Incidents of the Game.

In the history of baseball no game
 was ever played with such spectac- ular setting. The Polo grounds were packed to the limit and a hundred thousand persons watched the Battle on the diamond from points of vant-
 age on the surrounding bluffs, the I"L" structure, atop elevated trains,
 on roofs and perched in trees.
 While these hundred thousand
 watched another fifty thousand
 stormed the locked gates and high fences. A hundred policemen threw
 themselves in front of the gates and
 battled for two hours with the excit-
 ed throng. The fences were not so
 well protected and in two instances
 were battered down and torn to kind ling in the twinkling of an eye. Through these breaches swarmed hundreds of men and boys who dash
 ed for the field and got there safely
 before police endorsements could be hurried up.
 The fire hose was brought into play and a three-inch stream of water
 turned on the thousands who were
 waiting for moment when they, too, could make an attack on the fences.
 Even then they stood their ground
 until drenched to the skin. The at tack on the barrieade and battle with
 water took place on the south side of
 the grounds in the big vacant lots
 adjoining the Polo grounds.
 When the police were withdrawn from the Eighth avenue side to repel the invaders. trouble immediately be-
 gan there. The crowd pushed and
 damned against the big gates until 1t seemed as though something must give way Mounted policemen were sent to do battle there, giving aid to the cops on foot. Forcing their horses through the crowd they form ed line In front of the gates and did eIfectual work. Big timbers were

CHARLEY MURPHY SAYS.
Glad We Won, but the New Yorks
 Gave Us a Good Scrap.

Charles w. Murphy. president of the Chicago club. said last night: Manager Chance deserves a world of credit for his generalship, individual play and incessant earnestness. Dur ing the season just passed we had be- tween seventy and eighty serious ac- cidents, and in very few games in- deed have we been able to present our full lineup on the field. can readily understand why every loyal Chica- goan thinks so much of the Cubs.
 "The New York Giants have put up a great fight and Manager Nc Graw and his men deserve the con- mendation, good will and support of all loyal New Workers. They fought us to a finish, but in my judgment the better team won. I am glad our vic tory was a decisive one, so that 1t cannot be charged to anything of a technical nature.
 We will go into the worlds series Tn good condition and confident .of success, and if we should be defeated we will have no excuse to offer.
 '1 want publicly to extend congrat- ulations to President Brush. Manager McGraw and all the New York play CTS for the wonderful battle that they made for the flag in 1908.
 Notwithstanding that we won de- cisiyely from Detroit year ago, we feel that that team has been greatly strengthened and that they will give us a hard battle for the highest hon. DTS in professional baseball. We ex- pect to win, but realize that we will have to extend ourselves to the limit in order once more to secure the high. est honor in the national game"
 The Chicagoes hardly had returned to their hotel and finished their din. ner last night when they turned their attention to the games they have yet to play. President Murphy was busy for a while on the telegraph wires and long distance telephone trying to find out where the first game of the worlds series with the Detroits would be played.
 As soon as he learned that Detroit would be the place he made arrange

PANAMA AND ERIE CANALS
Magnitude of the New York Enter
 prise.

