Philadelphia, Oct. 13. Both the
Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston
Americans, contestants for the base
ball championship of the world, were
given an enthusiastic reception upon
their arrival here to-day from Boston.
The faithful followers of the Phillies
still were optimistic in spite of the
three defeats suffered by their favor-
while the Royal Rooters and other
Boston fans were jubilant in antici
pation of a victory to-day which
would clinch the premier title for the
Red Sox.
Weather prospects for to-day were
all that could be desired, both from
the standpoint of the player and the
spectator.
Governor Present
The presence of Governor Brum
baugh and members of his official
family to represent the State and
Mayor Blankenburg representing the
city, save to-day's contest an official
flavor. It was the first game of the
series that the Governor, who has just
returned from an automobile tour of
Pennsylvania, has been able to attend,
l.ike President Wilson and Mayor
Blankenburg. he is an enthusiastic fol
lower of the game.
Special Trains I (clayed
Word came from Belvidere. N. J.,
this morning that the special trains on
which the players of the two teaini
e.nd the rooters were traveling from
Boston had been delayed because of
engine trouble. Tickets for the bleach
ers. the ticket sellers themselves and
the keys to the Philadelphia ball park
were on the first train and nobodv
could be admitted to the park until
the train arrived here at 11.15.
George Foster, who had the Phila
delphia batters practically at his mercy
here on Saturday and won the game
bv his own timely hitting, was looked
upon as Manager Carrigan's most
likely pitching selection.
Meanwhile thousands of fans were
srathered at the entrance to the bleach
ers impatient at the delay.
The Boston club received a friendly
greeting when Manager Carrlgan led
his men onto the field.
As the Boston club took the field for
practice Governor Brumbaugh with
his party entered the Gubernatorial
box near the Boston players' bench.
The Governor was greeted by former
Governor Tener. now the president of
the National League, and while the

The decision of Bulgaria, the twelfth

ranks of the belligerents on the side of
Germany, Austria and Turkey was
reached only after a diplomatic duel
waged for months between representa

States. Her army, while considerably
smaller than thai of her neighbor, Ru

Commerce
It is unofficially announced that Bul
garia has declared war on Serbia. Al
ready Bulgarian troops ha\ e advanced
to the attack on the Serbian flank.
Newt regarding the progress of the
fighting on the Bulgarian-Serbian bor
der was lacking this forenoon.
Greece is maintaining her attitude
of armed neutrality. Athens advices
state that the Greeg government does
not consider the existing situation a
pure Balkan affair and that therefore
Greece is not bound by her treaty
with Serbia to come to the latter's aid
' in resisting the present Bulgarian at
tack.
\ The Teutonic advance in Serbia
south of the Danube is admittedly
f progressing, although apparently with
jno great speed. The Serbians assert
j that the attacks on the Save front
are being repulsed, despite the use of
the heaviest artillery by the Teutons.

cent reports are from the Turkish
side, recounting minor successes,

"On the other hand, the Chamber

effecting arrangements whereby a man
who makes corrections will be given
a reasonable reduction in his fire in
