Boston Americans Win Sixth
 Game of Worlds Series, Defeating Chicago Nation
 als for Championship
(Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-Taps for pro- fessional baseball for the duration Of the war was sounded at Fenway Park today when the Boston American league pennant bearers won the first War-scarr'ed baseball championship of the world by defeating the Chicago National league title holders in the sixth game of the series by a score of 7 to l. This gives the Red Sox d record of six victories for the over- lordshlp of the baseball world in as many starts, and as the Boston Na- tlonals won the championship in 1914, 1t brings to this city seven worlds titles without one blot on the es- cutheon.
 delivery, was the winning pitcher. while George Tyler, one of the Cubs stellar left handlers. and Flack, Chi. cago's right fielder who has been play ing such a brilliant game, must bear between them much of the burden of defeat.
 Sox Seize Opportunity
 The momentary wavering of the hard clawing Cubs in the third inning gave the Red Sox their one big op- portunity which they seized with char acteristic keenness. Tyler, after the inherent right of southpaws, indulged in brief fit of wildness. He passed Mays, the first man up, on four straight balls. Harry Hooper then poked an irritating, slow roller towards Tyler the ball being so cleverly placed that the Cub pitcher could not get it to second in time to head off Mays. Hooper was put out at first, however. Dave Shean, one of the most patient walters for free transportation to first in the series, was also passed. Two men were on and only one out when Amos Strunk came to bat and sent a very bad bounder to Pick at second base. Pick had his troubles handling the ball, finally getting Strunk at first
 Score Winning Runs
 Mays and Shean in the meantime reached third and second. respectively This brought up Whiteman, the dark horse. and one of the big stars of the series, and the crowd sensed the break of the game coming. Waiting for a ball to his liking, Whteman got one ot l Tyler's fast shoots on the end of his bat, the ball going on line to short right field. Flack sprinted in fast thrusting out both hands at full reach The ball hit one side of the glove6 hand and bounded to the ground, while Mays and Shean goose stepped ovel the plate, bearing between them tho keystone for Bostons world series arcf of triumph.
 Tough for Tyler and Flack
 It was tough for Tyler and hard fol F1ack to stumble when they did. Bu it was just this difference in steadines' between the Red SoX and their Oppo- nents at critical periods all through the hectic session which returned the Bos ton men champion of their league ant of the world.
 McInnis, anxious to keep the bal rolling, got an infield hit but White man in a gallant try for third base, wa thrown out, Hollocher to Merkle t Deal.

GOLFERS REPLY

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. II, 1918. Hon. Sidney P. Osborn, Secretary of State,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 My dear Mir. Osborn:-
 I trust you will lend full verity to my statement in expressing to you my sincere thanks for your kind letter of congratulations on my selection yesterday as the democratic candidate for governor of Arizona.
 Speaking personally, the receipt of same was very gratifying. but the loyal expressions therein con- tained showing your fealty to the democracy of Arizona gives me more pleasure than mere words would express.
 In my opinion this a year fraught with more for veal or woe to the people of the country, perhaps. than any previous year or time. It is my opinion that the people throughout the United States should regard the upholding of the national administration more important than at any other period in our history. Certainly a united democracy in Arizona this year will be prop to the federal administration, and may we all go forward with harmony and zeal for a continuance of it's grand princi- ples which are so ably maintained by our leader and president, Wood row Wilson.
 Again thanking you for your kind expressions. and feeling that no one other individual than your self in the state of Arizona is in a position and has more ability to help carry our grand party to vic tory for militant democracy, l am
 Sincerely yours,

ATTACK 0N TROOP
 SHIP SHOWS SCONVOY
 SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-News of the torpedoing of the British liner .Persic, with 2,S00 American troops on board, in the war zone, September 6, was given to the American people to- day, first through the British ad- miralty and then later through the navy department. All the soldiers were rescued by accompanying destroyers, the steamer itself was beached and the enemy submarine is believed to have been accounted for.
 Officials here viewed the result as an allied success more than a disaster. The fact that the steamer was tor pedoed when endeavoring to overtake the conveyed fleet of transports after overcoming engine trouble indicated that submarine commanders still are fearful of attacking troop ships in con- voy. And the immediate and com pletely successful assistance rendered by the destroyers was taken as addi- tional evidence that the conveying system is practically perfect.
 First Official News Brief First word of the attack of the Per- sic, it was learned officially, reached the navy department on the night of September in a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims. although navy officials had emphatically denied the interium that any important news of submarine activities was being with held. It was understood that the British admiralty expressed the re- quest that they be permitted to an nounce the news of the attack.
 Rumors that a troop ship had beer sunk probably with heavy loss oi life have hppD ol,rrept n Nac oto since the publication of what evidently was an inspired London dispatch stat ing that allied naval circles had req son to believe that German submarine. soon would concentrate their efforts ir an attempt to impede the steady flow of American soldiers overseas. No ex. planation of the purpose of this articl. could be obtained. however, from maya officials here.
 Troop Ships Carefully Guarded.
 Attacks on troop ships by subma, rines constantly are expected by off. clals, and it may be that new ant more determined campaign has beer determined upon the Germans becaus, of the reverses suffered by thei armies. The greatest possible protec ton is afforded troop ships and thi. increases as the American naval force: in the war zone are added to by new construction in American yards.
 The record achieved by the Ameri can and allied navies of transportin. more than 1,600,O0O American soldier, overseas with the loss of only 291 O them still is considered miraculous And it is explained by naval officer as testifying to the success of the con voy system.

