Bosten, Oct. 9. Breaking world's
series records and tearing traditions
to shreds the Boston Americans de
feated the Brooklyn Nationals by a
score of 2 to 1 in a fourteen-inning
game here this afternoon. It was the
second-contest for the championship
and was decided only after a struggle
that surpassed in situations any ever
evolved in the fertile mind of a base
ball fiction writer.
For more than two hours the teams,
pennant winners in their respective
leagues, battled with almost superhu
man skill and courage through a one
run, tie. Then, with the stage set as if
for the thrilling climax, a pinch hit
ter and a pincli runner won victory'
for the Red Sox just as twilight threw
its mantle of semi-darkness over
Braves' field. ,
. Delos Gainer Stars.
Of the heroes who arose from the
playing field as did the warriors
from the dragons' teeth sown by
Jason in Greek mythology, Delos
Gainer of Elkins, W. Va., was the
star of stars. It was his single in the
gathering darkness of the. final in
ning that scored from second base
Michael McNally of Minooka, Pa,
running for Hoblitzel, with the tally
that won the second straight victory
for the Carriganites over the cham
pions of the senior league.
The contest opened with a sensa?
tional circuit smash by "Hy" Myers
in the initial inning and not for a mo
ment afterward did the struggle halt
or lose- in -intercstr-for tttre"-f aQyodd
thousand fans who hung on ..every
play with intensity equal to that of
the two teams battling for fam& and
financial rewards. For a short space
of time-the lone run secured by Myers
appeared to be the margin that might
give Brooklyn an even break in the
series. V . ;
Boston Scores in Third.
In the third inning, however,' Scott
tripled to center and scored the tying
run when Cutshaw juggled Ruth's tap,
and had time only to make the play at
first base. .
From that point the Red Sox and
the Superbas grappled in a base ball
battle that rolled through eleven
periods of play without the slightest
advantage for either club, while dia
mond deeds of amazing daring and
skill held the spectators enthralled.
Sizzling hits, wonderful catches, scin
tillating throws and the keenest of
base ball generalship succeeded each
other so. rapidlythat those preceding
were forgotten in the stunning bril
liancy of later events. '
Thus it came about that, with gray
shadows creeping down over the
stands tothe field, the Boston players
made their last stand at the late.
Sherrod Smith, Brooklyn's southpaw,
who had fought a, splendid twirling
duel against Carrigan's left-handed
-star, "Babe" Ruth, faltered for an in
stant, with Hoblitzel at the hat. He
could not locate the plate in the twi
light and passed "Hobby" to Dau
birt's station. Lewis moved his club
inate to second with an infield sacri
fice; here the Red Sox manager
showed his base ball acumen by send
ing McNally in to run for Hoblitzel,
and taking Gainer from the bench

MARSHALL AND SHAW
SPEAK ATjCOLDBIBDS
Vice President and the Former
Secretary of treasury at
, Nonpartisan Meet.
TALE OF EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Columbus, Neb., Oct '9. (Special
Telegram.) In an afternoon political
meeting at the North theater Leslie
M. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treas
ury in the Roosevelt cabinet and ex
governor of Iowa, delivered a schol
arly appeal on behalf of the republic-,
ans, and Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall from the same platform
spoke for the democrats. The affair
was staged by the Platte county re
publican and democratic committees
together, and was preceded by a non
partisan reception and luncheon ten
dered both visitors. Mr. Shaw spoke
convincingly- of the republican-tariff
policy, showed up Wilson's Mexican
policy and disclosed the weakness of
the Adamson eight-hour law.
The vice president was introduced
by Edgar Howard. In his speech he
told of the effect of the eight-hour
law and devoted some time to the
tariff.
In discussing the eight-hour law
the vice president declared it was no
campaign issue, although it could be
made one when the republican party
says it will repeal it.
"The eight-hour law cannot be set
tled in court, asa court could not
settle an opinion of mankind," he ex
plained. "It cannot be settled by ar
bitration, as there are no facts, just
opinions."
The vice president in discussing the
unions in connection with the eight
hour law said: "Unions will continue
as birds of a feather will flock to
gether. There are unions of every pro
fession, and it is natural for them to
gather,"

