CLEVELAND WINS 6TH GAME 1 TO 0

BURNS DRIVES FIRST MARKER OVER IN SIXTH Speaker Singles After Two Out and Trots Home on Smashing Hit. MAILS OPPOSES SMITH By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. LEAGUE PARK, CLEVELAND, Oct. 11. —Their position stronger strategically than at any time since the 1920 series began, Cleveland's rampaging Indians set out today to finish the job of crashing the championship ambitions of the Brooklyn Dodgers. With the count three and two, and two more games to be played in this baseballcrazy town, the Indians this afternoon confidently asserted their ability to make it four straight and end the series on their own lot With “Duster” Mails ready to work today and Coveleskie in reserve for tomorrow, Speaker undoubtedly was “sitting pretty” so far as his pitchers were concerned and, furthermore, he was leading a club that was going bat crazy. Behind the Indians were one of the wildest mobs of baseball fans that ever sat In at a world's series. The weather continued warm, and an overcast sky with gray couds was being dispersed by a stiff wind which swept across the playing held. Swirls of dust were kicked up In the Infield and during the practice the players frequently were compelled to stop work to get the dust out of their eyes. When the Indians took the field for their batting practice they were given a great demonstration. Jim Bagby, one of yesterday's heroes, went Into left field to chase files. He was almost mobbed by a gang of enthusiastic admirers. In spite of the stiff wind blowing in from right field. Elmer Smith propelled a prodigious drive over the wall in exactly the same spot where his record home run was made yesterday. Sherry Smith was assigned to pitch today's game for Brooklyn. Manager Robinson said shortly after he reached the field. The fan3 In the left field bleachers amused themselves by pouring into the field over the fence every time a ball was hit In their direction. After a couple dozen balls had been carried away into the bleachers. Speaker went out and appealed to the fans to keep ofT the field and leave enough balls to play the game with. They heeded Tris’ request, but another squad of tans immediately hopped over the barrier and surrounded the Indian manager and compelled him to pose for a photograph. Jimmy Johnston, limping on the bad right leg that kept him out of yesterday’s game, batted with the Brooklyn regulars, ns did Sheehan, who substituted for him yesterday. The stands were packed by the time the Dodgers went In for batting practice. Manager ltoh’nson hit to the infield with Krueger working at the plate. Sheehan started the work-out at third base, while Olson and McCabe alternated at short. Neis and Griffith were in right field. One fair fan provided a lot of amusement for the crowd when she evaded a big policeman and ran half way across the field with anew white baseball clutched in her hand. The crowd gave her a cheer when she ran back to the gate holding the ball above her bead in triumph. Just before the Cleveland club went out to practice Mayor Fitzgerald- of Cleveland, presented Warn by and Smith with diamond studded watch fobs, the gift of Cleveland fans. Mails for Cleveland and Smith for Brooklyn warmed up alone. Krueger worked with Smith and Nunamaker received from Mails. The Cleveland infield was given a riotous ovation when they trotted out to their positions. A pretty girl In a lavender suit Invaded left field just before the game started and posed Evans and Jamieson for a photograph. The crowd took tne opportunity to yell again. Umpire Connolly drew the next shout when he sauntered from the Cleveland dugout and opured a basketful of balls into their receptacle near the home plate. The gronnd-keepers then took over the field and repaired the chalk-lines and filled up the little holes about the plate which -were left by the batting practice.

