The. Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Americana, who In their meeting today on Braves field In the third game of the world series had as a setting their champoln shlp activities a crowd which officials predicted would be the greatest paid attendance In the annals of baseball. The teams changed over Sunday from Philadelphia, the smallest major league ball park, to the largest base ball ground In the country. For two days Braves field will be the scene of activity with the result ant prospect that both In finances and In the number of spectators this will be a record series. To date the attend ance is behind that of last year but with the money received in advance of previous figures. Every element of Interest possible in advance was preeent today to draw out a tremendous throng. The weather was as clear as a mid-summer day. Although the morning was cloudy the unclouded sun promised a touch of warm'n to blunt the edge of the light autuirn breeze. The forecasters pre dicted that the temperature would rise arout noon, adding to the prob ability of typical baseball atmosphere for the post series contents. It was regarded as a certainty that Moran would be forced to send his leadlne pitcher, Alexander, . back against the Red Sox in the first game . here as be did In the first game of the series on Friday, in order to give him the advantage which today's game would give to the winner. Alexander's deefnt today would narrow Philadel phia's chance to slender proportions. Alexander again successful would give ths Philadelphia manager the oppor tunity to seek pitching assistance to morrow from his second string of wtlrlers probably Chalmers, with the nr of his pitching staff ready to be ca.led on if necessary for a third game on Wednesday. The probable line-up for today's game la as follows: . Philadelphia. Stock, 3 b. Uancroft, ss. I'askert, cf. Oravath, rf. Luderus, 1 b. Whltted, If. Nlehnrr, 2b. Hums, c. Alexander, p. Boston. Hooper, rf. Scott, ss. Speaker, cf. Hoblltzell, lb.' Iwis, If. Gardner, Sb. Parry, 2 b. Currlgan, c Jeonard, p. The ned Sox and the Phillies went Into the third game today with hon ors even and with 'nterest as keen for the reopening of the series In tills city aa it was at the start In Philadelphia, Ily some ohaervera today's contest n termed crucial, particularly as to its bearing on the plans of Manag er sioran. Red Sox supporters remarked with satisfaction that the team has outhlt the Phillies thus far in the series. Ex pert opinion generally has been to the effect that Philadelphia was po tentially the better batting team. But the Red Sox have hit for a team av erage of .269, wo far, as compared M'h '140 for their opponents. Oeorgle Foster, hero of Saturday's rime, has contributed largely to the Ited 8ox advantage In thla connection, with sn average of .760 for his three hits Saturday. Gardner, with three hits out of seven times at bat, leads the regular players of both teams at 29, and "Duffy" Lewis U second with .178. A pitcher la high batsman of the-Phillies also, Alexander hav ing an average of .181, the only mark anove .100 held by any member of ni team. Cady and Thomas of Boston nd stock, .Nlehoff and Burns, of Phil- "oeipnia, have gone hltles so far. . 1 rom outward I appearance the train of the games last week did not greatly affect the players.

UnllL UUHUMS MAKES ADDRESS MUCH DISCUSSED Sound3 Ringing Note of Tri umph Before W. C. T. U. Con- vention Over ViK In Crusade Ap' alcohol. REVIIV EVENTS OF PAST TWENTY MONTHS Miss Gordon Urges Members to Work for Constitutional Amendment and Makes Other Recommendations. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 11. There waa a ringing note of triumph in the ad dress with which Anna A. Gordon, the president, greeted the first busi ness session of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union here to day. Her address came after the re port of the executive committee and the appointment of credentials and other committees. It swept the world as affected by the crusade against al cohol, and found therein great cause for rejoicing. "Looking backward over the past twenty months and forward to the year 1916 one might epitomize the temperance movement in retrospect and prospect as 'a movement of vic torious yesterdays and confident to morrows,' " said Miss Gordon. "These months chronicle an unprecedented number of prohibition victories. The temperance transformation of Russia; the antl-liqiuor measures In effect in German, French and EngliBh mili tary circles; the complete abolition of alcohol in the United States navy and in the Panama canal tone; the out lawing of the liquor traffic In Vir ginia, Colorado,. Oregon, .Washington, Arlzona'Arkansas", Idaho, Iowe, Ala bama and South Carolina; the ma Jority vote for state-wide prohibition In both branches of tah's legislature; the triumph of the enemies of the saloon In a large number of counties and cities; tho upholding the United States supreme court of the constitu tlonality of the prohibition provision of the Indian treaties making one fifth of Minnesota dry; the victorious prohibition elections In forty-five of Minnesota's counties; the battle royal for prohibition in the district of Co lumbia; the total abstinence rules en forced by many Industrial and rail road corporations; the decrease at the rate of $1,250,000 a month of the In ternal revenue collections on distilled spirits despite the fact that wines are paying high tax as a result of the emergency war tax law enacted by the last congress; the enactment In prohibition states of stricter enforce ment laws; the discussion of total ab stinence and prohibition by press and popular magazines, and the marked decrease of their liquor advertising; the growth of anti-alcohol sentiment In the medical world these, with the endorsement of national constitutional prohobltion by hundreds of influential organizations and the out-spoken dec larations of men prominent In the of ficial and political life of the United States and other nations In favor of prohibition and total abstinence, have given a marvelous Impetus to the movement for the banishment of John Barleycorn from the business, the so cial, and the political life of the civil ized world. The majority vote on the Sheppard-IIobson bill In the United States house of representatives on De cember 22 1914, even though It fell short of a decisive victory, was a tri umph for nation-wide prohibition." The speaker said that all white rlb honers were praying for success of the cause at the polls In Ohio next month, and In Vermont next spring. "California, Florida, Kentucky, In diana, LnulHiana, Michigan, Minne sota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming and other near-prohlbltlon states are fast ap proaching the mountain-top of state wide prohibition," she assorted. Miss Gordon's address was volumin ous. It dealt la detail with all branches of the work prohibition by constitutional amendment; the situ ation In Europe; total abstltnence, the progross of woman's suffrage in which temperance workers, she said, rejoice; the peace movement In which she stated that temperance workers are prominent; the work of the young people; the movement for a Frances 13.
