POISON LIQUOR KILLS FIVE

TEAMS START THIRD FRAY ALL SQUARE Ruth vs, McGraw Now on In —Yankees Pep Up Behind Comeback of Home Run Establishes Record, By HENRY L. FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Starting all over from scratch, where it is “anybody’s series,” the Nqw York Yankees and the Giants will resume the battle for world’s series honors in the Yankee Stadium this afternoon. Thursday’s great comeback, in which the mighty Babe Ruth returned in full glory to his kingdom and beat the Giants, 4 to 2, put the series back to one-all and crouched both teams on the line for anew start.

New York awoke this morning straining eyes to penetrate a heavy fog. High up In the sky the sun was battling gamely to get through and the weather man predicted Old Sol would win In about the tenth round. , > Indian summer temperature again prevailed, but the thermometer was high enough to threaten a little of the rain that has been trying to horn In on the series for two days. Ruth and Pennock There was nothing to yesterday’s game but Babe Ruth and Herb Pennock, the two star southpaws of the Yankees. The thrilling features and sensations of the opening game were missing because the Giants were most completely subdued and their chances were killed as soon as they were bom. The Giants could not stop Ruth, and Pennock wouldn’t let the National League champions get started and the vindication of the condemned Yanks was at least momentarily complete. Two home runs by Ruth, which provided the winning margin and which Inspired the whole Yankee team Into a perfect transformation, enabled the Yanks to win their first game In ten world series starts against the Giants and put them back where they are again, the sentimental and mathematical favorites. Babe Fields Spectacularly Lost In the limtllght of hia great hitting was a most spectacqlar bit of fielding by the great Babe which had Just as big a part in taking the heart out of the Giants and winning the game. In the third inning Groh walked with two down and went to third on a single by Frisch. The score was tied and Pennock might have blown under one of the rallies for which the Giants are famed. Young connected and drove a torrid liner over first base that was tagged a double as It started. The great Babe came In with all his ponderous speed and pulled the liner up from his knees. The players maintain this sparkling bit of fielding saved them. It Is a little bit of tradition that the Giants never do much their first time to a good plthcer. They were ready to be beaten when Pennock took the mound and they kept their backs practically bared for the blow all the way. Tender such conditions, the Giants have a consolation logic—“we are learning him now and we’ll murder him the next time.” “Makes Him Pitch” Pennock’s fine curve ball and his perfect control overwhelmed the National League champions. From the first to the last out they waited him out. McGraw sat In the dug-out ordering his men to “make him pitch to you." Only once was Pennock In danger and then he was saved by the quick Working, alert Infield which turned In a double play and retired the side end killed the rally. In the sixth inning, Groh, Frisch and Young singled In succession with none down and Groh scored. Miusvl then forced Young at second and when the outlook was the brightest Cunningham rapped to Scott and the play went Scott to Ward to Pipp for a fast double. The Yankees are now back In the position of the favorites. Ruth is hitting and it Is doubtful U the Giants can stop him. McGraw has proved theories to stop the Babe, but he can’t do It without a pitcher to carry out his orders. Both Grooved Ball Twice yesterday he insisted McQuillan and Bentley keei the ball around the Babe’s knees, but they both lost control and sailed right through the Babe’s groove—a high, fast balL Twice the Bam murdered them and the third time he missed anothe - homer by a matter of a few points in deflection. McGraw is up against It for pitchers now. Nehf is a little bit off and Scott had a doctor working on a sore arm yesterday. Nehf was ready to work In the opener, but he said he was not in shape yesterday, and It was reported he was off today. The Giants have used Watson, Ryan, McQuillan and Bentley. Nehf, Scott, Barnes and Jonnard remain and not one of them is safe as a starter. Watson pitched only a few Innings of the first game and McQuillan had only a brief stay yesterday and they can be called back without the customary rest. Jones Looks Likely. Miller Huggins probably will start Sam Jones today or he might give Waite Hoyt another shot. Hoyt wasn't used up In the first game and he is such a strong youth he doesn’t seed much rest. While the Giants at the present

have the role of the under-canines, there Is this to be remembered—no team In baseball can fight with the desperation and spirit of the Giants when their plight is critical. Ruth’s batting not only will Inspire the whole team, but It will renew Interest in the series and it is a safe bet the huge Yankee Stadium will turn them away today. CITYWiNSTWO .

