Their aspira tions cooled by the frigid breath of a ghost from baseball's graveyard, Miller Huggins' Yankees 'stood today in the shadow of their own tomb.

'The defeat was" the second . the Yankees have suffered in the series. In-the series of 1921 the Giants set a precedent by winning the title after spotting the Yanks to the first two games. . , Long John's pitching , bones were laid to rest last July. Pat Moran, of tne Cincinnati Reds . officiated. ie ttau pronounced John's pitching days over. the dirge -was droned and the baseball ,vorld soon forgot that John Scott had ever lived. "Then some world being communicated from the spirit land and Scott learned that John McGraw of the . Giants needed . pitchers and he. would have them even if .they had to be resurrected. Then the ghost appeared yesterday in 'the pitcher's box. Scott ,put them where the Yankees couldn't see them. Most every living being : is thinking about- Scott today, but the Yankees are thinking of other things. Miller Huggins is trying to forget about him by trying to. win today's game..

NO LIQUOR By the Asosciated Tress. Washingtonfi Oct. 7. Masters of shipping board vessels were ordered today by Chairman Lasker,by direc tion of the president and in accordance with Attorney : General Daugher ty's liojuor opinion to remove and sur render to treasury oficials ail intoxi cating liquors in 'their possession..,. . American territorial waters were construed to indicate those not only within the three-mile limit of conti nental LTnited States, but also those within the same limit of the Philip pines, the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico, the Virginin Islands and Alaska. The law would not apply in the Pan ama canal zone as that zone is spe cifically , exempted by the statute it-' self. So far as American ships are. con cerned the sale or transportation of liquor will cease at ence, or as soon as thess vessels reach their home port?.. In the ease of foreign ship? the decision will become operative as soon as the necessary regulations can be prepared and promulgated by the treasury department. - ; Court action looking to a final de termination , of the application of American dry laws to foreign ships entering American ports was foreseen by both Attorngy General Daugherty and Cliairmon Lasker of. the shiping board. Mr. Daugherty . said he al- . ready had been advised that a case was about to be filed lwrhich would bring the issue to theSuipreme court. Chairman Lasker was of the opin ion that the first move of foreign lines would be to seek an injunction restraining the government from en forcing the law. He said it was rea sonable to supose that the courts would grant such an "injunction with a result that foreign ships would con tinue to arive with liquor on board until these wa3 a final decision by . the highest court. The attorney gen eral said his department would co operate in every effort to expedite a ruling by the Supreme court. Publication of the opinion of the department of justice followed a White 'House conference " to ; which' President Harding: summoned Mr. Daugherty, Secretaries Hughes' and Mellon and Chairman Lasker. Various phases cf the situation were discuss ed, including the posible results of enforcement upon " the international .relations of the United States. , ... High administration officials ex plained there was no course for " the executive branch of . the government except to enforce the law as in terperted by the legaU department.' The interpretation was based upon recent dicisions of the Supreme court in a. case involving the authority" of the United States to interef re' with the transfer, of a liquor cargo from one foreign ship to another' in . an American port- ' '.
