Indiana Flelil. Cincinnati, O., Oct.
1. Thirty-two thousand pop-eyed fans
arose from their seats and cheered
wildly this afternoon when "Umpire
Ttlgler sang, out "play ball" in the
opening -baseball game ot the world's
series between the Cincinnati Beds;
champions 8f the National Xeague, and
the,Chicago "White Sox, winders of trie
American League flag' ? ' r
'Rafter Tteuthcr the great left;,
bander, was selected by 1'at Moran'to
tbettosslng against Eddie Oioctte, the
ini shine ball hurler of the Chicago
club.
Weather Is Hot
The weather was hot. Those vlio ex
pected chilly, October winds to blow
through the stands, were disappointed,
for it was like one of our scorchers
around July 4, The bleacher throng
was hatlcss and many were collariess.
The temperature hovered around 00 in
the sun
From our perilous.peich in the, press
section which wobbles' 6n the roof of the
grand stand, we coilld see a carefully
prepared plajing field with the bright,
white, straight foul JIiics glistening iu
the sunlight. Out In left field, tem
porary stands were erected, and in left
center is a two uy mur section which
accommodates a couple of hundred wild
eyed flsh. These stands arc constructed
on stilts, leaving lots of room under
neath. AH of this cool, shady space
w,as ocedpied and behind a three -foot
fence, stood a couple of thousand other
cash customers. f
The regular bleacher sections were
tilled at noon, but the lucky libldcrs of
grand stand seats refused to come .out
early. Hundreds of photographers
dashed hither and )on, snapping uction
pictures of the center-field flagpole, the
infield and other prominent landmnrks.
The fans were in a cheering mood and
practiced on the band for nbbut one-half
hour. Then when hey were all
warmed up the Cincinnati team stepped
on the field and the cheering was good,
lusty and, long,
Sox Confident
Tho yhite Sox looked confident when
they stepped into the arena and took
seats In the special players' bench
built in front of the temporary field
boxes. It was right in the sun, and
there was no cover oh the coop. Glea
bon was not at all pleased, but that
did not help matters any. They had to
'stick in the sub while the Iteds loafed
in the shade.
There was a big laugh from the
stands when Glcaspn and Moron met.
The band, .which had evidently been
tipped off, waited until the rival man
agers got together, ana then played
the "Wearing of the 'Green," Few
knew what the tune was, but it sounded
good, and mauy cheers followed. All of
which shWs that even alien music
makes a hit on world series day.

Airplane Drops 200 Feet
With Woman Passenger
Mrs, Carrie Webster,
Slightly Bruised in Crash During Exhi
bition Flight Pilot Escapes
An airplane, in which Mrs. Carrie
Webster, a prominent resident of Wtst
Chester, Pa., was a passenger, crashed
to earth nenr there last night from a
height Of more than 200 feet.
Mrs. AVebstcr and Captain A. W.
Itrlggs, pilot of the plnnc, escnped
death through the1 letter's presence of
mind. Both were badly cult nnd bruited.
The machine, a small Ctirtlss biplane,
was flying over West Chester at a rapid
speed. Hundreds of persons watched
the plane intently as it made graceful
turns and fihnrp curves.
The whirr of tho engine suddenly
Mopped. The machine appeared to
hesitate for an instant and then plunged
nose downward to earth.
Scores of persons ran in the direc
tion of the falling plane. Many be-1
llcved the fall meant death for the oc
cupants. Several persons telephoned
for physicians.
Thrown From Plane as It Hits
Captain Biigga kept cool during the
dive, managed to divert tho falling craft
slightly from its perpendicular course.
This softened the blow somewhat when
the machine crashed to earth.
The pilot and Mrs. Webster were
thrown out as the plane hit the ground.
Their fall proved a lucky turn, since
the terrific impact drove the axle un
der the craft clear through it.
Nearby residents were first to the
scene. Some came with first-aid equip
ment. 2 MEN IN ART CLUB
Watchman' and. Telephone Op
erator Victims in Tilt With
Supposed Former Employe
FOLLOWS LIVELY CHASE
A masked man invaded the Art Club
early today, shot two employes and
escaped through a basement window as
a cordon of police was surrounding the
club.
The injured men were:
K, P. Horner, forty -five years old,
1324 Orcen street, nleht telenhone oper
ator; shot in abdomen, 'and flesh of
temnle grazed by bullet, in jenerson
Hosnltal.
William Banham, fifty-five years old,
1214 Cherry street, night watchman;
shot in left leg, taken to home.
The Art Club is at 220 South Broad
street. Chancellor street, a narrow
thoroughfare, separates it from the
Bellevue-Stratford "Hotel. A block
away, on Fifteenth street, is the Fif
teenth and Locust streets police sta
tion and the City Hall, police hcad
qifartcrs glooms up two blocks to the
north,
Tho masked and armed intruder was
discovered by Banham as he was pass
ing a pair of heavy,, portieres on the
main flodr of the clubhouse, near the
cigar stand.
Mt
Members of Club Asleep
Several members of the club were
asleep on upper floors at thetime and
Horner, the night operator, was on duty
at the desk near the door.
( Banham was on his rounds when a
rustle ot the heavy silken hangings
made him peer into a deep window cmJ
brasure. A revolver was thrust into
his face ns he noted the intruder, a
man below the average height.
Instead of obeying a whispered com
mand for silence, Bnnham sprang at
the burglar and pinioned his arms. The
man held on to his weapon, but did not
fire as he wrestled with the watchman.
A sudden twist gave him liberty and
he darted along the main corrldoc to
ward tho rear of the clubhouse, avoid
ing rooms which would have shut off
his way of escape. The "ffatchman waB
only a few feet behind, and Horner,
attracted by the scuffle, was close at
Bajtiham's heels as the burglar reached
a stairway, to the basement. .
Three Shots Fired
Jumping down the stairway several
steps at a time, the burglar ran about
looking for a means pf exit. As Ban
ham and Horner ran down into the
semldarkness of the basement the
trapped man fired three shots.,
Oae bullet chipped across Horner's
fqrehead, the next plunged into his
abdomen. Horner fell, tho rfbird bul
let penetrating the left leg of Banham.
The sound of the shots was heard by
club members on the upper floors and by
taxlcab drivers whose machines were
parked near the Bellevue-Strntford.
The masked man raced back to
ward the Broad street end of the base

