The two Chicagos the real thing. Betting is two to one on Chicago Nationals.
 Chicago Americans have friends however who will be in on the betting.
 Pittsburg was the favorite over the Boston Americans when the world se- ries was played. but the. Bostons proved great finishers and took all the money.
 John Gunshannon will be proud man up in Hartford to-day for it was through his efforts the game for the hospital fund was started. John was always a hustler and his many friends in this city hope the game this after noon will be the biggest success ever attained in any city.
 Hartford will have big game to- day when the Washington and Phila- delphia teams will battle for q S1.OO0 purse, put up by Hartford people. The game will be for the benefit of the hospital fund and thousands of tickets have been sold. The winning team will take 5000 and the lossers $i00 of the purse.

GRIDIRON NOTES.

Princeton was up against 1t Satur. day. villanova gave Swarthmore a big scare Saturday.
 Fort Hamilton will probably do better next Sunday.
 Jack" Harmon broke through his man whenever he wished.
 Crosby High has its first scrim- mage of the season this afternoon. Captain Greene of Penn was forced to retire because of an injured knee. Small crowd because of the bum service. The weather also helped to keep down the attendance. Manager Mike" Slavin was hot under the collar because of the troll ley service. Who could have blamed him?
 Shelbe. quarterback for Pennsyl- vania. was put out of the game Sat- urday for resenting tackle in the back field.
 Harrington. right guard on the Fort Terry Terry team. had his head badly cut in the second half and Yas forced to retire.
 That Fort Terry team is an awful false alarm. Bad enough last year. but completely covered with lemon juice yesterday.
 The Indians were expected to be greatly favored by the new rules. Penn State defeated them Saturday by the score of { to Q.
 Dartmouth proved too strong for Holy Gross. making up for the trim ming which she suffered at the hands of the worcesterites last season.
 Waterbury should have one man to kick the goals and not do as last year. when a change was made every time a goal was missed.
 In the west the forward pass Is not much thought of. In the game be- tween Michigan and the Case Scien- tific school Saturday 1t was not tried once

END OF THE
 NATIONAL GAME
The Two Chicagos Will Fight For Premiership Results of Games
 and Other News.

Chicago, Oct S.-The baseball sea-
 son of both major leagues ended yes-
 terday with games at Chicago, St Louis and Cincinnati For the first time since the two big leagues have been organized, both championships nave come to one city. The Chicago
 National league team won first hon.
 ors in that organization easily. Talk
 Ing the lead early in June and hold
 ing 1t to the end, it established a new
 major league record for the number
 or games won. Of the 153 games
 played by the team, 116 were victor les. The previous best record in this
 respect was held by the New York club in the same league.
 In the American league, the con-
 test was not decided until last week,
 the New York team being within striking distance of Chicago until October 3, when a defeat at Ph!la- delphia put them out of the running. An equally hard struggle for second place was not decided until two days later, when Chicago defeated Cleve- land and took away the Ohio clubs last chance to overhaul New York.
 The fourth and fifth teams, Phila- delphia and St Louis were within hailing distance throughout the sea- son, Philadelphia, in fact, leading the league on three separate occasions, the last time August 5. Washington and Boston dropped behind early in the race. In the National league out side of Chicago's work, the chief fea- ture of the season was the hard struggle for second place between New York and Pittsburg. This last ed until the first week in September, when the latter team fell back. The other five clubs in the league occu- pied the same relative positions throughout most of the season, al- though Brooklyn and Cincinnati fin- ished with but one game between them for fifth and sixth places re- spectively. St Louis was never a and the Boston clubs rec ord of 102 defeats was only exceeded by that of the same club in the American league.
 Tuesday the worlds championship series will be begun between the two Chicago clubs. The first game will be played on the National league grounds. Another interleague series is scheduled for St Louis. The con- tests there will start to-day.

MANY NEW BUILDINGS.
Greatest Building Boom in Worlds.
 History-Cheap Construction.

New York. Oct S.-Never before
 in the history of5the world has there
 been such a boom in building con.
 struction as is now taking place fin
 the United States. From all parts of
 the country reports are coming in
 which show that billions of dollars
 are being spent in the endeavor to
 provide homes for population which
 is increasing by leaps and bounds.
 Chicago is enjoying boom with
 out parallel in the history of that
 city. Baltimore has just been cele- bratfng its reAifa rkable rise from the
 ashes of the great fire. San Fran cisco bids fair to excel Baltimore's record. New York is constructing new sky-scrapers representing in- vestments amounting to $10O,0OO- 900, while the city and outlying borough builders are expending in average of $150,000,00O a year in hotels. apartment houses, dwellings. etc. The total number of buildings throughout the country is close to 12,000,000. valued at nearly S15.. 900, 1000, 900.
 The materials used in many of the new. buildings are of such fiimsy character that. in spite of all efforts, the terrible fire kaste of this country has continued unchecked. until 1t now averages $200, ,000, 900 a year. The National Fire Protection associa- tion, in an endeavor to reduce these losses, makes an urgent appeal to all interested to cooperate in bring ing about better conditions by adopt ing improved methods of construc- ton; 1t also recommends that muni- cipalities pass ordinances involving the adoption of an improved building code along the lines of the building code recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
 The need for such ordinances was shown in the recent col- lapse of concrete garage while In of construction at Mineola, L. l. Five men were killed and eight badly injured. It was learned after the collapse that some of the men mixing the concrete refused to go on, saying that the proportion of cement mixed with the gravel and loam was not enough to solidify 1t. Workmen said that the work was being rushed with such haste that sufficient time was not allowed for the concrete to harden.
 People are beginning to ask, When Is this sort of thing going to stop? Since the collapse of the Darlington hotel, in March. 1904. the exceed Ingly treacherous nature of concrete. unless mixed in strict accordance with the formulas of standard engi- neering, has been shown Tn similar ,ollapses all over the country, es- ,ecially in view of the vast amount ,f money being put into new build ngs. that the National Congress of Architects. at a recent meeting in london. adopted the following reso- utions:
 That an inquiry into the cases of allure of reinforced concrete and heir causes would be most desirable.
 That where reinforced concrete is intended to be fire-resisting the yreatest possible care must be taken IS to the nature of the aggregate and Is size. and also as to the protection f the steel.

SATURDAY FOOTBALL GAMES.

sFOotball results Saturday were of all sorts, and reports generally along the line were favorable to the new rules. The revised code make for in creased variety of play, which same was much in evidence Saturday. There were games so close they were ties with no scoring, but more games in which the scoring ranged from slight to wholesale. It is quite likely that the amount of scoring done will. in the aggregate, total up as much in points as for the same number of games under the old rules in preced- ing years. The scores:

WAR REACTION IN JAPAN
A PANIC is IMPENDING
Financial Depression - Suggests
That Currency Be Contracted and
Treasury Bills Issued.
Publishers Press.l

victoria, II. -, lee. 2T.--In recent
interview Baron Shibbusawa, a promi-
nent Japanese economist. predicts a
financial panic in Japan as result Of
the reaction Of the war, just begun to
be felt. He said bankers are respon-
sible for stimulating a mania for pro-
motion of new undertakings. which
mas reached feverish heat. has no out
let, and which is bound to succumb
when support Is withdrawn. He sug
gested that, in order to prevent .
panic or reduce it to a minimum. cur
rency be contracted SO far as possible
and treasury bills to the amount OF
S25, 00o, 900 be issued. While this is
considered burdensome. he says it is
the only course to avert disaster and
c. ashes when reaction comes.
