PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9~The ter- 1
rific bloodless battle for the posses
sion of the world's championship Was
renewe here to-day despite the '\4l
treme frigidity of the weathel! |
Field Marshal Bill von Carrigal i
veteran hero of the American League |
campaign, undaunted by the repuise
of s Re Hose warriors yesterday,
rallied his force armed them with a
new feeling of confidence and de
termination and led them iln .-nuliv-n‘
sttack on the intrenched forces of
General Moran's army |
Early in the battle von Carrigan
moved in‘o position his big fleld guns
Speaker, Houp Lewis and Hob- |
litzel —clLarged them with rebukes for |
vesterday's failure to smash the Phil- |
lies' def.nses and made early threats
that his big guns would batter away
to victory before sunset to-night |
Moran, whose 4Z-centimeter gun“
Cactus Cravath, seemed to be out of
batting order yesterday, oiled up the
machine just before the conflict and
loaded it with orders to batter down
the fences. |
Silent About Bombers. |
Both commanders, however, were
secretive concerning their choice for
the bomb hurling jobs
Von Carrigan, according to early
reports, was in doubt between
“Dutch” Leonard, a left-hander, and
George Foster, who hurls starboard
side bombs.
Moran also was in a quandary, not
knowing early in the day W hether to
choose Eppa Jeptha Rixey, Jr., known
as the *“human hatpin,” who flings
left-handed bombs, or George Chal
mers, whose right-handed bomb
heaving has created congiderable
havoc in the ranks of the other Phillie
enemies.
Just before the battle began Gen
eral Moran said:
“Those there Boston birds they
gotta lot of nerve, ain't they? The
very idea of them invading our ter
ritory. We showed 'em yvesterday just
how we feel about their stunt of
trampling on our sacred soil. We
threw 'em back, didn’'t we? Well, if
thig artillery of mine does its usual
work we'll throw 'em back still fur
ther hefore night. Then we'll chase
lem right into Massachusetts and do
our darndest to give ‘em two decisive
beatings there so as to stop them from
annoying us Pe nnsylvanians further
by their obnoxious presence.’”
Carrigan Says, “Phooie.”
Field Marshal von Carrigan, learn
ing of the above remarks through an
interpreter, remarked:
“Phooie, phooie. Our defeat yester
day was a mere nothing. We will
even up things before to-night, then,
for pational commission reasons we'll
retreat to our own _country. Wwe'll
battle the enemy there twice—and
beat them twice—and then we'll drive
them back here and give them the
final beating right on their own soil.”

Those Quakers, Rummy
Writes to Reno Ruth
|
——————————— |
By TAD.
THE UNCONSCIOUS CITY, October 9.—Dear Ruth: 1 owe you the
box of candy. | picked the loser, but I won't squawk. I'm not hollering.
Get me? But of the lucky guys that ever lived the Phillies are the
champlons. Mr. Alexander wins the barrel of flour, and (walt a minute,
the sweeper has the broom under my chair now. 1 gotta take the gate.
Funny they never think of sweeping until a guy sits down to scamper
across the parchment).
I'm not yelping or anything like that, Ruth, but if that big Hoblitzel
didn't spill the beans in the first inning by going to sleep at first base we'd
have scored. And listen. No squawk, get me? But if the Phillies haven't
got more horseshoes and rabbits’ feet around them than Carter has pills,
I'm dafty
Shore, the Sox pitcher, went to field a bunt and flopped in the mud.
More luck! Jack Barry made a pipp of a stop of a drive back of second
and turned to throw it to second to double a Quaker up, but Scott was
piping off a jane in the stands and forgot to cover the sack. Ain't it rich?
| Again, in hte eighth, Gardner comes up with a man on second, belts
'nn- pill right on the nose, and on the level, it looks like the works. Paskert,
that long, skinny wolf, tears after it, and we don’t think he's gonna get
there. And if he don't get it on the end of his glove, I'll eat your hat
Aln't it rich?
| All the breaks went to the Phillles. The only luck the Beaneaters bad
was to get away in time for the eats.
That guy Alexander wasn't the asphyxiating gas. He's warm smoke,
‘but not the deadly inhale at all. Why, the Sox pounded him for eight clean
wallops, healthy ones, too, and got two passes. Big Skinny Shore, on the
}mher hand. held the Quakers to five sickly singles. You couldn’t even call
!(hem sitgles, on the level. They counted, but would never pass the offi.
clals as healthy children. 3
I'm going up to Boston Sunday night. Remember, Chick, you owe me
a box of cigars for every game the Sox win. Get the old can of buffalo
nickels out from under the floor, because you're gonna buy me pills. The
Sox are the claws, bull-leave me.
; Yours till pints are 10 again,

