CORBETT NOW SUFFERS FROM BASEBALL MANIA PHILADELPHIA, PA., Oct. 16. More progress toward complete recov ery was made yesterday by James J. Corbett than on any other day since he was hurried to the Jefferson hospital with a serious case of appendicitis and operated upon on short notice. The big fellow really seemed to think he was getting enough to eat once more, and had stopped kicking along that line. To his visitors Corbett discussed the world's series to the exclusion of every other subject. When he heard that the Giants had scored a bushel of runs in the opening inning at the Polo grounds, he let out a whoop that was a loud one for a sick man. and when the final score was told to him he expressed a belief that his favorites would win the 'series. BRUSH IS SICK; MISSES GAME H L S _ TEAM WINS NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—President John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, is missing from the fray He is seriously ill at his hotel here, and can not leave his room. His physicians are much worried about his condition. He has never fully recovered from the shock of the automobile accident in which his limousine turned turtle a few weeks ago. He attended the first two world’s series games, but has had to remain away since. His friends are very anx ious about his health. It is probable that he will not be able to attend the National league meeting, in which ease he will be represented by Secretary Joe O’Brien. Shepherd Ch ecks!

HEOSOXDEFEAT MATTY; HI N SERIES Continued From Page One. small end of the Boston batting order at his mercy. “Big Six” is pitching in the form of a half dozen years back and shows no sign of a flicker. No runs, no hits, no errors. SIXTH INNING. Merkle flies to Hoper. Herzog grounds to Wagner and is out to Stahl. Meyers walks, with only one strike in sight. It appears that Bedient isn’t over-anxious to get one square over. Fletcher strikes out. No runs, no hits, no errors. When Hooper comes up the Boston fans try to start a racket, but it is a feeble attempt. Their hearts are brok en and they seem beaten. If they win this game now they will never get over the surprise. The yelling dies as Hoop er grounds a slow one to Merkle and is out at first. Yerkes hits the second ball for a single. Speaker, with two strikes and three balls on him, is walk ed, forcing Yerkes along to second. Lewis forces Speaker at second, Fletch er to Doyle, but Y’erkes makes third without opposition. Then comes a play that looks like a bone but that would have created a series hero and made series history if it had succeeded, for Yerkes tries to steal home on Christy Mathewson. Consider the brazen nerve of it. Os course the attempt fails. As coolly as though he were warming up with Wilbert Robinson, Matty hurls to Meyers and Yerkes is blocked off and touched out. No runs, one hit, no errors. SEVENTH INNING. Mathewson takes two strikes, fouls once and then sneaks a single to cen ter. Devore forces Mathewson at sec ond. Bedient to Wagner. Doyle swings terrifically, after two strikes are on him, and skies to Wagner Devore then shows some more snappy speed. Snod grass grounds to Gardner and is out to Stahl. No runs, one hit, no errors. When Boston's half of the seventh opens up the fans start another dem onstration. They seem to feel that this is the inning, if ever, that they can break through Mathewson’s defense. There are cheers and yelps when Gard ner comes up, but he rewards his sup porters with a fly-out to Snodgrass. This puts it up to Stahl, and Jake sneaks over a Texas leaguer. The ball drops to the ground with Murray, Snod grass and Fletcher all ready to get it and none of them quite under it, for fear of the others. This is about the “steenth” time this has happened this series and shows how wretchedly the Giants play is at times. It is a boob performance proper. Cady flies to Fletcher. Then comes a surprise, for instead of putting Bedient in to bat, Jake Stahl sends in Hendricksen. He gets two strikes and two balls before connecting. Then he smacks one to left for two sacks, scoring Stahl and tieing It up. Maybe there isn’t some noise when this happens. The Boston fans go absolutely stark batty. They whoop, jump, throw up hats, scream, beat one another on the back, embrace, dance and even roll around on the ground. Such a demonstration was never seen here before, the old-time reporters say. 