FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA JOE WOOD AGAIN | the five games played. | Carroll Brown pitched for the world's Boston Slabman Twirls Wonderful Ball—Great Speed and Fine Control—Wagner Plays Sensational Game at Short —Tesreau in Good Form After First Few Innings— ‘Winning Team Players to Receive $4,000 Each. New York, Oct. 11.—The Bostons, pennant winners of the American league, were victors today over the New York National league champions by a score of 3 to 1 in the fourth game of the world's series. The Red Sox have now won two games of the series, and the Giants one game, the second contest having ended in a tie. More than 36,000 people jammed in the confines of the Brush stadium, saw simon-pure baseball In a contest to- day that thrilled inning by inning. Both teams played In true form and the nervousnegs shown by the players in the early contests was not observed. Too Much Speed for Giants. “Smoky” Joe Wood shone again, and the Red Sox players fairly hugged their star boxman as he walked from the playing fleld with his second victory over the New York club dangling from his belt. Gray clouds screened the sun, and in the murky atmosphere Wood's speed ball worked havoc with the Giants’ batting. Only once was a Glant batter able to gauge the Bos- ton man’s curves for a hit when a hit meant a run. The infleld was wet from a night's rain and Wood stood on the hurling mound for nine Innings with a pile of sawdust beside him to dry the ball before each delivery to the plate, His service was without blemish or flaw, not one man being passed, while eight Giants walked to the plate and then walked back agaln after vainly try- ing to read the riddle of the Boston boxman's mystifylng drop balls and fast inshoots. “How can we hit what we cannot see?” asked “Red” Murray, when he walked to the bench after fanning for the second time. Wood was only in trouble in two innings, in the sixth and again in the seventh, when the home club’s only run came over the plate. The sixth showed Wood at his best. Jabbed a hit to left and Devore bounc- ed a drive off Wood's ankle for a base before anyone was out. The stands were wild with ‘excitement and tried to rattle the Boston pitcher. But Wood was as cool as a Labrador iceberg in March. He caused Larry Doyle to pop out and then fed Snodgrass and Mur- ray on quick-breaking down shoots, making those Giant hitters send weak rollers to the Red Sox infleld. Boston broke into the run column on the second when Gardner tripled and #cored on Tesreau's wild heave of a moist ball. The second run came in the fourth when Stahl reached first on a forced hit, stole second, went to third on an infleld out and home on Cady’s drive. Boston made its third run in the ninth. Gardner singled, was sacrificed to second by Stahl, took third on an infleld out and tallied on Joe Woods' single. The Giants’ only 'run was scored in the seventh by Herzog on his own single to center and Fletcher's two- bagger to right fleld. | Wagner Plays Great Ball, A New York boy broke the hearts of the Giant partisans. He is Heine Wag- ner, the Red Sox shortstop, whose plays today robbed the Giants of three hits. Two of his stops of smashes over second were made with one hand on the dead run. Then, half turning, he snapped his throws to first base ahead of the runners by a step. ‘With one run needed to tie in the 8ped by second base, for a hit meant & good start for the final rally. Wag: ner raced over the bag, scooped the ball with his gloved hand and snapped the ball to first without recovering his balance, The fleet Devore was out by ingches. Yerkes and Fletcher also starred in flelding plays, while Murray robbed Hooper of a three-base hit at the be- ginning of the fifth inning. Running back to the concrete wall the Giant right fielder leaped Into the air and clutched the ball with one hand. Tesreau did not get into his pitching Tesreau |/ stride until the Red Sox had made tw runs. | turned the Bostons back in one, two, was taken out only to allow a pinch hitter to bat for him. There were thirteen strike outs dur- out twice, and Lewis, Stahl and Wag- ner once each. On the New York side, Murray and Merkle were fanned twice and Devore, Snodgrass, Meyers and strike-out route. - Players Divide $147,572.28. ‘With today’s game the players cease $147,572.28, breaking the record es- tablished by the New York and Phil- adelphia clubs last year, when the players’ share amounted to $127,910.61. The winning players this year will re- lceive $88,548.37 and the losers $59,028 - 190. Individually each of the winn and the losers about $2,800. There were few preliminaries to the game here today and Umpire Rigler called “Play ball” one minute after the scheduled hoyr, alr was heavy with moisture and the ast night. - 0 After that he tightened up and in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings three ordef.

