Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Pa.—The
Athletics for the second consecutive
year are champions of the world. By
decisively defeating the Giants Thurs
day afternoon, outplaying them at
every stage of the game, the Mack
men proved their superiority and are
heroes in the Quaker city this after
noon. At no part of the contest, save
i n the first two innings, did the
Giants have a showing, and the Ath
letics seemed bent on revenge for
their trouncing of Wednesday.
Shibe Park, Philadelphia.—Fine
' ' weather greeted the Athletics and the
New York Giants for the sixth game
in the series for the‘championship of
the world. The series stands 3 to 2
in favor of Philadelphia. The Ath
lets, stung by the defeat of yester
day when they expected to get their
fourth victory and the series, expect
, pu to play a. do or die game today,.
-Bwhile New York, fired up by the win,
will play to the limit to prevent the
Philadelphia team from ending the
this afternoon.
‘ /file the two teams were taking
their preliminary practice Ames was
• the only pitcher warming up for New
York, while both Bender and Plank
were warming up for the Athletics.
Connolly took his place behind the
home plate.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Having failed to
bring home the world’s championship
yesterday the Philadelphia Athletic?
will try to win the necessary fourth
game from the fighting New York
Giants at Shibe Park this afternoon.
The Giants have taken on a new lease
of life and are determined to make
the stiffest kind of a battle to even
up t.h- series and then fight It out
for the seventh game in New York
tomorrow.
The Athletics are grievously disap
pointed in their failure to hold the
struggling Giants yesterday as they
did not expect the New Yorkers to
come back at them with the game
ntss in which they did and especially
with Coombs pitching.
“Eddie” Plank
Jt is probable that Manager Connie
Mack will send in “Eddie” Plank, his
reliable left handed pitcher to stop
tile Giants batting streak. Plank
pitched a masterly game at Shibe
Park last week. He went into yester
day's game on the Polo Grounds at
a critical period of the tenth inning
without having been thoroughly
warmed up. Manager McGraw is ex
pected to choose either Ames or Cran
dall in his effort to keep Philadel
phians out of the championship. Both
pitchers twirled excellent hall yester
ASK DISSOLUTION OF STEEL
Washington.—A petition asking for the dissolution of the U. S. Steel
Corporation and some of its subsidiary companies was filed In the U, 8.
Court in Trenton, N. J., today. Th a petition was prepared by J. M. Dick
inson, former secretary of war. who had been retained by the govern
ment as its special counsel In this case.
DECEMBER SEVENTH PROBABLE
DATE OF THE STATE PRIMARY
Atlanta. Ga.—After practically agreeing upon Thursday, Tree. 7th, as
the date for the primary, the state executive commirtoe adjourned at
1.30 until 3 o’clock thi3 afternoon when the rules will be adopted. The
county unit plan will probably he adopted, eliminating the objectionable
convention plan.
The contest of the Bibb county executive committee was amicably
/idjusted. •
{ Ex-Governor Brown submitted resolutions asking that the prohibition
question be submitted to the people at the coming primary as an inde
pendent issue.
A resolution by P. A Stovall of Savannah and Cecil Nlll of Colum
bus asked that the epople be given an opportunity to express their
choice at the primary for the presidential nomination. None of the res
olutions yet have been acted upon.
The candidates for governor were assessed one hundred dollars each
and commissioner of labor seventy-five dollars as entrance fee and to pay
additWnal cost of printing.
County executive committees are asking to provide way for paying
expenses of Primary.
day and Crandall did much to bring
victory to the Giants by the good use
of his bat. The experts do not be
lieve that McGraw will send Mathew
son or Marquard into the box as each
was practically driven from the hurl
ing mound in their last times out.
The weather early today was hazy
but the sun could be discerned be
hind the veil and it is expected to
burn up the fog before 10 o'clock. The
temperature is about right for the
game.
Delayed Sal®.
Awaiting the outcome of yester
day’s game the Athletic management
did not begin the sale of the tickets
for the sixth game until this morning.
