gained consciousness about seven o'clock,
and this led the physicians attending
him to hold out hope of his recovery.

tainty, it is supposed that the boy had
escaped a fractured skull. Nearly all
the injuries were to the head. which
was cut and bruised in a dangerous
manner.

Mrs. George Bnekhn. was going from

ATHLETICS FIGHT
WITH BACKS TO WALL
Rudolph and Bender Are Slated
For Another Argument To-
day; Receipts Small
BY Associated Press

Boston, Oct. 13.-The Athletics of
Philadelphia, three times baseball
champions of the world, to-day fought
with their backs to the wall to stave
off the rush of the Boston Braves. De-
feated in three successive games. one
of which was written large in worlds
series annals, the American League
contenders in the fourth game to-day
faced the necessity of winning the next
four contests in order to retain their
title.
Opposing them the Braves required
only one more game to complete their
success with worlds series honors.
1t was a desperate situation for the
men of Mack. Never in their expert
ence had they been so beset. Desperate
measures were necessary.
THE Athletics" said Harry Davis,
will play to-day as they never did be-
fore. 1t would be fatal to the future
of the team to lose four straight"
While the bleacher crowds thronged
the gates of Fenway Park this fore
moon, many of them after all night
waiting, the two teams that were to
enter the great struggle of the after
noon consulted with their mentors.
Manager Mack held long session with
his men at their hotel at which their
| plan of campaign was discussed from
| ali angles and by all the players, as
| is their custom and then was crystal
lied in instructions from their leader.
! The Braves had their session in the
| clubhouse where Manager Stallings
| characteristically laid down his orders
! for the day. Players on both sides
expressed the belief that Rudolph and
Bender would oppose each other ;Igain
! in this crucial test.
| After to-day's game the players
cease participating in worlds series
proceeds. Receipts for the first four
games probably will total $225, on
a total attendance of 10000. The
players share of the money may reach
Sis, considerably less than two
lyears ago and somewhat less than last
! year. Weather conditions continued
excellent. The air was somewhat cool
/ er than Yesterday.

them back and forth for a splendid
run of 43 points. missing masse on his
forty-fourth shot Sutton followed in
the next inning with a similarly good
performance, keeping the balls until
he compiled a score of 4S points. Sut-
ton carried the individual honors for
the high score of the evening, with a

BURIAL PLACE OF KING JOHN
Writer Declares interment Of Famous
English Monarch Took Place
at Worcester.

In the American Law Review there
appeared an article in which the
writer made an allusion to King John
OF England. and said he went ito his
unlamented rest at st. Wolstan's. I"
Now, is this correct? King John was
buried at Worcester and In the ca
thedral there, and his body has slept
in that spot until now. unless, like a
streak of morning cloud, 1t has melted
into the infinite azure of the past. In
1877. for the purpose Of identifying
the resting place Of the king and his
remains, a committee Of citizens was
appointed to investigate this matter.
The body was identified and all that
remained of 1t placed In a new mat
soleum. where 1t stands today as one
of the objects Of interest In Worces-
ter cathedral. Shakespeare. In his
king John" puts In the mouth Of
Prince Henry the following words:
AT Worcester must his body be in
TERED, for SO he willed It." Thus we
see King John was buried in Worces-
ter cathedral. and 1t Is therefore mac
curate to say ne was buried at St VOL
STAINS. The memory OF King John is
not cherished with the feeling that has
followed the lives and deaths OF some
Of England's sovereigns, and he will
be remembered only as the monarch
from whom was extorted the great
charter of English liberty. from which
this country has received large part
OF it's valued inheritance,-Ietter to
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
