A PUZZLE!
WHO IS TO STOP

Excise Board Likely to Get

New Order.
Who's going to enforce the "srowlcr''

Who's going TO enforce the 'srowlcr''
law? -
Now that the excise board has issued
an edict prohib ting the sale Of beer In
buckets after January /. officials Of tho
Police Department are wondering who
is going to make the regulation effec-
tive. The excise board passed the regu-
lation following the recent decision Of
the Court Of Appeals. which they con-
strue AS giving them absolute jurisdic-
tion over the liquor traffic In the Dis
trict.
The police officials take the ground
that they have no authority to enforce
regulations OF the excise board. En-
forcement OF law by the police Is in
accordance with acts OF Congress. r,ii-
ings OF the courts as construed by tho
corporation counsel or District attorney,
or by order, o fthe District Commission.

promulgated tho 'growler" order Of the

As the situation stands today, Il
would appeal that the excise board will

ton as to whether Denning was foul ed it is very evident that it is up to the referee to announce his version of the case when such occasions arise. NO doubt Referee Joh feared he might transgress the rule against giving a decision if he made announcement t. But in fairness to McGoorty some of ficiaI statement should have been giv- en out when Denning, made his claim of foul. Next day the out-of- town papers carried stories widely differing. Some had it that Denning won on a foul. while others had the true version A statement by the referee from the ring would have headed off the per son who put the misleading statement on the wire.
 Whether or not Joh made any such statement in private as is credited to him by McKetrick is not known, of course as he gave no sign whatever as to his opinion while in the ring. When Denning announced that he had had enough and Joh simply kept the eager McGoorty away from him, Den ming walked to his corner and the bout was over. While no one about the ringside saw anything that looked in the least like a foul many of those further back were i'll doubt whether a punch of this character had landed without being noticed. Accordingly they were entirely at a loss to know what had happened and left the arena still in a state of uncertainty.

YANKEES MAY
 USE POLO GROUNDS
REPORT THAT AMERICANS AND NATIONALS WILL OCCUPY
 SAME FIELD IN 1913.

Among baseball fans yesterday the rurnor that the New York American League team would play the games of next years schedule on the Polo Grounds was received with some doubt, in view of the announced fact that last night Frank Farrell. the owner of the Yankees, had spoken in positive terms about the almost abso- lute certainty of the team being in possession of the new grounds at 225th Street and Broadway, which were first spoken about nearly a year ago.
 It is said that an official announce ment will be made in connection with the double tenancy of the Polo Grounds in a few days. The fans re- mem ber that when the Giants home was burned out, Farrell generously turned over the use of his park to the Brush team, and it is said that the Giants management has never forgotten that kindness.
 It has been pointed out that the schedule of both teams are so arrang- ed that it will be possible for the full hllment of the scheme, as there are, as a rule, no conflicting dates, and that this fact paves the way for the Yankees playing their games in the Brush stadium.
 The lease for the American League Park expires next May, and there is little likelihood of renewal, as the property is said to have been disposed of. Work on the proposed new park of the Yankees is said to have been abandoned entirely.

 Capt Spalding was at the head of lis men in the scrimmaging, which lasted half an hour and brought the scrubs against the Varsity attack. Spalding has done little scrimmaging since he returned to ~the eleven on Tuesday after ten days absence, but announced that he expected to play Saturday He was in brilliant form in the line forcing of the varsity yester- day, but did not score for his team. Two touchdowns were made, both ar ter the ball had been brought close to the scrub goal by series of long dogged rushes- Bob Martin, one of the reserve backs, who was given a trial on the varsity, took the ball across the line for the first touchdown on tackle plunge, and Loftus, the quarterback, col1ared a forward pass for the second score.

 Coming on grinaly, gamely and valiantly for a final rush, Lewis sin gled and Gardner doubled to right. Devore played the ball badly, Heinie Wagner, the brainiest player on the Boston team coaching the lead, turn ed the game upside down. Stahl tapped to MarQuard who nipped Gardner at 3rd where he should have been before Stahl came up. Wagner tapped to Fletcher who begged straight and true to Merkle what Merkle dropped the ba1l-and the Giants were in rout with runners on and when Cady peeled off a terrific wallop to right center, only steep1e jack catch by Devore saved Mar guards scalp. We introduce these gentle incidents to show that any thing can happen in this series-that New York can still get all the best of the pitching and batting and still lose unless her support decides to set tie down for a day or two and make. at least two or three safe, conserva- tive plays.
 In summing up. the totals we find that New York has compiled 26 hits against 23 and has earned runs to Boston's 5. The Red Sox have earn ed but one run in their last two games against Mathewson and Marquard but what's the binged use of earning slip you generously, freely and with

CARDINALS DEFEAT
 BROWNS IN SECOND GAME
Baumgardner's WiIdness Paves Way
 For Nationals Victory.

