commoGete the large crowds that will at
tenc the series.
President Baker proposed that the Sc
ries begin on Monday, October 9, but this
was vetoed by the commission as being
an unnecessary delay, as was a sugges-
ton that the play start Friday, October
6, on the grounds that the National
league winner required day or two of
rest before being flung into the world S
series against the Boston Red Sox, who
clinched their league pennant two days
ago. The commission also dismissed the
proposal to alternate the games between
the contending cities, but decided that
in case more than four games were nee
essary, the fifth and sixth would be al
ternate with the place of the seventh de-
csion by the tossing of a coin.
Selection of umpires for the series was
delayed until after the outcome of the
National league race was definitely
known. 1t is probable that the two Amer
lean and two National league arbiters
who will work in the series for fee
of $1,000 each, will be named tomorrow.

! Birmingham boys seldom leave their
native state to attend some college, and
while there gain fame This year, how
ever, there is an exception. Up at Van
derbilt, local youth Is winning all sorts
of praise and promises to develop into
wonder on the gridiron in years to come
| if not the present season.
| Frank Gore, local boy, went to Vandy
this year. He was never known as be-
ing great football player, but he is
! making rapid strides to that goal this
fall. Frank has scribes in Nashville raw
ing over his punting, In fact, the Nash
Vile scribes are labelling him as Won
der Whether he will make the Vandy
eleven remains to be seen.
Blinky Horn, sporting editor of the
Nashville Tennesseean, writes as follows:
THE long awaited answer to the punt
ing puzzle, so far as toe work is con-
cerned, has appeared on Dudley field at
last.
His name is Frank Gore.
He's a borther-in-law of the wonderful
Ray Morrison.
And he can kick the everlasting day.
light out of a bootfall. At least he was
yesterday. Sometimes he sent the pig
skin travelling as far as 60 yards. Some
times 1t was farther even than that.
When he started he was all by himself
over on one corner of the gridiron, but
when he sent the oval steadily spinning
for 60 yards down the field, interest in
everything else on the cross-marked plain
ceased
They have rarely turned out a punter
who can drive the oval higher and farther
than this Frank Gore. They all agreed
on that at Vanderbilt.
Fresh from the football bushes so to
speak, is Frank Gore but already he is
a sensation at Vanderbilt, SO far as boot
ing the pigskin is concerned. And the
hue and cry for Colt Weiss Nichtt how
long at Vandy has been for somebody
who could take care of ! the booting
branch.
But little is known of Frank Cores
ability to look after a regular berth on
a college eleven. Down at McTyeire he
was rated as a creditable nalfback. But
the youngster is shy of the needed weight
to tackle a job on the varsity, unless he
can rush out and consume some sort of
get-fat-quick stuff.
ION the scales at Vanderbilt he sent
the beam to 147 pounds. Still he is but II
years of age and is ripe for development.
And on top of that can make all of
Col. D. McGugin's punting possibilities
look like beginners. For ends, his punts

All these details we're arranged at a
meeting of the National Baseball com
mission in this city this afternoon, but
the pennant winner in the National
League was not known at the time the
commission adjourned and the same
dates that applied to Brooklyn also
applied to the Philadelphia Nationals.
Before nightfall. however, the victory

