SHI HE PARK, Philadelphia, Oct. 11. (P) With Rogers Hornsby and Kikl Cuyler emerging from their famous batting slump to drive across all their runs, the Chicago Cubs staged a comeback to score their fitst world's series win to day iu the third game. The final tally was 3 to 1, with Guy Bush getting the pitching de cision over George Kurnshaw, who started his second straight game and struck out 10 men to Increase the Cub strike-out total to SO for the series. The Athletics still lead by two games to one. The fourth game will be played at Shlbe park to morrow. The official paid attendance was announced as only 29,921,'the small est crowd that lias seen a world series game in nine years. This was a sharp knockdown from, club KOrjNSBY estimates of nearly 40.000, for there seemed few bare spaces in the stands. The receipts were 1140,915, more than $75,000 below either game at Chicago. The money was divided on a basis of fT6.O4O.-0 to players, $14, - 0(11.50 to advisory council and $50.- 693.40 to the contending clubs and leagues.

LOIR FREIGHT FOR FRUIT 10 ORE PROBABLE Southern Pacific Working On Plans to Aid Blue Ledge Shipments to Ta- coma Smelter .Export . Fruit Also to Benefit. Steps have been taken by the Southern Pacific Railway company for the establishment of a lower rate op copper ore between tbiB city and Tacoma, site of a smel ter. Securing of the rate, which must be made In connection with other ruilroads, will mean that the copper from the Blue Iedge mlno, now under option for operation by the Consolidated Copper company, can be shipped on a profitable basis. A force of 15 or 20 men Is now engaged in "picking the dump" at i "e B'e I-edge mine nnd four cars ; are ready for shipment. As soon as operations are started In the mine proper, employment will he furnished to six or seven times that many workers. The lessees of tho mine liavo re quested the county court to im prove a five-mile stretch of road on the Oregon side of the line so that the copper ore can be hauled speedily and without the heavy trucks doing fancy maneuvering at a curve with a 100-foot drop Into 0;the Applegate on one side and the 0 Jagged rocks on the other. The 0 county court has taken the matter under advisement. It Is understood the court favors expenditures that produce payrolls hut Is wary of making a heavy road outlay with- 0 out high assurances thut It will be 0 I used and that the traffic will Justiry 0 .the expenditure. 0 ! Traffic officials of the Southern 0 j Pacific ore expected to come to O'this city at an early date to ill: cuss tho export fruit rate. Th railroad made a substantial conces sion when the offer was made to put a 35-cent rate into effect No vember 15. A railroad Is limited in Its rate adjusting, It Is pointed out and must exercise care lest it run afoul of discrimination. Adjustment of the question satis faclorily to both sides Is highly probable, If tho 20-year friendly pulley of tho .Southern Pacific to the fruit Industry of this section is an index.

FOR MLS IIHUIALHOLU Forty Per Cent Growth in Three Years for High School Necessitates More Funds Estimate Total Need at $296,127 Board Would Pay Debts First. It was brought out In last night's meeting or the school hoard and citizen's committee that the high school enrollment Increased liiNt year 14 per cent over tho year before. This year Hie In crease was 13.C per cent over that of last year. Tho growth has been 40 per cent In the last three years. Tho enrollment on Octo ber 1st this year was 770 which is expected to be swelled by about 80 additional students in January. The high school Is showing n more rapid growth than the system as a whole. "This," said Superinten dent Hedi-lck, "Is due to two causes. In tho first place a larger per centage of pupils In gcnerul are going to high school now than formerly. In the second plnce. more students from the surround ing country are coming into Med rord every year to take their high school work." The school district has rented and equipped three rooms In tho old Methodist church to euro ror overflow from the Junior high school. Two rooms hnve been constructed In the basomont of tho Lincoln school to care for grade children, one of thoso war added a few weeks ago. In tho high school the crowded situa tion at tho beginning of this year wna alleviated by reorganizing tho program somewhat, and starting classes 4fi minutes earlier.