RADIO OPERATOR'S STORY
1-
New York, Oct. 9. The story of
how ships came within range of a
U boat raider so fast on Sunday off
Nantucket that it had to keep one
waiting until it disposed of another,
was told today by Arthur Gray, wire
less , operator on the Norwegian
steamer Christian Knudsen, The
Knudsen was sunk about 9 o'clock
yesterday morning and the crew
rowed about in small boats for ten
hours before being picked up by a
boat ' from the Nantucket Shoals
lightship.
- We hiat-a the sound oTfiriilg-"SSme
time before the submarine hove in
sight," Gray said today, "but by the
time we had discovered that, a sub
marine was operating in our vicinity
it was too late to escape. When we
came on to the scene of action, the
undersea boat was engaged with the
British . steamer Stephano. , While
the passengers and crew of the Ste
phano were disembarking; the U boat
ran alongside the Knudsen and or
dered us to steam nearer the Ste
phano. "While the submarine was along
side the Knudsen waiting for the
captain to take his papers aboard,
one of the United States destroyers
came into view. Almost immediately
the submarine submerged and remain
d under water until the destroyer
came near enough to be recognized
as a neutral vessel, when it immedi
ately came to the surface and con
tinued its work. 1
' We were told to pack up our be
longings and leave the ship, which
weat once began to do. We had
plenty of time to get off while the
submarine was disposing of the other
vessel. We had rpwed some distance
away beforte the submarine hred on
the Knudsen. It tired at least 150
shots and these not having the de
sired effect, it cut loose, a torpedo,
which struck the vessel amidships
and it soon went down."

Steamship Kansan
Arrives at Eoston
Boston, Oct. 9. The American
steamer, Kansan, which was stopptd
by a German submarine off the Nan

ing and later allowed to. proceed, ar-.
rived here today. Captain E. L.
Smith and members of the crew said
they were unable to determine the
identity pf the undersea boat, no
name or number being visible. Some,
of the crew, however, when shown a

on Saturday, declared the submarine
which stopped the Kansan was an
other type, having a different ar

HUGHES DISCUSSES
! THE ADAMSON LAW
Analyzes Measure Intended to
Raise Pay of Favored Class
j, of Railway Employes.
LAW'S TITLE IS MISNOMER
Newark, N. J., Oct. 9. Following is
the address which Charles & Hughes,
the republican candidate for presi
dent, delivered at a public open air
meeting here today: : ,
"I am. not opposed to the principle
of an eight-hour work day. On the
contrarv. I favor it. 1 he general pnn
ciple of the eight-hour work day is
that limiting labor to eight hours pn
motes health, happiness and ef
ficiency. It not only frees from excessive-strain,
but gives opportunity
for education, for enjoyment, for the
pleasant and profitable resources of
leisure. The whole poiiif is the limi
tation of hours of labor, that a man
ihall work eight hours and no longer.
The 'Adamson bill' does not provide
that. It is a mere pretence to say that
it does. It does not limit hours, it
simply regulates pay. It is a wage
bill.
, Text of the ilt.
"Let us look at the text of the net.
It provides that 'eight Injurs shall in
contracts for labor Mid service be
deemed a day's work and xtit measure
or standard of a day'3 work for the
purpose of reckoning the compensa
tion for services,' of the mpl jyes
mentioned. That is the only purpose
the purpose 'of reckoning compen
sation. There is no limit to hours of
work. Then, again, it is provided
that pending the report of the com
mission and for thirty days thereafter
the compensation of railway em
ployes, subject to this act for a standard-
eight-hour work day, shall no.,
be reduced below the present standard
day's wage, aiid for all necessary
time in excess of eight hours such
employes shall be raid at' a rate not
kss than a pro-vaia tute fo.- su-:h
standard eight-hou; day.' There U no
fixing of hours of work; there is ro
prohibition of working more than
eight hours.
What Underwood Said.
"The reference to eight hours is
solely to fix the wage scale. As Sena
tor Underwood said, in the cotirsi of
the debate in the senate, replying to
another senator:
" 'If the senator would go aid con
sult with any of the gentlemen' who
represent the employes, and who have
been contending here in this matter,
they would tell him candjdly.ias they
told me, that the question is a ques
tion of wage; that they are not con
tending foi an eight-hour day; that
a' man shall work only eight hcurs,
they do not want that.'
"Plainly whether there should be at
this time an eight-hour w"ork day in a
particular employment depends on the
condition of that employment. Some
employments are readily adjusted 'to
it and others are not. Railroads arc
not like ordinary industries. It was
not suggested that it was practicable
to put in a true plea for an eight-hour
day for the railroad. Indeed, the con
trary was conceded. Railroad runs
are made to division points. Men se
lect thjjir homes accordingly.
Time of Actual Service.
"The time of actual service may be
more or less than eight hours. This
has' not been changed; tt was not in
tended that it should be changed. The
change is in the wage scale, not in the
hours of labcr. Railroad wage sched
ules were based on hdurs and miles;
that is, ten hours and 100 miles. If a

