C. Hamilton, - (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Braves Field, Boston, Mass., Oct. 7. The Boston Red Sox took the "jump" game cf the 1916 world's series from Brooklyn today but it was only by an eye lash. The Red Sox finished up on the long end of a six to five score, but a remarkable ninth inning rally by the Dodgers, coupled with the weakening of Ernie Shore, in the box for Boston, and an error by Janvrin nearly upset the world's cham pions. . For five innings Shore and Marquard worked in asretty a pitching duel as has been seen on Braves Field in some time. The crowd of upwards of 40,000 sat spell bound as the rival pitchers fought it out. Marquard was the first to crack, but Shore got his in the ninth when Carl Mays relieved him. Pfeffer acted as relief worker to the Rube. The game was remarkable in a way for the lack of enthusiasm usually displayed at the opening encounter of a world's series. BROOKLYN BOSTON A. handful o loyal Brooklyn rooters v, hooped it up when tho Dodgers were tbnking their drive in the ninth, but oth erwise reul spontaneous outbursts of ehecring and the old whoop 'er-up stuff was lacking. In former years, thousands of rooters I'.tve paraded about the .field behind the band after n Boston victory, the e rowd here thi.-t afternoon simply got up and went home. The bond paraded once around the' field-but practically ft'one and then'gave up tho ghost. Fred Merkle had a chance to become the world's series hero in the ninth inning, but failed. He came up with only one out and the bases full. Three r,:us would have tied the score. lie drew ball, then a strike, and so on un til the count stood at the proverbial t'roe and two. The crowd stood tense. But when Shore pitched the last one wide, Merkle walked, forcing in. a run. The Ked Sox entered the ninth inning with a five ruu lead- Daubert walkei mid singles by .Stengel, Olson and Myers oeupled with Janvrin 's error and Cut shaw being hit by a pitched ball, kept the bases choked to such an extent that four runs came over. Against Boston's one error tbeDodgcrs had four. They didn't look like champions today. Ol son made two bad fumbles, Cutshaw contributed a muff of an easy liner and irengcl uncorked a wild throw.- The )ume will rank up with most any world 's series contest in tho number of ei:rra base hits that were made. Wheat n id Chief Meyers of the Dodgers each . connected for triples. Walker and Hob litzell of the Red Sox also drew three j'ly swats, and Hooper, Lewis and Janv riii smashed out. doubles.

Plunging into the busy whirl of another world's series, Boston's Red Hox clash ed this afternoon' in their first game Bith.the Brooklyn Dodgers in defense of their title as the world's baseball champions. - A bright sun beaming from n cloud Jess sky barely took tho chill off the au tumn air. Packed In the sriunntic stands of the country's biggest bnll park were npwarus or 40,iiuu raving fans. Bv noon the bleachers were practically ruiea. men came droves of those hold . v inj reserved seats and boxes. Boston was never so confident of win- Tou can't enjoy th' best unless you're jiropared fer th' worst.

But, fresh from the wilds of Flntbush, Wilbert Robin sou and his Dodgers are full of fight and promised to give the Box the buttle of their uvea. The Red Sox were the first to appear on the field. They came tumbling out of their dugout only a few minutes after 12 o'clock and immediately took the field for batting practice. The Boston warriors swung only ' at left handed shoots. In anticipation of Rube. Mar quard, Carrigan had only southpaws serving them up to his swatsmitlis. In the meantime a cabaret sextette made sour music. - A band did its best to drown, out the megaphone shouters but was only partially successful. The Royal Rooters band was on the grounds" early, well supplied with lung power, to toot "Tessie" all over the place. The arrival of the Dodgers was fore cast by the appearance of the shadow of Wilbert Robinson's stomach on the field shortly before 1 o'clock. A sec ond later Robbie himself appeared, fol lowed by the entire Brooklyn crew Dodgem Begin Practice. At 11:15 the Dodgers took the dia mond for batting and fielding practice. Marquard, Smith and Pfeffer warmed i.p for Brooklyn, Dutch Leonard took n light workout for Boston. The Dodgers also practiced their slug ging on -southpaw shoots, expecting eith er Kuth or Leonard to pitch. They also showed speed by running out their hits with sprints down to first base. The stands filled slowly. There were large patches of vacant seats in the main grandstand and few boxes were occupied at 1:2U. The Line-up.

Shore and Ruth warmed up for the Red Sox. lhe nostou bunch went through their fielding practice with 4he greatest snap. It appeared certain that cither Shore or Ruth would take the slab. At 1:49 the stands were practically filled and the crowd was still pouring in. Governor Tener and other members of the National commission arrived at this time. President J.nnuin of the Red Sox also appeared and was given a rousing cheer. Robinson and Carrigan posed for the camera man with hands clasped, and Bobby wore a cherubic smile. It was still a toss up between Shore and Ruth. , , . . First Inning. Boston: Shore looked nwfullv good and he was working easy with a world of speed.

