headquarters for colored women, suggested to you that we could have deskrootn with your committee and let some colored woman be placed in charge, who would be in touch with the organization. “You agreed and thought the plan was good, and promised to take the matter up with Mr. Harry Hendrickson, chairman of the Marion County Republican committee. ' Mr. nendriekson evidently turned the proposition down. RECALLS EMPTY PROMISES MADE. "We were not discouraged, but b- [ lleved that onr women would be looked ! after. [ “On Tuesday, Sept 28. I sgaln took the matter up with Mr. Broyles, who tn turn stated that he would go to Mr. ! Bryson. "Mr. Broyles theo called me and said | that Mr. Bryson assured him that the colored women would be given desk room in your headquarters in a day or two. "Nothing further t?a> been done ; about It. "I feei that If your committee had 1 the Interest of my people at heart other 1 than wanting their vote# at tbta time to pot the ticket over, w* would not have to beg for room for representation of our women. "Onr group of voters ahould have the same considerstion that is given other groups of voters. "Feeling that we are dlacrlminated against in this matter. I would say that personally I consider one representative elected to the execu’lve committee would he of more value to ns than an advisory | committee that can not ad*<se. "I believe that tbe enforcement of the I civil rights law that la upon our *ta!ntc hooks Is of more importance to our group than the appointment to offices we get. "1 consider the enforcement of the thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth ! amendments of more Importance than try i rejection of the eropfy honor grudgingly bestowed upon my people through me. ! "In fine, upon the eve of thl* eleottou : I want to see the women of ( my rare , have a right to the vote upon the same i footing that their work during the World ' War cnMtled them to "My connection wfth the committee has been more humiliating to my race than my service to the committee has been beneficial "Therefore, I hereby tender my realg nation to you as a member of the ail visory committee of the woman's Uepub Lean committee of Marlon County, to take effect Immediately. “Yours very respectfully, f.Signed) "MRS.

M’CRAY BUSY FIXING HIS WAR BOND RECORD % Discovers MHtake in Assessment Sheet After Year Has Elapsed. Hy Staff Correspondent. KBNTLIND. Ind, Oct. 6.—Discovery of a mutilated record containing the tax return* of Warren T. McCray, Republican nominee for Governor, in tbe county auditor's office here, la causing considerable comment on tho candlaate'* war activities. On April 3, J 919, tbe assessor of Kentland township, in which Is Mr. McCray's rc-'idence, took the schedule of hts personal property and credited him with having $1.80(1 worth ofc government bonds. This return was deposited with the county auditor as a permanent record. More than a year later an article, said to have been Inspired by James W. Fcsler, McCray’s opponent In the Republican primary, appeared in the Chicago Herald and Examiner and disclosed that his personal property rettirn showed nly SI,BOO worth of Government bonds. This story was published on April 25. 4920. during the heat of tbe bitter primary campaign. Shortly after the facts of the expose became generallv known some on entered the auditor's office and attached another cipher to the record, thereby crediting Mr. McCray with having held SIB,OOO worth of bontts on March 1, 1910. No one tn the auditor's office knows who changed the assessment Hbcet. On April 29, 1920, S R. Slzelove, auditor of Newton County, noticed the mutilated record and wrote beneath it the following: "The above amount has been changed from SI,BOO to SIB,OOO within the last few days.

WOULD CUT OFF INDUSTRIAL GAS Schmidt Says Home Cook Stove Should Be Served First in Emergencies. Curtailment of service during times of gas shortage to industrial plants, added within the pas six months, in tbe order of their addition, as a means of assuring better service to domestic gas consumers. was ytdvocated by Gustav G: Schmidt, president of the city council, today. Mr. Schmidt announced that he is attempting to have Friday set as the date for the conference of the council gas committee with the public service commission on the affairs of the Citizens Gas Company. Meantime the council committee will be called together late today or early tomorrow to formulate definite policies which will be advocated before the commission. DISCOVERS NEW MAINS BEING LAID. Discovery that preparations are being made for the laying of a four-inch main to the new plant of the Westinghouse Lamp Company at Washington and Gray streets led Mr. Schmidt to state his position upon tbe of extending gas service to industrial concerns. "It is not right for the gas company to be laying mains which will add materially to the industrial load it is carrying, when the company's own officials have stated In public that they can not Increase their production with the present facilities,” said Mr. Schmidt. "Instead of adding to their industrial consumer* I think the gaa company should be made to prepare to shut off this class in times of shortage. "I think that whenever such an emergency arises as that which delayed the suppers of the whole community last week the company should be made to shut off these big industrial consumers which It has been adding recently.” The council head stated he also intends to find out. if possible. Just who the biggest industrial consumers are and what amounts of gas they are using, citing paragraph C of section 687 of the franchise of tbe Citizens Gas Company, in which tbe city controller is given the right to examine its books at any time. WANTS POSITION CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD With this section Mr. Schmidt pointed out the council has the power to order the city controller to look Into the matter not only of the amount of gas used by industrial consumers, bnt also, possibly. to search for evidence as to whether there is anything irregular in the manner in which the company dispose* of Its coke and other by-products from which three-fourths of its Income Is derived. Mr. Schmidt added that he does not desire to be considered ss bedding that the company should not provide gas for industries at ail. "I do hold, however.” he said, “that if the present gas-producing oapacity is not great enough to care for these industries and the domestic consumers also the industries should be shut off in times of shortage and the company should be taking steps as tost as possible to increase its facilities so that both domestic and industrial consumers may be cared for.”

