. .. m4- r EVENING LBDGBB PHILADELrHlk, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 191S: MAYOR TO SPEAK TO HELP PORTER DEFEAT MACHINE Blankenburg Declares He'll Attack Good Govern ment's Foes in Stump Speeches WILL USE HARD FACTS Mayor DlnknburK announced today that he Intends to stump the city for Gforge D. Porter, Independent candidate for Mayor, "You can any tor me," ald the Mayor, "that I will tart next Monday and will nppear three nights a week until the voting starts. I am loaded with tacts that will stagger the 'Oangr Organization and they will not dare make an attempt to refute my statements. I will tell the voters about Porter In avery section of the city and will also tell them some things about Ms opponents. It will be easy to tall the fallings of Councils and how they hare tried to prevent the suc cess of a non-political administration. "I must lisus an order prohibiting the officeholders from paying any voluntary contributions or paying heed to the as eessmente." When told that his departmental di rectors had already Issued such orders he replied: "That's alt right. I want to tell them, too. I want to make It emphatic that they do not have to frar the results of not submitting to a gouge of this kind." SCHEME OP COUNCILS. Again taking up the question of Coun cils' actions, jthe Mayor said: "They do not want to give us what Is actually needed for departmental expenses because they would have me go out of offloe with the record of leaving a large deficit behind. They are forgetful of the deficit of 80O,00O which Director Loeb In herited In the Department of Supplies and which he has paid oft during this admin istration. You can say for me that my health will permit me to stump for George D. Porter. I never felt better, even If they have had me half dead ever since I came Into office. "The 'Gang doesn't want the 'old man' on the stjimp. but he will be there, and nothing will keep htm oft until Porter is elected." CANDIDATES INDORSED. George D.

"The pre-emptors In the respective wards who control the Franklin party title are taking steps toward placing on the ticket unbossed candidates for Coun cils." The new Franklin party has broken all records for Independent movements In the way the voters are flocking to the party and are volunteering their serv ices and organising In every election di vision In the city to csrry on the fight against the contractor bosses. Herbert D Allman, campaign manager for the Independents, said today that within ft week an organisation never be fore equaled In tho history of Independent politics In Philadelphia will be In the field, prepared to roll up a heavy vote for the Independent candidates on election day.

Durgess was an employe of Baldwin's locomotive works and was on his way home when the auto struck him. He Is survived by a widow and six chil dren. It Is believed he became be wildered by the powerful headlights on the automobile as he was crossing the road. REAL MANAGER NEEDED TO WIN, SAYS LUDERUS Continued from Page One reason Pat Is Invaluable on the line be cause he can forsee with almost mathe matical precision tho defensive move ments of the opposing team and can plan his attack accordingly. 1 have heard pitchers who have had Moran for their catcher tell me that he knew more about batters' weaknesses than any other receiver In the league and that he could devlne almost to a cer tainty when a man on first was going down, then he would call for a pitch out the runner would be nailed. Certainly mv experience with Moron has lead me to bellevt that he knows the batters, even now when ho Is not playing, better than men who are In there every day behind the bat. Our pitchers say that they have learned more baseball under Moran thlB season than they have In all the rest of their past baseball experience combined. To this fact can be attributed much of our success this year. Pat can tell the pitcher whether to use a low curve out side, a high fast inside or whatever else the batsman Is most likely to convert Into an easy grounder or a weak fly. And he will be there doing the same thins In the series. While our pitchers and Klllefer and Burns know very well what balls to pitch to the batters In the National League, they are not so familiar with the Red Sox hitters, consequently all of them, In cluding Alex, will be out In the box test ing out the manager's directions rather than relying on their own Judgment. On tho offense we rely even more on the manager's Judgment than in the de fensive end of the game. There Is rarely a time that a hitter goes up without being told what to do. For Instance, with a fast man like Paskert on first he is likely to tell Cravath to play the hit-and-run, and also he will figure whether the second baseman or the shortstop Is going to take the throw, and will tell the batter whether he shall try to hit Into right or left field. One of the most striking features of Moran's ability as a manager Is shown by the fact that his decision on a play Is never questioned. Of course, the main leason for this Is that he has shown us that he knows better than any one else what ought to be done. He has proven this hundreds of times throughout the present season, therefore It Is not In the least remarkable that we should rely Implicitly on his keen Judgment. It must hot be supposed by this, however, that Moran is not open to suggestions. On tho contrary, he has an open mind and If, as sometimes happens at our meet ings, a suggestion Js made that does not coincide with something that he has previously told us, he will weigh the new Idea, look at It from all angles, then make his decision. If he thinks the player's suggestion Is the better he will adopt that and discard the old one. But when he once decides on a certain line of attack or defense, he wants that plan carried out and It Is otherwise somebody Is In for a good call. I know that there were a number of people In Philadelphia who thought when Pat was nppolnted manager that he would be too easy wth his players and that he would not get the work out of them Well, that theory was exploded the first day we arrived In St Petersburg for spring training. From the moment he went out on Coffee Pot field there was no mistak ing who was manager, and there has been none since that day. From the time that we began to think we nctually had a chance to wlmthe pen nant Moran put the "kibosh" on pennant talk. He told us, Just as he told outsid ers who asked him about his chances for tho flag, that we were to go In there each day and try to win that ball game; that nothtnr could he accomplished In baseball except by winning the Individual games. We worked on this theory all season, with the result that for the first time In Its history the Philadelphia team has won a pennant. This same plan we will adopt In the world's series games. While I. along with the other fellows, nm confident of ultimate success, I know that the nay to defeat our opponents Is to think only of the one game we are In Of course plan ning for the other names has to be done, but Moran will do that, for It Is a part of his duty, not a function of the player. The attitude of our club today Is oi?e of confidence, but It Is far different from that held by the Athletics last year, and from that of the Cubs of 1I10. These teams were so overconfident that they completely underrated the power of the clubs they had to face. We realize that to win tho world's championship we must fight and fight to the last ditch. Every man on our club must be In trim and must be at his best, and they all know It. Even then we will have a hard strug gle, because the Red Sox have a strong club In the field, n powerful attack, led by their outfielders, Lewis. Speaker and Hooper, and a pitching staff which Is reputed to "be far away the strongest In tho American Lengue. This pitching staff Is regarded as the big mumbling block to our success, but 1 don't believe we will have ns much trouble with them as some writers would make the public believe. It Is claimed that we have not been up against first class left-handed pitching this year, but that is not a fact We have seen some good southpaws and havo profited by tho experience gained by batting against them. Just look what we did against Art Nehf in Boston fourteen hits for nineteen bases' That doeBn't show much weakness against the left-handers. Leon ard and Ruth will have to bo awfully good, better than I believe they are, If they wish to keep us from hitting them. We ha e men on our club, too, who nre good hunters and this brings to mind a play which we have worked successfully all season and may use against tho lied Sox If the occasion presents Itself, that Is the squeeze and the double squeeze. Time and again we have pulled this on other clubs with perfect success and have won bnll games by Its use. Moran knows Just when tho play should be made and we havp been able to make it nine times out of 10 and half the time the piny It sell has failed the runner on third has been able to either make a steal of home or get safely back to the bag. This play and many others we have In store for the Red Sox and the fans of Philadelphia who have stuck by us so loyally can depend on Us to pull through when Pat gives the word. YOUTH CONFESSES ROBBERY Student Captured in Night School Admits Taking Cash Box From Clerk Howard B. Ramsey confessed at a hear ing today that he held up a clerk of the Do Fraln Sand Company, nt the foot of Berks street, Richmond, and was held In JSOO ball for court.

