Chalmers and Shore were pitted against each other and both did yoeman service. The Sox heavy artillery spelled defeat for the Philadelphias. Barry was passed in the third in- ning and this free gift netted the first Sox run. Lewis two-based the ball in the sixth with Hoblitzel on the aths and the second and declding n came across. ‘“Cactus” Cravath, who has been aiming at the center fleld fence for the past two days, hit the ball for three sacks in the eighth and scored on Luderus’ single. Du- gey broke into the game in the eighth, running for Luderus. He . stole the only sack of the contest. Whitted went to first base as a re- uit of this substitution and Becker ent to left fleld. In the eighth Boston had the bases fllled but a rat- tling double play retired the side. Crowd Breaks Record. ‘While yesterday's crowd was the largest ever gathered for a world's series baseball game, it was early evi- dent that today’'s throng was to break 11 previous records. It was a holl- day in Boston and three hours before the game started the field stands were jammed to their capacity and there ‘was a line of fans a quarter of a mile long outside the grounds hoping to get the privilege of standing room. For this fourth game of the 1915 series there was doubt during the morning as to the batteries that would pose each other. Moran Is Confident. ““We are going to even it up to- day,” said Manager Pat Moran, of the Phillles, “and go back home for the fifth game tomorrow with the count standing two and two. I am net sure at this hour who will be my pitching selection, but you can say for me that hether it is Chalmers, Rixey or ayer he will be out there to win and the Sox will find run-making a dif- ficult pastime.” “We have the series clinched and will make it three to one in our favor today,” said Manager Carrigan of -he Boston Red Sox. “I have three : od %‘:Chers ready and anxious to their turn in the box and it is hard They all Up their ® g g Q to choose between have a winning sleeves.” Another Perfect Day. them. game It was another perfect day with not | a cloud fleck in the sky, and a sum mer glow in the atmosphere. thousands of Boston fans came cut today to have a good time. There e all sorts of rooters’ organizations here and they were all in evidence to- day. Most of them brought bands with them and there was a crash of music in the air alli the.time. Oc- casionally the crash became a clush, ‘but the fans did not mind the meloJic interference- but applauded all the musical specialties with unstinted en- thusiasm. A Secotch bag pipe band made a hit, while a lone cornetist in he far right field stand offered ", jodic solos that,/were boisterously " peceived.

Make no misui.e Alexander a wonderful pitcher, even if the Red Sox trimmed hin..” New Mental Adjustment, The balance of the series having swung in favor of the Red Sox two games to one by their ninth inning victory yesterday, the contending nines went into the fourth tilt today with a new mental adjustment. The Phillies were forced into a defensive position, in which they were beset by an all-important question, a prob- lem of pitching., The iconoclastic Red Sox had weakened their faith in the pitching prowess of the Quaker idol Alexander, who was felled from his high place vesterday before the swing of Boston When he top- pled, the Bostons moved into an ad- vantage which forced upon Manager Moran the necessity of finding a s cessor for the dominant part Alexander had filled in his paizn plans for the world champion- ship. P Although the Boston lead was only a single game, the problem the Philly leader was no simple one.

Paris, Oct. , 11:40 a. m.—Bulgar- | ian troops invaded Serbia last night. Opening of hositlities against Ser- bia by Bulgaria has been a foregone conclusion since the rupture between Bulgaria and the allies. In fact, Bulgarian government issued a mani- festo to the nation last week pro- claiming its dccision to espouse the Austria and Tur- key.

Kniashevatz, near which point the Bulgarians are reported to have in- vaded Serbia, is on a branch line rail- road running from Nish to Zajecar, a fortified town on the Serblan fron- tier, and Negotin on the Danube. Kniashevatz is twenty-five miles capital of Serbia since the Austrian occupation of Belgrade early in the war.

The rremier added that the future course of the ministry will be adopted to meet events as they occur, and ex- pressed the belief that the govern- ment’s course has the support of the reople. In reply, former Premier Venizelos said: “No one could wish to create inter- nal difficulties in the country in vipw of the present extremely critical situa- tion.

Reported stories to the effect that the striking machinists at the New Briain Machine company are return- ing to work in large numbers are un- true, say Charles Carlson and Frank Walters, two of the strike leaders. Mr. Carlson states that of the 700 skilled mechanics who went out four weeks ago not more than ten have returned to work. The others who are working at the factory are not skilled men or men who can be rightly termed machinists, he says. “Any settlement that is to be made must be made in our favor for we are out to fight to a finish” Mr. Carlson continued. Already 200 of the skilled hands who left the Machine shop have been placed in better positions in other cities about the state and unless the company effects a settlement within a week 300 more will be placed else- where so that the local concern will not secure their services again, it is claimel. Mr. Carlson states that he and his fellow-strikers appreclate the moral support given them by other factory men about the city. In the other factories about the city the strike situation 1is unchanged, men returning daily to their former employment. PARENTS IN PRISO!
