take up the Giants' task on the field this
afternoon a tho visitors' club believe
they have the scries as eoml as won..
"We have Indian sign .on tho
Yanks," said Frank Frisch, the Giants'
middle sucker, "and I think the Yanks
are beginning to think so. They have
never won a series from tho Giants, iou
know psychology plays an important
.part in the old iraine."
Tho Yankees threw off the gloom this
afternoon of their first defeat and hoped
to entente from the batting slump that
ban gried them since the beginning of
the last five games of the. American
Lea cue sruson.
"Old Man Psychology ain't flaying
in this series," said Babe Uuth, talking
at the elub house vnbout Indian signs,
"When I see him pinch hitting for me
, or out there Bonding them past the bat

name is not in the list of eligible play

Huggiiis brought his players on the
fiel dearly 'and put tliem tnrougn a long
bntting practice. The mite manager said
lila lluli would nrobnblv start hitting on
ull cylinders at once flml there would be
a hatting orgy of unrestrained violence.
Some thirty-odd thousand folks came
out, to see the sport but the early rush

NEW YORK, Oct. 5. - Christy
(Big Six) Matthewson, perhaps' the
greatest and best loved pitcher in base
ball, was at the opening world series
games. His great, slow moving iraine
shook with excitement during the tense
niements of the game. It was his first
glimpse of a world" scries since he went
to Sueramio Lake, N. Y., several years
ago, to fight for .bis life. Matty ap
neared well. He Aaid be felt fine.
Several rows behind Matthewson sat
Jack lMnpsey, world heavyweight box-
iuir champion-. JacK w somewnai or a
fan. He enjoyed the game but was dis
aimointed when JJuth failed to make a
home ruu. "I like to see Babe clout
. cm," : aid Jack. '. ."Clouting, is my
business, too, you know."
An hour before game tune a woman
of some 250 pounds verdupois squeez
ed through a crowded aisle to a seat
she had reserved. Arriving there she
became indignant. '
"Why on earth," she asked, "didn't
they fix this scat for we us they do
every year. Get the head usher im
mediately. " ' "
Tho head Usher tame, recognized the
lady and ordered one of tho arms of
. the seat ' removed. AVhercupon the
lady amiled, sat down and bought a
; bag of peanuts.
The bond played on.
i . Besides tho 36,514 persons who paid
to boo the game there were some U,000
who didn't pay. The "dead heads'?
included newspapermen, photographers,
soda water and "hot dog" .venders,
policemen, firemen, musicians, messen
gers, telegraph operators. and park at
tendants. So about 40,000 persons
actually were in-the stadium.
Ruth swung viciously thrice in the
first inning and never touched the ball,
but for all that he demonstrated that
bis Intentions aren't altogether to hit
home ruus. With the outfielders play
ing back uguinst the bleachers, there
was a big hole between the inner and
' outer defense and Ruth probably - real
ized this, twieo choking his bat in an
attempt to cop the' ball into vacant
area. - . . ' , ,

FIRES RAGING OVER
AREA 100 MILES SQUARE
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 5. Over an
area of more than 100 miles square, scat
tered forest fires blazed today in north
ern Minnesota, awhile forestry and state
military officers made efforts to subdue
them and hopefully scanned the skies
for forecasts of. rain.
Many small settlements are threatened
by the flames. Several are reported vir
tually wnied out, but while the present
menace has been of long duration, there
have been no casualties and none are
looked for unless the wind attains excep
tional Telocity.
For tho moment, attention mis turned
from the iron ranges north of Duluth to
the Cuyiiua range in Crow 'Wing county,
where the little village of Manganese
felt the threat of the fires late yesterday.
More than 100 men were on duty in that
area today and they hoped to hold back
the flames even if the wind should rise
iagam.

