Booth Rowland 9 RED SOX TIGHTEN Boston, Sept. 9—The Boston Amer- icans got the big edge in the world series by beating the Chicago Nation- als in a mad scramble for the fourth game today by a score'of 8 to 2. This gives the Red Sox a lead of 3 to 1 in the series, and it is necessary now for them to win only one more game te make them the war-time baseball champions of the world. Both teams departed from letter perfect baseball for the first time since their meeting, and the explo- sions which resulted kept the fans in furore of old-time big series excite- ment. Babe Ruth, Boston's big southpaw and slugger extraordinary, led the first bombing party which apparently wrecked the Cub machine for good and all, but was hoisted by his own petard in the eighth and ninth in- nings. The game was broken wide open by Hoston in the fourth, Tyler got him- self into a hole by passing Shean, the first man up. Strunk smashed = the ball-hard to center, but Paskert raced under it for a neat out. Shean, ta ing advantage of Tyler's leisurely windup, dashed for second and made it standing up, while Kiliifer let the ball get through him for a short passed ball. it was a clean steal for Shean, nev- ertheless, and the crowd rooted for a run. With Whiteman up, Tyler wob- bled again and issued another pass. The stands were fairly rocking when Stuffy Mclnnis strode to the plate, but the best the Gloucester boy could do was to force Shean at third, Then along came Ruth, Two men were on base. Red Sox feared Tyler would not take a chance with that big black cat, for the first three piiches were wide of the plate. The next one curved over for a strike. Owens called the next one strike two, while the burly Babe scratched around the box in disgust. Then he | dug himself in at the plate and with the count three and two waited to see if Tyler dared to send one over. Tyler dared Ruth ewung into the ball savagely and the gleaming sphere soared in a steadily upward sweeping climb_for the right centerfield. It was a hard drive to judge and Flack ran in for a step and then started back in a wild | se. Before the ball slammed into the outfield barrier Whiteman and Mc- Innis had scampered Lom= and Ruth was heading for third like a big tank | run wild.

Leslie Mann then tied up the game with o sharp single to left, which scorsd McCabe. Fred Thomas ended the agony by throwing out Paskert at first on a slow-rolling bounder. Boston went into its half of the eighth full of venom at having to win the game all 'over agzain. Fer the first time in the series they found a.right hander facing them in the box, Doug- las replacing Tyler. Schang, batting for Agnew, lost no time -in" demon- strating that the Red Sox. were out for blood. He soaked a sircle to cen- ter and on a short passed ball, sped to second. Captain Hooper was at bat and he laid down a crafty bunt, which Douglag heaved wildly in the zeneral direction of Merkle, By the time the ball was recovered Schang was home with the winning run and Hooper was perched on second. Shean, Strunk and Whiteman made tame ending of the inning. The swan song of the Cubs in_the last inning was a heart-breaker. Ruth had attained even greater Widness. Merkle, the first man up, singled af- ter Babe threatened to pass him. Fill- ing his cup of woe, Ruth then passed Zeider. There apparently was _no limit fo his passes, and Manager Bar- row, feeling the humiliation as much as the biz pitcher himself, called Babe from the box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush. As Ruth's heavy artillery might still be badly needed, however, he was not exiled, but was sent to left field in place of Whiteman. It was a tough place for Bush, but he refused to be rattled and every tall had a zip to it. McInnis con- ducted a one-man patrol of No Man's Land in the vicinity of the pitcher's hox and called the turn magnificently on Wortman's attempted bunt. Toss- ing the ball to Thomas, he headed off Merkle. Barber, the next man uo, hit a_line drive. It was moving fast, but Scott was on the move, too. With another of his incomparable one-hand | coops, he started one of those light- ring double plays, Shean to Melnnis, which killed off the game rally of the hard-dying Cub: The weather or the opening game to Mclnnis (2). Chicago 6, Boston 4. Left on First base | STOCKS BROKE VIOLENTLY. New York, Sept. 9.—Stocks bre almost violently in the latter part of today's session, the early and inter- mediate periods having been char- acterized #/ unusual dullness and ‘mportant price changes. The decline which extended from 2 to 4 points among the more popular speculative favorites, lacked explan- ation, although the setback was co- incident with the publication of the crop report as of September 1. As a matter of fact, the report was far from adverse, except as it related to the outlook for corn, which indicat- ed further severe deterioration over the showing of the previous month. Grains and other important cereals were quite as good. if not decidedly better than the estimates of the pre- ceding month, the outlook as a whole indicatinz vast improvement over the August forecasts. Students of market conditions were disposed to offer other reasons for the precipitate decline. Today's session marked_the inauguration of the new Stock Exchange regulation requiring members to make daily reports of tHeir bank loans, This rule is expected to reduce the activities of pools and cliques, as well as numerous individual speculators whose activities recently have been the cause of adverse criticism. As the market's barometer. U. S. Steel was subjected to the heaviest selling at an extreme decline of 3 1-8 points, only a fraction of which was regained. Other industria’h and high grade rails yielded casily. the closing bringinz a few feeble rallies. Sales were 335,000 shares. Internatioral bonds, notably French municipals, were firm, but Liberty 3 1-2's and other domestic issues yield- ed variably were $6,775,600. Old U. S. bonds_were ynchanged on cail.

