ATHLETICS ARE WORLD 'GHmNIPIONS
MacDonald's Sincerity.
Convict and Canary.
Cyclone On the Sun. -We
Need Twelve Fingers.
(Copyright by King Features

On Friday millions that hud
read iibout the shot lieurd
round the world, on the radio
heard Ramsay MacUonald 's
speech on peace, also heard
around the world.
In 50 years no finer address
lias been heard in America.
Karnest, simple, sincere, it car
ried conviction to the minds of
millions here and in countries
ni-oss the oceans.
Horn in poverty, self-educat-sfd,
begiimiiift life as a Scotch
Korkiimn, Mr. MacDonald has
achieved a perfect ion of style
and milliner altogether adinir--able.
I l is achievement is recom-
mended to those that lament
1 lie hick'of "college education"
and other opportunities.
Mne.Donald "was educated
on the Bible and Robert
Burns,'.' enough education for
any man willing to read his
tory, study and think.
Mr. MacDonald emphasized,
for his government, as Secre
tary Stiinson has done, for
America, that Britain and the
United States have entered into
no alliance as against other na
tions, open or secret. They
have solemnly declared against
..,.,.. .... n ............ .P c.nfl!,wr
Questions arising among- civil-
ized nations, and invite the na
tions of the world to join in
that declaration.
It is long since individuals
in English-speaking countries
r.bandoned the duel, between in
dividuals, in settling points of
honor, or other disagreements.
It is not too much to hope
that national dueling will also
be abandoned. The visit of
liamsay MacDonald m cans
much for future peace. The
two most powerful countries in
the world have made a decla
ration more binding upon their
honor than any diplomacy
made honor questions could
possibly be.
i Nevertheless, while MaeDon
A,'ild and Hoover talked in Wash
ington, there were guards about
the "White House, police in the
streets.
Civilized nations must have
their guards and their police,

SHI 1.12 PAI1K, Philadelphia, Oct.
14. (fl-Tho 1'hlladvlphla Ath
letics, with a dramatic ninth in
ning rally, today won .the world
championship by beating the Chi
muko Cubs, 3 to 2, In the fifth and
deciding gp.me, played with the
president and Airs. Hoover as spec
tators. -
The Athletics snatched another
seemingly certain victory from de
feat by scoring all three of their
runs in the ninth inning after one
was out and after they had been
held to two' hits for eight innig.s
by Pat Malone. ;
With Mam Bishop on first, after
singling, George (Mule) Hass hit
the first pitch over the right field
wall for his second home-run In
successive games, tying the score.
AI Simmons doubled and scored
the winning run on Aliller's two
base blow - to the scoreboard in
right center, after Jimmy Fpxx had
been purposely passed.
The Cubs drove the hero of the
A's first Victory, Howard Ehmke,
put Of the-iu. J.nvtle, fourth" In-,
nine when ali their runs were
scored, but the National league
champions were s:opped cold by
George (Rube)' Walberg, south
paw, who was credited with the
deciding victory.
Fourth for Slack.
The Athletics, winning the series
by four games to one, captured
the world's championship for the
fourth time In six attempts under
the leadership of their 67-year-old
pilot. Connie Alack, who thereby
set a new world's record. .
John ATcCiraw and Miller Hug
gins each won three world's series.
It was the third successive vic
tory for the forces of American
league, who now have achieved the
remarkable run of 12 games won
out of the last 13 In world's series
competition.
The comeback of the Athletics
today was as dramatic and unex
pected as the thriller they put on
Saturday when they scored 10 runs
In the seventh, to overthrow the
Cubs. Not as much scoring punch
was- needed this afternoon, but It
was sufficient and might have been
going on yet but for the fact that
only one run was needed when
lliqff Miller "came up. spoiled the
Cub strategy In passing Foxx and
crashed out the hit that meant a
difference of nround $50,000 in
the players' split.
The nresident and Airs. Hoover
ijoined In the applause as the Ath
letics broke through the last Cub
defense, leaving immediately after
the game while another crowd of

If a telegraphic invitation sent

accepted, Aledford will be favored
by a visit of the plane "Spirit of

The telegram, addressed to S. A.

