A mamnioth crowd was in attendance. Burns scored he only tally for the, losers on Bancroft's single. The de- feat of Alexander has given the Bos- ton hopes of the pennant. Not a Cloud in Sky. It was a wonder day, too, with not a cloud in the sky. An Indian sum- mer sun by noon had driven away the chill in the early morning air. 'The waters of the historic Charles river, running beyond the park, rippled in a lazy autumn breeze- ' Never were conditions more ideal for a contest between the titjed wth- aletes of the two big baseball leagues and the outpouring of the explosive Boston fans early gave promise of a record breaking throng. Always one of the most enthusiastic ball towns in the country, Boston was in a delirium of joy today over the prospect of a game that was expected to be a turn- ing point in the great series that be- gan in Philadelphia last Friday and was interrupted there on Saturday with honors even. Faith in Alexander.

Loyal Supporters Doubled. The Sox had all the advantage that goes with the home crowd and there were more than double the loyal sup- porters on hand to cheer them than the Phillies could crowd into their yard on Broad street. But the playing itself was stranger to the Sox than to the Phillies, this home of the Braves having been se- lected in place of the American league park because of its superior accom- modations. Cheer For Red Sox. A mighty cheer greeted the Boston players when they appeared in the field a little after 1 o’clock and began their batting practic Manager Car- rigan sent one of his numerous left handers, Vean Gregg, to the hurling hill to give his club some practice at batting the offerings of a port sider in the event that Manager Moran of the Philadelphia team should unex- pectedly call his erratic hand flinger, Eppa Rixey to the pitching slah. Hardly had the Philadelphia club come upon the field than Manager Moran began to warm up Rixey to see how his curves were breaking. “If Rixey can get that quick curve breaking right,” said, Manager Moran, “he’ll have the Red Sox throwing away their bats. Anyhow, it looks like Alexander, as my pitching selec- tion today. Have Batting Practice. Manager Moran was confident that his club would have to face “Dutch” Leonard, the star southpaw of the Red Sox. Accordingly he motioned Rixey to go out and give the club some batting practice. Bancroft took his position at the plate, and batted right handed, and this brought up only one left handed batsman, Luder- us in {.*: Philadelphia batting order.

RAILROAD MAN'S SON KILLED BY MINISTER New Orleans Rector Shoots Youth Thinking He Was a Burglar. Oct. 11.—The Rev. Byron Holley, rector of St. George's Episcopal Church, one of the most fashionable congregations in the city, early shot and killed Lansing Pear- sall, son of a prominent railroad man here. Dr. Holley telephoned police headquarters that he had shot a man in the rectory study. The minister told the police that while in is office he heard some one in his study ad- joining. Taking a pistol he stepped into the study and saw a man near the door.. “The intruder did ngot answer my questions as to who P was and what he wanted,”” Dr. Holley said, “and when I ordered him out he made a motion as if to draw a weapon. I fired and the man fell.” Several hours later the man was identified at the morgue by Nathan G. Pearsall, claim agent of the Texas & Pacific Railroad as his son Lansing, twenty-two years old. No reason | for the young man's presence in the | rectory could be given by his parents or friends. Dr. Holley sald he never had seen Pearsall before. Police found a window in the rec- tory parlor had been opened. Young Pearsall lived several blocks from the Holley home on the next street. New Orleans, STRIKERS BACK AT WORK. Torrington, Oct. 11.—A score of po- | licemen were stationed at the gates of the Hendey Machine plant from 6:30 to 7 o’clock this morning to protect any strikers who might desire to re- | turn to work under conditions which had been offered by the company and rejected by the strikers. Notice of the nitended action of the police was published Saturday. Only fifteen strikers, however, returned to work. Their was no disord The strike is now in its sixth week. EARTH SHOCK IN EUROPE.

Paris, Oct. 11, 3:12 a. m.—A Havas despatch from Athens filed Sunday says: “The text of the declaration which the government will submit tomorrow | to the chamber has been completed by the council of ministers and will be submitted by Premier King Constantine today for his signa- ture. “The liberal deputies will decide to- morrow what shall be the attitude of that party in the chamber. Accord- ing to information obtained from the supporters of M. Venizelos, who con- trols a majority of the chambe:, he will attempt to avoid a ffesh crisiz but is unwilling to assume responsibility for the policy of the Zaimis cabinet. The liberal party, therefore, will as- sist the government to obtain a quorum and will facilitate legislation, but is not disposed to grant the gov- ernment a vote of confidence. On the other hand the government will not ask the liberal party to share respon- sibility for a policy which it has not adopted. “Information received from Sa- loniki confirms reports that antl war demonstrations have taken place at | Varna and Rustchuk, Bulgaria.” OAKEY TO GIVE ADDRESS Congressman to Sptak at Meeting of Northend School Association Congressman P.

London, 4:30 p. m.—Attacks by the Austro-German forces which are invading Serbit are proceeding to the south of Belgrade, it s officially announced today. The announcement adds that the cressing of the Danube by the in- veding forces had been captured. Meeting Stubborn Resistance. London, Oct. 11, 1:08 p, m.—The Austro-German armies which, with the help of their giant 305 millimetre guns, crossed the Danube and Save rivers and occupied Belgrade, are meeting with stubborn resistance at the Serbian advance defenses but have rot yet come in contact with the main Serbian forces. The Serbians’ plan of campaign de- pends considerably upon the amosnt of assistance they will receive from allied troops, but it is not believed that they will attempt, in any event, t¢ make a decided stand north of the mountain range near Kraguyevalz, which they already have proved to be a line offering superb facilities for defense. Serbia Strongly United, Telegrams from the Balkans, though not minimizing the seriousness ition, reflect a tone of cheerful confidence in the ability of the allies ultimately to check the Austro-German invasion and success- ful meet any further attack from side of Bulgaria. The national danger, says these telegrams, has united Serbia as never before, and throughout the country men physical- ly unfit for the regular army and women and old men are arming for the defense of their country. The population of Macedonian Ser- bia has gathered into bands with the object of repulsing a possible Bulgar- iar attack. In addition to 300,000 soldiers, a million Serbians of both sexes and all ages are said to be ready to dispute all attempts at Austro-Ger- man-Bulgarian conquest. Puzzling Military Writers.
