Boston, oct. IL The Bostoa Ameri-
can league champions defeated the
New York Nationals BY score Of 2
to today in the flfth game Of the
worlds series before a crowd Of about
5000 people. The Red soxApnly need
to win one more game to capture the
title of worlds champions, while the
Giants must win three straight games
to gain the championship laurels.
The youthful Bedient pitched a won
derful game. holding the New York
club to three hits. Mathewson also
pitched superb game. New York's
only run was scored on a two bagger
by Merkle, two outs and an error by
Gardner. The next game OF the series
will be played on Monday. when the
Red sox's crack box man, Joe Wood.
will probably be sent to pitch against
New York

citement today and all highways and
byways of the city led to Fenway park
where the Boston Americans we're to
battle with the New York Nationals
for the fifth game Of the worlds Sc
ries The winning Of q second victory
from the Giants yesterday has arous-
ed the Red sox supporters to high
degree Of confidence that the Ameri.
can league champions will win the
premier title in baseball and four
hours before the game. 5000 fans were
sitting in the bleachers, unmindful Of
a heavy mist that came in from the
sea.
The contest today was regarded BY
the bali players as the real turning
point in the worlds series. A defeat
for the Giants would make 1t neces-
sary to win three games in success
sion while the Red sox, with three
games already won, would then have
only to win one out Of the next three
games. A victory for the Giants
would put the two teams on even
terms again.
Boston Players are Sore

the Red sox players today against
some Of the players and people Of
New York. 1t was claimed by the
Boston men that Fletcher tried to
hurt Cady by jumping on him at the
plate in the sixth inning Of yesterdays
game. Cady was not hurt but his
team mates said today that Fletcher'a
intention was plain. They had anoth.
er grievance on account Of an assault
with stones and dirt made on the
Boston players by people In the street
while on the way from the Polo
grounds In automobiles. Buck o.
Brien was struck by stone, but suf
fered only slight abrasion Of the

Until that time, however, he will have little to say Tn reply to criticisms of the plat form by Theodore Roosevelt or any body else.

 Washington-A nationwide petition to President Taft to withdraw as the Republican presidential candidate is being backed by large number or Republican officeholders who feel that they face defeat in November unless the breach in the party can be healed.
 These men include members of con- gross, members of the state legisla- lures which will elect senators, state and county officeholders and party candidates. If the movement to peti- tion MT. Taft to withdraw succeeds in gaining any volume, it is said these same men in the interest of party har- mony, may ask Col Roosevelt also to withdraw as a prospective candidate for an independent nomination and permit compromise selection of some man agreeable to both factions of the party. It is the desire of the pro- motors of the scheme that a decision shall be reached before August 5, when the Roosevelt faction plans to hold a convention in Chicago.

COST OF CLOTHING.

DO not the above Illustrations of
causes OF increased cost also apply in
marked degree in thu present price o
clothing? The cotton planters, in for
mer years, frequently sold their crops at
but little profit, and sometimes at an
actual loss, but there is little probability
that they will ever return to that con
litOn.
Leather, because of its diminishing
supply in comparison with the demand
is higher in price, and will probably re-
main so, and may become still higher
Other raw materials have advanced
price due to natural causes or to in
creased labor cost. And manufacturers

not paying higher wages and recognize
ing shorter hours of labor than in for
mer years?
And Is not public opinion steadily
growing against patronizing sweat
shops" and all forms of inhuman condi-
tions which at one time were responsible
Tor many OF the very cheap garments?
And is 1t not also true that IN the pur
chase OF clothing, just as in the pur-
chase Of food products, the demands of
the buying public have been growing
more eNacting and more fastidious?
COST Of DWELLINGS.
DO not substantially the same prn-
cples also apply to the cost of modern
dwellings? We all know that lumber
has steadily advanced in price in conse-
quence OF the realization of its rapidly
diminishing supply. The same is to
some extent true of iron, while on the
other hand, Portland cement, which is
produced mainly by labor saving ma
chine processes, and can be produced in
far greater quantity than the present
demand, is low in price.
But the wages of the stonemason, the
brtcklayer, the carpenter, the plumber,
the painter the paperhanger, and the
Iaborer are all considerably higher than
during the former periods and their
hours of labor are shorter.
Another feature must be duly recog-
nzed in comparing the cost and the con-
sequently increased rental of modern
and old-type dwellings At enc time

for some years the public have demand

of this modern demand is the frequent
sale, in large cities, of fancy selected

Another instance is the greas popular
demand for the ribs and loins of beef
and the neglect of the remaining seven

in mind regarding the food situation:
