Fenway Park. Boston, Oct. 12. The
Athletics, champions of the American
league twice vanquished by the Boston
Braves went to grips today with the
National league winners In the third
battle of the world's scries. Some S5.000
wildly enthusiastic spectators saw the
Athletics make a stand on the Boston
field to stave off a third defeat, which
would all but end their chances of bear
' ing off the world's championship.

Etlclie Murphy of Athletics, Who lilt
Like a Demon m Today's tianic.
The Bostons, inspired by thousands
of the home folks that filled Fenway
park tried for a third victory with the
same Keen pursuit oi conquest tnat en
abled them to twice topple over the
American leaguers in their own baili
wick.
We've got the Jump on the Athletics
and they never can get up speed
enough to catch us now," said Man
ager Stallings. "They have never seen

will beat l.'im again. There is only the
Athletics' second string artillery to stop

"We have not been hitting." said
Captain Ira Thomas of the Athletics'
"and any team looks feeble when it is
not getting in solid blows. Watch us
today. Our club is not the one to take
a third straight beating."
Boston Easeball Crazy.
Boston was plain baseball crazy.
Hundreds swarmed all night at the
gates of Fenway park. Within an hour

Boston, Mass., Oct. 12. "Four
straight; that's our aim," said
George Stallings this morning. "And
I believe my boys will make good."
"I have nothing to say except that
it is necessary for a team to win
four games before they are ac
claimed champipons of the baseball
world," said Connie Mack.
Even the Braves cannot dispute
Connie in this case.
There are fans here from every
state in the union, from many sec
tions of Canada, two or three from
Europe and one from Australia
George Ellsworth.
One Boston fan bet $100 against
$2,000 in Philadelphia on the night
before the first game that the Ath
letics would not win one game of
the series. He is confident of cash
ing. The Athletics held a council of
war here Sunday night in which
they mapped out plans for today's
battle. Their defeats have not dis
heartened them and they were con
fident that they would wint today.
Those who think that Deal didn't
plan to steal third in the ninth in
ning Saturday are greatly mis
taken," said Johnny Evers, the
Braves captain. "To some it looked
as if Deal was caught napping off
the bag and was forced to make a
try for third. But that isn't so.
Deal pulled the same stunt in the
second inning of that game and he's
league. He gets fifteen or twenty
feet off the bag and pretends to be
pulled it all year in the National
asleep. He wants to draw a throw
from the catcher. And every time
he does he's off for the next base
with the swing of the catcher's
arm."
after the unreserved stands were flung
open every seat was taken and scores
lined the backfield fences and pressed
against a guard fence erected around
the rear of the outfield. Once the
crowd broke down the wooden barrier
and mounted police had to drive the
people back into the enclosure. A force
of carpenters repaired the fence. All
this was three hours before srame time.
When the crowd was not surging, it
was cheering. Outside the fences un
able to gain admittance, thousands
clamored vainly to get in. The gates
were closed however, and barred by
the police. An Indian summer day was
furnished for the contest. The sun
glowed brightly and the air was balmy.
The playing field was flint dry and
lightning fast. Betting was 10 to T
on the Bostons to take the series.
Wagers at these odds were made at
noon. Batting practice was lively and
the long drives of the home club were
vigorously cheered. Gowdy, heavy hit
ter of the first game, smashed a ball
into the temporary stands while Con
nolly. Baker and Collins sent smoking
liners toward the left feld stands, where
the spectators tried to get the balls as
souvenirs.
Fielding practice was mechanically
perfect and executed with a snappiness
and brilliancy that stirred the spectator
to salvos of applause. Maranville and
Evers, Barry and Collins made chain
lightning pivot plays and scintillating
scoops and stops. .
- -. Cocrehant in Practice. " '
r Th- Bostons -were served- in 'halting I
practice by the Southpaw Cottrell and
Cocreham, a right-hander. While this
was going on Pitcher Rudolph and
Shortstop Maranville talked over the
plays in the series with Eddie Collins,
Philadelphia's second baseman. Ru
dolph took part in batting practice
along with the left-hander, Tyler.
The Boston Royal Boosters, led by
former Mayor Fitzgerald and a score
of "fans," dressed in Indian costumes
and a brass band playing the battle
song "Tessie," paraded around the
field and took their section reserved
for them back of the left field.
Before play was called Capt. Evers
of the Boston Nationals was presented
with an automobile in recognition of
his being the most valuable player in
his team in the National League. Ira
Thomas went into the box and pitched
during the Athletics' work out. It
looked as though Rudolph was to face
them today. Strunk has been suffer
ing from a bad finger during the
series and it was said Walsh would
play in center field in his place today.
Joe Bush and Bender warmed up in
front of the Athletics' bench whUe
Tyler and Rudolph worked out for
Boston,
Manager George Stallings was pre
sented with a diamond stick pin and
a gold ball by Mayor Curley of Boston
on behalf of the city government.
Captain John Evers was presented
with a gold bat by Mayor Curley.

