Diamond Championship of the

Game of Being Won by
Americans league Leaders
. i . . ,
Braves' Field, Boston, Oct. 12.
Boston's onrushlng Hed Box cllmbod
to within one game of the world'!
baseball championship this afternoon
by defeating the Pbllndelphlans in the
fourth gamo of the aeries, 2 to 1, bo
toro a crowd that packed tbo new
mammoth Drives' Odd.
Philadelphia's defeat la now a
three-day old atory of falling to bit
in the plncboa.
In only threo of the Innings did
Philadelphia fall to got men on bases,
but each tlmo her sluggers succumb
cd to tbo elualve alants ot young
Ernie Shore, who by hla victory made
up (or hla defeat in the opening game
of the series.
Lewis waa again the individual
tar, accepting aU cbancca without a
babble and driving In Doaton'a aocond
run. Dattlng honora for the day were
equally divided between Fred Lud
erua, the big Phllly flrat satker, and
Dtok HobllUel.-who operates around
the eame bag for the Carrlgan clan.
Boston's flrat run came In the third
inning on a combination of peculiar
bits and circumstances. After Barry
had . walked, Cady dumped a bunt
toward Chalmers and George tell
down while trying to field it. Shore
aacrlficed them to second and third
respectively and Hooper got a freak
alngie which scored Barry. The hall
took a bad hop as Nlehoff was sotting
(or it and bounded clear over his
head. Chalmers then steadied and
(orced Scott to fly to Wbftted and
Speaker to pop weakly to Luderue,
Boston's other run, came in the
alxth, when, after Speaker had died,
Hoblttiel pushed a low liner over
second. Lewis then hit a terrlflo
double Into left field which carried
on a line to within a (ew feet of the
wall.' Only remarkably fast work "by
Whltted kept the hit down to a
double. . HobllUol scored standing
up. J
Philadelphia made a last ditch at
tack In the eighth inning and came
near tying the count. But again it
was the same old story of (allure to
wallop when wallops were needed.
Two men were down whon , Oabby
Cravath came up and hit a low liner
to Speaker in center. Trls saw there
was no chance to get it on the fly
and aet hlmsoK (or the hop. It hop
pod all right, but clear over hla hoad
and went bounding away into deep
center, while Cravath puffed bis way
around the bases, finally stopping at
third. Luderus then got hla third
kit of the game, another liner over
second, which scored Cravath.

treaty with Serbia, our Intereat would
oblige us to depart from neutrality
when another state sought to ag
grandise itself at our expense. The
question is not whether we ought to
make war, but when we ought to en
ter the war. Anyhow, we ought not
to allow, Bulgaria to crush Serbia
and then attack us with all ' her
troops.". ,

SAYS L1R THORNE
San Francisco, Oct 12. Holding
that too much "nationalism" is Just
as wrong aa too much "state's
rights," President Clifford Thorne,
ot the Iowa railroad commission, to
day told the National Association ot
Railway Commissioners there is a
happy medium, and contended for
maintenance ot the system of state
railroad regulation v in conjunction
with federal regulation.
Calling attention to a growing ten
dency toward nationalism, with aboli
tion of state lines, Thorne declared:
"If the national government ia
permitted to gradually absorb those
functions formerly exercised by the
states, it will only (be a question of
time until some great evil will de
mand some great remedy. Agitation
will follow agitation. There will be
no opportunity to try out tee new
