BOSTON, Oct. 11. Only one game
stands tonight between the Boston
Americans and the base ball cham
pionship of the world. For the third
successive time they defeated the
Philadelphia Nationals today by the
same score that has marked all of
the Red Sox victories 2 to 1.
Tomorrow the scene of battle
shifts back to Philadelphia, where
Alexander undoubtedly will be called
upon to pitch his third game of the
series in an effort to stem the tide
of Red Sox success.

"Ales." Last Hope of rails.
If Alexander should prove a winner In
his own ball yard tomorrow, the sixth
came of the series will be played in
Boston on Thursday. Alexander is the
lnt hope of the Phillies. Ha is ready
and anxious to gq . back In the box to
morrow and is sure to give a good ac
count of himself. He won from the Sox
last Friday and was defeated yesterday
only by a fierce batting rally In the last
of the ninth. The Phillies themselves
feel that if they can give big "Alex." any
sort of offensive support he will put
across a victory tomorrow that at least
will give the National leaguers a fighting
chance in the series.
The Philadelphia batters took rather
kindly to Ernest Shore's offerings today
and made more hit than they had regis
tered in any one of the three previous
contests. The power ' to drive In the
runs was lacking, however, and eight
of the visitors were left stranded on the
Crave'th.' Long; Drive . ,
'Gawy" Cra-vath sent Lawls back
to the- left- tleld .once again, today to
catch a drive that en the Philadelphia
ground r would have been a hit tnba1 the
etaads and g6od for the circuit A little
luck, in placing these long hits tomor
row' would be all- the difference in the
world' behind a pitcher of Alexander's
ability and there are many students of
the game tonight who do' not share the
confidence of the Red Box that tomor
row's contest will be iho last. .

' cldedely commonplace. The Bed Sox got
('away In front and were never headed.
Their margin never was very wide, but
it seemed at all times sufficient and
there was little to stir the crowd to the
high pitches of extreme excitement that
'marked the struggle of yesterday.
The Phillies made a threat In their half
of the eighth because ' "Trie" Speaker
again had trouble with the sun ; and let
Cravath's single hound over his head, the
runner pulling up at third .with a three
bagger to his credit.

Two were, out at the time and the fans
were not 'inclined to take the situation
seriously until Luderua, who seemed, to
have found his batting eye i at last,
slammed out his third single of the day
and sent Cravath scampering over the
plate. ...
Dugey went In to run for Luderus and
further complicated tho ' situation by
stealing second. Whltted, with a single,
might have tied the ecoie, but his fast
liner went directly at the Boston pitcher,
who gamely knecked it down and threw
the Phllly left fielder out at first.

one democrat. "He .has - done little but I

be no distinction of nationality.
"There la no room in this country for
hyphenated Americans," he said. "When
I ' refer to hyphenated Americans, I do

As to Strikes.
Speaking of preparedness. Colonel
Roosevelt said that even In time of peace
industrial disturbances should be elimi

States at this time Is a scandal to the

to employer and employe. .'
"I am certain that ' the ' only perma

regards national preparedness for self
defense Is along' the lines of universal
service on the Bwlas model. Switzerland
Is the moat democratic of nations. Its
army Is the most democratic army In the
world.. There isn't a touch of militarism
or aggressiveness about Switzerland. It
has been found as a matter ' of aotual
practical experience In Switzerland that
the universal military training has made

This is what "Billy" Sunday said
about tho dance In his sermon yeB
terday afternoon on "Amunements."
"It Is a hugging match set to
music. It is a secondary sexual love
feast. It is the hotbed of immor
ality. It Is the moral graveyard ot
the young women of America. It is
one of the principal recruiting places
of the panderer. It has caused the
downfall of more girls than any other
Institution this side of hell. The
rottenest, most suggestive and licen
tious thing that ever wriggled out of
the pit of hell Is this tango.
"I'd like to see the -color of the
buck's hair that'll put his arm around
my wife at a dance or anywhere
else," he said grimly. And after
the applause and laughter had
stopped he added: "I'll monopolise
all that hugging myself."- ;''

would have to print It. on asbestos paper
and It would burn holes la the mall
sacks."
"Some women," he said, "could carry
their pumps and the dross they wear
at a ball In an envelope."
Passion Basis of Dance.
"I declare to you," he shouted, "that
passion Is the basis ot the dance. If It
Isn't, why don't you men dance with men
and women with women? I have more
respect for a saloon keeper than I have
for a dancing master."'
He attacked the churches for their
laxity In enforcing their beliefs atralnat
these evils.
"The lowest down rascal on God's dirt
la a dancing Methodist," he declared, and
then told several stories sbout church
people who played cards and did other
unsanctioned, inmgs.

"I played base ball well enough so that
I was offered $1,6U) a month to play it,"
he said proudly. . .

LONDON. Oct. 12. The enormouii
drain on Russia's supply of men and
tho financial strain upon the country
are emphasized by the Times' Rus
sian correspondent In a review of th
situation in tho cast. Russia, he
says, never expected the war to last
longer than six months, t had suf
ficient money, an abundance of
shells and a superfluity of men for
such a war, but was not prepared for
so prolonged and strenuous a strug
gle. -
"She strove Ijard," the correspondent
asserts, "to meet the demands for am
munition, but she poaaeases neither the

nor the industrial mobility to support
her army adequfttely. She must depend
upon outside help and has to buy from

"It should be remembered thtt the Rus

that Russia raises nothing by the sale
of spirits and scarcely anything by her
tariff on Imports and . she also has
greater difficulty in tiorrowing In
America,

Taking up Russia's enormous losses In
men, the correspondent says they un
doubtedly are' much greater than gen
erally supposed. No lists are published
of losses In the ranks and It is d'fflcult to
gauge the extent of dally casualties.
"There was dreadful carnage in 4he
