bade: hltii has abscess.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Babe
Ruth was Buffering- tonight
from a severe abscess on his
left arm, which his physician
.said made It doubtful If he
could get into the game tomor
row. The abscess may prevent him
from playing for several days.
In Thursday's game Ruth
stole second and then third,
sliding into the latter bag and
bruising his elbow. The injury
became infected while he was
playing. It caused him so much
pain in today's game that he
withdrew after getting a base
on balls in the eighth inning,
leaving Chick Fewster to run
for him.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. (Special.)
The last half of the seventh Inning
had come with the score knotted at
4 and 4. A boding hush had fallen
upon the multitude and the air was
rife with tenseness of impending
drama. The Giant cloud, no larger
than a man's hand a few minutes be
fore, had suddenly developed the
deadly spiral shape thai heralds an
approaching tornado. v
Suddenly from the Giant bench, this
warning cry rang out across the
field, piercing the silence like a
word.
"Get the women and children to a
place of safety."
The startling echo had hardly died
away before the combination earth
quake and tidal wave hit the Yanks
In the back of the neck and washed
them out to sea.
What happened? With apologies to
the illustrious 'Tad, "You tell 'em
Lettuce, I haven't got the heart"
12 Rial Scored.
There was a rending and a slash
ing of horsehide, a drumfire of mus
ketry, a volcanic thunder of big guns,
the sound of rushing, hurrying feet
and above all the wild four-cornered
battle howl of the Giant rooter, who
at lt with his shackles knocked off
bad the chance to arise upon his hind
legs and let the welkin know that
two ball clubs represented the city
of New York.
In this one great inning. 12 Giants
came to bat, scored eight runs, pum-
meled out eight hits, broke three
world's series records, drove two Yan
kee pitchers off the reservation, won
their first ball game, got back their
morale, and promptly became Import
ant factors where before they had
been supers overshadowed by a clus
ter of stars.
Revenge la Obtained.
In this weird, ' fantastic Inning,
opened by the immortal Frank Frisch,
with his batting average of .700, the
aroused Giants got back in 20 min
utes, enough revenge to cover their
first two disastrous runless days.
They annihilated both Jack Qulnn
and Rip Collins with a ferocity of at
tack that was not to be denied. And
once they were under way the clear,
untrammeled, strident voice of the
Giant rooter was something well
worth hearing, for, he, too. had been
waiting overtime for this great
chance.
No wonder tie put a hop to his bark.
For among past records broken he
aw Frisch score twice In this single
spasm. Young made a double and a
triple in the same frame, and eigni
men cross the plate for a three-ply
record harvest insofar as any post
season stands Involved.
The Giants, by soaking Shawkey,
Qulnn, Collins and Rogers for 20 hits.
N beat the Yankees, 13 to 5. using their
bats almost exclusively for this pur
pose. Yankee Defense Strong.
It was all a matter of Giant strength
at the bat and Yankee weakness in
the box. for in spite of the collapse
of their pitching caravan, the Yankee
defense afield held up Its stonewall
balance of the first two days, unwav
ering, undaunted, unbroken and still
on top of a gallant Job.
When the pitching goes to Gehenna
the remainder of the team generally
heada In the same direction, but on
this occasion the steadfast Yanks re
fused to be stampeded, closing out
124 accepted chances for the series
without a misplay up to date.
In addition to coming back with a
rabid vengeance, the Giants tossed
another bombshell into hostile ranks

