Tribute To "Slugger" Deal
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 10.—He'd been many times at bat but he couldn't wield the slat in a way to yield the profit of a swat and the chances he nad blown made the Boston rooters groan as they saw their scoring visions go to—pot yes, some seven times or rr.ore when a single meant a score he had hit into a double off the reel, but at last—at last he rose and ho banged one on the nose—and the second game was won by Mr. Deal.
It was "Deal, Deal, Deal," from the rooters came an agonized appeal ."Can't you wield the stick at all? Can't you hit that bloomin' ball for Gawd's sake make a single Mr. Deal—."
Yes, 'twas Deal—Deal—Deal, can't you help us, can't you see the way we feel? Hi, summon all your grit and deal us out a hit," and he "done" it at the last, did Mr. Deal.
For he made a soaring double when the need of one was great, and on Mann's unerring single he came sprinting across tho plate. It was in the final inning that he scored the needed run, and although the Mackmen strug-

For James was twirling a master
fo
ame, and Plank was proving his right fame, and up to the ultimate second play, you'd nervously bite your lips end pray.
So far, the feature that comes to view the shock of the unexpected, Is the total wreck of the "wrecking crew," who

ponents' line, Tingley, Davis and Conover ripping off five and ten-yard gains. The pigskin was carried to the losers' five-yard line, where Tingley went over on a trick line play. Conover failed at goal.
Conover kicked off to Springer, who was downed after returning forty yards. Here the "Suckers" started their bewildering line shifts and rushed toward the Garfield goal. The purple and white eleven held, only to lose the ball on fumbles and Captain Mathews, of the losers, went over on an end run. Springer failed to kick goal. Score: 6 to 6.
The second quarter furnished a punting duel between Tingley and Springer, as both teams failed to gain on passes or straight football. Both sides tried forward passes frequently, but to little advantage. The ball remained in the middle of the field most of the time, except towards the last, when

the losers seemed to grow stronger and got almost within striking distance of the locals' goal, but Tingley's faithful toe kept the Robinson lads from scoring.
Tlngfley Goes Over.
On the second play of the third quarter, Perkins, of the locals, scooped up a fumble and ran to the Robinson tenyard line. Again Tingley was called on and with one plunge put the oval over the opponents' goal line. Garfield kicked to Robinson, which was held on its forty-yard line and forced to punt. Garfield fumbled, and after a series of forward passes by Robinson, Mathews went over for a marker, after running fifteen yards on a throw from Springer. Springer failed to kick goal. Score: 12 to 12.
At the beginning of the last period, Garfield received and Conover and Davis quickly ripped off pretty end runs, for a gain of thirty yards. At this point, Captain Hicklin intercepted a pass and made a sensational run for a touch down, only to be called back by the referee. Springer attempted a place kick, but Nitterhouse broke through and blocked the kick. By a neat pass, Hicklin to Harris, the northeniiers netted fifteen yards. Tingley received the oval from center and started on what appeared to be an end run, but after running a few yards sailed the leather to Conover, who ran forty yards for the winning marker of the contest. Garfield kicked to Robinson, but the final shot was

Joe Bush to Take Bride
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 10.—Leslie "Bullet Joe" Bush, crack pitcher for the Athletics, is about to sign a life contract, it was learned today. A marriage license was procured by the slab artist before Boston trimmed his team mates today. His fiancee is Sylva E. McMann, an 18-year-old girl of this city.

COALMONT H. VICTORIOUS.
WORTHINGTON, Ind.. Oct. 10. Scoring touch downs in the second and fourth quarters, Coalmont high defeated Worthington high here this afternoon by the score of 13 to 0. End runs gave the visitors the verdict. The contest was played on a mudd,y field.
Worthington played without the services of three of its regular men. Coalmont will play Wiley H., of Terre Haute, at Coalmont next Saturday.
The Popular "Umps"
The last ball game was over and The fans all gathered round. And loudly cheered the umpires
And said no fault they found. They handed each a loving cup, Then cheered them once again And vowed that parting with such sports
Gave them a twinge of pain. P. S.—Yes they did! —Ed A. Goewey in Leslie's.

