The Summary R H E Boston 6 8 1 Brooklyn ... 5 10 4 Boston, Oct. .9. The Boston Red Sox played good to betting odds and ' won from Brooklyn Robins ih the OP' ening game of the World Scries today before a tremendous audience. For eight innings it looked like a run away proposition with Boston an easy winner, but Brooklyn fought out a rally in the ninth that lacked but one in tieing the score. A great shakeup in pitchers was brought about. Ernest Shore had the Brooklynites on his hip up to the ninth and it was necessary for Mays to en ter the fnay and save Boston. The game ended six to five in Boston's favor. Janvrin's ninth inning error came near costing the game. For five innings Shore and Mar quard fought out a pitching duel while 40,000 sat spellbound. Boston Scores First Janvrin began the third inning for Boston by fanning, but Meyers drop ped the third strike and Janvrin ran but was thrown out at first. Out fielder Walker fanned and then came the first big hit of the gam when First Baseman Hoblitzel tripled to deep right. He was scored when Lewis shot a double bagger to left field, but Lewis was caught off sec ond when Mcycm threw to Olson. One run, two hits and no errors. Brooklyn Ties Score It was in the fourth inning that Brooklyn tied the score. Casey Stengel, Brooklyn's outfielder, sin gled and "Buck" Wheat tripled scor ing Stengel,. Second Bsemnn Cut shaw flew out to Hooper and Wheat was thrown out at the plate on a wonderful throw from Hooper to Cndv. Mowrey went out Janvrin to Hoblitzel. One run, two hits and no errors. Hooper Starts Again Hooper opened the fifth inning for Boston by lacing out a double. Jan vmn sacrificed being thrown out, Mowrcy to Cutshaw. Walker singled and Hooper scored. Hoplitzcl was ar. easy out, to Daubert unassisted. 1 DEMOCRATIC nnw riiirn urli rLMtUi Portland, Oct. 7.

"On this principle," Mr. Wagner contended, "that if his conscience dictated to him that he should worship God on Saturday or Monday instead of Sunday, no man nor set -of men should compel! him by law to violate his conscience by worshipping, or religiously regarding another day." He declared, "the framers of the constitution were led of God, when they were careful to eliminate everything from that grand document that savored of a union of the church with the state.' "Sunday laws are religious laws," Mr. Wagner said, "and when the state enacted a Sunday law, it was legis- lating in matters of religion."
