Emerges Victor Champions of
League Got Flying Start andLed
by Good Margin When Sox Started
Into Score, Turning Disaster Into
Victory Sox Used Four Pitchers.
OOMISKEY PARK, Chicago, Oct.
13. In one of' the stormiest games
ever played In a world's series cam
paign, the Chicago White Sox came
from behind today when defeat stared
them in th face and beat the New
York by a score of 8 to 5. The cham
pions of the National league got away
to a flying start and hammered Reb
Russell off the rubber and then fall
ing upon Cicotte, who relieved him.
The Sox used four pitchers during
tho game.
. Sallee, tho Giant's hurler, held the
Chicagos well in hand until the sixth
Inning and from there on they bat
ted him to all parts of the field.
Both teams fielded wretchedly at
times. Just how the Sox upset the
Giants when things looked rosy for

AM'STKKDAM, Oct. .). During
Ihe debate on the censorship in Hie
rciehsliig on 1 hursday, says n Merlin
dispatch, Deputy lleinrich Mueller
said :
''We are reminded of the worst
times of old Roman empire of Ger
many. We arc suifocated under a
heap of official paper prescriptions
of mock justice, injustice and arbi
trariness. People sigh, 'Who will
free us from this deluge of evil pa
per?' Confidence is ruined by Hie
milliner, in which. Ihe stale of siege is
exercised.
"Iloniogenify is lacking in Hie im
perial leadership and the higher mili
tary leadership. The relations bo
twecn (he general command and the
trade unions is becoming worse and
worse. Jt is n scandal how the pa
cifist leaders are deprived of all their
rights at a time when great conces
sions are being made to the govern
ment s pacifism."
After a strong criticism of the
methods of the press bureau, the
speaker continued :
, "It was not lack of men. but of
equipment, that was rc-w,nMhle for
the outcome of Hie battle of the
Mnrne.
"It looks as if there were elements
in Germany working for an open con
flict between the government and
parliament."

PETKOtiRAD, Oct. 13. The Ger
mans landed detachments yesterday
on tho coast of tho Gulf of Taftalah,
on tho north of Oesel Island and near
tho villago of Scrro, on the south
ern part of Dago island, the war
office announces. The Russian coast
batteries wcro sllonced by German
droadiiauKhts.
Tho Germans arc working stub
bornly to clear the ontrnnce to the
Gulf of ltlKa nenr Courland, Bays to
day's oficlal Btntemont. Tho activi
ties of tho enemy in landing forces
woro rendered difficult, by holes con
structed by tho Russians nnd hy low
visibility. Tho garrison V0f Oosol
Island is fighting German forcea
which landed thero. '
Important Biisc.
Oesel and Dago Islands are at tho
entrance to tho Gulf ot Riga and pro-
vino easy access to mo mainland over
small Intermediate Islands. They are
off tho coast of the Russian province
of Ksthonlaa. Dago Island Is about
200 miles from Petrograd. Its po
sition derives additional Importance
from tho fact that It is almost at tho
mouth of tho Gulf of Finland, at
the head of which is Kronstadt, which
defends Petrograd.
Oesel island is nearly 100 miles
north of Rlgn, which tho Germans
raptured recently. Tho landing of
German troops In Ksthonla would
threaten the outflanking of tho Rus
sian lino and probably compel a re
treat on a wldo section of the front
If Indeed ltdld not open tho way to
Petrograd itself. A railway lino fol
lows Iho coast all tho way from linp
sal, oposlto Dago island, to Petro
grad. Oesel Island, the larger of the two
Is 4.", miles long and has an area of
1010 square miles and a population
of about til). not). It has a difficult
coast Hue in tho form of precipitous
limcslone cliffs.
Associated Pros Summitry.
While tho lliltlsh offensive has
como lo n momentary pause with tho
galas effected yesterday everywhere
held, n situation latent with big pos
sibilities has developed on tho Rus
skin front.
The landing of German troops on
the Islands of OcmcI and Dago, at tho
mouth of the Gulf of Itlga, is reported
today from I'etrngrad. From tho
shore's edge at llapsal, opposite Dago
island, a railroad lino runs direct to
Itcval, the Russian nnvn! base on tho
Gulf of Finland, and thenco on to
I'elrograd.
The islands In question havo them

portant to Ihe Russians, especially

would undoubtedly hamper Russian
