he British steamship City of Madras was overhauled off Ambrose Channel lightship tonight by the United States torpedo boat destroyer Sterrett and brought back to Clifton, Staten Island, after it had ignored the war vessel's signal to stop when It left quarantine. The attendance and receipts for the final game established a new record in this department of series history, supplanting the figures made in the same park Oct. 11, a year ago, when the amounts were a few hundred less. Neither the total attendance or money taken in at the box office surpassed the banner records made in 1911 and 1912, but the amount divided among the players establishes a new standard for money won by the contestants. Owing to the fact that there are more players to share in the money this year the individual share is not a record.

SHANNON Hail to Carrigan and his Red Sox, for the second time in succession champions of the world. For the third time in three years, supreme title passed into the possession of a Boston team, when, just a little before 4 yesterday afternoon, a puny fly from the bat of Mike Mowrey settled in the glove of brilliant Everett. Scott. By putting an end to the hollow victory, it clinched the Red claim i to the title. It was the last play of the season of 1916.

Tt was the concluding effort of fruitless struggle to wrest the big honors from the American league victors. More than 42,000 people, a record attendance in the history of baseball and world's series conflicts, saw the fourth downfall of Brooklyn in five days, and cheered with enthusiasm as the Red SoX champions hammered their way to a decisive victory. Over the cleat-torn sod admiring thousands rushed to pay homage to fighting clan and shake the hand of Ernie Shore, who again shines in the limelight as one of most imposing figures.
