err i expect to develop into his best

Thomas, it appears, was held in re-
serve for the worlds series. Mack used
Livingston and Lapp so much during
the American Leagnue season that it
was generally accepted fact that one or
the other would do all the catching in
the worlds series. That was why the
critics couldn't make themselves believe
the Cubs, with Killing and Archer, would
be outclassed behind the bat. They evil
IDENTIFY forgot all about the powerfully
built New Highlander. who cut down the
Cub base runners and handled Bender and
Coombs in superb fashion. In Thomas
Mack sprung a star catcher-a heady
Merry. quick-witted worker, who has been
an important factor in the triumph OF the
Athletics Furthermore. Mack has proved
that the Athletics apparently are without
a weak spot His great team can hit the
bail, field, run bases and display every
angle of inside ball Invincible in bat
teries, the Athletics therefore have out
classed the Cubs.
It's an old saying that a team with
baseman should come very near winning
d pennant- Macks team meets all these
requirements.

SHAKE-UP FOR CUBS
Manager Chance on Hunt for
New Ball Players.
ARCHER TO RELIEVE Killing
Chicago Club Figures It Must Make
Many Changes to Be in
Race Again.

CHICAGO, October 26.-Only one
thought animates Manager Frank Chance
of the defeated Chicago Cubs, and that is
to build up his team to its former
strength and have it once more acclaim
ed the champion of the world He
realizes that he has a herculean task on
his hands, but Chance likes a fight as
well as the next one, and Is already
planning his 1911 campaign,
1t is taken for granted that there will
be several new faces in the Cubs line
up next year, and it is probable that the
changes will be most apparent in the
pitchers box. The great work of Schultz.
Sheckard and Hoffman in the outfield
during the series with the Athletic team
makes this trio look good for another
season, but it would surprise no one if
either Sheckard or Schultz were passed
up for a younger player. Certain it is
that Chance will try out more new out
fielders next year than FOR several years.
Harry Steinfeldt Will undoubtedly give
way to new man at third, and this
man will in all proba bility be Heine Zim-
norman. VINO in his trial at third this
year played great ball.
If E,VerS' leg RECEIVERS little Johnny
will, Of course, be at second base again,
but there is much doubt as To whether
his broken limb will ever permit him
to shine in former years. Several
new men will be trained for Evers' place.
Brown Reulbach, Pfeister and Overall
are all on the down grade, and Chance
will have to work overtime to prevent
collapse of his pitching strength 1t is
possible that Reulbach. who was handi-
capped this year by an attack of diph-
iberia will regain his old-time form next
wear Cole looks TO be the Cubs main
stay in the box, and young Weaver looks
good
Richie Pfeffer Mcintyre and FoXen
are in reserve, but at that Chubby Char
lie Murphy would today give $1,000 for
another pitcher OF the Cole class. Much
scouting for pitchers Will be done before

Enough of the old stars will be on hand

BALTIMORE, October o6.-Jack At
kins. the horse known as the "Handi-

large number of races of that descrip-'

The Athletics showed up the Cubs on
inside base ball. The Cubs lest practi-

had none 10 speak Of. The Athletics
showed more of ii ON the defensive than
they displayed any time this year.
Chance played good game, but Tin

that club. IL was Tinker all the way,
and it was Tinker alone.
For the Athletics. Baker. Barry, Col

as the best. Not to forget Ira Thomas,
who caught great ball in four games.

than the Cub team a few years ago beat
the Tigers. But a few years ago the
Athletics now possess and WHICH the
Cubs have lost.
Browns Work Tells Story.
Mordecai Brown is a great example of
the Cubs His work in the last game tells
the story of the Cubs play in the cham
ponship series of 1910. The will power
was there but the strength was lacking.
Few there We're who did not marvel at
the work of the three fingered miner in
the first seven innings of the second
game. The Athletics had made two runs
on him, one a gift run and the other
earned He used all the cunning that eX-
perienCe had taught him. He used the
brains he had developed to the game ne
served with honor and grace in so many
seasons. And he had strength enough to
put over fast ones and quick breaking
curves and slow moving drops.
Curve Loses Sharpness.
But as the innings advanced that curve
seemed to lose its sharpness, the fast balls
lost some of their speed and the drop ball
was almost lost. There was not much
change of pace, for the fast one was not
much faster than the slow one.
Jack Coombs started the rally that won
the world title just Jack COUmbS had
stopped the Cubs threatening attack in
the fourth inning. The others fell in be-
hind him. Brown did not have "A thing
left-he was at the end of his string. He

foot ball team a tough proposition yes

by score of - TO 9. 1t was not SO
much the weakness of the varsity, how
ever, as the strength of the Tiger cubs
that was the most striking feature of the
practice. Cunningham has developed a
good eleven from the freshman class, and
it promises to make the Harvard and
Yale cubs work.
The freshman touchdown came at the
end of the ScTmmage after most Of the
regular varsity men had been withdra VII,
but they played excellent game
throughout. Baker and Waller carried
the ball well, and made repeated gains
for the freshmen
In the line Speers was the star for the
cubs. His tackling was hard and sure.
and he compared favorably with his
much heavier opponent on the varsity.
With all the regulars in the game the
offense was splendid In the period Of
scrimmage against the scrub Pendleton

yards at a time and not once could the

Sparks and MacGregor were back at
