CUBS BEATEN EASILY , 7 TO 2 I lI I Youngsters Hit Hard and Coombs Twirls Best Game of the Three He Helped to Win-Victorious Players > Entitled to $2,062 Each. J Chicago.-The baseball champion- ship of the w.orld belongs to the Phila I delphia club of the American league. They clinched the big pennant fast on j Sunday seven runs to two for the Chi cago Nationals , and there was none in the big overflow crowd to say that , 1 they had not won it fairly and square- I ly. Five games were played and the . eastern youngsters took four of them by outbatting , outfielding and outrush- ing the veteran Chicagoans. They "got the jump" at the start , and al though Chicago punctuated their pro- gress with a defeat Saturday , it really did not change the situation a bit. While the series was not the most profitable ever played , it helps to sim \ plify the high cost of living problem confronting even such heroes as the Philadelphians , to say nothing of the Chicagoans , with winter coming. The players' share of the money amounts I to $79,091.93. Of this 60 per sent , or $47,943.15 goes to the winners and $31,628.71 to the losers. As there are twenty-three players on each team eligible to participate , each of the . t . Philadelphians entitled in round , numbers to $2,062 , and each Chicagoar ' to $1,375. UNEASY .

AGAIN AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS TAKE THIRD CONSECUTIVE GAME FROM CHICAGO. CHANCE IS PUT OFF , FIELD Captain of National Team Hicks on Murphy's Home Run anj Vs Dis ciplined by Umpire-His Pitchers Are Hard Hit. - . Chic : go.-More than 26,000 people saw the Philadelphia American league ball team administer the third con secutive defe'at to the Chicago Na- tional league club in the world's championship series on Thursday. J > . In every department t ; the game the Quaker City team h.d : . it on the veteran pannant winners. They played rings around them. They knocked their pitchers out of the box and per- formed stunts in the field that robbed the Chicago players of what might have been hits. Reulbach started out to pitch for the Chicagoans. He lasted two in nings and then Mclntire took his place. The latter was driven out of the box in the third inning after the Athletics had slammed the ball all around the lot. Pfiester took his place. The third inning was really the . most remarkable of the game. Be sides seeing the retirement of Mc Intire , this same round noted the blacklisting of Manager Chance. He was ordered off the field by Umpire Connolly because he disputed too ar dently a decision which gave Murphy a home run for a terrific hit into the crowd in right field. Jack Coombs , who worked on Tues day at Philadelphia for the Athletics came back and twirled a much bet- ter game. He had better control , a quicker break to his curves , which he used considerably throughout. The American league champions continued their excellent work on the field and at the plate. There were no particular stars in the conflict on : the side of the Athletiqs , but all of the men took a hand in administering the third consecutive defeat to the Cubs. The score : Clubs. R. H. E.

The - Philadelphia Athletics proved too strong for the Chicago Nationals in the second base- ball game of the world's series and romped away with a 9 to 3 victory. The American league champions , who now have won two straight con- tests , looked superior to their oppo- nents in both hitting and pitching. They outhit the Chicagos , fourteen to I nine , and Jack Coombs , who was opposed by Mordecai Brown , had a big shade over the latter twirler. While he did not prove as effective as Bender , Coombs was unhittable in . ' fijhe pinches , when he did magnificent ! 5ork. Like Bender , he mixed his jjirves well , using speed , curves and 3 slow one alternately. Brown did not appear at his best , as his deceptive curve ball did not break with the sharpness that it usual- ly does. Brown also lacked the con- trol and after getting two and three balls on his opponents he was com- pelled to stick the next over. As a result the Athletics hit timely and cinched the victory in the seventh round , when six runs were secured off him. him.Philadelphia. . - Through the master . ly pitching of "Chief" Bender the Philadelphia American baseball team defeated the Chicago Nationals by a score of 4 to 1 in the initial game of the world's championship series. The game was witnessed by 26,981 per sons. The game was a wonder in its I way , and Chief Bender , who pitched for the Athletics , had the Chicagoans at his mercy up to the ninth inning , when he * et dovrn a tit and the Cubs got their single tally.

FRENCH t LINER GOES ON REEF Passengers Numbering 547 Are Safe But Ship Cannot Be Floated Until Cargo Is Jettisoned - Nine Lives Lost in Storm. New York.-The destructiveness and the devastation wrought by the \Vest Indian hurricane along the Flor- ida coast , south of St. Augustine , . is being revealed as wire communication is slowly restored. Dispatches from Tampa , and Key West received by roundabout routes give a long list of vessels wrecked and lives lost. Most thrilling of all is the report telling of the grounding of the French transatlantic steamship Louisiane , with 547 passengers , on Sombrero Reef , fifty miles east of Key West. Fortunately , however , all hands are reported safe. The vessel lies in eight feet of water and cannot be" floated until most of her cargo has been jet- tisoned. Three of the crew of the schooner Harry I. Haywood of Boston were drowned when that vessel went on the reefs at Boca Ratone. Six men were drowned when the sloop Nabob was swept to sea and swamped off Masquesos. The captain , mate and one seaman of the schooner William W. Con- verse of Philadelphia were lost when the schooner went to pieces on Tues- day. Five survivors were brought to St. Augustine. The schooner Edward T. Stotes- bury of New York is also reported wrecked on a reef. The Texas oil barge Dallas , with nine men aboard , broke her towing line in a ninety-mile gale off Jack- sonville , Fla. , and has not been heard of since. The steamer Brazos of the Mallory line left Galveston on October 12 with sixteen : cabin and fifteen steerage pas- sengers. Since a dispatch was re ceived from her captain on Sunday thac she had anchored in the Gulf of Mexico nothing has been heard of her. GOVERNMENT IS TO DEFEND Validity of Law Making Initial Carrier Liable fbr. Damage Is Before High Court. Washington.-Argument was begun Wednesday in the United States Su preme court as to the validity of the so-called Carmack amendment to the Hepburn rate law of 1904. The initial carrier of interstate commerce is not only made liable by this amendment for damages which may occur in transportation on its own road but also on all its connecting lines. The contest is probably the greatest of all the legal controversies which have arisen out of the passage of the Hepburn rate law. Attacking the constitutionality of the law at this time are the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com- pany. In addition to those claiming dam- ages for shipments over these roads , Attorney General Wickersham of the department of justice has come forth to defend the constitutionality of the law. From two primary points of view the railroads attack the law. Dead Russian Leader Honored. Moscow. Russia.

