RED SOX CHAMPIONS
Eight Games Required to Gain the
Pennant For 1912

Boston, Oct 17.-Jake Stahl and
his band of ball players defeated the
Giants to in a great ten inning
game, the deciding battle in the great
world series championship.
The game was the closest and most
bitterly fought of the entire eight, the
result being in doubt until the very
end.
The lions share of credit for great
victory goes to Hugh Bedient, the
yOungster, who on last Saturday
turned the tide battle in the Red Sox
favor. In the final game again for six
innings he held the Giants at bay.
Joe Wood, who finished the game,
showed his old time form and re-
deemed himself for his poor showing
Of Tuesday.
Mathewson gave early evidence that

President Bases Statement on
Report Of Wilson
BUMPlR CROPS THIS YEAR
October Prices Indicate Saving to Con-
sumner of Nearly $500 ZOO, 600
Meat Should Be Cheaper-General
Reduction Will Not Become Appar-
ent For Several Months

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 21.-In
statement issued here, based upon
reports from Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, President Taft declares that
the wave or nigh prices for food
throughout the world has begun to
subside in this country.
THE wave Of extremely high prices
for food throughout the civilized
world" the statement says, has
reached it's height in the United
States and is subsiding. The Ameri-
can people have cause to be thank
full that because of our industrial
prosperity it has not been attended
here with the great hardship which
has prevailed in some of the countries
where high prices have combined
with low wages to reduce the working
people to a point bordering on starya-
ton"
According to the announcement OF
White House officials, Secretary Will
son made an investigation Of the
causes of the prices and the effect of
the bumper crops in the United
States upon such prices. The great
prosperity of the American farmer has
brought about material decrease in
the cost of food products, although in
many instances the reduction will not
become apparent to the consumer for
several months.
The report promises that the price
of meat will decrease notably on &C
count Of the bumper corn crop after
cattle. sheep and hogs fed from thai
crop reach the consumer.
Secretary Wilson advised the presi-
dent that on the nine great crops OF
the country-cOrn, wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye, buckWhe2t, potatoes, flax
seed and hay-the October prices in
dicated a saving to the consumer Of
about 9 percent, or nearly $500 900,
900.
Mr.. Wilson's report, according tt
officials here, shows that the aggre-
gate crop in the United States will be
about 20 percent greater than it has
been for years. Summed up, the
statistics show:
Farmers will receive 81 asa 900,
600 this year, against So ,86S 900, 0O(
last year.
Flour costs at mills 80 cents pei
barrel less than last year.
Corn has dropped cents bushel
The price Of hay has fallen $2.74 {
ton This will help decrease the
prices of meat, milk, butter, cheese
and other farm products.
Oats cost 1915 cents per busAe
against 425 cents a year ago.
The sum of 1914, 500, 900 has beer
saved to the consumer on potatoes
alone. Last year they cost 1873 cents
a hushel, this year 81 5 cents.
The greatest cotton crop ON record
is expected to reduce the price Of cot.

WILSON QUITS STUMP
No More Campaign Speeches Until
Roosevelt Gets to Work

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 21.-Gov-
ernOr Wilson returned to his home
here last night, having made his last
campaign speech, he said, until Col
onel Roosevelt shall have recovered.
The governor said he had made no
plans for the immediate future, or
the remainder Of the campaign; that
requests for speeches were many, but
that he was firm in his intention OF
keeping off the stump while one of his
opponents was incapacitated.
The nominee probably will express
his views on public questions through
statements and announcements.

CLARK
HOPEFUL FOR
WATERWAY
PLAN FOR NTRACOASTAL
WATERWAY is DISCUSSED
GENERAL BIxBY, CHIEF OF EN-
GINEERS, LISTENS TO ARGU-
MENTS BY INTERESTED MEN
FROM FLORIDA.

WASHINGTON, Dec 19-'I feel
hopeful" said Congressman Frank
Clark when asked as to the prospects
for securing an additional appropri-
alton of 100000 for work in the ST
Johns river, lin that we will be sue
cessful in this matter. We took it up
with Col Sparkman, chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee,
and with John G. Christopher, the
special representative of the Jack
sonville board of trade, and made
very favorable impression,
think, before the committee.
"Of course, it must be understood
that with so many persons asking for
increases in appropriations and Flor
ida being So much of a waterway
state there may be a disposition to
hold us down somewhat in this mat
ter. However, you may say that ev-
erything within reason is being done
to further the project and that
shall leave no stone unturned to get
every available dollar which the COM
mittee feels it can rightly give u.s.
Mr. Clark and Senators Bryan and
Fletcher appeared before General
Bixby, chief of engineers, relative to
the inland waterway from Beaufort,
N. c., to Key West. In addition to
them Col. t. ]. Brown was also there
and took leading part in the meet
ing. AS Col. Brown is looking after
the interests of Key West here he
was an important factor in the gath
ering. The Floridians are enthusiast
tie over the proposition and believe
that it is only a question of time be-
fore this intercoastal waterway will
be fully developed.