Long lines of peiplo stood in front of
down town ticket offices waiting to
purchase reserved seats and at the
grand stand ticket offices at the ball
grounds there was another long string
There were a thousand people at the
bleacher gates at 9 o’clock and short
ly after that hour the gates were open
ed. The crowd today is expected to
be as large as that which saw the
first game.in this city.
The National League players w'lio
came over from New York last night
were about the corridors of their hotel
early today and hopeful of victory.
They feel that they have somewhat
shaken the confidence of the Athletics
and hope that they can hold the Am
erican Leaguers today. The Athletics
reported at the ground at 10 a. m. All
of them got into their uniforms and
began batting practice.
No Protest by Mack.
Concerning the statement of Um
pire Klem that Captain Doyle, of New
York, did not touch the home plate
when he came home with the winning
run in the tenth inning yesterday,
Manager Mack said:
“I will make on protest. The Giants
won the game and are entitled to the
victory. Doylo was safe at the plato
by 15 feet and the question of wheth
er he slid over the plate or along the
side of it Is a matter of minor im
portance. I never have and never will
bicker over decisions of umpires. Tha
game will stand as a win for New
York.”
FIRST INNING.
New York.—Devore rolled a ground
er to Bender and was out at first
after having two strikes called on
him. Doyle drove the ball over the
temporary fence in right field for two
bases. It was the first ball pitched
to him. Tho ball almost went out of
the grounds. SViodgrass lifted a high
one which Lord took care of. It was
two out with Doyle on second and
Murray at the bat. Doyle scored on
Murphy’s muff of Murray’s fly. Mur
ray was caught off first a moment
later by a beautiful throw of Bender
to Davis. One run; one hit; one er
ror.
Philadelphia—Lord was an
out, Doyle to Merkle. The first three
balls Ames pitched were wide ones
and tho next four were straight over
tho plate, one of which Lord fouled.
Oldrlng, who had made a home run
off Marquard yesterday, struck out
Collins also struck out. No runs; no
hits; no errors.
SECOND INNING.
New York.—Mierkle lifted a high
one which. Oldring captured after a
long run. Barry muffed Herzog's line
drive and the runner was safe. Iler

CLUE GIVEN 61
MM SEEN WITH
MUFFLED FACE
Emerged From Alley In Rear
Dr. Helen Knabe’s Apartment
at 2 O’Clock Night of Murder.
MUST HAVE MADE EXIT
BY ONLY DOOR OF FLAT
Information Supplied by Bar
keeper who was Going Home.
Disappeared Around Corner.
Indianapolis.—Detectives who cling
to the theory that Dr. Helene Ktuibo
was murdered found a. new Lead to
day. They discovered that a man
holding a handkerchief to his face
was see n to emerge from an alley in
the rear of the apartment, house oc
cupied by Dr. Knabe about 2 o’clock
Tuesday night—the night of the phy
sician’s violent death. The police In
formation was supplied by J. C. Carr,
a barkeeper, who said that as he was
going home and turned into the
street at the side of Dr. Knabe’s
apartment he heard two faint screams
and as he approached the alley at the
rear of the building a man with a
handkerchief partially concealing his
lace came out, passed him and hur
riedly disappeared around a street
corner.
Was Well Dressed.
Th man, Carr said, was about 40
years old, as near as he could judge,
and was well dressed. Detectives
pointed out that if he was the mur
derer of Dr. Knabe he must have
made exit from her flat by its only
door, into the front corridor of the
building, ru n into a passageway at
its side and then through the alley in
the rear. Investigation has satisfied
them that no one hail crawled
through a window of the flat. In ad
dition to following tills line of inquiry
the police again today questioned
Miss Augusta Knabe and also sought
among the physician's acquaintances
for further possible light upon the
suicide theory or some motive not
yet apparent for murder.
"GHRiSTIftNITY IS GBMIR&
SOI BFJjIjLO STOBIGE"
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement Sweeping Coun
try, Asserts Sec’y Rood.
New York.—“We are succeeding In
getting Christianity out of cold stor
age; the men and religion forward
movement is weeping the country.
Results so far have been highly satis
factory.”
This is the glut of a statemeht
made hero today by Henry Rood, pub
licity secretary of the men and re
ligion forward movement, which was
recently launched in Minneapolis,
South Bend, Ind., Grand Rapids and
Detroit, and which will be carried
through seventy-six cities in this
country and Canada between now and
next May.
