ST. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-The Rus
and bunting today. All the troops
were withdrawn from the streets.
and the city presented an almost nor
NAL appearance. The nervousness of
the people has suddenly disappeared.
Workmen by thousands f1ocked back
to the shops and factories without
waiting for permission of the strike
committee.
The authorities did all in their
power to encourage the spirit of re-
joicing. The Social Democrats, how
ever, are not satisfied, and warn the
people not to be tricked. but to keep
up the fight. The distrust of the gov
ernment is deep-seated and not until
words are translated into deeds will
confidence in the government be Ie-
stored. Word from the provinces
shows that the strike is rapidly dis
solving in the face of the proclanla-
ton.
Before noon the celebration began,
and the city soon appeared to have
gone mad. Such scenes have never
befofes been witnessed in Russia. IN
Restrained by word or deed, the great
crowds seemed suddenly to have
been replaced by legions.
<. Red flags were in evidence.
In the churches devout men and
women on bended knees before the
image of ST. Nicholas, the miracle
worker, rendered thanks for the HES
sings of liberty, while on the corners
of thronged streets orators haranguei
the populace.
The people assembled principally
on the Nevsky Prospect. From Ka-
zan Cathedral to the Town Hall op-
posite the Hotel De L'Europe traffic
was blocked. Fully thirty thousand
workmen were massed there listen
ing to student orators who delivered
impassioned speeches. Red 1ags
were shown above the mass of cheer
ing humanity. The police kept in the
background, not even trying to keep
the street open
The demonstrators formed an inn
. mense procession and marched thro'
the streets singing the "Marsellaise.' y
A dozen red banners inscribed with
the word "Svoboda" liberty were
carried at the head of the parade.

conference of all the ST. Petersburg
newspapers and asked their aid and
cooperation in restoring normal CON

Americans who are in northwest

Boston, on paper, the best team of
the lot, got away bad, suffered defeat
and humiliation at the hands of Wash
ington, then making its sensational bid
for the pennant, never fully rallied.
Late in August the team started a
wild rush toward the lead. The play
ers, who had allowed themselves to
become fat and lazy while brooding
over their tough luck, suddenly saw a
chance and for two weeks made a
strong bid, then they struck Chicago

New York, off bad and handicapped
by bad pitching and by Elberfield' s
same time as Boston, but Grifs men
also were crumpled up in the West
and never rallied.
Washington, after a sensational start,
dropped back to its true form. For a
bunch of minor leaguers it made a
good showing and got out Of last place,
which was as much as could be hoped
for.
Philadelphia really played the most
consistent ball in the league. Wad-
dell's wonderful pitching kept the
team up close to the lead. All the
team and Mack's veterans played
steady, If not brilliant ball. When
pressed at the finish they seemed to
quit, but Bender and Plank, by wonde-
full pitching, saved them and they held
their scant advantage to the finish.
The victory of Philadelphia really is
a victory for Connie Mack, just as
Jones and Comiskey deserve the credit
for Chicago's remarkable showing.
Comiskey had just an everage team
and it suffered from sickness, injuries
and two breaks on the part of players.
1t played consistently except in two
series, and during those two series it
threw away pennant that should
have been easy for it. Then, when
hope seemed dead, ii started away on
the most wonderful tour in the history
of baseball. Almost six games behind
and with all its games to play on the
road, the team waded through its rivals
clear to Philadelphia and arrived there
within half game of the lead. Luck
defeated them in the first game, and
after that the chances were slim.
Philadelphia, inspired by new cour-
age, refused to lose, and Chicago's task
grew harder and harder, until hope
died last Thursday.