THINK ARMISTICE TO
CLEAR WAY FOR PEACE
i HAS BEEN SETTLED
Question Of Thrace Is One
That Is Giving Trouble Now
Attitude Of Greek Army
Is To Be Reckoned With.
LONDON, Oct! 5. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The reports of the first
two days' proceedings of the allied gen
erals' conference ah the Turkish ua-.
tiouafistss at Mudauia have .produced a
sanguine feeling here, some believing
that an armistice clearing the 'way for a
peace' runfcrvu.ee. i ulread.y fissured.
It 'wus cwn reported yesterday that
a protocol establishing nu armistice hud
been uctually signed, but authentic con
firmation of this is lacking. The latest
inforijiation to the Associated Press, con
tained iu ii dispatch which left Constan
tinople shortly' before midnight, was to
the effect that, notwithstanding the gen
erally hopeful status of the situation,
the question of Thrace was still Ibarring
the way to settlement.
While the allies have agreed to turn
over Thrace to the Turkish army in
thirty. days, thej'ijiave not acceded to
the Turks' reqquest that tlie western line
of the' Maritza ' river be occupied by
allied troops as protection against a
Greek flank attack on the Turkish occu
pying army.
The determined attitude of tho Greek
army and th new Athens government is
also to be reckoned with. Colonel Plas- proximately twice as much for Lynch
tras, chief Greek delegate, mude it plain burg, the ouly Virginia city getting the
to the other conferees that the Greek
military leaders wore determined to re
sist every" attempt to restore Turkish
sovereignty over Oriental Thrace.
The Times, commenting w-ith satisfae-
tion on the early proceedings of the
ference, emphasizes the view that the
only foundation upon which a stable set
tlement can- be erected and preserved is
the unity of purpose aud action which
inspired the allied joint note to the An
gora government.' . ' v '
General Nider has been appointed
eommander-in-chief of the Greek army.
The goverhment. hoes further to re
inforce the army through tlie popular
acll for volunteers for servico until
the end of the conflict with Turkey, is
sued by the minister of war yesterday.
Greece feels that her readiness to de
fend Thrace must be taken into account
both in . arranging the armistice and
later at the peace conference.

LONDON, Oct. 5. (By The As

Veuizelos, of Greece, who has lieen ac

On his return to bis hotel he seemed
depressed but decline'! to .discuss the
situation for publication.
It is understood the foreign office,"180 several persons wno nau oeeu me

not change her determination to request

by Greek troops. M. Veniaieloa said
he might go to Paris Saturday.

PARIS, Oct. 5. (By the Associated

by the conference of allied and Turkish !
military leaders at Mudauia, and will be

ATHENS, Oct.1 5. (By The As
sociated Press). Con sternation was
caused here by a Constantinople wireless
message picked up late last night by
a local station, purporting to give the
armistice conditions arranged by the
Turks and tlie Allies at the Mudania,
conference.
V The conditions outlned n the mes
sage incluethe occupation of eastern
Thrace by Allied forces and Turkish
gendarmes up to the line of the river
Maritza and evaebntion of the province
within ten days by the Greek army,
failing which the Allied fleets would
blockade Greece.
Government officials declare the
Greek delegates have not yet had an
opportunity ' to present their , views at
Mudania, and efforts to confirm the
above report are being made.
It is understood that the officials
are considering an appeal to tho Unit
ed States for assistance in obtaining
a jut solution of the Thracian , ques
tion. .
Tho Mudania conference is being
watched by the Greeks with mingled
fears nnd hopes. To save Tbrace, de

TAR HEEL CO-OPERATIVES
MADE GOOD SHO'X'G
Marketing Association Has
Helped Hold Price Up Re
markably Well Attract
Attention In New York.
RALEIGH, Ocl. 5. Reports from the
cotton belt indicate that the recent dry
weather has resulted in the early ma
turity of the crop and that it is now
moving in largo volume. Though thu
price dropped off at the beginning of
the rush season, it has been holdiug up
remurkably well in view of the recent
threats of war in Europe.
, Tho strength of tho market is attrib
uted to the admitted shortness;; of the
crop und tho fine showim? madb bj the
ch-opcrativo selling movement in the
South. There is u distinct feeling of
optimism and it is believed that the
prices will be much better when the
pressure from the dumping of distress
cotton js removed.
The co-operatives are n new factor in
the market this year and that they are
to be a considerable factor is indicated
by the fact that the North Carolina
Cotton Growers' Co-operative Associa
tion recived around two thousand bales
daily during the past week with every.
Uidicatiort for greatly increased receipts
this week. .
The Tar neel co-operatives alrcadr
have enough cotton on hand to go into
the markets of the world with a fairly
respectable showing, und it has hardly
begun operations. And it is just one of
nine southern stute organizatioun en
gaged iu tlie co-operative selling of cot-
(ton..
The co-operatives have arranged ,to.
fully protect mortgages of cotton and
already much mortgaged cotton is bciuif
delivered to the association. The asso-
jeiation management believes that one of
(the greatest services the co-operatives
can render is to prevent the dumping of
distress cotton during the rush season.
The strength of the North Carolina)
co-operatives has attracted national at
tention, and recently the New York
Times and the New York Journal of
Commerce have carried articles giving
nn account of what is being done in this
state. Other Nw York papers carrying
articles on the co-opertives have been.