Senator Cummins , Governor Canroll and Others Pay Last Tribute to Memory of Dead Statesman. Fort Dodge , la. - The funeral of the late Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver took place here v/hile the rain fell in tor I I rents. Burial was in Oakdale ceme- . tery. tery.The The drizzling rain , driven by a raw , cold wind , compelled the family to abandon the original plan of holding the services on the lawn of the Dolli- ver home. The funeral , therefore , was held in the Fifty-sixth regiment arm- ory , which accommodates 6000. : Contrary elements could not keep away the devoted friends of Senator Dolliver , however , who crowded every available space in the big building. Standing outside the building , strain- ing to catch a word of the eulogies be- ing : pronounced upon the departed statesman , were almost 3,000 people. They crowded around the building until finally Senator Clapp of Minneso- ta left the services inside and went outside , making a short speech to them. On the stage of the armory were seated the clergy , the United States senators and congressmen , the com- mittee from the two houses of the Iowa general assembly , all state offi cers and other speakers. The space in front of the stage was a perfect mass of flowers. Particular- ly noticeable was the huge wreath sent by the United States senate. Preceding the speeches at the arm ory the regulation Methodist Episcopal ] burial services were held. Following the ritualistic services of the church , eulogies were delivered by the following men : Rev. Charles M. Stuart , Chicago ; Governor Carroll , on behalf of the people of Iowa ; Senator Cummins , as representative of the Uni- ted States senate ; Bishop William Fra- ser McDowell of .Chicago , "A Fallen Leader. " CRIPPEN TELLS HIS STORY American Dentist Takes Witness Stand In Own Behalf In Trial for Wife Murder. . London.-The climax was reached in the sensational Crippen murder case Thursday when Dr. H. H. Crip- pen took the witness stand to refute the charge that he had murdered his wife , that he might marry his pretty typist , Ethel Clare Leneve. . Crippen admitted that he lied con- cerning his wife's disappearance. "I said those things to 'cover up the scandal , for both our sakes , " said the witness. "It is true that many of the things I said were false. She repeat- edly threatened to leave me , telling me that she could go to America to join Bruce Miller. I last saw her on January 31 of this year , and I be- lieved that she fled to America. To avoid scandal I concocted a story that she had gone to America to attend to certain private business for me in California , and that while on her way across the American continent she had died and had been incinerated there. " . Telling of his flight to North Amer ica , Crippen said : "Ethel and I were hunted andwe wanted to escape. The quartermaster of the Montrose volunteered to help us. We were to be smuggled ashore in a piece of baggage , but our plan was frustrated. I wrote the suicide note to throw the authorities off the track and give us more time to get away.

AMERICA CREW IS RESCUED Wellman and Companions Are PIckec Up and Return to New York on the Trent. New York. - Walter Wellman , who with his crew of five men sailed from Atlantic City , N. J. , for Europe in the immense dirigible balloon America last Saturday , got back to this city Wednesday on the Royal Mail Steam Packet line steamer Trent. Barring a few Injuries to his right arm and one of the fingers of his right hand , the man who directed this daring attempt to cross the ocean in a gas bag returns in good physical shape although his nerves are some- what shattered and he has reached the conclusion that in the present de- velopment of the dirigible the task he undertook is a hopeless one. The members of his crew came back bubbling with enthusiasm over their adventures and with open ex pressions of willingness to try it again as soon as anyone produces a bal loon which has half a chance of ma- king the journey. New York.-The first attempt to cross the Atlantic in a dirigible bal- loon has proved a failure. The Amer- ica , with Walter Wellman and his par- ty of five on board , was picked up Tuesday morning ; almost 375 miles due east of Cape Hatteras , by the in coming Bermuda liner Trent. News of the rescue came In two wireless messages from Captain Down of the Trent one reporting to the company agents here and another in forming the New York Times of the result of the expedition in which It had taken a leading part. Captain Down reported that at five o'clocTuesday ! : morning he first sighted the airship. Signals of dis- tress and calls for help were given. For three hours the Trent maneuvered in the heavy sea to get alongside of Wellman and his wrecked companions. The entire party finally was taken aboard , even to the cat , which was taken along as a mascot. The Amer ica was abandoned where the rescue occurred , in latitude 35.43 , longitude 68.18.
