Edytkuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. IA
There was every indication at St. Pet

and within forty-eight hours a general
strike throughout Russia would be or
dered A terrible storm has been raised
by the arrest of II. Krustaleff. presi-

followed by the Imprisonment of mem

number of Socialistic leaders "Reac-
ton will come" were the words on ev-
cry lip, and in Liberal Extremist camp
there is only one opinion, namely: 1t
must be resisted to the bitter end. At
all meetings Saturday night, some of
which lasted until morning, the opinion
was unanimous that the government
had forced the hands of the proletariat
and the supreme weapons of a general
strike. must be invoked.
Newspaper editors decided that the
temporary press law forbidding the

principles of freedom of speech and
the press guaranteed by the imperial
manifesto, and 1t must be defied The
result was that the editions of the
Russ and half a dozen more radical
papers were confiscated.
Employees of the Riga-Orel railroad
declared strike on account of declar-
alton of martial law in Livonia and
sent an appeal to other roads to Join

A messenger who arrived here de-
clared the streets of Riga are flowing
with blood. After meeting of rail-
road mel of Riga they were moved
down by fire machine guns and artil-
lery. The railroad men of St Peters,
burg at a meeting resolved that mas
much as reaction was gaining force
and the government seeking TO re-
tract what was won by the first pan
russian strike. railroad men will stand
ready to obey the signal for general
strike. but advise their fellow workers
TO await word from the central COM

not be risked.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL.
Central Tackles Eastern Team This
Afternoon

Central High Schools team lines up
against Eastern High School in the third
game of the high school series this after
noon at American League Park field. Gen.
trail has not had as much actual experience
upon the gridiron this season as Eastern,
and many are wondering what sort of show
the team of Central will make In the con-
test with the baby blue and white from
Capitol Hill. Central has a good team, but
Eastern has the weight, and the result will
be in doubt until the last half Is over. If
Central has the ability to run the ends
then the Capitol Hill boys will have hard
time to win. Central has been defeated
once by the strong team of the Army and
Navy Preparatory School. and then only
by score of 6 to 0. Baker, the fine half
back of the Army and Navy boys, ran
nearly the entire length OF the field for
the touchdown. Eastern. while having
large, heavy team, seems to be lacking in
aggressiveness and in the style of play put
up by the baby blue and white the players
seem to lack the speed which foot ball
runner should put forth. But 1t Is hoped
they will improve. There will doubtless be
large attendance this afternoon. as many
will desire to see the quality of foot bali
that Central will be able to put up. The
lineup will be as follows.

ASSOCIATION FOOT BALL.

England's champion association foot ball
team. the Pilgrims, won hard struggle on
the South End grounds. Boston. yesterday
from a picked New England team, the final
score being to o. ''Socker." as the Eng
lfsh boot ball is called, won warm spot in
the hearts of the spectators because of the
fast open play and absence Of unnecessary
roughness.
Among those who saw the game were
many Harvard alumni and undergraduates
They heartily indorse the sport and coming
from President Roosevelts alma mater it
may tend to induce him to put his o. X. on
the game.
Capt. Fred Mines, accompanied by Vi
Wan Woodward. both Of the English team.
will come to this city this afternoon for a
previously arranged conference with the
President. Here "sockers' will be put
through the third degree, and when the day
has ended the chief executive probably will
have added another sport to his advocated
collection.
The light New England players who lined
up against the Pilgrims yesterday were very
fast and equaled their opponents In indi-
yidual play, but were not in the class with
the Britishers when it came to team work
1t was a case of Athletics and Giants on
the field. The tall, lanky Englishmen were
infused with McGrawism and worked to-
gether like the parts of a huge machine
They scored only once in the first half, but
their mechanical play told in the end, and
when their machinery got well going they
moved down the Yankees and scored four
times more.
Woodward. the Pilgrims center forward
shot the first goal within the first minute of
play. Then the New Englanders put up
strong defense and besides took the ball

attempt to score. In the latter period of

PRESIDENT HERMANN
ON THE WORLDS SERIES

CINCINNATI. Ohio, October T.--Presi-
dent Hermann. upon his arrival home last
night. was asked his opinion of the worlds
post series. He said:
THE Giants are champions in all that the
word implies. They outclassed their Aneri-
can League rivals and won strictly on their
merits. There were no lucky breaks in the
worlds series for either side, and any man
who saw the games will admit that the
Nationals had It on the Athletics In all
points of the game.-Fhe Athletics were ex-
ceptionally weak in sending their men
around the bases. Fer instance Hartsel
would lead or with clean hit. and the
next man up lxbuld chop one down for
second base and disaster would follow. The
Giants played brainy ball. II they secured
only one run IN game they were always
scoring enough to tie. but to prevent them
getting any Roadway toward making that
run possible.
THE umpriing was superb The only kick
made was on O'Day on balls and strikes.
and as the protest came from the New York
side 1t was pretty good evidence that our
umpire was not giving her representative a
shade the better Of It. On the whole the
work of the men with the indicators was a
pleasure to look at. Their decisions were
rendered promptly and to the satisfaction
Of the players and the crowd. which shows
that all this wrangling in the games during
tne season Is absolutely unnecessary.
The worlds series gave the national
game big boom with the public. and,
though the crowds were overwhelmingly
large and hard to handle, there was no dis
order or rowdyism of any kind. That shows
that We have the better class OF people for
patrons at ball games and makes 1t the
leading sport of America
How did President Ban Johnson take the
defeat of his pets?"
Mr.. johnson. like all other American
League followers, had to bow to the SUI
periorfty OF the National League. and freely
acknowledge that the Giants were the bet
ter team"
1T was great victory for John T. Brush.
Did he display much enthusiasm over the
contest?'
mo. 1 cannot say that he did. Everybody
rushed In with congratulations, and 1t was a
joyous occasion for the owner OF the Giants
but he took it all in a matter-of-fact way.
as IL all along he had full confidence in the
Giants winning out and the result OF the
series was no surprise to him. In fact, the
representatives of the two leagues sat to-
gether day after day during the series. and
although the rival of the Nationals had to
stand for a lot of good-natured joshing
nothing occurred that did not show good
feeling"

Interesting Local Games.

Swarthmore will line up against George
town University upon Georgetown Univer-
sity Field Saturday and many are wonder
ing how much of score the Pennsylva-
mans will run up against the Blue and Gray
Georgetown University will put forth her
strongest team and do all in her power
to hold the score down 70 the lowest posi-
Bile notch. The comparison will come be-
tween the two universities of this city and
the Blue and Gray desires to hold the score
down lower than that which Swarthmore
ran up on George Washington University
last Saturday at Swarthmore when the
Buff and Blue were defeated by score of
30 to o. Swarthmore scored on the Uni
Versity of Pennsylvania upon Franklin
Field in Philadelphia in their contest sew
erai days ago, and this year the team rep
resenting Swarthmore is said to be made
up of players for an ideal foot ball team
1t can be assured the foot ball lovers of
the city that old Georgetown will play
foot ball all of the time in the contest
which will take place at the end of this
week.
On Saturday George Washington Unver-
sity will also line up against the team of
Johns Hopkins University OF Baltimore and
an interesting contest will doubtless be
played. Capt Stevenson was slightly In
ured some days ago. but played at his po-
sition as quarter back in the contest with
Swarthmore and did good work.