STATE BUILDING AND BUSINESS The clearings of the Hartford, New Haven, Sprinsfield and Holyoke banks Tor the week show little change as com- | pared with the record for the similar week of last year, Hartford and Springfield showing losses of less than | 1 per cent., with a subgtantial inerease | in New Haven and a small decrease | in Holyoke. The record of clearings | for the month of August in these | cities is highly satisfactory, the gains over last vear being 218 per cent. in Hartford, 231 per cent. in New Haven and 3. per cent. in| Springfield. Transactions in real estate con- | tinue: at high water mark. The:last of August is usually a dull period | in this line, but the number of sales of real estate by warranty deed in the_towns reported in The Commer- cial Record for the week are in ex- cess of the sales a year ago for the same period ,the figures being 460, against 440. Real estate loans, | however, show a falling off, the| figures ~ bein $912,139, compared | with $1,327,335 last year. That there is so much money available for mortgage loans under present con- | ditions would seem to indicate hat | eal estate loans are still a favorite | form of investment for many Dpeo- | ple. | | Business mortality throughout the State continues at a low ebb. But five petitions in bankruptcy were filed during the p: week, which compares favorably with the record for the last week in August in cor- responding week of 1917, the liabili- | ties being §16 931, against $32,102 a year ago, and assets of $16,93L, | compared with $18 last year. The Tecord of new incorporations shows the effect of the present pro- gram as regards new financing. ‘Three new companies are reported | for the week, with aggregate capital | stock of only $57,000. Last year for! the same week the six new incor- porations had authorized capital stock of $2,230,000. Building permits .issued in the cities of New Haven, - Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain Stamford. Stratford and Springfield in Holyoke. The record of cearings for the week make a better show- ing than for the corresponding week of the year 1917. Permits were granted during the period stated to the number of 126. com- paring With®130 a year ago and 217 in 1916, The cost of the buildings for which the permits were granted for the current week is estimated at $470.745, against $178,125 last year and $801969 two years ago. For the month of August 522 per- mits were granted in these ci for buildings costing $1, against T4l permits in 1917 buildings costing $2,646,263, in. 1916, 925 permits, to cost $2,838,769. Among the projects for contracts have been awarded ing the week are factory buildings in New Haven. Stamford, Stratford, Waterbury, Derby and Shelton, re modeling business block in Bridgeport, garages in Bridgeport, transformer building in _Springfield residence_alterations in New Hav- en and 54 one, two, three and four-family houses in Bridgeport, with a number of similar houses in Waterbury, Hartford, New Britain, Bristol, Stratford, Derby and ' New Haven.

The soldiers stormed hospital physicians for permission to see the game, and the Boston chapter of the Red Cross furnished automo- biles to transport them to the field. Indications tenight were that the batteries for thc fifth world's series game tomorrow would be Jones and Aenew for the Boston Red Sox and {either Vaughn or Hendrix and Kille- fer for tie Chicago Cubs. Manager Harrow of the local team wag sure e weu'd send in Jones and was 'wise confident of winning the series tomcerrow. e said. Today's game gives us a big edge cn the saries. T expect ome more game wili finish it up and that Bos- {en will come through the winner to- morrow. I'm going to zive Jones a ckance to pitch tomorrow, and I think he will measure up in good style. But I've got AMays in reserve, anyway." Manager Mitchell of Chicago. de- clared that the Cubs had a fighting chance to win the serfes. He said: “We worked hard for today’s zame, but lost. We still have a fighting chanre to take tomorrow’s game and two days. The opportunity to win is always there. I'm going to wait until tomorrow before deciding who will pitch for us.” . NO FOOTBALL TEAM FOR WINDHAM HIGH (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantic, Sept. 9. — Windham High school will have no football team this year, as at a meeting of the men who reported for the team Monday afternoon at the school voted against the school being represented this vear on the gridiron, 12 to 10. There will be a basketball and track team though. Twenty-two men reported at the meeting of candidates for the. team Monday afternoon in the assembly hall. Most of these men were iight, ond new to the game, As to 'last year's men, there were only four, the two Staebners, Clifford and Adams. Sumner, this ‘vear's captain, will en- ter Exeter. Principal Case addressed the men, explaining the situation, and the preceding vote was taken. Mana- ger Paulhus will cancel the following schedule: Sept. 28— Pomfret at Pomfret. Oct. 5—Stonington at Willimantic. Oct. 12—Norwich Free Academy &t ‘Willimantic. Oct. 18—Bulkeley at Willimantic. Oct. 25—Westerly at Willimantic. —Vocational at Wilimantic. Nov. Nov. 2—Vocational at Willimantic. No —Bukeley at New London. Nov. 16—Norwich Free Academy at Norwich. Nov. 23—Open. Nov. 28—Alumnae. The proposed alumnae game would probably have been impossible, for most of the men are in the service.
