. in Kinth Inning.
FINAL GAME WITH CUBS TODAY
Zimmerman' Hitting Responsible
for Fear of Satlonals' Five Kui
While Opponents Make Total
of Eight Scores.
ViCHICAGO, Oct 17. "Chick" Mattlck of
the Chicago American league team today
kept his club in the running for the city
championship by driving out a triple
with the bases full la the ninth inning.
When he scored a moment later on a
short hit in front of the plate, which
Archer tossed to first, he brought defeat
to the Nationals by a score of 8 to & The
series now stands three games each, and
the deciding game will be played on the
American ieague grounds tomorrow.
The spectacular finish was In keeping;
with the rest of the game. Zimmerman's
hitting was responsible for four of the
Cubs' tallies. His sacrifice fly scored
Miller in the first; his home run drive,
which hit the grandstand in left and
bounded to center, brought himself and
Tinker home In the fourth and bis double
came In the eighth, after Miller's triple
(hod sent ' Good, who was bit by a.

A single by Borton and a wild pitch
ly Cheney, followed by fiohalk's single,
have the Sox a run In the second. Then,
in the sixth Collins and Weaver were In
fected by Zimmerman's accuracy and
each hit a home run, Borton having
doubled between these exploits.
The ninth Inning started with the Cubs
leading, but Richie, who relieved Cheney,
was wlid and two passes and a hit filled
the bases. With one out Lavender came
to the erscue, only to be touched for a
triple by Mattlck, the first man up.
Bill Lange was In fine form, pitching
masterly ball throughout his reign on the
mound. He was . relieved for a pinch
hitter in the ninth. Walsh, who finished
for the Sox, held the Cubs scoreless In
their half.
, "Buck" Weaver, who was Injured in a
collision with Lord in the second meeting
of the clubs, took up his old position at
shortstop and proved a valuable asset to
Ms team, his fielding being one of the
features o fthe game.

TIGERS TO CLASH WITH AMES
-':- r " i
Missouri University to Play First
Conference Game Saturday.
MISSOURI , DT GREAT SHAPE
Team Has Been Wording Hard and
Appears to Be ; Strongest In
Years Supporters Look
for Decisive Victory.
COLUMBIA. Mo., Oct. 17.-(Special.)
The eyes of all Tiger foot ball supporters
are turned with anxious expectation
toward the first of the Missouri valley
conference games, the conflict with -Ames
at Rollins field Saturday. Never In the
history of Missouri foot ball have black
and gold warriors been able to defeat the
husky Aggies and the ooaches and the
student body are clamoring for a de
cisive victory. And the chances for dust
such a victory have never been better.
Not even In the year when the peerless
VB1U" Roper coached the team to a tie
with Ames was the material equal to that
of this year.
; It Is the lntentnion of Coach Brewer to
confine praotloe this week td light sig
nal work, forward passing, running,
back punts and one short scrimmage
with the freshmen. This appears to be
the most expedient tactlo to pursue be
oause of the Injuries so many of the
first squad received in the battle with
Rolls last Saturday. None of the In
juries, however, were so serious as to
necessitate any one of them, with the
possible exception of McWilll&ms, from
participating In the game with Amos.
The lineup for the game with Ames
will probably be the final selection for
the year. As to what players will be ac
corded first choice is stjll , uncertain,
both In the back field and In the line.
Wlggans, who has been substituting, has
rounded Into such a' speedy and capable
career of . the pigskin that Brewer Is
seriously considering the transfer of Cap
tain Lemlre to left end and Wlggans to
left haK. Brewer is trying to solve the
problem at center. Gallagher, 223-pound
veteran, was considered the ideal man
for the position, but the game with Rolla
showed him to be lacking In aggressive
ness and shiftiness necessary to hold the
center of the line. No better man 'has
been secured, so It Is expected a transfer
o tone of the guard men will be the only
feasible move.
This game with the Aggies Is the only
contest before the big game with Ne
braska here November 1 and as a result
the athletic board anticipates the attend
ance of a large crowd of local supporters
who may wish to get a line on the team.
when facing a worthy foe.
Doane Tigers Of f to
Go Against Yankton
CRETE, Neb., Oct I7.-Special.)-Al-though
the stage Is not so well set for
victory as it was last week, Coach John
son takes a likely bunch of gridiron war
riors to Yankton. Koester, the speedy
pony halfback who has been changing off
with the heavier backs, Is out of the
game for a couple of weeks on account
of a bad knee. Captain Adams is nursing
a lame shoulder that may keep him out
of the contest and Johnson, sub center,
was taken along and probably will play
a greater part of the game. Goble is still
bothered with a bad shoulder caused by
a fall In practice one evening, so that
Medlar, who played full In the Peru
game, probably will play that position
part of the time In the Yankton game.
While the subs that take the places va
cated by these men are all good, yet
the strength of the team is undoubtedly
lessened. ., ....:,'',-.';, ;

