Fenway Park. Boston, Oct. 13. The
Boston Braves this afternoon won the
world's baseball championship. They
defeated the Philadelphia Athletics by
a score of 3 to 1 and thus performed
the unprecedented feat of v,-inning a
world's scries in four straight games.
With this feat they earned, more
over, thir title of the Miracie Men.
Having risen from the bottom of the
.atlonnl leaguo to first place between
July, and September, trie victorv of the
'Hravea is a fitting climax io the most
wonderful season a. baseball team ever
enjoyed.
To two pitchers goes the credit for
the defeat of the Athletics. Rudolph
and James get the credit for the iuar
tet of victories. . Both of Rudolph's
were clean cut, his last .today. James
won a sensational game Saturday, hold
ing the Athletics to two hits. He then
KOI credit for yesterday's gme, re
lieving Tyler when the score was tied.
Beaten In Every Department.
From start to finish the Braves
have otithit. outgamed. Outgeneraled
and outguessed the Athletics. Their
infield overshadowed the famous
$100,000 infield of Connie Mack. Con
nie Mack showed everything he had
and lost. He relied on his veterans,
Hnder and Plank, for the first two
games and they fell. Then he turned
to the youngsters and Bush went
down yesterday and Shawkey and
Pennock, today.
The Braves took their game away
thl.s afternoon in the fifth inning,
after two men were out. . Rudolph
started the rully whteh won. his own
game, with a single. Moran followed
with a double and when levers shot
one to safe territory both Rudolph and
Moran dashed across. Rudolph did
not pltrh as good a game as that of
last Friday, but It was good enough
to beat the Athletics. He was hit
steadily up to the fifth inning, One
safe blow was registered off his de
livery in each of the first three in
nings. In the fourth and fifth he was
touched for two hits. Only Shawkey's
double, however, in the fifth, aJ"ter
Barry had singled, scored a run. In
the next1 four innings only 12 men
faced Rudolph. He disposed of the
Athletics In order, fanning three men.
He fanned six men during the entire
game. The luck was against voung
Miawkey. He held the Braves h'itless
for three innings and they ot only a
scratch hit in the fourth. This re
volted in a tieing run, howpver. and in
the next session the game was put
away.
Carried Off on Shoulders.
The Braves were carried off the

Accept injr 'in pood faith the proposal
of ('. P. Moored, oampsign manager
for Dr. James Withycombe, for a joint
discussion of the issues of the cam
paign, l)r. C. .1. Smith, Democratic
candidate for governor, has made every
i-oni-p.ssion to the Republican manager
and still there is no prospect of Dr.
Withycombe brins "uncorked" long
enough for the two candidates for.
chif executive to meet on. the sajner
platform.
For the third time lip. Smith has
written to Mr. Moores about the mat
ter. He has offered to speak anywhere
in the state desired by Dr. Withy-
romhe's manager. lie has consented
to .Mr. Moun's proposal to discuss the
tariff and his own legislative record,
but even then the "ad visers - ref -j&s to
pull the cork and allow Ur. Withy-'
combo to discuss issues jointly with
Ur. tmith.
In his third letter to Mr. Moores,
Dr. Smith says:
' Through the public press I learn of
your last letter to me.
To date our correspondence is like
this: You began it in numerous news
paper articles, in which you insisted
that 1 should publicly discuss certain
issues, which you named. 1 replieA
with an offer to engage in a joint dis
cussion of all issues with Dr. Withy
combe. You then replied, proposing that we
limit the discussion to the tariff antl
mv legislative record, provided Dr.
Withycombe would consent.
in mv second letter 1 accepted your
terms, reserving only the right, in ad
dition to discusisng with Dr. "Withy
combe the tariff and my legislative
record, to present other matters that
might occur to me as bearing on the
campaign.
In your last letter, after asking me
originally to discuss issues publicly
before the people, you say the "people
are not clamoring for a debate . and
that you "do not know what Dr.
Withycombe' s accomplishments are as
a speaker.
From the beginning. I accepted your
proposals to me in perfect good faith,
and directed my offer for a Joint dis
cussion in the belief that it is not the
campaign manager, but. his candidate,
that is supposed to be best qualified t
discuss public questions, that it isinot
the manager, but his candidate, that
is running lor governor, and that, not
the manager, but the candidate, is the
person from wnom the people desire
a discussion or the issues.
By your replies to my communica
tions 1 cannot but feel that you do
Dr. Withycombe injustice in insisting
that not the candidate but the cam
paign manager should discuss the is
sues with me and by letter; that not
the candidate, but the managers, are
by proxy running for governor, and
that the managers think the people
want to hear the issues discussed, not
by the candidate, but by those who are
in control of his campaign.

