Flutbush Fans Hopeful
With Defeat of Bagby
Brooklyn's victory of yesterday
brought new confidence to the
Flatbush fans in the Dodgers' abil?
ity to win the scries. Bagby, who
was beaten, is the best of the pitch?
ers on Speaker's staff and tho rec?
ord holder for games won during
the American League season.
It was predicted that this would
be a pitchers' series, and in this
department Wilbert Robinson, of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, has all the
advantage.. He has so many good
pitchers in condition that it is
difficult to make the choice from
day to day, while the Cleveland
Indians have only two of whom
they are sure.

Dodgers Play Like Cham?
pions; Victory in 2d Game
C* i vesThem Edge,Says Rice
By Grantland Rice
At the moment of going: to press a
group of infuriated Cleveland ball
players are looking for the sap-headed
bard who dashed off this ancient lyric
?with all the atmosphere of truth:
"Old Grimes is dead, that good old
man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
He used to wear a long black coat
All buttoned up before.
"lie once bad something on the ball,
Hut now his withered wing
Lies underneath tho coffin lid,
Beyond its final fling.''
So"old Grimes is dead, is he? Yes,
about as dead as Babe Ruth, Man o'
War, Jack Dempsey and the home
brew kick.
In the presence of 24,000 astonished
rooters the Old Corpse tossed off his
winding sheet yesterday and turned
back the powerful Cleveland attack
into a shut-out rout. Either some
poet has been lying for a number of
year:; or the world's greatest miracle
has developed. In cither case, some
one should page Sir Oliver Lodge and
verify the matter at once,
Knough to Startle 'Em
Believing that Old (?rimes was not
only (icaH but buried, no wonder the
Cleveland Indians were -startled when
he began to break a series of fast
balls and baffling curves over the in?
side and outside corner of the plate.
Who wouldn't be? If you were bat?
ting and a bloke thought to bo dead
for thirty-seven years suddenly began
hanging fast ones around your neck
wouldn't you be startled, too?
With () d Grimes safely back on this
side of the Styx the aroused Dodgers
played- like champions, drove Jim Bag
' ., off the reservation and moved up on
even l< rms with the Indians, who never
had a chance.
Jn only one inning could Cleveland
bunch as many as two safe hits. In
the seventh Gardner and O'Neil singled,
but when Speaker rushed Graney up
as a pitn-h hitter Old Grimes struck
him out. In the eighth (?rimes doled
out three passes, but even with these
.avish gifts to work on the Cleveland
attack was so powerless before li is
fancy pitching that not a run resulted.
When a ball club can gather three
passes in one round and then can't
orive a run across you may get some
?dea of how badly its attack -aas broken.
On the other side of the argument,
Brooklyn found Jim Bagby a much
softer proposition than Stanley Coveies
kie had been the day before. Bagby
?as good enough to win thirty-one ball
games through the year, the only
pitcher in either league who reached
the thirty mark. But lie still looked to
be a bit weary after the heavy burden
he had carried all year, and only a pair
of lucky turns saved him from bigger
rout.
Through the first three innings the
Brooklyn attack h'?t him with savage
earnestness, but line drives were mis?
placed or double plays yanked him out
of greater trouble just as he seemed
to be sinking for tho third and last
time.
Grimes's Support Faultless
Bagby drew the same brilliant sup?
port from Tris Speaker that Coveleskic
did, but even the Texan's spectacular
catches were no* enough to save nis
hide. Speaker, in addition to killing
off a brace of doubles, interpolated a
single and a double of his own, proba?
bly enraged at the duplicity involved in
tho rumor of Old Grimes's demise. But
it wasn't enough. For in addition to
Grimes's fine pitching his support, led
by Tommy Griffith, Zach Wheat and
Pete Kilduff, built up a wall that was

