FDRGITYGHMPIONSHIP OCT. 8
Presidents Comiskey and Murphy failed to meet yesterday to settle the details of the Chicago championship series. Comiskey was busy saying goodby to B. B. Johnson and Murphy was doubly busy with a double-header on the west side, so there was no meeting. The national commission meets in Cincinnati today and will appoint representatives to take charge of the series, although it was stated yesterday that Secretary Charles Williams of the cubs and Secretary Charles Fredericks of the sox will have entire charge. Secretary Williams was offered charge of the world's championship series, but refused because the cubs have been with him for three years, and he declined to leave them in defeat. The date of starting the series is settled beyond all argumsnt, as both Com-
lsKey ana Alurpny desire to open on Friday the 8th. The place of opening
s not yet settled, but probably will be
when Comiskey and Murphy meet to
day.

them all the luck in the world in the championshi pseries. "I could not find President Comiskey today, and I was busy on the west side, so perhaps he could not find me. If he does not call me up today. I II call him and we will arrange the details of the series. There is no argument over anything and we probably can settle everything in a few minutes." Interest in the series between the local clubs was intense yesterday, but there was a strange revulsion In th betting odds. The west side bettors were offering 2 to 1 and 9 to 5, while the south siders were demanding 3 to 1 or 13 to 5. The result was that there was extremely little betting any place.

SAP MURDERER IS 1X9 AXE. A petition to have Grover Blake, who is serving a life sentence at Michigan City for murder, transferred from the
prison to the insane asylum is being circulated here by Attorney Ed. Dally, who defended Blake. The prisoner was
sent to the penitentiary after having confessed to the murder of his mother more than a year ago.
New York, Sept. 30. Hurtled through
space with the velocity of a bullet, the Apperson "Jack Rabbit" bearing Her
bert Lytle and his mechanician, James
Bates, carried death and injury in its path during the early stages of the Long Island stock car auto derby yes
terday morning. Too much speed while
approaching one of the numerous curves on the Riverside course sound
ed the death knell. Bates, mangled and bleeding from a score of Injuries, died shortly after the speed monster swerved, turned turtle and crashed against a telegraph pole. Lytle, the dean of American motor race drivers, was picked up suffering from a score of internal injuries, but is said to have slight chances for recovery. The accident occurred during the early part of the grind, while the fated car was roaring and sputtering over the course at the rate of seventy miles an hour. Lytle slackened speed while approaching the town of Northville, for one of the most treacherous curves on the first lap, and was ready to make
the bend when the powerful racer whirled and battered its way against o.o of the poles. In the collision Bates
and Lytle were pinioned beneath the
machine, the former receiving internal
injuries in addition to fractures of the
skull.
The injured men were borne away
to a farmhouse, where Bates succumb ed an hour later without having re
gained consciousness. Lytle, who Is a veteran of several Vanderbilt cup races
and a driver of international reputa
tion, also was carried off in an uncon
scious condition, but an examination re
vealed that though he sustained internal lnjlries his -ultimate recovery is
probable.
Bates, the dead mechanician, leaves
a widow and one child, living in Ko
komo. Ind., where he went with Lytle
last June when the latter began drlv
ing the Apperson car. He was 27 years old and had been with Lytle two seasons. Previously both men lived in
Toledo. Lytle has been in many serious accidents and during the meet at Indianapolis motor speedway the veteran, with Bates, narrowly escaped death when their car ran wild on the course amid a field of twenty autos during the
second hour of the contest, which was stopped following the death of three people and the serious injury of many others.
San Francisco, Sept. 30. Acting un
der instructions from the chief of po
wee, cetectives today swooped down on Jack Johnson's training quarters and ordered the champion to stop giving boxing exhibitions with paid admission.
The champion hurried to the Hall of Justice. He told Chief Cook he thought he had been discriminated against, as Ketchel, Papke and others had been allowed to give similar exhibitions. The chief told the champion to file an
application for a permit with the board of supervisors. This Johnson did and it is expected the police commission
will act on the application Friday.
Pending their decision there will be
no further interference.

Philadelphia. Sept. 30. By winning one of the two games from the Ath

The scores of the games were 2 to 1, in the first game, after ten innings, In favor of the sox, and 10 to 1 in favor of the Athletics in the second. Stupid base running in the opener was the cause of the defeat of the locals. With three men on bases and no outs in the ninth inning, the locals allowed themselves to be trapped into a double play that spoiled all chances of a run that would have won the game and kept them in the race.
