The New YorK and Chicago baseball teams will re new thair battle here tomorrow for world honors, with the White Sox the favorite because of their two victories 2 to 1 and 8 to 2, over the Giants Sat urday and Sunday in Chicago. Both at bat and in the field, the White Sox maintained the impressive advantage which they shewed in the opening game. The offensive and defensive methods and play of the American league standard-bearers was far superior to that shown by the New York club, and in no de partment of the national sport did the giants appear to have the edge on their western rivals. Some idea of this superiority is gained from a comparison of the figures of the two games -to date. - The W!hite Sox have scored nine runs fc three for the Giants; 21 hits to 14; which have netted the local club 26 bases to 17 for the Giants, while in stolen bases, the Sox lead four to one. In individual batting honors alone do the New Yorkers have the edge for Robertson, Holke and McCarty have reached the 500 mark in batting, while only two White Sox stick wielders have reach ed or surpassed this standard. John Collins leads all the batters with a percentage of .600 and Joe Jackson is second, 100 points behind his pace making- teammate. There are features of the double victory, which cannot be expressed in figures, and these have been the outstanding elements which have en couraged the adherence of the Chi cago team to believe that ultimate and complete demonstration of their claim regarding the supremacy of the W3hite Sox was but a matter, of ai few days. In field strategy, managerial j shrewdness and individual and collec-; tive dash the men of Rowland have outshone the New York players led by McGraw and it will require a re markable recovery on the part of the eastern team when it reaches its home field to check the Chicago plan in its impervious rush for the championship. BROWNS WIN FROM CARDS; SECOND CONTEST IS A TIE St. Louis 8. The St. Louis Am ericans Sunday took the first game of a double header frcm the St. Louis Nationals by the score of 2 to 0, and the second game was a tie in nine innings.

SUPREME COURT Constitutionnlity of Act Will Be Argued Decem ber 10-Hearst News Case Also Set For Argnment United Shoe Suit to be Heard . Again. APPEAL IS MADE BY HENRY A. PAGE Raleigh, Oct. 28. Following the formal announcement of United States Food Administrator Herbert Hoover of the food pledge campaign to be conducted throughout the country the week of October 20-28, Henry A. Page, food administrator for North Carolina, is preparing to set in motion the entire state-wide organization which is rapidly being perfected. That a ready response from the people of this state may be expected is the firm conviction of Mr. Page, who declares that the great need is to get our people to realize just how vital and necessary is the service asked and just how important it is that no single family or person shall except themselves from the food pro gram. Mr. Page today issued the following statement and appeal to the people of the state: "The most important business of every man, woman and child in Am erica as long as this war lasts is to so adjust their consumption of food as to release the largest amount pos sible of foodstuffs suitable for ex port for the use of our armies in the field and the armies and civilian population of our allies. "By enabling our allies to keep in good 'fighting trim we shall bring the war to a quicker victorious close and save the lives of thousands of our boys, some of whom are even now on French soil with the grim determin ation to see it through. "No really patriotic family will need any urging to follow the sug gestions of the food administration. Certainly there is no mother or sis ter or relative of any of the boys who are offering their lives but will ren der this service at home, and it would be unpartiotic, selfish and brutal for others to refuse. "'Let no person refuse the service requested by the food administration because their part may be small. Little service could be rendered by one soldier m the trenches, but the aggregate service of companies, regiments and divisions will win the war iwith the help of those back home. The failure in the saving and substitution of foodstuffs by one par ticular family might cost just one ex tra life in the trenches and that might be the life of a son or a neighbor's son. "There are 300,000 or more fami lies in North Carolina. During- the food pledge campaign we want the signature of the housewife from ev ery one of those families." The purpose of the food pledge campaign is to reach and enlist as an active part of the food adminis tration every woman who is respon sible for the handling and dispen sing of foods, to secure her signed pledge to observe the rules and requests of the food administration as far as practicable, and to leave with her a kitchen card upon which is printed the definite needs for saving and substitution and sug gestions as to how this may be done together with a statement of the reasons such a course is now necessary. The folod administration realizes that there is no necessity for any one in this country suffering for tood. me proDiem is to economize in the use of those foods which are needed for export and to largely in crease the consumption of those which, because of their perishable or bulky nature, are not suitable for exports. Those that must be saved are wheat, beef, por?, fiats and sugar, for which should be sub stituted fish, poultry, fruits, vege tables, all cereals except wheat and such other foodstuffs as may be available in each locality. HICKORY POSTOFFICE MADE CENTRAL OFFICE The Hickory postoffice has beeu designated by the postmaster gen eral as the central accounting office for the county and all other postbf fices will receive their supplies and make their reports to the local ohi ce. The Hickory office will make its returns to Washington as for merly. The offifces in the county which will make reports here and re ceive supplies are Catawba, Conover, Maiden. Claremont, Newton, Long Island, Sherrills Ford and Monbo. TRADE WITH ENEMY E Py 4 fspocfatpd Pr. Washington. Oct. 8.

Washington, Oct. 8 The supreme court agreed today to review federal decrees which restrain the Interna tional News Service, or Hearst Ser vice, from pirating news from the Associated Press. In order to permit an early decis ion, the supreme court today ad vanced appeals from Minnesota, Ohio and New York, involving the consti tutionality of the draft law, and fixed December 10 as the date for the hearing. The advance was made at the instance of the government. If the suits followed their normal course, they would have been call ed for argument in about 18 months. Among them are Emma Goldman ana Alexander' Berkman, under sentence for obstructing the draft law. The supreme court today agreed to expedite the government's anti trust suit against the United Shoe Manufacturing Company and fixed December 7 as the date for hearing legal arguments. The district court dismissed the suit. The government appealed to the supreme court, which heard argu ments and later ordered arguments to be made. GREEK JUDGES OUSTED BY NEW GOVERNMENT By the Associated Press. Athens. The new government, which succeeded that of King- Con stantine has adopted radical meas ures toward the supreme court, or Areopagos., on the charge of having used its high judicial functions for political ends in protecting the offi cials of the late king, and permit ting the persecution of the Venizelos element. The chief justice, asso ciate chief justice and five associate justices have been summarily re moved, and some sixty judges of courts below the supreme court are similarly displaced. Such a sweep ing overturn of the judiciary has never been known before. The minister "of justice has ex plained to parliament that conditions which were such as to warrant the suspension of the constitutional pro vision giving the judiciary a fixea tenure of office. He referred to the dismissal of the supreme court and other judges as a work of purifica tion, and said it would be continueo. until all those who had taken a hanu in politics were removed. He cited a number of instances in which the harsh treatment of the Venizelists last December resulted from rulings by the courts. BIRTHDAY DINNER Relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. H.
