Work Again.
Is
Chicago, Oct 11.—The White Sox
and Cubs were ready today to fight
desperately for the third game in thf
series for the championship of the
world. It is a most important battle—
almost ns 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 games won are concern
ed. The betting odds have returned tu
the former mark, the Cubs “being favor
ites again. The odds on Chance and
his men are now one to two.
They hit the ball so hard yesterday
while the Sox were utterly helpless be
fore Reulbach. that the friends of tho
Cubs believe that they risk little when
they put up 2 to 1 on their pets.
The adherents of the Sox don't fal
ter. They meet the Cub rooters half
way, with plenty of money.
The theory of Jonea that he had
nothing to fear from a slugging team
because of his own good defense was
badly shattered. The Cubs' defense
was superior to that of the Box and
their hits were so numerous and clean
that the Sox had no chance what-
ere r.
The weather today Is colder than
ever, but the sun Is shining and 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.
Tho pitchers today is another prob<
lem. The chances are that Altrock
wilt again try his hand ac the Cubs,
and It would not be surprising
Brown was sent In again by Manager
Chance.
Lundgren \yanted to show' what he
could do and Southpaw* pfister was
eager to go in. If Chance decides not
to put Brown In, it Is likely that Pfis
ter will bo given a chance, because the
S<»x have npver been able to do much
against a left hander.

Nationals Take Second Game
Played in Frigid Weather KFIIY JABBED
Cuba* (Nationals) 7. White Sox (Americans) 1.
Chicago, Oct. 11.—Unless tl\e weath-
•r moderates euddenly and unexpected
ly the world's championship series of
•baseball tames will be decided more
by luck than skill, (or In the first two
games It has been far too chilly (or
baseball.
The game yesterday' afternoon, which
was played at tho 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 o( either team. It was
bitterly cold and neither side had much
luck In handling the ball. The chilly
weather seemed to have the most effect
on the Americans and they made man}
bobbles, most of which were costly
The pitchers found It Impossible to got
their arms sufficiently warm so thol
they could cut loose with their old-
time speed, and White was so badly
handicapped by the weather that hs
waa forced to drop out of the game
after the third Inning and give place
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 wero
numerous and so were mlsplays.
The result was not In doubt after
the second Inning, when three runs
were tallied by Charley Murphy's
Spuds. They piled up another betort
White waa relieved and 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-
por-rlvlted fans and the attendancr
was under 10,000.
Tho fans found It entirely impossible
to keep warm and the 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
Special to The Georgian.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 11.—Jack Foy, of Atlanta, defeated Joe Rowe, of An
niston, In the second round of a achduled twenty-round boxing contest at
Mobley Park last night.
Foy had, youth and speed and forced Rowe nil through the first period.
In the first round Rowe knocked Foy against the ropes by a right-
hand swing on the Jaw. This only spirited Foy, who came at Rowe with
a rush. After boxing two minutes of the second round, Rowe was plain
ly "all ln,(" and dropped to his kntes 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 os time-keeper.
Sewanee Fills Open Date
With Game Against S. W.P.U.
New York, Oct. 11.—One of the rawest
deals ever handed to a boxer was given
lost night to "Emergency’* Kelly, of Dos*
ton, In his bout with Frank Paul. Tho
fight was held in the 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 the sun
ny aide of Italy, paid $2.50 each to wit
ness the mill, but did not get a run for
their money.
At the bell, Paul rushed at Kelly nnd
landed what looked ilka a very low punch
to tho body.
Paul continued to send In low punches,
and the spectators howled to him to quit
bis foul tactics, hut he persisted, and nfter
one minute nnd forty-two seconds of fight
ing, landed a punch on Kelly's groin which
was plainly foul, and Kelly dropped to tho
floor.
The referee counted Kelly out while on
the floor, nnd it looked for a time aa though
a riot would result. Kelly was examined
by n doctor, nfter the bout, who stated ho
had met with n serious Injury.
JOCKEY HURT

The opening day of racing at' Plod-
mnnt park proved entertaining and a
large crowd was out In the afternoon to
see the ponies run. The rneee were all
well contested, the track was In good
condition and everything wdnt off
smoothly, with the exception of a bad
fall In the first race. Louie C„ one
of the starters, fell nnd threw hla Jock

As usual, there waa n goodly amount
of hand hooking and the layers of doda

Just Some Football Dope
Mostly About New Rules
The big football tennis of the Enat seem
ed to have a hard time scoring umler the
new rules at first, but time* have changed.
Look at Wednesday's scores. When the
players get the new rules into their hends,
nnd get ao they enn handle forward passes
nnd get down under the high kicks, It
ought not to tie such a hard matter to run
up scores.
An ex-Yale captain aaya that the new
football rules are "murderous." Well, they
may be that, but, anyway, they make the
game better worth watching. And the
"homicidal" feature* have not cropped out
In the South, aa yet.
Football playera 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.
Penniylvanla's football squad ,was crip
pled recently by the necessity of allow
ing Takakt, the ouly Japanese player In
America, to drop off the team. The stolid
little Jap woo suffering with heart trou
ble.
The knockers are having a lovely time
with the 1906 football rule*. The believ
er* In the old time knock-nhoiit *lap-ntlck
same can't *ee anything Iu a contest which
does not border continually on a knock
down nnd drag-out ” ““
C resent article la pri
ut retired pugilists i
The fact that the new rule* declare that
a man Is down when (1) he ealta "down;"
(2) when he touches the ground with any
part of his body except his hand* or feet;
43) when he goes out of bounds, and (4)
when he I* held so that his progress is
stopped, tins prevented much of the sense
less "piling up" n’bleh has been the dis
grace of So many games In years past. It
used to lie that when a raun wan tackled
three or four of his opponents would grab
him. Two of them would get ou hla
back nnd stick their knees In. «flu*n an
other player would get h g4iod ran, dive
f4>rw*rd nnd hit the umn with the ball In
the side of hi* neck. Then the other side
would rush eight or ten men forward and
they would pllo on top of the mass of
players. If any men on either team were
not in tho mess by then, they would
and Jump, feet foremost. Into the squirm*
Ing mass of players. When the pllo un
curled, which took a minute or two, a
man or two would usually be laid out and
time would be taken out while everybody
took a little rest. It was "fine" for the
spectators, nfid even "bettor” for the play
ers—especially those at tho bottom of the
pile. Under the new rules, when a mau
Is stopped the ball la down, and there la
no need for piling up. And there Is also a
rule which forbids "piling." It aaya:
“There shall be no piling up on the play
er after the referee baa declared the ball
dead." The.penalty M the loss of 15 yards,
and there is a strong hope that referees,
umpires and linesmen will see that this
role la observed or the penalty Inflicted.
One of the most senseless and unpleasant
features of the- old football was the un
necessary roughness lujected Into this "pil
ing up" baslnoss.
Here is what George Sands, The Boston
American's ’football expert, says about the
new game:
'It Is now safe to say that the new foot
ball roles are a success. They have made
the game 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 n good
den! of the ball. Ten thousand attended
the game at Harvard on 8nturday, and all
came sway with the Idea that they bad
witnessed the most brilliant football con
test on record. If such a pleasing gome
can lie played ao early In the season by a
big team, think of the podxlblllties of the
new rules when the conches have discov
ered oil they can do under them."
Here Is wffnt Julian Hawthorne, the fa
mous author, writes about football practice
at Yale umler the new rules:.
•The average of the men on the teams,
however, seemed to me comparatively light.
There were n few heavyweights—massive
