Oct. l3.-The Boston Americans
are the worlds champions of 1915.
The Red Sox defeated PhiladeI
phia Nationals by a score of 3 to
4 here today in game which
was nip and tuck until the finish.
Twice the Philadelphias took
the lead, only to be tied, and
Harry Hooper finally clinched it
for the American league cham
pions by smashing a home run
into the right center stands.
1t was Hooper's big black
bIudgeon that put the Red SoX
across as winner, the California
boy smashing out two home runs
during the game.
Duffy Lewis was another hero
for Boston, his home run clOut IN
the eighth inning sending in a run
ahead of him and tying the score
when it looked like a Philadel-
phia victory.
Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-Sur-
Drises came thick and fast i'm the
fifth game of the worlds series
here today betweenN the Red Sox
and Phillies.

ran decided to work Mayer in the
box instead of the "Mighty"

surprise ran through the stands
when Mayer was announced.

when Bancroft, Paskert and Lud-
erus led an attack in the first in
ming and assembled two runs
Fosters unsteadiness in the first
inning was indicated when he hit
Stock.
Boston came right back with
the big guns. Gardeners three
bagger and Barry's single gener-
ated a run.
In the third Hooper caught the
sphere on the nose. and drove 1t
to the center field stands for
home run, knotting up the score.
His hit was the first homer OF the
series.
Both teams struggled fiercely
i'm the crucial game of the series.
A victory for CaFrigan's team
meant a worlds championship
and a win for the Phillies meant
a hope-a hope that all the dope
would be upset.
Boston's attack was so strong
that Mayer was forced from the
HOY i'm the third inning. RiXey
took up the burden.
Carrigan changed his batting
order in the third by placing
Gamer at first in place of Hob
litzel.
In the fourth inning the PhilheS

County Agricultural Society.

At farmers meeting at the court
house last Saturday a county agri-
cultural society was organized. The
east end of the county was very we'll
represented at the meeting, but the
attendance from other parts of the
county was little disappointing to
the promoters of the enterprise.
Enthusiasm was not lacking, how.
ever, on the part Of those who were
present, and all the preliminaries
necessary to give the nstitution a
good: start on career of usefulness
was disposed of. VIM. Clincb was
chairman of the meeting and N. J.
Bray acted as secretary.
The society is organized according
to the state requirements, which pro-
vides certain benefits from the state,
and under which it will be associa-
ted in a manner with the state agri-
cultural society. All the details Of
thesplan Of organization are not now
before us but we will give these
later.
A board of managers consisting
of two at large and one from each
town in the county was elected as
follows:
Directors at large-H. o. Engel-
sen and VIM. Clinch; Unorganized
territory-Clyde Roberts; Hovland

son; Maple Hlll-Jorgen Peterson;
Roseb"sh- Chris Murphy; Grand
Marais Vsllage-Robert Howenstine
Grand Marais Town-Herman Hell

Il. A. Godin; Schroeder-Carl
Fridblom.
Each town in the county will be
asked tor an appropriation of fifty
dollars for the agricultural society,
as the nucleus of fund for the
holding of Its first fair this fall.
Under state requirements where at
least $4,000 is paid out in prem
iums for the agricultural and indus
trial exhibit, the amount may be re-
funded by the state, because OF
which, it is important to start with a
premium fund of that amount.

JOHN B. leSAGE CAUGHT. :
Is Serving -Four Years in Maine
:. Prison on Forgery Charge.


AS the result of telegraphic com.
munication with the authorities at
Lewiston, Maine, who reported the
arrest of John B. LeSage and that
he was being held for the authorities
of this county, Sheriff Lien departed
about ton days ago, with requisition
papers issued by Governor Ham
mond, to bring tile fugitive back to,
this county to answer an indictment
found against him at tho last term
of court.
The sheriff returned last night
without his man.
1t appears that the case against
LeSage, on which he was convicted
in Maine was of such nature that
they were ready to waive their rights
in the matter and turn him over to
the Minnesota authorities had it not
been for "break" made by John
the day before Sheriff Liens arrival.
The offense of which he was con-
victed in Maine was the attempted
passing of forged check for $24.00;
upon which, however, obtained no
money. He was passing then under
the name of John Harris, and the
fake check was issued by "John Bel
den."
AS the result of his trial he was
convicted and sentenced to four
years, but enforcement of the sen.
tence was held in abeyance with the
intention of turning HIM over to the
Minnesota authorities. With the
proceeds of money order received
by the prisoner from friends at the
500 he brlbed trusty to help him
to escape. The trusty informed the
Jail authorities of the scheme, and
as a result Of the investigation that
followed it was found that the plot.
included a purpose TO murder the
Jail attendants, if necessary, in the
break for liberty. Another inmate
of the Jail was involved with John
in the plot.
AS result Of these developments
the presiding judge concluded that
the sentence imposed should be car
ried out, thus preventing delivery to
Sheriff Lien.
1t will be remembered that Le-
Sage, who was committed awaiting
trail, escaped from the county Jail
in this county about year ago and
has been at large since. Mr.. Lien
talked with him at the jail in Lewis
ton. He says the fellow presented
"down and OUT appearance, and
that he would very much prefer to
come back to Minnesota to face the
charges standing against him here.
