SMITH LONG IN SPORT WORLD

New York, Oct. 12. The death of Alfred H. Smith, better known in the Fporting world as "Al" Smith, which was reported at the Gllsey House aftr midnight, removes a man who was the last court of resort In all disputes on sporting matters. While Hmith achieved much fame as referee in important prize fights, his reputation was built as much on the fact that he had been the stakeholder of millions of dollars wagered in bets on

sporting events and on political elections. Fort twenty-four years, as a bachalor, he occupied the room In the GI1sey House where he died yesterday. In this room Smith had one of the nft complete sporting libraries extant. A "hen the library was seriously Si amaged by fire last spring Smith was deeply affected. He grieved over his irreparable loss, and his friends say he was not well since.

Rain, cold, wet weather and Secre

tary Barnard nrevented the fourth

game of the series between the White Sox and the Cubs yesterday, and caused a hiatus in the civil war.

It was not exactly a flag of truce.

for the game was called off during the

morning in violation of all national commission rules, and for a time during the afternoon the Cubs and the Cub owner were angry, declaring the game never should have been postponed. President Murphy argued that Barnard had no authority for his action. Beyond all question Secretary Barnard exceeded his authority in declaring the game off at 10:35 in the morning, as the national commission rules strictly declare that the umpires shall be sole Judges of the condition of the field. Instead of waiting for the umpires to call the game off Secretary Barnard postponed it on his own initiative, and announced that the game would be played on the South Side today. Barnard, in making his ruling, reversed his decision of the previous afternoon. After the game on Sunday he announced that today's game would be played on the West Side grounds regardless of weather conditions, but in making his ruling he forgot that It was necessary for him to gain the consent of the two clubs, and also forgot that, under' the original agreement, ar.y game of the first four which was postponed should be played on the grounds of the club from which the contest was postponed. The mistake was a natural one, as Barnard undoubtedly thought yesterday's game would be played and that

his duty was to facilitate the sale of

tickets for Tuesday's game. Early yesterday morning after Secretaries Barnard, Williams and Fredericks had spent most of the night opening mail orders and placing reservations. Secretary Fredericks telephoned President Comiskoy that the conditions

on the ball park were bad and that I everything looked had. Comiskey fig- j

( urd quickly. He figured first that if

ne ordered the game played the players woul dhowl for years that he had robbed them of money, and that if he had been getting the coin he would have called off the game. The rules governing such contests provide that the umpires shall have complete control and sole judgment as to the conditions, but Barnard, being chief of umpires, took the entire responsibility and called off the game, ordering It played on the South Side today. The Cubs kicked, but not strongly, and after hearing both sides of the question, agreed that the Interpretation of the original agreement was correct and that the game postponed from yesterday should be played on the South Side today. As to wether the game should or should not have been called off the question was open. At 2 o'clock it looked as If the calling off was foolish, but at 3:13 rain was pelting down and it looked as if the move was a wise one Comiskey, having- little at stake, acted first In the interest of the players, knowing that they would howl wildly if by any unlucky chance the crowd was small, and secondly to protect the public. Prospects for today's game were not changed by the postponement. When

it was reported to Comiskey that some

of the Cubs claimed he had Influenced the postponement in order to allow Walsh to rest and pitch today, he said: 'If there is any complaint like that, Walsh will not pitch the game at all. There was no suoh thought. I knew the players would kick If the crowd was small and wanted to give them the same chance at having a good crowd I would have given myself if all the receipts had been mine. We are going to win this series, but even If we don't I want the players to get everything out of it they are entitled to."

Detroit, Oct. 12. Big Honus Wagner was the ail-important figure in the victory yesterday of the Pirates over the Tigers In the third of the world's series battles. Honus got four hits and stole as many bases, besides driving In several runs and performing miracles at his position. He never looked better than he did

ehanty and Bush were the stars of the local lineup, the former hitting the ball with terrific force and safety. The surprise of the series come when Summers, accounted the most competent of the Tiger pitchers against the Pirates, was knocked out of the game in the first inning. Another decided shock to local fans was when Maddox not only pitched the Pirates to victory, but pitched In winning form. He was looked on as easy for Tiger bats.

East Chicago won its second game of the season Sunday when they defeated the "Thorns" of Roseland by a score of 16 to 6. The game was played in mud as rain fell throughout the game. The "Thorns" put up a stubborn game and scored on East Chicago by a delayed pass, kicking goal after

the touchdown. The ball was in Kast Chicago's possession nearly all the time, but many fumbles marred the game, keeping the teams well towards the middle of the held. Hascall made the fire touchdown for East Chicago on a forward pass by P. MeShane and again scored the second touchdown on an onside kick by McSliane. The third touchdown occurred at the end of the second half, when Doherty ran about thirty-five yards with three or four men hanging on him. for a touchdown. East Chicago's line was like a stone wall.

This is what the Michigan City Dispatch says of the football game Saturday: "One of the most bitterly fought games ever played in this city was seen Saturday afternoon between the teams

representing Hammond and Michigan City high schools. The Hammond aggregation proved to be a bunch of "rag , chewers" and played the "baby act" to ! perfection. After nearly every p!ay j their captain would advance to make ai protest because one of the Michigan j City players had made faces at him. ! But, of course, ( Hammond made no oflf- j side plays; their forward passes were! "it"; and their tripping and tackling ; men without the ball was fine! The I center was offside on two-thirds of the j plays, but as their reteree could not j see very veil, and Krueser, referee for! the locals, was nut "up" on the rules,1

the Hammond team was not penalized for offside play.
