 He declared that talk of a possible revolution in Russia was preposter- ous
 The Russian people," he said, never were so prosperous as they now are, all the way from the laborer up to the highest classes. The great est furrier in the city told me he had never done such a business as in the last few months, new automobiles appear daily in the streets, and the laborer is eating more and wearing better clothes than he ever did.
 There is a great longing for peace among the civil population, but the soldiers were never so we'll fed. well clothed and happy in their lives. They are now sure that they are winning and nothing can stop them, and they are well armed in striking contrast to the first months of the war, when many had no arms at all"
 The prohibition of vodka, said the American, by no means banished drinking and drunkenness. The Rus sians in Moscow, at least, and in the great district in which the city lies, are drinking wood alcohol, and the result is many deaths, damings, cases of blindness etc.
 Tt was a great mistake" he con. tinued, "to abolish vodka at one blow without giving the vodka drinking classes something to take it's place Light wines and beers would have prevented the present conditions. The Moscow beer saloons was in peace times one of the most orderly resorts in the world. One rarely or never

creased to a point where many per sons formerly addicted to the cab habit have given it up, but without finding an adequate substitute, the street cars being continually damned to suffocation So there is nothing to do but walk, and Moscow is a city of imposing distances.
 The one really serious problem which the city faces this winter, ac- cording to the informant. is the ques- tion of fuel and light - wood, coal and petroleum. Wood which cost from eight to ten rubles before the war, now costs as much as fifty, and the supply is most inadequate. To be sure, there is wood enough in the empire, but transportation facilities are lacking. Indeed, one of the most unfavorable things in Russia today is, declared the American, the extreme Reorganization, or perhaps better, woeful lack of organization of trans portation of all kinds. Coal and pc troleum are both dear and scarce, and the outlook is not for any imme- diate betterment
 There is a great scarcity of lard and other fats, and the meat supply is rapidly becoming rapidly less. The informant declared that not only have the herds of cattle and swine been unduly reduced by excessive slaughter, but that great numbers also perished last winter, either from cold or hun. ger, due to insufficient care. Of the fOOdstuffs of other sorts, however, there is no lack and there can be no question of anybody going hungry ex, cept the unfortunate Germans and Austrians yet in the empire, who find great difficulty in getting work, and whose numbers are so great and their colonies scattered over such vast ex panses of territory that 1t has become

RUSSIA ARE ENJOYING
 PROSPERITY

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27. - There is much inevitable hardship in Russia, a present or threatening scarcity of many essential things and a very gen eral and unpleasant lack of organiza- tion, but there is also another side to the picture Everybody who wants work can get it, and wages are so high that the tremendous increase in the cost of living has been nearly offset by them. Mushroom fortunes are growing up over night and the de mand for luXuries is so great that it can with difficulty be met
 This is the report made to a cores pondcnt of the Associated Press by one of the best known members of the American colony in Moscow, who now, after seven years residence there, is returning to America His activities during that period kept him in touch with most parts of the great empire. and he declared that condi- tions in Moscow are typical of what is to be found elsewhere, so far as pros perity is concerned, but rather worse in the matters of housing and trans portation.
 Moscow had roundly 2,O0a.OO0 in habitants before the war This num- Der, he believed, had been increased about 90 per cent, making the popu- lation 3,o0,000 One of the immediate results has been a scarcity of rentahle houses, and it is not at all unusual to find advertisers offering bonuses up to 800 rubles for anyone finding them a suitable dwelling place, There are certain restrictions against increasing rents to tenants already in occupancy, but these restrictions do not apply to new renters. and naturally such per sons have to pay high prices when they do succeed in finding a house
 The number of cabs has been re- duced to fraction of the ante bellum number and q considerable number of street cars has also been withdrawn from service. Cab prices have in

