Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, October 13.-In the
second of those little post-season and
pre-wOrlds series comedies that have
been scheduled for Shibe Park this week
Jimmy McAleer's galaxy of All-Ameri-
can stars again threw jolt into our
champions, who only managed to avert
shut-Out i'll the last inning. The final
score of the thing was ) to |.
Big Ed Walsh did the hurting for the
AH-American luminaries, and before the
entertainment had progressed beyond the
paregoric and swaddling clothes stage it
was apparent that there was going to
be pitchers battle between Big Ed
and Chief Bender. who started for the
home folks. Plank, who succeeded the
Chief on the hill after the Chief had
warmed up for three innings, wasn't quite
SO effective as his predecessor, and
CoOmbs, who in turn succeeded Plank at
the job in the seventh. wasn't as good as
either of the other two. However, this
appeared to be the result of carelessness
and indifference rather than inability.
Some Swell Pitching.
The home champs never got hit of
Walsh till the fourth, and the one they
got then was mighty question: ble and
tered swats all told during the afternoon.
On the comparative merits of the pitchers
the thing would probably have been one
OF those nawthin' to nawthin' affairs up
till the closing stanZa with the All-Stars
winning out in the ninth by a 81 margin,
as the runs the Stars acquired earlier in
the game were largely the result of
cheesy playing by the home twirlers'
supporting cast, the outfieders being the
chief offenders.

pulled a three-base muff and didn't cover

Ty Had to Shine.
Ty Cobb got into the show yesterday,
and. as might be expected. was pretty
nearly the whole entertainment Ty got
two doubles and a single, and simply
tore up the base paths when he got on.
But one little infield scratch was all
the hit the Stars got while Chief was
working. but in the fifth Cobb worked
in a two-base smack off Eddie Plank. and
then Eddie followed this up by soaking
Jake Stahl in the Stats with a pitched
ball. When Mcbride flied to Murphy.
Cobb darted to third. and then Jake Stahl
started on a pilfering expedition and
Jack Lapp aided him in his efforts by
heaving the ball to center field. Cobb
