FIGHTER GIVES A GREAT EXHIBITION

Philadelphia, Oct. 11. Limping along from 'way behind, the sadly crippled New York Giants made the fourth grame of the world's series close yester

day afternoon but that's all they Just made it close. The final score was 6 to 6 in favor of the smashing combination of brain and brawn they call the Philadelphia Athletics, and the Giants had to toil painfully up from a six-run disadvantage to draw the finish that fine. A fly that poor Fred Snodgrass could not quite reach, because injury had stripped him of his speed; a foul that Fred Merkle, practically lame, could not handle these were incidents in the third triumph of the mighty Mackmtn

in the series that is now drawing to a t

close; incidents that were responsible for the one run that the slugging Phlladelphi&ns needed to tide them over in the time of a bitter onslaught of the Giants against Albert Bender, the veteran Indian. The years he has put behind him in the big league were a heavy load upon the shoulders of the lean Chippewa as he faced the charge of the big town boys In those final innings, and even while he fought them with craft it was . apparent that he was going and going fast. Another inning but this is not the story of the might-have-beens. He won, and that is the baseball answer.

S A.

Giving a fast and wonderful exhibition of cleverness and self-defense, Tommy Tague, the Hammond lightweight, distinguished himself before the eyes of a large gathering of Lake county fans last night by defeating Joe Homeland of Chicago byva big margin at the Pioneer Athletft; clubroom at Gary. From the moment the men shook hands to the last tap of the gong in the tenth round, Tommy went to the front, and there was not a round during the contest that he did not win or draw. Homeland was so thoroughly battered at the end that not a protesting voice could be. heard from his many Chicago followers when the referee raised Tague's arm and proclaimed

him the winner. Tommy administered

hree wallops to every one his com

petitor managed to put over. As

Going to extremes in all things

rampant, the aspiring Cubs crushed the

White Sox into humiliating defeat yes

terday in the third game for the city

championship at the west side park

The score was 8 to 0. It was more than

a victory; it was a landslide.

Jim Scott, the sturdy curve ball artist of the south side team, was on

the slab, and apparently in the best of form, but he took the worst licking of the season when in the sixth and

seventh rounds the Cubs went into tantrums of athletic prowess and whaled the ball all over the lot. On the slab for the Trojan army was

Bert Humphries, the meekest man in the national game, so far as is known. Nearly 18,000 persons were gathered together for the afternoon of sport and it looked as if Mr. Humphries was the only one who didn't experience a thrill. Humphries stood out on the rubber and heaved deadly curves and fast balls over the plate with his deceptive side arm delivery, and did It with the same grim steadfastness that he

would shovel coal. In the interims of retiring his victims, Bert would mop his perspiring brow and stretch his

aching limbs, and one got the impres

sion that to him shoveling coal would

be more interesting than hurling a

baseball for the delight of enraptured

thousands.

In the entire game the Sox got only four base hits off the side arm stuff. One was a clean smash inside of first base for a double.' The other three were on the scratch order. Not a south slder got beyond second base, and six of them fanned. Jim Scott hurled with the accuracy and precision of a machine for the first five innings. It looked as if the

throng of rooters was to be treated to a duel between pitchers, and the team that could get the lucky break and score one run would be victor in the battle. But in the fifth inning two or three balls that were hit off Scott foretold of danger. He wavered a bit in control, also, hitting Humphries with a pitched ball, when there were two out and a

and when he reached the grounds he looked for some one to buy them at

"Germany" as a ticket speculator, and despite the player's protestations, summoned the wagon and sent him to a station house. When Schaefer got there he explained the sitautlon and was released. "Germany" got back to Shibe park in time to see the Athletics score their first run.

hand jabs of Tommy had its effect on Homeland's face and he was bleeding

from the nose and mouth and had a badly discolored eye.

