 Did you win or lose? Be on the winning side now anyway. The sure thing boys are out in force today The folks who were yelling themselves blue in the face for the Giants before the series started are now declaring "The Athletics had it all over that bunch. The Giants never had a chance" That is one of the beauties of baseball
 The Edgewoods play the strong An mex football team at New Haven next Sunday, and on the following Sunday play in ThOmaSton. The following players are requested to report tonight at State street and Bostwick avenue: Linquist, Murray, Noonan, Mosher, Casey, Abbott, Kline, McMahon, Fin O'Day Dochy. Practice will also be held Sunday morning at the Circus lot.
 Here is a slight tribute from the manager of the Arrow A. c. "The manager of the Arrow A. c, wishes to state that he never refused to meet the Clintons but has frequently offer ed to play them for sport or money. He claims he has the fastest 105 pound team in the state and he is not afraid to back them against the best. The team called the Clintons has won more games on paper than they ever played on the football field. The Arrows now issue a challenge through The Farmer to the Clintons to play for any amount of money at any time or place. The money must be placed in the hands of The Farmer sporting editor. Now you Clinton peo- pie, here's chance for you to crawl out of your shell and not be crabs all vO1r lives" Manager M w. Pull lotti of Arrow A. c.
 The Crescent Jrs. say they were not defeated by the Walnut Jrs.. as the latter team would not play the game out. The Walnut Jrs. would like to play and 60 to 65 pound team in the city. They are going to play McCar- tvs All-Stars next Sunday at the Park City Lumber yard. Answer through The Farmer.

then won his next two games with faultless pitching. In his three con tests the Giants earned three runs of his delivery, an average of one tally to the contest.
 But there was glory enough for all in the camp of the conqueror. They proved to be as good at base stealing as the supposedly speedier Giants who had stolen double the number of bases in their own league, they prov ed to be more brilliant in the field and far superior at the bat. Giant pitchers alone fought an even better fight until the final rout and the edge expected here failed to show.
 There was only one member of the Giant outfit who outclassed his com petitor. This was Chief Meyers, the Indian catcher, who, with, Bender more than upheld the glory of the native American cause.
 American League experts at the Giants might have won if they had used Crandall and his slow ball more, as Mack'e team is. weakest against slow ball pitching and was hopeless before Crandall in the few rounds he worked. sBut this sounds like an above, there is not an alibi left-not even with the accent on the ''li."
 The Giants hit for ITO and the Athletics for .244, while Mack's team scored 27 runs against 13 for Me Graw,. more than doubling the New York output Most of this margin, of course, is due, to the 13 to 2 hurly- burly of yesterday. There was touch of sentiment at the close when Mack sent in Earl McInnis, the star little first baseman, to handle the last putout of the game. This was Stuffys 8 sole chance to work in the battle but he can say at least that he was there to- retire the last Giant up. The ab- sence of McInnis was not felt as Da-, wis played the bag in great shape and, hit like a wild man, driving in shoal of tallies by his consistent stick work.
 The game closed out the richest of all world series battle, where close to $35O,0OO was taken in at the gate, with a young fortune for each player upon both teams and a real fortune for the club owners.
 It was a great series-possib1y the most spectacular ever played-and 1t was a fitting climax that the best team won and won cleanly and fairly.

Jack Coombs Not
 Seriously Hurf

Philadelphia. Oct. 27.-A sensa. tional story that Pitcher Coon1bs so injured himself in Wednesdays game that he must retire from active base ball broke here yesterday.
 Connie Mack said: Why, that's all nonsense. Coombs would be able to play in week if there were need for it. In the sixth inning of We'd nesdays game he strained the mus cles of the groin. That's why f1e weakened toward the finish.
 The injury is not serious. how ever, and Coombs could pitch again in week. There's absolutely no cause for alarm about his condition
 That he was so Injured that he'll have to give up baseball is ridiculous. Put it down as just another of those crazy stories that have been follow ing the worlds series here"
 Capt. Harry Davis said in relation to Coombs:
 '.I do not think that he is badly hurt, although may have aggra- vated his injury by pitching after he received it. He said that he felt all right and insisted on remaining in the box. He is plucl<y fellow and undoubtedly he feels the effect of that added strain today"

 and the decision to put an end to the game is a sad blow to Windy City followers of the sport It is said that one of the reasons that caused the police to take this action was that pickpockets had been reaping a golden harvest at the bouts. It seems that some of the light-fingered artists, not being of discriminating nature, care leSsly selected members of the police force for their victims.
 Officers of Gary aro to stand trial in 9 couple of weeks on bribery charger, and this is thought to be another reason for the police action The authorities of Hammond, Ind, have taken similar action.
 Agitation against boxing is spread ing all over the Middle West. Since the McFarland-Wolg about was called off in Milwaukee there has. been but one bout held in Wisconsin, and that was at Fond du Lac, svhere it is said the sheriff favors the game.

HONEST VOTE
OR EXTRA SESSION
President Taft VIII Not be Buncoed by
any Faxed up Vote on
Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-President
Taft made it plain last night that he
will not be deferred from his deter
mination to call an extra session OF
congress to secure ction on the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement by any
vote which the senate may take on
the question unless it is plain to him
that such vote is a real test and not
merely an attempt to avoid an extra
session.
Intimations were made that the
president might be kept from conven'
ing congress in extra session IL some
sort of a vote could be secured, the
intimation being that the president
would be satisfied with test vote
which showed that the opposition
against reciprocity would not be over
come. even in an extra session. The
president declared emphatically that
nothing would satisfy him but an alb
solutely honest vot. on the merits OF
the bill. At conference at the White
house it was not decided as to the
date of the extra session. The date
now rests practically with the repub
lican leaders. The presidents original
intention, he explained. had been te
call it without delay. Then in defer
ence to the wishes of democratic lead
ers Clark and Underwood, who de
sired him to give six weeks respite
he had suggested a compromise date
