CONTEST
FOR TITLE
IS NOW ON

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct s.-Pittsburg
claims TO be the center OF the base
ball world and all eyes in Pittsburg
are conferred on two men.
These two men are Fred Clarke, the
leader OF the Pirates. and Hughey Jen-
nings, the life center OF the Detroit
Tigers. These two baseball generals
will lead their cohorts out to Forbes
field this afternoon. there to take up
the battle for the championship Of the
baseball world.
Today Pittsburg will go out to Forbes
field Tt will practically be holiday
IN business houses, factories and shops.
The largest and most complete baseball
plant in the world is expected to be
shown up az mere speck OF place
so large will be the crowd. When the
groundkeepers at Forbes field left their
work at 6 o'clock last night they were
met at the gates by long line of fans
who intended to walt all night so as
to be the first to get inside when the
park opened this morning.
Everybody Going to the Game.
Every one in Pittsburg is going to
the game, or would go if they could
get seats Pittshurg claims TO be the
center of the baseball world. and 1t
surely is proving its assertion.
Last night Pittsburg was confident
that Fred Clarke and his squad of
worldwind sluggers will be able to
capture this title without much of a
contest.
Opposed to the confidence of the fans
who back the home team is the loyal
spirit of a handful of Detroit rooters,
who have travelled from Michigan to
the Smoky City to show Jennings and
his band they are with them in the
great fight.
Both leaders will strive to win the
opening game today. Each one figures
that a win today will give them a big
advantage in the fight for the title.
Today's game will be the ten strike of
the series.

KETCHEL IS PICKED
TO STAY IS ROUNDS
Even Money on Proposition
Finds Takers at Frisco;
Study Johnson Record.

San Francisco, Oct. SIN the bet
ting on the KetcheI-Johnson fight spec
ulation seems to be confined as to the
length of the fight. Even money that
Ketchel will or will not last fifteen
rounds. and it is said a man does not
have to wait long to have his money
taken. no matter how he wants to bet
on this particular phase of the battle.
AS far as can be learned Ketchel
money is plentiful, and 1t may be that
within a day or two the middelwelght
champions friends will be Offering even
money that he will be on deck at the
end of the sixteenth round
This is all due, no doubt. to a study
of Johnson's past record. In his fights
on the coast especially whenever he
was matched to go twenty rounds, he
rarely won by knockout. AS mat
ter of fact, nearly every man he faced
lasted the full twenty rounds. al
though johnson by dint of cleverness
gained the decision.
Everett Goes the Limit.
Back in 1902 Peter Everett, who
would be more quickly recognized if
called him Mexican Pete, went twenty
rounds with the man who is now
champion at Old Woodward's pavilion.
Hank Griffith. who was never much Of
a demon in the ring, also stood twenty
rounds before Johnson in that year, and
afterwards went fifteen rounds, which
was all the articles called for The
fights with Griffin took place at Los
Angeles and in each case Johnson won
or points.
In that particular year Johnson's
record was not entirely devoid of
lknockouts. however. He finished Joe
Kennedy twice in four rounds-once
in Oakland and once in San Francisco
and he knocked out Jack Jeffries. a
brother of the retired champion. in nine
rounds at Los Angeles.
In 1902 Johnson's record is full OF
twenty round decisions. DeAver Ed
Martin lasted that long with him in
Los Angeles and sam. Mcvey was twice
defeated by Johnson at the same place
In twenty rounds. It was in this year
that Johnson and Big Ferguson did
their twenty round clown act at Colma.
In the following year Johnson did up
sam Mcvey in the twentieth round OF
a contest at Mechanics pavilion in this
city. In 1906 Johnson lost to Marvin
Hart in a twenty-round bout at Wood
wards pavilion.
Wins in the Fourth Round.
The shortest fight Johnson figured in
In San Francisco was his four rounds
with Joe Kennedy. He knocked out
lin Flynn in ten rounds IN Cofroth' s
arena. and his last battle IN this neck
OF the woods was his ten-round affair
with Al kaufman

farnsnce where the articles called for

Netting that he VII not dispose OF

still yesterday afternoon. Coach Speik
has made many changes in the lineup
since the Chicago game. Goebel has
been shifted from end to quarter back,
replacing Geupel. He is fast and &C

his present position. Eisensmfth. Trees
and Froelich are fighting for end po-
sitions. Kassebaum has been shifted
from full back to guard and Smith is
playing the back field position. The
boilermaker rooters look for the team
to win from Northwestern, but not by
a wide margin.

Repair Liberty Belli

Mayor Ray born has been ap-
preached witha proposition to
repair the crack in the Liberty
Bell. A Europeauflrm guarantees
to make it as good as new"
To what end? There is but one
purpose to be gained from such
patching, that OF reclaiming the
peal of the treasured old relic,
while on the other hand the OBJ
jections against the proposalare
many. That they are, Tor the
most part, sentimental does not
make them any less important.
The very crack itself is historic,
1t is in every picture ever made
of the bell. Every school toy
knows that it occurred while the
bell was being tolled during the
funeral services Of Chief Justice
Marshall. To place it where its
peal could he heard would neces'
state putting it where it could
not be easily viewed. 1t has fol-
years served as On object lesson

too, the danger that in being re-
paired it might be irretrievablJ
