CUBS LARRUP CHIPS IN LASTJOME STAND Eighth-Inning Bally Gives West Siders Final Game of Local Season, 8-2.

Cheered on by the recreating white eox those gallant cublets yesterday took a farewell shot at Clarke's newly crowned champs winning 8 to 2 be hind the battered but still In the ring Brownie. It seemed a ehame to make the limping marvel work with a swoll en fetlock, but inasmuch as Mordecal opened the season against Pittsburg he was handed the task of low ering the curtain. For seven rounds it looked like another pirate victory, but the diizy eighth introducing a gay jamboree netted the natives eight juicy tallies and the major bit of thunder. By fitting the official skids to Sammy Frock at one fell swoop the West Sid ers accomplished something. i ney bagged the second game of the year from the new title-bearers on the local patch, the first civtory transpiring Sat urday. In both games the regular Pittsburg team, consisting of John Honus Wagner, failed to lend a helping hand. Final statistics compiled at an enormous expense shows Clarke's crew victors in thirteen games with the cubs, while the locals have scalped the leaders on nine separate and distinct occasions, uck was against the cubs at home. Pittsburg bagged nine of the eleven games played here, while in smoketown Chance's men, fighting desperately against the hostile forces, tumbled Wagner and mates in seven out of eleven combats. ESCAPE FOR 1 GAh New York, Oct. 5. Matt McGrath the famous weight thrower, had a nar row escape from death last night in the two-day meet for the national In door track title. While throwing the fifty-six pound weight the small ring that holds the ball to the handle slip ped and he was hurled to the floor with great force. It took several min utes to bring him to his senses. The iron ball fortunately missed his head by a small margin. McGrath won the event with fifteen feet to spare. Irish-American athletes assumed a commanding lead in the first half of the meeting. They made 40 points while the contending New Tork A. C. aggregation got 12 counts. The feature of the night was the 1,000-yard 'run. in which Harry Gisslng of the New York A. C. retained his title as American champion. In a grueling finish he nosed out Joe Brownlow of the Irish A. C. for first honors. The time was 2:18 4-5. The two-mile race was productive of a good deal of excitement. Mike Drlscoll of the Mercury A. C, the present champion, won In a driving finish from James P. Sullivan of the I. A. A. C in 9:39. FIRST VICTORY FOR EAST CHICAGO (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 5. East Chicago defeated the Hammond A. A. football team in the first game of the season, 11 to 0. East Chicago easily outplayed Sohl's recruits, although at times Hammond through their superior weight made long gains through Ea Chicago's line. Hascall carried the ball over for the first touchdown, after intercepting a pass. Mcintosh failed at the try at goal. In the second hald Mcintosh made the second touchdown of the game on an inside kick. McShane kicked goal. Dougherty for Hammond played a consistent game, while Murphy, McShane, Hascall and Mcintosh played star ball. Douglas, playing center for East Chicago, deserves some mention on Stagg's all-western as he played brilliant bail at center. The game was considered as a practice game and was marred by frequent fumbling. The teams lined up as follows: Hammond (0) Dunsing.

I AGREES

BOUT WITH KETCHEL TO OCT. 1

San Francisco. Oct. 5. Jack Johnson . has at last agreed to a postponement of his contest with Stanley Ketchel, in a way the parties Interested have fixed on a compromise date for the two men, who" will be sent Into the ring at Coffroth's arena on Saturday, Oct. 16. The match was arranged originally for Oct. 12, Discovery day, but when Pronioter Coffroth and Manager Britt discovered that the labor unions would not observe the new holiday to any extent they clamored for another date. Johnson was asked to postpone until Oct. 23, but held out against any such change. Here is the new agreement entered into: San Francisco, Oct. 5. At the request of J. W. Coffroth, both Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel (represented by Wlilus Britt) agreed to postpone the Johnson-Ketchel contest. heretofore set for Oct. 12. 1909, until Saturday. Oct. 16, 1909. at 3 o'clock p. m. This agreement to postpone in no wise changes the conditions of the match as set out in the original articles of agreement, signed in New York on April 14, 1909, and it Is expressly, thoroughly, and by eah of us, understood and agreed that all the agreements and stipulations set out in the original articles of April 14 are to be put into full force and v effect o nOct. 16, 1909, and the only change is in the date. JACK JOHNSON. WHjIA'S BRITT, for Ketchel. J. W. COKFUOTH, for club. Witness to the above, W. W. Naughton. When the signatures were attached to the foregoing Willus Britt turned to Johnson and said: "There will be a bigger house on the new date, although I would have preferred Oct. 23. Now that everything

if ' -

, -K' v j ,K t jC ? -r- Y:Y ' Y, V, ' - K TO POSTPONE is all right just tell me Jack, frankly, why you held out against postponing so long." "I'll be frank with you, Britt," said Johnson. "I didn't want to place you in a position of saying that you bluffed me into doing things to suit you. I have thought the matter over and I decided to change the date because it suits Mr. Coffroth's plans. He has convinced me that there will be-more money In sight on Oct. 16, and it Is Coffroth and not you who has influenced me In changing my mind." The work at the rival camps was the same as usual today. With an extension of four days, Johnson and Ketchel probably will ease up a bit in their work. They will continue their afternoon sparring at that, as the crowds which attend each of the camps daily are becoming larger and larger. With a charge of admission made at the doors it would be like killing the goose that lays the golden egg to call a halt on the camp bouts. LOWELL WANTS GAME. (Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., Oct. 5. The Crown Point ball team has been talking all summer about that 2 to 1 defeat the Lowell team handed them at the beginning of the season, the Lowell team disbanding soon thereafter. Last week the boys decided to give the county seaters a game and wrote them for Sunday. The Crown Pointers were willing to play, but only wanted the boys to come up there for their expenses, and the Lowells wanted a percent of the gate receipts, and consequently no game was scheduled. It is hoped that a game can be arranged between the two opposing teams. Lowell wants one more game to their credit against Crown Point and they are sure to get It if they ever moet on the diamond.

Indiana plays, worked by the maroon freshmen, proved easy for the Midway gridiron warriors yesterday at Marshall field and the varsity cleaned up a 1C to 0 score in a forty-minute scrimmage. It was a mock battle between the hooslers and the maroons, and Stagg's men will have nothing to fear if they can dispose of the Bloomington bunch In anything like the style seer, in the advance mlxup. Fred Walker, who saw the Lafayette tam defeat DePauw. handed out some of the choicest of Sheldon's plays, but they failed to fool the maroon team. While next Saturday's visiters at Marshall field will be away ahead of Stagg's first year team, the result showed that the Midway candidates are quick at solving new formations. The strong freshmen team accomplished the defeat of the varsity last week, and H was considerably re-enforced in the scrimmage yesterday. Stagg saw a defensive Improvement, but stated that he would work for a big boost this week in the line, which he thinks entirely too weak to cope with a really first-class team. ASK