WHAT THE FANS DID Pilled With Hot Dog and En thusiasm Went Early and . Stood Pat By George Martin. (United Press staff correspondent.) Braves Field, Boston, Mass., Oct. 7. (0 a. m.) Here were the forehanded fans, entirely surrounded by dew and dawn. Filleod with hot dogs and a de sire to see the game. Dimmed in shivers and engulfed in yawns. If it hadn't been for Marsh of Van couver, the wait would have been awful. He was the maddest Britisher that ever ate marmalade for . breakfast. The streot was strewn with the r's he drop ped and the way he treated his h ' was a sin. Marsh and his wife, it seems, picked Boston mid started for the scries early last month with cash and hopes for a grandstand seat. Hiding out on Broad way, over behind tho Hudson river till they were sure of the winner, they pounced upon the high priests of the Red Sox by letter; .mail and phone. Somehow their double, play was a foozle and here they were in line- At .5 a, m. they ran our of conversa tion, bought the services of two grubby and diminutive Boston terriers to hold their places In line and went to bed. From then on until daylight it was dull for the disciples of watchful wait ing, but dawn brought a woman with a mole on her chin and a square meal in her band. She began to talk on arrival and at a late hour her mole was still waving madly. "I not only got up with the birds," she said, "but I am one: I am also Mrs. C. A Hawkins, of Boston. I brought my luuch, but I wont have time to eat it- I've been doing this for three years now and I make a point of keeping up the conversation until long after the game is over. It amuses the boys and it doesn't bother me; I'm used to it And bv the way, vou may be interested to know that the Rod Sox will win three straight, drop one'and take the fifth.' With Mrs. Hawkes was her- sister, .urs. Louise loung, of Chicago. Mrs. Young, who isn't so very talkative, did not snv a word. She could not. First in line all night was Celeste Gazzinza, of Boston.

Time was when thev came bv hun dreds from all parts of the country, oum a soup oox city and camped be side the concrete battlements. A dozen roaring caiupfires. several all niirht vest pocket restaurants and innumerable sleeping concessions were common then.

