Yanks Win Three Games
From Giants As Hubbell
Fails To Stop Murder
Take Fourth Game Of Series 5 To 2 After
Captain Gehrig Smashes Homer With
Red Rolfe On; Need Another
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—New York’s Civil war was thought
to have passed the crisis yesterday when the Yankees’ hall
murderers shattered a hitherto invincible Carl Owen Hub
bell’s record and brought the Giants hopes for victory tumb
ling at their feet.
An overflow crowd of 66,000 fan*
saw the American League champs,
led by Captain Henry Louis Gehrig,
hammer the southpaw pitcher for
hits and runs and end the game 6
to a. Gehrig's homer, with Red
Rolfs on base, climaxed an attack
which produced four runs and sew
ed up the ball game.
Last Today.
The fifth v>d possibly, the last
game of tjie series was slated to be
gin this afternoon at 1:30. Red
Ruffin* was expected to get an
other chance at the Giants but Ter
ry's pitcher was announced.
■ Far from the peak of effectiveness
he reached In halting the Yankees
in the rain on opening day, Hub
bell was battered for a total of
eight hits In the seven frames Vie
worked before giving way to a
pinch-hitter. The great southpaw
lacked his customary brilliant con
trol and his famous "screw" ball
held none of the baffling mysteries
for the Yankees' "murderer's row”
that it did last Wednesday.
Get Ample Revenge.
Thus the Yankees, who had their •
own World Series streak of 12 con
secutive games broken by Hubbell.
got ample revenge by handing the ;
ace of the Giants his first setbacl
since last July 13. when he dropped
a close decision to Bill Lee of the
Chicago Cubs.
The slender Oklahoman thereaft
er rolled up 16 consecutive triumph'
through the balance of the pennant
season, as he paced the Giants
championship rush, and he had
made it 17 in a row by taking the
World Series opener before the
Yankees, as well as the old law of
averages, caught up with him this
afternoon.
Behind the highly effective right
hand speedbail flinging of Monte
Pearson, who took the series spot
light after recovering rapidly from
a lame back, the Yankees took al
most complete command of New
York’s baseball civil war.
Lions And Cherries Tie 6-6
In Rather Slow Grid Game
A six to mx ite was all the Shel
by high school grid team was able
to make out of a game against
Cherryville Friday afternoon, al
though the team did score an extra
touchdown which was called back
on account of the backfield being In
motion.
Arnold Vaughn raced1 across the
goal line for the first score erf the
season for Shelby after Watts had
carried the ball to about the five
yard line. Roppe failed by inches
to make the extra point.
Cherryville scored on a long paas
ju“st over the safety m&n’t head, the
Cherryvllle end just stepping over
the line for the touchdown. Sisk,
the Cherries' tee fullback was un
fortunate enough to break a collar
bone In the last few minutes of
play.
Witnesses of the game and play
ers themselves, said the best play
ing in the backfleld was done by
Vaughn and in the line that Ken
neth Parris at tackle stood out.
However, as a whole, the entire
Shelby team lacked the fire and pep
needed to carry them far. They Just
oouldnt "get going” after having
the first touchdown called back.
Goodson’s Lions are scheduled to
(day Kings Mountain there next
Friday, but. due to the lair, the
game may be played Thursday.

In Eagle Robbery
No arrests have been made and
officers are still looking for clues
to the robbery of some *200 in

day night.
Police officers and offioials of the

someone knew where the motley
was hidden, and also had a key
which unlocked a door.
Attaches of the store worked un
til nearly 11 o'clock Friday night
and the money was missing Satur

been checked, one being that a per
son from a nearby building could
see through a window and observe
where the money was placed.

found him chasing John Hoskins,

enter the contest and was quickly
assailed by Ross who slashed him
right and left with a heavy knife.
Chief Willis joined him as quick

on the pavement.
Neither of the officers knew
Ross had a knife.
Ross was taken to the Clevelana

said, "He Is crazy all right. We
have him in a solitary cell, and he
still wants to jump on anybody who

if he becomes rational, he will
stand trial, where he will, if found
