YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Babe Ruth
and Buster Gehrig, the two big guns of the New York
Yankees, put the American League champions out in front
of the 60,000 spectators here this afternoon when the Yanks
defeated the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 2 to 1 in
the first game of the world’s series.
It was a hectic game in which each team crashed thru
a nervous pitcher for one run in the opening inning. The
pitchers then steadied and the Yankees’ attack which had
been very dormant broke out with just a fluster in the
sixth inning when Babe and Buster put over the run that
won the game.
It was fast action for the crowd that was looking
right that hit the ground between Ruth and the foul line
for action. Douthit open dethe game with a line double to

to sacrifice but swung hard and

balls tho not trying to walk him
on purpose. Meusel also walked

forced Meusel allowed Combs to

AUSTIN, Oct. 2.—Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson would not
deny today the report that the
names of Scott Woodward, Fort
Worth; E. L. Pitts, Mineral Wells,
and George P. Robertson, Meri-
dian, would be sent to the Senate
next week for confirmation as
members of the State Highway
Commission to take the places of
Hal Moseley, Dallas; John M.
Cage, Stephenville, and John H.
Bickeit Sr., San Antonio, whose
resignations have been rumored
for several days. In the absence
from the city of James E. Fer-
guson no statement on the sub-
ject was obtainable from him.
The Governor’s only comment
was that she had noc appointed
any new highway commissioners,
and that was made in answer
to a question if she desires to
deny the prospective appoint-
ments.
Resignations Rumored
From an apparently reliable
source it was learned that the
nominations of the new com-
missioners had been planned to
go to the Senate late Friday
afternoon, but on account of
some hitch having occurred the
appointments are not to be sent
in until next week. They may
get to the Senate Monday.
A rumor persisted here that
the Governor had requested Com-
missioner John H. Bickett to ten-
der his resignation. Bickett has
been in ill health for some
months and has not attended
any of the recent meetings of
the highway commission.

First round of the court fight
over the paternity of Byron B.
Luck Jr., 3-year-old boy, in 96th
District Court was won Saturday
by Mrs. Marie L. Tillery, formerly
Mrs. B. B. Luck, who says she is
the child’s adopted mother.
Judge Hal S. Lattimore sus-
tained her motion to dissolve the
receivership of the estate of her
former husband, Dr. B. B. Luck
of Breckenridge.
Official records, said to have
been made at the time of the
child's birth in Hope Cottage, Dal-
las, were introduced to prove that
the child was not born to Dr. and
Mrs. Luck in 1923, but was adopt-
ed by them.
Records Are Shown
The records named a young
couple living in Denison as the
parents of the baby, and showed
the child had been turned over to
the Lucks for adoption.
Jesse Martin was appointed re-
ceiver of the property by the court
when an injunction suit was filed
in the baby'* name by relatives
who alleged Mrs. Tillery had at-
tempted to defraud the child.
It was testitfied that she made
an affidavit stating the baby was
only an adopted child, and she was
named sole beneficiary of Dr.
Luck's estate in the probating of
his will.
Mrs. Tillery testified that she
made a will in Dallas in 1925, in
which halt of her property was
left to a daughter by a former
marriage, and half to Baby Byron.
Made a Will
"It was 1 o'clock in the morn-
ing,” she said. "I had just had a
major 'operation, and I didn't
know whether I would live or die.
• "Mrs. J. L. Walker urged me to
make the will. She and J. L.
Walker were named administra-
tors,” she declared.
"Halt my property was left to
my daughter and half to my sup-
posed-to-be son, Byron," she said.
"And he would have continued to
have been known as my son, if it
hadn’t been tor Mr, Walker.”
She declared the property left
by Dr. Luck was all involved in
litigation except the homestead in
Breckenridge. She testified that
her interests and the interests of
J. L. Walker were intertwined in
parts of the property.
"I was threatened on August 19
in the Baker Hotel in Dallas by
J. L. Walker that if I didn't give
up some claims that this suit
would be filed to break the will,"
she declared.
Made Investigation
Mrs. Tillery has adopted the
child since the present lititgation
started, according to testimony
brought out in court.
Elmer Johns, attorney who
filed the petition for the injunc-
tion and receivership, testified
that he had made investigations,
and the child’s birth certificate
was found in Breckenridge.
“The Information I had was
that this was her child,” Johns
said.
He said J. L. Walker first ap-
proached him to file the suit.
ARLINGTON, Oct. 2. — Cotton
fields are white in this vlciuity,
gins are running all the time, and
practically all expert pickers are
enroute to West Texas, where
picking is reported much better
than here.
Farmers declare it will be im-
possible to gather the yield before
it suffers damage, if pic’zers con-
tinue to go west.
About 60 percent of the cotton
here is unhurt. However, the
balance has been damaged by leaf
worms and other pests. Where
the bolls are immature, picking is
hard, and 200 pounds per day is
considered good for an average
picker. Some are picking 500.
However, this is not common. One
dollar 1* being paid at present.
The highest price to be paid for
cotton here is 17% cents. One
thousand six hundred and forty
Gehrig on an eas:
on strikes. Weil

County Detective Harry Hamil-
ton made the highest grade in the
civil service examination conduct-
ed this week for new policemen,
it was announced Saturday.
His grade was 98.
Hamilton was formerly police
chief under John Aiderman but
was ousted four years ago. Since
that time he has been county de-
tective under R. K. Hanger.
Hamilton was a candidate for
sheriff this year, being defeated
by Sheriff Carl Smith for re-elec-
tion by 154 votes in the Democra-
tic primaries.
A Good Man.
Chief Henry Lee said Satur-
day he was not certain where
Hamilton would be put to work.
Several of the men who success-
fully stood the examination are
expected to be put to work Mon-
day.
It is thought, however, Hamil-
ton may go into the detective de-
partment, probably in an execu-
tive capacity. This department
। has been without a lientenant
since the resignation of M. ‘ ds-
burg, a year ago.
Lee would not comment on
this.
“All I will say is that Hamil-
ton is a mighty good officer and
would be a credit to the depart-
ment,” he declared.
Hamilton said he had not been
notified as yet when to report for
work.
"I’ll also have to give notice to
Mr. Hanger,” he declared.
Eight men made grades above 00, in-
cluding Harry Hamilton. V8; Otis Beard.
06.5: Archie M. Morgan, 05; Ural E.
Pord, M; Joe W. Tima. *4: M. Mont-
gomery, 04; Harry D. Miller, 01; and Earl