City of Death
And Darkness
Red Cross Reports People
Are Without Food, Fuel
or Lights; Suffering
Almost Beyond Belief
Disease Stalks in
Homes and Streets
i _
Hospitals Without Heat
or Medicine; Epidemics
Kill Thousand a Month
PARIS, Oct. G (By The Associated
Press).?A graphic description by an
eyewitness of the fearful conditions ex?
isting in Petrograd is given by the Fin?
nish Red Cross in an appeal just issued
to the Red Cross societies of the world.
It is accompanied by documents pre?
pared by 'Professor Zeidler, formerly
head of the Petrograd Red Cross, but
now a refugee in Finland.
The documents which reached the
Paris bureau of the American Red
Cross to-day tell the story of the agony
i of a dying city. Petrograd's present
I population, based on the food cards,
j is now 500,000 to 000,000, and the cap
i ital of the czars is described as having
; shrunk to one-fourth its pre-war size.
I The report says:
"Death stalks on every side waiting
j for winter to aid in the grim work of
.mowing down the silent, hungry, sick
I and dying thousands. With streets and
; houses choked with filth that is al
! ready spreading spotted and intermit
; tent typhus, the cold weather will finish
I the task with pneumonia and abdofni
j nal typhus.
Houses Wrecked for Fuel
I "The fuel situation was never so bad.
; Wooden houses have been torn down
! for fuel, The material is distrib
\ uted equally among the population,
but during the nights the more ener?
getic citizen- steal the quota of wood
! from the others.
"The woodyards have been national
| ized. One of them has been given up
entirely to the manufacturers of 30,000
coffins monthly. But even this number
' is insufficient. People have not time
I to bury the dead, and the bodies take
I their turn, waiting several days.
"Only one important tramway line is
in operation, and that runs to a sub?
urb. Attempts to repair the streets,
which are full of holes owing to burst
| ing water pipes, have failed because the
t wood blocks for pav?iaent have been
' .stolen for fuel. Lighting is allowed
enly two half hours each day. Kero?
sene, costs <ir>0 ruble-, a pound. There
; are no candles. Most homes are in dark?
ness. There is no means of transport
: ing things by waterway, because the
?barges were long since demolished for
I fuel. The railway transportation is
devoted almost exclusively to the dis?
tribution of flour.
"Only 200 people are permitted to
ieave Petrograd daily by passenger
train. Workmen receive half a jsound
of bread daily, and sometimes othei
food is given. The prices of foodstuffs
continue to rise to incredible heights
Many products have almost completely
disappeared from the markets.
Faces Disfigured by Kamine
"The mortality has reached a start
ling rate owing to the lack of food and
insanitary conditions of houses an<
, streets. Fat has left the majority oi
. the population long ag ?. At present the
; muscular tissue is consumed. The faces
. (.f people have taken on a waxlike ci lor
?i, order to fill their stomachs with
something they drink different substi
: tutes ? r tea and coffee, or great quan?
tities of plain water, resulting in puiii
? ness. and dropsy, which change the ex
pression of the face so that old ac
? quaintances are unrecognizable.
"The decay of prop rty is aided no
; only by the colossal prices of material
and wages- the slighte t repair worl
cofcti not under 100,000 rubles- bu
?ilso to the ?'act that house porters an
', ;.I.(dished, partly as a bourgeois sys
tern and partly because the porter;
' are needed for wood cutting. At pros
; out houses are looked after by beggar:
and committees composed of indigen
! Communists.
; "Indescribable dirt and filth is on ever;
; side within the houses. When plumb
? ing gets out of order it remains un
' repaired. Whole 'nouses become tilth;
I from top to bottom and it becomes im
! possible to I've in them. These house
i arc then barred and tenants move int.
; other houses, which are neglected V
i the same manner.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6. After killin,
a patrolman and a citizen, a crowd o
.Mexican laborers, armed with pistol;
barricaded themselves in a boardin
house at Homestead, a suburb, to
night, and are engaging a posse o
police and firemen in an exchange o
: shots.
The Mexicans, according to the pc
I lice, were acting disorderly on th
Street when two patrolmen tried t
arrest them. One of the Mexican
drew a pistol and killed Patrolma
William Smith and wounded Patrol
man Henry Davis.
The crowd then retreated to a Me:;
ican boarding house where they si,o
ano killed the proprietor and barri
eaded themselves.
The police found it impossible t
break into the house, because of th
constant lire of the Mexicans.
Firemen, shortly after 10 o'clocl
were laying several lines of hose wit
the intention of directing the stream
into the boarding house windows.
The battle had been in progress fo
about an hour when the police reporte
that they had killed one of the Mex

General Weygand as assist?

the Russian Soviet forces were
endeavoring; to encircle Warsaw
and had all but accomplished
their purpose. It is to General

