BOSTON RED SOX TAKE PENNANT IN SIXTH GAME American Leaguers Carry Off World Championship Won Four of Games Played. BOSTON, Sept. 12. The Boston Red Sox are the 1918 champions of the world. - They captured the crown at Fenway park Wednesday by defeating the Cubs in the sixth game of the aeries, 2 to 1. Of the six contests played the American League pennant winner captured four, the National League representative being returned victors twice. "The breaks" decided every battle, and Boston was the favored son of Dame Fortune. Boston has never lost a world's series. There have been fifteen title contests, the first starting in 1903. and the Red Sox have been returned the victor dn five, while the Braves, in 1914, won their only cut in the annual Jimmy Collins piloted the Red Sox to their, first win in 1903. his team capturing five of the eight games played with the Pirates. The same team won the pennant again in 1904, but the Giants refused to face them for the championship of the world. In 1912 Jake Stahl piloted the Red Sox to victory, eight games being necessary before the crown was finally placed on the proper head. The Braves cut in and upheld the honor of Boston in 1904, George Stalllngs leading his men to four straight over the Athletics, a team that was believed to be unbeatable. Bill Carrigan was at the helm of the Red Sox that took four out of five from the Phillies In 1915. The same leader directed the same team to four out of five from the Dodgers in 1916, and Ed Barrow joined the ranks of his successful predecessors today. It was Mack Flack, the midget light fielder, who presented today's game, and with it the title, to the Red Sox. It was on the same kind of a fly ball that Fred Snodgrass muffed on the same grounds in 1912, thereby taking a championship from the Giants right at a time when they appeared to have it sewed up. Flack's horrible error gave the Red Sox both of their runs. But for it the Cubs would have been returned the winner 1 to 0 and put themselves on even terms with the Red Sox.

If the Natcos lose they will then be tied with the Simplexers for first place and the winner of the Sunday game will be . the league "champs." The other two teams are out of the running and all they can do is to fight for cellar championship The Natcos have defeated the Simplexers twice and vice versa The Natcos are the favorites to win Saturday's game but the Jenkins men have a way of somlng back, and winning that should give the National Automatics some little trouble.

High School Orchestra is Organized With 5$ Players

The Richmond High School orchestra has been organized for 1918-1919, with a promising personnel of 53 pupils, making a complete orchestration, according to Director Ralph Sloane. "I think we can have a splendid orchestra this year, as good if not better than we have had in former years. The sections are well grouped and I have some mighty good players," he said Thursday morning. Sloane stated that the orchestra will probably be invited to play out of town this year as in former years and if they go it will be necessary to re duce the full orchestra and take only a picked number on account of transportation costs and general conditions. Following are the names of those accepted for this year: First Violins. Mary Jones, C. M., Stella Knode, Margaret Wlssler, Grace Barton, sec'y, Roland Keys, Helen Addleman, Mary Bates, Ralph Giles, Malvern Soper, Howard Deltrich, Corwin Brown, Mozell Hunter. Second Violins. Irene Jara, Virgil LaFuse, Martha Webb, Roy Robblns, Charlotte Colvin, John Black, Catherine Carr, Iris Cook, Paul Swayne, Emlies Parker, Elmer Bescher, Omer Monger. WAR WORK WILL BE TAUGHT AT NIGHT SCHOOLS IN CITY Registration of night school students will be held on October 1 and 2. Phillip E. Molter, vocational director announced Thursday. At a war conference which was held at the Claypool Hotel Wednesday and which Mr. Molter attended, J. P. Monroe spoke on the need of trained mechanics in France for the coming drive. He stated that there will be a need for a million and a half mechanics in the next few months and the only way to get the men is to start night schools over the country. There are but 600,000 men that can be secured from the colleges and there are about 800,00 more left to train. If these men are taken from industry there will be a great lack of men and this will slow up the war program, he stated. He suggested that night schools be formed for men of draft age but that older men who are trained mechanics be allowed to enroll. The most urgent need is for tractor men, gas engine men, machinist repairmen, woodworkers, sheet metal workers, electricians, welders and blacksmiths. The night school here will have the following war courses: Telephoning, radio buzzer work, blacksmithlng, machine Bhop work, woodworking, drafting and automobile ignition. Besides these courses there are 38 others and courses will be offered in any subject for which there is any demand. Mr. Molter was the head of the gunsmiths' school at Indianapolis and all the schools held there in thi3 line were organized and directed by him. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Germans Are Beginning to Agree that Yankees Are Better Fighters Mrs. Nannie A. Helmes, C08 South Sixth street, has received a letter from her son. James M. Holmea, who is with a field hospital In France. Holmes waa sent over in June. 1917. "We are not running a hospital at the present," he says, "for this division is a little ways back from the front in a rest camp. Believe me some of the boys need a rest. Although you hardly ever heard any complaining about the work, Jt has been going at a pretty lively gate for a while. Every one tried to do his part. "The Americans did very good work and expect to do better. Our soldiers are far better than the Germans, and I think the Germans are beginning to think that too. Every time he sees that little piece of steel 6hining, he begins to yell 'Kamerad.' " Mrs. HOlmea has another eon who is located at Ft. Sill. Okla. COLLEGE HEADS TO ADAPT COURSES TO WAR NEEDS President Edwards of Earlham college has left for Plainfield. where he will attend the Yearly Meeting held there.