NTRUDER SHOOTS
of West Chester, Only
Bevond a few slisht cuts and bruises
nnd a general shaking up, neither of the
occupants was hurt.
jMrs. Webster has always had a de
sire to take an aerial trip. On hear
ing that Captain Bnggs was giving ex
hibition flights and taking" up passen
gers, Mrs. Webster asked the aviator to
take her up last night.
Cheered as night Starts
They started from the aviation ground
at Walters's farm, and many persons
cheered them as they rose gracefully In
the air. It was just about twilight
when the start was made. The little
craft soared to a height of several hun
dred feet and then gradually sought a
lower level. It was slightly more than
200 feet nloftHwhcn the engine stopped.
Captain Briggs, who sawjservlec dur
ing the war, is known as a careful
flyer. He will resume his exhibition
flights when the machine is repaired.
"Of course I was scared for a mo
ment," said Mrs. Webster, "but as the
captain seemed to be confident that
all would be well I did not lose my
head. I certainly will remember my
first trip. Yes, I would like to go up
again. I have not the slightest fear.
Accidents, you know, will happen on
the ground as well ns in the air. Hid
ing aloft is much more pleasant than
on tho ground. Yes, I have a few
bruises, but I think I am remarkably
lucky." "
IN TROLLEY FIGHT
ii
P.R. T.' Virtually Agrees to Ex
tend .Proposed New Loop to
Gorgas Lane s
SEEK TO IMPROVE -SERVICE
Germantown trolley riders won a
ictory today when it was announced
that the Rapid Transit Company had
virtually agreed to divert its proposed
new trolley extension from Slocum
street to Gorgas lane.
H. C. Tulley, vice president of the
company, together with representatives
of the Germantown Business Men's As
sociation, made an inspection of Slocum
street, where it is proposed to lay tracks
in front of their homes.
Mr. Tulley suggested the Extension
from Germantown avenue along Gorgas
lane, and it met with approval. The
object of the company, he pointed out,
is to meet the wishes of trolley riders
for improved sen ice. He left the com
mittee with the understanding that the
change would likely be made.
Germantown residents wanted better
service along Germantown avenue. They
asked for the near-side green cars to
the end of the Chestnut Hill line. The
company declared that, for mechanical
reasons, the cars could not be operated
to the end of the line. It was agreed
to put on the new cars as far north
as Slocum street and then transfer pas
sengers to the pay-as-you-enter yellow
cars to the Chestnut Hill terminus.
Slocum street was picfied as the
street along which the loop extension
was to be operated. The residents com
plained. Then came today's inspection
and the virtual decision of the company
to select (JOrgas lane for the loop. There
are twenty-four homes in Slocum street
and only one property owner in Gorgas
lane in the territory to be traversed.
Green nearside cars will be put on
Germantown avenue as far as Gorgas
lane and transfers will be given to pas
sengers going further north. The green
cars then will loop around Gorgas lane,
under the new plan, andKturn to Ger
mantown avenue.

