Shlbe Park, Philadelphia. Oct. 10.
The Boston National league cham
pion won the second game of the
world's series today by beating the
Philadelphia Athletics one to nothing.
It was a grueling light to the finish
and Boston did not put their run over
until the ninth inning. A double by
Ileal, substituting for Smith at third,
followed by his steal of third and
Mann's single brought in Boston's run.
The Athletics threatened in the
ninth Inning, having a man on first
and second with only one out, but a
sharp double play engineered by
SlarativUie ended the Athletics'
chance.
James' pitching was simply baffling,
the Philadelphia club being helpless
before his speed and fnst breaking
spltter. Both clnbs fielded brilliantly,
Maranvllle's and Barry's playing being
especially brilliant.
' After the game the Boston rooters
led by President Gaf fney of the Boston
club. Captain Johnny Evers and for
mer Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, pa
raded around the field while the hand
played the Boston battle song "Tessle."
The clubs leave for Boston tonight.

The Boston Braves, National league
The Boston Braves, National league
pennant winners, victorious in the
opening engagement of the world's
series campaign of 1914, struggled
upon Shlbe field again today with the
Philadelphia Athletics. Twenty thou
sand persons viewed the fray and
cheered the American league cham
pions in their effort to turn the for
tunes of battle in their favor and
thereby place the teams on even
terms.
Today's game was almost crucial
for the Athletics. A defeat meant
that Boston would open their two-day
home stay in Fenway park on Monday
with only two more victories needed
to clinch the big title in baseball while
the Athletics would be forced to strug
gle desperately to take four games out
of a possible five.
- Betting was even today on the out
come of the series.
The day was built tor baseball. The
sun dried up the moist clouds during
the morning and shone brilliantly
upon, the soft greens .oft the in m"hd
outfields. An August temperature
presaged a good workout of the play
ers in practice and a fast fielding
game.
. Early crowds.
The crowd came early. The last
lingering spectator of the Athletics'
defeat had scarcely turned homeward
Friday afternoon when a line began
to form at the entrance to the unre
served stand behind left field.
Fifteen minutes after the gates were
opened this morning the 4,000 seats

"Con" Chumos, the well known To
peka candy king, today lost a phase
of his old divorce case when the su
preme court reversed the action of the
Shawnee county district court in re
fusing to revive a Judgment awarding
divorce and alimony to his former
wife. The decision carries with it a
judgment against Chumos for $12,000
in favor of his children.
- When Mrs. Chumos sought divorce
against her husband several years ago,
she was awarded custody of one of the
children and alimony in the amount
of $12, 000 to be paid to the wife and
children in monthly installments of !
$75. Following the granting of the de-1
cree, Mrs, - Chumos took the child (
and removed to Pennsylvania. While
in Pennsylvania,' Mrs. Chumos died.
The courts of that state appointed an
executor for the estate and a guardian
for the child. With cbnsent of the
executor, the child was taken from the
country. An effort was made to re
vive the old judgment in favor of the
child, but the application was denied
by the Shawnee county court. The
supreme court today said that upon
proper showing, a revivory should be
issued.
At the time the decree against Chu
mos was granted, he was holding a
certificate from a bank in Greece for
11,000 . drachmas in favor of Mrs.
Chumos. This certificate, however,
had been pledged to a local bank to
cover debts personally contracted by

ing continues but our entire battle
front nas been maintained."
The suffering in Antwerp Is terrible.
The city was crowded not only with Its
normal population of 300,000, but with
other thousands of refugees.
On account of the Intense suffering

1 form a base of operations against Eng
land,
There "is fear here over the moral
effect of the faU of Antwerp. Napo
leon called the city "s pisioi pointing
at the heart of England." There are
now fewer than 40W,vuw uermana in
Belgium today.
Thn battle line in France Is
3SO miles long, extending from Lor
raine to the Belgian frontier. The
hope of the allies to deliver a crushing
blow against the German army In
France has been abandoned.
Antwerp has fallen. The Belgians
evacuated the city yesterday and the

Kansas-Missouri Teams Wffl
Be Closely Watched. "
K. Missouri and Washburn
Games the Big Features.
Kansas City, Oct 10. Football en
thusiasts who tollow the fortunes of
Missouri valley conference schools will
get their first "line" on the relative
merits of the University of Missouri
and the University of Kansas teams
based on relative scores today when
William Jewell and Missouri meet at
Columbia. Kansas rolled up a 48 to t
score against the Baptists last Satur
day and it will be up to Missouri to
hand the Liberty men a defeat as over
whelming to satisfy Missouri students
and Missouri enthusiasts.
Kansas appears to have an easy
game scheduled for today when the
Jayhawkers and Coach Granger's
College f " Emporia eleven clash at
Lawrence. The Emporia team it is
said will depend upon open play in
the hope of crossing the Kansas goal
line. At Lincoln, Nebraska meets
South Dakota and if the Cornhuakers
are able to humble the Dakota ns, Ne
braska stock will take a big bound.
There was some doubt this morning
whether the game would be played,
Nebraska officials complaining that
some of the South Dakota players
were ineligible.
At Topeka Coach Gray's Washburn
Ichabods expect an easy victory over
Baker university. The Washburn
eleven is fast, as was demonstrated In
last Saturday's game against the Ne
braska Cornhuskers. However, Baker .
has a heavy line this year.
The Kansas Aggies meet the Kansas
Normal players at Manhattan with the
latter team, because of its great show
ing against Haskell last weekk, confi
dent of winning. Coach Lowman
realizes his team will have to extend
Itself to win. Bert Kennedy's Has
kell Indians and the Christian Broth
ers college of St. Louis will furnish
local enthusiasm with an afternoon of
entertainment. The St. Louis eleven
arrived this morning. All the players
were "fit" according to the coaches.
The Brothers are anxious to defeat
Haskell today to even scores for last
year's defeat at the hands of the In--

FIVE DIE III ST01.
Tornado Sweeps Through Wilson and
Neosho Counties.
Chanute, Kan., Oct. 10. Five per
sons were killed and 20 Injured in a
tornado which swept a path eighteen
miles wide through Wilson and Neo
sho counties early today. '
.The-dead are: Mrs. W. Moke and
her two small children and Mrs. P.
Herman, all of New Albany, near
here, and Mrs. Irene Harmon of Del
aware Springs. Mrs. Harmon was
more than 90 years old.
The territory devastated by tho
storm follows the general direction of
northwest to southeast. Much prop
erty damage was done, the amount be
ing difficult to estimate because tele
phone and telegraph service in tho
section is demoralized. The wind was
accompanied by heavy lightning ana
hail but little rain fell.