Uhlan and Lewis Forrest Set Mark of 2.031-4 for Pair. Lexington, Ky., O¢t. 11.—Another worlds record was broken at the trot- ting meeting here tonight, when Uhlan, 1.58, and Lewis Forrest, 2.06 1-4, own- ed by C. K G. Billings, were sent out to lower the record for a pair of trot- ters to & pole. The original record stood at 2.07 3-4 until the pair of fam- ous trotters made the mile in 2.031-4; thus clipping off four and one-half sec- onds. The horses.were sent away on the second scoring, and it was evident al- most trom the first quarter that the record would be shattered. Not a break was made during the trial, both ‘horses working like machines. The racing card was featured by the pacing divislon of the Kentucky Futurity for 3 year old pacers with a valuation of $2000. This event was won after four heats by Anna Axme, by Ask Me Not. Thll‘qunb Httle filly went to the post a heavily backed fav- orite, but put her backers on the un- easy list when she broke soon after the #tart in the first heat and finished fourth, However, she came back strong and captured the next three healts in_easy styls.

Boston, Oct. 11.—Promise of falr weather for tomorrow’'s fifth game be- tween the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants in the world's series was held out tonight by Officlal Fore- caster Smith. Showers during the day and early evening made the out- look for tomorrow's game dismal. but when the weather man had looked over late telegraphic reports on weath- er conditions, he said that while rain was headed east it might be delayed until Saturday night or Sunday. He predicted fair weather for tomorrow. In spite of a fine drizzle of rain, which fell this afternoon, the crowds which watched the progress of today's game by the bulletin board reports Wwere almost as great as thoss which have been out for the previous games of the serles. Boston’s victory was cheered tumultuously, Smoky Joe Wood coming in for especial applause, Boston baseball enthusiasts hope that Wood, who has won both his games away from home, may yet pitch against the New York team at Fen- way park. Should temorrow’s game be postponed, it was thought probable that Manager Stahl would send Wood back at the Giants en Mohday. 0'Loughlin; Athletics Win City Championship. Philadelphia, Oct. 11.—The Philadel- phia Americans won the local cham- plonship here today by defeating the Philadelphia Nationals in the fifth game of v..be interleague series by b to FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL UNLOADING AMERICAN STOCKS. Enormous Sales in Foreign Markets Because of Balkan News. New York, Oct. 11.—The foreign sit- uation loomed larger on the financial horizon today. Ovérnight news was largely of an alarming temor, ani these advices were followed by enor- mous sales of American stocks in Lon- don, Paris and Berlin.. The German and French capitals were centers of demoralization, and London, as usual, had to bear the brunt of their heavy outpourings. Sales here for European account were estimated at 100,000 shares, but there is authority for say- ing that the total liquidation was much in excess of those figures, as many large blocks of stocks were tak- en over by American bankers in direct purchase. Apropos of this phase of the situation, it is obvious that any further selling of our securities by the forelgners must seriously affect our credits abroad, even though a pro- longed confiict in the Balkans should cause extra heavy exports of our foodstuffs. Canadian Pacific was the storm cen- ter of the market. declining eight points in Berlin, closing with half that loss in London, and opening here with a_ decline of practically flve points. Trom this level it made some recov- ery, only to sell lower with the balance of the market In the late afternoon, and closing with a net loss of 10 3-4 pointe. Union Pacific was weakest of the leaders, but the Hill issues, Grangers, U. 8. Steel and Coppers were only slightly less affected, the range of losses in some of these issues approximating three polnts in the last hour, Private discounts were above the bank rate in London, and private ca- bles tc international bankers predict an early advance to 5 per cent. by that institution next week. lBt;‘nda 'Fe‘re‘ weiuk in sympathy wita stocks, 'otal sales, par value, aggre. gated $2,126,000. i United States government ‘were unchanged on call. bonds Agrioutural .

Chicago American National League Clubs Fight to Standstill. Chicago, Oct, 11.—With the score tied, 3 to 3, the second game of the series between the Chicago American and National league clubs was called today in the twelfth inning because of darkness. The game was the second tle in the series, the opening contest Tuesday ending without a score. Lord and Weaver collided at full speed In center fleld in the eighth in- ning, when each was trying for Mil- ler's hit. They were knocked uncon- sclous and both had to be carried from the fleld. Lord quickly recover- ed, but Weaver was in a_ dazed con- difion for several hours. He probably will be out of the game for several days. £ ;:hnson, a recruit, who took Weav- er's place at short, enabled the White Sox to tle up the game In the ninth inning, after the Cubs had taken the lead in the elghth. With Borton on first, Johnson tripled, scoring him. Fasterly followed with a triple, his fourth hit of the game, and brought Johnson home with the tleing run.

