MAROONS ARE IN DANGER
Struggle of Purdue and Chicago Will
Attract Attention of Western
Fan.
Chicago. Oct. 21. One of the crucial
periods of the western conference foot
ball season wiii be reached with the
playing of games on Saturday, when
ihree undefeated elevens go into ac
tion. The losers ol these struggles
will be eliminated from the conference
championship, while the victors will
be one notch nearer the title now held
by Wisconsin.
Chicago, Purdue, and Illinois are the
teams which have not felt the sting of
defeat this year. As each Institution
is represented by a strong eleven, Sat
urday's battles should result in inter
esting football. Tliete teams have been
groomed for these contests since the
-season opened aud they should giv
clever exhibitions of the advanced
game.
The annual struggle between Chi
cago and Purdue at I'niversitv field
will attract especial attention from the
western football world. Purdue's tie
game with Wisconsin, rated as one of
the strongest in the "big nine," certain
ly shows the team to be one of class
and nerve.

yesterday defeated the Chicago White

was scheduled to take place at 2:30

o'clock because" of the bltazard.
"No, I will not send the boys out
in such weather,", was McGraw's re
ply when asxed if he w as going to
play. Later he changed his ninid and
the game was on.'
Governor Edward F. Dunne, escort
ed to the mound by Manager McGraw
of the Giants and Manager Callahan
of the White Sox, opened the game.
He pitched' the first ball across the
plate like a Mathewson.
The Sox batted first. Weaver open

singled to right and Weaver took sec
ond. Chase hit safely to left field,
scoring Weaver. Chase then attempt
ed to steal second, but was caught.
Crawford was good for a three-base
hit Schaefer scored on Crawford's
hit. That was all.

The Giants scored another in the
seventh. The Sox made a run in the
ninth, but had no chance for a rally
that would win.
Larry Doyle was the hero of the
occasion, for it was here that the
present captain of the National league
champions got his start in baseball.
The players were the guests at a
theatre party last night. At 11:30
o'clock they boarded their special
train for Peoria, where they are sched
uled to play this afternoon.

Murphy wired Promoter Mulkern,
who was back of the Friday night
bout, that he is willing to meet the
local battler, but asked more time to

being made to set the match back a

According to the promoters' arrange

will be appealed to in an effort to
reach some sort of an agreement.
According to a report brought back
from New York by one of Packey Mc
Farland's friends yesterday, the South
Sider has decided to give up trying
to battle lightweights. His bout with j
Tommy Murphy is said to be the cause, ;
for the match only drew a little over I
