(Associated Press.)?Win ning their game in the first inning to tie the count for the 1926 series, the St. Louis Cardinals piled up a 10 to 2 score, here today that more than counterbalanced the 10 to 5 de feat which they suffered at the hands of the New York Yank ee.! at St Louis last Wednesday when Babe Ruth went on his rampage. m, Stealing the Yankees' own thunder, the Cardinals start ed smashing them from the time that Holm, first man up, led off with a single to right field. It was Bottomley's double sacker later in the in ning that started the scoring, and it was Bell's timely sin gle just a bit later that put across the two runs that put the game on ice for the Car dinals. Not for a moment af ter that^were the Cardinals in danger. But St. Louis was taking no chances. The Card Ins Is scored in In the fifth, and in the aev th went on a batting spree that, coupled with an error due to Lai terl'a failure to handle Alexan der's bunt, netted them five runs, and then they scored again In the ninth. A home run by Bell, scor-1 ing Hornsby ahead of him, a aln-' gle by Thevenow, MlUMl's mis Judgment of Southworth'a high Ify which gave the St. Louis bat tyr two basea, and Hornsby's ?af?* Hit through the pitcher's box were ' the high lights in the hectic Arm half of the seventh inning. Again as was the case in the first St. Louis victory, the veteran St. Louis pitcher, Orover Cleve- { land Alexsnder. was the hero of! the game. Alexander mixed hi* balls too well and put too much stuff on them for the crack bat ters of the Yankees to hsndle. He didn't pitch quite the airtight braud of baseball that he did in his first game but what he lacked of it wan inore than made up for by the stlckwork of his team mates. The Yankees used three pitch ers. Shawkey, Shocker and Thorn* as. r The final and deciding game will now be played bere Sunday. I Two veterana, Alexander for the Cardinals. and Shawkey for the Yankees, went in to pitch the alxth world aeries game here to day with a victory for New York ueanlnK the baseball champion ahlp of the world while by win ning the Cardinals would prolong thft series and fores the decisive gain** tomorrow.

Oct. 9.?The French Na vy after neverni month.h of care ful experiment x has formally adopted a new combustion fluid as a substitute for gasoline. The fluid, known us Makhonite car-( huraiit was invented by a natur-j allzed idissi.in who owns a factory1 near Paris. It can be extracted from Tiriotti henry mineral and vegetable oil*, but especially from] coal tar. Ninety percent of coal tar thus treated Is transformed carburant. Any good motor can bo adjusted i to this carburant In a few minuten and according to the official Navy reports it Is a better fuel than gas oline. Destroyers using It have been consistently beating destroy ers burning gasoline. The new fuel makes almost no smoke, emits almost no fumes and possesses the enormous advantage of being (an-j iuflamuble outside Of a motor. The j Navy report tells of extinguishing ' i bonfire of shavings and of vain ndoavorg to Ignite a quantity of | carburant poured on a floor.

Oct. 9?-Although the American Government would pre fer to nee no reservations attached lo the Mellon-Berenger delit agree ment when It is ratified by France there Is no objection in principle to the statement by France of It* understanding of the debt terma. Intimations have gone forth thut the Washington government will "Ignore" the reservations or that they will not be considered ?"binding." This is merely a ques tion of words for the truth'Is the American Government will take cognizance of the reservations by decllnlng to permit them to stand in the way of ratification here. Also the question of whether the .rM?rv?llniii w ?<N?lndlng" de pends altogether on exactly how they are phrased. Broadly speaking, there is no objection here to u statement on the part of Frauce that If she finds herself unable to pay any an nual InHtallment she will ask for reconsideration. Frunce, as a soverlgn power, has a right to ask for revision of any pact or agree ment no matter whether this was stipulated in the agreement in the first place. The right to ask for; a revision doe* not carry with it i 'any moral obligation on the part} of the United States to grant a re-j vision. Kven If It did. there is no| doubt that the extent of the re vision will become a matter of practical examination of facts and the consent In the last analysis to make concessions and alter the terms of the agreement reals with the majority votes of both houses of Congress. The uae of force to collect debts has for u long time been tabooed civilized power* and it la consid ered doubtful-whether the failure on the part of France to pay would be accompanied by anything else except a loss of good will aa well as hanking credit?both of which consideration)? are more Important to the. defaulting country than to the creditor nation. The second Idea which Is ex pected here to be Included In the French reservations Is that which attempta to set forth that France will be inclined to ask for a revl-' alon whenever payments from Ger many are diminished to a certain ? point. This too. Is something on which the American Government1 will prefer not to make any com-' imeni. simply walling for a specific I cane to arise. The Iln*? of reasoning employed In official circle? here In thai.ihc United State* ha? already given an ? xanvplc of Ita willingness to pro claim a moratorium In period* when the eichange In unfavorable. Thus If French Income were to be ?erlouaIy diminished. h??r ey change would nuffpr. Similarly. It would be to the dl?advantage of the United State* io demand Im port* of gold at a time when her foreign trade might ?uffer to an extA fiir btV'lid the rwtlptji from foreign debt paymenta. Blnce the whole matter Involve? reconsideration no matter what the emergency. and alnce the United Htatea aa the creditor re main? the.judge of whether eon ceaalon? shall he made, there It no disposition here to quibble about hypothetical coniIngencle? which may never arlee but the atatenvnt of which In the French reaerva II Ion? may a?alat the French pre mier In getting the pact ratified by parliament In the near future.
