Weather Colder Than Ever
For Third Game of Series
Odds Now Favor Nationals and Betting
Lively—Brown and Altrock May
Work Again.
Is
Chicago, Oct. 11—The White So*
and Cuba were ready today to fight
deaperately for the third game In the
aeries for the championship of the
world. It Is a most Important battle—
almost as Important as was the first.
The teams are glowering at each
other on even terms once more, the
Cubs having won the second game by
a top-heavy score.
That placed them on an equal foot
ing. as far as gamea won are concern
ed. The betting odds have returned to
the former mark, the Cubs being favor
ites again. The odds on Chance and
Ills men are now one to two.
fore Reulbach, that the Men
Cubs believe that they risk little when
they put up 3 to 1 on their pets.
The adherents of the 8ox don't fal
ter. They meet the Cub rooters half
way, with plenty of money.
The theory of Jones that he had
nothing to fear from a slugging team
because of his own good defense wav
.badly shattered. The Cubs’ defense
S is superior to that of the Box and
elr hits were so numerous and clean
that the Sox had no chance what
ever.
The weather today Is colder than
ever, but the sun Is shining nnd It is
hoped that It will warm up by the
time the game starts. There was a
heavy frost last night and a quarter
of an inch of Ice formed In standing
water.
The pitchers today Is another prob
lem. The chances are that Altrock
will again try his hand at the Cubs,
and It would not be surprising It
Brown was sent In again by Manager
Chance.
I.undgren wanted to show what he
could do and Bouthpaw raster was
eager to go in. If Chance decides not
to put Brown In, It Is likely that ras
ter will be given a chance, because the
Box have never been able to do much
against a left hander.

Nationals Take Second Game
Played in Frigid Weather KELLY JABBED
Cubs (Nationals) 7, White 8ox (Amtricans) .. ... ..1.
Chicago, Oct. 11.—Unless the weath-
er moderates suddenly and unexpected
ly the world's championship series of
baseball games will be decided more
by luck than skill, for in the first two
games It has been far too chilly for
baseball.
The game yesterday afternoon, which
was played at the American League
park, was won by the National League
team by a score of 7 to 1. Tho weath
er played more of a part, however,
than the skill of either team. It wua
bitterly cold and neither side hod much
luck In handling the ball. The chillv
weather seemed to have the most effect
on the Americans and they made many
bobbles, most of which were costly.
The pitchers found It Impossible to get
their arms sufficiently warm so that
they could cut looso with their old-
time speed, and White was so badly
handicapped by the weather that he
was forced to drop out of the game
after the third Inning and give pipes
to Owen, who did little better.
Passed balls were not among the bad
features of the game, as they were
In the opener, but bases on balls were
numerous and so were mlsplays.
The result waa not In doubt after
the second Inning, when three runs
were tallied by Charley Murphy’s
Spuds. They piled up another before
White waa relieved nnd then let down
for a couple of Innings. In the sixth
they located Owen for one run and In
the eighth they made two more. The
Americans tallied their only run In the
fifth.
Owing to the wretched weather the
crowd was made up of only the cop-
per-rlvlted fans and the attendance
waB under 10,000.
The funs found It entirely Impossible
lo keep warm and fhe attempts to
keep the blood circulating divided In
terest with the actual playing of the
game.

JOE ROWE, THE ANNISTON FIGHTER,
KNOCKED OUT BY FOY, OF ATLANTA
Spdclal to The Georgian.
Roma, Oa, Oct. 11.—Jack Foy, of Atlanta, defeated Jot Rowe, of An
niston, In tha second round of a echduled twenty-round boxing contest at
Mobley Park last night.
Foy had. youth and speed and forced Rowe all through the first period.
In the first round Rowe knocked Foy against the ropes by a right-
hand awing on the Jaw. Thin only spirited Foy, who came at Roive with
a rush. After boxing two minutes of the second round, Rowe won plain
ly “all ln.<" and dropped to his knees In his own corner.
Referee Peter Maher Immediately stopped the bout and gave the de
cision to Foy.
Neither contestant received a damaging blow. Lieutenant Coots act
ed as time-keeper.
Sewanee Fills Open Date
With Game Against S. W.P.U.
New York, Ort. 11.—One of the rawest
deals ever handed to u boxer was given
Inst night to "Emergency” Kelly, of Boa-
ton, In his bout with Frank J'atil. The
fight was held lb tho heart of the Tender
loin, and was to go twenty rounds at
catch-weights.
About 'two hundred and fifty dyed-ln-the
wool "sports," most of them from tho sun
ny side of Italy* paid 12.50 onch to wit
ness the mill, but did not get n run for
their money.
At the bell, Paul rushed at Kelly nnd
landed what looked like a very'low punch
to*the body.
Paul continued to send In low punches,
and tho spectators howled to him to quit
hts foul tactics, but ho persisted, and nftor
one minute nnd forty-two seconds of fight*
tug, landed a punch on Kelly’s groin which
was plainly foul, and Kelly dropped to the
floor.
The referee counted Kelly out while on
the floor, nnd It looked for n time ns though
n riot would result. Kelly wns examined
by a doctor after the bout, who stated he
had met with n scrims Injury.
JOCKEY HURT
IN BAD FALL
mont park proved entertaining nnd a
large crowd wan out In the afternoon to
nee the ponies run. The races were all
well contested, the track was In good
condition and everything went off
smoothly, with the exception of a bad
fall In the first race. Loula C.. one
of the starters, fell and threw hla jock
ey, Walnrfght. Walnrlght wan rolled
on nnd bndly Injured.
As usual, there was a goodly amount
of hand booking and the layers of dods
were busy enough to Justify the belief
that a new sucker Is bom every minute
and sometimes as many as two to the
minute.

