PHILADELPHIA FANS HOT FORJNVJtOERS Connie's Team Unpopular With Home Bugs, Who Want Braves to Win. BY FRANK MENKE. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. The sun came out brightly at 10:15 a. m. assurTing another perfect day for the sec ond game between the Boston Braves and the Philadelphia Athletics. In this the home town of the Athletics, there is today a general feeling of satisfaction almost pleasure over the beating the Athletics got yesterday. The majority of fans, with the exception of those who have bets at Ftake, are hoping that the Braves can repeat today and ultimately win the series. The Athletics are not popular here. The fans soured on them long ago, because they got the idea that they were the collection of real ballplayers on earth. They got the notion that they were invincible, and, as one veteran fan put it today: "It's about time they had the conceit knocked out of them." The Athletics, prior to yesterday's game, looked upon the Braves as fluke champions and as a joke ball club. But it is different today. The crushing defeat of yesterday has tended to bring the Athletics back to earth, and it is certain that from today on the series will develop into one of the most bitterly contested in baseball history. HAGERSTOWN WOMAN DIES AT GRENSBURG HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Oct. 10 Word was received here yesterday of the death of Mrs. William Davis at her home at Greensburg.

FIRE GUTS F HALL AUOLUMBIA $1,000,000 Building Destroyed in Early Blaze on University Campus. BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK, Oct. 10. The famous University Hall at Columbia University was destroyed by fire early today with a loss estimated by Fire Chief Kenton at $1,000,000. The building was a two-story structure housing the gym, the Columbia Spectator, the College paper, the Eating Commons, the swimming pool and the college power plant. The fire for a time imperiled the entire group of university buildings, but was confined by great efforts to the one building. Five alarms summoned all available apparatus to the scene and the firemen were aided as far as possible by two thousand students, many of them scantily attired, who rushed from their dormitories and saved many of the trophies and much of the college property in the burning building. It was in this structure that President Nicholas Murray Butler was installed in 1905. He was among the spectators who saw it destroyed. Starts in Kitchen. The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen of the eating Commons. It was discovered by students returning from a smoker. When the firemen got through the blocked gates they found that only two hydrants were available on the campus. As a result most of the hose had to be. attached to hydrants several blocks awray from the fire. Several students - had narrow escapes from death. Frank McCarthy, stroke on the college crew, was overcome with smoke trying to drag a trophy from the gym. A number of students wtio carried out a grand piano dropped with exhaustion as soon as they had completed their task. ICELAND SHIPS BY LEASED WIRE-1 CHICAGO, Oct. 10.
