Fielder Jones, in the Now York
Times—It is another case of
youth against age. It is speed
• nd enthusiasm against lh** list
InesnoHs which follows continued j
success. In that way we must
explain the two successive de
feats of the Cubs.
“Adrian C, (.Top) Anson,' In
the New York Herald—The Cubs
lacked in ginger and usual snap
that they most always display,
rerhaps the defeat of the open
ing day may have hud this effect.
Hut for perfect support, Coombs
would probably have lost his j
game.
Ty Cobb, in the* New York
Morning World—The game was
remarkable because it truly
showed the offensive strength of
the Athletics Brown did not
come up to expectations Kddie
Collin* was the particular star
of th« game.
George Mullin, in the New
York American- The Cub* were
outplayed in every department I
can not conceive how the Cubs t
can now have a possible hope for f
ultimate victory

Atniner -cCThe- * ('tib« were out

The Cubs may strike their salt to
morrow in Chicago: thee may resume’
their former grinding, crushing style
of play, that gave to them the name
tif being the greatest baseball team in
the game's history, and yet dash the
jubilant ho|>es of the Athletes but
there are probably few outside <*t ('hi- ;

Cubs Outplayed.
So far It, ttie series Ho Athletics
have outplayed ('hie *., m every de
part (rent except Melding. They have)
made six errors to Chicago's f< or, hut
have atoned for this even in a fielding
way by their more dashing fvle of:
pi i.v. Or, at least three occasions the
Cubs have shown poor judgment and
indecision that have proved u< fatal us
actual errors would have done.
Stelr.feldt s work at third rid that
of Zimmerman at second has shown :
in sorry contrast to that of Huk-r and
Collins. The latter is the one bi t Kohl- j
hour of the kerbs to date, l.ltt'e John- i
fly Evers In his palmiest days never
had anything on the former Columbia
University lw who has batted at a
•MT clip and accepted s, vetueen l
chanchos without a slip. He lies flash- .
ed In and out of play after play, ;
* swiped bases with abandon, and has
been a whole thorn-bush in the side of j
the Cubs.
Zimmerman, who was touted as the ;
•dual of Evers, and whose hat. It was * I
preoicieti would » orx navoc wun tne
Athletics' pitchers, ha* bee>1 a bad
cut of “bunk" so far, but in this ha
ha* only kopt'pace with several of the
other bi* Cubs.
Brown in Despair.
The downfall of M or decal Brown In
the seventh Inning u, yesterday's
Same was a bit of baseball of real dra
matic elements. The collapse of the
great twlrler. the hero of s-ores of
pitching duels and the conqueror of
Mathewson and every other star with
•Whom he ever engaged in combat, was
Complete. As the Athletic batsmen
rang up the hit* off his delivery In thi*
fat inning tbe three-fingered marvel
appeared absolutely loat. His actions
lh the bos - ould have made n good
Moving-picture •‘despair.” At last
Br«wn seemed to realize that the cun
ning had slipped from his sleeve and
h* began lobbing the ball over. The
Athletics did the rest.
The picture was pathetic in a way,
got the least proof of which was the
way the vast crowd cheered him at
tbe close of the disastrous inning.
Chance had pinned his faith to Brown,
and when he wavered the Cub sup
porters wondered among themselves
where nest to turn.
Richie, who followed him, looked de
cidedly better than the veteran, just
gs McIntyre had overshadowed Overall
on the day before. Will Heulbach be
the nest star sacrifice?./ Will Chance
learn too late that he would have fared
better by putting bis new blood into
the fray first? It is a ticklish thing
ib put a youngster Into a world’s cham
pionship game, but that It can be done
successfully has been proved oy Mack.
Pltehers Show Contempt.
Reader on Monday and Coombs on
Tuesday seemed to treat the Chicago
hgtamen with contempt during a part
«ff their games. Bender actually loafed
on the j«b in the closing Innings Mon
day, and the way Coombs pulled hlm
astf together, after getting Into holes
through wildness and sloppy fielding,
rod clearly that he had the Cubs’
present series will, hardly be as
for the players as that of last

Aa a sample of the magnitude of the

that two special trains, one of live
ioa'’hea and tin other of six, were re
(iulred to carry the players, baseball

