CONTEST OF SKKIKK.
Score Is five to Tour In (tame Which
Practically Settles World's Hase-!
hall Champions?Gowdy Hero of
Day In Spectacular Contest.
Iloston, Oct. 12.?In one of the
most thrilling games over played In
j orld's series the Boston Hraves
defeated the Philadelphia Athletics!
at Fenway park today, B to I. Twelve
innings were necessary before the Na- {
tionai league representative! scored
their third consecutive victory of the
present series.
?o bitterly was the struggle contest?
ed that, with the possible exception of
the final K?me between the Now York
Giants and the Boston lied Sox in
i
lilt, nothing equaling today's play |
has been recorded since the world's!
series began under national commis-!
si on auspices in 190ft.
For three hours and six minutes1
the two teams alternately led, tied or ]
forged ahead in the score and the |
K?me that began in brisht sunshine'
was won In deep twilight. While not 1
the best played game of the series, it
was so abounding in dramatic mo?
ments, thrilliuK plays and baseball
strategy that the 11,000 spectators
were lifted to heights of enthusiasm
by the struggle.
New players mounted to niches In
in the World's series hall of fame and
others suffered the temporary cen?
sure of the fans, but when the win
nlng run finally crossed the plate, the
'general sentiment was that it was a
splendid K?me to win and a trying
one to lose.
The Braves rushed joyously from
the field, determined to clinch the
championship title of 1014 with a
fourth victory torn* row, while the
Athletics, taciturn and grave, filed
slowly out of the park still hopeful
that their famous machine would yet
arise to tho emergency that faced it.
To retain the honors won last fall,
the Mack men must win the next four
games, m task generally considered
Impossible by followers of baseball.
The odds on the Boston club tonight
were :i to l, with little Athletic money
In sight.
The tuest striking feature of the
play was the lighting spirit shown by
the team that Manager George stall?
ing has gathered around him. lle
neatedly the Philadelphia team would
battle Its way Into the lead only t"
witness its rival draw alongside again
in the same or the succeeding Inning.
Ne\?>r once during the nerve racking
contest did the Hraves cease their at?
tack. Doth from an individual and
collective standpoint, they deserved
the victory they won.

WOULD USE COTTON SACK8.
CroMwell ft Company of this city
have received lettera from a leading
Horn mill of Knoxvillo ami from a
largo sugar brokerage company of
Chicago staling that in future they
intend to use cotton sacks for pack?
ing their products instead of jute,
wood, etc., as In the past. They state
that In this way many thousand hales 1
of cotton will be consumed in the
manufacture of the necessary cotton
sacks, which greatly increased the'
consumption of cotton. One of the
letters Is from the Meinrath broker?
age company of Chicago, dealers in
beet sugar, while the other, which is
herewith reproduced, is from J. Allen
Smith & Co., of Knoxvillo, Tenn.,
dealers in Hour, meal and feed.
The letter follows:
Knoxvillo, Tenn., Sept. 21, 1914.
Messrs. CrOBSWell A Co. , Sunder, S.
C.
Dear Sirs: Referring to the exist?
ing demoralization in the cotton mar?
ket and the consequent depression of
business in the South. We believe this'
is an opportune time to suggest to
the trade the inconsistency of accept?
ing such a great number of commodi?
ties packed in jute, wood and other
packages when such commodities can1
be shipped and satisfactorily handled
Jn cotton packages.
We have reference particularly to'
Hour, meal, feed, grain of all kinds,
beans, seed, rice, cotton seed meal
and hulls, salt, sugar, soda, fertiliser,
etc. A few of these articles sre al?
ready shipped in cotton packages to
a large extent, but most of them arc
not, and there is no doubt in our
minds that the consumption of cot?
ton Will be materially increased if
the merchants of the South will call
for the use of cotton packages for ev?
ery article than can be put up in BUCh
packages.
A little figuring shows that every
car of the commodities mentioned if
put up in cotton packages will rep?
resent the consumption of nearly one
half a bale of cotton, and we do not
think it is any exaggeration to say
that 10,000 cars of the commodities
named above are received and handled
in the South every day. if this is so,
it Will mean an average of ~<ui pounds
of cotton represented hy the pack?
ages in each car, which will amount
to 4,000 bales per day. or 1,200,000
bales per year. This will help won?
derfully and In addition to taking care
of thai amount of cotton will ma?
terially increase the work of the tex?
tile mills in turning ?>ut this addition?
al yardage.
We firmly believe this is a thing
that, if carried out consistently by
the trad*-, will result in an Increase in
consumption, the effect of which will
be felt quickly, and we, therefore sub?
mit it for your consideration. We
shall be Kind to hear from yon, and
trusting present conditions will? b)
some means or other, soon show i
much needed improvement, we are
with kind regards,