Just Some Football Dope
Mostly About New Rules
The big football ten ms of the East seem
ed to have a hard time scoring under the
new rnlea nt first, hut times have changed.
Look at Wednesday’s scores. When the
plnyera get the new rules Into their heads,
nnd get so they cna handle forward passes
nnd get down under the high kicks, It
ought not to be such a hard matter to run
up scores.
, An ex-Yale captain says that the new
football rules are "murderous." Well, they
mny be that, but, anyway, they make the
game better worth watching. And the
"homicidal" features havo not cropped out
In tho South, as yet.
Football players who have studied the
new rules have found out one thing—that
they learned more about them In ten min
utes of play than they did In a month of
reading.
Pennsylvania’s football squad was crip
pled recently by tho necessity of allow
ing Tnkskl, the only Japanese player In
America, to drop off the team. The atolld
little Jap was suffering with heart trou
ble.
The knockers are having a lovely time
with the 1906 football rules. The believ
ers In the old time knock-nbont slap-atlck
game can't see anything In a coutest which
does not s border continually _on a knock
^ut~reUre«r'puKlUsts i
The fact that the new rules declare thnt
a man la down when (1) he calls "down;"
(2) when he touchea the ground with any
part of his body except his hands or feet;
(3) when he goes ont of bounds, snd (4)
when be Is held so that his progrett Is
stopped, has prevented much of the sense
less "piling up" which has been tho dls*
grsco of so many games In years post. It
used to be that when s man was tackled
i would grab
get on bis
In. Then an*
they would pile on top of the mass of
plnyers. If any men on either team were
not In the mess by then, they would run
nnd Jump, feet foremost, Into the Squirm
ing mass of players. When the pile un
curled, which took s ruinate or two, a
man or two would usnally 1k» laid out and
time woqld be taken out while everybody
took a lltflo rest. It wns "fine" for the
spectators, nnd oven "better", for the play
ers—especially those at the bottom of tho
pile. Under the new rules, when s men
Is stopped the bill Is dowu, and there Is
no need for piling np. And there Is also a
rule which forbids "piling." It says:
"There shall be no piling up on the play
er after the referee has declared the ball
dead." The penalty Is the loss of 15 yards,
and there Is a strong hope that referees,
umpires snd linesmen will see that this
rule Is observed or the penalty Inflicted.
One of the most senseless and unpleasant
features of the old football waa the un
necessary roughness Injected Into this "pil
ing up" buvtness.
Here Is what Georgs Rands, The Boston
American’s football expert, says about the
new game:
"It Is now safe to say that the new foht-
hall rules are a success. They have made
the gamo more open, therefore, more spec
tacular. and people who pay $3 and $5 for
a ticket to see the great games will have
the novel pleasure of actually seeing a good
deni of the ball. Ten thousand attended
the game at Harvard on Saturday, and all
came away with the idea that they had
witnessed the most brilliant football con
test on record. If such a pleasing gsmo
can be played so early In the season by a
big team, think of the possibilities of the
new rules when the coaches have discov
ered all they can do under them."
Here is what Julian Hawthorne, the fa
mous nuthor, writes about football practice
at Yale under the new rules:
"The average of the men on the teams,
however, seemed to me comparatively light.
There were a few heavywelghta-masslve
monsters, built on the old lines, but not
many. Good legs, good wind, quickness,
were more In evidence than heretofore. The
men are more often than formerly • spread

Los Angeles, Oct. 11.—If the. question of
clean breaks can bo settled satisfactorily,
"Philadelphia Jack" O’Brien snd Tommy
Burns will battle for the disputed henry-
weight championship of the world before
the Pacific Athletic Club on ThnnkHKlvlng
night, as Burns has agreed to O'Wrleni
terms for the cut of the $12,000 purse of-
fered by Manager McCarey for tbu bat

McCarey believes that a commission of
local sports can be gotten together to in-
terpret the Marquis of Qneen*berry rules
In regard to the clean break question fn *
way that will be satisfactory to both Burnt
nnd O’Brien.
Abe Attell and Harry Baker, who nrt
to meet before the ^Pacific Athletic < hi!)
October 90, for the featherweight champion-
ship of the world, began training yester
day. Attell will train at Lucky Baldwin's
ranch, at Arcadia, and Baker has arranged
to do his work at the East 8!dc Athletic
Club’s gymnasium.
The Baldwin Racing Association wns for-
maily launched at Arcadia today, and, ac
cording to plans, there will be nu up-to-
date race track at Arcadia within the next
ten months. Tho compauy has Incorporated

" -He's down! Don't pile on top of him!

These extraordinary, and, Indent, hlth

Sewanee, Tenn., Oct. II.—The varsity

of great satisfaction to Coach Quill,
because of the rapid development of

in three days was too much for that
light team.