A physician testified as to the nature of Hitch’s wounds, one of which near the eye, he said, was made by a blunt Instrument. Hitch was the only witness who testified Block hit him with other than his bare fist. Attorney Myers told of the trouble and said the first blow he saw was received by Hitch. The testimony of Dan Linus, clerk of Superior Court, was that Hitch nit Block first after Hitch had called Block a liar. After lengthy arguments of attorneys for the State and defense, in which Block's attorney contended his client fought in self-defense, the court declarede that was no evidence of assault and battery with Intent to kill, but that there was evidence assault and battery alone. "The court has no jurisdiction to determine the degree of an offense, and it the prosecuting witness does not wish to file charges of assault and battery against the defendant, then v the court can do nothing but. discharge the defendant,” said the judge.

TAGGART FINDS GOOD FEELING FOR DEMOCRATS League of Nations and Economy Issues Sway Trend in Indiana Politics. SUMS UP SITUATION Returning from a tour of Indiana to spend today in Indianapolis Thomas Taggart. Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, summed up the political situation as follows: “Last week I was through most of the Eighth and Eleven districts and found the situation extremely favorable. "Occasionally in spots you would fins some little dissatisfaction. “Occasionally you would find a Democrat, Progressive or Republican that had not made up his mind whether to vote for Cox or Harding. “I have just returned from a trip through the Second district, commencing at Shoals, Loogootee, Washington, Bickuell, and ending at Vincennes, and on the entire trip I found nothing but en> thusiasm amongst tbe Democrats ano many Republicans and Progressives, wh declared that they were going to vots for Cox, and gave as their reasons fol doing so, his stand on the League ol Nations. "Several of them told me they had been waiting for an expression from Senator Harding, but that his attiude in regard to the League of Nations is less definite now than when he made his speech of acceptance. HARDING’S STAND * INDEFINITE. "Some days he is following the lead of Senator Johnson, Borah and Brandegee, and then again he strays away from them and makes the statement that he is not sure what he will do If elected, but that something will be worked out of the nations to bring them together for pe^ce. "Since my trip through the Eighth and Eleventh districts I have received letters from many people of different political faith, some who were doubtful when I was there, but have since said that on account of the State issues, taxation being the principal feature, and Governor Cox’s attitude toward the League of Nations when he said, ‘I am for going in,’ has brought many people to the realization that they want something definite from our candidates, and Governor Cox, having taken a definite position, and Senator Harding indefinite, they are selecting, as their can- | didate, a man who will guarantee universal peace. There Is n oquestion bnt. that a week ago the Republicans were at the top i °r peak of their campaign. "The great victory In Maine, in which they spent over $40,000 on local organization, and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars for the purpose ot getting out their vote, made them very Jubilant "I said then, and repeat now, that she Maine election was simply a local affair, and in my judgment had no bearing on the national question. DEMOCRATS GAIN GROUND. “I am more than satisfied now that | the Democrats are gaining ground eon--Inually and the Republicans are going down mil b " "The American people are very intelligent, und if the League of Nations has been such a bugaboo, as they prerend It to be, 1 wond/r why the KfepnDlitan county committees, the State committee, and the national committee ha 9 ; not furnished their readers with copies of the covenant* of the League of Nations, j so that people themselves could read and understand; instead of issuing the document so that their people could become informed they have issued propaI an da through magazines and Kepublic- : an ’ newspapers, stating that if the Democrats won the American boys would again have to go to war. "Tbe Democrats, who have had the League of Nations, and read it, know this is not true. "The Republicans, who have been able to obtain copies of the League of Nations, and have read it, have learned that they have been misinformed by the Republican speakers and the Republican propaganda through the magazines'and 1 Republican newspapers. PEOPLE FAVOR INTERNATIONAL FEACE. "There is no question in my mind but I what the people of the United States are In favor of an international peace, and after reading the covenant of the League of Nations, I am sure that the mothers of this country are becoming satisfied that tbe only way they can obtain that peace and safety for their boys of the future is by the adoption' of the League of Nations at the coming election. From what I have- observed in the last few dnys the trend of the people of Indiana will be in the direction Tf Uox and Roosevelt on account of the League of Nations. “It is unnecessary to discuss State issues in this short interview, because the people who have been paying' taxes understand and know what the increases mean up to the present time and that their taxes will be greater than they have ever paid before.” ATTENDS MEETING OF STATE COMMITTEE. Abandoning Ms tour, of the State for one day in order to attend the meeting of the Democratic State committe in session at the Denison hotel, Thomas Taggart, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, spent today in Indianapolis.

Meetings were held at Shoals, Loogootee, Washington and BlckneU," ending with a mass meeting last night In Vincennes. The night meeting, the attendants at which completely packed the first floor (Continued on Page Two.)
