Story by Carl S. Bandebary, of the Associated Press Staff
YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Oct. 11. (/P)—'The
baseball champions of the universe, the Cards, who won
today from the Yanks by the score of 4 to 2, collected all
their runs in the fourth inning with three hits and two
errors. The Yankee infield defense crumpled in this in
ning, Meusel dropping a fly and Koenig hobbling Bell's
bounder. Ruth homered into the right field stand. Haines
is credited with the Cardinal victory.
The grounds were in good condition but light batting
was anticipated as it was too dark to follow the course of
the ball. Canvas covers were taken from base paths and
batting and pitching from the boxes took place for an
hour before time for the game was called.

at 9:30 o'clock, Seattle time but at 10:40 rained again. It
was very cloudy. Unugr sodden skies the teams faced the

clouds which intermittently were dripping moisture upon
about 40,000 fans. The gates in the unreserved section
opened at 8 o'clock when several hundred fans filed in.
They sheltered themselves under newspapers.
Pitchers were Waite Hoyt for the Yanks and Jess
Haines for the Cardinals. Both are righthanders.

Declares Sutherland’s Break with

Been Extremely Hurtful to Terri
tory
ANCHORAGE, Oct. 11. (^—Ad
mittedly a Sutherland stronghold, An
chorage filled the Empress theatre
Saturday night to hear Thos. A. Mar
quam, Independent candidate for dele
gate to congress, discuss political is
sues. Nearly 700 heard the address
which occupied two and one-half
hours. Wm. Murry, president of the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, in
troduced Mr. Marquam.
; The frequent applause resounded as
I convincing arguments were hammer
ed home. Mr. Marquam denied cate*
gorically the H. Hall Young charges
| and also explained the motive of
! Young. The attack showed why Dan
|
Sutherland is opposing Judge Reed
and District Attorney Shoup. He
! condemned Sutherland’s attack on
I Alaska morals as the outgrowth of a
personal quarrel with Judge Reed and
said he favored a fair literacy test
which will protect white Alaskans
against the Indian illiteracy mass vot
ing. He outlined a constructive leg
islative program as his platform and
reviewed Sutherland’s accomplish
ments which he says were confined
chiefly to introducing routine depart
ment measures, and to the obstruc
tion to the literacy test and h=s ef
fort to extend voting franchise to
Canadian Indians residing in Alaska.
Mr. Marquam produced a record
showing Sutherland is responsible for
the appearance of the Dr. Clearance
True Wilson before the judiciary com
mittee at Washington and gave strong
endorsement to Herbert Hoover’s
fisheries policies. He declared Suth
erland’s break with Hoover was with
out warrant and was extremely hurt
ful to Alaska.
He said much interest is expressed
in the belief that the Alaska delegate
can accomplish more at Washington
by cultivating friends than by fight
ing the administration and believes
a delegate could accomplish real good
by formulation of constructive poli
cies instead of confining his activities
to petty squabbles. Marquam will talk
in Seward Monday night, thenca to
Valdez, Chitina, Cordova, concluding
his campaign in the First division.
