CLEVELAND VIRTUALLY KILLS
ATHLETICS REMNANT HOPES

PHILADELPHIA, October 3.-Cleveiand
defeated the Athletics by a score of 4 to 3
yesterday, and the pennant hopes of the
Athletics went glimmering.
The Athletics made a brave fight to
stave of impending defeat, but the steadi-

too great a stumbling block. Plank out

England next year. The last time a Phil

1903, and the tour was a success, as the
majority of the atches were won.

1t was in this inning that one Mr.
O'Leary robbed Veteran Warner of hit
labeled Texas Lacquer" 1t was 4 fine
running catch. Hard luck, Jack.
That Georgia eraker Cobb. with his hit
ting and base running, made some of the
older ones sit up and take notice. He got
seven hits, one of them double. and stole
four bases. That's going soma.
In the sixth inning of the first game
c. Jones laced a triple to center that was
peach. 1t struck about two feet from the
fence.
There was much doing in the bIeachers
when some one had the temarity to start
home bedecked with a straw lid. Peanuts
and other missiles were thrown. but the
"behind-t season" chap escaped without
serious injury.

Baltimore was very much in evidence at
the park yesterday. Wilbert Robinson and
Jack Dunn headed delegation from that
city. Robinson wanted to see his old friend
Jennings, and 1t is said Dunn was here try

When Jennings was seen by a reporter
today he was in a laxative mood, not any
more than he usually is. but it seemed that
things had just looSened up inside of him.
He is so sure of the pennant now that no

Clean and Timely Hitting.

some or the cleanest and most timely hit
ting ever seen here, or anywhere for that
matter occurred during the melee yesterday.
'1here wasn't any particular place the Ii
gers put their safeties; they just slammed
the sphere TO all corners of the lot Her
man Schaefer, particularly was very much
IN evidence. Out of nine times at bat yes
terday he got eight hits. Tyrus Cobb
WASH Iar behind him Out of ten times at
the bat he got seven hits, one of them a don

rubber, the Tigers ate him up In the frs;
game he tried three and in the second two
kiIllan had his troubles in the first He
was pulled out and Mullin was entered i'm
the race. He wasn't headed from that time
TO the finish. And what he did to the Ma
tonals in the second on come back was
a caution.
1t was at the beginning of the first game
that the Nationals started to take liberties
with Eddie Killian's curves. Hughey wasn't
taxing any chances, and pulled out Killian
In favor OF Mullln. The big fellow was right
on his mettle, and there wasn't ANYTHING
doing much with his delivery Charlie
Smith started for the Nationals but was
taken out after two hits had been made off
him In the first. Falkenberg took his place
and lasted only four innings Patton re-
placed the Human Match and lasted until
the ninth, when Oberlin was put in TO fin
ish the game. not that there was any
chance of stemming the tide. but to get him
warmed up for the second game.
IL was IN the nrst inning of the first game
tndt the IlSers got sducy- They took q lik-
Ing 10 c. Smiths curves and other mix
lures, and got two on bases without any
one out. Then Mr., Falkenberg came to the
front. They all looked alike to the pennant
chasers, and when the smoke cleared away
three runs had been registered. Much sor-
row for Mr.. Fake nberg. They scored again
in the third, fourth, fifth and eighth The
Nationals tried their best to get on the IL
gers back. but all they could do was TO give
the tail a very small twist. They started
their scoring in the first. when Blanken-
ship got his first single and scored Canley,
who had already placed a safe one They
scored again in the third and the sixth but
that ended their efforts.

Second Game.

In the second game Mullin asked his boss
II he could turn the trick again. and. being
given Permission. he proceeded to do it up
brown. All during the game the Nationals
did not have lOok-n. The Tigers went to
the bench. filled up on water. went to the
bat, blew off steam. and after the surplus
was exhausted the score board showed thrse
runs registered. and Mr.. Oberlin Joined the
other down-and-outs at the club house.
Charlie Smith, not to be outdone by Big
George. cssayed to come back and retrieve
his lost laureis. Nothing doing, however.
Two hits and two errors scored three more
runs for the Tigers. He then held them
safe after that until the ninth inning.
For fear the Nationals might get busy
and make Garrison finish in their half, the
Tigers haStod out four hits and with the
aid of two more errors scored four runs
and put the game on ice. The Nationals
were unable TO get to Mullins delivery I'M

The case against James Angus, charged
with disposing of stock which 1t is al
legged he did not own, will probably be dis
missed today.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Pierson
and Officers Hosiak and Ziegler. after in
vestigating the charges against Angus,

leniently

Yesterday he had a conference with
Schenck and the prosecuting attorney, in
which it was shown that Angus had been
swindled out of money he had invested in
a brokerage syndicate.
After taking all the facts into consider
alton the attorney decided he would drop
the suit, and today he will apply for the
dismissal of the case and the release of
the bond.

Affections at $1o,ooo-complaint

Oscar e. OFT, wealthy garage owner

sum of 100000
OFT claims that Henderson alienated his

1t is stated in the complaint that Hen
derson was friend of the family and
often called at the OFT home. Toward
the beginning of the year these visits,
according to OFT, became suspiciously
frequent He said nothing, but waited
until something should arise where he
would have reason to suspect the conduct
of Henderson. He was not permitted this
chance, however.
1t is said that in April last Mrs OFT
suddenly left her husband and a COM
Portable home and took up manicuring.
Her new residence was at the Hotel
Rose, where it is alleged all her bills
were paid by Henderson.

GETS HIS STAR BACK
AND GOVERNMENT LAND
Patroiman Croft Is Reinstated on Rec
omnendation of Chief After Going
to Yuma to Establish Hone-
stead Rights

Here's a good man and want him
back remarked Police Chief Edward
Kern to the police board yesterday as ne
transmitted the application Of former
Patrolman Bernard Chester Croft TO De
reinstated in the department.
Prior to entering the department Croft
entered some government land near
Yuma believing that he could acquire
title thereto by the use of the so-called
scrip, without the necessity of resi-
dence thereon.
After he had served. in the department
for time he learned that it was
necessary that he should take up his
residence upon the land, or lose his
rights, which he could hardly afford to
do the land being valuable, and not be-
ing a man of means.
He was accordingly permitted to sever
his connection with the department.
''As he has now completed the con-
ditions of the land law and as he made
a good officer while he was in the de-
partment (better than the average per-
son certifieo) and has had the experience,
/ recommend that his application re-
ceive favorable action said the chief.
The request was granted.
