Cy Young Picks
 Giants To Beat
 Mack's Athletics
Veteran Pitcher Says McGraw's Baserunners and Matty's
 Pitching Will Win

Pittsburgh, Sept. 25-Denton "Cy'' Young. the oldest pitcher in the two leagues, who shut the Pirates out the second time this season, Saturday af- ter much coaxing, talked about the worlds series games which will prob- letics. He is the only pitcher who has worked in both leagues this sea- son, and has faced the batters of both teams. He said:
 "I look for the Giants to win the series, for they have proved the best base stealing team ever, placed on the diamond. And that, too, though the Athletics have proven the best hitting and run getting team. According to the unofficial records published this week, the Athletics have made 1886 hits and scored 791 runs, for an aver age of .294 in 1S7 games. against 1,191 hits and 677 runs, an average of .270 in 135 games for New York
 "In my opinion, Plank will be the best pitcher of the series. I believe that he will surprise the fans, as the left-hander is doing better work than either Coombs or Bender. Mathew son, on the other hand, will be more effective against the Athletics than Marquard, as Mattie was in the last series against the Athletics in. 1905, when he shut them out both times he worked against them. That will give him confidence, while the men still playing with the Athletics will also remember his work, which will help to make them again weak in his hand. That is baseball, you know

Enraged Crowd
 Mobs Umpire Evans
Official Defends Himself When Cleveland Fans Strike
 Him

Cleveland, O., Sept 25-Umpire Will liam Evans hit one man. beat up an- other and was himself roughly hand- led following the Cleveland Philadel- phia baseball game here yesterday af- ternoon. A general fight resulted and a crowd of 1000 spectators swarmed On the field and around the partici- pants.
 Spectators objected to Evans calling a foul ball on Second Baseman Ball of the Cleveland team in the eighth inning and when he put Butcher out ing after two strikes were called on him, they became more aggravated. When the game was over and Evans walked toward the clubhouse, man jeered him with an oath, Evens says, and Evans struck him. Evans again started for the club house and in front of the entrance another man is said to have cursed him.
 Evans resented this with his fists and soon there was general melee which did not end even after members of the Cleveland and Philadelphia teams bore the umpire inside the club house The crowd surged around the entrance demanding that Evans come back. Several women were in it and one was so badly wedged in the mass of people that two ball players had to rescue her and carry her into the club house.
 Evans was not badly beaten, though he complained of pain in his back where some one kicked him. Several years ago Evans was nearly killed when hit by a pop bottle thrown at him at the St. Louis American League Park.
 .The first fellow used some pretty foul language he said. 'His fists were clenched, but I hit him first. I did not hurt him-just knocked off his hat. The others fellow standing in the entrance to the club house, refused to let me by and I hit him several times. I am sorry such thing oc- cured and on Sunday, too, but I had tO defend mySelf''

BRASS 60. DEFEATED
 BY SAUGATUCK BALL TEAM

The Bridgeport Brass Go. team was defeated Saturday at Saugatuck by the score of z to 6 in a ten inning game that was full of exciting and in teres6ng plays. The score at the be- ginning of the ninth inning was 6 to 2 in favor of the "Brassies,' and through some of the worst umpiring seen by the locals this season, mixed in with rowdy playing on the part of the Saugatucks, they were able to put four runs across the plate, and won out in the tenth, after two were out.
 Beers for the Brassies, pitched one of his strong games as the score will show, in fact the team as a whole played the game as it should be play ed, outside of the first inning, when two runs were scored. Dolan, a col lege pitcher, pitched a remarkable game, striking out 19 men, and a1- lowing but seven hits. Following is the score:

 Fight Off Now
Churchmen and Sporting Experts Combine Against Proposed
 Slaughter in London
Especial to the Farmer.f

London, Sept. 25-It is persistently reported in inner sporting circles that the Jack -Bombardier Wells fight, scheduled to take place here on October ?, will be declared off by ths promoters.
 The general opposition to the battle which has been joined in by tne church workers who are opposed to the battle on conscientious grounds and the sporting experts, who do not desire to see an Englishman butchered to make holiday for an American black, have discouraged the promot- CTS. They are also displeased over the fact that King George telegraphed to the Bishop of London, who is leading the crusade against tthe scrap, that his protest will receive the most careful consideration. If the fight is finally declared off, as now seems certain, ft is likely an attempt will be made to pull it off in Paris.
