Fair Weather By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The sun quickly banished a few clouds in the eastern horizon this morning and a clear day was in prospect for the fourth game of the world series between the New York Giants and the Washington Senators at the Polo Grounds. The official weather forecast was "fair and cooler,” but the slight chill woje off as the morning advanced.

INDUSTRIAL SHOW OPENS DOORS 10 CITY WOMANHOOD Milady Has Enjoyable and Profitable Day—Henry Ford Invited. Although the road to the Indianapolis Industrial Exposition at the State fairground was a muddy one today, Woman’s day, the crowds came early anc enthusiastically. Indications were that Monday’s attendance, estimated at between 30.000 and 35,000, would be exceeded. Even before the rain stopped, children from schools 19 through 2S and Technical High School thronged the building. They were dismissed from school, and admitted free. About sixty boys from the military training corps and the traffic department at Technical took charge of traffic. They tried to keep the children moving through the building in one line, and succeeded, to some extent. But when the line neared a place where food was being distributed, all order was forgotten. Wednesday, "Diplomatic and Foreign Day,” will be featured by a luncheon given at the Chamber of Commerce at 12:15 p. m. for diplomats and representatives of foreign governments, by the foreign trade department of the Chamber of Commerce. headed by Carl S. Wagner. Four Diplomats Accept —Diplomats who have accepted the invitation thus far are J. Garnett Lomax, M. C., vice consul of Great Britain, stationed at Chicago; Twao Xishi.

C., minister plenipotentiary o fthe Irish Free State After luncheon, they will be escorted to the exposition. It was announced reservations for the luncheon could be made by the public until 12 noon Wednesday. A reply was expected today to an invitation to the exj>osition sent to Henry Ford by Henry L.

We extend a very cordial invitation to you and your official staff to attend this gigantic exposition, which is being held in the largest building of its kind on one floor in the United States. Four acres of industrial exhibits under one roof.

FOSTER PARENTS DESERTBOY, 11 Lad Found Sitting on Track in Maywood. An 11-year-old boy, whose parents were replaced one by one until he found himself an unwelcome guest at a strange fire-side, was in care of juvenile court authorities today. The boy was found in Maywood, sitting on the railroad track, disconsolately seeking his “parents.” He was clothed in tatters, shoes mended with baling wire and pants sewed with twine, and so dirty he had to be given a bath before his rescuers could tell what race or color he belonged to. “My father and mother moved away from our house on Harding St. and told me to wait until they came back after me,” was all he knew. “I waited a long, long time.” His mother died. His father married again. His father was killed in a railroad wreck and the orphan continued to 'live with his step-mother. The latter remarried. The foster father frowned on his “child” and the latter was left in the empty house. After a couple of weeks of waiting in vain for his “family,” the lad set out to hunt them.

N.Y. GIANTS HOLD EDGE IN SERIES Young Barnes and Mogridge Are Likely Selections for the Mound Duty in Fourth Game of Series at New York, By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—ln des perate need of another game to get back into the running for the championship, the Washington Senators are prepared today for a last stand battle with the New York Giants in the fourth game of the world series. Dropped twice in three games and with much of their punch gone, the Senators were in a serious fix. The Giants have the natural advantage of a two-to-1 count In a short series and with Roger Pecklnpaugh, Senator shortstop, injured, the betting switched today to 2 to 1 on the Giants.

Peck Out Peck, the moat dangerous h'tter o t the team and the mainstay of tn defense, pulled a muscle in his leg in running out a double that woo the game, and he had to quit Mon day. There was doubt in the Washington quarters today that Peck wou'rt be able to play Wednesday. Weather conditions were agai” ideal and a crowd equaling Monday's record number of 47,600 was e* peeted at the Polo Grounds. Washington can’t use Walter Johnson today, because If he should be unable to stop the National League championship, the Senators would he as good as gone. With an advantage of one game, the Giants can take a chance with Virgil Barnes, a young right-hander, who has plenty of good pitching in him when he is right. Mogridge Next Harris probably will ask George Mogridge, a veteran left-hander, to work today, with hope that he can even the series. He could then send Johnson back Wednesday. If Barnes gets away with his game today, the chances of another trip to Washington Wednesday night would be rather remote. MOraw would have Nehf left to headline hi* team in Wednesday's game. It was generally agreed that the two games in Washington were two of the finest of any series, but it was accepted unanimously that the third game here was one of thf worst. Certainly no worse pitching has ever been seen in a series. The game had only one record to make it stand out. Rosy Ryan hit a homer and became the first National League pitcher to get a four-base hit In a world series. Buck Harris pulled the break against "Firpo” Marberry in the second inning that may have been the deciding factor in the game. Tie dropped a throw from Bluege in his eagerness to make a double play and Marberry blew up. Frisch Is Great There were other breaks against the Senators and they were mostly Frankie Frisch, Giant captain and second baseman, who dashed way back into center field for two catches off Goose Goslin that robbed the Washington slugger of two sure hits and he pulled another stop and throw that took another one from the Goose. With Peck on the job through the entire game Washington might have won. Miller, who took his place in the batting order, was up twice in the tightest pinches and failed to deliver. The defensive strength of the infield is also greatly reduced with Peck out of the game. BET HE GETS A BONE Pet Dog Frightens Away Woman’s Assailant.

With the dedication today of the Riley Memorial Hospital for Children the memory of the great poet of children was perpetuated forever in a substantial form which will bring health and happiness to thousands of unfortunate children through years to come.

This formal dedication ceremony of the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital for Children marks a dramatic moment in the history of the commonwealth. It Is an added proof of the fact that even in this period of hectic redjustmont the citizenry of the State has hqld fast to the age-old challenge, the supreme interest of childhood. Periods Contrasted “What we do for children at a particular stage of civilization is but a reflection of our conception of the values of our particular social organization.” He contrasted the ancient Spartan custom of putting weakling children to death, and the rigid restriction of Puritanic households of early America, with the present tendency to do everything possible for children. “Society no Ipnger is willing to provide the weakling with mere custodial care; it can no longer shift responsibility of these weaklings upon Providence. “This ceremony is not a culmination, it is but the beginning of the acceptance of anew obligation to childhood of the State. In the name of a sister commonwealth I congratulate you with a note of assurance that this ceremony marks a new day for childhood in the Hoosier land.” Dr. John H.
