Worlds Series

The New York Nationals over
came the Boston Americans at bos-
ton yesterday by a score OF to l
in the third game of the worlds base
ball championship series. Each club
has now won victory, the SECOND
game having ended in tie.
All the world series records for at
tendance and receipts, and, conse-
caently, for the players share OF the
money, are practically certain to be
broken in the present series of games.
The total receipts for the first the"
games of the present series, rec
ord for corresponding games, being
s196,63S, as compared with Sl95,9l+
last year.
The total attendance for the first
three games, however, falls short OF
the record for these games by about
1900. The figures are lOO,5O2 this
year and 1O1,7 3S last year.
In the three games already playec
of the present series the players will!
share in S106,1S3,94, GO per cent. TO
the winners and 40 per cent. to the
losers. This compares with Sl21,91o
for their entire share last year
The fourth game of the series, 10
be played in New York today, is the
last in which the players are entitled
to share in the receipts.
Officials connected with the business
end of the contending clubs say that
the members of the winning club Will
have about $4,000. Last year
the Philadelphia Athletics received
S3654.5S each.

CAN'T CONQUER MT. M'KINLEY
Another Expedition Baked by Ice
Cliffs.

Fairbanks, Alaska, via Ashcvroft,
British Columbia, April 10.-Another
attempt to conquer Mount Mckinley
has failed. The Fairbanks Times ex-
petition returned last night, report
lng it had reached an elevation OF TO-
100 feet on the north side of the
mountain east of Peter Glacier. Fur
her progress was barred by pre-
cipitous ice cliffs. Lack of supplies
and the lateness of the season made
lr impracticable to renew the attempt
by another route Members OF the
party believe the ascent feasible, but
not along the ridge.
Nothing was seen of the expedition
led by Prof. Herschel Parker of Co
lumbia University and Belmore
Brown Of Tacoma, who left Seward
early in February.
The Fairbanks Times expedition,
which left here February 5, was
composed of four men: George S.
Lewis, formerly associate engineer in
the United States reclamation ser
vice at Yuma, Ariz.; Martin Nash Of
Dawson, J. T.. Arson McCabel, who
worked with the Government survey
last summer in the Fairbanks dis
trict, and Jack Phillips, a noted dog
"musher" The party took two sleds
nineteen dogs and 1900 pounds of
supplies.

White Star Liner Just Missed COL

The Titanic, one of the two largest
liners in the world, sailed for New
York on her maiden voyage today,
narrowly. escaping a collision similar
in some respects to that of her sis
Ter ship, the Olympic, and the Brit
ish cruiser Hawke
After leaviYg her dock and while
proceeding down Southampton water,
the Titanic passed the White Star
liner Oceanic and the American Line
steamship New York. The suction
OF the Tiianlc's triple screws drag
ged the New York from her moorings
and seven of that vessels stern ropes
parted
The stern of the American liner
swung into midstream and narrowly
ESCAPED striking the passing Titanic,
which was obliged to stop while the
New York was towed of to a safer
berth
The Titanic, which left port at
12:15 p. M, is a White Star liner.
She carried $50 first class passengers.
There was a large crowd present

practically a clear field for Frank l..
Greene OF St Adams. The most
striking feature of the First district
convention at Burlington was the way
the Greene strength developed on
every hand. Small green ribbons, the
token of the Greene supporters, We're
in evidence everywhere, and it was
generally predicted that his name
would be the only one presented to
the convention. Others who have

nothing like the general acquaintance
