BOSTON SCORE OF 5 TO 4 SENDS ATHLETICS DOWN TO THIRD STRAIGHT LOSS Boston Takes Game in Last Half of Twelfth Philadelphia Scores in first and fourth, Boston Getting Its First run in the Second and Number Two in the Fourth From Fifth to Ninth Philadelphia Unable to Score Both Sides Play Nerve-Racking Ball and Fans in Frenzy as Battle Wavers Both Teams Score Two in Tenth.

(By FRANK MENKE, I. N. S. SPORT EDITOR.) BOSTON, Oct. 12. Keeping up their wining streak, the Braves today in the last half of the twelfth broke a tie score and won 5 to 4. The official attendance was 35,520. The receipts are $43,488. With the field so dark that the ball could hardly be seen from the grandstand, Gowdy doubled to left field bleachers and was replaced on the bases by Mann. Gilbert batting for James was given an intentional pass. Mann scored when Moran bunted to Baker who threw wild to Barry. Boston fans were wild with joy and storned the diamond. It was one of the most nerve racking baseball battles on record. In Philadelphia's half of the tenth, two runs came across. With Schang and Murphy on bases, Baker singled too fast for Evers to handle. Schang scored while Evers dropped the ball on the recovery, permitting Murphy to score. Mclnnis flied out to Whitted, ending the scoring. Boston came right back in its half. Gowdy knocked a home run into thi bleachers. Moran walked and Evers singled sarply into center field. M.iranville was dancing like an Indian on the first base coaching line. Moran went to third on Evers' smash. Moran scored on Connolly's sacrifice fly to Walsh. Whitted was unable to do more than fly to Baker.

After the fourth inning, neither side was able to score in the fifth, sixth and seventh. Both sides played airtight ball. In the first of the sixth Baker hit into a double play, retiring his side. The fans were wildly excited. Boston rooters implored Stallings' men to decide the issued with a rally that would give the mthe third game, and thereby the big edge on the series. Athletics Score Early. Philadelphia opened the fireworks in the first inning by scoring a run when Murphy doubled and crossed the plate after Connolly lost Collins' liner. Boston came back in the second half of the second when Maranville walked, stole second and came home on ,.' OffwyTtlwT-tr-'the"1eft field bleachers. In the fourth Mclnnis doubled to left field bleachers, Connolly turning a comersault to get it, and when Walsh singled to left, Mclnnes scored. This gave Philadelphia a lead of one run. Boston evened the score in its half. Schmidt singled and later got to second. Maranville lined out what seemed to be a two-base hit, getting to second. He was called back by the umpire to first and then the decision was changed and Maranville was called back to the plate by Umpire Hildeforand. The ball landed an inch outeide the line. Maranville singled to right, scoring Schmidt with a Texas leaguer which neither Murphy nor Collins could handle. Maranville was out at home on the squeeze play. Warriors Prepared. Our old friend, Mr. World's Series, returned to this scene today after an absence of two years and found a sanguinary conflict in prospect along the front of the opposing forces, the Bostion Braves and the Philadelphia Athletics. The American league champions, routed in the battles that occured Friday and Saturday, were at bay, and their air of determination indicated that they would put up a last ditch fight that would be memorable In the history of baseball. The great majority of the rooters, who turned out to see the contest, were Boston fans, who intrenched themselves before the first gun was fired, and with fanatical ovations cheered for their favorites. The Philadelphia rooters, though outnumbered, grimly declared themselves confident tnat the tide of battle would turn with today's game and that henceforth there would be nothing too it. They had the money to back their confidence, too, and eagerly snapped up bets that Bostonians offered at big odds. What Battle Means. Managers, players, experts and fans figured that today's game was the crisis of the series. Victory again for the Braves meant a practical cinch on the championship, while victory for the Athletics meant a return of the confidence that had been slowly oozing away Bince the Braves fell upon Chief Bender in the opening skirmish, and took his scalp to adorn their Wigwam. "The game today was played under Ideal conditions. The weather was Just enough cooler to be comfortable. There was no hint of rain or even a cloud. The blue sky arched over the white concrete stands and green playing field like a great cape of newmade steel. Something of a breeze blew in from somewhere in the winterland, but there was no sting to it. Experts wisely decided that it was a bad day for fly balls. As was to be expected, the speculators were abroad in the land early in the day, and were soaking the loyal fans. Seats were sold for heavy sums, a group of three sold at $60. None of series of three went for less than $30, 0Ad from that up to $45. Police Control Crowd. Three hundred police, all of them cursing under their breath or otherwise, were necessary to keep the frenKied fans in order, when the sale of bleacher seats opened there were about 50,000 applicants for the 19,500 seats, or about two and a half fans for each place. In front of the bleachers were temporary circus seats built up close to a temporary wall, and high on a green bank back of the flag-pole in deep center was standing room for several hundred. Before the last location was discovered by the fans they hit the temporary wall and flattened it out. ten seconds there were five hun-

