GIANTS COP WORLD CHAMPS’ CROWN

i'ANKEES FACE COCKY FOE IN EIGHTH MATCH Frigid Weather Holds Down Attendance at Polo Grounds. HOYT YS. NEHF FOI.O GROUNDS. XETV YORK, Oct, 13. —By tlieir victory today in the eighth game of the world’s series the Giants captured the championship, today’s win giving McGraw’s team the necessary five victories over the Yankees. POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 13. —John J. McGravr’s fighting Giants joined the weather man in an effort to put the worid series on ice this afternoon. The setting for the eighth game was decidedly frigid. Drab skies towered overhead and a cold breeze chilled the spectators. The early crowd was the smallest of the series and there was a prospect that total attendance would be well under capacity of the park. The Yanks were the home team today and they were ready to make a valiant last stand. Defeat meant the ending of the series for them and as a result Huggins was expected to use his lone remaining pitching ace—Waite Hoyt. The Yanks were not exactly a cocky outfit when they began to drift into the clubhouse. First Ruth went ont with his various injuries, and today Mike McNally showed up with his arm in a sling and s_4d that a sprained shoulder would make it impossible for him to play. Miller Huggins, manager of the American Leaguers, said that Frank Baker, the old home run king, would hold down the hot corner and would bat in seventh position if Nehf worked for the Giants. The Giants were confidence all over. Manager McGraw. although expected to send Artie Nehf back into the fray, had the alternative of using Jess Barnes. Giants and Giant fans expected to see the series concluded by nightfall, despite the fact that the Yanks were desperate and sure to go in fighting like wildcats to square things with the National League champs. Should Hoyt’s attempt to gain further fame be rewarded with a victory today he will enter that select set of pitchers who have won three games and lost none in a world series. The “three and none” ‘club has just four memberr. They are the once great Mathewson, Babe Adams, Jack Coombs and Stanley Coveleskle. Yank fans, though their hopes centered in the sinewy arm of Hoyt, hoped against hope that the men-o'-Huggins would break ont in a batting rash today. Bill l’iercy pitched to the Yank batters in practice today. Waite Hoyt and Jack Quinn both batted. The sun came out brightly before 1 o’clock and flooded the stands with welcome warmth. The Giants, up to thetr ears in sweaters and Mackinaws, made their entry at 1 o’clock. They were given a mild reception by the crowd. After both teams had taken their batting and fielding practice it was announced officially that Nehf and Snyder wc uid be the battery for the Giants and Hoyt and Schang for the Yankees. The teams left the field and went to their digouts and the umpires came on the field. The hand went through the usual ceremony of playing the National Anthem and then withdrew. The captains of the two teams conferred with the umpires and the ground keepers platted down soil around the plate. The crowd was very disappointing. The sun was still shining and the weather was much more comfortable.

Delay Public Construction at Sunnyside Mismanagement Alleged in Erection of Buildings for cx-Soldiers. Mismanagement in the construction of public buildings is responsible for the delay of the completion of the two port- ’ able houses which have been under construction for weeks at Sunnyside and which were ordered erected by the Marion County commissioners to care for tubercular ex-service men of tbe World War. Investigation shows that the commisioners on Aug. 20 last, awarded a contract to J. Frank Cantwell, who erected many of the portables for the board of school commissioners for two portable buildings on a total bid of $4,932. The commissioners expected to have both buildings ready for occupancy within thirty to forty days. President Carlin Shank of the commissioners and a Times representative visited Sunnyside yesterday afternoon to see what was causing the delay. The following conditions were observed: The roof on only one building has been put on and work is just starting on the roof of the other building. Only the floor in one building has been placed. The carpenter employed by the commissioners to have charge of the work has not received plans as yet for the two portable bathroom connections for either house. Work has not been started on excavating for either the bathroom and lavatories nor tbe enclosed porches. Work has not been completed In placing the steam pipes running from the main buildings at Sunnyside to tho portable structures. The county commissioners have delayed awarding a contract for the plumbing, und up to late yesterday the specification* for the plumbing had not been received. It is evident that unless the plumbing contract is immediately advertised and awarded, more delay will be caused before the soldiers can be taken care of at Sunnyside. Only two carpenters were working on the building yesterday afternoon. It was announced that prisoners from the Marlon County Jail have been helping, but as yesterday was “visiting day” at the ! Jail, none of the prisoners was present.

Mr. Shank admitted that additional carpenters should be put to work and that advertisements should be made at once for the plumbing. He an nonncctl that extra carpenters will be put on the Job at once. According to Mr. Shank, Dr. H. S. Hatch, superintendent of Suuuyside, has suggested that the tubercular children oow at Sunnyside be placed In one of the portable buildings and that the rooms occupied by the children in the Instituttlon proper be gtven to the soldiers. "Dr. Hatch tells tbe commissioners that such a transfer would be beneficial because the children would feel more free and adult patients In the main bulldiug would not be disturbed by noise made by the children. The doctor assures \r that as many ex-service men will be taken care of In the main building as it they were occupying both of the portable houses,” Mr. .Shank said. The original Idea wag to use both buildings for ex service men. but the commissioners feel that Dr. Hatch is In position to know what is best to do in alloting space. It Is evident the two carpenters on the Job are doing all they personally ean to rush the work, but the failure of the county commissioners to put a larger force at work Is .he cause of the delay in addition to fulluie to advertise .or bids for the plumtiing. Mr. Shank explains the commissioners have attempted to reduce the costs as much a* possible. When the buildings are completed they will be practically permanent structures. Improvement Noted in Diphtheria Cases Slight improvement In the diphtheria situation was noted today by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city board of public health. He said cases were not developing In Hauifbvillo and East Tenth street, the newly affected districts, with the same rapidity as they broke out in sections of tbe sonth side, where the epidemic started. A total of 172 new cases have been repotred so far this month. Thirteen new cases were tabulated Wednesday. Tbe death rate ia not alarming. Dr. Morgan said, the total for this month being 7, but it behoove* parents, nevertheless, not to neglect any preenntion to prevent children from being Infected, he said. Evansville Boy, Dying, Absolves ‘Buddy’ Soeclsl to The Times. EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Oct. 13.—Frank Miller, 17, died today—but not until he had absolved Audie Carroll, 16, his "buddy,” of blame. Knowing he was dying from revolver wounds inflicted by Carroll, Miller asked that Carroll be released from jail and brought to the hospital. There the two shook hands. “It was an accident, Andie,” Frank said. “You weren't to blame.” No charges will be filed against Carroll, Former Bailiff, 83, Dies; Burial Friday William C.
