There will be no attempt to take Naco at daylight this morning. This is authoritative. if the word of Gov. Maytorcna carries any weight At one ocloeK this morning the Review'9 special staff correspondent at the front returned from a trip to Gov. May torena's headquarters, where he talk ed with him for over two hours.
 "The principal reason shall not attack in the morning. said General Maytcrena, is that today ] shall re ceive endorsements Of 1,QOO troops from soldiers from the south ern pa of the state who have joined my cause the past two weeks. In addition l shall have 250.0OO more rounds of ammunition, which wfyh the SO,OOO rounds I received today ought 10 give me plenty to take a score Of towns the size of Naco. To not say just when, but in a day or so when I assemble all my men and ammllition l shall take Naco anl take it without much trouble.
 The reason we jailed to take the town Sunday morning was because oi lack ot ammunition. Had the S0,000 rounds which received today reached me Saturday night when it was prom ised, or even Sunday morning, We would be in Naco now. The Yaquis got right up into the town, but hal to retire when their ammunition ran out"
 There was little shooting in Naco last night or yesterday. A few shots were fired to keep up appearances but there has been no real fighting since the battle Sunday morning
 Gov. Maytorena says he had eight killed and fourteen wounded Sunday l and Gen. Hill has announced his | losses as II killed and 40 wounded Persons. however, who saw the fight say Hills losses were considerably more than the figures he gave. as r dead are known to have been buried in one big grave Each side lost two captains.
 The sensation of the day at Nact yesterday was the request made b! , Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler to Gov | Hunt to have the militia remove, and turn over the protection of live and property on the American sid to him. The doughty sheriff offered to gather 500 cowboys who woul protect the town without discussing technichalities.

BOSTON, October 12-In one ot the hardest fought games ever played in a worlds series, the Boston Braves defeated the Philadelphia Athletics aj Fenway park this afternoon. Twelve innings of baseball were necessary be- fore the National League representa- tives could record their third consecu- tive victory of the present series For three hours and six minutes the two teams alternately led, tide or forged ehead in the score. The game that began in bright sunlight was won in deep twilight with electric signs flashing outside the park and the eve ming stars glimmering overhead. While not the best played game Of the series from the standpoint of technical baseball, it was so abound ing in dramatic moments, thrilling plays and baseball strategy that the 35,OOO spectators who filled the stands were lifted to superheights of enthu- siasm by the struggle.
 Phndalphia scored in the first. Bos- ton tied it in the second and in the fourth each added another run. The game continued without advantage Co either side until the tenth, when each scored two more runs. In the last of the twelfth, Gowdy doubled with Mann running for him and Gilber batting for James was passed Bushs throw to Moran's bunt went wild and scored
 The most striking feature of tht play Was the fighting spirit shown b} | the youthful combination which Man ager Stallings has gathered aroun, him 70 represent this city in the sen

 dividual and collective standpoint the, deserved the victory they won.