Tague's exhibition of last night

demonstrates the fact that he has im

proved greatly since his recent battle. The fact that Homeland has fought Marty McCue gives Tommy great credit and will help him in securing future bouts. Shortly before the preliminaries the clubroom was well filled and the behavior of the crowd was praised by Chief of Police Martin. Not a disturbance marked the events of the evening. In the preliminaries Art Stewart of Hammond used Bobby Gray, the Gary tar baby, for a punching bag for four rounds, and the negro, eager to get out of the affray, made a claim of dislocating his thumb. Kid Fields had Young Bentley in a bad way in the third round and he quit.

FREAK BETS MADE

4)fl NELSON FIGHT

Milwaukee Fans Show Much

Interest in Monday's Clash.

PLAYERS TO SPLIT $135,164 Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 11. The fifty players eligible for the world's series will cut a $135,163.89 melon. Testerday's game was the last in which the players participate in the receipts. Of the $135,163.89 the winners will receive 60 per cent and the losers 4d per cent. Each player on the winning team receives $3,244 and each member of the losing team $2,162.

There is nothing strange in the fact

that many freak bets are made on

baseball games, but It isn't usual for

fans to make such wagers on a boxing

match. The Nelson-Wolgast match,

booked for Milwaukee Monday night

is a battle which carries with it various wagers, these being promtnent in the

city where the match Is to be staged

Wagers are being made as follows

That if a knockout ends the battle

Nelson will be the winner; first blood will be brought from Nelson; that Wolgast will be doing the backing up, with Nelson forcing the fighting; that the last five rounds will be in Nelson's

favor; that Nelson -will score the first knockdown; that the fight won't end

before the sixth round.

The odds vary on these wagers from

even money to 5 to 1. Matchmaker

Ben Steimel sends word that sentiment is playing a big part In this match, and that fans who rarely frequent battles will be at the ringside to see the

two ex-champlons clash. Posters that adorn the billboards when each was champion are being used for the mill, with the wording across the top, "They meet again."

Nelson will wind up his - work tomorrow. He is back at Nate Lewis' gym. Arrangements have been made to carry a diner on the special train and meals will be served going and coming. The train will leave the Northwestern depot at 6:30.

"LEAK" AT POLO GROUNDS

New York, Oct. 11. Richard J. Donovan, a ticket seller at the Polo grounds, was held in $500 bail for trial yesterday after his arraignment on a charge of disposing of 100 unreserved world's series tickets to a speculator. Technically he is charged with violating the state anti-tipping law in that it is alleged he received a $100 bonus. Harry Hempstead, president of the New York National league baseball club, appeared as complainant. "I think that in the person of Donovan," said Hempstead, "we have found the leak by which admission tickets to the world's series games got into the hands of speclators. I am sure that the public will exonerate the New York club when they have become familiar with the facta In the case."

The annual clash between North

western and Purdue in the west and

the games between Yale and Lafayette and Cornell and the Carlisle Indiana

In the east will hold the attention of

football fans today.

The struggle between the Methodists

and Boilermakers will be staged at La fayette, and the loser will be ellmi

natea from the conference race. Both teams have been developed to high

points of football perfection for this

battle, which should be evenly fought.

Northwestern is stronger than a year

ago, and the same Is true of Purdue

New coaches are at the head of the gridiron situation at both institutions, and the work of their charges will be interesting to watch. Illinois will meet a worthy opponent

in Missouri at Urbana. For years Missouri has been rated as one of the leading elevens west of the Mississippi river, and this year's team Is said to be the strongest developed at Columbia in the last five years. The Orange and

Blue aggregation will be tested to the limits of its strength, but the result will not have any bearing on the "Big Nine" situation.

Wisconsin should have an easy time

winning from Marquette at Madison. Cornell will give Iowa a battle for part of the game at least, and Ohio State

should win by a comfortable margin over Western Reserve at Columbus. Chicago, Minnesota and Indiana, the re

maining conference elevens, have no games scheduled. The day will be de

voted to long scrimmage drills In preparation fo rlmportant games next Saturday.
