Secret Practice.
Journal Special Service.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Again were the maroons
put thru hard practice behind tightly closed
portals, and again did Coach Stage and his
righthand hacker, Professor Hatcher. emerge
from. behind the same closed gates with their
faces wreathed in angelic smiles:
When asked why the smile, Coach Stage re-
piled: well, I think we are gradually whip
ping a winning team into shape. Every day
the men get into the plays and are forgetting
the fact that they are eleven men and only re-.
membering that they are a machine to play
football.
81 spent the greater part Of the time in CIV
ing the regulars practice in defensive work.
They have hadsplenty Of opportunity in the early
games to practice offensive work, but as yet
they have had no opportunity to get much prac-
tice on the defense For this reason I gave the
freshmen the ball, and they. worked against
the regulars line for nearly threequarters of
an hour and were only able to score once, Stef-
fen finally going over on quarterback rum
That the men had been given plenty of work
was apparent by their tuckered-out appearance
as they left the field Every one was COM
pletcly exhausted The only member of the
regulars now missing is De Tray. who Is still
laid up with sore throat.
The general opinion of the rooters Is that
Chicago will put a large on Indiana, de-
spite Jimmy Sheldon's knowledge Of the maroon
plays. Some Of the more enthusiastic predict
5O-to-0 score.

MILLIONS INVOLVED
IN NEW TURF FIGHT
Journal Special Service. !.

Journal Special Service 5ss;sss
New York, Oct. 1s.-When Matt J. Wynn
Of Louisville, president of the American Turf
nd %s s gsw he bar def
According to statements from Louisville, Mr..
Wynn. Who besides a being president Of nthe
American Turf association, is the active head
of the Louisville Jockey club Intends to swoop
down upon New York with a view to forming
company with $1,000, 900 capital to handle and
control all:z the racing wires in the west which
furnish news of the events to several hum
dred poolrooms thruout the country. E
The deal Is supposed to involve about Sc, OO0,-
000ta year. All the members Of the American
Western Union company handled these returns
from the western we'll from the eastern
tracks on the understanding that they were to
pay to the tracko WI 50 per day for each
or less dissatisfaction between the tracks and
the company's handling the news, the track
owners invariably being under the impression
that they did not get all that was coming to
them - ....~ 49,.
When the Western Union stopped the direct
handling of this poolroom news with the be-
ginning of the Louisville meeting, there was a
scramble among several factions ''in the know
to succeed them. One Of these factions had
its headquarters in New York, and second
faction. was headed by a crowd in which is
Dave" Mitchell. until week or SO ago head
Of the Western Union racing department.
The first faction says it's plan of action was
lthoroly. legitimate, and contemplated the COM
plete protection of the American Turf associa-
ton. whose support it had. Now the charge
is made of underhand methods the part of
the other crowd 1t was contended that tho
the New Workers had the privilege of handling
the news from the tracks, they could not handle
it, while the Johnny Payne crowd, Juggling
with the name of Mitchell openly vowed that
they were not only able to handle the news,
but would handle it5over Western Union wires,
and so they swept into the saddle.
However this may be, it is fact that for
the last ten days they have been handling the
racing news from Latonia, and it is a fact
that the news is coming-and is being served
to every poolroom in New York city, well
as to quite number thru the country. The
New Ycrkers have not been asleep however
will shake the country from end to end.

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-Playing the finest base
ball seen hereabouts for many day, the giants
won the third game of the series for the worlds
championship with the Athletics at Columbia
park yesterday by the score of to o.
Mathewson pitched. The things he put over
the plate were simply unhittable. Eleven thou
sand people sat as If at funeral ceremony and
saw the New Yorks gallop off with the game.
Coakley pitched what under ordinary circum-
stances would have been considered a fine game
He had speed, he had curves. he had confidence
But these were of no avail against man like
Mathewson was today. He simply had the Ath-
letics mesmerized.
The mighty Lord, who practically won the
game with his bat at the polo grounds. struck
out three times On the contrary, McGann
who could not come within foot of Bender's
curves hit Coakley for two singles and
double.
Outside of their inability to hit Mathewson
the Athletics played rather ragged game.
This was especially true of Murphy. In the very
T first inning he had mortal combat with a
grounder from Mertes' mat In which he got the
worst of it, and run resulted. In the fifth
inning he had another alteration with hor
one from Browns stick and another from Nc
Gam, which let in two more runs. In baserun'
ming McGraw's men simply foosled the other EEL
lows all the way thru.
| The actual count Of attendance was 10, 997.
The receipts were $s,4Ss, Of which the players
get $4,000, while the great and glorious "com.
| mission under whose royal eyebrows the thing
came of, got about thousand dollars.
| At no time in the nine innings were the Ath
| letics able to touch Mathewson and not mar
| reached third base during the entire game.

DISCOVERED PLOT
TO WRECK RACER
Pope Toledo Mechanics Find a
Waste Clot in Lyttle's Van

journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Mineola, L. l.. Oct. 13-The discovery of a
handful of cotton waste stuffed In the main cyl
inder gasoline pipe Of the 90-horsepower Pope
Toledo car to be driven by Fl. H. Lyttle In the
race for the Vanderbilt cup tomorrow leads to
the belief that q deep-laid plot to damage the
machine was revealed
The cotton waste was jammed tightly into the
pipe, 30 that 1t required considerable force to
remove 1t. Those in charge of the car say
that the presence Of the obstruction could not
have been due to an accident oversight on the
part of the mechanics.
The Pope Toledo garage lies between this
town and Garden City. Great efforts were made
on the part of the managers Of the Pope To-
ledo machines to keep the affair a secret but
a quiet investigation which they started at once
caused the news to leak out.
It was the opinion of experts who heard of
the occurrence that had the cotton waste reached
the cylinders while the car travelling at high
speed it would have meant certain destruction
to the machine and probably death to the driver
and assistant.
