LEAGUE SEASON ENDS.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 6.-With num-
Der of double headers, the National
league season came to an end today,
with Boston taking the pennant. In
the closing games in this city, Bos-
ton lost one by score of 8 to 2
and took the other by to g.
Second in interest to the race for
the pennant was the fight made by
the Cardinals for second position.
The St Louis aggregation played
good, consistent ball since the latter
part of August, and il would not
have surprised anybody to see them
land ahead of the Giants, and they
would have done so had it not been
for the winning streak which ia
vored the McGraw men in the last
few days of the season.
In the American league race, the
showing made by the Red Sox was
all that could be expected. An in
teresting feature, in comparing the
two Boston teams, is the fact that
each won 81 and lost 81 games, and
in one case it gets pennant while
in the other it is good only for sec
ond place.
The Boston Braves will 90 to
Philadelphia tomorrow to practice up
for the opening game of the world
series. which is to start at Shibe
park on Friday afternoon.
Following are the scores of to-
days games:
American league: New York 2.

FRANCE.

That the Germans are still gain
ing ground in Northern France is
the report that comes directly from
Paris Similar reports come from
Berlin, but the British war office
in London makes no announcements
concerning the situation in France.
The report from Paris states that
the right wing of the German army
in the vicinity of Lille is materially
reinforced and it is intimated that
the German success there is due to
that fact.
In the report from Berlin, it is
stated that the Germans have been
moving forward steadily, and that
the latter are now holding strong
positions on the left which were
formerly occupied by the allies.
While the British war office re-
fuses to make any statement re-
garding the situation in France,
there is a report current in London
TO the effect that the allies have
been forced back for little dis
lance.
A Berlin dispatch states that the
information has been brought to
that city that there is much suffer
ing behind the lines of the allies
in France. 1t is said that in the
department of the Marine there is
total of about 100000 people who
are suffering for food and other
necessaries of life of which they
have been more or less deprived
since the fighting began.
GERMANY.
In dispatch from Berlin, it is
stated that the fact that German
war ships have been sailing about
for some time without meeting with
any attack is a matter Of much sur
prise at the German capital, where
it had been expected that the Teuton
fleet would meet with opposition at
an early date.

From the seat of the French gov

werp is slackening, and this has
given rise to the belief that the
Germans will be compelled to give
up their attacks on the city.

Inducements that are being hurried

if they can reach Antwerp before

The surrender of Antwerp means
much to the Germans and will ma

succeed in taking Antwerp. they will
be in position to aid the German
