BOSTON, Oct. 13.—The game today was full,
of interest and good plays. Neither side made an
error, while Boston had six hits and Philadelphia 7.
For the Athletics Shawkey pitched until the sixth
inning, when Pennock relieved him. Schang caught
for both, .For the Braves the battery was Rudolph
and Gowdy, otherwise the line-up was the same as
yesterday.
BOSTON, Oct. 13.—The victory today, which
decides the world’s championship series, came
almost as a surprise to the enthusiastic fans of this
city. After taking three straight games it was
thought possible and very probable that the Ath
letics would at least win the game today. But the
much hoped result came almost against all expecta
tions. And there was considerable money wagered
that Philadelphia would take this game. The result
thus ends the great world’s championship series by
a score in games that has not been equaled for seven
years past, as it was in 1907 that Chicago defeated
Detroit in four successive games. Last year the
Athletics allowed the New York Giants to take the
second game, so that five games were played.

BOSTON, Oct. 12.—The city has gone wild with
excitement over the great victory which was finally
wpn this afternoon, even though it required 12
innings to tell the story. At the end of the ninth
inning the score was 2 to 2. In the tenth each side
made 2 runs. Nothing was scored in the eleventh,
while the Braves made the decisive run in the
twelfth. Now everybody is confident that the Braves
have a cinch on the series, as it is only necessary to
win one more game, while the Athletics would have
to win four successive games. At the beginning the
odds in betting were in favor of the Athletics, but
now it is hard to find takers at 2 to 1 in favor of
the Braves.
The pitching today was done by Tyler for the
Braves and Bush for the Athletics. Walsh succeeded
f Strunk in the outer field, while for the Braves,
Moran played center field instead of Mann. Other
wise the line-up was the same as on Saturday.
BOSTON, Oct. 12.—The game today was the
most exciting ever played here. The battle from the
first to the twelfth inning was a royal one. Phila
delphia took the lead in the initial inning but was
tied by the Braves in the second. From that time
until the Boston’s shoved over the winning run in
the twelfth there was not a quiet moment. Through
out the play there was a babylon of noise and all
kinds of demonstrations. The game was witnessed
by 35,520 people. .In the eleventh James substituted
for Tyler and held down the Athletics. The Bostons
had 9 hits and 2 errors, while the Phillies had 8 hits
and 1 error.

SHIEE PARK, Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—The
attendance today was slightly larger than the previ
ous day and the interest was intense. It was a
pitcher’s battle from start to finish and anybody’s
game until the last. Plank pitched for the Athletics
. and he was steady throughout. Although seven hits
were made off him they were well fielded and none
countd until the last inning. Then Deal, who is
substituting at third for Smith, who broke his leg,
made a double hit. He then stole to third, when
Mann made a hit that brought him home and scored
the, victorious run. For the Boston Braves, Jatnes
did the pitching and his speed baffled the Athletics.
They were helpless before his fast breaking spitter
twirls. For the Bostons Cather played field in place
of Connolly. Otherwise the line-up on both sides
was the same as yesterday. The weather was ideal.
Summary—Two base hits: Deal, Schang; sacri
fice hit, Maranville; stolen bases, Dieal 2, Barry 1;
double play: Maranville to Schmidt; struck out: by
James 8, by Plank 6; base on balls: off James 1, off

Gowdy’s hitting was the star feature for the
Braves, he getting three blows in three times on the
battery.
Rudolph pitched a wonderful game for the
Bostons, consistently tricking the Athletics by his
slow ball. The heaviest hitters could do nothing
with his delivery and he continued to puzzle them
until the end.

