Postpone ments and General Enthusiasm in Fan dom. 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.

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.

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.

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. HEAVY RAINS MIRK THE TROPICAL STORM'S ROUTE Jacksonville, Fla.—Heavy rains throughout Florida mark the progress of the tropical storm.
