CHICAGO, Oct. 7. The Chicago
American League baseball machine
trundled half way to victory in the
world's series clash with the New York
Nationals today when the White Sox
defeated the Giants, 7 to 2, in the sec
ond game of the title struggle.
The teams are speeding eastward to
night for the Polo grounds, where, on
Tuesday, the series will be resumed,
and if the local team continues to play
the type of game it has displayed here,
supporters of the Comiskey clan are
convinced that the Sox should at least
break even with the Giants in the next
two contests at New York.
Giants' Morale Shattered.
The White Sox rolled over the Giants
today like a baseball juggernaut, leav
ing disaster and dismay in their wake.
The second victory was far more im
pressive than the win of yesterday,
and when the teams left the field the
Chicago club was surcharged with
confidence, while the New York com
bination was badly shattered, both
physically and in morale. '
The National League champions were
obliged to use four pitchers today, and
now the White Sox have sampled with
satisfactory results from their stand
point the service of five of the seven
hurlers of the Giants' staff. Only Ban
ton and Demare remain unscorched.
Glanta Score First.
Tn the second inning, after Letcher
had been retired, Robertson beat out a
hit to Eddie Collinz. .nd Holke advanced
him to second with a. single to center.
Both scored when McCarty hammered
the ball to left center and Schalk failed
to hold Jackson's throw to the plate as
Holke slid across the rubber and into
the catcher.
The White Sox went after their op
ponents in the folowing half of the in
ning and tied the score.
Jackson singled to center and took
third on Felsch's drive to right. Jack
son scored and Felsch moved up a base
when Gandil's bounder shot off
Schupp's glove. The Sox centerf ielder
crossed the plate when Weaver added
a single to left. This exhibition of
consecutive hitting was too much for
Manager McGraw, and Schupp was re
placed by Fred Anderson.
Sox Fall on Anderson.
The Giants' emergency right hander
held the Chicago batters in check for
sn inning, but in the fourth a perfect
fusillade of hits drove him to the bench
wiii Perritt took up the uncomfortabl
task of trying to baffle the White Sox
batters.
i Weaver ' Opened the fourth inning,
which resulted in the accumulation of
five runs, with, a slow roller to Herzog,
and he beat it to first. Schalk punched
a single to right and Lelbold added to
. the enthusiasm by following with an
other to center on the hit-and-run play.
scoring Weaver. McMullen dropped an
other in the same territory and Schalk
tallied from third.
Perritt Succeeds Anderson.
At this point Anderson was called
from the box when it was seen that his
shoots were not baffling the, Sox and
Perritt took up the mound work. Eddie
Collins immediately greeted the new
hurler by driving the ball to right,

III.KS OK MIRE TO CARRY
WORLD SERIES XEWJ.
CHICACiO. Oct. 7. During the
Saturday and Sunday games of
the world's series the traffic
department of the Associated
Press duplicated its feat of last
year in setting up the longest
continuous telegraphic circuit
operated for any other than ex
perimental purposes. Approxi
mately 600 daily newspapers
which take the leased wire serv
ice were connected directly with
White Sox park.
Altogether about 28.000 miles
of wire constituted the circuit,
which extended from Bangor,
Me., to San Diego, Cal., and from
Galveston. Tex., to Duluth. Minn.
In addition to the newspapers
served, the lengthy baseball cir
cuit was extended to several
Army cantonments, where the
wires were manned by former
operators of the Associated Press
who are in the National service.
Price of Four-Pound AVheatcn Loaf
Increased to 9 0 Pfennig,
or 22 Cents.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 7. Semi-official
announcement is made in tseriin inai
the August estimate of the German
grain crops has shown that a reduction
of 10 per cent in the bread ration from
November 1 will be necessary if the
grain supply is to last out the year.
In places of bread, a corresponding
amount of potatoes will be furnished.
The announcement seeks to convey
the impression that the rations will be
unchanged, notwithstanding the in
ferior nutritive value of potatoes as
compared with an equal amount of
flour.
Assurance also is given that better
flour containing less bran than the
present grinding will be furnished, if
the grain statistics now being collected
show a larger harvest than was indi
cated by the August figures.
The price of bread has been increased
10 per cent. A four-pound rye loaf
hereafter will cost 83 instead of 75
pfennigs and the wheaten loaf 90 in
stead of 82 pfennigs. --w

ceived by Emperor Charles and then

( Sixth of a daily series of articles telllnc
thn inside storv of Russia's revolt. Copy