prise.
 Public attention has been so strongly centered upon the progress of the Panama canal, that the people of this state, and particular ly of New York city, have failed to realize either the magnitude of the work involved in the reconstruction of the Erie canal, or the extensive scale upon which the work Is now being prosecuted. A comparison of the total quantities taken out of the two canals, during the years they have been in course of construction, shows that the state enterprise IS quite comparable, in the magnitude of it's operations, with that now be- ing carried on by the federal author ities. Active construction began on the Panama canal in 1904 and on the Erie barge canal in 1905. Dur ing the first year of work at Panama 243,472 cubic. yards were taken out; while 716,676 cubic yards were ex- cavated during the first year of work on the barge canal. During the sec ond years work, 1,799,227 cubic yards were taken out at Panama, and 1,460,7O5 cubic yards from the barge canal. During the third year of work, the totals were respective ly, 4,948,497 cubic yards and 4,500,- 459 cubic yards. In the fourth year 15,764,098 cubic yards were re- moved at Panama. As 1908 was the fourth year of work on the Erie barge canal, the totals, of course, cannot as yet be given; but in July the total excavation was 1,067, III cubic yards, or 99 per cent of the amount taken out at Panama for July, 1907, which was 1,076,767 cubic yards. In August of this year the total expenditure was 1,091, ,89l cubic yards. as compared with 1,271. 966 cubic yards taken out at Pana- mo during August of last year. In this comparison the important point should not be overlooked that the New York state enterprise contains in it's 442 miles of length much larger number of structures com pared to the amount of excavation than does the Panama canal, the ex- cayation of the Erie barge canal, rep resenting only 40 per cent of the total cost of the work. In both of these enterprises the seeming delay in starting the work of active con- struction was due to the enormous amount of preparatory work in the prosecution of surveys, preparation of plans and estimates, and the pur- chase and placing on the ground Of the enormous plant and supplies.

WRESTLING.
Swanson Easily Proves Bonefant's
 Master.

Naugatuck, Oct 9.-Alex Swan son of New York defeated Young Bonefant of New Britain here last evening in wrestling match at catch weights in two straight falls, the first being secured in 10 min utes with a body hold and the sec ond in 19 minutes with head | barlock hold Swanson outweighed his opponent by about 15 pounds. Bonefant showed that he know con siderable about the game, but Swan son proved to be too fast for him, and the New Britain wrestler was called upon several times to exert himself in order to get out of some tight places.
 In the preliminaries, Jack Roach of Waterbury defeated Cherland of New Britain in one fall, which was secured in 30 minutes.
 Young Lawson of this place lost two straight falls to Young Thurs ton, also of Naugatuck The latter showed up well and he kept his op- ponent on the defensive most of the time. The attendance was about 400.

New York Lost Last.

Washington. Oct 9. 9.-Washington took the fourth straight game from the New Yorks yesterday, to 5, in a rather poorly played contest.
 The locals landed on Lake hard in the initial inning. scoring three runs. The New Yorks got their first run in the second round, when O'Rourke reached first base on McBride's error, was sacrificed to second by Blair and came home on Donovan's safety.
 The. Washingtons scored again in the third on hits by Freeman, Nc Bride, an out and fielder's choice. In their half of this inning the High landers tied the score. Moriarty hit for base, O'Rourke was safe on Mi lan's error, Blair went out, Keeley to Freeman, Donovan doubled, scoring Moriarty, O'Rourke coming home on Sweeney's out, Unglaub to Freeman, and Donovan bringing in the tying run when Mcbride failed to handle Lakes hot grounder. Neither team tallied again until the eighth, when the Nationals put over two more on singles by Mcbride, Shipke and Keel ey, winning the game. 'ar

MAY BEAR ARMS.
Sailors of Italian Cruiser Will March Through Bridgeport Streets.

Bridgeport, Oct 9.-Grand Mar .shal Louis E. Richards of the Colum- bus day celebration received verbal permission yesterday afternoon from Governor Woodruff for the blue jackets of the Italian cruiser Ettore Fieramosca to bear arms while pa- rading in this city next Monday. It will be necessary for the blue jack cts from the U. s. s. New Hamp- shire to participate in the parade, as it would be contrary to custom for the sailors of one power to na- rade in foreign country unless ac- cornpanied by soldiers or sailors of that country. The local companies of coast artillery have been invited to participate in the parade, but the committee has not received word from them in reply as yet.
 The naval battalion of this city, under command of Frederick A. Bartlett will be in the line, and the U. s. gunboat Machias, which is now being used as practice ship for the naval battalion, will anchor near the Italian, cruiser. .A,4.
 Grand Marshal Richards is the business man in town these days, and already he1has the promise of a number of contributions from Ital- fans who want to see the celebra- tion made great success. He IS making many of the arrangements for the sacred concert to be held in Smiths theater next Sunday night, and many of the most prominent of the Italians of the city have assured him they would decorate their homes and places of business, as the plan is to give the officers of the Italian and American war vessels an auto mobile ride about the city next Sat urday afternoon. Even though the line of march to be laid out by the committee next Thursday does not take in all of the streets where buildings are decorated, they will show sign of welcome to the visit ing officers.
 Two, large barges have. been se- cured to be used as landing stages alongside of: the war vessels. The steamers carrying excursionists to the ships win be disembarked along side the barges and access will be gained to the vessels from the barges by means of gangplanks.