Sidelights Flashed
On Second Game
By L. V. B. RUCKER. l
(Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.)
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.—“Mud
hens—that is what I call them,” said
“Smoky Joe" Wood, the Boston Red
Sox pitcher, commenting on the vic
tory of the Phillies in the initial game
of the world series, “That ground
was in awful condition, and the Phil
lies seemed fairly to revel in that
mud and sawdust. But the Red Sox
are not the least bit discouraged, and
I believe we will yet show them that
we are the better team.”
- - .
President Wilson, while in Phila
delphia to-day, will have opportunity
to show whether he has the courage
of his convictions. The ‘“Votes for
Women” organization here has invited
the President and his flancee, Mrs.
Norman Galt, to ride to the second
game in a suffrage automobile. Mr.
Wilson recently expressed himself in
favor of woman suffrage, and the
Philadelphia women wanted to see if
he meant it. Also the automobile of
for had the effect of showing the hand
of the future first lady. Mrs. Galt, so
far as known to the public, has not
taken any stand on granting the bal
lot to women,
L - .
Philly fans offered 7 to 5 to-day
that the Quaker town outfit would
win the series, and there was no mad
scramble to accept the offers.
‘.. . ‘
i Overcoats were in ordel\ to-day, and
the shivering fans longed again ‘for‘
the welcome warmth of the gasoline
‘that was burned over the side lines
vesterday. But there was no need
for artificial drying to-day. The =un
rose clear and bright, giving promise
of a cloudless day. There was a cold
wind blowing, and it was more ideal
for football than baseball.
. - -
Thousands of fans arrived in town
to-day from nearby and other points
and grappled with the ticket specula.
tors in their efforts to obtain seats
for a few dollars less than a million
aire's ransom.
The “specs,” who were walloped
yvesterday by being “stuck” with aboat
300 tickets, were out to ‘‘recoup their
losses,” and they figured the big
crowd of ticketless fans would be
easy prey.
. - -
«Somebody’s got to win the first
game,” said Tris Speaker, center
fielder of the Red ‘Sox, sententiously,
“put winning the first game is not

thing has only started.” ‘
. . -
Perhaps the most modest man
among the victorious Phillies was |
Grover (leveland Alexander. Atter‘
the game he scurried to his hotel anil
remained in his room all evening, de
clining the importunities of the thou
sands of hysterical fans who wouid
have lionized him.,

Connie Mack is rooting for the Red
Sox.
“Why?" somebody asked Connle.
“Because,” he replied, “they are an
American League team, and 1 am for
the American League first, last =nd
all the time.”
- - -
Philadelphia hotels were Jammed‘
last night as perhaps never before.}
not even in time of politcal conven
tions. The “S. R. 0O."” sign, ngur.\-‘
tively, was displayed at all the big
hotels, and scores of other out-of
town fans had to seek the lesser
caravanseries and boarding houses. ‘
- - * ‘
Again this morning the streets sur.
rounding the Phillies’ park resembled
the trenches. Because the weather
was clear, though cold, hundreds
more bleacherites dug themselves in
for the night than camped out the
night before. They were making sure
of obtaining a dollar seat when the
gates were opened at 11 o'clock.

The Injured passengers were on
the express train No passengers on
the local train were hurt The in
jured were orought to Lynchburg
The Southern Is double tracked
from here to Charlottesvilie with the
exception of a short gup of single
track near Arrington It was on th .|
gingle track that the trains met The
local was under orders, according to
officials, to take a siding on this .'-l["
to permit the express to pass \
Both trains were sald to have been
running slowly when they met It l-‘;
to this fact that the road officials .n-i
tribute the small loss of life 1
The local oifices of the Southe rni
said that it had received meager word |
of the collision, and also the m;n-n‘
that several passengers and mem
bers of the train crews had been se
riously hurt.” ‘
Wrecking trains were sent from
Monroe, while doctors were rushed to
the scene from Lynchburg and Ar
rington, Va. |
The New York-New Orleans Lim- |
ited is the Southern’'s finest train, and
always is loaded with through pas-i
sengers. It generally carries many
Atlanta people to Washington and
New York.
No. 38, the New York-New Orleans
Limited, left Atlanta Friday evening
at 5 o'clock, that being more than four
hours late out of this city, owing to
the fact that it has had to take a
roundabout route between New Or
leans and Atlanta since the Gulf
storm.,
According to the local ticket offices
of the Southern, there were no At
lantans on the wrecked train. It was
said that, owing to the fact that No.
38 was so late, the Atlanta parties
leaving for the East went on the Bir
mingham Special, which departed for
Washington at 3:25 o'clock.