UTILITIES BEWARE OR CONTROL LAW GOESJSTHREAT Municipal League Considers Resolution for Dry Law Conference, If public utilities continue to resort to Federal Court in rate . cases Instead of first availing themselves of State law provisions Indiana citizens will "at the next session of the Legislature demand a repeal of the public service commission law and ask for return of direct control to municipalities.” This is the grist of a resolution before the Municipal League of Indiana today. Another resolution provides for palling a conference of mayors of Indiana and surrounding States upon proliibition enforcement at Chicago soon. The utility resolution states: “The public utilities have at all times an available supply of able lawyers, expert engineers, accountant*, rate and service experts and a number of other witnesses. Cities Without Aid “The municipalities of the State are without expert engineers, accountants ar.d other expert utility witness service. “It Is our opinion that since the public utilities of our State are always prepared to take care of themselves and the municipalities are not, therefore the expert engineers, accountants, rate and service experts paid out of the aforesaid appropriation of one hundred thousand (SIOO,000) dollars should devote their energies In finding and disclosing facts favorable to municipalities as well as to the utlltles. "It Is further our opinion that If the public utilities of Indiana continue to resort to the Federal Court in rate cams, tnste* and of first Availing themselves of the provisions of our State laws; and If they do not honestly endeavor to furnish service at Just and reasonable rates, that the people of Indiana, will, at the next session of the Legislature demand a repeal of public regulation of utilities and a return to the municipalities of th*Jr control."

DEED FILING QUESTIONED

Attorneys In Realty Firm Affair inquire Into Transfers to Goodrich and Wright,

Attorneys representing clients who face possible loss through the financial crash of the Realty Finance and Building Company, placed In receivership last week, today were Investigating a transfer of the company’s assets to James P. Goodrich, president of the National City Bank, and L. H. Wright of the Aetna Trust and Savings Company, as trustees. Twenty eight bleeds for properties owned by the defunct company, dated prior to the receivership hearing, have been filed, conveying the properties to Wright and Goodrich. Borne of them bore the explanation that the trust jjeeds were made to “secure the payment of promissory notes to James P. Goodrich.” The total loans made by Goodrich, as shown, were $49,800. In the meantime police were searching for Lyle T. Laub, ex-presldent of the company and former prison Inmate, who disappeared Just before his partner, Fritz G. Heinrich, secretary and treasurer, was arrested on embezzlement charges. Not Bona Fide, Says Attorney One of the deeds transferred the title of property which Robert J. and Florence Miles had contracted to buy said J. Stephen Fullen, their attorney. The Miles gave the company their deed to some property to get anew home built on other lota, and the company succeeded In keeping both titles, Fullen said. “I maintain that this transfer of assets to Goodrich and Wright as trustees Is not a bona fide affair,” said Fullen. "The company still retains title to my clients property, I claim.” Gideon W.

Ilam Miller, who rwore out the affidavit on which Heinrich vai arrested, stated that trust deeds are made for purposes of temporarily holding property with a view of deeding It back. Fullen Doubts Loan “Judging from experience and the facts set out In the trust deeds, these trustees will hold the properties ‘until the $49,000 is paid Goodrich, when they will be redeeded by the company. It gives Goodrich a first lien on any assets,” Blaln said. Goodrich said that prior to the receivership, and when the company was apparently solvent, he loaned the company the money with the properties aa security. Records of the State securities commission show that the concern’s license to operate was revoked, and then reinstated on Laub’s plea. Records of the Circuit Court show Goodrich Is on the bond of the receiver for the realtor company. Some of the properties turned over In the trust deeds are situated as follow's: At 617-9 Wallace St.j 6148-50 E. Washington St.; 6134-36 E. Washington St.; 67 N. Trfemont Ave.; 27 N.

Engle St. Bankruptcy Talked Federal Intervention through involuntary bankruptcy proceedings may be asked by customers of the Realty Company, Fullen said. “What we need Is concerted action to decide what shall be done to conserve the assets " 6ald the attorney. “A conference of attorneys of all Interested and the bonding companies who were sureties for a few of them Is being arranged. At that time It may bo decided to ask bankruptcy proceedings.” The proposition has been advanced that an Intervening petition in the receivership suit be filed in Circuit Court protesting the Goodrich claim, and demanding proof, It was said. “On Oct. 4 I went to see him, and he said It was In the receiver’s hands. Then yesterday It was recorded as transferred to the trustee Sept. 14.” Fullen and a representative of the bonding company that was surety for Miles have arranged to visit Wright and demand the nature of the trust, and why instituted. "Wright told me today that the loans were made, and the property put up as collateral, but he refused to say when, or for whom he Is acting as trustee, or why, except that he and Goodrich 'are interested/ ” said Fullen. i> { ; .

COURT WILL NOT FORCEPERSONS IN Wilmeth Plans No Interference With 'Sticker* Plan, The traffic department can return to the practice of ordering motorists to report to police headquarters on stickers, but It need not expect city court to punish any one for failure to report.

If rpotorist* cannot give plausible exouses in these interviews, affidavits will be filed, Glenn said. The return to the old system follows dropping of cases against 348 violators In city court by Judge Wilmeth because of an opinion by City Attorney James M.
