CL.KVEI.AND, O.. Oct. 12. (Special.)
The Cleveland Americans defeated
tho Brooklyn Nationals 3 to 2 today
In tbe seventh and deciding game of
4he 1320 world's championship series.
The victory was tbe third straight
for the Indians.
The Dodgers got just one man to
first base in the opening inning. With
two out. Tommy Griffith bounded one
down to Loe. Johnston. Coveleskie
dashed to cover the bag and the throw
clipped by him. But there were two
out hen it happened, and Wheat
lifted a pop fly to Wambsganss.
In the second inning, Burleigh
Grimes faced Elmer Smith, the native
born Ohioian, who cracked the ball
over the fence with bases filled last
Sunday, but the saliva delivery of
Grimes seemed to be breaking as
planned today. Smith bounded one
down to Kilduff, who made a pretty
top and a fast peg to first.
With Smith out of the way, Larry
Gardner poked one down to Jack
Sheehan. the recruit third baseman of
the Dodgers. Sheehan made a high
wild throw, high and wild enough to
pass beyond the hooks of big Ed Ko
netchy. On ground rules, Gardner
went to second on the error.
Grimes Is Made Impatient.
Thjs seemed to make the tow
headed Grimes impatient and he
passed Doc Johnston. Two on bases
and one out. It looked as if the
initial drive of the Indians was about
to start. Joe Sewell, the Alabama
university alumnus, lined one just in
side the right field foul line and the
inmates started to cut loose just a.
little too soon. Tommy Griffith dove
toward the line with Kellermanesque
Trace and swiftness, reaching the ball
with one hand. Little Peterkin Kil
duff choked the cheers by tossing out
Steve 0"Neill and Mr. Grimes was all
right that far.
The towheaded Mr. Grimes got the
first hit of the game in the third,
after Otto Miller struck out. It was
a Texas leaguer in short left center
and the pill dropped to the ground
after Sewell, Speaker and Jamison
became entangled. Olson was safe
when Sewell fumbled a poke and be
came bewildered for the inBtant.
Jack Sheehan Gets Hit.
Jack Sheehan bounded a hit down
toward second and the ball caromed
from Ivy Olson's shins. That put
Olson out and left Sheehan a technical
tingle. Tommy Griffith ended all
hope for an onslaught on the spitting
pole by hoisting an easy one to Smith.
Grimes almost put himself out of
the game in the Indians' half of the
third inning. Jamieson drove a sizzling
liner straight at him and Grimes
knocked it down with his bare hand,
making the throw to first. Then
Burleigh spent some time pulling his
ringers back into joint. He came
back to pitch though. Wambsganss
laid down a bunt In the direction of
Jack Sheehan and beat it to the bag.
Kildofr Nabs Faat Drive.
Speaker crashed one at little
Peterkin Kilduff and It looked as if
the drive would take the former
pride of the Omaha stockyards right
out of the lot, but Peterkin blocked
the ball and threw out the Indian
manager. Again in the fourth inning,
the finish or Coveleskie seemed to
impend, but it did not get any further
than the impending stage. Zack
Wheat hit the screen on top of the
rignt iieia lence. ue rounded first
nd started to stretch it for a two
eagger. it looked that good, but
Elmer Smith, who knew the territory.
gauged th angle of the rebound to a
whisker. He nailed the pill and caught
Wheat at second with a perfect throw
to V ambaganss.
Then came the first crash in the
Indians' half of the fourth. With
one out Larry Gardner bounded one
just out of reach of Peterkin Kilduff.
Doc Johnston drove a single and sent
Gardner to third. Sewell hoisted one
to short left and Gardner clung to
the bag. He knew that the throw
would beat him.
Infield Holds Conference.
The infield gathered around Grimes
to debate the advisability of passing
ONeill. The decision was that
Grimes should pitch to him. "
Suddenly Johnson shot the hall to
ward second. Miller whisked the ball
to Grime's. Johnston paused Just
little off second, seemingly bewil
dered. It might have been inside base
ball. It might have been that he was
coaxing a throw but it did not look
like it. It looked as though Johnston
could be put out with a quick pass
to Olson, who was on the bag.
Grimes snapped me pan ana the
r throw was wild. Gardner on third

