Boston. Mass. April l9-After dropping
the morning game 10 Boston in a pitch
ers' battle between Cicotte and Oberlia,
the Nationals lost the afternoon game
also through n ninth-innlng rally by the
Red Sox, the latter hitting NJ eAleer's star
twirler. Walter Johnson. harder than they
we've able 20 hit him az any time since
he entered the American League, and
Johnson has nobody but himself 20 blame
Tor his defeat. as the support accorded
him to-day was absolutely faultless.
The biggest crowd that ever attended a
game In Boston saw the afternoon con-
test the turnstle registering just 9l.C07
paid admissions with I472l at the morning
festivities. This brings the total for the
day up 10 nearly 5000. The crowd was
so great IN the afternoon that the center
field fence was broken down and the
police were absolutely unable 10 cope
with the mob that swarmed over the
playing space. The Boston team had 20
jump into the field in the eighth inning
and help 20 clear the ground
Bad Effect on johnson.
Maybe this crowd and the enforced
wait while the scene was being cleared
had bad effect upon johnson. for from
this time on the Red Sox began 10 hit
him savagely Up 20 this time the Ma
tionals held the Red Sox 10 o. and the
betting was Just about 10 20 that Boston
would be shut out.
Wood. the speediest pitcher in the Bos-
ton fold had been already found for
running and hitting. and the second a
tribute to his miserable throw Off Elber-
fields easy erounder. The heaviest hit
ters on the local team including Lord.
Carrigan. and Speaker. were going down
with monotonous regularity until the
seventh. when a little luck put the locals
into the game.
Stahl opened this inning with a two
Dagger against the right field fence.
Wagner was easily disposed OF on
pop-up, but Harry Niles got IN a lucky
twO-bagger. a hit that would have been
an easy out but FOR the crowd that
hemmed Lelivelt in. Hooper's single
scored him and tied the game up.
Game Seems Lost.
In the eighth lot OF sleepy ball play
ing on BOston's part and the timely hit
Of Bob Unglaub gave the Nationals two
runs again. and the game was appar-
emily lost. for Manager Donovan sent
French in 10 hit for Wood. while Hall
was instructed 70 warm up When the
ninth inning was half over and the
score still TO 2 in Washingtons favor.
I the crowd began TO head for the exits
There did not seem 10 be one chance IN
10000 Of finding Johnson. With one down,
/ however. Johnson made the bad mistake
| Of passing Wagner.
Niles then slammed the ball over
Milan's head, legitimate hit this time
and a sure home run but for the ground
rules This put men on second and third.
1 Hooper again hit safely. sending both
runs across the plate. Hooper took sec
ond on the throw. Carrigan's hit 10 left
scored Hooper with the winning run
! In the morning game the visitors would
not have scored but for Cicotte's wild
pitch.

The western storm center has ad-
anced from British Columbia to
near Lake Winnipeg, and low pres
sure now prevails from the north
Pacific coast over the whole Of the
Rocky mountain region to near the
Mississippi river and eastern Can
ada, causing within the last "a
hours general precipitation from
the Pacific to the Rockies. with
gales reported on the north Pacific
coast. Normal to moderately high
pressure obtains eastwardly Of the
Mississippi, with an area Of moder-
ately low pressure off the coast of
New England that has caused pre-
cipitation eastwardly from the lake
region and upper Ohio valley. Early
this morning rain was falling in
Florida. A crest of high pressure is
near the south Pacific coast. The
eastwardly advance of the western
storm center has resulted in a
somewhat general and decided fall
of temperature from the Pacific to
the eastern slope of the Rockies
and rise Of temperature thence to
the Mississippi river. eastwardly
from the Mississippi temperatures
generally have fallen, caused by a
crest Of high pressure now over the
Ohio valley. Conditions this morn
Ing give probability of fair
weather tonight and Wednesday in
this vicinity. with slightly cooler
weather tonight.

Editor The Press: There has
been much discussion on the pro-
posed raise in wages for the city
laborers, and there seems to be
plenty Of room for more remarks
concerning same.
In Tuesdays issue of the Chron-
icle, Hon. N. s. Pratt asks the
laboring people to aid him in de-
terming the cost of living in Spo-
kane. In order that the mayor, the
chamber of commerce and other in
dividuals who have been opposed to
an advance in the city wage scale
may fully appreciate the wage
earner's condition in Spokane, let
them try for two months to support
himself, wife and family of three
or four children on $3.50 or $2.75.
Uf there are no children there are
plenty to be had at the home for
adoption.
Put all your ready cash aside,
and out of the 1915 per day pay
your rent, buy the fuel, foot the
grocery and meat bill. insurance,
pay an occasional doctor bill (no
small item in Spokane), clothe
yourself and family and you will
find to your own satisfaction that
you have no money left for amuse-
ments, and also that you need not
rack your brain as to what you
would do with an additional rs
cents per day should you be so for
tunate as to get the advance.
To ask the laborer, what would
you do with the money If your
wages would be raised? Is an insult

to every wage Garner.
Are the city officials asked what
they would do with their money
when raise is proposed for them.
Not much. If l remember rightly
the salary of the firemen and also
policemen were raised on account
of the advance in price of food
stuffs.
1t is absurd for the mayor to ask
has the price in foodstuffs increas-
ed in the last year and how much.
How much, indeed? So much that
the laborer finds himself pinched
on every side. His fare and that
of his family includes very little
If any fruit or delicacies, and only
the plainest Of victuals must con.
stitute the fare for himself and
family. CARL F. WEBER.
Editor, Spokane PRESCRIBING a
subscriber to The Press, l have
noticed an article in your paper
headed How Citizen Was Di-
rected to a Place." 1t is wonder
to me, as I often have been ap-
preached by people asking for GER
tain places or streets, the time lost
inquiring for some place that they
want to find. If they will step into
news stand or in the nearest
drug store and ask for a pocket
guide of Spokane, a little book 6x6
inches, they will save a great many
long walks. They condemn the'con-
ductors on street car lines for not
knowing everything that everyone
asks. A SUBSCRIBER.
