Hamilton, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Braves Field, BoBston, Mass., Oct. 9. Boston's Red Sox took the second game of the world's series from the Brooklyn Dodgers here this afternoon in the longest and i one of the most sensational struggles of the historic title tilt. For fourteen innings the teams battled tooth and nail. In the stands more than 41,000 men and women alternate ly sat breathless expecting to see the winning run go over any minute, or cheered themselves hoarse as some won derful play nipped a rally. Brooklyn's only run was scored by Hy Myers on a terrific circuit smash in the first inning. For Boston another long distance smash counted for their first run when Scott cracked a triple to left in the third inning. Cutshaw then made a costly bobble and Scott came in on Ruth's infield out.

ENGLAND MAY ATTACK English Paper Says: It May "Be Unhealthy for Amer ican Submarines London, Oct. 9. Possible disagree ment between the United Stntes and Great Britain as to the German U-boat depredations off the American coast, was forecast by the Daily Chronicle today. Counter measures taken by the allies will hamper American trade and also make it "unhealthy" for American sub marines off the-coast of the United States, the newspaper asserted. "The United States disagreed with us whea it admitted the Deutschlaud, but the disagreement is much sharper when it admits a pirate craft like the U-53 and fraught with many more in conveniences for the United States," said the Chronicle. "What is to pre vent the U-53 being replenished nt Am erican ports and practcially using the American coast as a base for preying on Frenchand British steamers! "Obviously, it Germany is allowed to wage such a'wnr o" the United States coast, we must take counter measures. American trade will ue naoipereu, anu incidentally-, the oilier side of the At lantic will become very unhealthy not only for German, but for Amorioan sub marines. "All these difficulties would be avoided if the United States govern ment declined to let its coast become a German submarine base and we must still earnestly hope that the policy adopted in the caso ot the v-ai may oe reconsidered."

President Wilson was still without official word early today on the German raids off New bnglanu, neuce wuuuciu any linn cation of his attitudu. He was aluted to talk with German Ambassador Von Bernstorff t 2 p. m for the first time in many months. Tho conference was arranged some time ago for the purpose of discussing Polish re lief. Until late into the night, telegraph ers worked with Washington to learn whether the German U-boat had violat ed the pledges given by the Imperial government in the past. But no deter mining Indication came. The deepest anxiety over the ritun tion was manifest, but official action and official comment were withheld in keeping with the past rules not to act without full facts. Messages from the state and navy de partments early today said these branch es were hard nt work to arrange infor mation nnd would rush through it the moment it was obtained.

Boston, Mass., Oct. 0 The trans-Atlantic lane over which has flowed a steady stream of munitions and supplies for the allied powers from American shores, is in tho grip of submarines of the kaiser 's navy today. Six unarmed merchantmen are known to lie on the ocean bottom south of Nan tucket, toredoed by German subma rines and lute reports are that two and possibly three more have been sunk.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW Spent Much Time Trying to Prove It Was Not An Tight Hour Law By Perry Arnold (United Press Btarf correspondent) Newark, N.' J., ;4t. 9. Candidate Hughes loosed his heaviest battery of assault on the Adamson eight hour law here today in the speech inaugurating his third campaign trip. Without us ing names, he ironically paraphrased "do not run away and dream that you will have courage in a future day," in referring to what he said was the demo cratic " administration's capitulation" and "humiliating surrender to duress" It was the republican nominee's most careful analysis of the democratic settlement of the railroad strike which in previous speeches he has dubbed "the paramount" issue of the cam paign. He went into great detail to declare that the bill was not an eight hour measure, but merely "a mere in crease of wages by fixing a different basis for calculating wages," He read letters dated far back ss July 29, 191(1, to controvert the democratic claim that the crisis in tiie railroad situation- was a "sudden" one the letters being from the chamber of commerce of tho United Stutes urging an inquiry. Ho quoted Senator Underwood as admit ting on tho senate floor that "the question is a question of vage; that they nro not contending for an eight hour day; that a man shall work only eight hours; they do not want that." "Service over eight hours," Hughes added,' "is not prohibited. It is not penalized . on the contrary, such work is evidently contemplated. The railroad runs must be completed in any en and under this bill, all service over eight hours is simply to be paid for pro-ruta. It is therefore wholly mis leading! to rcier to mis uui us hour bill. What is the purpose of this attempt to make the public believe that this bill fixes an eight hour work day! Manifestly, in order io endeavor to justiry tins exirnorumurjr m-w'ii thn wl.n'iniittrntion iii its.abiect and humilinting surrender of principle in ilnniiiniliiiir nud securing this legisla tion without any proper authority, as the price of peace."