Four Quarts of Dynamite Confined
in Glass Jar Placed in Base
ment of Newspaper Office.
NORTH BEND. Or., Oct. 12. (Spe
cial.) Failure of the fuse attached
to four quarts of dynamite confined
in a gallon syrup glass jar to burn
saved the plant of the Sunday Morn
ing Bee from destruction and the life
of its owner, Frank B. Cameron,
whose home is in the building. The
bomb was placed In the basement of
the Bee office some .time Sunday
night. Kditor Cameron found it next
morning.
Examination of the bomb by police
of this city disclosed that the fuse,
which had been run through the tin
top, had been slightly squeezed to
gether and it is this that is credited
for the failure of the fuse to con
tinue burning.
The Sunday Morning Bee is an in
dependent newspaper and has been
the object of many enemy attacks be
cause of its stand against conditions,
local and general.
Policemen who have watched the
premises since the bomb was found
said there are a few clews. It was
found that the entrance to the base
ment was made through an open win
dow and the tracks of the man who
placed the bomb were there. There Is
little, Mr. Cameron says, upon which
to base suspicion.

SITUATION IS HELD ALARMING
Embargo on Imports From
Canada Is Wanted.
U. S. ATTITUDE RESENTED
Sales of V. S. Crops Declared to Be
More Vital Than Disposal of
Daily Output Articles.
THE OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 12. Farmers of this
country will demand tomorrow that
the federal government extend more
liberal treatment to the agricultural
interests through the extension of
credits. An attempt also will be made
for an application of the embargo
upon the importation of Canadian
wheat.
Arrangements for pre entation of
the case of the farmers was made to
day through J. S. Wanamakcr, presi
dent of the Amer'can Cotton Grow
ers' association, acting for. the Na
tional Board of Farm Organizations.
Mr. Wanamakcr talked with Joseph
Tumulty, secretary to the president,
and with Secretary of the Treasury
Houston, and arranged that the rep
resentatives of the agricultural inter
ests of the country should meet with
members of the cabinet and members
of the federal reserve board at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Sessions Are Started.
Sessions began here today at the
offices of the National Board of Farm
Organizations attended by representa
tives of the southern cotton growers,
the corn growing farmers of the mid
dle west and the wheat farmers of
the northwest. Several members of
the senate and about 18 members of
congress were present. While there is
variety of opinion relative to the
methods that should be used in avert
ing what is believed to be a threat
ened disaster to the agricultural in
terests of the country, there was
unanimity of opinion that the national
administration, with special reference
to the treasury department and the
federal reserve board, has erred In
restricting credits to farmers.
It was pointed out that manufac
turers like Henry Ford, and others,
turn out their products daily and can
afford to buy on a falling market.
The farmer, on the contrary, produces
one crop a year. His product is mar

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12. (Special.)
Senator Harding is passing one day
this week in Tennessee and a little
later the republican vice-presidential
candidate, Mr. Coolidge, will spend
a day there.
Since there Is no senator to be
elected in Tennessee, there must be
another reason for the two candidates
giving a day of their limited time
for campaigning to this state.
Hrpullicnn Hop, for Trnarnifr.
The reason lies in the fact that the
republicans this year hope to add
Tennessee to the list of doubtful
border states. To put it more
strongly, the republicans hope to
carry Tennessee. It is a real hope
based on investigation
edge and not merely
campaign "big talk."
an d knowl
put out as
Up to very recently, I think the
republicans have been a degree
justified in this hope, but at the
present moment there is an uneasy
backwash in all the border states
which seems to favor the democrats.
It is confined wholly . to the border
states and does not extend to the
west. The west is just as republican
as it has been at any time during
the campaign, and so far as there is
any swing in the west at all, it i
rai.ncj in ine airectlon of greater
republican majorities.
Color Question Cornea l
But as to the border states, as it
might have been said two weeks ago
tnat the republicans had a chance to
carry all but one of them, that would
not be a statement today. The reason
i3 wholly local. It is the color ques
tion. The local republican managers in
many of these border communities
were rather over aggressive in
stimulating the registration of negro
women. That, in connection with
some other things that have come
up in the south in reference to the
color question, has created a reaction.
The democrats haven't been, by any
means, free from criticism in some
of the ways that the local' democrats
in the border states have used and
are using the color argument. It
isn't an agreeable aspect of the cam
paign to discuss and it is possibly
best to let it go with the statement
that the republicans are a little less
apt to carry these border states today
j than they were soma time ago.
n..nkllM. P..JIJ.,. -- I
The republicans expectations of
carrying Tennessee was based on
several facts. The republican factions
I in the state are united for the first
time in several years. Also the
republicans have a popular candidate
for governor, "Al" Taylor, a brother
of "Fiddling Bob" Taylor, who was
a popular character in Tennessee
politics some years ago.
Furthermore, the democrats in
Tennessee are badly torn by faction
alism. One of Tennessee's senators.
Shields, has come to a position as
regards the league of nations which
may fairly be called close to that of
the irreconcilables. During the de
bate in the senate. Senator Shields
favored the league with reservations,
but more lately he has seemed to go
rartner in ine airectlon or the bitter
enders. Democrats Well Inoculated.
When an old-fashioned state rights
democratic voter is inoculated, as
some of them have been in Tennessee
by their own party leaders, with the
idea that th,e league of nations im
plies a partial surrender of sov
ereignty and when they have got
thoroughly set in that impression,
then, as one disgusted politician ex
pressed It, about the only thing that
will change them is a rock crusher.
Finally, among the reasons for the
republican hSpes of carrying Tennes
see is the fact that a. certain number
of business men of the state who are
normally democratic this year wish
for a republican administration and
are willing to help bring it about.
Tennessee has never been so solidly
democratic as most of the other
southern states. In 1916, the demo
cratlc majority was only 2000 and
the year Taft ran, in 1908, it wad
only 17,000.
Spencer's Seat la Danger.
As to the other border states.
Missouri still leans toward the repub
licans. But there is this to be added
to what I said about Missouri some
days ago: As It now looks the re
publican senatorial candidate in Mis
souri, Senator Spencer, is expected to
run some 25,000 votes behind Harding.
That is to say, even though the
republicans should carry Missouri on

