By FRANK G. MENKE,
Sporting Editor of the International News Service.
EBBETTS FIELD, BROOKLYN, Oct. 11.—The Red Sox took
the fourth game of the world’s series by the score of 6 to 2 this
afternoon. Their victory was due to clean hitting and they were
sided by four errors on the part of the Dodgers.
The Dodgers jumped into the lead in the first inning, when
Putch Leonard developed a streak of wildness. The home team
got two runs on two hits and an error, but their scoring ended
vight there.
AR . -
With two men on bases in the
“¥econd inning and two strikes on
. : »
" him, Larry Gardner lined out a
' eircuit smash to center. That put
the Sox one run in the lead
ot
_and never afterward were they
headed.
Three Dodger pitchers were worked
‘;»'lvlth indifferent results. Marquard,
‘who started, retired in the fourth,
ind Cheney, who replaced him later,
ave way to Rucker.
The Red Sox played a dashing
game throughout, and with superb
vonfidence. After Gardner hit his
" homer the Dodgers seemed to go to
vieces,
FIRST INNING.
Red Sox—Marquard's first pitch to
Hooper was a low fast one and he fol
lowed this with a high one. Two strikes
were whizzed by and then Harry ground
#d out, Marquard to Merkle. Janvrin
worked the Rube for a three-two count,
but the southpaw had something on the
last one and whiffed Harold. Marquard’s
control was splendid. He wasted one
outside curve on Walker and then
;?‘Sipped over three successive strikes.
‘The Brooklyn bugs were dizzy with de
" light as the pitcher with the crooked
%fieck strolled to the bench amid salvos
®pf applause. Marquard pitched but fif
' teen balls in the inning. Eight of them
were_strikes. NO RUNS, NO HITS,
-NO ERRORS.
. Dodgers—Jimmy Johnston, the fleet
" Jitt.e Southerner, liked the looks of the
r E{rsl one that Dutch Leonard served him.
. He pickled it to right center and sprint
'pd to third base, Myers let a pretty
. gtrike pass, but swung at the second.
Eeonard was pitching with every ounce
of strength he had. Myers rapped a
single to right and Jimmy cantered
' home. Merkle looked at two wide ones
and then fouled one. Leonard was try
ing to put too much on the ball and
Merkle drew a pass. With one strike
called Wheat forced Merkle at second,
Gardner to Janvrin. Myers was Ferched
on third and Wheat on first with Cut
shaw up. On a short wild pitch to Cut
. shaw, Wheat traveled to second. There
was another low one and then Cutshaw
gwung at a pretty curve. He fouled the
next one. With the count three and
two, Cutshaw rapped to Janvrin as
Myers dashed for the plate. Harold
tried to hhrry the play to the plate and
fumbled. Myers scored, while Wheat
went to third and Cutshaw was safe at
first. Mowrey waited for three balls
and when Leonard grooved a strike, he
tried to kill fit, but only fouled. He
gwung at another strike, and the count
was three-two. Here the Dodgers tried
to put on a double steal and Wheat was
paught between third and home. Carri
t gan to Janvrin to Gardner. Cutshaw
went to second. Leonard rose to_the
smergency and whiffed Mowrey. TWO
IUNS, TWO HITS, ONE ERROR.
SECOND INNING.
x—Hobby looked at a low one,
lhfi:ddl?:wpd a strike to pass unnoticed.
J ‘\mother low one failed to tempt the b;s
Arst sacker. Again Marquard curv
one over and Hobby still kept his bat
on his shoulder. He was determined to
wait 'em out and was rewarded with a
walk. The Red Sox were making Mar
guard pitch. With the count one and
two on Lewis he doubled to right and
Hobby went to third. It was up to Lar-
D 0 Garaner to keep the rally sustained.
He let three 10w pitches pass, and then
allowed two strikes to slip over. He

as Julius Caesar. Wheat ended the in
ning with a fly to Lewis. NO RUNS,

FOURTH INNING.
Red Sox—Players on both clubs were
complaining of Quigley’s decisions on
balls and strikes. Lewis did the usual
stunt of waiting until Marquard had to
lay one over and then singled. The
Brooklyn bunch trembled when Gardner
walked to the batter’s box, but he was
out on a neat sacrifice, Meyers to Mer
kle. Scott rapped to Mowrey and was
out to Merkle on a fast play. Lewis
held second. Carrigan played the wait
ing game as usual and finally rapped a
single to center, scoring Lewiss Breook
lyn fans began ordering coffins _and |