Ira Thomas and Captain Evers at the
plate and looked over the batting; or

plate and Dineen on the bases. Hilde

right field.
Weather conditions could not have
been better. A bright sun developed
an at. sphere of summer tempered
somewhat by a cooling breeze from
the southwest. Thousands of persons

to join the hundreds who had held
places during the night in lines that 1
led to the bleacher entrances. The
first few arrived at ni a Sunday and '
by nightfall the waiting numbered a
score- at midnight the line was 200
strong, nd as the sun rcse there were
more than five hundred men in six
lines.
There were nearly 20,000 rush seats,
five thousand of which were to be had
for fifty cents each. The others sold
for $1. It was required that the pur
chaser enter the grounds immediately
and this precluded speculation. With
15.UU0 granastana seats aisposea ox,
indications were that the number of
spectators would be about 35,000.
This would mean receipts of $65,000.
' Boston a Favorite. .
Boston went into this afternoon's
game a strong favorite 'or the series.
The Athletics, one of tne fastest teams
in baseball, have sto.c-.i t nly one base
in two games. This is one depart
ment of play in which they plan to
take more chances today. But bases
cannot be stolen until first has been
reached and the Boston pitchers have
given few Mackmen an opportunity to
reach the first station. Philadelphians
have made but seven hits in two
games.. ,

team who has been at bat more than
once has an average of .300.' -The best
is Strunk at .286. Such heavy hitters as
Eddie Collins and "Homerun" Baker
have only one hit each, and have, aver
aged respectively .166 and .13.' Old,
ring. Mclnnis and Barry, all rated as
good hitters, have gone without a hit
in five or six times at bat. Never in
world's series history have so many
consistent hitters slumped. '
The players of both teams today were
discussing a ' statement ty Umpire
Byron, who gave decisions on the bases
in the game Saturday. The arbitrator
said that had Maranville failed to com
plete the double play which ended the
game he would still have declared the
side out, because in his opinion, Walsh's
collision with Maranville a moment
after the latter threw the ball to first
base was a deliberate attempt -at inter
ference. Maranville would say nothing
about the matter except -"I got' the
throw away and that's all that I was
interested in. After that the game was
over."
First Intng.
First half The first pitch of Tyler's
was a ball. The next came over for a
strike.' Murphy doubled down the left
field line. Oldring sacrificed Tyler to
Schmidt, Murphy going to third. The
Boston infield came in close to the
grass to make a play at the plate.
Murphy scored when Connolly dropped
Collins' intended sacrifice fly. Baker
struck out, missing a curve by a yard.
Gowdy tried to pick Collins off first.
but his throw was late. Collins stole
second, Gowdy's throw being low. Mc

hit, one error.
Second half Bush's first pitch shot
around Moran's neck for a ball. After
pitching .three straight balls. Bush
put over two strikes. Moran then
fouled off the next four .pitched.
Moran popped out to Collins. Evers
singled over Barry's head. Bush
worked a fast inshoot almost exclu
sively. Connolly 'fouled out to Baker,
who made the catch near the Ath
letics' bench. Evers stole second,
Schang" s throw being to the left of
the bag. Whitted was a strikeout. No
runs, one hit, no errors.
Second Inning.
First half The Athletics were now
ahead for the first time in the series.
Tyler took Walsh's clash and threw
him out.- Tyler worked a wide carve
and had a deceptive cross fire. . Barry
out on a foul to Schmidt. Tyler fed
Schang with slow curves. Evers took
Schange's looping fly with his glove
hand. Nj runs, no hits, no errors.
Second half Schmidt struck oat,
being fooled by Bush's change of pace.
Deal flew out to Baker. The wind al
most carried the ball out of Baker's
reach. Maranville walked. Maran
ville stole second. Maranville scored
when Gowdy ki.ocked a two-bagger
into the !eft field bleachers. Tyler al
most got a hit down the 4eft field line

more. Barry threw out Tyler at first.

' During the engagement, which lasted
the greater part , of the night, several of
Maytorena's Yaqui Indians crossed the
boundary line in order to attack the
Naco garrison in the rear. They were
promptly disarmed. Previously Ameri

they returned the fire. General Hill,
commanding the garrison, lost about
eight killed. Maytorena's loss was
estimated at not fewer than fifty killed
and many wounded.