'Wagner is held on the hit and dies there when Hooper flies to Snodgrass. One run, two hits, no errors. EIGHTH INNING. Os course there is no surprise in the press box. or in the park either, when Joe W’ood strolls to the mound for the — T ■ Red Sox. Everybody has believed all the afternoon tha,t Stahl would be un easy until the Smake Kid was in again. He opens righ up with terrific speed and seems to be absc-.utely right again. Murray grounds to Stahl, unassisted. Merkle grounds to Yerkes and is out to Stahl. Herzog, the demon hitter of the series, tears off a single to right. With Meyers up thereis a consulta tion. Apparently they would like to pass him, but they fear that McGraw would slip in McCormick to hit in the pinch or that Mathewson, himself a bad man in a pinch, would put something over, so Wo6d goes ahead on Meyers. That proves the dope, too, for the In dian grounds to Yerkes and is of course out a mile to Stahl. It is a crit ical and a trying inning and the Red Sox showed good nerve. No runs, one hit, no errors. Yerkes grounds the third ball brisk ly. it hits Mathewson’s outstretched hands and caroms off to Herzog, who throws Yerkes out at first. It is a snappy play and well and luckily exe cuted. Speaker grounds to Doyle and is out to Merkle. Lewis retires, Fletcher to Merkle. It is grand pitch ing for the old master. NINTH INNING. In an effort to start the ninth with something interesting. McGraw sends in "Moose” McCormick, but for once the grandest of pinch hitters fails and McCormick flies to Lewis. It is a hard hit ball, but the Sox outfielder handles it neatly. Mathewson, hitting with terrific force, strikes out on the first three balls sent to him. Devore walks. Doyle has a corking chance, but he isn’t there and grounds to Yerkes, re tiring a moment later at first. No runs, no hits, no errors. When the Giants take the field in the lasrt of the ninth Shafer has been put at short for New York in place of Fletcher. Gardner opens up by flying out to Snodgrass. Stahl doubles to center and Red Sox pull a demonstra tion that equals anything yet for sheer noise. The shouting dies away, though, when Wagner flies to Devore. Cady has the chance of a young lifetime but it gets him nothing but a fly-out to Murray, ending the inning. No runs, one hit, no errors. TENTH INNING. There is a silence that fairly echoes when the second extra inning seance starts. Snodgrass lets one go by and then swings, netting only a grounder to Wood. He is out to Stahl. Then comes Red Murray and there is a feel ing that something is about to occur. A ball, a strike, two strikes, anothei ball as Wood wastes one, a foul, an other foul, the third hall. And then, to the horror of Boston fans. Murray doubles to the center field bleachers. There is one soulful whoop from the Giant rooters and then tense, nervous, horrible silence again. Merkle is up. swinging a bat. He likes the first ball pitched, swings, connects and a few seconds later is panting on second, while Murray has scored. Herzog, at tempting valiantly to pile up the lead, hits three times futilely and sits down. Meyers has another of his multitudi nous chances to win fame and score runs with a pinch hit, but he proves the boob again, with a grounder to Wood, who throws the Red Man out to Stahl. One run, two hits, no errors. There is more pent-up excitement on tap when this last half of the tenth starts than ever before was known in a world’s series—or out of it as far as I know. Clyde Engle is put in to bat for Joe Wood and Clyde just naturally delivers, with a tough liner to second. Snodgrass drops the ball and Engle gets safe to second on the foozle. Hooper flies to Snodgrass. Yerkes is walked by Matty, who seems tremen dously worried. Speaker then comes up and for the first time this series shows a little of that old batting stuff that made him famous—with a single that scores Engle and ties up the game. Y’erkes goes to third and Speaker to second on the throw to the plate. Lewis is walked on four pitched balls and the end is in sight, for “Big Six" is skidding. Gardner has all the ad vantage when he comes up. The op posing pitcher is weakening, a man is on third and only one is out. He makes his chance count, too. He lifts the ball to Devore and Yerkes gallops home with the running ruu. Meyers and Herzog Tie For Batting Honors in World's Series Games Herzog and Meyers are tied now for the batting leadership of the world's series Herzog ia still the leading run-getter.

MICH., Oct. 16.—Backed by the new rules, “Hurry-Up" Yost is going to have a big "Meechigan” football year. The old style of play that made the famous Michigan coach and his teams known from one end of the continent to the other is back for good. At least, the exhibitions of the Wolverine football team so far this fall make it seem that way. Michigan has not used any new fangled plays in her two games and it doesn’t look as if it were going to. Further than that, the forward pass is about the only play that has been worked which does not date from way back before the rules were revised tn 1905. Straight football, not open plays, but the old game of hitting the line hard and low. has been the Wolv erine standby so far this season. Two of the touchdowns in the M. A. C... game came by a series of such attacks. CENTRAL LEAGUE SURE TO BE CUT TO 8 CLUBS TERRE HAUTE. IND., Oct. 16.

It is along the northern and eastern lines of the twelve-club circuit of the past sea son. dropping Wheeling and Zanesville in the southeast territory and Terre Haute in the southwest. Akron, though in a desirable location as to Youngs town, Canton and Erie, is to be aban doned by the Columbus owners, from all accounts.
