Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—With on«
victory safely tucked away the Boston
Braves met the Philadelphia Americans
in the second game of the world's se
ries to-day with added confidence and
a grim determination to make it two
straight. The Athletics, although de
feated in tne initial struggle, were
equally determined to even the series
and they were not a whit discouraged.
The ticket speculating fraternitv won
a legal victory when habeas corpus
proceedings forced the release of those
arrested for vending admission tickets
I yesterday. Few tickets for to-day's
game, however, were in the hands of
| the speculators when the hour for the
staging of the contest arrived. Many
purchasers secured barga.ns in ticket's
yesterday when at the last moment the
holders found that they would be un
able to use the high priced pasteboards.
! Every one who had a ticket to-day
! seemed determined to use it to see the
game or had friends who would.
The builders of miniature grand
stands on housetops overlooking the
grounds also scored in a legal tilt with
; the police and building inspectors when
i it was discovered that taev could not
be forced to tear down their stands.

TOOK GERMANS JUST TEN
DAYS TO DESTROY HEAVY
ANTWERP FORTIFICATIONS
London, Oct. 10.—The siege of Ant
werp, which culminated in its fall on
Friday, October 9, began on .September
29, ao that the Germans took just ten
•lays to reduce the formidable fortifica
tions which surrounded the temporary
capital of the Belgians. The Germans
had, however, for a long time previous
perpared the way for the attack on
Antwerp by taking up guns in that
vicinity.
The first direet attack on Antwerp
fortifications was against tjhe forts at
Weaihem and Wavre-Bt. Catherines.
These were reduced in a couple of days
'bv the aid of the big siege guns.
Meanwhile the forts at Lierre and
Koningshoyckt had also been attacked
and otners outside the line of fortifica
tions were taken last week.
Fighting Advances to Inner Line
The la«t few days has seen the fight
ing advance to the inner line of forts
and along the Scheldt, principally at
Schoonaede. At the last named place
severe fighting occurred for several
days, but the superior artillery of the
Germans gradually forced the Belgians
back until the last day or two the
fighting had reachea practically the sub
urbs of Antwerp.
On Wednesday, October 7, came re
ports that the Belgian government watt
moving to Ostend and that day also
brought reports that the population
was fleeing in terror and panic toward
the Holland frontier. Zeppelin bomb
attacks, which did much damage and
killed scores of people, added to the
terror of the inhabitants. The German
forces which have taken Antwerp -are
