Chicago, Dec. 19.-Information to
the effect that eleven ChioAgoans Of
German extraction, some Of them
prominent, are engaged in the manu-
facture in this city Of explosives for
use in blowing up plants in which am
munition and other war materials are
manufactured, has been placed in the
hands Of a government official in the
form OF an affidavit and was turned
over to Hinton G. Clabaugh, chief Of
the local bureau Of investigation of
the department Of justice.
The affidavit is said to have been
made and turned over to the govern
ment official with great secrecy. Its
author is described as a young man
who was born in the United States.
but whose parents came from France.
He succeeded in getting into the Sc
crets of the eleven men he names
through using an assumed name and
representing himself as a German.
Describes Gigantic Plot.
The affidavit made by him is said
to 60 into great detail and describes
Chicago as the center of a gigantic
pro-German plot. It is declared that
already great quantities of explosives
have been made in Chicago and
shipped to other parts of the country
TO be used In the destruction of muni-
lions plants. The men who actually

Lewis led the batting, with a mark Of

Added to this, the value OF their out
field defence was even beyond the
power of their attack. They cut of
more hits and more runs than they
made. Duffy Lewis alone would have
beaten any ordinary club. No outhelder
in worlds series history has ever be
fore given such an all around exhibit
zion of rare worth, or has been such a
vital factor in a ba.l dub success.
As for the Phillies. they made "a

OWNERS LOSE BIG
PILE OF MONEY
Close to $4,000 Must Go
Back to Boston Fans,
with Series Over.

Boston, Oct. f3.-When Harry
Hooper drove his second home run into
the right field stands this afternoon
and clinched the title OF worlds cham
pions for the Red Sox collective Boston
lost its reason. That drive in the ninth
inning will live long in the memories
Of those who saw the game. II will
never die in Hooper's mind; but II was
costly blow TO the owners of the
Boston and Philadelphia clubs.
The fans purchased blocks of three
tickets for the series in Boston, and
not less than $4,000 will have 20 be re-
turned in exchange for the unused
coupons. And so Harry Hooper erected
one more monument 10 the honesty Of
the great sport of baseball.
The word 80 quickly passed about
that Boston again was the home OF the
worlds baseball champions, though
greeted with noisy demonstrations In
front Of every bulletin board, was re-
ceived with mixed feelings By thou
sands Of enthusiasts.
The victory OF the Red SoI was q
popular one, and Lewis and Hooper,
heroes of the contest, were especially
applauded, but through the crowds was
voiced again and again during the
game the wish that the teams might
return here for another contest. There
was no lack OF support for the local
team in the feeling-only a dominating
desire 70 enjoy again the tension and
thrill Of another worlds series game.
Proposals TO celebrate the victory Of
the Red Sox by banquet. at which the
players would be guests were dis
cussed tonight in several quarters, but
under limitations caused by request
Of President Lannin that there be no
such observance. Mayor Curley, after
the Red Sox had won to-day, said that
his intention 10 celebrate the victory
with dinner was abandoned out Of
Difference 70 the wishes Of tho club
president.
Mr. Lannin had told him, the Mayor
said, that the members Of the team
probably would not remain together II
they gained the title in Philadelphia,
although they would have TO meet later
70 start on the trip West.

Red Sox Ever Coming from
Behind with Attack
That Finally Brings
Them Victory.
py JEROME REALTY
By JEROME BEATTY.

philadelphia, Oct. 13.-They told us
in Philadelphia last week that the Red
Sox were spineless; that once headed,
they pulled up to painting stop and
Quit. Bostons back was barred to-day
and instead Of a yellow streak SHINING
in the sun the Phillies saw there
wide line Of true blue.
The Red Sox were always coming
from behind to-day, and because they
had a superior attack and better de-
fence they beat the Phillies by score
of 70 4 and took the deciding game
of the series.
The twenty thousand fans in the
stands in Philadelphia and the million
or more who were scattered over the
country watching the bulletin boards
fully expected Pat Moran to send Alex
ander in to oppose the Red Sox to-day.
Instead. he picked Erskine Mayer, who
was beaten by Foster in the second
game of the series by score or z 10 l.
The entire baseball world was aston
ished when the Philadelphia battery
was announced.
Perhaps Moran had some inside in
formation. He may have known. or
guessed, that to-day Foster lacked the
power and cunning that allowed MN
TO hold the Phillies TO three hits on
Saturday. Foster was, indeed, a rather
bad pitcher to-day. But Mayer, who
was benched in the third, and RixeY
who followed him, were worse.
Moran, ii was clear, expected ms CLUB
TO make runs to-day. Had Mayer or
Rixey been bit more effective Moran
would have been heraded as a great
strategist, for he would have had Alex
ander ready for tomorrow and the
next day. As il was, Philadelphia to-
night is loud in its complaint because
Alexander was not sent in TO hold back
the Sox when the Phillies had u two
run lead.
Playing for all the remaining games
or for none, the Phillies got none.
II was easily the most interesting
contest Of the series. Something al
ways was popping.
Here's the story, play by play, OF
how Boston cleared from the track

grounds that were thought TO be made

and when Hooper hit two home runs,

ninth. and here's the dope on Lewis,
who hit for four bases with a man on

that was thought to be all Phila-
delphia's;

Philadelphia-This was a quick one
for Foster. Gardner threw out Stock.

him, Bancroft flied to Hooper Paskert
made his second hit Of the game, a
single over second. Cravath was at
bat when Paskert tried TO steal, only
TO be an easy out, Thomas to Scott.
Fourth Inning.
Boston-A football play was intro
duced by the Red Sox in this inning
and they got away with il. Lewis flied
TO Whitfield and, after Gardner walked,
Barry hit a sharp grounder TO Stock,
who threw to Niehof, forcing Gardner.
Niehof threw to first, trying for
double, just as aGrdner crashed into
him, making flying tackle that threw
Niehof of the ground. The throw 70
first was bad, of course, and Barry was
safe. The umpires let the play pass.
Cravath went back 70 the fence and
caught Thomas's drive.
Philadelphia Foster famed Cravath,
but Luderus met fast one amidships
and smashed 1t high over the right field
fence for a home run, breaking the
tie. The Philly fans cried out like
marooned men sighting sail Phils-
delphla now had three runs, and Lu-
derus had driven them all in. Whitted
popped 10 Gardner. Niehoh singled 70
centre IL was his first hit in fourteen
times TO bat. Burns singled 20 right.
Hooper made a great throw TO third,
attempting 10 catch Niehof there, but
the ball bounded out Of Gardeners

ball quickly and Niehoff dashed back

toss was bad, Thomas knocking the
ball down and following il as !, rolled
toward the pitchers box. The home
plate was left exposed and Niehof tore
out for il. beating Thomas. who raced
back. Foster should have covered the
plate. Burns took second as Niehoh
scored The count was now 20 2.
The Philadelphia fans tore their
throats out. After things had quoted
the umpires decided that Niehoh was
entitled TO score on the play and that
all the FUSS was for nothing. There
was ground rule, they remembered
that runners could take two bases on
