that ancient prosperity was founded
on sugar, molasses, rum and bay rum,

active trade in transit when st.
Thomas was the chief port Of call in
the West Indies. But the sugar trade
of all the Lesser Antilles has been
gradually forced out Of existence by
the system of large-scale production

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Coming out of the west like LOChinvar of old, the Chicago Americans won the worlds series baseball championship here this afternoon, defeating the New York Ma tionals, 4 to ?, in the sixth and deciding game of the 1917 diamond classic. For the first time in almost a decade the titular banner will flutter over the fans in the middle west metropolis next spring when the series pennant is raised at Comiskey Park, as evidence of the superiority of the White SOX in the great national game.
 After winning the first two games on their home field and losing the next two at the Polo grounds, the Chicago clan clinched the gonfalon with two straight victories, one at Comiskey Park and the other at the lair of the Giants. The New York club did not go down to defeat today without desperate resistance. The battle was surcharged with sensational situations and thrill ing plays but the invading combination with the edge of a one- game lead was not to be denied It was the Giants who eventually broke under the strain of the conflict.
 With "Rube" Benton, the towering southpaw from Clinton, N. C., waging a pitching duel for the locals against the curves of Urban Faber, the Cascade, la, hurler of the White SoX, the battle was fought through three full innings without either team giving the Slight est margin either offensively or defen- sively. In the fatal fourth" however, the Giants faItered for just a moment and seizing their advantage the play CTS of Chicago rushed the breach and captured the first world series cham pionship emblem won by the city on the shores of Lake Michigan since Frank Chances Cubs defeated the Detroit Americans in the struggle of 1908.
 A Record Crowd
 While the Nationals made a game rally in the fifth and the Sox added another run in the ninth, the three runs scored by the Chicago team in the fourth session were the deciding factor The play in this inning convinced the thirty-odd thousand spectators present that for this season, at least, the pen nant winning club of the American league is better than that which won the race in the senior organization.

WHITE SIX DEFEAT GIANTS AGAIN
 AND WIN WORLD'5 CHAMPIONSHIP

cided in the fourth inning was in keep ing with the feature and factor play the series. The Chicago club scored it's winning run in this in ming during the first game and col lected five in the second contest in the same period. In the third and fourth contests, won by the Giants, the win ming team scored the only runs of the battle in the fourth inning of the third and the first of the five runs in the fourth game which was a five to noth- ing shutout in favor of New York. The scoring of Saturday proved an eXcep- ton, but today the SoX reverted to their original system. and aided by misplays blythe Giants closed the series with a decisive victory.
 The largest assemblage of spectators to witness any game of the present inter-league combat was on hand when the rival clubs grappled. According to the official figures, 33,969 persons paid admission to the Polo Grounds, their contributions totalling $73,348. Of this sum the stockholders of the two clubs will each receive $33,00606 and the national commission S7,334S0 The players ceased to participate in the gate receipts after the fourth game but they will receive Sl52,SSS.5S as their share, this amount being divided 60 per cent to the Chicago team and 40 per cent to the New York players. The total receipts for the six games amounted to $425,S7S and after sub tracting the money paid to the players, the two clubs are each richer by $l15,- 200Sl and the national commission, $42,58780.
 Giants Break In Strain
 As was befitting the climax of the baseball year, the day was the best of the ten through which the battle ragged. There was an entire absence of wind, and the sun shone from a blue autumn sky with enough warmth to make outer wraps unnecessary. Under these faV- orable conditions the thousands of fans entered into the spirit of the play with more of American baseball enthusiasm than has been the case in almost any of the preceding contests. AS was nat ural, they rooted long and lustily for the Giants, but were quick to appre- ciate and applaud the winning work of the White SOX as well as to cheer down any attempt to boo Captain Eddie Col lins of the visiting team.
 This vocal applause and spirit was
