Philadelphia. Pa., Oct. 17. The sec
ond clash of the wonderful world's se
ries of 1911 was played yesterday at
Shibe park between the famed New
York Giants and the Athletics, and it resulted in a victory for the American league champions over the National leaguers by a score of 3 to 1. The pitchers were "Rube" Marquard for the Giants and Plank for the Athletics, Meyers and Thomas were the receivers.
The second and crucial test was call
ed before a crowd which packed Shibe
park and overllowed on the field. Every one in attendance breathlessly watched every little play, waiting for a break
to come so he could figure on the ad
vantage gained by the clubs. It was, as In Saturday's, game, the Athletics
who sent the first runner across the plate. The Giants Immediately evened up th score, and with Plank and Marquard pitching wonderful ball everyone settled down.
It was Marquard's ill luck to fall a
victim to Collins and Baker, the two
wonderful batsmen of the Athletics

Chicago and Illinois, old-time football rivals, will clash at Marshall field on Saturday in a contest which practically will' eliminate the loser from the western conference race. As the downstaters had equa claim with Minnesota for the championship last season, nothing will be left undone by the coaches at Urbana to have the eleven in the best possible condition for a victory, so the team can meet Minnesota with a clean slate on Nov. 25. In former years Chicago and Illinois have played many interesting contests, and the 'fighting spirit of the orange and blue eleven, even when being hopelessly beaten, has been admired by every true lover of football. Illinois won last year, 3 to l. its first victory In years over Stagg's elevens, and a repe-

Walter Thorpe, captain of the Engle-
wood high school evelen of the Cook County High School Football league, will be out of the game for at least two and probably three weeks as the result of an accident in last Saturday's game against the Englewood Maroons at Normal park. Near the close of the contest Thorpe while being tackled fell upon a piece of glass, butting through his right hand to the bone and severing an artery. r Blood flowed freely, and seeing that It could not be stopped, he -was rushed to the Englewood hospital, where the necessary attention was given the injured member The blow will be a hard one for the former champions, as Englewood plays its first league contest against the strong Lane team on Saturday. The latter eleven 13 regard
ed among the strongest in the league and Englewood was desirous of securing the best team to combat the north stders. During the absence of Thorpe, Deutsch, the plunging fuV! back, will act in his place. The loss of Thorpe is the second suffered by Englewood this year, as Bachman, who was chosen
captain last year, was declared lneligl