COST SERVICE PLAN OPPOSED BY DR. JAMESON f "' Street Railway Head Changes His Mind, Giving Reasons. RESULT OF OBSERVATION Dr. Henry Jameson, president of the board of directors of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, told the board of public works today that he has changed his mind and Is opposed to the service-at-cost plan, which several months ago he stated was the salvation of the company’s financial plight. He made this statement during a discussion of rerouting of cars in the downtown district. His change of attitude has resulted from a study of results of the scrvice-at-cost plan in other cities, notably In Boston, where it has brought an Increase in fares to 10 cents with only $17,000 more profit than was earned with the 5-cent fare and a loss of the good will of the public, he indicated. I The servlce-at-cost plan, which has been approved by Mayor Jewett and Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby, provides that the company shall be permitted to increase its fares to cover anticipated costs of operation and improvements so as to guarantee fixed return on the investment. SUGGESTS CROSSTOWN LINE. When President. George Lemaux of the board suggested that since-the tracks in Virginia avenue have been laid and servieo running through that highway with a consequent lessening of street car traffic on South street that it is time to begin consideration of the establishment of a cross-town lino running from the end of Virginia avenue through South street to the end of Kentucky avenue, Dr. Jameson said the company stands willing to cooperate with the board at any time. The board talked over with Dr. Jameson anil James Trcfton. superintendent of the company, petitions of the West Washing ton Street Merchants Association and thirty-nine south side residents for re-routing downtown of lines of Interest to them and decided to deny both. The West Washington street merchants asked that the West Michigan, West Tenth and West Washington street cars he run from Capitol avenue and Washington street* sooth to Maryland street, west to Illinois street, north to Washington street nod west to Capitol avenue inatead of vice versa as the rou’tng now stands. WISH SOITH SIDE BOLTING. The south aiders desired that all couth aide cars running into the business district over V rglnia avenue be run through Maryland street to Meridian, north to Washington street and ea.st to Virginia avenue, instead of w-sst in Maryland street, south In Pennsylvania street, west In Georgia street, north in Meridian street and east In Maryland street to Virginia avenue, as at present. In letters to the petitioners President Lemaux stated It was impossible to grant the demands because the time has come when all the cars cannot he routed so as to touch the corners of Illinois and Washington streets and Meridian and Washington streets. “Indianapolis has outgrown such an arrangement,” Mr. Lemaux said, adding that there should be a general conference of citizens to arrange for an entirely new routing system. The board received one proposal for the grading, graveling and curbing ot Centennial street from Tenth street to the first alley north of Twelfth street from George W. McCray, who bid $.'U7 per iiDeal foot.

COX DECLARES PACKERS FEAR HIS ELECTION Charges Big Meat Men Do Not Wish Kenyon Bill Passed. NOMINEE IS OUT IN OPEN SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. ll.—Charges that the big packers are fighting him because they do not wlah the Kenyon bill regulating the cold storage interests passed were made by Governor James M. Cox in a speech here today. “The senatorial oligarchy blocked the passage of the bill last session and believing the same will be true-under a reactionary candidate, the packers are backing the senatorial candidate,” be said. “I favor a Federal law limiting the period of cold storage." A drive on pro-leaguers In the Republican ranks will be Governor Cox’s main objective from now on, the Deinocraitc candidate said In opening his invasion of Illinois here today. Cox declared his energies would be aimed along this Hue because “Senator Harding has deserted Taft, Hughes, Wickershnin and Root and gone over Into the camp of the ‘irreconciliables’ by pledging rejection of the covenant." To accomplish his aim, the Democratic nominee plans to use both “persuasion” and "force.” Democratic emissaries, It was learned, will endeavor to persuado Republican pro-league leaders to break with Harding. or at least dWcontinuo their portAt the same time the Governor in hts speeches, expects to attack Taft, Hoover and others by asserting they cannot conscientiously support Harding since he has rejected the league covenant which they previously Indorsed with reservetions at least. His action In making public correspondence between Taft and President Wilson, while the latter was at the peace conference, was Intended to show that Taft had backed up Wilson.

Forrest, general manager, la out of the city on hls vacation, but Mr. Schmidt refused to agree, stating; “We do not want to postpone this conference because we are going to run Into some bad weather before long and we do not want to face the same conditions which brought about the public demand for an Investigation all winter long. “We want to do something at once." The council head Indicated that he may have some questions to ask of gas officials which would reveal some startling conditions not hitherto publicly known. A committee of members of the South Side Women’s Club, led by Mrs. Jacob Itelffel, vico president, caino before the board of works today.

