FENWAY PARK, BOSTON, Oct.
12. In a thrilling finish, of a twelve
Inning struggle the BoBton Braves,
champions of the National league,
deefated the Philadelphia Athletic
by a score of 5 to 4.
The world's aeries games now stand:
Boston, J; Athletics, 0.
The struggle was nip and tuck: from
the first to the last Inning and it was
Catcher Gowdy's formidable bat that car
ried the day for Boston.
Ha drove out a home ran and two
doubies. all of which apelt rune for Bos
ton. Bush of the Athletics and Tyler of
Boston pitched with honors fairly even.
Looks Like Macks In Twelfth.
It looked like an Athletlo victory when
they scored two runs in the first half of
the tenth inning, but Oowdy drove out a
home run and a base on balls, a single
by Even and a sacrifice fly by Connolly
tied the score. In the twelfth Oowdy
doubled and Mann, running for him,
scored, when Bush threw Moraa's bunt
Into left field.
The oflfclal a tendance was 35,00; total
receipts, $63,808; National commission's
share, Jfi.3SO.90; players, t34.aw.32; each
club's share, 111.485.44.
A double-quick play by the famous
'Overs. Maranville, Schmidt route, broke
up the Athletics' sixth Inning. Ctolllns
singled down to third base and beat the
throw to first. Baker pounded a grounder
at Evers and Collins was doubled at sec
ond, Evers to Maranville and Baker was
out, Maranville to Schmidt Molnnls hit
weakly to Deal and was thrown out.
A two-base hit did not help Boston In
the sixth. Whitted was thrown out.
Bush to MclnnLs. and Schmidt lifted a fly
which Oldrlng gathered in. Deal then
flammed the ball Into the favorite left
field bleachers for two bases. He got no
further, as Maranville hit a fly straight
up In the air, which Sehang got In his
mitt In front of the pitchers' box. y
Tyler Workae Fast.
Tyler made short work of the White

Cholera is Spreading Rapidly to
the Remotest Districts of Austria
VENICE. Oct. 12. (Via Pnrl.)-The
cholera is spreading rapidly to the re
motest district of Austria. A cast: has
been discovered at Feldtklrch, in the
province of Vorarlberg, near tho PwIsh
frontier. The Austrian troops In Galicia
are being vaccinated agalnat the disease.
The cold weather has caught the Aus
trian soldiers in Qallcla unprepared and
the authorities are making most urgent
appeals to tho public to contribute warm
clothing.
Owing to the Increase In the price of
flour tho Vienna Bakers' association has
announced that Its members will make
only big loaves of the so-called war
bread and that they will sell only for
cash. The consumption of horse flesh in
Vienna Is increasing rapidly. As many
as 200 of the animals have been brought

DECISIVE BATTLE
French Cavalry Division Completely
Routed Saturday Afternoon and
Another Badly Defeated.
FIGHTING BEGAN A WEEK AGO
Report of Victory for t ur'a Forces
at Ans;ntown Is Called an In

War Office.
LONDON, Oct. 12. A dispatch to
Reuter's Telegram company from
Berlin, via Amsterdam, gives the fol
lowing statement, which was Issued
last night by the German general
staff:
"Our cavalry on Saturday com
pletely routed a French cavalry di
vision west of Lille, and near Haze
brouck we inflicted severe losses on
another French cavalry division. Un
til now the engagements on the front
in the western theater did not lead to
a decision.
"About the booty at Antwerp, no
communications ran be made, as in
formation still fails. Neither can the)
number of British and Belgian troops
who crossed the Dutch frontier be
fixed.
More Victories In r'.asl.
"In the eastern theater we repulsed in
the north all attacks of the First and
Tenth Russian armies on October 9 and
10. The Russian outflanking efforta by
way of Schirwlndt (Kaat Prussia) equally
were repulsed and the Russians lost LOW
prisoners.
"In outh Poland the advance guards of
our armies have reached the Vistula.
Near Grojec, south of Warsaw, we cap
tured 2,000 men of the Becond Siberian
army corps.
"The Russian official communication
about a great Russian victory at Augua
towo and Suwalkl (Russian Poland) are
Invented. The fact thut no official com
munication has been published about ths
tremendous defeats at Tannehersj nd
Insterberg (both in East Prussia) vouches
a lack of reliable official information."

hONIlD.V, Oct. 1?. Tile news of German
movements between Antwerp and Ostend
up to the present Is so fragmentary and
contradictory a to be almost worthless.
The Germans are maintaining their cus
lornaiy secrecy and reports coming from
Relglan and Dutch sources of heavy re
pulses to the Germans, with losses sus
piciously large and round In numbers are
looked at askance nowadays.
The capture of Ostend. It Is conceded,
would be worth the ponesBlon of many
Antwerp to the Germans, so It Is taken
for granted they will not enter the popu
lar seaside resort without fighting for
very foot of the way.
Great events depend on the result of the
battle now in prog re us on the line of
Lasslgny and Lens, and the other opera
tions connected therewith, and In which
the thtee German army corps released
from th atege of Antwerp will try to take
part.
Retention Important.
The retention of Aperinont by the
French after fierce fighting, during which
the place was lost and retaken. Is re
garded as important, as the town is well
to the northward of Verdun. There Is nit
conflimatlon or the report that the civil
population of ltelfort Is quitting that city
In fear of bombardment and no news has
been received here of any specially hostile
movements In that quarter.
The claims by Vienna that Austrian
troops have relieved lYxemvel and scat
tered its Ituislun Investers is the most
striking news from the eastern theater
that is nsserted to be official. There is
not hint; here to confirm or deny the claim.
A German report also records a check
to the Russian force on the Prussian
frontier and the progress of the Gorman
armies In Poland, which seems destined
to be the cockpit largely determining the
events In this war arena.
