isional belief that Herb would be able to take part in the series—probably by Friday, if Miller Huggins required him, “We’ll see how things break at the start,’’ said the diminutive Yankee manager, when questioned about the possibility of his calling upon the stricken southpaw for pitching duty. It’s Huggins’ idea to wait as long as seems sensible before assigning Pennock to face the Pirates. Now Donie Bush's problem, this cool October morn, was complicated by no such indecision about a pitcher. Full of Ginger “Hie boys are full of fight and ginger,” said the Corsair chief. “If they just play the kind of ball of which they are capable, I’ll be satisfied.” Donie, in his first season as a National League pilot, has had a hard fight on his hands to bring his often unwilling ball club to the top. But now that he has landed it there, he has been blessed beyond the fond dreams of baseball managers by having his regulars and his pitchers alike in fighting trim. Only Joe Harris, the scarred veteran of the world war, is affected by ill health, and old Joe, established as the regular Pirate first baseman, is the type of ball player who knows how to overcome just such difficulties. Lively for Cripple One never would guess, in watching the grizzled veteran skip about the bag, digging into the grime for low-flung balls and flinging himself aloft to drag down occasional wild throws, with all the ginger of a youngster in his first big game, that Joe Harris is the lone cripple of the Pittsburgh club. ♦ The most serious of the Pirates, as the ball club gathered for final instructions on the eve of the opening game, was Clyde Barnhart. “I know the load I’m carrying,” said the solemn-visaged man who has been assigned the task of filling “Kiki” Cuyler’s place in the’’Pittsburgh outfield. “One slip and I suppose the fans will ride me right out of the park.” Barnhart turned to Donie Bush, his firm-jawed manager, who is responsible for the present extraordinary situation which has relegated a star player to the bench during a championship series. Barnhart to Give All “You can count on me, chief,” he said. This seems to be the sort of spirit ■with which Donie has brought his Pirates into the battle for the championship. Opposed to the heavy-hitting reputations enjoyed by Babe Ruth and his comrades of the New York Yankees, it seems to be something well worth banking on in the world series of 1927.

FARM FIREMEN JOIN TO SLASH ANNUALLOSSES Federation Aids Townships in-Organizing to Combat Costly Blazes. The day when a farmer must stand helplessly by and see his barn or home go up in smoke soon may pass, according to G. S. Masterson, head of the division of fire prevention and control of the Indiana Fire Bureau Federation. Rural fire companies, composed of farmers in groups close enough to respond in sufficient numbers and established in seventy Indiana communities, under direction of the bureau,.. Masterson said. He called attention to the companies in connection with fire prevention week Oct. 9 to 16. \ Annual Loss Is Huge “The farmer is at the mercy of fire unless he has protection thai these rural troops give,” said Mr. Masterson. “Approximately $1,000,000 worth of property is destroyed annually by fires on Indiana farms. This appalling loss could be reduced greatly if every rural community in the State had an organized fire troop.” The rural fire prevention division of the Indiana Farm Bureau was organized a little less than a year ago, after long study of of combating farm fires. The plan of organizing fire troops was the outcome of this study and before it was put out in a general way the plan was tried successfully in several communities. Since establishment of the division, seventy communities have been organized, with rural fire troops in Boone, Hancock, Hendricks, Grant, Montgomery, Vermillion, Warren, Tippecanoe, Banton, Newton, Marion, Jay, Blackford, Huntington, Gibson, Vanderburgh, Spencer, Lawrence, Shelby, Carroll, Miami, Elkhart, Fayette and Franklin counties. Troops in Every Township “We plan to establish from three to five troops in each township, eventually,” Mr. Masterson said. “Experience has taught us that the township is too large an area for one troop successfully to protect. “A group of ten or fifteen persons living close enough together to be neighbors has proved the most satisfactory unit sos fire prevention and control. Each troop elects a captain and lieutenant, who are in command at a fire. “Each member of the troop is expected to equip himself with an approved fire extinguisher, and in addition it is recommended that each troop equip itself with two force pumps that throw water from attached containers. “The Farm Bureau is supplying both extinguishers and force pumps to the members of the rural troops.”

GILLIOM AIMS NEW BLAST AT KLANAND DRYS Both Parties Eavde Issues, Attorney General Says at Portland. By Times Special PORTLAND, Ind.. Oct. s.—Declaring that “there is a disgusting disposition to deal in evasive generalities in both political parties,” Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom launched a tirade against the KuKlux Klan, Anti-Saloon League and other “super-governmental” organizations in an address here Tuesday night before the Kiwanis Club. He referred to “dictatorships of the Mussolini of the Anti-Saloon League and the wizard of Klandom.” He challenged both Republican and Democratic leaders to declare a truce on pussyfooting and take a stand for their party against domination by partyless minority groups. Only Seek New Deals “I fear that a large part of the intra-party and inter-party pointing at each other by those professing to be opposed to super-government and secret government minority groups is only for the purpose of bringing about new deals in the same duplicitous political game that has been played in the pastifew years in Indiana,” the Attorney General challenged. “I am afraid that there is no real intention to play anew game in the full light of day on the part of many who are doing much of this pointing. “There is a disgusting disposition to deal in evasive generalities in both political parties. The only | boldness perceivable on the part of most of those who venture to speak audibly is in their denunciation of | one made harmless behind prison i bars. Up to People “Unless the people make it man!- i fest that they demand a return to 1 genuine representative government J by free-minded, unslaved represent- j atives in office, the next election again will be waged by both party organizations and party tickets working both sides of the alleys, and we again will have government under the dictatorships of the Mussolini of the Anti-Saloon League and the Wizard of Klandom to the continued disgrace of our State.” Tire Pope of Rome goes to confes- j sion every Friday. His confessor is j Father Allsardi, a Jesuit.
