| Marion fans are probably talting
more interest in the present series FOR
| the championship of the world than
| they have in any past series ana the
fans as II rule favor the Cubs rather
than the Athletics. There has been
| considerable betting ut even money
on the series and many single bets
were recorded yesterday.
The fans feel that the Cubs can do
II. They have followed the work of
that wonderful machine so long that
most of them do not see how Chance
and his bear cats can lose 1t is for
this reason that the betting is light.
The Athletics have many admirers
here but the fact that the members
of the team are not as well known
to the fans as the Cubs is partly &
reason for the small number of those
who have picked the Mackmen to- win

Coombs and Lapp and Brown and

the batteries today. BY many Phila
delphia fans Coombs is counted a.;

tories and nine defeats, but 1t was his
work of pitching ffty-three successive
innings without a run being scored Off
him that stamped him as one OF tho
finest of the fine. The word from the
Cubs camp was that Brown felt as
strong as a Corliss engine.
Any man who has bot down on
the Athletics has no occasion todaS
TO take Il pessimistic view of life. The
Athletics victory over the Cubs in the
first game was impressive that the
odds of ten to eight on the Cubs have

any advantage in team play possessed
by the Cubs. When q team doesn';

offensive team play could not get

Truth is there wasn't department

SPLIT UP THE
BACK WITH COX

Cincinnati, oct. 1S,--A serious split
between George b. Cog, leader of ths
Republican organization and his lieu
tenant Rud X. Hynicka, as the re-
suit OF the dismissal of Paul NJ. Mil
lillin as chief Of police, and the ap-
pointment of William II. Jackson as
his successor, is reported in political
circles.
That there has been a rupture be-
tween CoX's two lieutenants, Hynicka
and Garry Hermann, has been known
TOR some time. The rivalry between
these two in their struggle for the
scepter which Cox may soon lay aside
mas strained the relations to the point
of open hostility.
