Yanks Blew Up
New York, Sept. 30, — Red
Ruffing, pitcher and the Yankee
infield blew up in the rain this
afternoon with a resounding roar
in the 8th inning, giving the
Giants and Carl Hubbell an easy
6 to 1 victory, in a miserably wet
setting of the opening game of
the World Series.
Short Summary
New York, Sept. 30, — Carl
Hubbel, struggling with a two to
one lead in a down pour of rain
which was driving many of the
forty-five thousand spectators to
cover, gained a respite when
the Giants went to town with a
riot of hits, caused by errors on
a muddy, soggy diamond and
slippery grass, in the last of the
eighth inning.
Terry singled to center and Ott
beat out a singling bunt, catch
ing the Yankee infield napping,
and Terry going to second.
Ripple sacraficed and Mancus
co was passed intentionally.
Yankee pitcher Ruffing lost con
trol and walked Whitehead, fore
ing in Terry. Then Ott counted
for another run on Jackson’s
long fly to center for the second
out.
Hubbell sliced a dinky hit off of
Lazerri’s glove. Crossetti picked
it up and tried to catch Mancus
co at the plate, but the heave
was wild to Dickey, the catcher,
who chased it and heaved it past
Ruffing who was defending the
plate, Whitehead scoring.
Moore grounded to Crosseti to
end the inning.
The Yanks were leading when
Kirks hit a homer to the right
field stands in the third, and Bar
tell hit a homer to the left field
stands in the fifth.

ROOOSEVELT REPUDIATED
CHARGE HE WAS RECEIVING
SUPPORT FROM COMMUNIST
(By The Associated Press}
SYRACUSE, Sept. 30, — Con
tending that his record showed
“a consistent adherence to the let
ter and spirit of the American
form of government” President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, opened his
campaign for reelection, with a
repudiation of “the support of
any advocate of communism.”
He called communism a false
issue in the campaign.
He told the state democratic
convention “the previous nation
al administration encouraged con
ditions that fostered communism.
The Democratic party has been
realistic enough to face this men
ace. Never was there a greater
need for fidelity to the under
lying conception of Americanism
than there is today.
“Once again it has been given
our party the duty to carry the
message of Americanism to the
people. Here and now—once and
for all—let us bury that ‘red her
ring’, and destroy that false is
sue.”
A yelling and whistling throng
cheered him. Men and women
came to their feet waving flags
and hats; shouting when he re
pudiated the charge of commun
ist support.

Man With Dual
Mind Can Write
With 2 Hands
(By The Associated Press) j
SYDNEY, Australia, —A man
with a “dual brain”—who can do
two things at once—has been dis
covered living at Beecraft, a sub;
urb of Sydney.
The man, Stirling Wilkinson,
can write different words and
sentences simultaneously with
both hands. He can draw to sep
arate drawings at the same time
with astonishing accuracy.
Mr. Wilkinson would make an j
extraordinary “quick” bookkeep-1
er as he can make the entries i
with one hand as he writes in
the figures with the other. Anoth
er accomplisment is that he can
write words backward.
His explanation is that he was
born with a “dual brain.”
When he first went to school
he used to write words back
ward with his left hand. The
only way his teacher could read
what he had written was by hold
ing the paper up to the school
room window or to a mirror.

orthodox manner with his right
MARITIME SITUATION
GROWING SHARPER
ON THE COAST
Mayor Dore Of
Seattle Protect
Marine Workers
(By The Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Sept. 30, — Mayor
Dore told maritime workers at a
mass meeting here last night that
he would promise police protec
tion, if they are locked out of the
hiring halls.
He said the people should rise
up and demand that President
Roosevelt take over the shipping
industry, if the ship-owners re
fuse to agree to a truce.
Dore said: “If the shipowners
put on a lockout, Roosevelt will
take charge of the ships of the
country and it will be a long
time before they will get them
back. It will be the last time the
government will pay steamship
subsidies.
“If this were a fight only of
the labor unions, I wouldn’t be
interested, but this is a fight for
all wage earners-, organized and
unorganized.”

hand, his left arm was placed in
splints and strapped to his body.
This had the desired result, but
it did not prevent him from re
taining the ability of writing with
his left hand. Later when he en
tered college, he did not reveal
that he could write equally well
with both hands.
After a time he committed a
misdemeanor and had to write
400 lines. By using both hands
at once, he was able to accomplish
his “task” in half the time of the
other boys.
The master accused him of hav
ing another boy to help him, but
Wilkinson then explained his ab
ility to do two things at once.
After that his detention was al
ways double that of the other
boys.