dred fans on the field and mounted police charged them like a squad of Uhlans. Finally the injured fence was again put on its pins. Braves Take Field. The Braves were greeted with wild yells of applause when they came on the field about 12:30 o'clock. Every play in practice was given an ovation. The Athletics, garbed in their browngray uniforms, took the field at 1 o'clock, and as they ran into their dug-out the fans gave them a loud and impartial welcome. From 1 o'clock on a big band kept the crowd entertained and when it played "This is the Life" the spectators, men and women, joined in the chorus. " ' ' -T--A Bostonian, garbed as a Quaker, made a big hit by parading around wearing a sign which read, "Braves sausages, made from Connie Mack's goat." Incidentally, he carried a big basket of frankfurters. By 1:20 p. m. the grand stands were practically filled. The crowd had come. Nevertheless the fans kept arriving, filling empty places here and there. A large space in left, in the circus seats was re

served for the Royal Rooters. Admits 2,000 More. Just before the game began Jim Gaffney of the Braves, answering the pleas of fans outside the park, ordered that 2,000 fans be sold seats in the bleachers at 50 cents a head. There was a mad rush of fans to get in. After about 2,000 had been admitted the gates were again closed. The fans stood in the aisles in the back part of the bleachers so closely together that they trod continuously on each other's feet. The Boston Royal Rooters, five hundred strong, entered the enclosure, headed by their banner carrier, and the band, and they got a great ovation that was almost as vigorous as that given the ballplayers. They took a position in the stand alongside of third base. Johnny Evers was presented with an automobile just before the game began, while the crowd yelled its approval. The automobile was voted to Evers for being the most valuable player in the National league. First Inning. PHILADELPHIA Murphy doubled along the left field foul line.

FLYING SQUADRON PRIMES 1" TEAMS FOR GETTING MEN Final Instructions to Membership Workers Follow Advertising and Demonstration in Store Window. A flying squadron headed by C. E. Thomason, chairman of the Member ship committee of the Y. M. C. A. visited captains of the membership campaign teams this afternoon, to perfect the organization for opening the campaign tomorrow. "Everything points to a successful campaign, with prospects for a greatly increased membership for the Y," said Secretary Learner today. "Our men have entered this thing with the typical Richmond boosting spirit, and we will fight hard to win the trophy. The Indianapolis association of colored men has dropped out, which leaves twelve associations in the race. Richmond has already covered her handicap, and is no w working on a par basis. The membership committee is putting on an extensive advertising campaign. Posters were distributed among the factories today. An advertising feature that attracted much attention was the physical training demonstration given by Physical Director Roach and members of the Leader Corps in the show window of a Main street store Saturday evening. The "Y ' will hold open house Tues,day night to which the general public is invited. A program including demonstrations of gymnastics, swimming and basketball will be given. The new boys' department will be open for inspection. The membership teams will meet at 7 o'clock Tuesday to receive final instructions and membership application blanks. During the contest a telegraphic report of the standing of the associations entered in the contest, will be received at 8 o'clock. The standing oi the contesting cities will depend on the money received, a new membership counting two points, and an old one counting one point. Only October, November and December renewals will count. The Weather FOR INDIANA Local rain tonight. Colder northwest portion Tuesday. Partly cloudy and cooler. TEMPERATURE Noon 66 Yesterday.