but observers of the Russian political situation say that no such bloodIess end can come to the soviet republic. It has given no quarter and it will receive none.
 Leaders Will Fight
 Premier Lenine, War Minister Trotz- ky, Sverdloff, president of the central executive committee. and other bol- shevik leaders realize this and they doubtless will fight as long as a single soldier remains loyal to them.
 Trotzky had said in his speeches that Moscow will be reduced to ashes before it is surrendered. Yaroslaw, a town on the Volga, 160 miles northeast of Moscow, was burned for resisting bolshevik domination, and Vologda, no miles north of Yaroslav, is reported to have suffered the same fate.
 Nights Made Hdeous
 Night has been hideous in Moscow for months because of volleys of execu- tion squads in the military enclosures where prisoners are kept. Foreigners and Russians alike were searched without warrant and the Red Guards marched crowds of men and women prisoners through the streets with such regularity that pedestrians hardly mo-  ticed them.
 Marie Spiridonova, special revolu- tionary leader. charged in her mem- orable speech made before the all-Rus sian soviet congress at Moscow on July that bolshevik rule was more tyrannical than that of the late em- peror, and the reign of terror had scarcely begun at that time.
 Terrorize German Ambassador
 Dr. Karl Helfferieh, the German am bassador at Moscow, rushed back to Berlin and reported to his government that Moscow was in such a state oi anarchy that the embassy could not stay there and he is alleged to have advised a dscontinuance of diplomatic relations with the soviet power.

SeptemDer llth, 1918.
 The nomination of Colter for governor definitely decides the fs- sues of the coming campaign. He stands for a continuation of Hunts administration policies. The very same things we fought and defeat cd two years ago but in an exposed and barred form. I stand upon the same principles as before. that is, destruction of Huntism, wobblyism. favoritism, -Americanism and the determination to put Arizona in her true light before the nation, without taint or suspicion. United and organized without partisan prejudice the majority of true un- selfish liberty loving Arizonians can accomplish this result with a de- clsion beyond the review of judicial action. Too long has the organized minority ruled the disorganized majority in Arizona. Let us all register for home as well as na- tional service tomorrow and throw off the Hunt yoke. Let's go from here and follow the example set bv the boys over there.

GREAT ALLIED OFFENSIVE IF
 FOCH AT PAUSE
During Eight Weeks Allies
 Have Cleared Enemy Ter rltory and Expelled Ger mans from Vantage Points
(By The Associated press)

Eight weeks to the day, and for the flrst time the great allied offensive of Marshal Foch is at a virtual pause.
 True, both the British and French on Isolated sectors advanced but no such progress has been made as in the past days-before the torrential rains turned the lowlands into impossible marshes and the badly worsted enemy rushed large endorsements forward to stop the gaps.
 Flanders Saients Bent Eastward
 During the eight weeks the allies have almost clearied the enemy held territory from the Marne to the Aisne In the great triangle which had Cha teau Ihierry as it's apex and Soissons and Reims as anchor points; from Soissons to Arras the old bulge west ward to Montdidier and toward the doorstep of Amiens has all but been obllterated and the allies now are standing across a large portion of the old Hindenburg line.
 In Flanders the salients which threatened the channel ports have been bent eastward and the enemy is eX- pelled from the vantage points from winch he had expected to make his driVe to gain the seaboard and cause a diversion of the transport service.
 Until the rains began falling there had been no let up, notwithstanding the fact that the Germans had stiff ened, discarding infantry units as such and training them into machine gun companies. When the skies have cleared General Foch may take up his task for the two months of good fight Ing weather remaining.
 British and French In Race The British and French apparently | are in hard race for the prize of St. Quentln, forces of both armies now be- ing at equal distant points from the clty-the British in the vicinity of l Vermand and the French at EtrilIers and Coupy. To the north the British in local operations have made further progress north of Epehy in the opera | tions which has for it's purpose the driving of a wedge midway between | Cambrai and St. Quentin and also nave successfully sustained heavy | counter attacks by the Germans near | Gouzeaucourt. where the Germans are trying hard to hold back the British push toward Cambrai.
 | Heavy Artillery Active | North of the St. Gobain forest the French have made additional slight ad- vances. notwithstanding the conditions of the terrain and the strong force of the enemy aligned against them in an effort to prevent the turning of this 1 important position from the west Heavy artillery activity is in progress all along this front and likewise on the sectors northeast of Soissons and between the Aisne and Vesle rivers. the operations, which have a direct bearing on those north of the St. Co., bain forest
 In Flanders the Germans have been
 successful in local encounters near Ar
 mentieres and in the region of La | Bassee canal.