quard had pitched himself into a three

one over, but his control didn’t last, and
the rival pitcher walked. Leonard trot-\
ted for second on a short passed ball
and Carrigan dug out for third, but
Meyers recovered in time to fire the ball’
to Cutshaw, stopping I.eonard. ONE
RUN, TWO HITS, NO ERRORS.
Dodgers—Cutshaw looked at a ball
and a strike and then doubled to right.
Mowrey stole Boston's stuff and began
to wait. He was rewarded with a walk.
Olson let a ball and a strike pass with
out lifting his club. He popped to Hob
by trying to sacrifice. Chief Meyers
waited for a three-two count. He
fouled off a strike, and then another one
and still another one. Leonard’s control
was perfect. He stuck the fifth suc
cessive strike over and Meyers popped
to Scott. Big Pfeffer went in to hit
for Marquard, and took three healthies.
NO RUNS., ONE HIT, NO ERRORS.
FIFTH INNING,
Red Sox—Cheney took the hill for the
Dodgers. At this Point of the proceed
ings. Umps Connolly got all het up and
excited over a fire in the left fleld
bleachers. He interrupted the game and
called a confererxe of arbiters. They
approached the conflagration stealthily
and found the glare was caused by the
reflection of the sun on a pane of glass.
Everybody happy. Cheney's start was
hardly auspicious, for* he walked Hoop
er., Janvrin bunted a foul and then let
two balls pass. He worked Cheney for
a three-two count and then whiffed.
Meyers dropped the third strike and
Hooper went to second. Walker skied
to Olson. Hobby drove the first ball
piteched along the left field foul line for
a two-bagger and Hooper counted.
Lewis ended the inning by fanning.
ONE RUN, ONE HIT, NO ERRORS.
Dodgers—After looking at one on the
outside, and one over, Johnston skied
to Lewis. Myers also sent one skyward
and Hooper took it in easily. It was
evident that the Brooklyn spirit was
just about crushed. Merkle gave the
‘fans a thrill by singling to right center,
and the bugs perked up when Wheat
rapped cleanly to left, sending Merkle
to second. Cutshaw waited until the

BAYONNE, N. J., Oct, 11.—Strik
ers of the Tidewater Oil Company |
held Bayonne in a grip of terror to
day.” One thousand strikers uttacked‘
J. J. O'Connor, lleutenant of the Le
high Valley Railroad police, and five
assistants, beating them into uncon
sciousness. Belleving O'Connor was
dead, the strikers threw his body
across the railroad tracks and left lt.l
The other railroad detectives were
almost beaten to death in another at-‘
tack. Al of the Constable Hook sec
tion of the city was in the hands of |
the strikers and no person was al-|
ylowed to enter until he stated hlsl
business. A traveling man did notl‘
Emove tast enough for the strikers
when ordered to leave and was at-4
‘tacked and badly beaten. The police
were powerless.
! The authorities have granted the
§Standard oil Company, owner of the
iTidewater company, permission to
‘use machine guns against the strik
‘ers. The company asked such per—‘
'mission early today.
| Mob Holds Up Train.
} A mob held up a Jersey Central
freight train in the belief It was
‘haullng zunpowder to the oil plant.
While the fireman fought off the
{strikers who tried to climb aboard
the engine, the engineer opened the
‘throttle and the train rattled through.
'The strikers managed to cut off six
cars, which they rifled. |
Another mob attacked the tele
graph office of the Jersey Central
station at Twenty-second street, or
dering Miss Anna Doody, the tele
graph operator, to leave. When she
refused she was beaten.
A situation which threatened for a
while to develop into the most dan
gerous of the strike arose at noon
when between 700 and 800 armed
strikers moved upon the police sta
tion to rescue two strikems whom the
police had arrested. The strikers
threatened to tear down the police
station if the prisoners were not
given up. .
The four or five policemen in the
building armed not only themselves,
but all the reporters in the building
to resist tne threatened assault.
Boy Brings Aid.
In the meantime a boy was smug
gled from a rear window and with
him a bicycle. The boy rode off un
seen and brought up reinforcements
of twenty armed reserves. When
the mob saw the reinforcements ap
proaching with weapons in hand, it
dispersed.
The police received numeroys com
plaints from passengers arriving on
trains that they were being held up
by strikers and searched to establish
their identity.
It was pay day for the 3,600 em
ployees of the Pacific Coast Borax
Company and the strikers said that
all the workers must quit work when
paid. A group of girls refused to
leave and were roughly handled.
The rioting threatens to become
even worse than it was a year ago,
when there was widespread violence
and bloodshed among the Tidewater
strikers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-—James