"While it Is true," said Super intendent Hedrlck, "that our bulld inging sltuntlon is not all thnt we could desire, and while patrons and pupilB are Inconvenienced by It, I do not feel that, so fur, tho school program as such Is being Injured In any materlul way. No one Is moro nnxious to get a new nuiiding program under way than the board and myself nnd wo are coming out ror it as soon ns tho financial situation In tho district Is such to make it ndvlsiible.

This, with tho natural growth of tho district, I think, will put us In a position to go in ono more year, lly this I do not meun to imply that tho board will actually recommend thut a bond issue will bo floated at that time.

(Continued on 1'ugo Seven) Special Committee Favors Provision in Telephone Franchise, Terminating Same Whenever Reason able Improvements De- " manded By Council Are Not Made. ir the present plans of the tele phone committee appointed by Mayor A. W. Pipes nio carrlud out, the city council will ask that a provision bo added tn tlie present 10-year franchise which will auto matically terminate that frtuiehlsu whenever tho Home Tulephone company refuses to improvo Its service in accordance with "reas onable" demands of tho city coun cil. According to the proponents of the uniendment, such a provision would protect the people of the city throughout the life of the franchise; nnd, on the other hand, would not work any hardship on the telephone company as long ns It continued to give the quality of service the people of Modford want and are entitled to. It. A. Hammond, local munager, refused to make any comment upon this action, hut Btilil he would re fer the same to his superiors at the heuilquurters of the company in Seattle. Some members of tho city coun cil did not believe such a provi sion would be accepted by the com pany as it would render the tenure of their franchise too uncertain; nnd also, if effective, virtually transfer regulation of the telephone company from the state public ser vice commission to the city coun cil. Several members of the council, however, approved of trying to se cure such an agreement' on the ground that, even It It failed, It might lend to some understanding which would result In a betterliig of the telephone service, mi 'a whole. The resolutions In full follow: "To A. W. Pipes, Mayor: "Your committee, heretofore ap pointed to consider the proposed franchise to the Home Telephone & Telegraph Company of Southern Oregon, makes the following rec ommendatlons: "(1) We believe that the com pany Is an Oregon corporation, and we suggest that after the name of the corporation there be Inserted tho words, 'an Oregon corporation.' "(2) We also suggest the nddlng of two additional sections,' 17 nnd K. No. 17 prevonta the franchise from being assigned without the consent of the city. The city ought to have the iiower to pass upon tho question as to who shall operate under the franchise. We believe that the company Bhould undertake, to give good service, and also that the city should retain power to compel such service, and so havo drawn section 18, herewith submitted, to accomplish these pur poses. "Section 17. The franchise here in granted shall not be sold, as signed, transferred or conveyed unless such sale, assignment or transfer shall have first been ap proved by ordinance of the city of Medford authorizing such transfer. "Section 18. The franchise here in granted Is granted upon the con dition that the grantee, Its succes sors in Interest nnd assigns, shall at all times during the continuance of such franchise, furnish to the city of Medford, nnd to the tele phone company's subscribers and to the lawrul tmers of Its tele phones, good and adequate tele phone service, local, suburban and long distance; that the city of Mod ford may, from lime to time, by or dinance or resolution, require tho compnny operating under this franchise, to do whatever Is reas onably necessary to so furnish said service. And shall have the right during the term of llils franchise, by such ordinance or resolution, from time to time to Impose such reasonable conditions and to mnke such requirements of tho owner nnd (or) operator under this fran chise, as In tho Judgment of the council Bhall ho necessary to so provide such service. And the con tinuance of this franchise during Its 10-ycnr period shall he, and Is, dependent upon compliance by the grantee, Its successors in Interest or assigns, with the requirements of this action. And a failure to, within a reasonable time after the passage nf any bucIi ordlnnnceft nnd (or) resolutions, comply there with, shall In Itself terminate the franchise herein granted." SAI.KM.