saw a drunken man there, and there were no quarrels or disturbances of any kind. It was a pity to try to change all this at once"
 The narrator named some surpris- ing prices current in Moscow, such as 45 to co rubtes ($22.50 to $3O) for pair of shoes, the latter being demand ed for American made goods. The suit he was wearing - an ordinary business suit - cost 15O rubles Food prices, however, are fh many instances lower than those prevailing in Der lin, and far below prices asked throughout Scandinavia. Various ef forts have been made to establish maximum prices, but it has been found impossible to enforce them.
 The two things which made life most unpleasant for the American in Moscow were, he said, the difficult ties of getting about the city, owing to the inadequate street car and cab service (and the dearness of the lat ter) and the "uppishness" and gen eral independence of the servants.
 "It is getting all but impossible to find good, polite servants any longer" he said "They are all making so much money in factories that they either will not go into service at all or, if they do, ask such high wages and comport themselves in such a manner that it is intolerable. saw girl last week in a intuition factory who, the foreman told me, was making S5 rubles a month Before the war she did very we'll indeed if she made fifteen"

it any soft job for four clubs to hurl themselves day by day against Ruth, Shore, Leonard, Mays and Foster.
 And Boston is now in this position: If she can beat her four besiegers back with considerable loss she will be more than protected for the long September trip, where she spends twenty days on the road with her leading rivals all at home.
 No Western club can very well eX- pect to win the pennant that isn't able to stop the Red SOX. And no Western club has yet shown any great ability along this line.
 When it comes to hand-to-hand fighting, with the/ flag at stake. this Boston club in the last two years has proved to be one of the great ma chimes of the decade.

The Siege Incarnate.

Starting today, four hostile army corps in turn will be thrown against Red SoX ramparts. where Bill Car rigan's club will be called upon to stand one of the toughest sieges of the game.
 All four Western clubs in the American league figures they are still in the race. and all four figure that Boston is the club to be beaten back.
 The resourceful Red Sox went into enemy's country through the West and hammered out twelve victories from eighteen assaults. It took a good, game lineup to accomplish this task, but the job will no be thoroughly completed until the Red Sox can make winning defence of their own sod.
 It is no easy task to face Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland in order, for there can be no let-up, whereas the four besiegers have soft spots in which to recuperate and ob- tain impetus for the dash. Neither Is

 "CannOnbaII" After 13 Innings

Boston, Aug. 15.-Babe Ruth was the victor m a thirteen inning pitch ing duel with Walter Johnson yester- day, the Red SoX defeating Washing ton in the latters final appearance at Fenway Pork this season, 1 to 0. For twelve innings Johnson held the Red SOx to four widely scattered hits. The thirteenth session was his undo ing the champions getting three hits in this inning and netting the games only run.
 Barry led off in the thirteenth with a, drive which caromed off Johnson's hand when he attempted to stop it and went for a hit. Lewis struck out and Hoblitzel flied to Milan; Walker singled to center, Barry making third Cn the hit Gardner connected for the third hit of the day, a single drive to center, and Barry scored.
 Three fast double plays by Boston in the last four innings prevented Washington from scoring. The score:

New York, Aug. 16.-Solid resound- ing home runs enabled the Yankees to club out to ? victory over the lowly Athletics at the Polo grounds yesterday. Walter Pipp and Roger Peckinpaugh favored with circuit drives, and on each occasion there was one or more runners aboard the bases.
 Pipp's smash was a long drive to the flower bed in deep center field in the third inning. Magee and Peckin- paugh were on the bases at the time and they scored in front of the gall loping Pipp. Shawkey was on base fH the seventh, when Peckinpaugh drove the ball into left field bleachers.

Can the East Make It?

The East triumphed over the West tidily enough in the recent lawn ten his melee
 But can the East dethrone the West in the coming championship, now only ten days away?
 The West has held the leading title in two of the last three years. And while the East recently Outplayed the West, there is still a question as to whether Williams. Church and Behr can beat back Johnston, Mclaughlin and Murray. With six candidates of such high order and several others only a notch or two away, this next championship should be one of the best America has ever known.
 We stand corrected. Gus Schemlz was not the only big league manager who ever wore a brush. There was Harry Wright, who had one of the best trapped frontispieces in the game.
