BYCLOSE SCOREOF2TO1
Fosters Shoots, Sprints and Smashes Win for
Red Sox-President Wilson and His Bride
Elect Enjoy Contest at Philadelphia and
Divide Honors with the Oklahoma Farmer

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-In brilliantly
played and bitterly fought game here
this afternoon. the Boston Red Sox,
champions of the American League, were
victorious over the National League
Champions of Philadelphia by 2 to 1. 1t
was a marvelously well-payed game,
with sharp fielding and remarkably fine
pitching sitting through the entire nine
Innings.
PRESIDENT ENJOYS GAME.
The day was clear and cool, with q
bright sun favoring the event, and the
crowd both in and outside much larger
than on yesterday. The game brought
more constant applause owing to the
close score and the remarkably smooth
and accurate movements of all the play
FRS engaged in one of the finest games
ever staged for a post-season series.
President Wilson and his fnancee oc-
cupied a front box. and the President
tossed out the first ball, which later was
handed to him as a souvenir Of the
event. He seemed thoroughly to enjoy
the great ball playing and remained I'M
I'll the last man was out.
The players grouped about to welcome
the distinguished party. and the game
was highly complimented by President
Wilson's presence. Better still, the MEM
beers of both teams played clean and
hard, as true sportsmen.
BOSTON OFF IN LEAD
Boston took the lead in the first inning
and held it until the fifth, when the
home team tied the score on doubles by
"a bo
NAMED tie until the Red Sox scored
the winning run in the ninth on a single
by Gardner and double by George Fos-
ter.
With Boston ahead by one run in the
ninth both teams tightene1 and put
everything they could into their work.
Foster, who had sent his team into the
lead, was pitching a wonderful game,
and the Quakers sent in the head Of
their batting list
Stock tried hard to work n base on
balls, but was forced at last to hit He
met the ball fairly and sent it on a
screaming line to left. we'll to the right
of Lewis and headed for the bleachers
but Lewis was on his toes and with a
most graceful wave took the fast-travel-
Ing ball well over his head and to one
side.
Bancroft, a clever man, also tried TO
work base on balls, bringing the count
down to three and two. Then Foster cut
a speed ball over for a called strike, and
there was but one more man to land be-
fore the Qlhkers were done for.
Paskert took healthy swing and sent
the ball flying to centerficld, where

 Whether or not the schoolma am feels unified, we do not know. If she is the young and pretty sort with fair prospects of becoming some mans wife and spending the remainder of her life without having to teach school for $40 or $50 a month, the chances are that she laughs, too. The elderly sort is apt to be-well, just a trifle austere, which is very good for purposes of discipline, but even she is not "lady demon."
 Everybody realizes and appreciates the good work done by the school ma lam in the little red schoolhouse. Both are enshrined in the hearts of the American people and there is an evident determination to improve both the schoolhouse and the lot of the teacher by building better schools and paying the teachers more.

It Wa. a Great Fair

The State Fair which closed Satur- day was great event--by far the best fair ever held in Alabama said M. ". Joseph of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb.
 The live stock and other farm ex- hibits were of very high value, both in the way of advertising the resources of the state and in arousing the spirit of emulation among our husbandmen.
 As for the crowds from out of town, they were not only large, but I have never known visitors who gave such un- mistakable evidences of prosperity. Most of those who came to see the fair were also on shopping bent. Our concern had all exceptionally big week The visi- tors not only bought freely. but they wanted high quality and were ready to pay the price.
 President R. A. Brown and those who worked with him to make the fair the splendid success it was deserve unstinted praise. For next season the fair associa- ton should have larger exhibit buildings, and It will have them If the business men Of Birmingham show the proper cooper alton. The only<fing needed is more civic pride, more civic activity on the part of our citizens.i