Also adapting the courses of study to meet war needs, was discussed. This was of vital interest to Earlham, since the entire program of the college this winter will place constructive war work first, and the course of study will include every subject possible for Red Cross work, Y. M. C. A. leaders secreterial positions, and other patriotic work. A meeting of the faculty to discuss the adjustment of the program has been called for Monday afternoon.

This means that many available soldiers will have barely two weeks at home. District boards had endeavored, to work out every detail of the plan so there would be no delay In certifying registrants, thousands of whom will be given deferment because of the importance of the labors in which they are engaged.: This was regarded as one of the most difficult features and one which required intelligent consideration, for the government has plannned with the idea of sending a steady flow of men to army cantonments without disturbing essential industries. Drawing in Three Weeks. The drawing to fix the relative standing of the 13,000.000 will not take place under three weeks, perhaps, but meanwhile district boards will start at once numbering serially all of the cards filled out today. Questionnaires immediately will be sent to men of the 19-37 class, while older men will be classified later. By Saturday night, General Crowder confidently expects to have the exact figures showing the total registration. This may run above or below the approximate estimate of 13,000,000, but careful study placed that as substan tlally correct. The same good order that prevailed on June 5 a year ago for the first registration was looked for, with a greater number to be registered. 350,000 IN STATE INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 12. More than 350,000 men between the ages of 18 and 46, who had not registered for army service previously were expected to enroll in Indiana today in the 3,200 registration places designated for the purpose. Thousands of men registered before they went to work. All reports of the registration in the state are expected to be in the office of Major Robert C. Baltzell, state conscription agent by tomorrow evening. Instructions have been given to rush the reports to him as rapidly as available. Some may be received sometime tonight. NEW YORK ANSWERS CALL NEW YORK, Sept. 12. With flags flying trom thousands of buildings, this Wall Street exchanges and the public schools closed and great manufacturing establishments granting part tim9 off to their men employes, registration day in New York assumed a holiday aspect. Draft officials estimated that fully 900,000 men would be registered here in 1,200 polling places by 12,000 volunteer registrars. In New York state, it was estimated, 1,300,000 men would be enrolled, or one-tenth of the nation's total registration.

Fox star does things that no one else can do so well, and 6he. does them in a way that no one else would do them. Primarily she is a beautiful woman of dramatic instinct and sensibility. She is a consummate actrees who is ever pleasing in her work, and always convincing. She can show the terrible and desperate creature who knows no mercy and is capable of wrecking men's lives to add an ounce of pleasure to her own. She can be the heartless wanton that belongs to the same class as the deadly vampire. The souls of men are to her but trivial things if needed to serve her ends. Such a woman as this does she portray in the brilliant new William Fox play, "The Bird of Prey," in which she Is the star. At the Murrette today. MUSIC THAT CHARMS
