Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Oct. 24.
Just to show that he could come
back, the weatherman turned out a
product today that was of the made
to-order variety and when play was
called at 2:00 p. ia., in the fourth
oontest of the world's series Old
Sol was beaming on the job Just
though he had never slipped a cog.
Not a cloud flecked the sky and the
slightly footballing snap in the at
mosphere only served to enliven
things and superinduce the loosen
ing of enthusiasm.
Notwithstanding all the bad
things said of it, Shibe Park re
sponded nobily to a vigorous mas
sage and rub-down with the result
that both the infield and the outer
gardens were In better than fair
shtipe and, while the turf was soggy
enough to reduce the speed of the
outfielder, the infield and base lines
were In as good condition as when
the first game of the series was
played here.
That the long delay tn the series
and the Incidental troubles and dis
gention such as the Snodgrass-Baker
matter and the moving picture trou
ble had not heightened interest in
the series was shown in the lack of
early standees before the bleached
box opened and by the fact that it
was long past one o'clock before the
bleachers were filled.
Baker, like a real star, timed his
entry several minutes behind that
oi the other Athletics and received
the hand that was due him and
which he evidently expected. The
Giants were In better spirits follow
ing the long rest and they figured
the delay was more to their advant
age than that of their opponents.
The line-ups:
Giants. Athletics.
Devore, If. Lord, If.

SIGN SAMETH
PAPERS_TODAY
Will be Brought to Middle
sex This Week.
Following the extradition of Emil
Sameth from New York to this state
it ig likely that Sameth will be de
clared bankrupt and that a trustee
in bankruptcy will be named to have
charge of his estate. It is expected
that Governor Dix of New York will
sign the requisition papers for trans,
ferring Sameth to Middlesex county
today or tomorrow. In that event
the man might be brought here this
week.
Sameth will have to plead to in
dictments for embezzling, with doing
an unlawful banking business and
falling to transmit money deposited
with him. Hls former place of
business at 876 State street Is still
closed and will undoubtedly remain
so until a trustee in bankruptcy has
been appointed. Harry Conard, the
temporary receiver, has completed
his work, except to continue to act
as guardian over the goods and chat
tels left in Sameth's former business
establishment and home.

WILL CONFIRM
CITY'S RIGHTS
City Attorney Claims that
Ends of Streets Belong to
Perth Amboy.
HAD RIGHT FOR YEARS
Riparian Board Said to
Agree on Matter-Favor
able Action Expected.
That this city has riparian rights
to the ends of streets from Bucking
ham avenue around to the foot of
High street and that the present
Board ot Riparian Commissioners
will shortly confirm those rights, is
the opinion of City Attorney C. C.
Homniann as given to city officials.
He is now preparing a historic brief
to that effect, which he expects to
have completed in a day or so. This
will be forwarded to the secretary
of the Board of Riparian Commis
sioners to be laid before the board.
The commissioners seem to agree
with Mr. Hommann that the city has
the right to ends of streets over a
greater part of the city extending
back from colonial times. It there
fore seems only a question of having
the Board of Riparian Commission
ers pass thereon.
The Board of Riparian Commis
sioners was In this city on September
28. City Attorney Hommann then
broached the subject to its members.
He has learned that they practically
agree with him that the city has
riparian rights to streets from Buck
ingham avenue around to High
street. There seems to be little
doubt In the minds of Alderman-at
large Voorhees and other city offi
cials but that the city will shortly
have its rights in that respect con-.
Armed. Ab the city attorney's con-:
tention includes but streets running
to Staten Island sound, Rarltan bay
and Raritan river from Buckingham
avenue to High street, efforts may
follow for riparian rights to other
streets terminating at the water
front.
MUST OBEY IF
THEY RETURN
Audsley Children May Soon
be at School,
; According to statements made to
I day by Superintendent of School S
i ht. Shntl M<f Hnnrr Wrr'Rf, prWTfKfr
of the grammar school, the school
authorities in this city have washed
their handB of the Audsley flag dis
pute affair. Rotv. nf the forcgGliis,
authorities claitn that the Audsley
children are privileged to enter the
schools again as soon as their par
ents express their willingness to al
low them to comply with the require
ments of the school authorities.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Audsley are of
the opinion that they should be offi
cially notified that their children can
come back to school, aB they were
given notice In an official manner
when they were forced to take them
away. This statement when placed
before Mr. Hulse this morning
caused much comment from him, as
he said In his original letter to the
Audsleys that their children would
be denied the privilege as long as
they refuse to obey the instructions
j of the school.
Ab the oath of allegiance to which
they took exception has been limi
nated It is believed that affairs will
be patched up and the children re
turn to school. Mrs. Audsley when
questioned as to whether any hard
feeling existed between the family
and the school authorities, replied
In the negative.
The question as to the legality of
keeping the children out of school is
doubted by some, but the authorities
claim the right to suspend any child
who disregards the laws of the
school. In this case the truant
clause becomes invalid as long as
the child will not comply with the
wishes of the school authorities. J