Has tho City by the Throat" PRESENCE NOT REALIZED A stepson of E. T, 8totcsbnry, financier and University of Pennsylvania trustee, has quit his course In economics at the Wharton School because, ho says. In structor II I. Raldensperger said the Philadelphia Hnpld Transit Company "has Philadelphia by tho throat and Is strangling It." The young man Is James Henry Robert Cromwell, son of Mrs. K. T. Stotesbury. He was taking nn elective three-year course, which permitted him to drop from the economics class previously conducted by Dr. ficott Scaring, who wan dismissed by the trustees last spring Provost Edgar P. Smith, when nsked to make a statement with reference to the affair, said that he knew nothing about It beyond what had been published In the newspapers nnd did not believe that he would Investigate the matter. "If the focts ns alleged nre true, do you think that It would be wrong for Mr. Raldensperger to mnke the statement at tributed to him?" Doctor Smith was asked. "No, I fo not think so," was his reply. Cromwell was seen today Immediately after leaving n class In business law In the) Wharton School. He said: " hnt tho papers quote me as say ing todav. Is substantially correct. The statements of Professor Raldensperger sounded like Socialism to me. Now 1 am not a Socialist, and although I agree with him in some things I did not like what he said. "I thought it pretty raw for him to speak that way when father gets no remuneration for his serlces to the P R. T. Furthermore, I think tho P.

I want It understood, how ever, that I nm not criticising anybody In tho University, for that Is farthest from my Intention." The lecture ,ln which the objectlonal statement Is snld to .have been made n as given last Wednesday. Two days later Cromwell went to Frank Hrelmclor. as sistant to Dean Roswell C.

You know, when your father Is chairman of the Hoard of Directors of Vhat corporation, such statements as Mr. Raldensperger made were mighty un pleasant. "I do not think he knew T was In the classroom. As I left I remarked the lec ture was like an I. W. W, meeting. A student alongside of me said, 'No, you are wrong. That was a fine lecture.' I be lieve Mr, Baldensperger heard what I said, for he looked around nt me. "I went home and told my father what had taken placs. He told me to do what I thought beat and I went to Mr. Brel meler. my adviser, and told him I wished to drop economics. He gave me per mission to do so and I have "decided to give up permanently that part of my college education. I knew nothing of economics before I eptered the course, nnd If that quls Is nn example of what Is to follow, I'm mighty glad I dropped It. Mr. Baldensperger said he was going right on In Doctor Nearing's foot steps. 1 wanted to study economics, but I don't think young men should be taught that the rich are trying to strangle the poor. "That first lecture sounded to ma very much like Socialism. I don't believe in Socialism, and since I've heard that Mr. Raldensperger Hunks you If you don't be lieve as he does, perhaps It Is better that t am out of tho course." Mr. Raldensperger says he has no rec ollection of making the stntement about the P. n.