5,000,000 Men and Boys.
According to Mr. Rood, who has
just returned from the west, there
are interested in the movement as
nearly as can be climated, between
fiv and si* million men and boys, a
larger number than have taken part
in any one other effort of the kind
since the crusades of the middle ages
with the single exception of the re
formation.
“The men and religion forward
movement Is taking the church to the
men wherever a man can be found.
Help Parents Guide.
In addition to sane logical evan
gelistic work wherein there Is no
note of excitement or fanaticism,
spefcial efforts are being made to
help parents guide and protect their
boys during the critical years of
adolescence, teaching these develop
ing lads how to build up strong bodies
and clean minds, how to nerve them
selves and keep control of them
selves.
Morgan Story Myth.
"The story that Mr. J. P. Morgan
Is financing or directing the move
ment Is simply nonsense. He Is not
now and never has beep a member of
any committee connected with the
movement. I say tht» to correct the
report that there Is a huge campaign
fund behind the movement, and that
because of this we do not need fur
ther subscriptions. Such reports are
apt to prejudice a great many people,
among whom and with whom some of
our best work ig being done.”
WHY PEOPLE READ
THE AFTERNOON PAPER
The same argument that applies t<»
readers in search of advertisements
applies to every department of the
newspaper. There is an old saying
that the American newspaper is pre
pared by busy men for busy people.
This Is no doubt true, but the fact
exists that the large majority of the
copies of the evening newspaper are
read in the evening, and at a time
when the renders are not busy and
have and devote the time to a
thorough perusal
Moreover the extension of the tele
graph and cables and the numerous
local improvements of the last ten
years have enabled the afternoon
newspapers to give practically all the
news when It is news. When the
afternoon newspapers suspend for
tlie day the courts of law are closed,
the business operations of the day
are over, the baseball games have
been concluded; all that is left for its
morning contemporaries is to rewrite
the news of the day and add the
scanty happenings between the hours
of 5 o'clock and midnight.
For these reasons the afternoon
newspaper is read with an attention
far more perceptible than its morn
ing contemporaries and the tendency
in this direction is so strong that
there Is hardly possible that there
can be a change. As a proof of this
we ask all our subscribers who also
read a morning newspaper to ask
themselves to which of the two they
devote the more attention or read
with greater interest.- Louisville
Post.
FOUR TALESMEN LEFT CUT
UT 125 M'NAMARA VENIRE
Los Angeles.—Four talesmen sub
ject only to peremptory challenges,
one whose challenge for cause was
under consideration and one whose
examination was uncompleted, were
all that were left out of a venire of
125 men summoned in the McNamara
murder trial when court opened to
day.
Attorneys for the case figured out
today that, at the present rate It
would take about 42 weeks to got. a
jury. No one, however, is making
estimates longer than that, of Attor
ney Clarence S. Harrow, who said that
the jury box would he filled In about
two months.
District Attorney John D. Freder
icks refused to make a prediction.
"By the end of th'e week,” he said,
“we may be able to make one.”
U. S. Jury Investigating.
Indianapolis.—Agents of Use Fed
eral department of justice have been
investigating allegations against John
,T. McNamara of conspiracy to destroy
buildings by dynamite. This became
known here today. The Federal grand
jury for this district will soon begin
an investigation.
! CHANCE FOR ARMISTICE
BETWEEN ITALY, TURKEY
Rome, via Frontier, Oct. 26.—A1l re
porls concerning possibility of an
armistice between Italy and Turkey
are discredited in official circles
which affirm, on the contrary, that,
Italy is determined to cease her mil
itary operations until Tripoli Is
wholly conquered.
Italians Lost 300.
Berlin.—Advices from Constanti
nople state that reports of a recent
battle with Italian losses of 300 at
Tripoli have ended for the present
any chance for mediation. The Turk
ish government, adopting the stand
point, of the people, has swung over
to the idea of continuing the war.
Germany accordingly sees no opening
for intervention.

Many of the men in the president’s

Ho it was all along the line. Every