World's Series Played in City. Baseball fans are seeing the world's series in front of the Palladium office and at the bulletin stations where each play is telephoned as soon as it is made. There Is not the loss of three seconds in the transmissions. The crowd in front of the Palladium office was so large Saturday and today that a patrolman had to keep open a passage for pedestrians. Megaphone Service. The International News Service is the only news service in Richmond that gets the results strike by strike, and ball by ball. The other service receives merely the result of the batter's activity. As a result hundreds of fans at the cigar stores on Main street and in frcnt of the Palladium office follow each swing of the batter. For instance, if a ball is called by the umpire, the Palladium service tells whether it was too wide, near, high or low. If a strike is made, the report tells whether the batter swung at the ball or if the umpire called the marker. These details are not given by the other news service operating in Richmond. Patrons of this service in other cities fake the plays in an effort to compete. As soon as the operator in the Palladium office gets a play, it is transmitted to the crowd outside by megaphone. So tense was the excitement Saturday and today, so detailed the Palladium report that the crowd cheered as if it were really seeing the game, when some play struck a popular chord.

Speed. When it comes to speed, every news service in the country willingly concedes-that the fnternational News Service cannot be beaten. Hearst has the fastest telegraph operators and the quickest wires in the country. Only those who have had no experience in news bureau work try to gainsay the Hearst advantage. There are no two minute delays, but the play is flashed at once, and fans in this city know it, for the telephone report in a downtown cigar store was minutes ahead of the laborious bulletin service of the other service. Fans want speed on the world's series. That's why the Palladium has been and is the center of the bugs. The popularity of the two services is best judged by the crowds who have gathered In front of the two newspaper offices each day to secure the returns. Saturday a half dozen persons gathered at an afternpon newspaper's office, while the policeman had to keep the sidewalk open in front of the Palladium. Accuracy. Plank struck out six men Saturday. The Palladium report said so. It was apparent to even the most disinterested person who read the returns by innings that Plank struck out more than two men, which the opposition service gave in its "official" score. The opposition also credited Mclnnis, first baseman, with no put outs and seven assists, whereas he had seven putouts and no assists. Errors in judgment are bound to occur in both services, but such an eggregious blunder has not been made by the International News Service this season.

It also reports that all Russian attacks in the eastern theatre of war have been repulsed. The statement follows: "A French cavalry division was com pletely routed at Lille on Saturday with severe losses. The situation in France continues favorable to the German armies, and they are making gains at several points. "The fall of Antwerp permits the transfer of troops engaged there to other points on the front.

The official German news agency oiaico luai mc uri Uldud, 1U11UW lug UJ their success at Antwerp, are now marching on Ghent, from which the inhabitants are fleeing. Operations have also been begun against Belfort. the French fortress on the Alsatian frontier. The announcement of the war office was based on the following detailed report from the German general staff: "German cavalry on the evening of Saturday completely routed a Franch cavalry division west of Lille and near Habebrouck (28 miles northwest of Lille and 50 miles southwest of Ostend). They inflicted heavy losses on another French cavalry division. Results Lacking. "Up to the present the engagements on the front in the western theatre of war have not led to decisive results. Information is still lacking as to the booty taken at Antwerp, nor can the number of Belgian troops who crossed the Dutch frontier be fixed. "In the eastern theatre the Germans repulsed in the north all attacks by the First and Fourth Russian armies on Friday and Saturday. Russia's outflanking efforts have also been repulsed. The Russians lost one thousand prisoners." KELLY TO ADDRESS : ENGLISH LUTHERAN MEN'S CLUB FEAST Earlham President Replaces John L. Zimmerman as Speaker at Banquet at Opening of Synod Meeting.