Paris, Sept. 23. (By Mail to New

ed and German prisoners from Meaux
to Paris plunged through a -weakened
bridge across the Marne on September
20, there is every reason to believe
that nearly 600 wounded men. wert
drowned.
The train consisted of 18 cars, each

these men had lain on battlefields
without attention of any sort for from
one to two days, and were congratu
lating themselves on the fact that they
had been rescued and were on the way

GALICIA IS HALTED BY
OF
Germans and Austrians Seem
to Be Uniformly Success
ful in Eastern Field,
(United Prei Leased Wire.) -Rome,
Oct. 13. The Germans and
Austrians were doing well against the
Russians today, according to advices
received here from both Berlin and
Vienna.
In Galiria. as far east as the San
river, there seemed to be no questron
that the Austro-Oerman forces were
regaining, if they had not completely
regained control, the Russian abandon
ment of the siege of Przemysl testi
fying to the completeness of the Teu
tonic successes.
By piecing together accounts from
various sources, it appeared that the
czars attention was distracted from
his Galician campaign by the alarm
ing progress the Germans were mak
ing in Poland, where the kaiser's
troops had penetrated approximately
100 miles beyond the frontier and were
said to be meeting with almost unin
terrupted successes.
Reports from East Prussia wire con
flicting, but the impression prevailed
here that the Germans were at least
holding their own In that quarter.
From Bucharest came the news that
King Ferdinand took the oath -of office
Monday and was reorganizing the
Roumanian government as rapidly as
possible.
Germans Hold Western Poland.
Berlin, via Amsterdam and London,
Oct. 13. With the exception of War
saw, the Germans now control all of
Russian Poland west of the Vistula
river. It was officially announced here
today.
This was tbe first definite news re
ceived in some time of the progress of
the Russian Polish campaign and it
indicted German successes even more
sweeping - than ' had been looked
j for." It left no doubt, not only that the
Russians had been heavily repulsed, but
that, the kaiser's troops had advanced
rapidly.
The territory conquered is approxi
mately the size of Belgium. It has a
considerable population and several
important towns.

SKIRMISHING GOES ON
IN LYS RIVER REGION
Important Engagement Ex

Germans Need.
r$r Ed Ti. Keen.
IiOndnn, Oet. 13. Skirmishing pre
liminary to the expected battle of the
River Ijvb wan in progress today, the
war office announced. Thus far it was
said to be principally a cavalry en
gUKement. That It would develop into an im
portant battle was considered certain,
inasmuch as the Lys river region in
Belgium must be controlled by the
Germans if General von Ileseler, now
at Antwerp, is to join General von
Boehm at the point where he is
strategically most needed in France.
Persistent reports were current that
the kaiser's forces were attacking
Bruges, but the official war informa
tion bureau here had not heard of it.
German aviators were reported nu
merous in northwestern Belgium, some
of them having been Kighted as far
north as the coast. It was reported
several of them had dropped bomb
but without doing any damage.
Experts here did not believe the
kaiser would violate Dutch neutrality
by making Antwerp a naval base and
insisting on using the mouth of the
Scheldt.
Should he undertake to do so, they
pointed out, it would be necessary for
him to order his fleet to quit its pres
ent safe harbor at Wilhelmshaven.
giving the British just the chance they
have been waiting for, to attack it in
superior strength. And even if hU
ships should reach Antwerp, it was
added, the British could easily bottle
them In the Scheldt, so that nothing
would have been gained by the change.
Since-there wwid be, according ti
this1 reasoning, nothing to b gained
by it, tbe British view was that the
Germans were unlikely to add to th
number of their enemies by antagoniz
ing Holland.
With the news that the seat of the
Belgian government was to be trans
ferred to Havre came the information
that King Albert would remain in
the field at the head of his army.
Here's Proof, Say Germans,
Berlin, by wireless Via Sayville,
Oct. 13. The German press today
hailed papers seized by the kaiser's
troops in Brussels as irrefutable
proof of British violation of Belgian
neutrality. n
These documents were Raid to re
veal the existence of a secret mili
tary agreement between the two coun
tries. The Berlin government announced
also that toward the close of 1311
the British planned a violation of
Dutch neutrality and unquestionably
would have done so had not devel
opments been such that it became un
necessary.

Washington High School,
Governor Oswald West will speak
tonight in the auditorium of the Wash
ington high school. Kast Fourteenth
and East Stark streets. He has ac
cepted the challenge of the Oregonian
to tell where R. A. Booth, the Ore
gonian's candidate for United States
senator, got his timber.
The governor was state lanri agent
when the land fraud investigations
were being made in this state and in
connection with the work of his office
he learned how a great deal of pub
lic and school lands had slipped into
private control, to the public's loss,
and he has stated that he would tell
what he knew about some of Booth's
methods of acquiring timber lands, if
the Oregonian and Booth's supporters
did not cease their vicious attacks on
Senator George K. Chamberlain.
They did not stop their attacks, but
the Oregonian challenged the governor
to speak out. To answer this challenge
is the purpose of the meeting tonight.
The governor will tell where R. A.
Booth got his timber.

"The new guns." said 'Gall, "will
shoot from 21 to 25 miles. They will
be 50.02 and 65 centimeter caliber.
They will supersede the 2 centimeter

Gall said two officers of the Ger
