Giants CIinch

 ChanCe's Players
Need Win Only Three of Re. maing 12 Games to Grab
 Pennant

Chicago. Oct. 2.-Rube Marquard, after being shelled from the hurling hill in his last two times out. came back with a vengeance yesterday, when, by kalsomining the Cubs in the final struggle of the set to the tune of to Q, he destroyed the last for 1orn hope of the Chance crowd for getting a slice of the Worlds Series plum. Lurid Lou Richie, the erst- while jinx of the Polo Grounders, who easily bested the lanky Rube last Wednesday, was the Peerless Lead CTS choice for making it three out of four for Chicago, but, though the pride of Ambler was as effective as usual for seven rounds. he blew up in the eighth, and in the last two frames was hammered freely.
 By winning the game the Giants practically clfnched the pennant. They must win only three more Of their remaining twelve games to be ac- claimed the victor, assuming that the Cubs win. all the remaining seven games on their schedule. The Giants not only broke even in the series here, year with the Cubs, the seasons books being closed with eleven victories ana eleven defeats for each team.
 The game was played in sea of mud, and good fielding was almost impossible. 1t rained in torrents all in the morning it began again at noon. However, the Cubs, anxious to take advantage of their one remain ing hope, had the grounds doctored freely with sawdust, so as to make q contest possible. In spite of the bad view the final clash of the year be-, tween the clans of McGraw and Chance, and were a sullen lot wherk Tom Needham was retired in the ninth, his out winding up the game. Marquard, who had been causing a little alarm in the New York camp on account of his recent poor show ing, gave ample proof that his trusty left wing is as effective as ever He held the enemy to six scattered hits and issued three bases on balls, but was. always master of the situation when trouble threatened. Rube was in several bad holes, but when It looked as if the Cubs would score the sidewheel marvel made the Windy City batsmen look like pigmies. RuDe sent seven of the old champs back to the bench on strikes.
 The bowling mob, which had just been highly elated over the prospects of a Cub win, was quickly plunged into the depths of despair when the heavy artillery of the Polo Grounders was Ira1ned on Richie Tn the eiSnLn Merkle shot double into the left field seats, which were set up for the expected overflow crowd which the bad weather kept away. Herzog sac rificed Fred to third, and Fletcher broke the ice with a double to right, scoring MerkIe. Myers was easy for Zimmerman, but Marquard contribut ed an unexpected single, admitting Arthur.
 The heavy cannonading was con- tinued in the ninth. l.. Doyle spun his third single to Schulte's patch. and was forced by Snodgrass. Mur- ray famed. but Merkle's single put --Snoddy'' on third. Herzog drovesthe Californian home with a single to left. Fletcher hammered his second double to right centre. clearing the trials. but went out trying for 9 triple That ended the run getting The score:

POPULARITY OF MM FOOTBALL IS GReWlNG
Coaches Think Small Colleges Have Better Chance Than
 in Old Days
Especial from United Press. ,

New York, Oct. 2-Fanning bees at the University Club today disclosed that the new open football recom- mended under the 1911 rules has gail- ed in popularity among the coaches and alumni of the big universities. Saturdays scores, in which a number of the big teams escaped by the mar rowest of margins, proved pretty con- clusiyely that the new tactics would accomplish the results aimed at namely, giving speed and advantage over brawn
 It is the concensus of opinion today that the big elevens which have to dafe belttled the attempts at improv- ing the game are going to be forced into giving the new style of play fair trial if they wish to hold their own in the matter of piling up scores. There is no reason to feel that the new style of game will decrease the relative strength of the teams of small and large colleges once the latter per feet the open style play It is cer- tain, however, that so long as the big teams do not master it and the small CT colleges do, the latter are going to have good chances of rolling up good scores.

West Sides Drop Opening Contest
Slip up Before Laurels in Water bury Casey's Foetwork Holds Brass City Champs Back

On muddy field and in torrents. of rain. the West Sides of this city slip ped before the Laurels, champions of Waterbury in a go contest in the Brass city yesterday It was the first. time the West Sides had ever lined up together even in practice, while the Laurels have been in practice for the. past few weeks, though it also was their first game. The West Sides is a combination of some of the mem bersI of. the Edgewoods. Westerns and South Ends. The West Sides held the Laurels safe in the opening period, but after two minutes of play in the second session, an end run produced a touchdown for the residents. Tn the fourth period a drop kick from the 20 yard line brought the LaqrePs score to nine. The West Sides defense crumbled before the LaurePS line that a team can do nothing without practice. The bunting of Casey was the only asset that kept the LaurePs from bling up the counts. The sum mary:

The MreCkage

Two pieces Of human driftwood
Beached on the sands of sin,
Four eyes from retrospection
Grown heavyas hearts within:
The man lacked honor. ambition,
The woman needed friend;
Neither could pierce the future
Or cared to think of the end
The name of their craft was Passion"
But blindly they read it Love"
One creeps from the Stygian darkness.
The other drops soft from above.
They sailed away on their journey,
Cared not what the world might say,
And the Lloyds that they keep in HEAVIER
Just posted the wreckage today.
Two hearts ashamed and broken.
Two memories scared with pain
Two lives just wantonly wasted
They can never be lieved again.

The protectionist who sincerely
believes that a tariff encourages
American industry ought to be
in favor of abolishing state and
local taxes on industry and its
products. If the price of foreign
good must be artificially raised
to enable American manufacture
ers to compete, then a state or
local tax on the American fac
tory or its products must deprive
the American manufacturer of a
part or all of the advantage that
the tariff gives him. If Ameri-
can factories would be relieved
of local taxation, manufacturers
would undoubtedly be better able
to meet competition of any kind.