Special ?tii.ipatch to The Tribune
ATLANTA, Ca.. Oct. 6.?Like tho Ku
Klux of old, night riders are now raid- !
ing Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina
and Texas in an effort to end all opera?
tions in cotton until the price has
traveled buck to the old'40-cent level.
In the effort to do this, ginners gener?
ally and a number of mercantile es?
tablishments have been ordered to close
until the staple goes up in price, and
in several cases the torch has been ap?
plied, large losses ?esulting.
The campaign grows out of the
great drop in prices on the market,
which farmers here believe due to
manipul?t ing in Wall Street, and not
to any economic reasons. It has been
given impetus and bitterness h:;s been
added to the situation by the an?
nouncement of Secretary Houston that :
the government would not lend aid to |
the farmers to bold their cotton. This '
has resulted in a number of enthusi?
astic meetings held in the South and
tho c:i!l for a big gathering in Wa? h
ington to take the. matter up with Sec?
retary Houston.
Threatening notices have been posted
in a number of Georgia towns on gin?
neries, ordering them to close. In
some cases the notices were polite in
tone, but there is no doubt in the ;
minds of the owners as to the conse?
quences if they refuse to ol
It may safely be said that the fair,'.-,
ers are prepared to go ..> almost any I
length to prevent any operations in
cotton at the present prie-. lin y con?
tend that the cost of production is at
least 30 cents, and to sell at present
prices means bankruptcy for i v. rybocly,
business men as well as farmers.
Notices demanding the closing of
ginneries until cotton prices are
stabilized wen- found fastened on the
scales of the Bowman, Ga., gin, on an
other four miles south of there andj
on the ginnery at Dewey Rose, Ga? and
they have caused considerable comment
here. ? j
The notices read: "We, the citizens
of everywhere, kindly ask that this
ginnery bo closed until November,
1920, unless further notified. Please
The writer of the warning, judging
from the writing, punctuation and gen- ?
eral appearance of: the notice, appeared
to be a person of a fair education. !
Near panic reigns in parts of Ala- |
bama as the result of night riding
operations there, which have resulted
in the d< struction by tire of the gen?
eral mercantile establishment of Tay?
lor & Barnett, of Hanceville, and
threats that others will share its fate.
Considerable cotton was lost in ;!.;
fire, it is stated, and it is feared other
fires will result in even heavier cotton
ila m age.
Stores at Garden City were p aced
under guard, as were the gin hous s
near the two towns. Operators of gins :
in Cullman were ordered to cease oper?
ations and they have oTjeyed. Thus
far Cullman merchants have not been
warned to close their doors.
The Hanceville business house de?
stroyed had been under guard until the
night before, when the proprietors
withdrew the guards. Loss will run
into the thousands of dolla
At Anderson, S, C, the sheriff lias
been appealed to as a result of addi?
tional warnings to cease operations
while cotton remains at its present
price.
The latest warnings in tht3 county
give ginners tirit.il October 7 to cease
operations, and it is said these have
been received by-, more than half the
large ginneries in the county, includ?
ing those in this city, in one gin the
magneto was removed from a gasoline
engine and a note ?eft saying: "Good
care will be taken of it." The owner
repaired his machinery and resumed
operations.

indiana Voters Urged to
Elect Watson; Speaks
in Des Moines To-day
From a Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Oct. 6?fOn board Sen?
ator Harding's train). Greeted by
large and cheering crowds at every
stop, Setlator Warren G. Harding
paused the first day of what will be his
longest campaign trip preaching the
gospel of America First in rear plat?
form speeches as he crossed Ohio and
Indiana and entered Illinois.
Senator Harding, upon his arrival in
Chicago to-night, was driven to the
Congress Hotel and had dinner there;
also conferences with Will II. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, am! other political leaders.
He then retired for several hours' rest
before departing for Des Moines.
The Republican candidate is sched?
uled to speak to-morrow forenoon at
Des Moines and in the evening at
Omaha. The following day he will de?
liver prepared addresses in St. Joseph
;?nd Kansas City, Mo. On Saturday he
will speak in Oklahoma City. He'will
be back in Marion by Monday noon.
The day after that he is-scheduled to
invade the South, going to Chat?
tanooga, Tenn.
Leaving Marion this morning, Sen?
ator Harding was convinced that he
was departing on the most difficult
trip of his campaign, .Mrs. Harding,
former Senator Sutherland, of Utah, j
and Harry Daughterly are traveling
with him. His party also includes, in ;
addition to newspaper corresponde::;-.
Dr. and Mrs. C. h. Sawyer, of Marion.
Tin re are three cars attached to regu-|
lar trains for most of the tour-. The
candidate is traveling in the private
car Superb, which replaces the Ideal,
wrecked at Millwood on the last trip.
Talks to Workers in Overalls
The presence of many workmen in
overalls in a crowd of .r>'J0 that pressed :
aboul the rear platform of Senator
Harding's car in Lima, Ohio, when the
train stopped there at noon, suggested
the candidate's theme. He'said to them:
"Political parties -.lean to serve us
all to the best advantage. It is only
a question of difference as to the policy
which will best serve our common good.
Let me say to you men that 1 want to
bring to you the readjustment after I
the World War which will maintain
for the millions of American wage j
earners the high standard of pay which I
is theirs now. I caution you men that
that can never happen under the policy
of a party which believes in opening
the doors of America to foreign-made!
products."
The workmen applauded.
"And if 1 am elected President, as I
expect to be," continued the candidate,
pausing with upraised arm for the ap?
plause to ce,im-, "1 am going to .-.land
for the policy that furnishes American
markets first for American products.
"I know what is in your hearts. You
r ?oi e m the new standard of com?
pensation, and I rejoice with you, hut
you arc grieved about the high cost of :
living, and you have a right to be
.;. ved about it. While men may talk |
to you about reducing the high cost !
of living, yet it can be effectively re?
duced only in one way, and that is by
-, mi giving the Dest effici ncy that is
in you, so as to reduce cost of pro
duc t ion."
School Children Hail Candidat?
At Decatur, Ind., an hour and a quor
ter later, Senatoi Harding came out on
thi platform and found that about j
1,000 persons had ' contributed to the |
thuiidi rous yei! that had welcomed his I
train. Thi re was a fife and drum corps
of boys in white duck uniforms and
groups of school children were lined
up on both sides of the tracks. A party
h school girls took up a position'
;j.ust behind the candidate's car and
caused him to smile happily when they!
chanted: "We're for Harding! He's
"1 (?o not mean to find fault with
my fellow countrymen of the opposite,
political faith," began the Senator,
after ?i few pleasantries. "1 only mean

