8. (AP) Gabby Hartnett's once glorious Chicago Cubs, cut down by Monte Pearson's five-hit pitching and a home run attack that lent Roman holiday atmosphere to the whole proceedings, fell for the third straight time today as the hilarious New York Yankees neared their goal as the first ball club in history to win three successive world series titles. Balked and held hitless for 4 2-3 innings by Clay Bryant, the big mountaineer pitching man from Lynchburg, Virginia, the world's champions, sparked this time by their sensational freshman hero, Joe Gordon, wiped out a 1-0 deficit with seven timely blows, two of them homers, to race off with victory, 5-2. As in the first two routs at Chicago, the world's conquerors played like champions. Pearson, after a shaky start, gave them their best pitching of the series.

From the very strt of the contest, which drew a cash gate of $106,721.58, far short of the record that was expected, one could feel the tension. As Bryant fooled the heavy swinging enemy inning after inning and even was presented with a one-run lead through a flareup that almost incapacitated Umpire Charley Moran in the fifth inning, the suspicion always was there that the Yanks would must loose, and they did break loose in the 5th and 6th innings. Gordon Hits Homer Bryant, steaming along with a no-hitter, had two men out and two strikes on Gordon when a slow ball he had been trying to get over all afternoon finally got him in trouble and turned on the gas. Gordon, timing himself perfectly, caught the slow pitch and leisurely, though firmly, banked it into the lower left field box seats to tie the score. No sooner did the tumult and shouting die and you should have seen those Yankees pound bats in their dugout as Gordon sprinted around the bases than another run had come home to put the champs ahead to stay.

Y. U. powerhouse attack churned through Rutgers for a 25-to-6 victory, but failed to leave as striking impression as the score might indicate had it not -been for the inability of the Scarlet to hold on to the pig-skin in its first major test of the season before an overflow crowd of 12,000, on sun-warmed Neilson Field yesterday afternoon. The unrelentless attack of the Violets ground out two last period scores in their best showing of the afternoon to bolster a 13 to 6 lead produced by touchdowns In the first and second periods.

The Scarlet, hampered by seven fumbles and slipshod ball-carrying, put over its tally in the second period in a dazzling air attack paced by Art Gottlieb, who set the stage for the scoring heave to Parker Staples with a prodigious 62-yard toss. The Scarlet defense fought bravely but in vain aganst the slashing and speedy backs unveiled by Coach Mai Stevens, but was forced to give ground when it was backed to its goal. Coach Harvey Harman's charges were unable to launch a tusfained attack except for twice during the game and as a result spent most of the time repulsing th? greedy Violet eleven.

S. A. Oil Precedent haltering Trij) Next Summer LONDON, Oct, 8 OPj-King George VI and Queen Elizabeth will become the first reigning British sovereigns ever to set foot In "the New World" by a visit to Canada next summer which may take them to the United States. A brief official announcement to day from Balmoral Castle in Scot land said the British rulers would make the precedent-shattering trip in the eRily summer and spend "about three weeks" In Canad No mention was made of the United States, but many believed it was possible Their Majesties might go there as a gesture of Anglo-American solidarity for internation al reasons and increasing pressure here for closer ties between the United States and Great Britain, The announcement from Balmoral, where the king and queen are staying, said simply: lne King and queen nave gra ciously consented to accept the suggestion of the prime minister of Canada that they should visit Canada next year. "Their majesties hope to arrive in the early summer and spend about three weeks in the dominion." Some sections of the British press have urged that the king and queen visit New York's world's fair next year.

If they do not enter the United States, there was the pos sibility they might meet President Roosevelt on the international ooundary. The King and Queen will cross the Atlantic on a specially chartered liner not yet selected. The news magazine Cavalcade In a recent article proposing such a visit to the United States said the project had the "blessing and support" of United States Ambassador Joseph P.

Theodore, Cardinal Innitzer was injured flightly today when a Nazi crowd stoned his palace and smashed a window in the cardinal's private chapel where he was praying. Virtually all palace windows were shattered by the demonstrators who invaded the archepiscopal offices, carried out numerous pieces of furniture and burned them in St Stephen's Square. The Nazi attack came apparently in retaliation for a demonstration last night involving Catholic youths who had heard Cardinal Innitzer preach a stirring sermon.

The cardinal's injury was caused by a spinter of glass as the demon strators hurled stone after stone through the private chapel window, With attending clergy, Innitzer had retired there to pray during the hostile demonstration. Palace attendants bandaged the wound which did not require hospi tal attention. Police dispersed the Nazis after tbey had rioted for nearly an hour, and a Are brigade quenched the blazing furniture. Las night's near riot, which brought Nazi retaliation today, followed upon a service for Catholic youth who packed St Stephen's Cathedral while 10,000 others stood outside. Innitzer exhorted his listeners to "preserve faith and give outward testimony thereof, difficult though that may be, for it is not enough to carry faith only within the heart." CHIEF ARTHUR JAQUES an Important reason, is because people do not drill themselves in their homes in preparation for a fire.

Tho belief was general he might seize upon his proximity to French territory to make another gesture of friendship to the western democracy. Meanwhile, German troops moved Into the fifth zone of Sudetenland which was delimited by the international commission in Berlin.

In the German capital Itself, the government revoked all German passports In the hands of Jews. This action came in a decree of the ministry of interior. It applies -o Jews who are German citizens und they were given two weeks lrom yesterday, when the decree was signed, to surrender their passports. As a if suit United States consulates found a wrench thrown Into their visa machinery since several thousand visas issued recently will prove worthless unless the ministry of interior agrees automatically to restore and revalidate passports for such Jews as have been given United States visas Consulate officials here said they tad asked the ministry for an early conference. It may be held Monday, The decree provided that Jews will be given police cards In place of their passports.

I It a Jew wishes to travel abroad his passport may be made valid again by a special amendment entered Into it. Hitler will speak at 2 p. m. (8 a. EST) in the Saarland which officially became a part of Germany March 1, 1935.

Tledged Friendship He already had made gestures of friendship toward France In two previous speeches, on Septembet 12 at Nuernberg when he reiterated his renunciation of any claim to Alsace-Lorraine and on September 26 In Berlin when he renounced all further territorial claims on tho European continent after annexation of Sudetenland. Berlin diplomatic circles awaited the speech with interest but no German in authority was able or willing to disclose the probable nature of the talk. Officials pointed out that Hitler is interested in art as well as foreign affairs and therefore his rpecch might easily be devoted to the theater and its place in German cultural life. It will be broadcast throughout the nation. Hitler left Field Marshal Hemann Wllhelm Goering behind In the fourth sone of occupation of Sudetenland as he boarded his special train for the Saar with the cheers of crowds at Patschkau ringing in his ears.

The WPA order, issued in Washington today, followed by less than a day the announcement of the Senate campaign expenditures committee that it would begin an immediate inquiry. The charges, denied by Democratic leaders, including William II. Ely, senatorial nominee, were made by his opponent, W. Warren Parbour, and by Representative Fred A. Hartley, Kearny Republican.

Acting on Hartley's assertion that he had "positive proof that the Democratic organization in Essex County has threatened every WPA' worker with the loss of his job for failure to vote and work for the Democratic ticket," Aubrey Williams, acting WPA administrator, directed Francis H. Dryden, field representative for the Middle Atlantic States, to make the inquiry. "We will not tolerate administrative employes engaging in political activities where those activities in- volve project workers, either on or off the project," Williams said.

On the street below were hundreds who gasped as the former sailor did a spin on the 13-inch disc which had been his "home" for 100 hours. "Yea, Kelly," shouted the onlookers.
