which seemed to puzzle Jake Dau-
bert more than anyone else.
The Red Sox players, of course, are
eiated over their victory. They expect
ed to win the first game and also the
series they said today, but looked for
a hard battle. The team is fully aware,
its members said. that it must over
come Brooklyn's pitching staff before
counting the championship reward.
1t was reported IN fandom that Pitcher
Shore having what appeared to be a safe
lead let down in the ninth inning yes
terday, confident that his teammates
could hold Brooklyn in check. An analy-
sis of the game, however, does not bear
this out. Shore pitched his hardest in
1.-THE ninth inning, Boston players said, but
the breaks went against him. They in
stanced the two scratch infeld hits in
the ninth as showing that the Dodgers
had the breaks.
The Boston Players
Janvrin came in for much praise today
for his playing. Substituting for Capt.
Jack Barry, who is out of the game
with an injured hand Janvrin stood up
we'll in the pinch and accepted in fine
style 10 of the II chances that came to
him. His single in the eighth inning en-
tered largely in the making of Boston's
sixth and what proved to be the winning
run of the game.
Walker, who has Iris Speakers old
place in center field, also did his work
to the satisfaction of the Boston fans.
True. he lost fly in the sun. but Speak
er also lost one in the sun last year.
Walker in his five trips to the plate
got on base four times. He cracked out
a triple and single, sending in one run
COS a base on balls and once reache,
first on an error.
The Red SoX infield was very steady,
accepting "a of the 35 chances offered
while Brooklyn accepted 10 out of -.
The batting of the two teams was
heavier than casual glance at the
score would indicate. Brooklyn had
a total of IA bases and Boston IS. In
the ninth inning the Dodgers had 10
men DIT Tue pldlc' iiAS was IilC III OF
time in five years of world series
games that so many men have gone to
the bat in one inning.
AS usual in world series games, the
umpiring in the first contest was Of
high order. No one disputed the de-
cisions Of Connolly behind the plate
and O'Day's judgement on base plays
was adopted without question.
This is the first world series ODay
has officiated in since 1910. when the
Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago
Cubs battled for supremacy. Connol-
ly's last appearance in the world Sc
ries prior to this year was in 1918.

BOSS" WOODROW WILSON.

For the benefit of'thoSe Republican editors who,
presumably for want OF any other point of critl-
riSm. indulge in the Authorization of referring to
Woodrow Wilson as boss of the St. Louis
vention after harpmg so loudly about the ''un-
boSsed ''--Heaven help us convention at Chi
cago the following paragraph is reprinted from
recent editorial in the Christian Science Monitor
Of Boston, a paper which admittedly has par
tisaI interest at stake, written while the Demo
cratic convention in session:
He is not departing from custom III offering to
the convention platform upon which he would
like to stand The campaign must be fought upon
the platform issues, and, matter Of courtesy
well matter of precaution, the standard
bearer Of the campaign, who is more certain
to get praise for victory than he is to get blame
for defeat, should be invited to give his advice,
his collaboration, his dictation, in the franz
ing of the instrument Whether the committee
on resolutions, the convention itself, shall
adopt his recommendations in part or as whole,
is another and very different matter. Mr.. Will
would be playing the part Of boss only if
he should insist upon the acceptance by the con-
vention of a platform of which the convention
disincined to approve"
That puts it plain enough for even an opposi-
ton editor to understand.

RIDICULE THAT ISN'T.

One has to laugh to himself when one realizes
that the way the Republican papers have been at
tempting to ridicule the phrase, ''He kept us out
of wal" referring to President Wilson, is prompt
ed by their chagrin at the fact that the president
after exercising the utmost patience and seeking
to apply to Mexico the principle for which We
fought our own Revolution-the right to work out
our own destiny-has at last been compelled be-
cause Of the breaking up of the Carranza govern
ment and the consequent increase of banditry, to
call out the national guard to restore order along
the border.
We say chagrin, because the Republicans had
hoped to use the Mexican situation as one of the
war cries of the presidential campaign, intending
to charge that the presidents policy had been
marked by remarkable frmness of purpose and
an idealism that is unique in the history of the
dealings of larger nations with their smaller
neighbors, and they realize now that the vigor
with which the president is conducting the present
situation knocks out from under them the props
of an anticipated campaign argument.
The phrase, 'He kept us out of war;" wherever
and whenever it has been used with reference to
President Wilson, had no reference to the Next
can situation, everyone knows, but solely to
the European holocaust, out of which the presi-
dent has kept this nation and at the same time
maintained it's honor at the highest standard,
when more impetuous, more hot headed chief
executive might have embroiled us in it months
ago.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS VS. PROMISES.

The great distinction between the Republican
and the Democratic national platforms, as adopt
ed at the recent conventions, is OF course that the
former is conglomeration OF ambiguous prom
Uses to do things that were not done when the
Republican party had the power to do them; the
latter is statement of accomplishments straight
forwardly recounted, and things that will be done
if that party is continued in power. One is a
combination of slippery phrases to begule the
reader and to catch votes; the other is a matter
Of-fact statement put with pride of what the
Democratic party has done in legislation and in
administration since 1912
1t would take the ingenuity of the famed ma
nipulator of the three shells and the elusive pea
to find any positive, absolute statement any
specific thing in the Republican platfOrm-it
is well put together mass of glittering general
ties. But the Democratic platform is pointed,
definite statement of what its governmental Of
ticials have done during their tenure, and clear,
energetic expression of what experience teaches
them the needs Of the nation demand at the pres
ent time.
Therefore the Democratic platform is refresh
ing reading, even to those of opposite political
faith, because it's basis is facts and not easily
made promises. Its genuine, sanely expressed
Americansm its vigorous declaration of foreign
policy, its exhilrating review Of the achievements
of the past four years-the establishment of the
tariff on the proper revenue basis the reformation
of the banking and currency SYSTEM the clarity
ing Of the antitrust laws the creation of the fed
eral trade commission to assure fair competition
in business, the added protection given laborers
the extension Of the parcel post system, the au-
thorization Of sane plan of preparedness for
defense only, the establishment of the bureau of
marketing and rural organization in the depart
ment of agriculture to mention the more import
ant ones-and its plain and emphatic declaration
of the important things that should be done, in
GLIDING non-partisan tariff commission the pas
sage of the merchant marine bill pending in
gress world union for peace, greater attention
to the study Of farm marketing problems, con-
struction of more good roads, greater protection

service employees national child labor law,
organization of the public health service, altera-
ton Of the senate rules'to expedite business, bud
get system Of appropriations, prison reforms, and
the further development Of Alaska and other ter
ritories-all these combine to strengthen the doc
ument and make Of it pointed declaration Of
principles and purposes, such as platforms are
presumed to be.
Excerpts from the platform published else
where in this issue. They reveal the spirit of the
whole document remarkably well-they tell you
