ALL AT SEA
By Ring- Lirdncn.
New York,- Oct. j!. 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. The fans
who was betting
Thursday night that
the Giants would not
get a run. daring the
series are now of
fering even money
that theyr wont get
more tkan 100.
Jk'?l.'Xf .After the first two
fi i ft -i jkI s-aines McOraws bat
UW?Jrw ' ters claimed that
the reason ' they
couldn't hit was on
account of the background in oenter
, field- The scenery was just the same
Thursday but the boys alnt squawking
no more.
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. This
lasted till the Giants half of the 7th

TAKEN STOLIDLY
The Dalles. 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.

Tariffs Between Portland and
Salem Reduced 25 Per Cent
on Round Trips Only; Action
Taken to Compete! 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

round trip rates and the new three-day

Russia was performed here today.
li was the civil ceremony. Two church
weddtngs will take place tomorrow, the
first in the American church at 2:30 p.
m. and the second in the Russian church
at 2 p. m.
Today's ceremony, which was per
formed in the registry office, was very
Informal. There were no invited guests.
Prince Christopher of Greece, stepfather
of the bridegroom, was the witness in
behalf of young Leeds and Grand Duke
Dimitri Pavlovitch of Russia Was the
bride's witness.
The princess wore mourning today
in respect for her father. Grand Duke
Mikhailovitch, who was killed by Bol-
shevikL At the religious ceremonies to
morrow, however, the will be attired in
the picturesque Russian 'bridal costume.
The guests tomorrow will include sev
eral of the most prominent members
of Russian, Greek. American and
French society, including Queen Mother
Olga. No invitations have been issued
to French officialdom, Christopher's
master of court explaining:
"France does not recognize King Con-
stantlne. Hence we are here only . by
sufferance."
A reception will be held tomorrow at
the Rita hotel, where young Leeds has
been staying with his mother, who has
practically recovered from her recent
ilinesa
This afternoon former Circuit Judge
John McCourt will go to Salem to as
sume his position of successor to Associ
ate Justice Charles A. Johns of the
supreme court; District Attorney Wal
ter H. 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 - changes will be made quietly,
leaving hardly- a ripple' in the circuit
court ahd the district attorney's office.
Evans will keep the same bailiffs and
court reporter who were employed by
McCourt. 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.
"Bernard proved an excellent deputy,"
stated Myers today, 'and the office is
losing a ' good prosecutor. I will an
nounce his successor Monday. I'm going
to appoint an ex-service man, whoso
special duty will be to handle cases
growing out of the Oregon bonus law.
"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.
Evans returned this morning from
Curry county, where he has been hunt
ing deer - for the last two weeks. A.
M. Evans and Harry Schoof will be
his bailiffs and Captain Cloyd D. Ranch
his court reporter.
