BY FRANO. MENKE. BRAVES, FIELD, BOSTON, Oct. 12. A crowd seemingly larger that the record smasher of yesterday, turned out this afternoon to whoop things up ;for the Red Sox in this, the fourth nd crucial game against the Phillies for the baseball championship of the Iworld. - I lt was another beautiful day for a all game, cool, crispy and sunshiny, and the crowd came arely to watch the work-cuts. The Phillies devoted the major portion of their time to batting practice under the direction of Pat Moran, and they whowed up like a team of sluggers in the preliminary clubbing. The bleachers were filled nearly three hours before the game began, and when the band arrived on the job the fifteen thousand bleacherltes sang the chorus of the songs that were played and sang them well. The players were gladdened by the news that the national commission had sanctioned a barnstorming trip of the two teams to the Pacific coast, beginning Sunday, October 24. The schedule callB for the playing of the first game in Chicago on that date; games in Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake; seven games in San Francisco, nd two in Los Angeles. It is expected each player will get from $1,000 to $1,500 for the trip. . When the Phillies went through the final batting practice, Pat Moran stationed himself behind the pitchers, di- . recting the delivery and spurring his lnflelders to greater efforts in handling grounders. It was the first time during the series that Moran has appeared within the diamond to direct operation.

MAN'S CREW DISAPPOINTING BASEBALL FANS

BY FRANK Q. MENKE. BOSTON, Oct. 12. On this, the an niversary of Chris Columbus' . little stunt of discovering America and ad Jacent real estate, the tribe of Pat Moran was hopeful of discovering its lost batting eye. With . their back against the wall, because the count was 2 to 1 against them, and because their best pitching bet was hors de combat for another twenty-four or forty-eight hours, the Quakers have come to a full realization that only desperate battling from now on will save them from being annihilated by the onrushing Red Sox. The beating suffered by the Phillies yesterday did not seem to dishearten them.' i . ' "Some men fight better with their back to the wall fight with more grimness and success than when all things are equal." So spoke Pat Moran, and he voiced the sentiments of his entire squad.

JOHNS GETS RELEASE FROM BOND OF $500 Daniel Johns, who was arrested in April on a charge of perjury, was released from his $600 bond by Prosecutor Roller and Judge Fox this morning and . will be allowed to go on his own recognizance. Johns, who. lives in Marlon, Ind., was arrested for making a false affidavit before Cecil Clark, formerly an attorney in Richmond who mysteriously disappeared several weeks ago. ! . Because of ' the disappearance of Clark, Prosecutor Reller has been unable to bring the case to trial and since Johns was badly in need of the $600, which . was furnished as cash bond, the prosecutor thought that the money should be returned to him nn his promise to appear in circuit court on Bummons.

Farmers of Indiana to Select Gorn for Seed Next Friday

Indiana farmers will celebrate 'Octo ber 15 by selecting seed corn. This day has been designated as the one on which all farmers and corn growers of the state should plan to go into the fields and select a sufficient supply, of high-grade seed - corn for the next years' crop. Owing to the unusual cold and wet weather the present crop has matured slowly. Much of the con. Is still green. If farmers are to secure seed strong in vitality it is absolutely necessary that they select same from the field before the time of heavy frosts. Experiments conducted at the Purdue experiment station show that corn selected before the time of heavy frosts germinate 100 per cent while corn selected at time of the general harvest In November germinated only 86 per cent This fact has been demonstrated over and over again in Indiana until there

Is no longer any question but that the early selected seed is the best In a recent letter to Governor Ralston the Indiana Corn Growers' association states: "The 1916 Indiana corn crop can be increased 25.000,000 bushels if tne seed is selected this fall before. the time of heavy frosts and is properly saved during; the winter.