ALLIES ARE READY

Front Is Expected.
Probable Battle Line Over 300
Miles in Extent.
Paris, Oct. 12. -The entire German
front is about to take the offensive
again, accord.ng to military strategists
today. An attempt by the German
forces which have worn down the de
fenses of Antwerp to join with the
German right wing in a movement
toward the sea coast is expected here
to be the signal for a general attack
on the whole battle line, now extend
ing well over $09 miles. -
The German general staff. - by this
offensive, it is explained, probably hopes
to keep the allies sufficiently busy all
along the line to prevent the sending of
reinforcements to ward . off the en
circling movement out of Lille. The
French war office, however,' has scented
the trap.
French and British strategists long
ago anticipated that Antwerp must fall
and started a concentration of forces
to Ostend. Now British troops, among
them, it is reported, many from Can
ada, are understood to be ready for
this new German offensive toward the
sea coast.

HE IS FOUND DEAD
Secretary of State of Illinois
. Commits Suicide.
His Body Is Discovered Locked
in His Garage.
Springfield, 111., Oct. 12. Secretary of
State Hary Woods, one of the Demo
cratic candidates at the September pri
mary and former operator on the Chi
cago Board of Trade, killed himself.
His lifeless body, with a bullet wound
in the forehead and an automatic pis
tol clutched in his right hand, was dis
covered this morning in the tool room
in a garage in the rear of his residence.
648 South Water street. The ghastly
find was made by Mrs. Woods, who had
become alarmed at his absence from
home since 6 o'clock Sunday morning.
Going to the garage, Mrs. Woods
found her husband's bunch of keys
locked on the inside. There are two
small rooms at the rear of the garage
one a tool room and the other the
chauffer's bedroom. Mrs. Woods called
to a neighbor, Walter A. Townsend, an
editor of a local newspaper, and to
gether they Bought entrance to the
building. A door was forced and in the
corner of the tool room the body of the
secretary was found.
No note of explanation was left by
Secretary Woods and the only clue
which would give a possible indication
for a cause of the tragic deed was a
bulky bundle of papers showing ex
tensive dealings in grain through a
brokerage house.
There is evidence that the secretary
carefully planned the deed. He had
taken off his hat and laid it on a bench
but did not remove his eye-glasses. An
iron bed had been placed against the
door leading to the room and all the
doors were locked.
Mrs. Woods could assign no motive
for her husband's deed.
The vacancy in the secretaryship will
be filled by appointment by the gov
ernor. Besides his widow, Mr. Woods
is survived by three daughters, Jessie,
aged 8, and Annabel, aged 5, and a
daughter by a former marriage, who re
sides in Chicago. -

War Preparations Ares Con-
"-throed on Huge Scale.
Army of 100,000 to Come Back
From Tripoli.
Paris, Oct. 12. A Naples dispatch
says that 20 Italian transport ships,
heavily guarded by an Italian naval
fleet, sailed today tp bring back the
Italian troops now in Tripoli and Cy
renaica. Their place will be taken by
a volunteer corps just furnished in
Italy.
Although the return of troops from
Lybia is ostensibly due to the fact
that their term of enlistment has ex
pired, the movement is accepted In
Italy as another one oi tne steaay
preparations bei.ig made by the Ital
ian government for eventual partici
pation in the present war. Should
Italv take possession of Trieste and
Trient, as it is confidently expected
she will do If she Joins with the al
lies, she will thus have 100,000 more
trained soldiers than otherwise, the
troops being brought back from Trip
oli being still subject to military duty
under a general mobilization.
Italy's "precautionary mobilization"
now consists of about 500,000 soldiers.
These comprise the general military
units that would eb mobilized in a
war against Austria. The task of
these troops Is to make the prepara
tions necessary for the filling out of
war strength of all the units the gen
eral mobilization has ordered.
It is not likely that with this prep
aration Italy will der the mobiliza
tion of any more troops until the ac
tual moment that the entire Italian
military strength may be called out
for active participation in the war.
IT IS COLD TODAY.
Temperature Lowest Since Middle of
April in Topeka.
This was the coldest day at Topeka
since the middle of last AprU; it was
the first time in sixteen aays tnat. me
temperature was below normal. The
average for the day was 8 below nor

northwest held the mercury down. The
temperature at 7 o'clock this morning
was 48 degrees; at 2 o'clock this after
noon It was 61 it was near-Novem-

Look out "for a heavy frost tonight!
The weather man warns the house

The rain at Topeka came In two In

second spasm was between 1:43 and 2:10
this morning. The first shower netted