Ship Strike Threatens to Close
Port of Dublin Within a Week

Copyright, 1920, New i'orb Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Oct. 6.?The Port of Dub?
lin may be closed within a week. The
strike begun several days ago among
seamen and firemen of the British
Irish Steam Packet Company has
spread until to-day many ships were
held up and sailings to Manchester,
Liverpool and London suspended. Ten
thousand men may be thrown out of
work and a situation paralleling the
famous Larkin strike of 1913 pro?
duced.
Livestock is pouring into Dublin from
the Irish provinces for shipment. Al?
ready thousands of sheep and cattle
are held up.
On the surface the strike has no po?
litical significance. It is for an in
crensa in Wages. Irish labor is well
i organized and its influence in the coun-i
try'- affairs lias been overlooked in
consideration of the Sinn Fein.
The American authorities in Dublin
have information that labor intends :
to seize control of the country in the
event of independence. There is talk
of communism and the pai y's program .
has been compere,', by a prominent
American in Dublin with that of the
internationale, but there appears
to ; ? little foundation for fear of
Bol -::? v'.s.t,.
H ith sidos in the Irish political con?
troversy might cone ivably have rea?
sons for desiring a strike which will
completely tie up the port of Dublin,
but the chief hard-hips are going to !
fall on workers and their families,
while both the Knglish and Iriah public

Incidentally, Mr. Lloyd George expresses the belief that the United
States will formally join the League of Nations'after the Presidential
I election, and asserts that when Germany also enters, which will be as
soon as she gives proof of her good faith, the league will become an
' effective instrument instead of, as now, a mere league of the Allies.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 6. -Georgia, for
the third time within less than six
months, has repudiated the League of
Nations and cast her vote for a bitter
opponent of President Wilson. The
latest reverse for the President's poli?
cies came to-day in what appears at
this hour to be the sweeping victory
of Thomas W. Hardwick, former United
States Senator, over Clifford Walker,
former Attorney General of Georgia.
Mr. Walker stood tlatfooted for the
league and in strong defense of the
policies and the actions of the Presi?
dent. Ilo assailed Hardwick for his
stand during the war, denounced him
for his defense of L. C. A. K. Martens,
Bolshevik "Ambassador to the United
States," and predicted the coming of j
Soviet propaganda into Georgia.
Hardwick was defeated for re?lec- I
tion to the Senate during- the war be- j
cause fjL' his antagonism to the war
policies of the President, and was
charged with hampering the Adminis- >
tration in the prosecution of that great
struggle. He based his present race i
on opposition to the League of Nations.
Hardwick Aided bv Watson
In his battle Hardwick -.va? aided by i
Thomas E. Watson, former Populist
candidate for the Presidency, whose!
paper, The Jeffersonia i, w as .-oppressed
during the war for its stund on con?
scription and who has been an uncom-|
promising antagonist of the President
Watson, who has just been nominated i
for the United States Senate to sue- |
ceed Hoke Smith, has declared against
any kind of a league, asserting that the
United States is able to stand upon her
own feet, needs no foreign help, wants
no foreign entanglements and should
revert to the policies of Monroe, Jeffer-J
son, Jackson and Washington.
The first defeat for the league issue
in Georgia came when almost two
thirds of the state went, against the
pact it) the Presidential primary. About
one-third of the voters wer- for Sena?
tor Smith, who favored the league, but
with strong reservations; more than
one-third tor Watson, who opposed
any kind of covenant, and one-third ;
for A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney Gen?
eral, who stood for the pact. Palmer
got the delegation as the result o? a
small plurality of the county unit vote.
Then came the first primary, when
Watson swept the state by an enor?
mous vole over Governor Hugh Dorsey,
who sponsored the league fight and
Wilsonian Democracy, and Senator
Smith, who stood half way between his
two i pponents. In the primary Hard?
wick lacked only four county unit
votes of being nominated.
In the second race John Holder, for?
mer Speaker of the House, was elimi?
nated, and Walker and Hardwick ran
it over, Watson speaking on s.ral
occasions on the sanie platform with
Hardwick and assailing Walker as a
"sorry little fellow.''

