Philadelphia, Oct. 1S-.+Forget yes
 terday's game and go after 'em to-
 day,' was the slogan that Manager
 Chance sounded to his Bear Cats at
 the AIdine Hotel today. There was no
 denying that the Cubs were jared as
 the result of their defeat in the open- .ing game but it is when you get the @bunch aroused that real game re- suits. Thus it was that the fans
 headed Shibe Parkard again today. confident of seeing another stirring |:battle and hopeful of seeing Jack Coonbs, the shut-out artist of Mack s
 staff, repeat the wonderful perform
 ance of Big Chief Bender.

 to forget yesterday, willy Connie Mack glorious day, remember that the CuA6
 were not such terrible animals after
 all. remember that all it took to beat them was to get the jump them.
 eff we play as lively a game as yesterday and hold our feet. we'll beat Chicago again. was the grim leaders sage advice.
 Coombs and Lapp and Brown and Kling were unofficia1ly announced as the batteries today. By many Phila- deIphians Coonbs is counted as great a box man as the Indian. His record for the season was 90 victories and nine defeats, but it was his wor,z Of pitching 5 successive innings without a runs scored off him that stamped him as one of the finest of the fine The word from the Cubs camp was that Brown felt as strong as a Cor fish engine.
 Any man who has a bet down on the Athletics has no occasion today to take peSsimistic view of life. The Athletics victory over the Cubs in the first game was so impressive that the odds of 10 to 8 on the Cubs have now been reversed. It's as much Of cinch as baseball things can be that Bender will repeat when he again faces the Cubs. And with the great hurling that Coonbs. Plank and Nor gan stand ready to hand out, it must be admitted that the prospects are none too sure for the westerners. So far the dope has worked out all right. This was that the strensth of the Athletics pitchers would offset any advantage in team play possessed by the Cubs.

 Truth is, there wasn't a department of the game in which the Athletics did not show up fully strong as the Cubs. The work of Baker Barry and Collins, the youthful inf1elders, was steady and brilliant Thanks to Bender's pitching the Athletics ont posts had little opportunity to dis tinguish themselves Not until the sixth inning did the Chicago batsmen succeed in Hfstiing' fly to the out field.
 After the fifth inning of yesterdays game, the Cubs seemed to lose their power.
