Polo Grounds, New York City, Oct.
6.—The New York Yankees won the
sixth World's Series game here this
afternoon from the New York Giants,
giving them the necessary four vic
tories in the seven game series to
make them the champions of the
world.
It was anybody’s ball game up un
til the ninth ining when the Yankees
unleashed their batting attack, send
ing seven runs across the plate and
Selkirk ended the inning with the
bases full with a long fly to center
that would have been a homer in
most any other ball lot.
The Giants drew first blood in the
first inning, scoring two tallies on
Ott's double after Moore had singled
and Bartell had walked.
The Yanks were not long in even
ing things up. In the third inning,
Selkirk rapped out a long triple and
came home when Powell hit a long
home run.
The champions went ahead and
were never hedged again in the third
with singles by Rolfe and DiMaggio
and Gehrigs long fly. The Yanks con
tinued their attack in the fourth in
ning getting two runs off bingles by
Powell, Lazzeri, Gomez and Rolfe

Duke Power
Suit Before
High Court
Washington, Oct. 6. —(AP) —One of
the major cases facing the new term
of the Supreme Court, opened this
* eek, is that involving the rights of
“ government to provide $2,300,000
in public works funds for the Buz
zard’s Roost power project in Green
wood county, South Carolina.
An important test of the New Deal’s
oower policy, the case involves the
constitutionality of government fin
ancing of publicly-owned utilities.
The Duke Power Company, of
Charlotte, N. C., has appealed from
the decision of the circuit court of
appeals, which upheld the govern
ment, and the court is expected to
set arguments for November 9, a date
agreed upon by opposing counsel.
Before the hearing on the case,
however, the high court is expected
to deride whether other cases involv
ing government loans and grants for
publicly-owned hydro-electric plants
are to be heard simultaneously.
A numb?r of such cases are pend

EXTEND TIME FOR
STATESOIL CROPS
Farmers Have Until Octob
er 31 To Comply With
Regulations
College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 6.
The time for seeding soil-conserving
crops under the J 936 soil-improvement
program has been extended to Oc
tober 31, J. F. Criswell, of State Col
lege, announced today.
The extension was granted in the
east central region, which includes
North Carolina, as a iesult of drought
conditions which have prevailed over
much of the area, he stated.
“After recent rains which have been
pretty general,” Criswell continued,
“we hope that all farmers will take
advantage of this opportunity to
qualify for the maximum payments
possible.
“Soil-conserving crops which may
be sown this month are winter le
gumes such as vetch, Austrian win
ter peas, and clovers.”
He pointed out that growers who
have taken land out of soil-depleting
crops, but who have not sown enough
soil-conserving crops to qualify them
for payment, may now sow conserv
ing crops on fields where depleting
crops were raised earlier in the year.