CHICAGO BASE BALL MAD.
Victory of the Cubs Drives Inhabi-
 tants Wild With Joy.

Chicago, Oct 9.-This city was base ball crazy last night as result of the Cubs victory in New York. The eyes of every man, woman and child in town were turned toward the score boards and other places where news from the game could be ob- tained in the afternoon. Orchestra hall, where the game was reproduced by an electrical device, was jammed.
 Tickers in saloons, restaurants, hotel Hobbies, brokers offices and other places were watched by eager throngs. Commission houses in La Sale street fortunate enough to con- trol leased wire to New York were crowded by brokers, traders, clerks and others eagerly awaiting news from the scene of battle.
 In the betting the New York team was favorite, at to 4. Large sums of money were placed at these odds, the small bettors being willing to take even money. As good as to was secured after Pfiester's poor showing in the first JHSh puiNhiy ohAt'NN when Brown went in to pitch and the Cubs scored four runs in the third inning.
 Exaggerated stories were printed here of the misunderstanding be- tween Chance and McGinnity before the game started, and the cry was rapidly spread that the Cubs were being robbed.
 A monster demonstration will be accorded the Cubs on their arrival here Sunday morning from Detroit, whether they win or lose the first game there.
 The White Sox team, which had been kept in constant practice since their defeat by Detroit on Tuesday, with view of playing the Cubs for the city championship, will make a transforming tour through the north | west.

IRISH HOME RULE.
In 15 Years. Says Redmond Who Sails
 for Home.

New York, Oct 9.-After having spent nearly month touring the United States in behalf of home rule for Ireland, John E. Redmond, the noted Irish nationalist, and his wife, sailed yesterday on the White Star liner Cedric.
 My last word to the people of the United States Is that Ireland will have home rule within fifteen years" he said. "The success of the movement is not in doubt now. And this suc- cess is largely due to the moral and financial support of the United States"
 During my short visit here I have collected $100,000.. Of this amount s20,O00 was sent to Ireland ysster- day. The money will be used in fur thering the election to parliament of men who sympathize with the Irish cause. There is where we are to- win the fight but we can't win until we get legislators, who sympathize with our cause"
 At this point a facetious reporter interrupted MT Redmond to ask why it was that man of his convictions was sailing on the Cedric, an English boat.
 q .'Well, my boy, that question isn't out of order," he replied. T have a special reason for wanting to sail on the Cedric. That reason Is that every bit of steel and timber in her was put into place by Irish workmen. She was built at Belfast" stSA.cs 4si..
 Mrs Redmond, who is noted beauty, was asked to give her views on American women as compared with the women of Ireland.
 There is no need of comparison she replied. T think that American women are the most beautiful in the world, and so are the women of Ire land. The Irish woman's natural place is that of a wife; for she makes a good wife. Many of you American men have found this out yourself.
 Accompanying MT Redmond on the Cedris are John Fitzgibbons, John H. Seaverns and Joseph E. Devlin.
 MT Redmond said he knew both leading candidates for president.
 "Mr Bryan I know particularly we'll" said he, and in my judg- ment the American people could make no mistake in putting him at the head of their government"
