WORLD BASE BALL
TITLE IN BALANCE
Defeat of Philadelphia by Bos-
ton Today Would End
the Series.
DICK RUDOLPH PRIMED
TO PITCH FOR BRAVES
Young Shawkey Is Chosen by Connie
Mack to Try to Twirl Ath-
letics to Victory.
BATTING ORDER.

FENWAY PARK. Boston, October
13-"The world championship in four
straight games," was the cry of the tri-
umphant Boston Braves. champions OF
the National League, as they swung
their battle format alton against the Ath-
letics today in the fourth game of the
world base ball series.
I'VE will win today and end the Sc
ries," said Manager George Stallings. as
he took his seat on the Boston bench.
Rudolph is primed to carry us to final
victory. I said we had the best team
in base ball. and we have proved it"
The pennant winners of the American
League are today in their last line of
intrenchments. Shelled out of their
first and second line of forts, the Phila-
delphians realize that on the fragile
thread of today's game hung their
chances in the series. A defeat means
the passing Of the big title in base ball
to Boston.
Jack Barry Is Optimistic.

said Shortstop Jack Barry Of the Ath-
letics, "and, while we know that We
must take four straight to win the Sc

form. while we certainly are not going
at our best gait. Once under way the
Athletics will show their class"
Shawkey, the Athletics young right
handler, was chosen by Connie Mack to
try to stave off the loss of the world
title.
Boston made it another holiday to-
day. Thousands took the day OFF and
thropged to Fenway Park hours be-
fore the gates were opened. Nearly
every seat in the the unreserved stand
was dlled at noon, and hundreds stood
up against the fences. Reserved seats
sold at premium. More than 10000
persons were in Fenway Park by
game time.
Little Betting on the Series.
There was little betting on the series,
as the large majority of the fans"
said Boston was sure winner, and no
one wanted the short end. Wagers
were made at 10 to 9 that Boston
would capture the contest today
Batting and fielding practice kept
the crowd on the keen edge of enthu-
siasm for two hours before the game.
Flushed with victory the Bostons went

over their foes today with all speed
and dispatch. The Athletics also warmed
to their woE1, and their infield showed
some sterling practice with ball and bat

STILL FEARS GERMAN SPIES.
Lord Charles Beresford Calls on
British People to Act.

LONDON, October 13.-Notwithstand-
ing the reassuring statement issued by
the home office to the effect that the
spy system established by Germany in
this country has been completely
broken up, Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford. retired, is convinced that it still
exists and constitutes a grave menace
to the safety of the country.
In a letter published yeserday Lord
Charles calls upon his countrymen ito

crowd of alien enemies in our midst"
He urges that meetings be held in

LONDON, October 13.-That disposi-
tions are now being made by both the
Germans and the French and British
allies for a big battle between Lens
and Cassel, on the westward wings OF
the opposing hosts, is deduced here from
the fragmentary information disseminated
belligerent powers. Cassel is eighteer
miles inland from the fortified seaport
of Dunkirk. on the Straits OF Dover.
The claims of decisive victories, dis
posing of the resistance Of either side
have dropped out of fashion, since they
SO often have proved untrue or greatly
exaggerated, and since it has become rec
ognized that the possibility of brilliant
coups and surprises by enterprising com
manders has been largely eliminated by
the intelligence supplied by aviators
Changes Favor the Allies.
Along the battle line Of the Aisne the
very brief official communication given
out in Paris declares that what little
change there has been in the situation
fayors the allies. The chief alteration
in this line, however, seems to be ITS
disnosition to stretch toward the shores
of the channel.
A most interesting bit of news from
the western front is found in the re-
ports from various sources that seVera,
of the forts around Antwerp are stu
occupied by the defenders. II this Is
true it is argued here that possibly
the expected reinforcements for the Ger
man right wing may not be sent Tor
ward in time.
Reports also continue to reach London
that the great activity of the German
cavalry near Lille is screening move
ment to cover the retreat of the army
of Gen. Won Kluck. Such retreat Is
said even to be under way to the north
and to the northeast.
Artillery Duel Near Belfort.
A correspondent at The Hague tele-
graphs that, according to special dis
patch to the Cologne Gazette from Zurich
Switzerland, a large number of civilians
who arrived in Zurich from Belfort re-
port that an artillery duel was progress
ing in the direction of Belfort when they

All eyes today are turned to the
eastward, where, under conditions OF
the utmost secrecy, the Teutonic allies
and Russians are preparing to engage
in what may prove one of the most
decisive combats of the war. Evidence
is accumulating to show that this gi-
gantic conflict will be determined in
Russian Poland and the only question
disturbing British experts is as to
which side has chosen the battle-ground

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflama-

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Exercise.

SSCTCtS0.
The surroundings 90 a long
way toward making exercise
beneficial. That work at which
one wins his daily bread is tire
some usually. 1t is restraint. He
works because he must earn
money. And there is just as
much physical unfitness among
workingmen as there is among
business men.
Light exercise that is enjoyable
OFTEN does much more good than
heavy exercise that Is forced.
That is why games which are
founded on exercise do much
more good than the same time
spent in housecleaning, making
barrels or hauling lumber.
Recreation is the first cousin of
exercise, and when the two are
combined the results are always
more commendable. Exercise
without mental response is an
impossibility.
Exercise should embrace all
physical processes-circulation Of
the blood, tearing down of worth
less tissue. upbuilding of live
tissue, fresh air and all else that
goes to feed every portion of the
body and keep 1t healthy. And
work at the bench ofttimes lacks
one, two or half a dozen essen
tials and is therefore muscular
abuse rather than Muscular use.

MINING LAWS IN TANGLE.

Mining Iau-o Of Alaska aTe Ill such loss to know what to do. There is much criticism of the new terri torial law, but even if i is found to be valid it will greatly improve present conditions. as now no man is ab- solutely certain that he is safe in following out the provisions of either the old or the new law.
 The safest way, it seems, is for the miner to conform to the new terri torial law as far as it is possible without violating the provisions of the former laws on the same sub jeCt
 There are two ways by which the present situation can be materially improved. One of these is for the .erritorial legislature. if a special session is called to annul its pre- yious mining law and leave the miner with the old law which they all understand. Another way is to bring the matter before the court in a test case and have it finally determined by what method a man can locate a claim without being in danger of losing title to it.
 Representative Driscoll says that he will present a bill to the legisla ture, if special session is held, providing for annuling the present territorial mining law, and it is quite certain that he will meet with little opposition in this regard, for the new mining law is anything but popular in Alaska.
 There are some good features in the territorial mining law, one of which is the limitation that it places upon the power of few men to gain control of a large area of ground. But there are some other features which overbalance the good in the law and make it a cumbersome af fair.
 If the new mining law prevails it is pointed out that only men with means can keep up the assessments on large properties and it is sug- gested that one of it's purposes is to crowd the poor man out.
