POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK. Oct.
11.—With Babe Ruth lost to them for
the rest of the series and a game in the
bank to the good, the battling Yankees
tackled the Giants in the sixth game of
the world series here this afternoon full
of fight and determined to win, despite
the disablement of their bii- siege gun.
Ruth is out for the series. His left
arm is swollen badly from shoulder to
elbow, and his physician told him that
he must either stay out of the Y'ank
line-up or take the chance of having his
arm amputated. The infected elbow,
lanced Saturday night, has spread poi
son through his upper arm, and the mem
ber is giving him intense pain.
The loss of Ruth is a severe blow to
the Yankees, but Manager Huggins and
his players will not admit that they are
handieaped, for with three victories
against two for the Giants they have the
edge and in case they should win today's
game they will be, as the fans say, • all
to the merry.”
The weather this afternoon could not
have been better. The sun was of the
August variety and there was scarcely
any breeze.
The sun poured down a most com
fortable warmth that caused the first
shirt sleeves of the series to appear in
the bleachers.
Babe Ruth arrived at the grounds at
1 o’clock. His arm was heavily bandaged
and he carried it in a sling. He did not
put on his uniform. ,
‘‘Well, I'm out of it,” said Babe. "I'd
take a chance of losing an arm if 1
played, so there's nothing to it now. The
Yanks can get along without me. They’ll
go through now, sure.”
Ruth was downcast over his ill fortune
I but resigned at last to the “break” that
will keep him out of the rest of the world
series games.
After the Giants had worked out la.
fielding practice for fifteen minutes the
Yanks went out. Harry Harper, the
Yank southpaw pitcher, with a flaming
red Jersey under his shirt, warmed up
with Frank Roth ,the veteran coach.
Big Fred Toney was announced as the
hurler for the Giants. He went out and
warmed up with Mike Gonzales.
Ten minutes before game time, Babe
Ruth left his box and walked across
the field with his head down, to a corner
iu the Yanks’ bench, where lie sat down
next to Manager Huggins. The crowd at
this time was disappointing. There were
hundreds of vacant seats in the upper
stands and the reserved lower stand was
not filled. The bleachers, however, were
packed, bnt it seemed that the crowd
would not exceed 30,i>>0.

Frank Francis, arrested in Louis
ville on burglary charges, iu a state

Mr. Hartman has refused the offer,
he said, and has appealed to the pub

The statement is as follows
“To tlie Uttlzen. ot Indianapolis:

FRANCIS DOESN’T .
KNOW ME—WHITE
Lieutenant of Police Declares
Confessed Burglar Is
* Liar.’
Following the footsteps of several other
men named in the confession of Frank
; Francis, burglar, Lieut. Walter W hite of
! police department today described
j Francis as, “a d—d liar.”
Lieutenant White was a captain of po
! lice under the Bell administration and
j was the Uepubluan captain at that time.
J He is known to his friends ns “Captain”
YVhite and it was by this term that Fran
cis referred to him.
Lieutenant YVhite, however, has kept
quiet until today when he took occasion
to describe the “talkative burglar” ns
"a d—d liar,” and to declare. “Francis
would not know me either with my uni
form on or my uniform off. He never
saw me in his life.”
That part of Francis’ confession In
which he mentioned the lieutenant was is
follows:
“The next morning Herb (Hartman)
and Fred Hartman and Captain White
came over and advised Hartman to leave
and go to West Baden so be wouldn't
have to pay off.”
The “pay off” referred to primary elec
tion expenses, according to Francis’
statement.

