SCORING BEGAN.
EARLY FOR CAME
IN RED SOXTOWN

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 12.-The BOs-
ten Red Sex are the champions of the
world in baseball by reason OF their
victory this afternoon over the Brook.
lyn Trolley Dodgers by score Of ana
J. Boston won four games, and Brook.
iyn GRly three that victory being on
Monday by score of 4 and 3.
Cornered with three defeats and only
one victory, the Brooklyn Trolley
Dodgers made an aggressive stand on
the Braves field in Boston this after
roon. 1t was their last chance TO
prevent the Red Sox from taking the
honors as champion of the world for
their defeat the necessary four games
won would be marked up in the Boston
column.
The early air is crisp and cool but
the official forecaster at 9 o'clock this
morning thought the south winds pre-
vailing then would temper the air by
time the game begins. Many of the fans
who turned out early to secure bleach
er seats kept themselves warm by clus-
tering about bon-fires built within the
park enclosure.
Undaunted by the weather, and their
three defeats the Trolley Dodgers were
high in spirits, and Manager Wilbur
Robertson trusted that some of the
breaks would come his way. He
chose big Pfeffer to start the game for
Brooklyn, with Big Chief Meyers
catching.
Manager Carrigan was just as sure
that the Red Sox will clinch their title
as the worlds champs in this after
Moons game, and with that desire he
sent Shore and Cady in as the Boston
battery to begin the game.
Shorten went in the outfield to take
Walkers place for Boston, and Stem
gel was showed into the game to take
Johnstons position. Jake Daubert
returned to first base, displacing Mer-
kle, for Brooklyn.

Offers FavorIte Game.

The favorite game Of offers seems
to be that of sliding down hill. They
climb to the top Of high snow ridge,
lie flat upon the stomach, with the
forefeet bent backward, and giving
themselves an impulse with the hind
legs, glide down the hill head foremost.
In summer they select sloping river
bank which has clayey soil, and
where the water at It's base is Of con-
siderable depth. Climbing this bank,
they start from the top. slip swiftly
over the sloping ground, and plunge
into the water.

crossing signals throughout the coun-

mending standards to be followed and
to obtain legislation in all the states
