ments, Which Hold Fans En-
thusiasm at Bay.

CHICAGO, October eddie Cicotte

Chicago Americans, piloted his team to
victory today over the New York Ma
tionals by score of 2 to /, in the
first game Of the 1917 world series, play
ed at Comiskey Park. At the wheel Of
the White Sox machine he was the mas
ter of the Giants at every stage Of the
contest, which thrilled $4,000 followers
Of the local American League champions
and sent them away from Comiskey
Park convinced that after several years
ow waiting the highest titular honors of
the base ball field were to fall to Chi
cago.
Gcotte was ably assisted by the
White So1 machine. which played al
most faultless base ball against the de-
termined stand Of the National League
star dard bearers, who would not ad-
init defeat until the final catch of
Holke's ny by John Collins ended the
contest. Cicotte's teammates played
with certainty of victory. and the COM
bination proved too much for the
vaunted power Of the Giants.
An even $4,000 spectators paid adj
mission to the field Of the club. with a
result that $73,152 was divided among
the players, clubs and the national COM
mission. OF this amount the players
received s39.502.0s; each of the clubs
S13,1S7.36. and the national commission
$7,s15.2o.
No Vacant Seats In Stand.
There was not a vacant seat in the
base ball amphitheater when the play
ers took tho field. land hundreds of
disappointed fans thronged the streets.
unable to penetrate the. police lines.
Every point of vantage which in any
way overlooked the diamond was oc-
cupied by men and boys long before
the game began.

these had stood in line all night, and
had lined up by thousands when the
noon. By noon the last space was
filled and the doors closed. After that
hour the only persons to enter the
park were the fortupate holders of re-

Three Reply to La Toilette.

Senator's Kellogg Of Minnesota and

Piled with criticism OF Mr.. La Follette's
public statements. They denounced
what they termed his unpatriotic
stand. Senator Robinson asserting that

place in the German bundesrathl
Statements accredited to the Wiscon-
sin member in his st. Paul speech were
fatty contradicted. especially that re-

Bryans knowledge of ammunition be-
ing on the Lusitania before she sailed
on her fatal voyage.
Apparently stung by the criticism
Senator La Toilette made an unsuc-
cessful effort to get time for a re-
sponse. He succeeded. however, in
stating that he wished to make known
authority for his declaration regard
ing the Lusitania and last night an

One need not employ superlatives to

Recital in simplest words of the scope

suffiees to tell the story and in thus mar

its importance.
A senator who had participated in the

Rose to the Emergency.

At the outset of a review Of the work
Aone by Congress one consideration COM
mAnds attention: here was Congress a
large proportion Of whose membership
was new In ONCE and unused to dealing
with national and international legisla-
tion. They found themselves unexpect-
edly confronted with a crisis greater in
proportions than any presented since the
outbreak Of the civil war. The occasion
demanded prompt action and after the
first step was taken there opened a vista
reaching far beyond their ken at the
moment.
Developments unfolded rapidly, attend
ed with ever widening effect. The neces-
stiles Of one day led to further require
ments the next. Revolutionary changes
in public policies were presented and
speedily effected. Old landmarks were
1sft far in the rear and could no longer
guide. Traditions as old as the republic
wore annihilated in a day. Precedents
were not to be found-they had to be
made for conditions as they arose. 1t will
,be months before the public at large
realises fully what 1t all means.