Football coaches this season have| given practically little or no inkling of | ward pass. Last year the play was a flat failure, and the rules committee: were confronted with the necessity of | elther abolishing the play altogether or removing most of the restrictions from it. Without doubt the total elimina- | tion of the play would have heen high- ly satisfactory to the football world, but on account of other changes a fraction of the committee insisted up- | on a compromise. For this reason the| forward pass was retalned, but the 20| . | veards’ restriction was removed, so that the forward pass if properly cx ccuted 18 legal, no matter how fast it | salle. {1t is quite certain that the deyelop-| ?ment of the game will be along two| distinol _ lines this year, with the chances “that there will be more gen- eral condemnation of the forward pass altt the end of the season than ever be- fore. The retention of the play meaps | that those teams which use it will de- | velop the extraordinarily long forward | passes such as featured the game when former residents take advantage of the events to returp and renew ac- quaintances.

So| skilfully did the Indians execute this| play that there was practically no de- | fense for it. -Indeed, many of the big teams suffered humiliating defeat at tklze hands of the Indians using this' play. It was immediaitely seen that the cle-i fense could not be developed suffi- | ciently to protect a team against this ' play and enable it to dgvelop a de-| fense for straight football. As a re-| sult the play was restricted in various ways until it was made illegal to exe- cute a forward pass of more than 20| yards in length. In addition to a re-| turn to old and long passes football | men have perhaps a greater room for | development with the extra down which hes been given in meke 10 yards. The best informed men ere convinoed last yoar that tne aagi- |JOTing and a wide choice of tion of this extra down was all that | the game needed to restore it to its | popularity, and at the same time to, kéep down the danger of injuries.| There is no question that the rushing' game under the nmew rules will afford greater poseibilities than the practically | unrestrioted forward pass. The first/| games of the season, therefore, are practically sure to be featured by line plunging with variations in the shape of end runs and the forward pass. The | ‘big teams, in particular, are likely to revel in the opportunity to once more | make use of the line plunging game. STAFFORD FAIR. Proving One of the Most Successful Ever Given by the Association—En- | tertainment Features — Friday’s | Races—Auto Parade Today. The officers of the Stafford Fair as- | sociation were in right with the | weather man Thursday and he hand- ed them one of the finest autumn days in stock. Indeed it seemed almost that it had been made to order. The rain of Wednesday night ond gearly Thursday morning was sufficient to seitle the dust in good shape and when | the races were called in tae afterncon the track was in exc: condition. Thureday was Children’ day, tle schincds closing at nocn and all chil- dren of school age were admitted to the grounds free. They seemed to realize that the day was theirs and young America never was in a happier mood than when the 500 children en- thusiastically applauded the various events on the programme. The Stafford Fair association al- ways endeavor to secure good music as an adjunct to the fair and this year Colt's band of Hartford is here. Midway Busy. Never were so many tents on the midway as this year. Shows of many varfeties are here in sufficient num- bers to cater to all classes und thLe showmen had a busy day yesterday. The association makes every possible effort to keep out all {llegitimate games and when one does creep in it is_short lived after discovery by the officfals. The exhibitors in the main hall were more or less incomplete Thursday but by Friday they were in place and a splendid exhibition it is. Fine Exhibits. The produce of the farm and garden seemed to be larger than usuxl in va- viety and the size of some ~f tne ap- ples, potatoes and corn have never been exceeded at the local fair. Entertainment. The stage performance was all to the good. Things were kept moving and the variovs acts between the rac- ing heats kept the audieace in gucd humor. The merry-go-round had a busy day Thursday on account of the large attendance of children and the Ferris wheel also came In for a jood share of patronage. Wild West Show. The Wild West show occuples a large tent on the center of the ground and was one of the chief attractions on Thursday. The fortune tellers, Af- rican dodgers, cane ringers are all here. The eating tents on the ground are more numerous than usual and the large dining room under the main hall is being well patronized.