FINAL EDITION
WORLD SERIES EXTRA.
The police are reticent about tbelr part
in the Journey, but it is known that Chief:
Kinney and Inspector Fletcher left In-:
dianapolis yesterday afternoon at 3:30'
o’clock in the second emergency antomo
bilc, presumably bound for Louisville. !
When Francis arrived at the grand'
I jury room he was in custody of William j
: H. I>e Forester, chief of the Louisville!
I detectives, and James H. Barr, jailer of!
Jefferson County, Kentucky. Francis)
: was handcuffed and the officers carefully;
I guarded him.
! It was learned that the party had
| stolen out of Louisville early this morn-:
I ing aqd no announcement was made of
! the fact that Francis was gone. Later 1
the mystery was deepened when an
automobile usually driven by De For-j
ester was found abandoned in ’New-
Albany.
The car was discovered in front of a
garage at 6 o’clock this morning and the
engine was out of commission. The
Louisville police refused to comment on;
the incident and the car was held by the
New Albany police until it can be trans
ferred to Louisville.
Although the grand Jury officials ex
pected Francis this morning, It was ap-:
parent there wns no set time for him to
appear. The grand jury went Into ses
sion at 9 o'clock and remained there
marking time until Francis and his wife
were ushered into the reception room at
II ffiS o'clock.
The Louisville officers, Chief Kinney
and Presceutor Kraus accompanied the*
pair iuto the room and later Kinney and
Evans held a brief consultation La thet

HOLMES WANTS
FRANCIS UNDER BOND.
YVithiu a few minutes after Francis ar
rived, Ira Holmes, counsel for Mr. Hart
man, appeared before Judge James A.
Collins of the Criminal Court, and made
an oral motion asking that the prisoner
he placed upder bond to insure his ap- 1
pearance hare as a witness in the event!
Mar.ip.in is indicted by the grand jury.)
Judge Collins instructed the attorney to!
reduce his motion to writing and when,
this had been complied with, the Judge
set the hearing for 2 o'clock this after-j
noon.
Sidney Miller, deputy prosecutor, op-'
posed the motion iu the argumeut before
Judge Collins, contending that the court :
did not have authority as Francis wai
not within its jurisdiction. Mr. Holmes
declared that Judge Collins had jurlsdic-i
tion because Francis Is before the grand
Jury.
Judge Collins, however, refused to
until he bad heard the arguments of Pros- 1
eeutor Evans and the decision was post-'
poned until the prosecutor could free him J
self from the grand jury rooms.
The action of Chief Kinney and Inspect
tor Fletcher iu going to meet the Louis-!
villa authorities and in bringing tbenij
to the city by automobile adds another;
mysterious element to the many already!
encountered in getting the investigation
under way.
Chief Kinney, it was recalled, at the*
outset of the scandal, exonerated the* 1
police department from all blame and as-*
I sorted he would not permit Francis art
opportunity to attempt to select the of-T
; fleers whom the latter said were engaged
!in bootlegging operations during the
primary election.
Inspector Fletcher, who was mentioned
in the confession also, blocked the first)
, attempt to bring Francis here. He seized:
i upon the filing of a mandamus actior. byt
! Hartman’s attorney, which would have;
j forced the police to arrest Francis, n(t
warned the Louisville officers that ilj
Francis came here they were likely ttf
i lose him. This caused the Kentucky po-i
j lice to retain Francis and it was not!
until Prosecutjr Evans made a trip to
Louisville last Saturday and pledged blsi
personal word that the prisoner woulf
be returned that arrangements were madd
[ for the trip here.
The activity of Chief Kinney and In-i
spector Fletcher In the case hns been tbei
cause of much comment. Following Mr,'
Evans’ visit to Louisville. Kinney and,
Fletcher went there Sunday afternoon.
Then they again injected themselves Into
the affair by their operations of lass
night and today.
Another cause of comment was the In
stallation of a dictaphone at police
headquarters yesterday leading from'
Fletcher's office to that of Kinney. The
police said, however, the 6et was put
for experimental purposes.
The board of public safety and Mayor
Charles- W. Jewett conferred this morn
ing nnd afterward announced that there
was no statement to make. Board of
ficials Issued a statement when the con
fession was first made jublic that they
would follow Chief Kinney's recom<-
mendatlons in regard to a probe of the
police department. Following that the
board members have never broken their
silence i n regard to the revelations con
tained In the statement.
A large crowd gathered at the court
house and waited for hours for a look at
Francis. During the afternoon the crowd
on the second floor became so dense that
Judge Collins ordered the corridors
cleared of all persons who did not have
business with the courts. The orowd had
