Boston, Oct. 12-The Boston Amer
leans are today the winners OF the
worlds series, having vanqunshed the
leaders of the National league by a
score Of 4 to /, the home team not
playing their half of the ninth.
Like the deserted orphans which
they felt themselves to be after the
announcement today that they would
be placed on the market, the Brooklyn
team played without the usual speed
and dash which characterized all their
contests with the victorious Ameri-
cans in all world series contests save
that Of yesterday. With fine weather
the Red Sox, requiring only one more
victory to cinch. the honor of being
the worlds leaders in 1916, entered
the diamond with confidence. Shore
did splendid execution for the home
nine, holding the visitors down to
three hits, and allowing them only one
run which was made in the second
On the other hand Pfeffer, pitching
for the Dodgers, let the Red Sox in for
seven hits which were delivered at op-
perfume times for the winning team.
The home team had the game prac-
tically won in the fifth inning when
the score stood A to at the Of the
game.
The batteries for the day were Pfef-
fer and Meyers for the Brooklyns, and

Meetings Suggested al Which to Instruct
Farmers on Value Of $4,000 Bond
Issue for Permanent Fir
DIFFICULTIES OF
$2,5OO FREE FAIRS
Representative Of Bond Buyer Here Who
is Anxious to Take Up Matter
Of Purchase

As yet no concerted action has been
taken by the farmers FOR an organized
movement in behalfeof the proposi-
tion to vote 100000 free fair bonds in
case such authority should later be
given the board Of county commission
ers at future session Of the state leg
islature. The straw ballots will be
printed at the expense Of the Farmers
and will be placed at the disposal OF
the voters at the regular election next
month. 1t is suggested that meetings
be held to instruct the farmers who
have not already signed the PETITION
on the benefits to be derived from a
permanent free county fair conducted
on scale compatible with the impor-
tance OF Grady county and its exhibits
"With but two or three exceptions
the farmers who were in attendance
at the last fair signed the petition with
out moments hesitation and the 9th
ers readily affixed their signatures as
soon as the situation was explained to
them" said w. e. Smith today. II
am not in favor of $25O0 free fairs
for justice cannot be done either to
Exhibits or to exhih.t,s even under
the best conditions in tents and frame
stalls such as we have had and this
appropriation requires too much slash
ing Of premium lists We want to give
the farmer a chance to show his pro-
ducts to the best advantage and see
that he is comfortably accommodated
when he, comes either to attend the
fair or to place his exhibits there.
What would have happened this year
had we had hard rain? With perma-
nent stalls and exhibit halls rain
would not be 50 disastrous
"1hen again. we have sent about
$1,000 out Of the county for tents dur
ing the past two years. That would
build substantial building for the
exhibition Of stock. The conditions
prevailing here during the last fair
were really dangerous to stock that
was not closely watched both day and
night and fine animals might have
been permanently injured had it not
been for the vigilance of their owners.
Grady county needs a permanent
fair fund and she can produce fair
which will be the superior Of any town
approaching the size Of Chickasha in
the state
Interest is already being aroused in
the suggested 100000 permanent free
fair bond issue for Grady county in
investment circles. J. H. Jenkins, who
was here this week representing an
Oklahoma City dealer in municipal
bonds, in informal talks with members
of the board Of county commissioners
and with prominent citizens interested
in the movement, expressed a desire
to participate in the bidding for these
bonds and stated that his firm. would
investigate all legal technicalities and
set the county right
