The world champion Itostou Amer
icans, niarkinif time from the end of
the season which brought them an
other pennant to the hour they meet
the lirooklyn Nationals on Saturday
in defense of greater baseball honors,
divided forces. One group, headed
Cnptain Jack Hurry, went to Worces
ter to oppose the Philadelphia Ameri
cans in a game arranged to .assist a
memorial fund for the old-tune um
pire, John II. flaffney. Others of tli
team went again to Israves ficlij,
where the local games will be played,
for light practice. Manager (.'urri
gan, who was with the latter, said
that "the boys are in good shape, ex
cept for Foster and Harry." .
Whether either or both would be
able to take an active part in the ser
ies was still uncertain, he said. Close
followers of the team, claiming no au
thority for their statement, predicted
todav that Carrigim himself would
catch the opening game withkcoiuird
as the pitcher.
Allotment of the 27,000 reserved
seat tickets was finished early today
with probably more than 1000 appli
cations unanswered. The available
reservations were oversubscribed so
greatly that many persons who asked
for a modest pair of scats were allow
ed but one, while others asking six
and eight, in some instances ohtuim-d
only a pair. To receive their tickets,
.'Miplicauts besieged the club box of
fices today and with the announce
ment of last night that reservations
were not specific, lint applied only to
the number of tickets allowed, with
early comers getting prefereuee'of lo-'
cation, the grandstand ticket lines re
sembled a bleacher rush.

this state today with renewed vigor.
The South Dakota cities, Salem Park

his stand on prohibition.
BY LOCAL TEAM

tory in the football game to he played
with Medford in Omuls Pass next
Saturday. Against their alumni
team tin.' Granite t'ity high school ag
gregation made a remarkable showing,
defeating them 4"-0. Their high
school team this year is made up of
huskies with all the backfield and
most of the line composed of letter
men, while the new recruits bring
the weight average up so that thejr
line is the heaviest in several sea
sons. Miller, the new Grants Pass
coach, a Pennsylvania man,' is w hip
ping his men into shape rapidly and
fans say his team is in the best enrly
senson shape they have ever seen. .
Unless Medford puts more -pep and
punch into her playing thou was the
ease in the 0-0 game with the alumni
last Saturday, the Grants Pass pre
diction will be home out, according to
Coach Klum. The men arc still fail
ing to come into shape and great dif-
i'ienlty is being experienced in getting
them speeded up on their feet. Hand
ling the ball is becoming more certain,
yet to successfully follow out the
straight type of football program
which Klum has decided to use, the
men must get into action faster or

OF RUSSIAN REFUGEES
.. NEW YORK, Oct. 5. A cablegram
protesting against a reported attempt
in the British house of commons to
deport Russian and Rumanian rcfu
ees from England unless they join
the Hrltish army was sent today to
Sir Herbert Samuels home secretary
of England. The protest was the re
sult of a mass meeting here last night
called by the National Workmen's
committee on Jewish rights which is
said to represent BOO 000 workers.
Speakers attacked Mr. Samuels for
advancing the proposal. Representa
tive Meyer London said that if the

in the house of commons Monday,
were passed, it would be more infam
ous than the Invasion of llelgium by
the Germans.

T
PKKF.SKOHn. S. D.. Oct. .1. A re
sponse from Secretary Tumulty in re
gard to President Wilson's attitude on
prohibition received today by the pro
hibition national campaigning forces
failed to satisfy them and charges
were made that the secretary had
evaded the issue. What tin- prohibi
tionists, particularly asked the presi
dent by telegraph, was whether the
California wets were authorized to
use his name as being opposed to
statewide prohibition. A reply by
telegraph was requested, but Tumul
ty's response went to San Francisco
by mail and did not reach the party
until today.
No direct reference was made to the
California situation in Secretary Tu
multy's reply. He merely acknowl
edged receipt of the telegram, enclos
ed two form letters on the president's
position and said that there was u
third the Grogan letter which was
inaccessible.
The letters enclosed were written nt
different times. to (lie liev. Tbonuis I!.

of a party program. The llaldi'inan
letter of four years later said that the
president would not attempt to ap
prove or disapprove statewide prohi
bition in a state where he did not
know conditions. It also made refer
ence to the Grogan letlef, which, it
appears, Mr. Ilnldciiinn did not think