SEES THREE SUBMARINES
Newport, Oct. 9. Rrear Admirat
Albert Cleaves, commander of the de
stroyer fleet, announced today that
he had obtained the names of approx
imately 220 persons, including thirty
three women and ten children rescued
from five of the six steamers known
to have been torpedoed yesterday hy
a German submarine. This list did not
take into account the crew of the
British steamer, Kingston, which was
still missing at 10 o'clock today. .
All hands had been saved, the, ad
miral said from the steamers, West
point, Strathdene, Bloomersdijk,
Christian Knudsen and Stephano, the
latter a passenger ship plying be
tween New York and St. Johns, N. F,
Several of the torpedo boat dnitroy
ers reported that they were still
searching fof the Kingston's crew,
supposed to be adrift in life boats.
Nine Ships Reported Sunk.
According to a report brought by
officers of a flotilla of United States
destroyers which picked up passen
gers and cre.ws of several of the ves
sels destroyed nine merchant ships
were sunk.
One of the submarinea is supposed
to have been the U-53, which visited
this harbor Saturday, and another
was declared to be the U-61. Mrs.
Henry B. Wilson of Williamstown,
Mass., a passenger on the Stephano,
one of the Vessels sunk, said that an
officer and several of the crew told
her that they had distinctly seen the
name U-61 on the submarine that at
tacked their ship.
Six vessels are known to have been
sunk and the report that the total of
nine was based on a statement of the
captain of the Nantucket shoals light
ship. The captain said three subma
rines were engaged. "'
.' List of Victims. T. r ' "
The list of submarine victims in
cluded four British, one Norwegian
and one Dutch vessel. The identity
of the three reported lost had not
been learned early today, i The Brit
ish vessels were the freighter West
Point, hound from London for New
port News; the Strathdene, from
New York for Bordeaux; the Kings
ton, destination not stated, and the
passenger steamer Stephano of the
Red Cross line, from St. John, N F.,
for New York. The Bloomersdijak.
Dutch, bound from New York to
Rotterdam, via Kirkwall, snd the
Christian Knudsen, a Norwegian
tanker, are the others whose iden
tity is known. '
The" crews of all these vessels, ex
cepting the Kingston, were brought
here today, together with 'eighiy
three passengers of the Stephano.
It was believed that no lives had
been lost and although the men of
the freighter Kingston were report
ed adrift hi open boats, the fact that
the weather was mild and the sea
calm made it seem probable that they
would be rescued within a few hours
Thirty Stephano passengers were
American tourists, returning from
New Foundland and the Canadian
maritime provinces. All came
through without injury, but lost all
their effects.
Destroyer Takes Passengers.
When the Kricsson, which picked
up some of the'Stophano boats, ar
rived at the lightship Commnder
Miller said he observed a submarine
about a mile distant and almost im
mediately heard three shots from its
how gun. Through the haze he could
dimly make out the Stephano, the ob
jtct of the attack. None of the shots
struck the ship. The Stephano hove

