I walked out of this one "in the 7th inning: Mr. Hugglna had Just begun calling on some of his v anonymous pitchers and it looked like they might get ' the side , out before it was time to start to day's game.

When the game smarted the pitchers was Fred ' Toney and Bob Shawkey.. Tony began his big league career with the cubs ,and ho stopped at Kvansville, Ind., on the spring trip and outside the Elks temple they was an iron hitch ing post built into the -.cement walk. One morning Fred picked up the hitch- ing post and hit Heine Zimmerman over the head with it. This was Just a prank on Freds part and of course nobody .was.' hurt. But -playing with two iron hitching posts and pitching worlds series ball games is two different things. When Fred had been in there a little over two innings, McGraw decided that he had had enough.. The Yankees had four runs, but that wasn't endugh. 8 HAWKEY STILL AT SEA Bob Shawkey was in the navy dur ing the war and seems to be- still at . sea. Barnes started the Giants part of the third with a base hit Burns filed out and Bancroft singled. Shaw key then passed Kelly to get Meusel, but just when his strategy might of begun to show results. Uuggins took him out . With an even start of four runs each Jess Barnes and Jack Quinn set out to have a pitchers battle, or as some call it, a duel of stab artists.

Oct. 8, Abe Evans, con yicted murderer of James Do ran in this city just four weeks ago today, was sentenced at 9 o'clock this morning by Circuit Judge Fred W. Wilson to be hanged. The date of execution was set for Fri day, December 2. and Sheriff Levi Chrisman was directed to take the con demned man to the state prison at Sa lem within 20 days. With the same remarkable calmness which characterized his attitude through out the trial, which was ended last Wednesday morning. Evans heard the sentence condemning him to death. Evans responded that he had noth ing to say when the court asked him for a statement He-stood up, almost stol idly, as Judge Wilson ordered the ver dict of the jury, condemning him to die. Attorney John U Gavin of The Dalles at once served informal notice of appeal to the state supreme court, and the necessary filings will be- made within 10 days, Gavin said. Mrs. Evans was in the courthouse when her husband was sentenced but on the advice of the attorneys remained out or tne courtroom. Early Snowstorm t i . a DEATH SENTENCE ; Swipes Michigan i i Lansina.

With Busses Competition of automobile bus lines operating between Portland and Salem will be met by the Oregon Electric railway, which will reduce Its rates to conform with this mod; of transporta tion October 21. - Announcement to this ieffect was made today by W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the S. P. A &, with which, the Oregon Electric is affiliated. The cut in rates amounts- to as much as 25 per cent and is applicable to round trips only. Under these new tariffs the round trip fare to Salem, on a three-day limit tick et, will be S3. At present the double local fare charge for the round trip is $1.97 and the special one-day round trip rate is $3.40. j & P. WILL NOT CUT! To Wood bum the new three-day round trip rate will be $2.10, as against a pres ent double local charge of $2.81 and a special dally round trip rate of $2.40. In termediate stations bejtween Portland and Salem will '.ikewlni be affected in the reduction. ; t -Skinner said today that the railroad was here to stay and could not get away, so the only thing for the Oregon Electric- to do was at least; make as fair a bid for the business as possible. The new rates will equalize the bus and pas senger rates via the Oregon Electric be tween Portland and Salem. The Southern Pacific! will not Join in the fare reduction, according to decision reached by John M. Scott, general pas senger agent of the line. The Southern Pacific electric and steam . lines also serve Salem and some jof tne other val ley points. Scott said j that a reduction by the Southern - Pacific would neces sitate a cut in all through rates via the Southern Pacific to California points. KO FIGHT INTENDED Officials of the Auto 'Transit company, which controls a majority of the auto mobile buses operating to' Salem and ine otherr valley points,.! announced this morning that the buseaj were Hot seeking to fight the railroads iand that it was hardly likely that they would cut tne rate 'set by the Oregon; Electric. When Skinner made, the announce-7 ment that the rates would be cut he said that he would "use the best Judgment" in making further corn petition if the bus lines cut the new rail rate. On the Forest Grove branch a three day limit ticket at the same rate as the present one day limit ticket will be sold beginning at the same date as the Sa lem fare cut takes place. Although the special one-day round trip rate has been in effect for a long time it has been Ineffective, as most passengers wish to mike a trip of at least two days when going to the valley cities. j A comparison of the present one-day round trip rates and the new three-day round trip rates follows : One-IVay Jfew 8-Day Between Portland Round-Trip Hound-Trip and Sate.

The guests tomorrow will include sev eral of the most prominent members of Russian, Greek. American and French society, including Queen Mother Olga.

Evans will be sworn in as cir cuit judge in McCourt's place, and Stanley Myers, - deputy city attorney, will become district attorney for Mult nomah county.

The only immediate change in the district attorney's office will be the naming' of a successor to Earl Bernard, who today handed In his resignation as deputy and announced that he would: become associated with " the" hW firm of Collier & Collier.

"In Washington they have had a good many cases of fraud in the appli cation of the law. Real estate men and veterans themselves have been bunked by the bunko men. I am going to do everything possible to see that such cases are kept to a minimum." Bernard has been in the district at- torney's office for four years, previous to which he was in private practice in Portland for three years, following his graduation from the University of Ore gon law school. During the first year he was in the office, John Collier was chief deputy and the two worked to gether on several murder cases. Several more changes may be ex pected within a week or two, accord ing to Myers, but he offered no inkling of what they would be. - Justice McCourt was sworn into office early this week In the governor's office at Salem. He was at his office here today to clean up on stray matters of business and say good-bye to court followers.
