CHICAGO WHITE SOX PLAY SHUT-OUT GAME AT HOME
v
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—In the pres-j
ence of more than forty thousand
baseball fans, the Chicago White |
Sox redeemed themselves this aft-;
ernoon by shutting the Cincinnati'
Reds out in the third game of the
World's series, the score being, Chi- j
cago 3, Cincinnati 0. The victory j
is attributed to the phenomenal j
pitching of Kerr, who allowed only j
three hits, and those scattered. The j
Sox were not in danger at any
time.
Ray Fisher pitched a fair game
for the Reds, but his fielding was
poor, an error helping the Sox to
win their victory. Chicago made
three runs, seven hits, and played
% an errorless game. The Reds did
not make any runs, secured only
three hits, and made one error.
The fourth game of the series,
will be played here tomorrow.
Interest in today’s game was such
that the crowd began gathering at
the park at midnight, and there was
a tremendous rush for seats up to
the time the game started. The
betting this morning favored the
Reds, with plenty of Cincinnati
money and few Chicago backers in
sight. Odds of 8 to 5 were offered
^ by the visitors.
The outcome of today's game-has
changed the betting, the Cincinnati
ans now demanding even money on
tomorrow's game.
TRANSPORT WORKERS
CANNOIJ3ET ACTION
LONDON'. Oct. 3.—The threat of
the transport workers of this covr.
try to call a general strike is re
ceiving small consideration by offi
cials of the government, who take
the view that any action of the
stevedores at this time is of little
consequence, for the reason that
the railroad strike has so upset con
ditions that another strike would
not add greatly to the general chaos.
Premier Lloyd George informed
representatives of the transport
workers yesterday that it would be
useless for the government to con
tinue negotiations with them so long
as the railwayman are out.
MAIL IS EXPECTED
AT FAIRBANKS SOON
A Erower mail stage is scheduled

KING OF ITALY MAY ACT
PARIS, Oct. 3.—Semi-official ad
vices received in this city from
Rome today indicate that the Ger
man peace treaty will be ratified in
I Italy by royal decree. It is under
stood the king now has the matter
under advisement and is planning to
issue a decree at an early date,
formally approving the treaty. 1
I WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3.—
Al! but one of the amendments to
the German peace treaty, which
were proposed by Senator Fall, have
been rejected by the United States
! senate, and the last one is now un
der consideration.
j The amendment over which the
jlrwmakers are now squabbling pro
poses the elimination of American
! representatives from the reparations
committee. This amendment was J
purposely left to the last, as it was
expected that the greatest difficulty
would be experienced in defeating '
it.
There is great elation in Demo
cratic circles over the outcome of
the senate battle up to the present I
time, and the prediction is made
that no serious difficulty will be
experienced in securing the ratifica
tion of the treaty.
NEW SLIPPED BILL
THROUGH IN HURRY
SEATTLE, Oct. 3.—Special ad
vices received today from Washing
ton by the Post-Injteiligencer state
that the parliamentary skill and
alertness of Senator Harry S. New.
Republican, of Indiana, was respon
sible for the passage yesterday by
the senate of the Currv Alaska
I
.railway bill, without amendment.
; The report states that, during a
II 5-minute lull in the senate proceed
ings, Senator New called up the
Alaska measure, beating, by a hair.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
Jwho wanted to address the senate
on the League of Nations proposi
tion. Both senators arose to their
feet almost at the same time, but
| New was fortunate in being first to
attract the attention of the chair
man. The bill was passed on the
third reading just as the time—Hmit
expired.
| It had been previously considered
that the senate would not consider
the Alaska measure until after the
peace treaty had been disposed of,
and the question came up with such
suddenness that no one was pre
pared to oppose action or propose
amendments.
The next step will be to secure
an appropriation as part of some
deficiency bill, a matter that is al
ready receiving the attention of
those who are sponsoring the mea
. sure.