Published by arrangement.)
The women's regiment did not have
to fight its brothers in arms, however.
The woman commander took care of
that. She just walked into that mob
of waiting soldiers and barked out a
command in a voice I had never before
heard her use. It reminded me some
what of that extra awful motor car
siren that infuriates the pedestrian,
but lifts him out of the road in one
quick jjmp. Botchkareva's command
was spoken in Russian, and a liberal
translation of it might read:
"'You get to hell out of here and let
my regiment pass."
It may not have been ladylike, but it
had the proper effect on the Russian
army, which promptly backed up on
both sides of the road, leaving a clear
lane between for the women. The
women shouldered their heavy kits and
under a broiling sun marched the two
miles which lay between the railroad
and the camp. The Russian army fol
lowed the whole way, apparently de
ciding that the better part of valor was
to laugh at the women, not to fight
them.
Respect Earned Promptly.
Botchkareva must have decided that
the first thing to be done was to give
those Jn to understand: that whether
the regiment was funny or net it would
have to be treated with respect. As
soon as we reached ojt barracks and
disposed of the heavy loads she made a
little speech In which she said that
here we were, and while we. would be
obliged to mingle with the men. rela
tions would be kept formal. The men
must be shown that the women were
entitled to the same camp privileges as
themselves, and were no more to be
molested or annoyed than any other sol
diers. We had had a. long, hot Journey,
she ended, and the first thing we were
going to do was to go down to the
river and have a nice swim.
' So with towels around their necks
the 250 women made gaily for the
river. I trotted along on the com
mander's arm. At least 1000 men went

regular meeting tomorrow night.
President Griffith, of the company,
yesterday made public the full text of
the proposal made to the men, which
proposal was rejected at meetings
early yesterday. Mr. Griffith says he
believes the men misunderstood the
offer as merely one for an increase of
2 cents an hour and rejected it on that
basis. '
Hours of Work Issue.
"The offer," said Mr. Griffith. "1
thaE.Ehe" company put into effect all
possible recommendations of the Pub
lic Service Commission as embodied in
the decision in the - 6-cent fare case,
and that all money thus saved be
placed in a. fund to be given the men.
The company guarantees not less than
2 cents an hour, and will give the men
as much more as the fund provides.
"This proposition gives the men
everything they ask in the way of a
daily wage, but requires that they shall
work 10 hours Instead of only eight
to get this wage. Therefore the only
issue is that of an eight-hour day."

Auto Misses Curve, Goes Down
Bank, Overturns, Pinning
Couple Underneath.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) Mrs.
E. W. Stubbs, an employe of the State
School for the Feeble-Minded, was in
stantly killed and her husband, also
employed at that institution, seriously
injured, when an automobile in which
they were riding went down a bank a
short distance from the school, over
turned and pinned them both under the
car.
The accident occurred tonight, when
the couple had started to drive in Mr.
Stubbs' machine from the school to this
city. As near as could be learned, the
lights on the car refused to work and
Mr. Stubbs, who was driving, failed to
negotiate a curve in the road and the
machine went over the bank.
Mr. Stubbs sustained two broken ribs,
his feet and legs, which were pinned
under the car, were badly hurt and it
is -possible he may have sustained other
injuries.
The extent of Mrs. Stubbs' injuries
are not known, but it is evident that
she was instantly killed. She was 52
years of age.
Mr. Stubbs is well known in Salem,
where he has resided for many years.
He was for some time a member of the
local police force.
Mrs. Stubbs is survived by a son,
Orville, of this city, and a daughter, in
San Francisco.
Coroner Clough visited the scene of
the accident tonight, but probably will
find an inquest unnecessary.

