vantage Of this situation, playing to
big crowds in Cleveland and escaping
the smaller crowds here.

the fans at League Park yesterday
saivered in the second inning '-hen
Walter johnson came to bat with the
bases loaded. That's why Gianey
played with his back up against the
left neld fence.
Two years ago johnson lifted the
bail over this left neld barrier. the
frst time in the history of the ball
park this has ever been done. the
feat has never been duplicated.
The score was 1 to o when johnson
faced Bagby. and there was 4 full
house. Walter always hits the ball
hard here in Cleveland, but Bagby fed

Walter took a healthy swing and Just
topped the ball A double play, which
retired the side. was the outcome.

After that second inning scare.
Basby settled down. and the Grinnasn

DECLARES .
WAR upon GERMANY
Steps Are Taken TO Join Allies
and United States Is Appealed
To Furnish Food 4 <.

HELSINGFoRS, November 12--(As-
sociated Press) Finland entered the
war with Germany on its own behalf
yesterday and definitely settled its po-
sition as an ally. This was in part
brought about by the necessity of Sc
curing food for its citizens during the
coming winter. ,.. 49,. W..
A declaration that state Of war be-
tween Finland and the German empire
exists and has so existed for some time
was passed by the Finnish diet at it's
session yesterday by great majority
but only after n spirited debate. The
question of securing needed food and
other supplies entered largely into the
decision and TINS was manifested clear-
ly during the discussion that preceded
final action. ., o.. .oI
Other action taken by the diet was
the naming of provisional soldiers
committee and the appointment of
Schiecks as successor to the retiring
governor general. ~ &.Ht
Representations received from the
new government at Petrograd were
discussed and it was determined that
such representations should be ignored.
Following these actions telegram
was drafted and ordered sent to Presi-
dent Wilson of the United States set
ting forth that Finland is facing star
walton unless food be made obtainable.
That it now stands forth as an ally,
asks the same rights and privileges Of
other allies and that shipping regula-
tons be so arranged that absolutely
necessary supplies may be secured from
the United States. Poor harvests are
told and this is assigned as the reason
for Finland calling upon America TO
keep it from actual starvation.