Spencer Right
I In Wilson Row,
Says Cravatli
Former Member of Col.
House's Mission Declare?
President Pledged Aid to
Serbians and Rumanians
Treaty Speech Is Quoted
Obligation of Congress to
Declare War to Uphold
League Is Pointed Out
Paul I.r? Cravath issued a statement
last night supporting the contention of
Senator Spencer of Missouri that Presi?
dent Wilson told the Rumanian and
Serbian representatives at Versailles
that the United States stood ready tc
send troops in case of attack. Thi.
contention was denied by the President
and Secretary Tumulty.
Mr. Cravath was a member of the
: Colonel House mission representing
the United States government at th
Inter-Allied Conference in Paris m
: 191.7. He spent the fall of 1918 as ad
visory counsel to the United Statei
Treasury mission abroad. Mr. Cra
vath's memorandum follows:
"President Wilson admitted to th?
Senate committee that Article X wou'.c
impose 'an absolutely compelling moral
obligation,' which he sa.d was 'superior
to a lega! obligation?and has a greatei
binding force.' I am sure the President
would be the last person to contend
that Congress would be free to refrain
from declaring war if the result would
be a clear violation of the 'absolutely
compelling moral obligation' thin as?
sumed. It. is instructive in this con
nection to consider what the President
himself has said regarding the obliga?
tion to go to war to vindicate Article
X. At Versailles on February II. 1919
when first submitting the draft plan tc
the peace conference, President Wilsor
said;
"'Armed force is in the background
in this program, but it is in the back?
ground, and if the morel force of thi
world will not suffice the physica
force-of the world shall.'
Aimed Intervention Assured
"Upon the same occasion Leor
Bourgeois, a distinguished Frencr
jurist and a member of the commit.,',
that drafted the covenant, after point
ing out, in President Wilson's presence
and without evoking any dissent, tha
the proposed covenant provided tha
'all the states . . . take . .
a definite pledge to guarantee t<
each other the integrity of tb.ei
territories as established by thi
settlement of the present treaty
and : lso to guarantee their po
litical independence against, future ap,
gression,' said:
'?'If one state fit may be the small
est and most remote o all the state:
is attacked without justification, the:
the whole of the League of Nations i
being attacked, and will resist.'
?'Later the President defended th
treaty whereby the United States an
Great Britain agreed 'to come immedi
ateiy to the assistance of France i
c e of an unprovoked attack by Ger
many.' which clearly contemplated wai
as 'merely hastening the action t
which we should be bound by th
League of Nation-.'
"On May 31, 1919, the President, i
explaining the treaty and the loa^u
to the repre entatives of Rumania an
Serbia, made the following statement:
which are recorded in the minutes a
that session:
"'If the world is again perturbed, i
the conditions that we consideras fur
damental are airain nut into questioi
the guaranty which is given to yo
means that the United States will sen
their armies and their fleet from or
side of the ocean to the other.'
Many Opportunities for War
"The language l&st above Quoted
the basis of the recent colloquy bi
tween the President and Mr, Tumult
and Senator Spencer.
"It is difficult to see how upon th
record the President can now ser
ously contend that 'there is nothii
in the covenant which in the lea
interferes with or impairs the rig!
of Congress to declare war or not d
clare war, according to its own ind
perdent judgment,' or that it is r.
'possible for other nations to lead i
into war, whether we will by our ov
independent judgment or not.'
"There can be no escape from tl
concusi?n that in case 'external a
gression' threatened the 'territorial i
tegrity and political independence'
any of the states that are parties
the !ea<rue the obligation of the Unit
States to e-o to war, if necessary
make its guaranty effective, v.
automatic. If, In such a case, t
American member of the League Cou
cil refused to vote for war simply
keep his country out of trouhie
would be a welcher, and if for t
same reason Congress refused to c
clare war it would be guilty of u
tional dishonor."
