HARD HITTING LETS VISITORS RAG OPENER Mamaux Takes MarquarcTs Place in Seventh Cleveland Gets 2 Runs in Second, 1 in Fourth. GAME ISPLAYED FAST

(By Associated Press) BROOKLYN, N. Y., Oct. 5. The Cleve!ands, champions of the American League, toppled over the Brroklyns of the National League, by a score of 3 to 1, In the first game of . the world's series today. The National League champions ' were helpless before the mistifying slants of the big spitball pitcher, Covelskie. He was given sterling support by the Clevelands, especially Speaker, who ranged far and near, robbing the hapless Brooklyns of seeming hits. O'Neil starred at the bat with two doubles. The official attendance was 23.S94. Thousands of fans, the edge of whose enthusiasm was not one whit dulled by the White Sox baseball scandal, filled all stands in Ebbets Field. The Clevelands did not get to town until a few hours before the game, thereby upsetting all baseball precedents of not practicing, in a strange ball yard before a world's series. A superb day for baseball followed fast on a night of wretched promise. The weather cleared early and a warm sun and brisk breeze dried out the moisture in the playing field. Brooklyn took their batting practice first, Mohart. Mil jus and Pfeffer serving tip the ball for the home folks, j Marquard and Smith, two right-handers, and Grimes, Brooklyn's star spitballer, took part in the batting practice. Uhle went to the mound when the Cleveland Indians took their batting workout. Bagby and Coveleski took part in the practice. Fleets of photographers cruised everywhere about the field snapping the players and their playing poses. Their was the inevitable picture of the rival managers, Robinson and Speaker, shaking hands while the Johnston brothers, "Doc," of the Indians, and "Jimmy," of the Dodgers, had a little family picture of their own, the first probably since the traveling photographer got them together on a tintype in Tennessee years ago. How Speaker Felt. "I have always played on diamonds of the same dimensions," said Tri Speaker, " and for of this scries we are assuming the distance is ninetyfeet between all bases on Colonel Ebbet's field. We expect to win, and what more can I say." Colonel Ebbets, owner of the Brook lyns, tipped over another precedent by not having a brass band for thcdelectation of the early comers. The colonel said any available space in the park should be given to the fans. Accordingly, spectators, musically inclined, whistled popular airs and rans cow bells while others declared a world series without a brass band was another baseball scandal. A superb day for baseball followed fast on a night of wretched promise. The weather cleared early and a warm sun and brisk breeze dried out the moisture in the playing field, made sodden by the night's thunderstorm. Ground-keepers had the infield in shape by noon. The unreserved stands were not opened until after 12 o'clock and were j quickly filled by spectators wno siooa single file in long serpentine lines about the ball park. Those who could not get into the park flocked into a high clay bank known to Brooklynites as "Crow Hill' that partly overlooks the playing field, and watched the game from there. Scores perched themselves on roofs of houses or adjacent streets, while bricklayers working on buildings nearby struggled manfully to lay bricks by the touch system and watch the game.

Republican precinct committeemen throughout the county are arranging to have as many women residing in their precincts take part in the pageant as is possible. The Richmond Harding and Coolidge clubs, reinforced by Harding and Coolidge clubs from Hagerstown, Cambridge City and other towns, will form a large part of the parade, which will be headed by the American Legion band.

Oct. 5. The rate j of taxation for state purposes was cut ! from 22 to 20 cents by the Board of I Tax Commissioners today. The cut. in the tax rate was made when Auditor of State Klauss, informed the board that the state treasury now has in it more than $1,000,000, which was not expected when the original estimate of the needs of the state was made. This money, it was stated by Zoercher, a member of the state tax board, came in unexpectedly in payments from state institutions. The order cutting the rate states that ''a careful analysis of the figures submitted by the auditor disclosed the fact that the administration of state affairs proper was costing the tax payers nothing, in fact, was providing a surplus of fees and other revenues over and above expenses." The taxes go entirely to benevolent institutions, highways and schools, it was stated. Wayne Grand Jury Begins Work Wednesday The Wayne county grand jury for the October term will assemble Wednesday for the purpose of investigating various matters to be presented by Prosecutor Gath Freeman. Various county Institutions will also be investigated by the jury. Probably the most important case which will be called to the attention of the jury is the failure of the Farmers bark of Milton, Ind.

JAP SOLONS STUDY ANTI-LEGISLATION TOKIO, Octj 5 Arrangements have been made by the standing committee of the opposition party of the house of peers for. a general meeting to be held on October 11 to discuss the anti-Japanese movement in California. Among those who have taken part in making plans for the meeting is Marquis Tokugawa, a prominent member of the Japan Red Cross society. It has been decided to request the presence of Masano Hanihara, vice foreign min ister, to make a detailed report on negotiations with the United States relative to California. Professor Hayashi, counsellor of the foreign office, is quoted by the newspaper Houri Shinbun, in an interview relative to the situation. "The best way to settle anti-Japanese questions," he is quoted as saying, "is to appeal to the sincerity and to the fairness and good will of the American people. Japan should remember California is not all of America, where I believe sympathy I exists for the Japanese in connection with movements against members of our race. Above all, a half century of close diplomatic and economic relations must not be allowed to be stained with discord."

