HOW TO AVOID RED BUGS ON
YOUR CHICKENS.

Red bugs (called also chigoe,
chigrc. jigger. and several other
names) are frequently given as a
reason why chickens ha;ched late In
spring cannot be grown successfully
in the South. These little mites
can be avoided without great
trouble. so that chicken raisers can
have success with late hatched
chicks II they will. When the little
birds run among all sorts of green

and burrow into the flesh. causing

Chicago q, New York 2

NEW YORK, Oct. SIN the presence
of a record breaking crowd, which
swamped the polo grounds and left
many thousands outside, today's base
ball game was played in deadly earnest
straight baseball with no frllls-to
settle as tensely dramatic situation
as the most ardent lover Of the sport
could imagine. Chicago won and New
York lost the National league cham
pionship. The game was played in
the cheerful sunshine of an ideal base
ball day, before vast concourse OF
people, who carried with them the
hopes and fears accumulated day by
day in the closing weeks of q season.
The large black headlines In the
newspapers-New York 2. Chicago a.
are like mourning captions over the
story of some great personage'S death.
And yet probably Manager McGraw's
words after the game, in the unwonted
quiet of the training quarters where
the Giants were having their last show
ers and rubdowns, epitomizes the feel
ings Of the vast army of New York's 8
followers:
II do not feel badly about the game;
we merely lost something we had won
before"
Spectators who know the game, how
ever bitterly they may feel over the
tie decision, which made today's game
compulsory, seem to concede tonight
that the work of the Chicago team
practically was perfect. The Giants
were outplayed. Chicago, fresh from
rest and well-judged practice ana
coaching, was superb in form. Bril-
liant, errorless fielding, snappy base
running and opportune hitting in the
third inning won the game.
New York could not hit at critical
times. Mathewson, favorite of the
favorites, could not keep his invincible
arm power and the effect of a mo-
ment's lapse In the third inning could
not be overcome. McGraw's substitu-
tion of Wiltse in the box the last two
innings may or may not have been
wise. The home team needed a long
hit, needed the tremendous rallying
power which Mathewson has more than
once inspired in them at the very finish
and wrung victory from seeming de-
feat.
Immediately the gates swung open
hundreds upon hundreds fairly hurled
themselves into the inclosure. The
stands rapidly began to fill. By noon
the sale of tickets ended and soon
there was not seat-hardly standing
room. And out beyond the inclosure
every overtopping structure-chimneys
derricks, roofs-had their precariously
hung swarm of rooters.
Outside the grounds for an hour pre-
ceding the calling of the game at 2:45
o'clock there was an almost uncon-
trollable crush of many thousands.
Suddenly the corner gates to the dia-
mond were opened and hundreds
rushed madly to the sides of the field,

far away are practicing daily on the
courts, keeping In shape for the COM
Ing high school tournament. Among
those who were out with racquets
yesterday were Rodgers and Dawson,
the players OF last year who won the
singles and the doubles in last years
tourney. Mcguire, new man in
school, is rounding into form and has
a pretty serve for a newcomer.
A meeting of the San Bernardino
high school football team was held
yesterday to discuss the proposition
OF placing a second team in the Citrus
Belt league. AS yet, a. small squad
has turned out for practice and this
new plan was brought UP in order to
boost football into the limelight. A
great many of the boys so far have
failed to show enough spirit to enlist.
but 1t is hoped that with games with
Los Angeles high school the team
will take on a little encouragement.
Perry Jones hass,been elected tempo
rary captain and he says he will show
the first team a few points on the
gridiron.
The Pastime intercollegiate football
team will practice Sunday morning
at the corner of Figueroa and Wash
ington streets. and all players are re-
quested to be on hand at O'Clock
sharp. The management would like
to hear from a couple of good players.