GOAL LEASING BILL TO PASS
'WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—It was stated this
morning that the conferees had agreed upon a report
concerning the Alaska coal leasing bill, which will
be soon presented to both houses of Congress. The
conference committee struck out the provisions by
which it was provided that disputes with lessees
should be taken into the court for adjudication.
Instead a provision was substituted providing for
other appropriate remedies for breach of conditions
specihed in the lease. The right to lease was also
extended to municipalities. The report further gives
the interior department the right to proceed under
the bill and lease the coal lands that have been can
celed by the department. It also provides that no
federal rights are fprfeited to existing Alaska coal
claimants, the status of whose claims remain
unchanged by the bill. There is also ample author
ity to make large coal reserves for military purposes.
Representative George White, Democrat, of Ohio,
let it be known this afternoon that the administra
tion expects the immediate passage of the bill which
has now been agreed uppn by the conference com
mittee. Much credit is given Secretary Lane for
the present status of the coal bill. When he recently
returned from Massachusetts, and with the assist
ance of the President, he galvanized the dying bills
into sturdy health.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Efforts to secure an
agreement on the Alaska coal leasing bill were
actively renewed today by the President. He indi
cated to Senate and House leaders that he would
like to see this legislation go through before
adjournment, if it were possible to get together. In
accordance with his idea new conferees were, late
this afternoon, appointed by the two houses, to ^$Tke
the place of absent conferees. Senator William II.
Thompson, of Kansas, took the place of Senator
Marcus A. Smith of Arizona. Representatives Wm.
L. LaFollette, of Washington and Edw. T. Taylor,
of Colorado, were the House substitutes for James
M. Graham, of Illinois and Irving L. Lenroot, of
Wisconsin. The committee at once commenced
consideration of the bill and will give this evening
to that purpose. Some of the members expressed
the hope and belief that an agreement would be
reached tomorrow, so that the report could be sub
mitted to both Senate and House not later than
Wednesday.
PROGRESS OF TH:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Warsaw, the capital
of Russia Poland, may fall at any moment, accord
ing to dispatches received here by the American
government. The city has been bombarded by the
Germans and so effective has been their work that
the residents of the city fear that surrender or
capture is inevitable. One of the American consuls
at Warsaw asks for instructions as to the handling
of foreigners.
LONDON, Oct. 13.—Advices received today
state that there is comparatively little change in the
situation in France. Several small engagements
were reported but the results were not decisive by
any means.
BATTLE FRONT, via Paris, Oct. 12.—The
allies are pushing forward gradually and the enemy
is retreating. Near the center of the battle line the
allies on Sunday captured an important German
position. They also captured a regimental flag dur
ing a bagonet charge near Lassigny, taking 85
prisoners.
PARIS, Oct. 12.—On Friday the allies took Fort
Conde, which holds a strategic position north of
Aisne and east of Soissons, which withstood 16
days besieging. The Germans were finally com
pelled to give way. They have also been driven back
from north of Arras, btween Somme and Mise. The
allies have retaken most of the positions which they
were obliged to temporarily give up.
LONDON, Oct. 12.—The Germans have imposed
a $100,000,000 fine on Antwerp as a war indemnity.
It is stated that the Germans lost 45,000 men in
taking Antwerp.
VIENNA, Oct. 12.—On Friday last the Russians
were repulsed in their attack on the city of
Przemysl. They made desperate stand for a time,
but were finally compelled to retreat, leaving 1,000
dead behind. Efforts have since been made to take
the city, but without avail. It was officially
announced this afternoon that the Austrians were
reinforced by troops which relieved the forces hold-:
ing out in besieged Przemysl.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 10.—It is officially an
nounced today that the German flank has been
turned near Cracow and that the Russian troops will
soon take the city. It is expected that they will be in
possession before the end of Sunday. The movement
south into the heart of Austria will then soon begin.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 10,—The Russians have
made substantial gains during the past few days.
They now occupy seven-eighths of Galicia and over
one-half of Hungary. The Montenegrins are driving
the Austrians hard in Eerzegovinia.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—All yesterday the condi
tions on the French frontier remained unchanged.
Various engagements have taken place but no
decisive battle has been fought. The weather con
ditions have largely interfered with the movements
of the troops.
ROME. Oct. 13.—Dispatches from retrograd
state that the Russians have abandoned their siege
of Przemvsl, in Galicia. This action is taken in
order that the Russians might concentrate their
forces and put themselves in strategical positions to
meet the Austrian and German monies, which are
now preparing to advance on the enemy.
BORDEAUX, Oct. 13.—It was decided last
evening to transfer the Belgium government to
France. Accordingly Belgian ministers, accom
panied by other officials, left Ostend this morning
for Havre, France. There the French government
have prepared offices for them. King Albert
remains at the head of the Belgian army.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 13.—A published list of
Austrians killed, wounded and missing aggregates
211,000. And many believe that the number is not
complete.
VIENNA, Oct. 12.—Cholera is spreading
throughout Austria and there are grave fears that
serious results will follow as it seems impossible to
stop the ravages of the disease.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Henry W. Diedrieli,
American consul general at Antwerp, has cabled the
department here that the Germans set fire to arid
burned a number of oil tanks which were flying the
American flag.
THE HAGUE, Oct. 12.—It develops that the
surrender of Antwerp occurred late on Friday,
since which time the city has been in complete con
trol of the Germans. The inevitable was apparent
on Friday morning, when the general staff an
nounced the fall of the forts of Breenbank, South
Antwerp. They immediately started an attack on
the inner forts, and the Belgians realized that they
could not long resist their large siege guns, so it was
decided to save any further destruction by making
a surrender.
In a statement received from
Washington it is said that no plans
have yet been made by the navy de
partment to test the 900 tons of
coal, mined by the bureau of mines
in the Matanuska coal fields cf
Alaska last year for the navy. The
coal is now resting at the navy yard,
Puget Sound. The original plan was
to have the Maryland make the
tests, but she has been observing
Mexican governments in the making
and has not yet had the opportunity.
With the gradual withdrawal of
American ships of war from the
Mexican coast a vessel will be avail
able soon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. — The
United States Geological Survey has
just issued an interesting report of
the mineral production for the year
1913. The gold produced in this
country amounted to $89,000,000.
California ranks first, Colorado sec
ond and Alaska third. The total
mineral production of Alaska had a
value of $19,413,094. Of this
amount, $15,626,813 is to be cred
ited to the gold mines. This makes
the total value of gold production of
Alaska, up to the close of 1913,
$228,392,540. In addition to this
ne.arly $17,000,000 worth of copper
and over $2,000,000 worth of silver
has been produced in Alaska.
In addition to presenting the fig
ures on mineral production this re
port also summarizes the distribu
tion and occurrence of the mineral
deposits of Alaska. It shows that
gold is very widely distributed in the
territory, that there are a number
of important copper deposits, and
also some valuable coal fields. This
publication is the first report issued
which covers all of the mineral de
posits of the Te.rritory of Alaska, it
presents a summary of the many
reports dealing with this subject in
greater detail that have been issued
by the Survey. A map accompanies
the volume, showing the distribu
