CUBS MAKE RACE EXCITING
Chicago Team Prevented Giants From
Making Farce Out Of National
League Contest.

Close Of the National league season
caused little excitement. Had 1t not
been for the Chicago Cubs the strug-
organization has had In many sasons.
The New York Giants, winners Of the
flag. set out to make farce out Of 1t
and would have done so had not the
Cubs stopped them for while and
prevented them from cinching the
pennant until September. For a time
it appeared as II Chicago would over
take the Gothamites, but the latter,
driven desperately by their manager,
John McGraw. held their ground and
eventually won with ease.
From the opening of the season un-
til close to June l the race promised
to be exciting. Hank O'Day stood out
like great manager during that time.
as the Cincinnati Reds were on top.
But the ex-umpire's greatness soon
faded when the Red slowly dropped
back to the second division. Johnny
Killing also had the Bostons near the
top at the start, but the first division
teams became too strong and Boston
fell back to Its customary position
last.
The Pittsburg Pirates were power
full until July 1, when they fell into
losing rut and slid back to make way
for the Cubs. 1t was then that the
latter began their struggle to shove
the Giants out Of first place. The
National league race became inter
esting and for days the baseball
world was talking of the wonderful
squirt OF Manager Chances men. 1t
continued until September 1, when
the strain proved too great for the
Cubs and they lost their grip, drop
ping back to third place, finishing
there for the first time since 1905.
when the finish was the same as this
season. This is the fourth pennant
McGraw has won and he is tied with
Frank Chance of the Cubs.
There were few changes in the line
ups this season. Boston and Brook
lyn are the only clubs which rear
ranged their batting order frequently.
hoping to add strength. Johnny Killing
did all in his power to bring Boston
up higher in the race, but the material
he possessed was unable to respond.
He has had enough of the managing
end, according to reports. and will re-
tire from the game. O'Day did con-
siderably better than was expected,
but he was able to accomplish this

was abolished. But the tackle now
will have to stand the shock of his
opponent forward. and then of heavy
man bent on making two or three
yards. He will not, in all probability.
get much help from the secondary de-
fense. To weaken the defensive back
line unduly will be simply an invita-
ton to the offense to work the now
unrestricted forward pass to its
hearts content.
The situation will be much the same
as Yost faced when Notre Dame beat
Michigan and which. later in the same
year, he compelled Pennsylvania to
meet. The threat of the forward pass
was always there, but the play itself
was no great factor In the scoring.
Instead, the first defense was simply
battered down by straight football" !"
while the backs waited helplessly for
the forward pass that didn't come.

TACKLES MUST BEAR BRUN7

to That Of 1909.

Walter Camps latest variety of foot
ball rules has been accused of being
everything from a return to the old
eat 'em alive mass play rules to being
slight modification. which will have
little effect on the style of play. Act.

that will develop under them will be a

invitation to the tackles to stand up
and be killed. Last years rules
favored the defense to such an extent
that scoring was almost impossible
and fluky in the extreme. 1t appears
that in their effort to strengthen the
offense. the rulemakers have gone to
the other boundary and that scoring
this year is likely to be enormous.

DETECTIVE McLoskEv's STORY.

THE series of second-story robber-
ies," said Detective McCloskey, which
wound up with the daring attack upon
the residence of Colonel Rogers, on
the night of the marriage of his daugh-
ter which was attended by the lead
ing members of the Four Hundred,
were the boldest and most puzzling
crimes I ever was called upon to in
vestigate.
THE excitement was at fever heat
all the time. 1t Is not putting it too
strong to say that between the hours
of five and eight in the evening, half
million persons were on the look
out In the streets and in the houses to
get sight of the men who seemed
to be-from the fact that no one saw
them at all-more of the nature Of
spirits than human beings. The rob-
berries were not confined to any sec
tion, but spread in all directions in
all parts of the city. 1t was evident
from the style of the work, that in
the Fifth avenue district there were
two or more very expert thieves en-
gagged. In other parts of the city men
were at work. probably imitators of
these. who did not move with the
same caution and certainty.
thousands of robberies were re-
ported from all sections of the city.

80 thieves to jail that l had run down
in investigating these crimes, but they
were all petty thieves. There wasn't
one among them capable of carrying

uptown districts.
"Other policemen made arrests in
all sections OF the city. In spite of all
the vigilance exercised by the police
and citizens, the big robberies went
on night after night. The thieves
seemed TO have the strange facility
of picking out the very houses to at
tack which were the least suspected
and the worst guarded. 1t was ut
terly impossible to get an accurate de-
scription of the men. In all the
places which were attacked the de-

THRILLING ADVENTURES OF TWO
"SECOND-STORY MEN,"

MONG the changes that
may be noted in the meth
DDS OF thievery In America
" none is more marked than
~ n passing of the second
W. story man" He earned
6 a his title from the fact that
NSS his work always was done
o above the ground. While
second story robberies still,
and always will, occur. the great
school of the past, Of which big
Frank" Mccoy. Pete McCracken and
kid" Kelly were leaders. is thing
of the past.
Whether the public has learned
through so many lessons not to keep
valuable in upstairs rooms, or wheth-
er the change is due to the fact that
we are producing lower and less dar-
ing class of thieves. am not prepared
to say. But in the days when the
above named worthless were the lead
ers of the "second-story men" scores
of such robberies were reported in the
big cities where there is now one.
The boldness with which second
story men" operate makes 1t appear
to the unprofessional mind that an
unusual amount of risk is involved.
AS q matter OF fact. the risk is not 10
great as In any number Of other styles
OF robbery. In New York city there
have been fewer convictions for sec
ond-story robberies than almost an~
other, due in part to the difficulty OF
detection.
Big Frank" Mccoy went undetect-
eli until he pulled coping stone loose
while scaling the front porch OF a
house in Brooklyn and was crushed
to death. Second story thievery Ian
guished for time after his death.
and then the bright lights came out of
the west and stirred things up in the
big city until the police were at their
Wits end. 1t is the story of one OF
them. Pete McCracken, the only real
arst class chief that Ohio. the maker
Of presidents, ever produced. that
