FIFTH TITLE GAME
PITCHER HOYT AGAIN DOWNS RIVAL GIANTS By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sport* Editor. POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oet. 10.—The sinewy right arm and brilliant pitching of young Waite Hoyt baffled the Giants again today. Hoyt turned back the fighting McGraw men in the fifth game of the world's series by a score of 3 to 1 and put the Yanks in the lead once again. The Huggins men now have won three against two for the Giants and Hoyt has stepped forward as the pitching star of the series, having won two games. Thirty-five thousand fans cheered the Y’ank victory. Once again it was Artie Nehf who went ftiwn in defeat before the "Brooklyn sehoolby." Nehf pitched brilliantly, but his work on the mound was not as fine in the tight places as that of Hoyt, whose teammates made their hits count. The Giants outhit the Yanks, but failed to get the runs. The stick “work of Schang. ltuth. Bob Meusel and Ward coupled with a base on balls to McNally accounted for the victory. Ruth was struck out three times out of four by Nehf, but on the other occasion pulled the unexpected by laying down a bunt and beating it out. The victory of young Hoyt puts the Y'anks very much into the world’s series once more and they proyed that they are a team of fighting players. Ruth, who got into the game again despite his sore elbow, is undoubtedly an inspiration to the Y'anks. He said he hoped to play the whole series. He collapsed on the bench today after racing home with the run that put the Yanks in the lead, but resumed play in a few minutes. The Giants broke through Hoyt for a marker in the first inning. Burns got to first on a boot by McNally. Bancroft forced him at second and went to the keystone sack himself when Frisch beat out an infield hit. Y'oung then worked Hoyt for a pass that filled the bases. Kei'y, whose bat has been very ineffective during the series so far, came through with a timely single to center that brought Bancroft home. Hoyt got the Giants out with no further trouble. The Y'anks tied it up in the third. McNally walked. Schang came through with a scorching double to left and McNally pulled up at third, from where he scored on Miller's sacrifice fly. In the next inning the Yanks went into the lead when Babe Ruth started the rally by “cross•g" the Giants. Instead of swinging madly at the pill Ruth laid down a bunt and beat Nehf’s throw to first. Bob Meusel knocked one of Nehfs shoots against the left field fence for a double, on which Ruth scored. Meusel went to third when Plpp grounded out to Rawlings, and scored on a sacrifice fly to Burns In center. Burns then retired the side with a brilliant running catch. Ruth collapsed on the bench from his exertion and the pain in his left arm, but gamely came out and resumed his place In left field after a few minutes. The Giants threatened on several occasions. Meusel doubled in the third with Young on base but there were two down. In the sixth Kelly led off with a single and in the eighth Young and Kelly registered hits, but to no avail. Rawlings led the dying effort of the Giants in the ninth, when he doubled to start, but lloyt, pitching with suberb 1 rilliance. forced Smith to pop to Ward and fanned Snyder, batting for Nehf, and George Burns.

Meeker found It necessary to set notnrlcg to work outside the registration booths to relieve the registration boards of the rush. Republican city headquarters also reported that registration in negro districts and the south side is heavy. Mr. Meeker said that ho lias reports showing that registration on the south side is "medium” and In the Sixth and Seventh wards, considered Shank strongholds, very light.

PART SURVEY GIVES PROOF OF U. SJjAIN Business Conditions Show Revival of Confidence. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILLANE. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Out. 12. One-half of the journey planned in a survey of business conditions in the United States and Canada having been covered, it may be illuminating and possibly impressive to review some of the most important facts brought out and some of the changes that have taken place in conditions generally meanwhile. Unquestionably. there has been a decided improvement in the whole structure of business. Unquestionably more men will be at work this winter than seemed likely two months ago. Unquestionably there has been a revival of confidence to a fair degree. If the same measure of betterment Is discovered on the second* half of tne trip, 1921, will not have been so bleak n year commercially, financially and Industrially as was threatened. TEXTILES, FIRST TO COLLAPSE. REVIVE. The first major Industry to collapse In the great depression was that of textiles. By the same token it has been the first to revive. Today there are more spindles and looms in operation than ever before In the Nation's history. There are approximately 800.000 persons employed in textile manufacturing. Wholesale and retail merchants say fi)ey have no surplus stocks. Warehouses are bare of goods. The volume of purchasing is declared to lie above that of 1920 but merchants have to work prices down considerably. Throughout the retail drygoods trade it is accepted that business must be conducted on a smaller margin of profit then heretofore. Also it Is declared that the American public has been educated to an appreciation of the worth of good materials. There is a noticeable drop in the purchasing of flimsy, shoddy stuffs. An event of high importance received less attention than its effect at this time warranted. The Government report as to the shortage of the cotton crop of 1921 sent the price of cotton up over night from about 12 cents a pound to übove 18. This advance affects not only Ihe crop of this year but Ihe huge surplus of 1920. All told the volume of the raw cotton in America has been increased perhaps $400,000,000. Many of Ihe thousands of banks In the South leaded up with cotton loans were barely functioning. The change in the cotton situation has cleared them of their (Continued on Page Eleven.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The Sen ate will be the center of far-reaching international events this week, which wlil add several important pages to American history. Domestic problems, like taxation, will be shunted aside temporarily, while the German-Austrian and Hungarian peace treaties are ratified, and the Borah bill for free tolls for American ships passing through the Panama canal is put to a vote. No doubt is entertained by Republican leaders but that the treaties will be ratified -with reservations—after final consideration of them is begun at 11 :-10 a. m. Friday.

WAYOPENEDTO HEAR FRANCIS BY HARTMAN Wants Bond Given for His Return at Trial. UP TO PROSECUTOR Evans Visited Prisoner Saturday Police Follow Sunday.
The way to bring to this citjr Frank Francis, the “talkative burglar” arrested in Louisville, and whose confession involved J. Herbert Hartman, Republican nominee for city judge, and members of the police department in a scandal, seemed to 1 have been cleared up today. The adjournment of the grand jury at noon until tomorrow morning indicated that the authorities, who are verv reticent about facts in the case r ■ do not expect to bring Francis here today. Ira M. Holmes, counsel for Hartman, announced that when Francis is brought here he will go before Judge James A. Collins of Criminla Court' and ask that Francis be placed under bond to insure his appearance .in Marion County in the event Hartman is indicted by the grand jury. This contemplated action on the part of Hartman's attorney is taken to mean that all attempts to force the arrest of Francis in Indiana, thus taking him away from the Jurisdiction of the Louisville authorities, where he is facing burglary and grand larceny charges, have been dropped. NOW UP TO THE AUTHORITIES. It mean* also that responsibility for bringing the burglar here in order that he may personally tell the story that has involved Hartman and police officers is put squarcy up to the authorities. ’ “The ony thing we want is to have Francis here for the trial if Hartman Is indicted.” said Mr. Holmes. "That is all we have wanted from the beginning, "I have told Fletcher that. I don’t care what they do with Francis when they get through with the Hartman case.
