Odds Take Shift After Two Victories
and Mackmen Are Backed 2 To !,
With Cubs Money Very
A. Scarce.
Downfall of M. Brown So Complete
It Was Almost
Pathetic.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 19.-It
may be a little early to hold post
norton on the Cubs, but there are
few OF those who witnessed the de-
cisive defeats OF Chances crew in the
first two games for the worlds cham
pionship but believe today that the
one-time invincible baseball machine
IL badly out Of gear. That the Attn
letics will win the present series from
the Cubs Is considered as assured as
anything In baseball, not actually ac'
complished, can be.
Wagers of 10 TO and In some cases
of 10 to S are being offered on the
Mack men, but even these odds have
not drawn out any Chicago money.
The Cubs may strike their gait to-
morrow In Chicago, they may resume
their former grinding, crushing style
OF play, that gave to them the name
OF being the greatest baseball team
in the games history and yet dash
the jubilant hopes OF the Athletics,
but there are probably few outside
of Chicago who believe such a pro-
gram possible.
Athletics Look Very Strong.
Certain 1t is that Mack and his men
do not believe this. The Athletics
are convinced that they are In pos
session of the Cubs Angora and from
the way they slashed into the west
erners in the first two games, the be-
lief seems TO be justified.
So far In the series. the Athletics
have outplayed Chicago in every de-
partment except fielding. They have
a. H. or
but have atoned for this even In a
fielding way by their more dashing
style Of play. On at least three &C.
casions the Cubs have shown poor
Judgment and indecision that have
proved as fatal as actual errors would
have done.
Steinfeldts work at third and that
of Zimmerman at second has shown
I'm sorry contrast TO that OF Baker and
Collins The latter Is the one big
Kohinoor of the series to date. Lit
tie Johnny Evers In his palmiest days
never had anything on the former
Columbia University boy, who has
batted at a .667 clip and accepted II
chances without slip. He has fash
ed in and out of play after play,
swiped bases with abandon and has

OF the Cubs.
The downfall OF Mordecai Brown
in the seventh inning of yesterdays
game was a bit Of baseball OF real
dramatic elements. The collapse OF
the great twirler, the hero OF scores
of pitching duels and the conqueror
OF Mathewson and every other star
with whom he ever engaged in COM
bat, was complete. AS the Athletic
batsmen rang up the hits off his de-
livery in this fat inning, the three
fingered marvel appeared absolutely
lost. His actions in the box would
have made a good moving picture de-
plotting Despair" At last Brown
seemed to realize that the cunning
had slipped from his sleeve and he be-
gan lobbing the ball over. The Ath-
letics did the rest.
The present series will hardly be
as fat" for the players as that Of
last year between the Tigers and
Pirates. A comparative showing of

$4,000

Early last evening" fire broke out in
the flour and grist mill owned by Harry
Crossan, about two miles from Landen-
berg. Pa, and within two hours. there
remained nothing but a pile of smold-
ering ruins The loss will reach SiO,-
900.
There was no fire apparatus at hand
with which 70 fight the flames and de-
spite the efforts of farmers nearby. who
hod formed a bucket brigade. the fire
could not be overcome. The fire fight
ers then turned their attention to ad-
joining property which they succeeded
In saving.
Near the flour mill was a large house
occupied by employees of the mill. They
moved their effects from the building,
expecting that structure also to be de-
stroyed. There also was a hot house
in which mushrooms are cultivated,
within few feet of the flour mill, and
this too was saved.
The reflection of the fire could be
seen for distance and it attracted
persons for miles around.
The blaze started on the second floor
OF the building. It's origin is q

PARIS STREETS
FREE OF WATER
Loss by the Flood in France
More Than $500, O,OOO,-
900

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PARIS. Feb. 5-The total fall of the
Seine since the recession began eight
days ago is to-day ten feet and six
inches.
While there are still hundreds Of
Easements and cellars filled with water,
the streets are practically free Of water
and within week about the only
signs of the food remaining will be
the numerous street and sewer repair
gangs An idea of the ma agnitude of
the work to be done may be gained
from the fact that 5000 men are now
at work on the streets and sewers and
the number is being increased as rapid
~ as possible.
The loss in Paris now estimated by
government officials at $3.50 100000 and
in other parts of France at $1,000, 900.
The loss sustained from interruption
to business will bring the total far
above these figures.

ed off before they could accomplish
their purpose, the police do not know.