Submarine Activity May Develop
Some New Questions of Neutrality
Washington, Oct. 9. Possibilities
of diplomatic complications over the
German , submarine raid along the
New England coast seemed today to
point toward the allies as well as
Germany.
State and navy officials, scanning
ihe reports of the destruction of
ships within sight of American
shores, found no reason today to
change their first impression that the
submarine operations had been con
ducted so far within the limitations
of international law, but they were
fully alive to the dangerous possi
bilities. Destruction of an American
ship carrying contraband might eas
ily cause anoincr rrye case ami any
loss of life at all in, any case might
easily reopen the whole submarine
question.
I he tnreatcnen complication wun
the allies lies in their contention that
submarines, because of their nature
should be excluded frorti all neutral
ports. Today's London dispatches,
quoting from the Manchester Guar
dian to the effect that such a view
was set out in the recent memoran
dum sent by the allies to neutral gov

Six vessels are known to have

boat in the steamer lane off .the
coast ut Massachusetts on Sunday.
Three others have been reported
sunk, but this is not confirmed.
Four of the victims were British
owned, one Dutch and one Nor

port on Saturday, is known to be
one of the attacking craft. It is
thought the U-61 also took part in
the raid, and that perhaps several
other German submarines are
present.
Eighty American citizens were

vessels sunk; they were all saved.
Commanders of the submersibles

Wilson Says Imperial Govern
ment Must Completely Ful

NO REASON TO QUESTION
Long Branch, N. "J., Oct. 9. Presk
dent Wilson announced today as a re
sult of the German submarine attacks
on vesaVIs off the American coast that'
"the German government will be held
to the fulfillment of its promises to
the government of the United States."
He added that he had no right now to
question Germany's willingness to ful
fill the promises.' '
Just befdre Count Von Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, called on the
president at Shadow Lawn this after
noon Mr. Wilson issued the lullowing
statement: :
"The government . will of course
first inform itself as to all the facts
that there may be no doubt or mistake
as far as they are concerned, .
"The country may rest assured that
the German government-will be helcV
to i... complete - fulfillment of it;
promises to the government of the
United States, 1 have no ngnt now to
question , its willingness to fulfill
them." ! , ,' ,.: 1
The president was represented to
day as being deeply concerned over
the situation, although he had no in
formation from official sources indi
cating the promises oi the' German
government had been violated. It was
stat(d that a thorough investigation
would be made.
Count von Bernstorff, following his
talk with President Wilson, declared
that from information in his posses
sion all the attacks on vessels off the
American coast by a German submar
ine had been conducted in accordance
with cruiser warfare.
, ' Germany- has promised to conduct
its submarine warfare in accordance
with the rules of cruiser warfare,"
the German 'ambassador said, "and
Germany always keeps its promises."

Chicago Physician 7
7 Shot by Patient
Chicago, Oct. 9. Dr. J. B. Wein
traub was shot and probably fatally
injured in his office today by Arthur
McLaren of Livingston, Mont.
McLaren was a patient of the phy
sician and is said to have been dissat
isfied with his treatment.
In a statement to the police after
his arrest McLaren said that Dr.
Weintraub operated on him in 1909;
that the operation was improperly
performed, and that as a result he
could never marry.
"1 was sick at the time," said Mc
Laren. "He told me that the opera
tion would cure me, but it did not. I
have never been able to stop thinking
of what he did." ;
The prisoner said that he was a
dentist and formerly practiced his pro
fession at Jerome, Idaho,

tion received here that anything in
the nature of a formal representa
tion had been made.
Each Case Rests on Merits.
The, position of the United States,
as (ar as it has been announced, has
been to decide on its merits the case
of each submarine entering an Ameri
can port. Inasmuch as the German
submersible which entered Newport
Saturday took no supplies, asked for
no privileges and departed almost im
mediately, it is not thought that it
raised any issue.
The general opinion prevailing to
day .was that with the gathering of
allied cruisers off the New England
coast, the submarines would desert
that field and strike their next blows

pected to hear of operations in Ihe
Gulf of McxiccV where a persistent
story says a German base has been
