Capt John Leavy was the tossed ten goals in the netting and also did good floor work. Frank Langhammer was not very far behind this record with six fine baskets
 Pat Hurley was the same. gingery aroused the cheers by his snappy passing and blocking. Jim Morrison did not play up to his usual form but Cahill was in fine fettle. He made the most sensational shot of the local season when he threw a basket from cult angle. Cah1ll also made four other goals.
 Bob Hoffman was the big noise for the Cranes. He slipped ten into the curtains, sometimes making the toss with two or three players clinging to him. Peachy Graham came across with three baskets. Bill Langhammer and Jack Eagan also did we'll. The substitution of Eagan and Graham for Atherton and Barnsley gave the Cranes a heavier team and helped them hold the enemy down.

I. dELY HITTING BEATS MIGHTY
MATHEWS0N.

With Two Runs Needed to Triumph,

Boston.-The Boston Red Sox, pen
hant winners OF the American League,
are the worlds champions of 1912. De.
ieating the New York Nationals by a
score of 3 to ., in ten innings of a bit
terly fought struggle, they captured their
fourth victory OF the worlds series and
carried of the premier honors in base
ball.
The Giants won three games OF the
series that was played before more than
n quarter of a million people and one
contest was a tie.
Nine innings Of a pitching duel be-
tween the master boxman Of the Giants,
Christy Mathewson, and the stripping
Bedient and Smoky joe Wood for the
Red Sox, found the two contcnders for
championship hOnors with a tally each.
Englc led off for the Red SOx in the
last half Of the tenth. He had gone to
the bat for Joe Wood. The Red SoX
pinch hitter sent up a towering fly to
left center. Snodgrass muifed it, and
before the ball was recovered Engle was
on second base.
Speaker swung his big bat. On a line
over Doyle's head the ball was driven,
and Engle rushed over the plate with the
tying run. On the throw-in Yerkes went
to third and Speaker dashed on to sec
ond.
Gardner, with three balls and one
strike on him, smashed a long fly to De
wore. Yerkes set himself at third and
dashed into home when the ball dropped
into Devore's hands.
Mathewson, who saw the throw would
be wild, threw up his hands, and Meyers
turned away without trying for the ball.
Ycrkcs did not know the throw was wild,
however, and he plunged headforemost
and slid over the plate in a cloud of dust
with the run that won the championship
for the Red Sox.

BLOODY BATTLE
IN mPEN|1ENT|ARY
TWO MUTINEERS SLAIN, AND
EIGHT CITIZENS DEAD.
TROOPS ARE CALLED FOR
Fierce Battle Within Prison Between
the Guards and Prisoners. Over
Twenty COnvicts Get Away and
Start a Riot in Town.

Rawlins, Wyo.-A battle ragged in
the state penitentiary. Locked inside
the walls with hundreds of mutinous
prisoners, a few guards fought desper'
ately to restore order and prevent a
wholesale Jail delivery.
Camped outside the walls was a force
of citizens heavily armed, ready to drive
back the c%onvicts if they murdered the
remaining guards and made a rush
through the gates. Shouts and occa-
slonal shots told of desperate fighting
within the walls.
Another battle was in progress at the
same time in the hills south of Raw
Inns, between a posse of citizens and
from twenty to forty escaped prisoners.
Two men were killed in the streets of
Rawlins, n was desperately wounded
and two convicts were recaptured, fol-
lowing the escape of from ten to thirty
.turisoners.
" frantic kilograms were sent to Gov.
carey, imploring him to send state
troops to protect the citizens. Towns.
people barricaded themselves in their
homes or heavily armed patrolled the
streets.
The outbreak was the second within
twenty-four hours. Twenty prisoners
escaped and nine were recaptured. A
party of desperate life-termers overpow-
cred the keeper of the dollhouse, took
his keys and released their comrades
in their cells. Every prisoner willing
to risk a battle with the guards made
a rush for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard a fusillade of shots within
the walls. A bedlam of shouts and wells
echoed from the prison. A few seconds
later more than a dozen men dashed
down the main street armed with guns
and knives. Holding the few citizens on
the street at bay with revolvers, they
charged into a livery barn, holding up
the proprietor and hastily throwing sad
dies and brides on the horses.
A huge negro with a revolver was left
as guard on the outside. Charles Stress
ner had heard the commotion and came
down the street with a shotgun. The
negro shot him through the head, kill
ing him instantly.
At the sound of the shot the convicts
swarmed from the barn, some with stol-
en- horses and some afoot. A Mexican
wantonly stabbed the proprietor in the
face, severely wounding him, and a few
seconds later paid for the deed with his
life. Hugh Rogner, a deputy sheriff,
shot him twice, killing him almost in
stantly.
Leaving their dying comrade, the con-
victs made a dash for the rocky hills
south of the town. A party of peniten-
tiary guards followed in close pursuit
and before the bewildered citizens had
time to form a posse, pursuers and fugi-
tives had disappeared among the hills.

.ROOSEVELT'S WOUND
HEALS OVER BULLET
IT IS IMBEDDED IN HIS FRACTURED
FOURTH RIB.
is NO SIGN OF INFECTION
Fracture Also Will Be Allowed to Heal
Untreated-ColOnel Was in Best of
Spirits-May Not Speak Again
Before November 5.

Chicago.-The bullet wound inflicted
in Col. Theodore Roosevelt's chest at
Milwaukee Monday night, it was Off
cially announced Wednesday for the first
time, is healing normally without infec-
tion. The statement that no compli-
cations have shown themselves was made
after a day during which the first sue
cessful X-ray picture of the wound in the
colonels chest was examined by the sur
geons. The fact developed that the
wound by the assassin's bullet fractured
the colonel's fourth rib. The missile
remains imbedded, apparently in the
bone. The fracture, however, it is
stated, will not affect the treatment any
way, but will be allowed to heal un-
treated, as will the wound.
A description of the wound given by
Dr.. w. B. McCauley is the first to be
given to the public by the surgeons. He
said that the bullets path through the
muscles of the chest is lacerated to some
extent by the battered lead, but that
there was little confusion and no Excess
sive area of bruised and e~xtravasated
flesh surrounding tissues.
"The bullet did not mushroom as
might have been expected" said DR.. Nc
Cauley. "For that reason it cut a COM
paratively small hole in the skin and
did not reduce a large portion of the
nearby tissues to pulp, as is the case
in alsoft bullet that mushrooms in ami
NAL tissue after it hits a bone. l think
the bundle of papers in Col. Roosevelt's
pocket checked it and the spectacle case
for some reason failed to spread the bull
let much.
"The wound is about big enough to
put your finger in at the surface and it
does not appear to get very much bigger.
l would call it a very clean wound. The
skin is torn at the surface in a ragged
way, but not badly, and there is little
bruising.
There is not a sign of suppuration
in the wound. The flesh is in good con-
dition and seems to be healing without
complication. If there were pus form
ing deep in the wound we would know
it at once by an unusual rise of temper
ature."
DIR. McCauley added that it is now GER
tain from the X-ray pictures that the
bullet has not entered or injured the plu-
raj cavity, removing a grave possibility
in the case.