St Louis, Oct.a11.-The St. Louis Ma tionals made it two straight over the Americans in their post-season series by taking yesterdays game, 3 to 2. Bau1ngardner's wildness was largely responsible for the Nationals victory.
 As in the opening class, the Amer Ican Leaguers outbatted and outfelded their rivals, but were unable to get a single lucky break from start to fin ish of the exciting struggle Harry Sallee was slated to pitch the second game against the Browns, but the slim southpaw was unable to perform for reasons best known to himself
 In the pinch Manager Bresnahan was copelled to use Sanford Burk, a Brooklyn cast-off, who held the Browns to six hits, only two of which were punched, and issued three bases on balls, none of which was costly
 Baumgardner had he Cardinals completely baff1ed for four innings Then the 'told waiting game of the Cardinals was brought into play, and it sent Baun1gardner up in the air The Nationals scored two runs on three passes, a single and another pass.
 The Americans tied it up in the sec ond half of the inning on a double, a wild pitch and a single. Hits by MoWrey and Evans, together with Sto- valPs error, gave the victory to the Cardinals in the eighth round.

TICKET SPECULATORS
 ARE STUNG IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Oct. 11-Ticket scalpers who were successful in procuring the pasteboards for speculation purposes for the opening game between Cubs and White Sox. found the venture losing proposition. On almost every street car leading to the ball park tickets were offered by these dealers at s15O an hour before the game.
 As time for play approa ched the tickets could be bought for ST. the regular price for reserved seats, and finally at game time for 50 cents. All of the tickets called for reserved seats and there was little demand for them at any price.
 At a downtown hotel a bunch of 100 tickets which were sold at $3 each on Tuesday night, were refused at $1.

BENDER TWIRLS
 TEAM TO VICTORY
INDIAN PITCHES GREAT GAME FOR ATHLETICS AGAINST
 PHILLIPS.

Philadelphia, Oct. 11.-One game only divides the Athletics from win ming the city championship series, their victory over the Phill1es, to 3, yesterday, making the count stand three games to one in favor of the Bender, who relieved Brown in the third inning, and the solid hitting of Collins and McInnis caused the defeat of the National Leaguers on their own grounds. The Athletics again played a brilliant game, an unimportant fum- ble by Barry being the only miscue.
 Among a lot of good fielding T catch by Oldring in the eighth inning stands out resplendent as one of the greatest plays ever seen on local field. OIdring was playing way over field hitter.
 Doo1an raised a foul fly back of third base and just oyer the line. Old ring, at terrific speed, made the long 1unge for the sphere. He seemed to have no chance to get it. but racing gamely he dived at the ball just as it get out his gloved hand, so made stab with the bare right, and to the amazenent of the players and specta- tors alike made the catch. It was an astounding effort.
 Moore pitched for six innings for the Phil1ies and the Mackmen did some timely hitting during his ad- ninistration. Seaton finished, yield ing four hits in three innings. Mo Innis doubled in the second and took third on Strunk's sacrifice. On the squeeze play Barry bunted perfectly and Stuffy scored.
 McInnis made his second double in the fourth, and took third when Magee let the ball get away from him. Jack beat the throw to the plate on Strunk's grounder to Do1an. Barry's double sent Strunk to third, and Lapp walked. Here Manager Mack withdrew Brown and, with the bases filled, sent in Maggert to bat. Moore lost control and walked Mag gert, forcing in run. Murphy forced Barry at the plate, and Old ring grounded to Luderus.
 The winning tally in the fifth was composed of Collins single and steal and Bakers single. Double plays in the fifth and eighth checked other charges by the Mack men.
 After Bender took the mound the activities of the Quaker bats sub- sided. Hits in a row by Doolan, Lo- bert, who replaced Magee in left in the sixth and batted in place of Killifer. who was spiked in the ankle in the preceding innings and -Cravath who hit for Moore, netted the last tally. Bender famed Paskert and Dolan and left two men on the bases The Indian struck out six men during the innings he tof1ed.

 In previous worlds series there has been only one tie That was in 1907 the first time Detroit and Chicago claShed. At that time the players were given the money from the extra game. The commission feared the sus- p1c1ous public might think the players were throwing the game in order to adopted the following rule:
 The players pool shall be restrict ed to 60 per cent. of the first four games after the deduction of the Com missions 10 per cent. thereof, regard less of whether one or more of such games shall result in a tie''
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-10-11
(By wagner)

The tie game at Boston Wednesday has lesc mary fans guessing regarding the manner in which the receipts for the worlds series are to be divided. There was impression that the play CTS would share in an extra games receipts because of the tie This is not true however. The national com mission has ruled that in case of a tie the players shall get their shares, but that the contest sh all count as one of the four games from which the men receive the coin.
 So the men have already shared in three games After today's battle in New York the athletes are out of 1t, far as getting any money is con rerned. The players don't like this. They will ask the commission to give
