TAkFGAME
SCORE f2-1.
Bedient Outpitches Big
Six and Boston Cops
Third Victory
Special to The Herald.


BOSTON, Oct. 12.-Although the
skies are dull and the sun obscured
this morning, prospects are good for
the playing of the fifth game of the
worlds series between the Red Sox
and the Giants at Fenway park. The
forecaster predicted possible light
shower during the day. The umpires
declared the field in fit condition and
the game was called at p. m.
With the Red Sox game nearer
the championship than the Giants, en-
thusiasm in Boston ran high and the
crowd is greater than that which has
attended eiter of the previous games
played here. The beginning Of the
long line of blsacher fans formed at
the gate last night.
1t seemed the general opinion that
Matthewson would be McGraw's pitch
ing choice, with Meyers catching. That
Ray Collins, the southpaw, again
would again occupy the Boston pitch
ing box with Cardigan on the receiv-
ing end. These were the batteries
which started the eleven inning tie
game of Wednesday.
1--WE have got the edge and we are
going to keep it" said Manager Stahl,
when he came on the grounds at noon
on his way to the players bench.
Manager McGraw, at his hotel, said:
"Boston's win yesterday will only
make us fight the harder. The Red
Sox depend upon Joe Wood. We can
beat every othsr pitcher they have
and we will bssk him il luck breaks
even" ~
The crowd was as enormous as ever
and as enthusiastic when the game
began and the Red Sox went to bat.
Matty was in the box, putting Bos-
ton out quickly, without a run. Bedi-
ent was pitching for Boston and re-
turned the compliment of no score.
In the second inning, however,
Matty let down little and score
was made; scores were made by Bos-
ton in the fourth and fifth inning,
thus starting with the score Of 2 to 0
in favor of the Red Sox.
The New York end of the huge
crowd became dull and Respondent,
but tried to cheer the Giants with
somewhat feeble hurrahs, hoping for
mid-game rally.
The heart seemed to be taken out Of
the Giants by two mighty triplets,
made by Hooper and Yerkes, both Of
which scored runs, although an error
let in the second run. The man should
have been out at the plate, but for
Doyle's bad throw.
Neither pitcher was hit hard. New
York getting two hits, and Boston
four up to the sixth inning.
The sixth, seventh and eighth were
played fast and carefully. The hits
were few and the playing at times
brilliant. The excitement slightly in
creased when Merkle, at the opening
of the inning, made a stunning two
baser and later made third on a long
sacrifice outfield fly. Mccormack was
then put in to bat for Fletcher, and
made first and Merkle came home on
an error.
The final score being 2 to 1.
Nothing more was done in the re-
naming innings. Boston won the
third game of the series.

FLYOD ALLEN TO BE TRIED FIRST

NytneVllle, va, Apfll o. ut
Aliens and their companions in jai
here were FESTIVE today in anticipa
ton of the trial of Floyd Allen
which will begin tomorrow before
Judge Walter R. Staples in thu
wythe courthouse, marking the start
of one of the keenest legal battle
that will have been held in this sec
ton of the State in decades.
All the prisoners have been in as
good spirits and in health as coulc
be expected under the situation
They chat freely with the Baldwin
guards and Tailor Sam Hurt anc
his deputies and seem to fear nc
evil results for themselves in the
trials.
| Perhaps they do no fully realize
the enormity of the charges fol
which they are indicted, since nc
member of the Allen clan has ever
before faced a jury on trial for his
life.
The spirit of old Floyd Allen,
whose proud boast was that he
would never be sentenced to jail,
seems to be considerably broken
from the confinement of the Hills
vile, Roanoke and Wytheville jails
since the shooting, March IA. How
ever, the lack of the old time fire
and aggressiveness of manner NAV
be greatly accounted for by the pain
he suffers from his broken leg and
extremely troublesome toothache
JUDGE AND LAWYERS THERE
Judge Staples arrived here today
from Roanoke and at once took ul
preparations for opening court to,
morrow. The venire of talesmen
for the first trial, that of Floyd,
has been summoned to appear to-
morrow by Sheriff Thomas DAVID

attorney for that county appointed
to succeed the slain William Foster

which it is observed. For several

in almost every State to set aside

for the observance of Mothers Day
1t is a beautiful custom, and one,
probably. which is destined to live
until eternity. Governor Mann s
proclamation, in part, is as follows
Il do now and hereby designate
Nav II. 1912, as Mothers Day ant
tarnestly ask every citizen of Elr
=, inia on the day to wear a white
pink or some other While Hover
that all may know that tat mott

Nv hat we owe to our mothers

shall disclose the words OF time.
but we Go know that the mother
influence is the strongest, purest
and most unselfsh that touches tho
human heart.
Let us so respol d to that In

have the comfort and happlnes,
which flow from the knowledge that
they u e appreciated and loved by
their children.
"And, therefore, to the mother:

MANY THOUSANDS HAVE HO0KWORM

Richmond, Va, April "a, 1912
With convincing evidence that
there is hookworm disease III at
least eighty-6ve of Virglnla,s one
h~ndrei counties and wi h reports
If an Infection among the school
children of nine COUNTIES reaching
nearly forty per cent. of all pupils,
the State Health Department is
preparing for a vigorous summers
e lmpaign against this disease.
AIl the predictions of scientists
nave been overthrow by the wide
spread infection of hookworm dis
ease in this State, according to the
officials of the Health Department.
Following the discovery of the
disease in the South, it was gener-
ally supposed that Virginia was
not heavily infected and it was be,
lieved that most of the ravages OF
this disease would be found in the
Cotton States. Unwilling to ac-
cept this as the case without evil
dence, the State Board of Health
made an agreement in 1910 with
the Rockfellow Sanitary Comms-
sion and undertook a detailed sur
vey of the State. While this Is
not yet complete, there is ample
evidence that hookworm disease
exists in eighty-fve of the counties
and that in at least fifty counties,
the infection is very heavy. Com
plete figures are not yet available
but officers af the Health Depart
rnent. discussing the matter yes
terday, expressed the belief that
the total number of cases in Nir-
ginia was much in excess OF one
hundred thousand.
Investigations made in nine
counties show that of 1929 school
children, 1868 or 81 per cent had
the disease, and in some schools,
more than half of the children were
backward and underdeveloped be,
cause of this disease. Already more
than Is 900 cases have been treat
ed by private physicians and al
least 5000 cases by the field in
<pectors of the Health Department
who are furnished by the SANITARY
Commission.
