SHORE AND PFEFfER ON , MOUND TODAY.
Manager Robinson is staking his last chance on Pfeffer, and has
the reteran receiving star, Chief Meyers behind the bat Mana
ger Carrigan depends upon Shore, to do the trick for the Red Sox;
Cady is .catching.
Not a scratch, of any kind but a measly inexpensive error by
Brooklyn was made in the initial frame of what is most likely to
be the last, of , the. 1916 championship series.
.BOTH SCORED IN SECOND.
BrooklylR scored in her half of the second inning, and Boston
quickly tied upthe score when her turn came. Score at end of
' inning one to ope.
BOSTON FORGES AHEAD BY TWO RUNS.
, Brooklyn was at the mercy of Shore in the third, and went the
oae-two-three route. Boston again got busy with the stick, and when
, - the third down was made had piled up two-run, lead, making two
, hit in the inning. Score now 3 to 1 in Boston's favor.
In the fourth neither side "hurt" the scoreboard. No runs, no
hits, no errors was 'the count for the inning.
BOSTON ADDS ANOTHER IN FIFTH.
Brooklyn auued. one hit, but no scores' in the fifth while Bos
ton took kindly to two of Pfeffer'g slants and tallied one. Score
st end of inning 4 to 1 with Boston having the advantage.
In the sixth Boston, got a hit, but neither side was able to
score. Brooklyn did likewise in the seventh, but there was nothing
doing in the run-getting line.
WEDNESDAY'S GAME
Brooklyn, Oct.xll. Stung into driving action to up
hold the honor of Boston, Manager Bill Carrigan is ready
.to apply goad to the Red Sox machine this afternoon to
stop the Dodgers and carry the championship crown back
to Beantown. .With his great infield kept hopping by the
dashing Dodger attack and the knowledge that his star
Dingers cannot hold down the superbas' batting aver
ages, Carrigtn demands that his men tear into a victory
Wednesday and finish off the series in Boston Thursday.
The Dodgers have outhit the Red Sox throughout the
series and outplayed them Tuesday both in the field and
on the bases. If the gritty
oaos will be in their; favor. The KeoVSox were not only
outplayed, but outgeneraled in Tuesday's battle. The
Boston "air tight" infield developed holes, and the two
nerve kings, Jack Coombs and Olsen, put the Dodger?
back in the running.
Manager Carrigan sent Leonard to the hill, while he himself is doing
the receiving. Marquard and Meyers are doing the honors for the Dodgers
There was no scoring for either in the third Inning : Boston got one
hit off of Marquard.
BROOKLYN DRAWS FIRST BLOOD.
Brooklyn drew first blood in the initial frame of the fourth world's
eries game Wednesday, scoring two runs and making two hits, while
their opponents were unable to make a scratch.
BOSTON SCORED THREE RUNS IN SECOND.
The Boston sluggers had a regular bat-fest in the second go, and
when the smoke had passed, had piled up six hits for a total of three
runs. Brooklyn: waa goose-egged.
' MARQUARD TAKEN OUT. V;
Cheney was sent to the mound for- Brooklyn after Boston had scored
taut in the fourth. The Red Sox made two 1 Hs and the Brooklyns added
ne to their Jbat ting' honors but were unable to tore.1 At the end of t
tauag the score stood Boston 5; Brooklyn 2.
Boston put another tally over the plate in the fifth frame. . Brooklyn
eould not convert its two hits into a' run. Score now, 8 to 2 in favor of
Beaneatera.
CHENEY GOING STRONG.
Cheney, who relieved Marquard, struck out three in the sixth inning and
tave up one hit while Ms teammates were nnsble to do anything in their half.
Boston came back at the Dodgers hurler in the seventh frame and with
two hits succeeded in putting another run across the pan. Brooklyn was
given the dose of noughts when she hsd her try at the baC '
' ' Rucker wWcaned upon, by Manager Robinson as his third sacrifice
te the rMWt Red Sox and sent to replace Cheney. ,

The racing has been fine. The crowds
have been large. All in all, to with
hold nothing, the fair is not much if
any behind last year's fair here, al
though not so 1 good as that which
Kinston expects to pull off week after

By HENRY WOOD,

With the French 'Afmles on the
Somme, Oct. 12 Tightening the en
circling noose, the French have ad
vanced their lines to wtihin a few
hundred yards of the important town
of diamines. The French are pock
eting it in the same manner , as the
Allies drove tho Germans out of Com-
bles.
Chaulnes, to a certant'extent, holds
the same important relation to the
German lines south of the Somme, as
did Combles north of the river. It is
a supporting point, and at the junc
tion of - several important highways.
Its capture would enable the French
to dominate the surrounding country
for several miles.
Aerial torpedoes are wonderfully
iding the French. Wire entangle
ments a rebeing systematically des
troyed by torpedoes launched from
trench mortars Unlike the scream
ing sheflls. the torpedoes are noiseless
but visibl to the naked eye through
out their entire course. - They are de
scribed as beautiful, arising above
the French lines and darting down
ward with lightning rapidity into
e German trenches, creating havoc
and consternation.

Telling j $peech--Meeting
in Courthouse
Judge J. 6. Manning, candidate
for Attorney General on the Demo
cratic ticket, and Solicitor Walter E.
Brock of the Thirteenth judicial cir
cuit, addressed the voters of Lenoir
county in the Courthouse in Kinston
Wednesday night. A large number
of citizens turned out to hear the
well known campaigners discuss the
issues of the day.
Judge Manning spoke first and
his address i was an able presenta
tion of the questions before the peo
ple. Heboid' of the splendid rec
ords of the party bo' in State and
National affairs.
Touching japon the record of Jie
Democratic party in the State, Judge
Manning pointed with pride to the
p lend id growth in educational facil
ities, saying that the Republicans are
criticizing the expenditure 6f so muca
money for school purposes, but that
they had failed to tell the voters
what had been done with the money
that was spent. Forty-eight hundred
school buildings had been erected,
212 high schools had been established
and 3,600 school libraries placed
the rural sections, and that was hut
a little of the groat work of the De
partment of Education, said he.
Judge Manning in speaking of the
ax rate, emphasized the fact that
United States; statistics showed "that
Nojfth Carolina paid the lowest per
capita tax in theUnion except its
ter to the South, wHicrf paid the same.
The figures that he read from, hp
statistics showed that the per capita
rate for state and county purposes in
North Carolina was ?4. 45, while Cal
ifornia, under Progressive Republic
an rule, had a rate of $28.65; New
York under Republican rule a little
over ten dollars, and Ohio $7.66. ft
Mr. Brock was introduced by R. H.
Lewis, Jr., one of the yojwger mem
bers of the Kinston bar.'. He did not
dwell upon statistics or records, but
exhorted" the voters to roll up , a
huge majority for the stalwart sons
who were in charge of the affairs of
the nation as well as polling a big
majec-fty for the Democratic Candi
dates in the State. '