Sabin, president of the Guar- auty Trust company and author- lty for the stjntemeut that Her- many had decided to ask Presi- dnt Wilson to make overtures for peace, today reiterated $ through his secretary that he 4c had learned this fact from un- questionable sources. j 3(c9)E4e3fc4c4c9r'4c3c3(e3lc'r:skHC9lc By Carl W. Ackertnan. (United Press staff correspondent.) The Hague, Sept. 17. (By mail.) The Dutch government only two months ago sounded the European belligerents eu the prospects ,of peace, the United Press was informed today. Every bel ligerent except France, expressed a will ingness to enter an informal discussion. France's reply was sueh a fiery refusnl that one person wo learned its contents described it asJ'almost an ultimatum." (A Rome dispatch to the United Press yesterday carried the first, iutination that Holland had been putting out peace feelers,-' This dispatch stated, that the allies had informed Holland that peace overtures at this time would be con strued as a pro-German move.) Dutch officials have not only resumed their attempt at peace negotiations, but they are how convinced that the end o'i the war is a long way off. The one positive indication that peace is impossible at present is tho wide dif ference of opinion between each of the opposing sides regarding the situation in the ranks of the other. During the past few days I have been in Copenhag en, Berlin, The Hague and Rotterdam. The first impression obtained by a trav eler is the wide chasm between the con tending parties. Germany Confident. Copenhagen, which ft tremendously anti-German, believes, that Germany is about to fall to pieces. ' There are re ports of unrest, starvation, depression und lack of soldiers In Germany. The people of Copenhagen and also residents of The Hague believe the allied otren sive on the Somme, in Russia and Cla- licia and Hungary is having great sue cess. They can't understand why the much talked or revolution" in Ger many doesu't begin. No one pays any attention to the German victories in Ru mania. In Berlin there is some depression, some pessimism, but the faith in the ability of the army to hold out Is not being" shaken. Everyone In Germany keeps maps of the battle fronts and watches the progress of the fighting closely. The people have amazing faith in Von Hindenburg. Interest centers in Mackensea s offeusive in Rumania. The Berlin newspapers emphasize the shortage of British tonnage. They de clare food prices have advanced us much in England as in Berlin. Franco, Berliners believe, has exhausted her re serves and her army is weakening daily more than any other army. The streets'of Berlin, Frankfort, Bre men nnd all large German cities nre full of soldiers all the time, refuting the oft- repeated statement that Germany has exhnusted her reserves. "The allies are losing 5,000 men a day on the western front," was the way one German put it. "I suppose our los ses are great, too, but we can keep it up as long as tbey can. We will hold out until the allies get enough of it." United States Not In It Washington, Oct. 7 Likelihood of the United States government acting as a prominent factor to bring pence to the warring powers o'f Europe is dwindling day by day, according to general belirf in official circles here. The subject is once more receiving diplomatic consideration on the event of Ambassador Gerard's return to this country from Berlin, Count Von Bern- storff 's visit to the president at Shiulow Lawn next Monday, and as a result ot the president's continued utterances on the subject of world pence for the fu ture. Two toints nrp made by those who be lieve the United States will make no further move to Aid the hostilities and probably will be unable to aid in tho readjustments between the Euro pean countries when the war ends: (Continued on page five.) Hops Selling Freely At 11 and lHiCents; Car Shortage Affects The hop growers association of this city reports a fairly active sale of hops at tho present time. The price ranges from 11 to 11K cents a pound and the demand is good. A ear load was sold, yesterday and scarcely a day passes without recording a salo. The ear shortage on the Southern Pa cific is a bad feature of the situation since it is tying up the money of grow ers on sales already made. The money is not duo from the purchaser until the hops are aboard the cars. little Woman Delights Big Audience Senator Gar land's Forceful Speech 0 The Grand opera house was well fill ed last night, the occasion being the address by Mrs. Alexander Thompson, of The Dalles, on the subject, "Why we Should Vote for Woodrow Wil son." The advance notice sent of her called her "the Demosthenes of Ore gon-" The title is no misnomer, for she is an orator, naturally so. It is told in history that : Demosthenes hesitated in his speech and overcame the defect by s pen king with pebbles in his mouth. With Mrs. Thompson, being a woman, of course she never had any natural im pediment in her speech, and con sequently never bad to do the pebble act. InsUycV she nan yearls and sne dropped them one after another, pearls of wisdom, gems of thought, sparkling wit, keen humor, and profound deeps of leeiiug as she uisenssed some of the great things accomplished by our presi dent in his strenuous three years and a half at the head of tho government. iter views on suffrage are broad she taking the ground that the so-called woman's party was the greatest handi cap the woman had to bear in their struggle for the ballot. She spoke with biting sarcasm- of the train load of wo men who had not yet earned the ballot coming west to suffrage states to tell 4,000,000 women who have tho ballot how' they, should tote. On this subject she told a story of a hard working girl at Hkeneateles, New York, whose daily life - was one of litter drudgery, and whose sole pleasure . was reading the Sunday papers and hoping that some time she might enjoy some of the pleas ures she read about. After a long time she gave up all hope in this line and realizing as she read of social" doings, that it was never for her, she threw it aside and consoled herself by' saying: "Maybe it isn't so." She said when she read of tho woman's party and their threat to throw the votes of the women of the suffrage states against Mr. Wil son she eonsoled herself with the thought: "Maybe it isn't so." "1 don't believe it Is," she added, "for I do not believe the 4,000,000 women of the suffrage states can be dictated to by a group of non-voters and have their collective vote handed to anyone." She declared that women were the monety spenders, and that it was really of more importance in the domestic economies than tho earning of it by father. When Adam Learned Wisdom. The women were educated spenders and would bring economy into public affairs just as they did in their house hold affunrs. Incidentally Bhe remark ed that man never had wisdom until women gave it to him. That sacred his tory showed how it was Evo who first plucked the apple nnd obtained wis dom, nnd then generously gave Adam n bite and taught him wisdom. " Why," she snul whimsically, "if it had not been for Eve old Adam would be hang lug around in the garden jot." She said the women would not at tempt to punish Wilson because con gress hnd not tuken steps to make suf frage national, and in telling what they would be punishing him for, reached a height of eloquence that held the audi ence breathless until at the conclusion of her glowing tribute the big house suddenly broke into a storm of appmuse that would not stop. Those who heard Mrs.Thompson had an evening they will long remember arm those who did not will never know how miii-h they missed, because no one eau tell them about It. it was one of those events that can only be understood or enjoyed by personal presence, for words cannot describe it uuless it was the sumo words used by her and then the meaning her clear enunciation and splendid delivery gnve them would be lacking nnd weaken their force. The Cherry Bud bund gnve several selections before the doors and a couple after entering the house which were heartily applauded. Mrs. Halley ParUh Hinges snug in her best voice and re sponded to an encore- Mrs. Enright spoke briefly nnd happily on suffrage, and then Mr. P. I,.

His points were well made aod his description of -Mr. Hughes delivered bound huud and foot into the power ot Roosevelt nnd Taft was apt. In con cluding he spoke of the German vote being in favor of Hughes, and expressed his astonishment thnt the Intelligent thinking Germans could support a man who was advised ly Konseveit who him self was tho avowed enemy, of Germany.