plia Nationals by the Boston Braves
cliEched the pennant for Brooklyn and
placed it in the position of National
league standard bearer in the annual bat
tie against the American league cham
pions.
MEETING WAS UNCERTAIN
The meeting of the national commission
was attended by almost the same amount
OF uncertainty as marked the final hours
of the National league pennant struggle.
Originally it was intended to hold the
conference here today, but later it was
decided to defer it until tomorrow.
President Tener of the National league
and Chairman Hermann of the commits
sion arrived here last night, but President
johnson of the American league was not
expected until tomorrow. When he
rived early today there was a hurried
consultation. at which it was decided to
hold the meeting as originally scheduled.
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club,
Baker OF the Philadelphia club of the Ma
tional league, whose teams were still
fighting for the pennant. and President
Lannin of the Boston Americans were
hurriedly summoned and the commission
went into session shortly before noon.
Tentative arrangements had already
been made covering the possibility of
either Philadelphia or Brooklyn in the
National league. The opponents of the
Boston Americans and the schedule of
worlds series was decided upon after
short session. President Lannin sug
gested that the series be opened at the
park of the Braves, where the American
leaguers will stage all their games, owing
to it's immense seating capacity. instead
OF deciding the place of the initial games
by the customary toss of coin This
plan was adopted in view of the fact that
both the Brooklyn and Philadelphia clubs
would require several days in which to
ir stall additional seats and boxes to ac-

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Heavy fighting occurred on Friday between the Brit ish army that is attempting to reach Kut Fl -Amara, in Mesopotamia, and the Turks The battle took place at Essin. seven miles from kut- FL Anna = ra. The British were unable to drive the Turks from their positions. The purpose of the British is to rescue the original eXpeditionary force which has been surrounded at Kut- -ElAmara.
 The following official statement on the Mesopotamian campaign was given out today under yesterdays date:
 Sir Percy Lake (the new comman- der in Mesopotamia) reports that Gen. eral Aylemar attacked the Turkish po- sition a Essin on Friday. Fierce fight ing continued through the day with varying success. Tie weather through out was atrOcious, q pouring rain rendering movements of troops eX- tremely difficult.
 owing to the floods it was impos- sible to renew the attack on Saturday and General Aylemar took up a posi- tion 200 yards from the enemy's trenches.
 The weather continues bad with incessant rain.

Especial to The Republican,

CLIFTON, Arizona, Jan. 23.-Owing to the fact that all financial support which has heretofore been rendered the striking miners in the Clifton district has apparently been withdrawn, and that funds available at the present time are only sudfficient to last until tomorrow night. the collapse of the long drawn out strike in this district seems imminent.
 At q large meeting of the miners, held here this afternoon. Meyers and Davies, representatives of the federal department of labor, who have been in the district for some time investi- Gating the strike situation, made some startling revelations concerning the financial situation of the unions which are at the present time back of the strike movement It was disclosed that the treasuries of the miners or ganizations are very nearly depleted, and that there seems but little hope of any further contributions to carry on the strike activities. So low have ebbed the finances of the unions that only enough money remains to support the strike for twenty four hours
 Stating that they had made an eX- haustve study of the matter, the speakers advised the men to returH to work under the provisions of the proposition made by the mine man agers on January s, based on 24-cent copper.
 At the close of the meeting a reso- lutiOn was offered calling on the men to return to work as per the terms of the companies offer and agree to submit all grievances to arbitration at a date within the next thirty lays. The resolution was v0teG down by d ma jority of 2S votes. This is explained by the fact that there was a desire on the part of the miners 10 withhold action 01 the matter until the men al MOrenci and MetCalf had had a chance to pass on the question.
 Davies and Meyers will address meeting at Morenci and Mettcalf on Monday morning. at which time condi- tiOns will be explained to the men of those places. It is expected that d vote on the proposition will be taken in ali three of the camps on Tuesday morning. and il is generally believed that the sentiment of the men will be strongly in favor of returning to work

DEMOCRATS WANT
 A TARIFF BOARD
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON. Jan 23-Creation of 2 tariff commission, it was learned from official sources tonight. has been de- termined upon by the Wilson admin istration. A bill providing for such a commission will be introduced in con- gress in the near future. The duties of the proposed commission or board would be to collect information re- gardinS the tariff and ordinate similar powers now believed by Presi- dent Wilson to be held by existing government bodies.
 Aside from his belief that the tariff always should be treated in scientific fashion. the president has given con- sideration to the situation which will follow the European war and has been urged by many of his advisers that legislation will be necessary to safe guard Ameriea's commercial and in duStri II interests when that tSne comes.