CHICAGO, Oct 17.-Jack Johnson, the
negro heavyweight champion pugilist ap
peared before Chief of Police McWeeny
today to explain his relations with Miss
Lucille Cameron, the 19-year-old daughter
of Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconnet of Minne
apolis, for whom the police had been
asked- to search by the mother. Miss
Cameron is described as a striking blond.
the daughter of a well-to-do family.
In a dramatic - appeal Mrs. Falconnet
told of her failure to get her daughter
away from the influences of the negro.
She described her anguish when she
learned last Friday that her daughter
was a frequenter of Johnson's cafe, her
hurried trip here to rescue the girl, her
Interviews with the pugilist who, . she
declared,- Insulted her and flouted her
plea to give up the girl. Johnson, she
said!, told her he could "get" any woman
he wanted.
'When I found Lucille I pointed out
the wrong she had done. I pleaded with
her. I told hed I would- give up every
thing I had In life toget her to go back;
that I would go any place with her and
shield her from criticism back home. She
refused to come, being apparently under
Johnson's Influence.
Talks with pohnson.
"Then I stifled my pride and telephoned
Johnson. He said he would send an
automobile for me. . Friends advised me
to see if I could not personally get him
to give up my daughter.
"When his automobile arrived he was
In it himself, although he said it would
be empty. When I entered his limousine
I drew down the shades so as not to be
seen. This nettled him. "Oh, some of the
best women in Chicago ride in this car,'
Is what he said to me.
"I begged Johnson to give my daughter
up. He said he would not and leered in
my face.
- "We rode to a home on Sheridan road,
where Luclle was staying. She wept and
told me she had gone too far to go back.
Every once in a while she would wglk
out of the room with the negro and talk
with him. I told her I would do every
thing within my power to save her.
"I left her undecided. Finally she came
to my hotel. We talked of how she could
become disentangled. I was convinced
at that time that the negro had a
hyprotic influence over her."
She went downstairs to use the tele
phone and never returned.
Johnson told me he would give every
dollar he has to hold her," she continued.
"I have appealed to the police, but they
say they can do nothing, as Lucille is 19
years old. It does not Beem that white
men would see their civilization so out
raged." Johnson made an absolute denial of un
duly freindly relations with Miss Cam
eron. He emphatically denied the report
that his infatuation for the Cameron
girl was one of the causes of the suicide
recently of Mrs. Duryea Johnson, the
negro champion's white wife. He declared
the girl left his employment as cashier
in h'fs cafe for another position and that
his wife has never seen Miss Cameron.
"Johnson denies the whole thing." said
Chief McWheeny. "One thing Is certain.
If f find anything wrong 'at Johnson's
place, he'll be arrested in a hurry." i

When the French line steamship Ro

docks a little Chinese woman, clinging
to the arm of a big American'came down
the gangplank.
"Who Is she?" was asked, and for answer-a
first cabin passenger list showed
that she was Mrs. William Dromberger
of Philadelphia, and the man with her
was her husband. She clung to her hus

suddenly regained her poise and re

Was I not Ah Tung Qua! and was not

meeting with Mr. Dromberger?"
Mr. Dromberger and his little wife
then hurried away to' catch a train for
Philadelphia. '
The meeting and marriage of the Phila

China Mr: Dromberger was engaged lit

ALL CIGAR SIGNS USELESS
Common Notions and Tests of Qual
ity Experts Pronounce With,
out Merit. ':
The average smoker believes that a
dark wrapper means a strong cigar and
a. light wrapper a mild one; and he is
absolutely wrong. There is no con
nection whatever between color and
strength. Squeezing cigars and smelling
them are equally fallacious as tests of
quality. So. too, is the color and firm
ness of the ash; the notion that the
whiter the ash and the longer It stays
on the better the cigar,- is altogether
erroneous. The best Havanas burn with
a clear steel-gray ash, and Its duration
and length are mainly determined by the

Then, again, the men in Havana Insisted
to me that a spotted cigar meant less
than nothing so far as quality, whether
good or bad, was concerned; that the
barometer affects cigars far more than
the thermometer; that the silky-looking
wrapper is as much to be avoided as the
veiny one or the one that is only in
patches; that cigars should neither be so
soft as to yield readily to the pressure
of the fingers nor so dry as to crackle;
that most of the talk about "condition"
Is pure ignorance, , the Americans being
right In preferring a moist cigar, and the
English , equally right in preferring a
drier one the vital point in each case
being the proper period of recovery from
the sea-sickness that cigars contract as
easily as their smokers, a period that
varies with the length of the voyage;
that except for the expert, who has given
his whole life to the business, there are
virtually no outward Indications that can
be relied upon in choosing a cigar; and
that for the average man, anxious to
find out whether a given Havana is of
good quality throughout and will burn
well, tho only test is to smoke it