Patrolman for 2 0 Minutes Fights

Rolls Off to Street.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Patrolman
.Martin Gill today struggled for 20
minutes on the roof of a five-story
building with a San Domingo negro
he was trying to arrest and then shot
his antagonist to save himself from
being hurled Into the street.
The nefcro, with a bullet in his
stomach, slid off the roof, falling into
a basket of wash left on the sidewalk.
There he died a few minutes later.
Scores of pedestrians stood on Sixth

struggle, while persons in several
hotels nearby pressed their faces to
window panes.
Finally a former sailor dashed up
stairs to the roof and caught Gill by
one leg just as the negro was about
to roll him into the street.
The negro, identified as Rafael Co
lin, by this time had obtained Gills
pistol. He fired at the patrolman.
wounding him. The sailor cracked Co
lin on the head with a piece of wood
and. Gill regaining his weapon, fired
twice as the negro made his last
furious rush. Medical Examiner Nor-
riis later expressed the opinion that
Colin wa insane.
Gill, a veteran of the world-war.
who recently rescued two women from
drowning in Central Lake p:irk. said
he had attempted to arrcft Colin on
complaint of a woman who said he
had insulted her.
HARDING STAYS IN LEAD

U. S. MAKING PREPARATIONS
State Department Looks For
ward to Era of Anarchy.
WRANGEL'S POWER GAINS
Anti-Bolshevik Forces in Southea-st-cm
Part of Europe Arc Con
stantly Being Augmented.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Signs of
the approaching collapse of bolshev
ism in RuFsia arc seen by state de
partment officials in the crumbling
of soviet authority on the Polish
front and the rapidly augmenting
strength of antl-boishevik foree-s in
the southeastern part of liurope under
General Wrangel.
A 1 ready con side rat ion is being given
at the department, it was fcaid today,
to what may follow the end of soviet
rule in Russia. The prospect of
anarchy and chaos in the event of
soviet dissolution is very real, ac
cording to officials, but the belief
was expressed that the local zemstvos
have been so well organized as to
maintain a semblance of order and
.some cohesion of economic life until
a stable government capable of or
ganising the adherents of the ma
jority of the Russians shall arise
rrraiiD Situation Clear..
The situation in Persia where for
a time bolshevism threatened to dis
rupt the country, recently has cleared
satisfactorily, according to reports
received by the department. The
league of boLshevlsm with the Turkish
nationalists also is regarded as having
been weakened with the rout of
Mustapha Kemal and his followers.
Most significant indication of the
wane of soviet vnflucnc.o in Europe,
according to officials, was the rejec
tion of the bolshevik overtures by
Switzerland, which is situated no as
to be able to form an accurate opinion
of the character and future of the
soviet regime. It is now also known
tnat somewhat arlier Koumania, re
jected overtures of the soviet gov
ernment, it was said.
SoelallMs May Divide.