CINCINNATI, Oct 9.-—Not less
than s£loo,ooo, probably more, was the
amount of loot obtained by the ban
dits who held up Baltimore and Ohio
train No. 1 at Central Station, w. Va.,
vesterda)
This was the opinion expressed by
postal officials in Cincinnati to-day
after they had received official re
port from the clerk in charge, Halnes
Huff, and the other two mall clerks
who were held at bay while the ban
dits made their escape with 93 regis
tered packages containing money
shipped from the United States Treas
ury at Washington,
From statements made by the three
postal clerks to Superintendent
Clark, of the fifth division of the Rail
-I\\':;)’ Mall Service, and particularly
from complete reports made by the
acting Inspector in charge, Morgan
Briswold, of the Clincinnati division of
the Postoffice Inspection Service,
there are strong.indications that the
members of the robber band, or some
of them, were in or closely connected
with the mail service of the Treasury
Department
. The registered packages taken were
‘frum three pouches, which had just
’lwan emptied upon a work table by
Clerk Huff.
Huff told Inspector Griswold it was
his recollection that the majority of
the packages contained in the three
pouches wree sent from the office of
the Comptroller of the Currency. In-
Fqulry at the local United States Sub-
Treasury disclosed the fact that all
Imnneys gent out from the Comp
troller's office are national bank notes,
which are not negotiable without the
signatures of the officials of the bank
to which they are consigned.
National bank notes sent to banks
tq be issued are technically known as
“unsigned currency,” but it is stated
that these bills are easily made nego
tiable by the forging of signatures of
the bank officlals

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—While Mre
Edith Bolling Galt, flances of Presi
dent Wilson, was breakfasting with
her mother at the St. Regis Hotel to
day there arrived for her a great
bouquet of American Beauty roses
They were the gift of the President
The flowers were taken to the suite
occupied by Mrs. Galt and her moth
er. The President’s flancee expressed
her pleasure over the gift. President
Wilson spent the night at the home of
Colonel E M. House, while secret
service men patrolled the neighbor
hood and kept a close watch to see
that no suspicious characters invaded
the district,
A ‘busy morning was in prospect
for the President and his bride-to-be
before the departure for Philadelphia
to see the second game between the
Red Sox and Phillles. Arrangements
‘were male for another automobile
ride, and I} was also expected that
loou: the Pretident ‘and Mrs. Gait
would do some shopping
| Presiflent Wilson arrived at the St
}huu with Colonel House shortly
after 9 o'clock. The nation's execu
tive was smiling broadly as he on‘
tered the elevator and was taken loj
the suite of his future wife
““'he President is very happy,’ -mdl
Colene! House, as he stopped for a
moment's chat with the ncwnplp'rl
men “He appreciates the welcome
given by New York to Mrs. Galt. He
says the ovation received here is all
for his future bride.”
New Yorkers were given another
opportunity to see the President and
his future wife when they motored for
an hour with Mrs. Bolling, Mrs. Galt's
mother. All three were smiling and
happy.
The motor ride started shortly aft
er the President reached the St. Re
gls. Mrs. Galt wore a blue l.dlorod:
suit and a black hat that seemed to
accentuate her fresh beauty and the'
jet blackness of her hair. 1
A photographer ran out before the
machine just as Mrs. Galt was seated
and President Wilson delayed the
start until several snapshots had been 1
made. Mrs. Galt smiled as theé cnm-‘
era clicked and President \Vflson‘
leaned over and laughingly asked the
photographer: ‘
“Did you get a good one?” |
“Fine,” cried the photographer, and
Mrs. Galt laughed as the car sped
away. |
Three hundred men and women
gathered outside the hotel before the
betrothed pair appeared. As the au
tomobile dashed away the crowd
cheered. President Wilson responded
by lifting his hat and Mrs. Galt waved
her hand gayly.