to Germany, this afternoon made
the first explicit statement posi
tively denying all reports that he
had come to the United States to
warn the Government of the dan
ger of a rnur:.\'ption of reckless
submarine warfare by Germany.
He said:
“It is not true that | came home
at this time to serve notice on
the President of Germany's inten
tion to repudiate her pledges
regarding the conduct of subma
rine warfare, or that Germany
was contemplating the resumption
of submarine _attack- upon all
kinds of shipping.”

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Count Jo

sador, today declared that there will
be no resumption of indiscriminate
U-boat warfare in Germany.
“There will be no recurrence of the
U-boat warfare,” the Ambassador
said, with unusual emphasis. “Ger
many does not contemplate to in any
way violate the pledge she made to
this country.”
The Ambassador's statement was
made after he had held a conference
with James W. Gerard, Ambassador
to Germany, who has just arrived in
this country on a vacation.
Mr. Gerard called on the German
Envoy, and was with him for quite a

Future contracts in New York and

prices New York showed a gain for

in New Orleans. New Orleans ad
vanced spots 31 points to 16 1-2.
~ Increasing eagerness among mills,

the speculative element to buy cot

advance in both spots and futures.
Predictions were made here that

Before a crowd that overflowed the“
hzil of the Rea Men's Wigwam oni
Wednesday afternoon, repmaentatlvesi
of the four brotherhoods of rallroad
men began the discussion of plans
to end the Atlanta trolley strike by
arbitration, or win it for the strikers.
The brotherhood men had invited
all other unions, representatives of
civie bodles, ministers and leading
citizens in general to attend thelrl
meeting, but most of the assemblage |
appeared to be made up of unlon‘
folk. There was no official deleza-‘
tion from other bodies present.
The meeting adopted a motion to
have one representative from each
union in this district join representa
tives fro mthe four protherhoods m
analyzing the situation. They will be
instructed to get at the truth of the
situation and make it known to the
public, which is to be asked to act as
a court and make its decision by
sentiment for one side or the other. |
About 60 unions wilk be repreaent-i

ing Wednesday. |
The opening remarks of George‘
Evans, of the Order of Railway Con-‘

“Leave the brotherhoods alone and‘

him.
j “The trouble is that the vast ma

clared. ‘““They don't realize that all

“] thank my friend very much,” he
said. “But I can not run for office

Mr. Felder had just left the court
room, where he had testified as to the
attack made upon him in the Kim

Delegation Suggested,
Mr. Felder suggested that the four
brotherhods send a delegation to the

Attorney W. H. Conner, of Griffin,
put several questions Wednesday in
the United States District Court to
establish whether a moonshiner could
run as fast as 30 miles an hour.
Claud Thompson was on trial as the
proprietor of a still near Griffin, and
raiders swore they found tracks
which looked mighty like his .
Mr. Conner put his question to Dep
uty Marshal Freeman, who was one
of the revenue raiders:
“If a man wearing a No. 6 shoe
should run at the rate of 30 miles an
hour through the mud he would make
tracks that would fit a No. 8 shoe,
wouldn’t he?”
Without going into the scientific
end of the guestion, Mr. Freeman re
plied:
“I never heard of a man running
that fast except on a train.”
Sheriff Holland, of Monroe County,

“If this is true and it develops that
a man was responsible for such a

If it is a woman's act—well I know
the mother of those children and can
say that she would cow-hide that