John Burroughs Says Vote For Cox and League Will Insure Peace cf World

3emocratic Nominee Is Stronger Man, More Progressive, States Famous Naturalist By HENRY F. WOODS. At Woodchuck Lodge, in the heart of the Catskills, peace reigns in the pleasant solitude of the everlasting h'.lis. It is the serene and pleasant life that the master of Woodchuck Lodge, John Burroughs, naturalist and scientist known throughout the world wherever books are read, has lived and loved throughout his more than 83 years of life. Jt is not strange, therefore, that a man who has loved natcre ami his kind and whose life has flowed on placidly In all the environments of a peaceful countryside should desire with all the force of a strong nature that the blessings of peace should be assured to humanity for all time to come. For John Burroughs Is ardently for the League of Nations as the greatest and surest instrument for the preservation of the peace of the world. The naturalist’s Interests have always been primarily those of the student of nature, the scholar and scientist, but they are not exclusively so. For many years of his life he has had contact with many men in many different walks of life, scientists, writers, arlii*s, soldiers, statesmen, and his Americanism Is so stanch and weep-rooted that questions of the public welfare have always enlisted his thought. Although an independent In politics, he has always taken a stand when it came time to cast his vote. In this campaign he has taken his stand. It is for Cox and the League of Nations.

SAYS INDIANA MINES HAVE NO COAL FOR STATE Thomas M. Fitzgerald Makes Statement at Fuel Hearings. The statement of Thomas M. Fitzgerald of the Oapltol Coal Company that Indiana miners have no coal to sell to Indiana consumers and the statement by Howard Young, counsel for the Indiana Special Coal and Food Commission, that the commission will not attempt to place any legal Interpretation regarding Its orders, were the outstanding features of the hearing on complaints of coal retailers. wholesalers and operators held today In. the Senate chamber of the Statehouse by the commission. J. B. Bunting, president of the Bunting Coal Company of Warsaw, who presented the commission with the first petition for a rehearing following 'he issuance of the coal orders, was the first coal dealer called by Chairman Eschbaeh. All dealers were sworn, a procedure heretofore ignored In hearings by the commission. Scale books aud other data were presented to the commission in Mr. Bunting's request for a modification of order No. 3, as affecting hls company. Delivery expenses to large end small consumer, according to Mr. Bunting, vary to such an extent that he can not operate at a marginal profit of $2.25. STATE EXAMINER TESTIFIES. J. 11. O'Neill, state examiner, testified regarding the statements of Mr. Bunting und of the records submitted to the commisson. Mr. O'Neill gave figures showing that 1,175 tons of coal has been sold for $lO,506.(51 from April 1 to Sept. 1 this year.

Spaan Makes Clear Pact Stand on Labor Workmen at the plant of the 'Worm Packing House were addressed at noon today by Henry N. Spaan, Democratic candidate for Congressman from the Seventh District, on the provisions of article 23 of the League of Nations covenant, as It affects tho American working man. “By subdivision ‘AI of article 23,” Mr. Spaan said, “the league agrees ‘to secure and maintain fair and humane conditions of labor for men, women and children, both In their own countries and in all countries to which their commercial and Industrial relations extend and for that purpose will establish and maintain the necessary international organizations.’ ” Mr. Spann explained those subdivisions of article 23 which relate to the nrmaneut of nations and to the traffic In women and drugs, which Is prevalent In many countries in the old world, and which can be result: ted only tfeMMgh sura a league,