The victim of tho attack, Mrs. May

There were few spectators of the little
drama in Judge Katea's courtroom on

thronged, but ofliccrs kept the morbidly
curious away from the door.
There were three witnesses for the
state, Mrs. Lotsey, Chief of Police Wil
liam H. Lir.derman, of Merchantvllle,
and Dr. J. W. Marcy, of Merchantvllle.
The latter examined the woman after

and brought to the Camden jail at 3
o'clock this morning, was one of the first
to reach the courtroom. He was not
manacled but deputy sheriffs watched
him closely.
The accused man Bat huddled up in
the dock, eyes downcast. There was a
sense of depression in the room because
of the clouded sky outside.

ed by Chief Llnderman and a matron,
entered the courtroom. She wore the
same clothes she was wearing when

K.unon Do Valero, "presidint of the
Irish republic," arrived in this city to
day. He will remain until Friday
morning.
Thousands of persons thronged the
streets near North Philadelphia htnttbn
and gave the Irish leader a tumultuous
reception. The cheering was continued
as Dc Valera nnd his party, heading a
long line of automobiles containing Irish
sympathizers, paraded to Independence
Hall, where De Valera was welcomed
on behalf of the citv bv E J. Cattell.
Major Smith did not greet the Irish
leader on his arrival. Neither did Gov
ernor Sproul, Both had agreed to serve
on the reception committee. Governor
SpToul was detained on official busi
ness at Harrisburg. Mayor Smith was
"out of town."
On the reception committee were a
number of judges and municipal of
ficers. They were not at the station.
The greeting to Philadelphia was ex
tended by various leaders in the Irish
movement 'here nnd a number of Cath
olic clergymen.
Protest Against City's Welcome
There had been numerous protests
from individuals and organizations
against the proposed welcome on the
part of the city. No city ofiicial took
part in the welcome until Mr. Cattell,
at Independence Hall, greeted De-A c
lera. It was at Independence Hall that De
Valera received a welcome that brought
tears to his eyes.
In spite of the rain a great crowd
had assembled in advance, waiting un
der the porticos at either side of the
hall to get what shelter they could,
crowding near the entrance of the his
toric building, or standing under um
brellas in n long, deep double line that
stretched behind the police ropes from
either side of the entrance to the curb.
A large proportion of the crowd were
men. The Irish societies Were out in
force the Maomen were there, the
members of the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians n great gathering of the clans.
Many women were in the crowd, and
children from the Annunciation School.
Children on All Sides
The youngsters, with Irish flags of
green, white and orange, were ranged
inside the hall. Opposite them a band
waited. A great bell of flowers, almost
as large as the Libert Hell, made up
of red and white dahlias and blue wild
asters, stood on the floor beside the
Liberty Bell. It was the gift of the
Friends of IriRh Freedom
Near the Liberty Bell slood qix-ycar-oid
Sarah Brown, daughter of James
Brown, 1223 , South Twenty-fourth
street, and a pupil in St. Anthony's
School, bearing a great bunch of thirty
two roses, one for each Irish county.
They were from the forty-sixth division
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
De Valera arrived about twenty min
utes after 12 o'clock. The first glimpse
of the line of automobiles coming down
Chestnut street drew cheers from the
crowd outside Independence Hall, taken
up bj those waiting within.
De Valern entered the hall accom
panied by Michael J. Ityan, former
member of the Public Service Commis
sion and a member of the reception com
mittee. Mr. Cattell was waiting by the bell
to greet De Valera. After Mr, Ityan
had introduced them, Mr. Cattell wel

Welcomed by Cattell
"On this sacred spot," said Mr.
Cattell, "Irishmen helped write the
mbst sacred history of our land. I have
Irish blood iu my veins, and as a
descendant of Irishmen and an Amer

keeping. You are welcome to this birth

De Valera then spoke.
"I thank you very sincerely." he
said, "for your words of welcome to this
shrine of liberty. It is sacred to all
the world as well as to America, This
Is rf proud day for Ireland, to know
that Irishmen in this land of liberty