Son of Anastasia to Tako Xenla of
Russia as Bride Marriage
to Require Two Bays.
PARIS, Oct. 7. (By the Associated
Press.) There will be three cere
monies In connection with the mar
riage of William G. Leeds Jr., the 19
year-old son of the late American
"tin-plate king," and Princess Anas
tasla of Greece, to the Princess
Xenla of Russia, also 19 years old,
and daughter of Grand Duke George
Mikhailovltch.
The first1 of the ceremonies will be
the French civil ceremony, which
will be held tomorrow at 3 o'clock
The second ceremony will occur at
the American church of the Holy
Trinity at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
and the third the Russian at the
Russian church at 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Although the Invited guests will
be confined largely to relatives who.
will practically fill the churches, the
ceremonies will see a large gathering
of titled men and women of the old
Russian regime as well as a great
many members of the aristocratic
Greek families. Owing to the nu
merous deaths and other misfortunes
which tho bride's Russian relatives
had in their families since the bolshe
viki came Into power in Russia, the
marriage has been planned with
much simplicity of detail.
It is said that few prospective
bridegrooms have had more difficulty
in getting married than young Leeds.
Every movement had to be referred
for approval to the executors of the
Leeds estate in New York. Nego
tiations have been going on for
several months involving the sending
back and forth across the Atlantic of
numerous legal documents. In add!
tlon Princess Anastasia. mother of
Leeds, while enthusiastic about the
marriage, opposed it taking place for
several years because of the ages of
both the princess and her son. She
finally consented when her son and
Princess Xenla begged to be per
mitted to marry without further
delay.
The Russian ceremony will last
nearly all of Sunday afternoon. It
will be conducted with the picturesque
pomp of the historic Russian church.
Grand Duke Dimitrl Pavlovitch of
Russia will be the witness for his
cousin. Princess Xenia, and Princess
Anastasia and her husband. Prince
Christopher of Greece, will act for
young Leeds.
Scores of costly gifts for the young
couple already have arrived. Mr.
Leeds reached Paris tonight from
London. .
The bridal couple probably will de
part shortly after the ceremony for
southern France, where they will
spend their honeymoon on an auto
mobile tour.

TEXT OF REPLY ANNOUNCED
Sincere-Desire to End Shan
tung Trouble Doubted.
HOPES ARE NOT SATISFIED
Principles In Treaties With For
eign Powers Declared Violated
by Nipponese Offer.
PEKIN, Oct. 7. (By the Associated
Press.) The text of China's reply to
the proposals of the Japanese govern
ment concerning a settlement of the
Shantung controversy was made pub
lic today. It declares that Japan has
advanced no plan for a settlement
which is fundamentally acceptable to
the Chinese government and people
and that the Chinese government feels
that there Is much in the new pro
posals "still incompatible with the
Chinese government's repeated dec
larations, the Chinese people's hopes
and aspirations and the principles laid
down in Chinese treaties with foreign
powers.
It is aided that if the proposals
comprise Japan's final concessions.
they surely inadequately prove the
sincerity of Japan's desire to settle
the question."
Disposition of Note Uncertain.
The note was handed to the Japa
nese minister yesterday by Dr. Yen,
the Chinese foreign minister. The
Japanese minister said at the time
that he received the document in a
purely unofficial capacity that he
would return it to Dr. Yen if It was
unacceptable to Japan. Today at thi
Japanese legation. It was said it had
not been decided whether to forward
the memorandum to Toklo or return
It to Dr. Yen. ,
The text of the memorandum in
part is as follows:
Introduction: Referring to the
Important Shantung question which
is now pending between China and
Japan, China indeed is most desirous
of an early settlement and for the
restitution of her rights and terri
tory. . The reason why China has not
until now been able to 'commence
negotiations with Japan is because
the basis on which Japan claims to
negotiate are all of a nature most
objectionable to the Chinese govern
ment and the Chinese people or are
such as they have never recognised.
Plan Held Innceeptable.
"Furthermore, regarding the Shan
tung question, although Japan has
made many vague declarations, she

VICE FORECAST.
Tests of New 16-Inch Rifle and
. Barbett Carriage Significant,
Say Army Experts.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUNDS,
Md., Oct 7. Eventual elimination of
the disappearing gun carriage, for
more than a decade an outstanding
feature of American coast defenses.
was forecast by army experts today
as a result of the initial test here of
a 16-inch. 50-caliber rifle mounted
on a "barbette" carriage. While
weather conditions in lower Chesa
peake bay prevented the carrying out
of complete tests, military and civil
ian technicians who observed the
trials agreed that the elements of
Increased range and augmented pro
tection for the gun servers made the
new mount far superior to that now
extensively used. The barbette mount
permits a maximum elevation of the
piece to 6S degrees, the heavy steel
shield and apron at the same time
affording material protection to the
crew from aerial bombers and ob
servers.
With a heavy haxe reported' over
the bay, officers in charge of the pro
gramme decided to postpone the tests
for range, since the 2.100-pound pro
jectile - would have been sent into
waters commonly traversed by ship
ping craft. With an elevation far
short of the maximum, however, the
new gun planted one of the steel
shells more than 20 miles away.
As soon as more complete tests can
be had, it was said, army officials
are prepared to recommend the plac
ing of a contract for 14 of the new
rifles. These would be installed at
strategic points along the coast, and,
in case of battery construction, would
be widely separated so that offen
sive attack from sea or air would
have to be concentrated on one at
time.
