NEW YORK TAKK8 FIRST
World'* Hrrif# Now On For HnnebaU'a
Premier Honors
Forbes Field, Pittsburg, Oct. 5.
In u clone ami exciting, nut also
loosely played battle thut ?vat> considerable
below the best standards
of either team, the New York Yankees
wrested a 6 to 4 victory from
an erratic crew of I'ittpburg Pirates
today in the opening game of
the 1927 world's series.
A colorful crowd of close to 42,000,
jamming Forbes Field to the
edges, came out to see a battle of
Yankee siege guns and Pirate
sharpshooters but its expectations
were completely upset. Instead,
they saw Babe Ruth lead the Yankee
attack with singles, instead of
home runs, watched the Pirate defense
crack wide open in the third
inning to permit the American
League champions to gain a commanding
lead and witnessed the
bombardment of the rival righthanded
pitching aces, WaJte Hoyt
and Ray Kremer, into retirement.
The Pirates outhit the Yankees,
0 to 6. They constantly threatened
Hoyt and finally drove him from the
box in the eighth inning, but game
as was their uphill fight, the Corsairs
lacked the punch to win after
their own mistakes, plus Kremer's
wildness, had virtually tossed
away the game in the third inning.
Wiley Moore and his "sinker ball"
came to the rescue in the eighth
as Hoyt fast was weakening and
checked what little remained of Pirate
hopes by retiring Earl Smith
with runners on first and third.
New York Takes Second Also
The second game of the world's
series at Pittsburg Thursday also
went to New York by a score of 6 to
2. Pipgrass went all the game for
New York while Aldridge gave way
to Cvengros. The scene of the next
battle will be in New York today.
Reports of the game are being received
at various radio sets in Camden?the
main crowd being at the
Court House where it is being received
under the auspices of the
American legion. Sunday^ game
will be received by Western Union
and will be reported to the audience
at the Court House. No. radio report*
will be received on Sunday.
Ruth Shatters Record
New York, Sept. 30.?Babe Rutn
has improved his own standard for
homers per season. By turning out
his sixtieth of the current campaign
in the Yanks' clash with the Senators
today he set a new record for
the pastime over his own which has
stood since 1921. The heavy slugger
has hit four home runs in the
last three games.
"Fo'-De-Wah" Negro Die*
Tennille, Ga., Oct. 2.?His body

sermon preached by a white
minister, his mourners including
many of the town's leading citizens,
Archie Warthen, aged "fo'-de-wah"
negro, was buried here.
W art hen was, for 20 years, janitor
in the public school and the
Baptist Church. He was humble and
obliging, a typical darkey of tUe fast
vanishing school. He was a favorite
with the high school lads of yesteryear.
and many of the town's lead
ing men sent elaborate floral offerings
to bedeck his grave?symr
bolical of their regard for him.
