College Lads Could Not

Normal basketball fans are jubilant
today over the winning Of the basket
ball last night at Morgantown from
thew. ". u. FIVE. &
But It was simply case OF the To-
cal boys being in more seasoned con-
dition, and at the finish OF the game
they had enough more steam to rush
the tired w. " o. boys on their feet
and score the winning point.
The w. ". q. boys outplayed them
in the early part OF the game and dis
played better team work and better
shooting ability. The local team, how.
ever, had the advantage OF longer
training and q corresponding better
wind and muscle.
Davis OF the local team was ruled
out because OF personal fouls in the
last minute of play. All Of the local
boys played good game, although
Don Arnett scored most Of the bas-
kets by sticking close to the basket
and depending on the team work Of
Hughes, Davis, Reed and Hawkins to
assist him.
Rodgers was the star for W. v. o.
and scored 10 points for his team. The
teams lined.up as follows:

He can hit that old

which makes things worse.
When peace was declared between

Many Stay Up All Night to Be in Line When Gates Open and Build Fires to Keep Chill Off.

Boston, Oct. "A crowd of great for the opening game of the world series of 1916. The Brooklyns, win ners of the National league pcnnant, challenging the American league su- premacy defended by the Boston club, holders of the world championship of last year, proved an object of wide appeal to baseball enthusiasts.
 The teams were favored in their first meeting by weather conditions closely approaching the ideal. The day was almost summer-ike, with only a slight tang of autumn in the air, which caused some spectators to bring wraps. There was no wind to enter into the calculations of fielders. Clouds were fleece like and with no portent of rain.
 It was in this atmosphere, sur- charged with the current of basebalps greatest event, that the crowd gathered and exchanged gossip of the probabilities of play. Who will pitch for Boston, was the big question be- fore the game. Manager Carrigan had upset calculations at the eleventh hour by authorizing the statement that his selection would be Ruth, Shore or Mays. Ruth was regarded as his probable choice. Those close to him had indicated twenty-four hours previously that Leonard would pitch. The reason for the latter's elimination did not develop.
 For Brooklyn it was thought Mar guard would serve his left handed shoots which had proven effective against the Red SoX team in the series of 1912, when he appeared as a member of the New York Nationals.
 The identity of opposing pitchers was a considerable factor in the com position of the ineups of either team, both Manager Robinson of Brooklyn and Carrigan relying on interchange able outfields to bring out added strength. Stengel, a weak batsman aganst left handed pitchers. has no chance in a Brooklyn line up against Ruth or Leonard. His place will be taken by Johnston. Similarly, Wal ker, Speakers successor at center field for Boston, would be thrown out of competition with Marquard in the

INSANE WOMAN ON
 MIDNIGHT RAMPAGE
Miss Gertrude M. Ta11is of 61 Main Street Becomes ViOlent-PO-
 liceman Criticised.

Miss Gertrude M. Tallis, who has apartments for rent at 61 Main street, went violently insane about 130 o'clock this morning and ran scream smashed the glass window in the door of one of the boarders rooms, declaring that someone was about to murder him. The womans hands and arms were badly cut by the brol- en glass.
 Miss Tallis went from one fit of violent insanity into another and an officer was detailed to watch. her dur ing the remainder of the night. Dr. Anderson was called in to dress her wounds and also gave her hypodermic which quieted her some what. This morning she was so vio- lent that it required the efforts of Officers George Moffitt and Michael Cosgrove to keep her quiet. Dr. George w. Dunn examined her and she was then taken to the insane ward al the town farm for further ob- servation. The woman is about forty years of age and has no relatives in this country. She is a native of Eng land.
 Residents of the block in which the insane woman lived were loud this morning in their criticism of Ser geant T. M. Herting, who was in charge at police headquarters last night. They state that he at first re- fused to detail an officer to watch the woman last night, explaining that he did not have one to send. They state furthermore that it was not until they threatened to ask assistance ce from the mayor that the sergeant sent a patrolman to the house.

 Bonfires Burn Cff Mists.
 The mass of people who swarmed through the broad reaches of Braves Field, chosen as the stage for the local games because of it's tremendous seating capacity, grew rapidly from small groups who had spent the nght at the bleacher gates. The night line was smaller than had preceded any world series game played in this city in recent years. At daybreak, knots of fifty persons each were gathered on tho threshold of the park, awaiting the opening of the gates Some slept. others walked about, while more eagerly read fore casts of the game in morning news papers. Bonfires were lighted to burn off the morning mists which came off the Charles river.
 The first sizeable addition to the crowd came in an automobile party from Jaffrey. N. H. Soon the street cars began to unload on either side of the grounds. Out of town en- thusiasts poured in by automobile and train. Many carried suit cases or boxes, serving the double purpose of a seat and lunch receptacle.
 The barriers were swung clear at g o'clock and all were forced to pass immediately into the grounds. There they found the field ironed into per feet playing condition, the sears of a seasons spikes removed. A platform to the right of the home plate aroused curiosity, until a groundkeeper eX- plained that it was for the use Of moving picture men. The great ca pacity of the field had been. extended by 5000, providing space for 45,OOO persons through the erection of a fence across right field from the smaller stand to the wall. These standing spaces together with 2,O0o seats in the extreme right field corner sold at 50 cents each. a price so low that the gates were damned at an hour when the grandstand entrances were deserted.
 Reservations All Sold. Reservations, however, had been virtually sold out hours ahead. So great was the demand that could not be satisfied, some of it from friends of club officials and players, that President J. J. Lannin of the Red Sox increased an. earlier offer of a

GERMAN WARSHIP,
 U-53, AT NEWPORT

Newport, R. l., Oct 7. The German submar- rine U-53 from Wil- helmshaven arrived in the habor this after noon. She crossed the ocean in Y days.
 The U-53 is a man of war, flies the flag of the German Navy and has a single gun mounted on her deck.
 The submarine an- chored in the outer har- bor two miles down the bay. No one came ashore but a representative of the Associated Press was allowed to go aboard and learn the vessels story. The U-53 will go outside the harbor for anchorage during the night.
 The U-53, in command of Lieut.. Captain Hans Rose, appeared spic and span upon her arrival here and looked as if she had been out only for maneuvers. Her con- mander reported that he had not sighted any hos tile craft on his voyage over, adding that the boat was plentifully SUD- piled with provisions and fuel and that nothing would be taken aboard here.
 Short after the sub- mersible came in, Conn., mander Rose paid an off, ficial call upon Rear Ad- moral Austin M. Knight, commandant of the Mar rangansett Bay Naval Station to whom he stated that he was pre- pared to leave port to- night.
 The newspaper man who boarded the subma- rine was asked to bring ashore a large batch of official mail for Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador, and this was forwarded this afternoon.
 Commander Rose said that he had a sufficient supply of food aboard to last for three months. Be- sides the commander the vessel carries four off, cers and B men.

 The entente campaign against Monastir in southern Serbia, is devel- oping rapidly from both the south and the east.
 While allied forces have pressed to within about six miles from Monastir on the south, the Serbians have, ad- vanced northwest from Kaimakcalan on the western slopes of the Nije ridge.