DAY NURSERY STARTS DRIVE; ASKS The Day Nursery starts its annual waste drive today, and is out to surpass all previous results. An additional incentive is furnished in the existing shortage of waste material that is of great importance in the country's industries. An actual crisis in newsprint paper is one of the manifestations of the absolute necessity for saving every scrap of rubbish traveling the accustomed route to the ash heap. The United States department of commerce is especially emphatic in urging welfare organizations to help solve the salvage problem by calling upon the residents of their respective cities to give their household rubbish. As the Day Nursery has been conducting waste drives in Richmond for the past few years, many women make a practice of saving their household rubbish for this purpose, and the officers feel that they are accomplishing a doubly effective mission in raising extra funds in this way. Efficient Methods Used. Like the former drives, well workedout efficiency methods will be used to insure a thorough and rapid collection. The first process will be the distribution of sanitary waste bags to all the city's homes. This will consume a few days' time, and then the collecting will be started. About three days is all the ',ime that can be counted upon in which to fill the bags, so people should start w?.ste hunting at once in order to make a thorough clean-uD. as every little bit counts up in the total, and it must be generally conceded that no better use could be made of our household trash than to have it cashed in for the bene fit of the Day Nursery.

The work of the campaign will be done by the Harrison Co-operative Service, who had charge of the previous drives. CROWD DISAPPOINTED WHEN COUNCIL FAILS TO TILT WITH MAYOR Council chamber was filled to capacity Monday evening by a crov d which evidently anticipated a tilt between Mayor W. W. Zimmerman and certain members of the council. The council session proved to be one of the shortest held this year, and was as decorous as a Sunday school convention. The mayor was rs polite in the few remarks he addressed to council as young boys are the day before Christmas, and the city dads were calm and good natured. This was the second time an advertised battle royal between the chief executive and the legislative body has failed to materialize, and the "fight I fans" are considerably disgruntled. They are threatening to boycott future council meetings. Heights Want In. Council was informed Monday that one of Richmond's little neighbors. Benton Heights .wants to be adopted ! DY tr.e city. E.

He admitted that several years ago Benton Heights people had opposed an ncxation to Richmond when council considered taking such action, but, he j added, that opposition no longer ex isted. He said that 44 families lived in Benton Heights, numbering about 220 people. . . . . School Board Approves.

REGISTER 80 PER CENT OF WAYNEVOTE Leaders of Both Parties Express Satisfaction of Showing on Final Registration Day. oonnn are nimicicn

"juuu Mill. 14UMLII ILU Eighty per cent, of the estimated voting strength of Wayne County has been registered properly for the election to be held next month, according to an estimate made Tuesday by W. H. Brooks, county auditor, based on reports received from practically every precinct registration place following the close of the final registration period, Monday evening. "It has been estimated that there are approximately 28,000 men and women of voting age in Wayne county. Without having made a careful investigation of the reports received on. the registration of voters Monday, I believe I am safe in saying that over 22,000 voters have qualified to take part in the forthcoming election. "I include tnose who registered September 4, those who registered Monday, Oct. 4, and those who registered by affidavits between the first and final registration periods," Mr. Brooks said. Study Figures Registration figures are being studied closely by Republican and Democratic organization leaders alike. The Republican leaders professed to be elated over the registration. They asserted that in many of the largest Republican precincts the registration approximated between 90 and 100 per cent of the total Republican vote. Republican county headquarters also advanced the claim that the registration in Abington township, which the Democrats have controlled for over a half century, would return a Republican majority this year. The G. O. P. leaders asserted that the entire Republican vote of the township was registered with the exception of one man and five women; that, on the other . hand, twenty-seven Democratic voters in the township were not, registered. "Between 85 and 90 per cent of the Republican voters in Wayne county have been registered." was the announcement made at Republican headquarters. Are Satisfied Democratic leaders stated that they were well satisfied with the result of the registration. They predicted a considerably increased Democratic vote this year and expressed particular pleasure over the large registration of women, as they believe the majority of women voters will support the Democratic ticket. It is stated that almost the entira voting strength of Jackson township in which Cambridge City, Dublin ana Pershing are located, has been regis tered. The fourth precinct of that township containing 575 voters had a total registration of 549. of that number 296 being men and 253 being women. Only 25 women failed to register. There were two more women than men registered in the third precinct of Jackson township. The registration in that precinct was 234 women and 232 men. More Women Than Men. In several of the Richmond precincts the registration of women out numbered that of the men. In the nineteenth precinct, fourth ward, the registration was 242 women, 206 men, fourteenth precinct, third ward. 234 women. 215 men; sixteenth precinct, fifth ward, one of the largest voting units in the county, 317 women and 315 men; twenty-third precinct, fifth ward, 310 women, 272 men; twentyeighth precinct, sixth ward, 225 women. 220 men. There was a large registration in the thirty-second precinct, seventh ward, where 322 men and 307 women were registered. The heaviest registration Monday was in Richmond. On the first registration ciay last month, there was a , big registration in the county outsiJa in the city. W. H.
