LONG AWAITED

STARTS TODAY
Cubs'and Athletics Come to
Grips in Annual Base
ball Classic
Earnshaw and Root Occupy
Sox; Both Teams are
In Good Shape

Associated Press Sports Editor'
CHICAGO, Oct. 7. (AP) To
the accompaniment of all the tu
mult and shouting that goes with
America's annual baseball carni
Tal, the boys will go out on the
firing line tomorrow to substitute
fast balls and base-hits for ora
tory and argument in the battle
for the 1929 championship of the
world.
The Philadelphia Athletics and
Chicago Cubs, rivals again for the
richest of the game's prices after
a lapse of 19 years, coma to grips
in the opening game, with fair
weather and a spectacular fight
expected from the outset between
two fat. hard-hitting and aggres
sive ball clubs.
Root and Earnshaw
Will .Da. lltching
Unless there., is a last-minute
switch, Charley Root, foremost
flinger of the National league,
will pitch for the Cubs against
big George Earnshaw of the A's
In a struggle between fastball
right banders.
Root was definitely selected to
day by Manager Joe McCarthy as
the opening game choice over Pat
Mitone, another rugged right
bander. Connie Mack, 67-year-old
chieftain of the A's, kept his twirl
ing secrets to himself on arrival
the afternoon with his team but
the experts considered Earnshaw
the logical choice. There wa3,
however, the prospect that Mack
might switch to Robert Moses
Grove, his famous left-hander, or
so far cress up the experts as to
send either old Jack. .Qu Inn or
Howard Ehmke to the box.
Crowd of 50,000 Fans
Will Watch Content
The full-throated roar of 60.
000 fans is expected to resound In
Wrigley field for the opening
game of the series that furnishes
the climax to the greatest base
ball season Chicago has ever
known.
So keen was the enthusiasm
that hundreds of fans were in
line tonight outside the park, pre
pared for the all-night vigil be
fore the bleacher seats go on sale
afaund 8 a. m. tomorrow. Scores
had begun to hold their posts
more than 24-hours before Um
pire Bill Klem, dean of the Na
tional league staff, cries "let s
go" at 1:30 p. m., a Chicagoan oc
cupied the first place in the bleach
er line, with Pittsburgh and
Montreal next represented and the
first woman customer identified
as a tourist from Rensselaer, N. T.
Reserved Seat Are
Completely Sold Out
All reserved seats have been
sold, with speculators hating dif
ficulty doing any substantial bus
iness, even at such fancy prices as
150 for a single game ticket. The
'gate" for the first day, as well
as for the second game here, is
expected to exceed 1200,000 with
a million-dollar series assured if
the issue' goes only to five games.
The best guess is that it will go
six.
Pre-game developments today,
' aside from the inpouring of fans,
officials and notables, centered
chiefly about the late arrival of
the Athletics, the definite selec
tion of Root to pitch for the Cubs
and a -tendency to shorten the
odds which hare made the Amer
. lean League champions from the
start. . (
Wagers, hitherto largely based
on quotations of 7 to 5 on the
A's, dropped to around 6 to 5 with

Education for citizenship in the
schools of the country must be ap
proached In the same scientific
way in which health education had
been w-orked out. If it is to be
successful, Dr. Clyde B. Moore,

county school teachers Monday
afternoon in delivering the prin
cipal address of the day at the
annual institute of teachers on
"Citizenship Through Education."
Dr. Moore pointed out how
health education is now on a prac
tical basis, rather than on the ab
stract one which characterized
health education not so many
years ago, and asserted that rela

Vigilant Protecting In- '

The absorbing spectacle of the
public service commission reach
ing forth its mighty arm to save

cost of two buckets of paint, was
observed by Salem's city council
Monday night when Fred A. Wil
liams, city attorney, reported the
receipt of an order amending the
commission's previous ruling
anent the grade crossing on Mar
ket street.
As a result of the hearing July
23 into the dangers of this cross
ing, the commission September 12
issued an order requiring the city
to put up warning discs along the
street at a distance of 300 feet
on each side of the crossing, and
this has been done, Mr. Williams
said.
The order also required the
Southern Pacific to paint advance
warning signs on the street pave
ment, opposite these discs. Ap
parently the company objected to
this, with the result that the com
mission, in its substitute order re
ceived by the city attorney Mon
day, orders the city to provide
these signs also.

The inquiry began with the Issu

nude.
Corpse Found Buried
With Seven Puppies
The girl's body was discovered
beneath flooring at Rhoads'
home, buried In a casket which
lay beside another containing re
mains of seven puppies, held sa
cred by the order.
Mrs. Rhoads cofessed the body
had been concealed for three
years after the girl's death of
diphtheria, but objected to police
interference. She said the girl
would arise, and the time of her
resurrection was near.
The fraud complaints were

Heart Balm Suit Thrown out
Of Court for Lack of
Evidence
SEATTLE. Oct. 7. (AP)
Mrs. Minnie E. Kennedy, mother
of Almee Semple McPherson,
stood victorious tonight in the
$50,000 breach of promise suit
brought by the Rev. H. H. Clark
as the result of the granting by
Superior Judge J. T. Ronald to
day of a defense motion for non
suit. The action was dismissed,
Judge Ronald said, because of
"lack of evidence" and the fact
that the plaintiff had written a
letter to Miss Kay Burbeck, Mrs.
Kennedy's companion, telling her
of his acquaintance with the evan
gelist, "a thing which she had
specifically told him not to do."
The Judge held that his action in
writing the letter "Justified" Mrs.
Kennedy in not marrying Clark.
The former minister had sought
damages from Mrs. Kennedy, al
leging she failed to marry him as
promised, leaving him "destitute"
and "morally unfit" to carry on
his work.
The non-suit motion was made
Friday when the plaintiff had
rested his case. Clark was the
chief, witness during the entire
case.
Another letter written by Clark
to Mrs. Kennedy, asking for a
$200 loan was also referred to by
the Judge in decision. The de
fense had charged that Clark's
promise In the letter to "fade out
of the picture," if given the mon
ey, constituted blackmail.
The former minister's attorney,
Gordon McGauvran, said he was
considering an appeal to the state
supreme court.