Is as follows: Extend to you and
your crew n cordjfil Invitation to
stop on Aledford's ne.w field on
your flight from Seattle to San

Conquest of the Atlantic may

Moscow to America flight of the
plane, "Land of the Soviets," S.
A. Shestakov, commander and
chief pilot of the expedition re
vealed today as preparations were
being made to convert the ship
from a sea to a land plane.
, Worn out hyt the thousand-mllo
flight from" Waterfall "Alaska, "lei
Seattle, during which their plane
buffeted a 35-mile nn hour head
wind, the Russian fliers were em
phatic In their desire to finish
their round the world Journey by
air, instead of the more prosaic
steamer and railroad route. The
hop from Waterfall took exactly
10 hours and 10 minutes. Navi
gator Doris V- Steiifgov said. The
plane glided Into the nlr nt Water
fall at 7:20 ,a. m., Pacific stand
ard time and reached here at
5:30 p. m. i
Alost of the way the ship skip
ped over the waves at an eleva
tion of only 15 feet becauso of
the fog and headwinds. The max
imum elevation was less than a
thousand feet. The plane skirted
the shore, thereby increasing the
distance almost twice the normal
airline between their starting point
and Seattle.
Work was to heVln early today
on the removal of the pontoons
and the substitution of land gear.
A survey of the nrotors was ex
pected to determine whether their
stop here would be more than
three days before the flight to San
Francisco.

had refused to permit Dr. Sterling
Huffin. whom the court had ap
pointed to exantlne him to ascer
tain the cause of the Illness.

PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 14. (TP)
A band of ghouls which ulready
have robbed, a grave of one body
and several Indian graves of
beaded relies and ancient wea
pons, leaving human bones strewn
about burial groundH, were being
sought throughout Oregon today,
arter Alultnomah and Umatilla

and buried In Douglas cemetery at
Trout dale. Ore., Multnomah coun
ty, was removed from her grave
during the past two days after the
casket top had been shuttered. The
grave . had been refilled partinlly.
Relatives of Airs. Alilsted could
give, authorities no reason for the
disinterment. They suld no Jew
elry had noun left on the body.
Records Indicated the death cer
tificate was in the usual form.
The fact that ghoulish netivlties
on Indian burial grounds In Uma
tilla county had been conducted
about the same time Airs. Alilsted's
body was removed puzzled au
thorities. Major Omar Rabcock,
superintendent of the lm:tllla

four graves of J mi inn warriors
opened, bones scattered about, and
weapons and other articles hurled
with tribal Indians missing.
The grave of Tnieqiiut, a Walla-

GRANTS PASS, Oct. 14. (jfP)
Blood and bits of flesh found spat
tered on the wails and celling of
a department store here today be- .
spoke a tragic failure of an attempt
of safecrackers to mow a safe In
the office of the store, : A trail of
blood which led to a back door -and
then through an exit on the
second floor indicated the manner
In which confederates of the in- .
jured or dead robber carried him
from' the building. The safe with
stood the heavy blast.
Police were today checking with
all hospitals and surgeons In south
ern Oregon In an attempt to trace
down the robbers.
One persistent report was that
the Injured man was tossed from -an
automobile on the Pacific high- ,
way leading north. - State police
and city officers had found noth
ing to substantiate this report.
Owners of the store said the safe
contained severul hundred dollars.
. It Ib believed the blast occurred
Saturday night, although' nothing

Find Finger
' A- human .-finger; either blown '
from the hand or crudely cut away,
was found on the floor of a doctor's
office near the Btore today. It Is
believed the physicians' office was
entered Saturday night or Sunday
morning, presumably shortly after
the safe waB blasted.
Medicinal supplies, opiates and
surgery tools were taken from the
cabinets and medicine cases, po
lice reported. '
Investigators said they believed
one or two' others of the robber
gang carried their Injured confed
erate to a nearby alley while en
trance was forced to the physician's
office. The fact that thoy took sur
geon's instrument indicated, it was
thought, that the men planned to
make a desperato attempt to save
the life of their partner, or at least
make It unnecessary to apply tor