President of Portland Cheese Com
pany Meets Instant Death Pas
sengers Hurled From Kight
of Way by Impact.
Adolph Schneider, president of the
Portland Cheese Company, was instant
ly killed and seven others were dan
gerously injured, when a Southern Pa
cific train crashed into their automo
bile, one mile west of Reedville, yes
terday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
"With llr. Schneider were Mrs.
Schneider and their two little- daugh
ters. Vivian and Rose; Albert E. Horn
schuch, Mr. Schneider's son-in-law.
branch manager of the Portland Cheese
Company, and Mrs. Hornschuch, and a,
man and woman whose identity had
not been learned at a late hour last
night. Several witnesses of the trag
edy say that a little boy was among
the party, and was the only member
who escaped without injury.
Death In Instantaneous.
The automobile was coming toward
Portland on the north side of the tracks.
and passed another car Just before the
crossing, turning directly in front of
the train. Passengers say that the train
ran three lengths before it could be
stopped, although the brakes were ap
plied instantly. The auto was borne
before the train and its passengers
tossed along the right of way.
The body of Mr. Schneider was not
thrown from the auto, but was pinned
between the pilot and the wreckage.
His skull was crushed and death had
been instantaneous.
Survivors Are Injured.
Physicians were summoned from
Hillsboro, and three members of the
party were taken to that city in an
automobile. Passengers on the train,
say that, all seven survivors were un
conscious and appeared to have suf
fered severe injuries.
Mrs .Hornschuch recovered conscious-
ness sufficiently to inquire if her hus
band had been killed. Four of the in
jured were taken on board the train
and brought to this city, where the
Ambulance Service Company rushed
them to Good Samaritan Hospital.
Condition of Injured Serious.
Mr. Hornschuch is the son-in-law ist
Mr. and Mrs. Schneider and manages
the branch store of the Portland Cheese
Company at the Central Market. His
residence is at 406 East Fiftieth street
North. The Schneider home is at 1134
Cleveland avenue.
Oglesby Young, an attorney in the.
Chamber of Commerce building, and,
Thomas "Withy-combe, brother of Gov
ernor Withycombe. were among the
first of the train's passengers to reach
the shattered car and its unfortunate,
party. Both say that, the condition
of the injured people appeared to bo
very grave.
It is believed that those who were
taken to Hillsboro were Mrs. Schneider
and her two little daughters.
Race "With. Train Apparent.
Farmers living near the tragic who
saw the accident say that Mr. Schneider
appeared to be the driver, and that the
auto was apparently racing the train.
As the road parallels the track, turn
ing abruptly to the crossing, it is be
lieved that the driver of the car, con-
fronted by the quick turn, swerved the
auto instinctively, or in the hope of
beating the train across. The auto
was caught fairly before the pilot and
carried for a distance of 300 feet or
more.
At Good Samaritan Hospital are one
man and two women, all unconscious.
The man is believed to have a. frac
tured skull. Rudolph Schneider,
brother of the dead man, Ww3 sum
moned to the hospital to identify the
victims, aa was also Otto Friedle, part
ner of Mr. Schneider in the Portland
Cheese Company.
Many motorists, as well as the pas
sengers of the train, viewed the wreck
age and aided in caring for the injured.
Autos were numerous along the road,
which is a favorite route of travel to
and from Hillsboro, and within a few
minutes several were halted at tbe
scene. of the accident.
3 t'neoniciovs at Hospital.
At Good Samaritan Hospital are Mrs.
Schneider and her daughter, Louise
Schneider, aged 20, and Mrs. Horns
chuch. All are unconscious, but the
extent of their injuries had not been

ters, Vivian and Rose. The extent of
their injuries has not been learned.
