BOSTON WINSTHREE
PHILADELPHIA ONE
Next Games Will be Played on Home
Grounds of Philadelphians,
Where Won First Game.
BOSTON, Oct.. 14.—The Boston
Americans again defeated the Phila
delphia Nationals yesterday in the
fourth game of the series for the
championship of the world. The
Bcore was Boston Americans 2; Phil
adelphia Nationals 1. Only one error
was charged against the Bostons, and
Philadelphia, while losing the game,
played perfect ball.
Boston now has three straight
games to her credit and Philadelphia
one. Should Boston win today’s
game at Philadelphia they will be
the champions of the world, and they
will each draw down a i.ay sum as
their share of the receipts, as the at
tendance during the series has been
exceptionally heavy. The receipts at
yesterday’s game totaled $60,000.
Betting is heavy and favors the
Boston team to win, but the Phila
delphia backers Relieve that their
team will win the next two games as
they will be playing on their home
grounds. An exciting finish is antic
ipated.
ERWIN’S DEPUTY WANTS
RUNNEL, FOR CANDIDATE.
That the people of the lower river
as well as many others in the terri
tory, are already thinking of election
which is to be held a year from next
November, is evident from a letter
received yesterday by Marshal L. T.
Erwin from his deputy, Thomas H.
Long, of Ruby. That the people of
the lower river camp are also consid
ering Judge Charles E. Bunnell as a
possible candidate is also evidtept,
from the same letter. The following
is an excerpt from the letter:
“It is gratifying to hear the com
plimentary remarks regarding the
past term of the court, especially in
regard to Judge Bunnell. It is to
be hoped that he will stand for the
nomination for delegates, as I am
led to believe that he would poll a
large vote in this part of the divi
sion.”
None of the Fairbanks Democratic
party leaders would have anything to
say yesterday regarding the election
next year, practically all of them say
fpg that it was too far away to make
any plans at this time.—Fairbanks
Times.

EMBARGO ON MUNITIONS
BEING STRICTLY ENFORCED.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Oct. 13.—The
troops guarding the Mexican border
have received orders to stop all ship
ments of munitions of war being
sent to Mexico from the United
States. The order is impartial and
became effective at 12 o’clock last
nigh®. Thousands of rifles which
were being rushed across the border
in anticipation of the embargo being
established have been seized by the
officers and will be held awaiting or
ders'from the war department. Sev
eral shipments consigned to Carran

CABLE8HIP BURNSIDE
18 IN ALASKAN WATERS.
The local office of the Signal Corps
reports that the cableship Burnside
passed Sitka yesterday morning on
her way northward to repair the gov
ernment cable which has been out t>f
commission about two weeks. The
break in the cable is between Vajdez
and Sitka and it is possible that com
munication to Seattle may be restored
at any time. Heavy storms are re
ported raging during the past week,
which would prevent the Burnside
from working and it is possible that
several days will lapse before the
cable is again in working order.
