Chances opinion is shared by about
every one in Chicago. who saw the
game yesterday, and who watched the
two teams play last year. The Tigers
don't seem to class with the Cubs.
That tells the whole story.

DETROIT LOSES SECOND.
wild Bill, Donovan Blows up In
Eighth.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-After fighting
desperately for seven heart disease in
nings yesterday afternoon, Wild Bill
Donovan, the Detroit mainstay who
had allowed the desperate Cubs only
one measly hit. blew up in the eighth
and when the storm of hits had ceased
six Chicago players had counted on
home run, triple. double and three
singles Big Jeff Overall for the Cubs
was in grand form and he let the AM
erican leaguers down with four hits.
Detroit's only count came In the ninth
when Jones. batting for O'LeaTy. drew
a pass. went to second on Crawford's
out and scored on Cobb's hard single.
Crowd Very Small.
The crowd was in many ways. es-
pecially the size. disappointing one.
In spite OF the intense interest I'm she
game there were only 17,76O people
there and the receipts were only $26.-
927. This was distributed as follows:
Commission. $2.692.70; players
share. $14.540.5s; owners share, 81
$40. Sc, each.
The big factor in keeping the peo-
pie away was the belief that tickets
could not be obtained. Ticket brokers
secured many of the reserved seats
and sold them before the game for
from $5 10 SO each. All of the grand
stand seats were sold early, but there
were several hundred vacant bleacher
seats when the game began
There was great crush of people
at the park Sunday morning TO get
seats. Many had been standing in line
since 4 o'clock and the crowd reached
such great proportions that squad Of
$50 mounted police had to be called
out to handle the situation. Il was
figured at that time that the crowd
would break all records. but news OF
the crush spread all over the city and
thousands stayed away in the belief
that they could not possibly obtain ad-
mittance.

DERELICT MENACE

IN STEAMERS PATH
Hull of Burned St. Cuth-
bert Floating Off
Coast.

NEW YORK, Feb, 6,-The hulk of the
abandoned steamer St. Cuthbert. from
which the passengers We're rescued
Monday evening by the liner Cymric,
probably burned 10 the waters edge,
Is today q derehct, without sign OF
warning to other craft, directly in the
path of all transatlantic and coast
wise traffic. about 200 miles off the
Massachusetts coast.
This is the alarming report brought
here today by the Holland American
liner Statendam. Marine circles are
greatly agltateG over the report de-
Caring the wrecked st. CuthberI the
most dangerous 5erelict which has both
cred shipping in years.
y request Will probably be sent to
Washington at once asking that war
ships be dispatched 10 find and sink
The st. CuthbeTt.
When the St. Cuthbert was abandoned
Monday evening after her passengers
and crew had been rescued with Il loss
Of fourteen lives, her sea cocks were
opened, tt is claimed, and II was eX-
pscted she would sink within eight
hours. Twenty hours afterward the
Statendam sighted the derelict ablaze
from her bCwsprit to amidship. At that
time she had apparently drirted nearly
100 miles from the point where she was
abandoned, and lay directly in the path,
not only Of ali transatlantic steamers,
passengers and freight vessels, but in
the course OF steamers from Nova
Scotia and other northern ports.
The exact position OF the derelict, as
reported by the Statendam, was latl-
tude 42I3 north, and longitude q.
This point IS almost directly east Of
cane Cod. and almost south OF Cape
Sable.
Transatlantic steamers generally hit
straight for Sable Island, and after re-
porting there by wireless come down
the coast to New York.
The Statendam circled the derelict for
an hour, then seeing no signs or life,
continued her course. With her steel
hull Il is exceedingly doubtful whether
the vessel viii sink after the fire had
burned itself out.
Apparently the opening OF the sea-
cocks had not caused the hull to fill
with water. as was expected, and il is
supposed here the valves were out Of
order. being swollen by tho intense
heat, and that they failed TO work.
The size of the ST Cuthbert. and the
fact that she has by this time prob
ably burned nearly to the waters edge,
and must lie almost even with the sur
face, makes shipping men here think
she probably offers the greatest danger
TO shipping IN years. With the fOgs
prevailing about Cape Cod and Nova
Scotia at this period Of the year the
danger Is regarded as even greater than
usual.
