CHAMP P|ONSH|P IS RETAINED BY
 ATHLETES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 26. -
 All hail to the Athletics as champions
 of the world for the second successive
 time. In an exhibition of batting
 seldom seen in a premier baseball
 series Philadelphia defeated New
 York today in the sixth game of the
 worlds series by the overwhelming
 score of 13 to ?, thus gaining the four
 games necessary for them to carry off
 baseball's greatest honor. It was
 more than a defeat for the Giants.
 It was a rout. Coming from behind
 as did the Giants yesterday the Ath-
 leties tied the score in the third
 and won the game in the fourth when
 they made four runs, made it a little safer in the sixth with another run and in the seventh crushed the Giants under an avalanche of hits and runs piling up seven each.
 The fierce hitting of all and any pitcher New York sent into the box aroused the throng to the greatest enthusiasm. The struggling National leaguers sent in three pitchers to stem the tide but all looked alike to Maek's men. Of three Wiltse got the worst whaling. Every member of the team got one or more hits except Collins and Bender. The former, how ever, sent in one run with a sacrifice. Catcher Thomas was the only member of the white elephants not to make a hit in the entire series when the game began. In the seventh, however, he sent a sereamer into right field and all the members of the Athletics eheered. Murray of New York was the only one of both teams not get ting safe hit in the series.
 Chief Bender, the wonderful Chip | pewa twirler, gets the credit of win ming the final game. His work was masterful and even better than in | the first game pitched in New York Doyle doubled to first and scored lat CT with one error and from this time the old Indian was never in trouble. Bender pitched three games, scoring two victories in the last three days.
 The fielding today was the best of the series. DevOre, the diminutive Giants left fielder, made the most catch, robbing Lord of a three-bagger while many other spec -aeular fielding stunts brought the crowd to its feet.
 All the eight errors of both teams were made on the easiest kind of chances. The fourth and seventh were the two interesting innings. In he fourth Baker and Murphy singled md with two errors in the four runs ,ame in. In the seventh, six success. 'ive hits were made, two of them be- ng doubles. Then walk and an other hit gave the Athletics seven .uns while the crowd groaned every lime a man scored. The attendance ,f the series broke all records, the otal being 179,s51. The receipts were $342, ,964, of which the players get $127,91O; each club $9O,1Os; the National commission $34,236. Each Athletic gets $3654, and each Giant s2436.

1G-MOses Resolution Passed.

Meeting behind closed doors, the dl.
terday voted to call a special meeting
Of the entire body to consider the pro-
posal to effect a merger with the Cham
Der of Commerce. Nineteen directors
were present, including Gen. Harries
president of the Board of Trade. A reso-
luton, offered by Arthur c. Moses. CALL
ing special meeting for May 25, was
passed.
Those present who voted were Scott C,

lam II. Saunders. Thomas w. Sidwell.

John Joy Edison. John L. Weaver, Will
lam F. Guide, D. S Porter, and E. c.

Insures Prompt Action.
While yesterdays meeting does not OF
itself affect the prospects of success or
failure for the project. II at least insures
prompt action and puts the Board of
Trade exactly abreast Of the Chamber
of Commerce in point OF action so far
taken. Like action by the directorate
of the Chamber at a recent special meet
ing set the date for a special meeting
of the entire Chamber for next Tuesday,
May l6. The directorate Of the Chamber
passed a resolution calling for the meet
ing by unanimous vote.
Mr. Moses resolution was passed at
yesterdays meeting with little or no
debate. AS petition signed by any
thirty members of the Board OF Traae
would have forced the calling of a special
meeting, yesterdays action can hardly
be used as a guage of the comparative
strength of the antis and pros on the
question.
John Jop Edison, J. Henry Small. jr.,
and DR.. Frank E. Gibson, all of WHOM.
have come out on previous occasions
strongly against a merger under any
condition, all spoke against the resolu-
ton. William H Saunders also opposed
the proposition. Mr.. Moses and D. J.
Callahan spoke briefly for, the resolu-
ton.

INCENDIARY AT LARGE.
Police Believe They Know Who Sc,
Building Afre.

While the police are certain they know
the identity of the person who poured oil
on an old couch which had been placed
against the new home of ]. w. McClos-
key, in Barry avenue. near Fourth street
southeast, and set 1t afire Thursday night
no arrest had been made up to an early
hour this morning. An effort is being
made to learn the name of the owner OF
the couch.
Citizens of that section are wrought up
over the fact that an incendiary has
turned up in their neighborhood, and as
Thursday nights fire was the second
blaze in three months of a suspicious ma
ture, every effort is being made to bring
the fiend to justice. The fact that there
is no water supply With which to fight a
fire in Washington Highlands. and that
the busket brigade is the only protection
has caused alarm.

Appointed by Roosevelt.
Mr.. Stimson first came into general
public notice in January. 1906. when
President Roosevelt appointed him
United States district attorney for the

become Secretary OF War. taking the
portfolio which twelve years later his
young partner receives.
The three years which Mr.. Stimson
spent in the Office of United States Dis
trict Attorney was notable for the num-
ber o conspicuous government prosecu-
tiOns. The sugar trust frauds were on
the list, along with prosecution OF sew
eral railroads for Drawbacks" given
to the same trust. Some 100000 were
returned to the government as a result
O1 tne prosecutions and nearly
500, 900 We're collected in fines for rebat-
ing. 1t was under Mr. Stimson's admin
istration also that f. H. Hartman was
made to testify concerning his railroad
operations and that Charles w. Morse
was tried and convicted of misapplication
of funds of the National Bank Of North
America.
Mr.. Stimson resigned soon after Pres
ident Taft was inaugurated. but contin-
ued the prosecution of the sugar fraud
cases as special counsel When the

IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC.
Boys Training School Has Twt
Diphtheria Cases.


The report of twelve cases Of diph-
iberia at the National Training School
for Boys has been causing concern at

have been allayed by DR.. Guy w. Lati-
mer, who says the reports were unin-
tentionally exaggerated by him. As soon
as a boy at the school has shown signs
Of being affected with diphtheria germs,
his case is reported as being diphtheria,
eve nif he has a sore throat. DR.. Latimor
says.
When asked about the epidemic" DR..
Latimer expressed great surprise, and
said he had heard Of none. But when
asked why twelve cases had been re-
ported to the health officer. he smiled
and explained:
when a boy shows signs Of being In
