Page Eight The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Friday, October 7, 1921 DEFEATS STAGGER GIANTS Wrong Dope Misleads Giants, Who Thought Stick Work Only As get of Yankees. Polo Grounds, liew York, Oct. 7 The Yankees have backed the staggering Giants up against the fence in their backyard quarrel lor the world series championship and the Natioual leaguers staked their all today on the big Tennes see mountalner, Fred Toney, to stop the American league cham pions in their rush. The Giants are floundering in a widening hole of two defeats and Manager John McGraw realizes that hole will look like a Colorado canyon unless his minions over come the Yanks inls afternoon. "All of us have been In a bat- tig slump," said the curly "Babe" Kuth in the club house, where he sat assiduously sandpapering his war club, "I understand McGraw has given orders to bis pitchers to work the corners of the plate and , that if they walk me It is all right ; but tbey are not to throw any balls in the groove. If they pass : me to first, how do they figure to stop men from stealing bases?" Giants Dumfounded. The Giants are dumbfounded at the work of the American leaguers on the base paths lor tney nau been told the Yanks never did any pilfering, but- waited to be hit around. "If I weren't so busy trying to get a bit," said Pep Young, the Giants' gardner, "I'd go out and bunt for that bird that spilled that dope on the Yanks." New York has found It could eat Itl lunch and be In time to get seats In the unreserved stands. Tbe fiction that one bad to stand in line all night to get seuts has pased along with that other myth that the Yankees never play inside baseball. Tbe only person who stayed up all night at the Polo Grounds was the night superin tendent, Dan Urouthers, the old time Detroit first baseman and the Babe Kuth of his day. Nick Altrock and Al Schncht of the Washington club did their comedy acts for the amusement of the early arrivals.

The only excavation work in connection with the operation Of the device is the digging of a hole large enough to lower the machine to the required level of the pro jected tunnel. Once set the cur rent is turned on, and the steel drum leaves tbe excavation and starts on its underground journey without causing any disturbance on the surface of the ground. Kenyon Refuses Federal Judgeship Washington, Oct. 7. Senator Kepyon, republican, Iowa, in formed President Harding today that he could not consider at the present time acceptance of the federal judgeship of the northern Iowa district. Yes! WP XT A VP TUPM v jj ua t ji luuiu Philadelphia, Oct. 7. A ma chine which can tunnel under ground in any desired direction, removing the earth In its path and leaving behind a finished conduit with concrete lined walls, is the latest thing in subterranean con struction work. The new device is the invention of Milton It. Sheen, of Philadelphia, and was given its first practical demonstration re cently, when it dug a tunnel un der Fifth and Grange streets here in record time. In four hours the machine con structed eighteen feet eight inches of perfectly linea conduit, fifty two inches In diameter. Its best record in the test was five feet eight Inches of finished tunnel in an hour. Traffic Not Interrupted. The beauty of the invention lies In the fact that any amount of sewer main, water main, and con duit construction can be carried on beneath streets without caus ing any interruption to surface traffic. The machine can construct tun nels up to twelve feet In diameter. Engineers, contractors and offici als connected with the Philadelph ia department of public works pre dict that present day methods of engineering underground will 6e revolutionized with the broad ad option of this device. The machine Itself consists of a steel drum into which Is fitted a revolving cutting head, back of which Is an earth conveyor, and a helical lining constructor. The power is supplied by electricity J from a portable generator. Jap Warship Program Not To Be Delayed Tokio, Oct. 7. Fears that the double-eight battleship program of Japan would be seriously held up by the recent dockyard strikes of Kobe have been dispelled by a recent semi-official statement of the government. Tokio was warn ed when the strikes were at their worst that the Mitsubishi and Ki waasaki dockyards, where they were building parts of the great new fleet, could not be held res ponsible for the delay in the com pletion of the vessels, provided the strikes were not settled immedia tely. The strikes were not settled im mediately, but it is understood now that when they were settled the officials of the companies con cerned were persuaded to give the naval orders precedence over all others if need be, thus making pos- sible the completion of the ships As the cutting head revolves, building there on schedule time. taking and cutting into the-earth Of the five battleships and five in front, the arms of the cutter battle cruisers now building, the throw the earth Into buckets, from battleships Mutsu and Tosa, both which it is carried off on a con- of them under construction at the veyor belt and dumped into cars Yokosuke Naval Yards, will be brought up on tracks laid in the ready for launching in December, finished tube behind the machine.

England has had two disastrous coal strikes since the war ended, and sundry other threats. The South Wales Regional Sur rey committee, a branch of the Ministry of Health, thinks living in depressive conditions, huddled like ants in dirty valleys at the pit mouths has a direct bearing on unrest. They propose to remedy the living conditions and alleviate the unrest by a new housing scheme. "Depressing surroundings and sameness of occupation have a marked effect in causing discon tent and unrest," reads a striking sentence of the report. Onethird of the male population of South Wales is engaged in min ing, the committee finds, and min ing is concentrated in valleys un fitted for housing purposes, with all the serious disadvantages of the coal dust and smoke nuisance and series pollution of rivers. "Housing of miners outside the valley and off the coal measures is therefore, proposed, and the committee suggests fifteen locali ties as centers for grouped hous ing schemes to serve particular val leys or groups of valleys. "It should be built away Sfonr the industrial centers, it should be almost purely residential in character, the residents should be long to different industries, and; the size of the town should be de finitely limited by a permanent agricultural belt within its own boundaries." The committee recommends the immediate development of dormi tory towns at Llantrisant station and Bridgend. The former would be a town of about 30,000 popula tion, under tbe proposed Utopian plans. Methodists Plan Hospital For Portland Forest Grove, Or., Oct. 7. The probability of a large Methodist hospital being constructed in Portland to cost between $300,000 and $375,000 was announced yes terday by Bishop William O. Shep ard, who has worked out a plan with the First Methodist church and the former Wilbur church members to utilize the old Taylor street church property at Third and Taylor streets as a means of financing the project. This property has been ap praised at $130,000, and the plan worked out by Bishop Shepard provides that it shall either be sold or the income from it used toward the erection of the big hos pital. Agreements with all the heirs have been sealed covering any claims they might have had and papers have been drawn up and signed by the bishop and the trustees of the First church whereby it is agreed that that church will deed the property at Third and Taylor streets to the Methodist Episcopal hospital board. Thursday's conference was giv en over mostly to the reports of the district superintendents. S. A. Danford spoke for the Ashland district and E. E. Gilbert for the Salem zone. New officers of the conference were elected with Bishop Shepard presiding. J. C. Spencer of Al bany was elected secretary, Henry T. Atkinson of Portland treasurer, and T. D. Yarns of Springfield, statistical secretin y. 1 BAH f New I Unidentified Man Dead in Newberg Park Newberg, Or., Oct. 7. An un identified man was found dead in a bandstand at the city park early yesterday by V. A. Vincent, New berg merchant. City Marshal Ferguson was called. He direct ed the removal of the body to a local undertaking establishment. Coroner Macy of McMinnville and Dr. Rankin of Newberg examined the body.

The man was about 70 years old and had been seen in Newbere three weeks ago. The name of if Dolan was found on his vest. Canadian quarter was the only money in his pockets.