Sitting In his workroom in Woodchuck Lodge, the naturalist gave his reasons for his support of the Democratic candidate for the presidency which, he said, might be summarized under these three heads: “1. Because I am for the League of Nations as the only way human thought has devised to.put an end to wars. “2. As a sequence to the first, because Cox is for the League of Nations. “3. Because Cox is the stronger man of the two candidates, the more progressive and more representative of the idealism of the nation.” “Perhaps,” said Mr. Burroughs, “the three reasons might better be expressed as one, for I believe there is only one ssue in this campaign, the League of Nations. “Necessarily, to be for that Issue Is to be for the man who has pledged himself to do all In his power to bring about Its complete establishment. Governor Cox has declared himself for it. Senator Harding, as well as we arc able to Judge from his speeches, Is not a friend of the league.” Mr. Burroughs’ summing up of his reasons for favoring Governor Cox’s candidacy came as the conclusion of a conversation in which he discussed at length the issues of the campaign, the achievement* of President Wilson through two administrations, with particular reference to the conduct of the war; the contrasting records of the Democratic and Republican candidates, and some points of similarity of traits possessed In common by Governor Cox and Colonel Roosevelt. LOOKS AFTER TRArS DESPITE RAIN. Mr. Burroughs had Just returned from a morning in the woods. it was a sodden morning, and to the heavy rain which had drenched the hills and valleys overnight were added a drizzle which persisted all the forenoon, and clouds of mist which drifted along (Continued on Pago Eleven.)

MILITARY AID CHARGE MET BY THE PRESIDENT Full Report of Wilson’s Statewant at Feace Conference Session Given Public. WASHINGTON, Oct 11.—As refuta tion of the charge by Senator Spencer, Republican, Missouri, that Uresldelit Wilson promised Ronmanla and Serbia American military aid, In men and ships, during hls participation in the peace conference, a transcript of a stenographic report of the President's utterances at a secret plenary session of the conference on May 31, 1919. was made public today at the White House. The President was quoted In this report as having stated at the session: “How can a power like the United States, for example—for I can speak for no other—after stvnlng this treaty.

HOOVER NOT IN HARMONY WITH G. 0. P. ON PACT Contends League Essential and Indorses Many Wilson Features. MAKES IT CLEAR HERE By YOLNEY B. FOWLER. Herbert Hoover, who spoke for the Republican party at the Columbia Club last Saturday, is not at all in harmony with Senator Warren G. Harding on the League of Nations. Mr. Hoover did not recede one lota from his stand that there must be a League of Nations and that the league which President Wilson sponsored is not at fault in many of its important provisions. _s t “Inasmuch as forty rations, comprising three-quarters of the people of the globe, have embraced the League of Nations as a term expressing certain ideas, I prefer that term, but I care little for terminology,” said Mr. Hoover. “The essential thing is that the Republican party has pledged itself by platform, by the actions of Its majority in the Senate, by the repeated statements of Senator Harding, that they undertake the fundamental mission to pat into living being the principle of an organized association of nations for the preservation of peace. ° nt of that Promise is the test of the entire sincerity, integrity nnd statesmanship 0 f the Republican party. • “This is a positive undertaking. ... u f * aa undertaking to establish such an association that will be effectual as far as human hand can make it effectual for its purpose.” CAUSED NERVOUSNESS ; TANARUS, IN JUMPING g. o, p. ranks.

Senator Harding ia his address at Des Moines, la., on Thursday, declared he had “turned his back on the league," that he did not wish to “risk the final solution of the problem by being too specific now,” and added: “I understand the position of the Democratic candidate and he understands mine. “In simple words, it is that he favors going Into the league and I favor staving out.” Before his address Saturday Mr. Hoover was asked by the Times what he thought of this and if it in any way altered his attitude toward Senator Harding's candidacy. He thought for a moment and then slowly replied: “lon will find my answer to that In my address today.” There was in Mr. Hoover’s reply to the Times’ question no direct denial ot affirmation that Mr. Harding's views on the league are at variance with his own. Search of his address for the renly to the question, however, leads to this direct statement: “My personal view with regard to the practical development of a league is that some articles m the present treaty must be abandoned and some modified.” No -turning °f hi s back” or “trapping of the league” In this.