ID EGARDLESS of the result of the
II, playoff yesterday of the alleged
- tie game between Chicago ano
New York the fact remains that the
partisans of McGraw are justified in
kicking. There never should have
been any such thing as a playoff, as
there never was q tie, according to all
] the rules of good sportsmanship. New
York won the game Of September %
just as fairly and honestly as any
! game ever was won. Merkie-may his
tribe never increase-caused 1t all
Had this mutton-headed excuse for a
ballplayer even attempted to run to
second from f1rst when he had nc
chance on earth of being put out, IN
this September 23d game the playOff
never would have been necessary. 1t
would have required a series of three
games to settle the championship.
New York fairly won the pennant and
yet was cheated out of 1t. Because
the National league directors had not
the nerve to choose between right and
wrong they called that game tie and
1t had to be played off. According to
all good sportsmanship, the Giants
either won the pennant or won the
right to a series of three games to
settle its ownership. Frank Chance
has a big bunch of Los Angeles
friends as has McGraw, and the par
tisans bet more money yesterday on
the result of the playoff than usually
is bet on big local fight.
However, since Chicago has won and
the decision is final, there is no sense
in kicking. 1t no longer is a case of
good sportsmanship or matter of
right and wrong. 1t is a case of re-
suits and Chance, as usual. wins out.
You have to hand it to this big buck.
He gets results and there is no ques-
tioning the good judgment of the
management Of the Cubs in recently
getting him to sign his name to con-
tract that makes 1t sure that he Will
direct the team four more years.
Chance took chance and won the
pennant and will add several thousand
dollars to the club treasury thereby
more than enough, in fact, to pay his
salary for couple of years. With
any other manager, no doubt, the Cubs
would have finished second. 1t was
good generalship that won the rag for
Chicago and that good generalship,
whether it be in good sportsmanship
or not, Is to be placed to the credit
of Frank Chance. He won the PEN
nant for Chicago.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when the game was all over In New
York, Chance sent his friend. Jim
Jeffries, a telegram saying: This Is
the day. Pull" JEFF sure did pull,
and he profited by his pulling. He
bet small wad on Chicago, while
Jack Ripper, big boob. bet his handy
bank roll on the McGraw waliopers.
Jeff laughs and Kip cries.
The aftermath of the National league
remnant fight Is as strong In Los An
peles. probably, where neither team
plays, as in the east, where the fans
ended up in the bughouse. No bug
house applications were noted yester-
day at the court house, but there was
SO much interest displayed in the re-
suit of the playoff between Chicago
sporting event was forgotten. This
was in part due to the fact that Nc
Graw and Chance are so well known
and liked locally and because this be-
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-09

got an interest In the finals that other
wise would not have attached to the
game. This made betting and created
an unusual degree OF interest. There
was more interest displayed in the
New York-Chicago game than in the
local game.
Since Chicago is to become the cham
pions of the National league. with De-
troit the winners in the American
league. interest now turns to the world
championship series. The same teams
played it off last year. Chicago win
ming. The result surely will be the
same this year. The champion team
in the American league does not class
with the champion team in the National
league. They did not win game last
year and will be lucky to do so in
the series about to be begun. Chicago,
the Cubs, of course, will hang onto
the world title with as much ease as
JEFF holds his indisputable title. This
is no tip. It is a fact.
Two notable examples of indiscreet
towel. f1inging have been shown in the
south recently and the discussion that
followed raises the question as to
whether second has the right to ac-
knowledge defeat for his principal
himself. Bat Johnson tried to hammer
off the heads of his manager and Sec
onds when they gave Barry the fight
with the big Russian last week. and
those at ringside who witnessed the
game battle of the Russian are un-
decided whether the towel was thrown
discreetly or not. Johnson says no,
and as he was far from being out at
the time the question is open to dis

ten-round limit. Willie Fairbanks
kicks in with the same sort of story.
He says that he could have gone on
to the limit with Howard Baker had
r been permitted to do so by his sec
onds. Regardless Of the contention OF
these fighters, the fact remains that
no fight should be stopped by the Sec
onds. The principal has the right to
lay down when he Is beaten, and the
seconds should not be permitted to
toss towel In the ring and end a
fight whenever they become excited.
This liberty of seconds should be
abridged or wholly cut out. Let the
unlucky fighter take the count when
necessary and do not deprive his op-
ponent of the credit OF a knockout or
permit the bettors to howl because Of
the chance that they might have won
had the seconds not interfered.
Billy Roche, famous because he once
had something to do with the San
Francisco fight trust, which should be
suppressed by the board of health. is
in Los Angeles with the Nelson Cans
moving pictures and is a most agree
able chap, because he is so funny. He
says that he never steps into a ring
to referee fight without getting his

Despite the fact that he has been no.
toriously absent at all recent Frisco
fights, his price" may be deemed too
high, and despite that he is a good

ployers must be commended. If Roche
is worth $3.50, what would Tommy