Victory for
Cuhs.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—If loyal "root
ing'’ will stent the tide of defeat that
teems to hate set in against the Cubs.
Chance's men and the Athletics will
l>e on even terms when the teams
Intah their first Chicago engagement.
The Chicago fans are desperate over
the it net poet ed b 1 Qgs -up of the CntxMw—
Philadelphia. Thor have not given tip
hope, although they realize that th<
Amerlcan T.eague champions hate
<uch a bulge on their own i«ete that
i complete reversal of form will have
to take place before .they may think
>f final victory.
Chicago ia planning m storm the I
IVestalde ball lot to-morrow and r!p '
milter up m iruw vim mho in
•ftoii to trip up the fart-moving Ath
ene*. Visions of four straight de
eats of the Cubs loom largo on the
akt, front, and to avert such a dts
irter the fans will move heaven and
tarth and anything else that Is neres
pary. The victories of the Athletics
taw been so elean-cut and decisive
hat here Is little ground left for eon
lolat'on. lint the true Chicago fan still
tas hi* "hunch.” and that is some
hlng will yet take plate to wreck the
Athletics. And he is going to cling
:o thi* •'hunch” until the thing Is over
AH Seals Sold.
The grandrtand seats have all been
lold for Thursdays and Friday"a
fames. and the hleacherltes are ah_
■eady couptlng the moments until they
■an swarm into the park. Should
I'hlcago win Thursday's game the
outpouring of fans on "Friday will tie
lust as heavy, thus Insuring a record
tireaking attendance for the first four
fames But should the Athletics
Jiaks it thr. e straight on Thursday It [
» doubtful V. thrr the bleachers will
:ie taxed on Friday, for the Chicago
'bugs have no love for baseball ru
uerals.'’ j
Houltmch vs. Flank.
Advam-e advice from Manager
.’hance indicates that he will pitch
Iteulbach in Thursday's game, with
King” Cole as the understudy. For
Friday's contest t’hicago will probably
use McIntyre, who in the part of a
fame that he pitched on Monday i
ihowed himself the master of the
Athletics.
Plank ia helloed to be Mack's
holer for the opening game here.
It Is Piank'a turn, and as the Cubs ‘
tave never shown much fondnesp for
eft-hand pitchers, PHink appears to
ve the logical choice. Cy Morgan will
>e held in reserve for Thursday's
fame.
On Friday Mack will undoubtedly >

ieved Crandall in Monday’s game.
Manager Chase was hard put for a

The back Held showed splendid ag

Coombs. it will be noted, was forced
to pitch a great many more times
than the opposing twlriers, and hand
ed up 30 more wide ones than Brown
and Richie. His had inning, the open
er, when only one run was scored,
called for the same number of pitches
that Brown made In the seventh, when
the Athletics made six. Coombs faced
only six men In the first, while nine
batted against Brown In the seventh,
and another was up there when Lord
: was caught stealing, retiring the side.
But in Coombs’ case the batters wers
: waiting for him. while, when it was
discovered that Brown had weakened,
the Athletics lit on him as quickly as
possible.
Morphy's Psnllsr Record.
Murphy's batting figures are the
i most interesting, showing that not a
i strike was pitched to him sUl day tb-'i
, he did not meet. First time up ne
I was wa ked on four consecutive bad
['ball*. Four times later he went to
; tiat, and each time he hit the first ball
i pitched, once for a double and the
i other time for outs. Davis also was
eager, meeting the second ball twice
and the third ball once.
Despite all that has been said about
how the Cubs would wait for a pitch
er. If they thought it would get any
thing. they showed considerable ea
gerness to hit. even with Coombs as
unsteady as he was. Nine Chicago bat
ters either hit safely or went out on
the first ball pitched im them, and four
olhere allowed Coombs to deliver but
twice. Sheckard and Hofman were
bases on baits.
nwtaw CImuk*’* Problcn.
Brown was fairly steady. That was
about the only thine that could lx
; said of Overall yesterday. Now Chance
; has no pitcher whom he la sure can
; get the ball over, regardless of how
1 good or bad he may be otherwise.
Keulhach probably will go in Thurs
i day. and he Is always liable t# throw
ft away on bases on balls. Pfe later
Is feared for the same reason. The
left-hander will be sent In somewhere
i It I# figured that he can stop Collins
! and Baber, and that the team may
win behind him.
Chicago's hopes ore slight, however.
The Athletics esn lose three of the
next five and still win the series The
Cubs are done for If they do not take
four In five. Baseball men figure that
It Is almost over. Chance hasn't shown
a pitcher excepting McIntyre, who
looks the part and his team displays
no life or speed. It has gone boon
rapidly since 1108.
Mack is expected to work Plank in
the third game, being able to reft his
right-handers, now that he has two to.
.That game will be at Chicago on
Thursday afternoon.
The big wurJd'fi series is now ba
iliff bitterly contested. First blood
was scored by Connie Mack's Athletics
in the opening, when they trimmed
Captain Chance's gang by the score
of 4 to 1. The Athletic infield, with
the masterly pitching of Bender, wee
too much for the Cubs. Among the
spectators at the game was A. G.
Spalding, a famous pitcher of long
ago. and now a candidate for United
States Senator in California. Mr.
Spalding Is just as enthusiastic as
ever over the game he once played
s<> well himself, in the accompany
ing picture Strunk is shown being
caught at second. The map shows
the hail about to enter the fielder's
glove. ,