WILEY STARTS
WORK
FOR COALMONT
By Raymond A. Werneke. Wiley high school football men had an off day yesterday, as no game was scheduled. They will jump into practice Monday, however,, and work hard in preparation for their game with Coalmont, Saturday. Coach Wann took up most of last week by drilling his men in signals. He also gave out some new trick plays that look good.
The southsiders are expecting a battle Saturday. The Coalmont team is composed of a bunch of huskies, and is said to be a great deal better this season than last year, when they went down before the locals by a score of 25 to 0.
Wiley will not play at home again until November 14, when Brazil will come here for a game. Garfield will also play on that date with Waveland thus making it a double headet.
Wiley backers are looking forward to the Brazil game as the Brazil eleven handed the local team a defeat last year. The Wiley men are expected to win easily this year, as they will playon their home grounds.
Manager Webster has started on a campaign to boast the athletic spirit at Wiley. He has given several talks to the students, and it is hoped that there will be larger crowds at the games in the future.
MICHIGAN IN A ROMP
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 10.—Michigan and Vanderbilt splashed about in a quagmire on Ferry field this afternoon, Yost's men slipping and sliding around and through the southerners for n. 23 to 3 victory. The heavy downpour made accurate football out of the question. Both teams suffered through fumbles resulting from the slippery ball, and these fumbles cost Michigan at least three touchdowns.
The Commodore's score came In the first half of the opening period, when they rushed the Wolverines to the 20 yard line, from where Cody drop kicked a goal.
Maulbetch starred with plunges through the line and off tackle, while the whole Michigan line looked stronger than at any time this season.v
Nehf Hurts for Indiana Title Today
When Southpaw Art Nehf, Terre-ir pitcher, faces the Princeton, Ind., club at Vincennes today as a member of the Lafayette, Ind., Red Sox team, he will be supported by four town lot stars, Wilbur Shook, "Goat" Kelly, "Hen" Bonham and "Happy" Bridges. The •local fiinger is expected to defeat the Princeton aggregation despite the fact that Jake Fromholtz, Evansville Central league hurler, will oppose the Red Sox.
The game is for the state championship.

ton had made one run, more or less undeserved, and the tension was greater and greater. Two men were on bases and Murphy was at bat with one out. He slashed a fast bounder down toward Maranville, who pounced upon it with the avidity of a terrier upon a rat and leaped for second base. Walsh was racing for the base. He was out and knew it, but even yet there was a chance to stop the double play and he hurled his heavy frame at the bantam si ortstop who had reached the bag and was throwing. A fraction of a second meant much. Maranville threw, and instead of yielding ground, he hurled his body against Walsh, stopped him and the perfect throw reached Schmidt. The double play climaxed the battle and left the dazed Phlladelphians sitting as if stunned by the disaster.
Braves Crossing Champs. Boston is playing that kind of baseball, hustling, fighting and playing the game at every point. They are outguessing the champions, crossing them at almost every stage and blocking their every plan of attack.
That their tactics are having effect Is certain. From the fourth Inning to the finish today the Athletics seemed dispirited and lacked fighting spirit. Their heads were down and their tails up. 0ollhi3 and a few of them kept hustling desperately, but they had kittle chance to do anything. Plank was pitching magniflcant ball all the way. He did as was expected and he had some niagnlficcnt assistance from Colline nnd Barry In the field and some from Mclnnis.
Barry is way off in his work, in fact, the majority who witnessed the
fame
will blame Barry for the defeat. he play that won the game was made by Deal. He was on second base because with one out in the ninth he hit a long high fly safely to center.^ Strunk would catch that kind of lly ninety-nine times out of a hundred, but this time he hesitated and although he made a gallant attempt to get back, the ball fell over his finger tips and Deal reached second. A moment later came the play. Deal ventured too far oft second and Sch?.ng shot the ball down to Barry. Deal had whirled and was speeding for third and Barry started to throw, then he held the ball, and Deal landed at the base safely. 1]iuh Abuainpr Burry.
In Phillip tonight they are abusing Barry. The fact is that J. Franklin Baker was lost on the play and was so far off third Barry {iaw it was useless to throw at all and held the ball. The worst feature of tho game was the entirely wretched umpiring of Byron, who made half a dozen mistakes, decided three t-lays before they were made and revealed the danger of the selection of untried. Ho called Schang out in a desperately close play at third base, he callcd Collins safe on first when he was out clearly and then evened it up by calling him out on a desperately close decision when he was nipped' off at first. Ho called Whitted out at first when he was safe two steps, but luckily Barry's throw was wide and Mclnnis dropped the ball after a fine catch. Byron reversed

Stallings declared before leaving for Boston early tonight that the Braves will win four straight games that Rudolph and James will come right back and pitch Monday and Tuesday, respectively and ho notified the hotel people here that they would not need their rooms as they were not coming back. The Boston players are wild with enthusiasm and so confident that it will be hard to stop, them. Mack had his men in executive session tonight rfnd told them a few things. The Athletics are not beaten yet. They looked bad because they were stopped e'ead by the pitching and they seem to lack the old dash and fire, but there Is no sign of a break and no real basis for Stalling's marvelous confidence In his team.
JASONVTLLE ON TOP, 62-0.
JASONVILLE, Ind., Oct 10.—Dugger high was swamped by the Jasonville high eleven here this afternoon, 62 to 0. Captain Barrick. Poe and Stager were the individual stars for the winners.
The field was soft and slippery and straight football ruled, with a few end runs, and two or three forward passes thrown in.
Jasonville expects to defeat Garfield high, which will be met at Terre Haute next Saturday.
