SERIES AT BOSTON
Red SOx Fans Find Some
Consolation in Defeat
at Brooklyn

Boston, October 10.-Supporters of the
Boston Americans who were unable to
follow the team to foreign field today
found cause for satisfaction in it's de-
feat by the Brooklyn Nationals. This
satisfaction lies in the fact that Brook
lyn's success insures further world series
play in this city, as the teams now must
return here for the fifth game on Thurs
day, which is Columbus Day, a holiday.
Approaching the sturdy batting which
Brooklyn gained a victory for the first
time in the series, Red Sox followers
never the less showed no concern over
the fate of the local team in the remain
ing game. Betting odds remained I'M
changed and Brooklyn hackers were as
scarce as on previous days. Crowds filled
newspaper row and other spaces wnere
bulletin boards displayed the game. Gov
ernor Mccall had a telephoned report
inning by inning, and Mayor Curley was
informed frequently of the score.

made the horses more brisk and conse-
quently the largest crowd to witness the
races thus far at the state fair were
treated to a good trotting and pacing

straight heats. Clat Watts, who drew
third money, pushed DR.. Long for first
place in the opening heat, but lost out
on the home stretch. Broncho, who won
second money, was second in both of the
two other heats, finishing only a short
