CROSS WINNER BY
 KNOCKOUT ROUTE:
Sends Young Brown to Mat in
 Sixth Round of Fight.

I Leach Cross added Young Brown to his long list of men he has beaten by the Knockout route last night lat the Atlantic Garden Athletic Club, New York. when he defeated the young east sider in most decisive fashion in six rounds finally putting him in dreamland with the aid of, a. right to the point Of the jaw from which Brown failed to recuperate in time to avoid being counted out
 4 banner crowd witnessed the con test and on all sides Cross hurricane work was conceded to be the most finished he has yet shown. He hit .clean1y, ,jabbed convincingiy, and made count. In the third round, toward the end of which he appeared to have his man on the verge of a, knockout, he dropped his hands, and refrained from administering more punishment, Brown in the meanwhile hanging on.
 Both of the men sealed in at 136 pounds, and each was seen to be in the very best of fettle. Very little time was wasted in prelimfnaries, and from Cross manner he was desirous of making a short job of his under taking. He immediately began jab- bing his man to head and body, Brown responding, with like punches. The latter was inclined to bore in even at this early stage in an endeavor to get inside his opponents far-reaching left, which found him from nearly eY- cry position he assumed.

CARLISLE WILL FIND
 CORNELL HARD OPPONENT

Ithaca, N. r., Oct. 8-The Cornell football team has begun preparations for the hardest game of it's early sea- son schedule next Saturday. The con- test with the Carlisle Indians is ex- pected to bring hundreds Of enthusi- asts from all parts of the country, ow- ing to the additional interest of Coach Glenn Warner being a Corne1Iian and former coach of the local eleven. Railroads have offered special rates for the game and reserved seats are going fast. It Is expected that Percy Field will be taxed to capacity.
 Cornell will enter the game with practically the same lineup that fac- ed OberIin Saturday. The shake-up in the backf1eld, by which Shelton. formerly an end. went to the ful1back position, was effective and the SCOT ing power of the team was much inn proved. Anticipating an open style of play and many tricks by the red- skins, Coach Sharpe will give his men special work this week for the Carlisle game.
 Forward passes and a. number of shift plays for line pIunges probably. will form the principal method of at tack Much of the interest in the game is due to the fact that Cornell has not played the Indians since 1902, when the Red and White was de- feated 10 to G.

 while the Athletics of today are a classy bunch of players any old time fan win tell you that they are not to be mentioned in the same breath with the old Athletics of '70s. The Athlet- ics together with the Eostons, were responsible for giving Europe it's first lesson in baseball. It was in 1874 that t the two clubs sailed away from Phil adeIphia to undertake the first base ball invasion of England and Ireland. The Athletic squad included Anson, Mcbride, CIapp, Sutton, McGeary, Bat tin, Gedney, McMuIlen, Murnane, Sen senderfer and Fisler. Harry, George and Sam Wright and Jim O'Rourke were among the Bostonians The first game was held in Liverpool, and the clubs also played in London, Mauc11es ter.

CARL MORRIS LIKELY
 TO JAR GlJNBOAT SMITH

If Gunboat Smith wins his bout with Carl Morris tomorrow night he will at last succeed in breaking down the barrier of suspicion that sur rounds all the white hopes After the showing made by Langford and Jean nette the tendency so long prevalent to exalt the black heavyweights and sheer at the whites will die a natur- al death.
 Smith has been exceedingly slow to receive recognition compared with others who Jumped into fame at once Luther McCarty, whose record can not begin to compare with that of Smith, had no trouble in obtaining a following which was willing to hail him as champion. Stanley. Ketche1 obtained more credit for defeating Joe Thomas than Smith has received for his whole remarkably long list Of quick knockouts. Yet Smith has many of the. quail ties that made Ketchel so popular. Smith is just as fearless and is as reckless a. matchmaker as Ketchel was. Like KetcheI, Smith. depends more on. hard hitting than skill at boxing to bring him victory. In these days of lodging and sfdesteppings dan gerous opponents. Smith stands out alone as the one prominent pug1list in the ring who has not at some time evaded a logical opponent.
 There are mighty few, modern box CTS whose reckless matchmaking needs to be curbed by a boxing com mission. If Smith never wins an other bout he will always be remem- bered as one who, like Ketchel, Me Govern and a very few others, never evaded the issue. That in itself is distinction enough to single out Smith from the general run of latter day boxers, and it is remarkable that it has not made him more popular than he Is.
 However. Smith has plenty of time before him in which to make his mark. Undoubtedly Morris, with his enormous advantage in weight, will cause trouble for the lanky Gunboat, but Smiths speed and hard hitting should win for him.
 How Smith acts under punishment may be shown in this bout So far none has been able to land on him with dangerous force. Apparently, despite his slender frame, he is tough as whalebone and will not succumb to an ordinary Wallop. At present he 5ss: tus4 he@beezpos ossih1eScondtt1pux .1s

BIG CROWD CHEERS
 PLAYOGRAPH AT ARMORY

A big crowd turned out at the Ar mory yesterday to see the PIayograph reproduce the worlds series. The fans were delighted with the manner in which the wonderful machine de- picted the plays and there was all most constant cheering. The specta- tors could follow each batter from the time he stepped to the plate until he either went out or got on base. When Home Run Baker got his historic cir cult cIout the yelling could be heard as far south as Congress street.

 PITTSBURGH CLUB
Gregg Fools Pirate Batsmen in
 Second Game of Inter-Leagu }

Cleveland. Oct. s.-C1eve1and again beat the Pittsburgh Nationals yester- day, 2 to 1, in an eleven-inning pitch CTS battle. Gregg, C1eveland's star southpaw, opposed Robinson, Pitts burgh's best Ieft-hander, and honors were about even. Gregg's first base on balls helped Pittsburgh to their only run, and Robinson's base on balls allowed Cleveland to score the decid- ing tally.
 Do1an, Vfox and Wagner singled in succession in the first inning, but Do Ian and Wagner died trying to stretch their hits In the fourth, Do1an walk ed, took second on Vioxs grounder to Johnston, and scored on Wagner's single to center Miller walked, and both players advanced on wilson's in- field hit, but Mitchell famed.
 Simon got three singles after that, but he was the only. one of the vis- ftors to reach first base. Jackson's great running catch of Robinson's fly doubled Simon off first in the tenth. Robinson kept C1evelandss hits scat tered, one to an inning.
 In the sixth Jackson reached first joie's single, which Carey allowed to get past him. Jackson reached second again in the ninth on his single and Johnston's out, but was left there. In the eleventh Leibold got the first base on balls off Robinson Chapman sac rifced him to second. and he scored q moment later on Jackson's double
 Only about 25o0 were present, but they were well repaid Hans Wagner, singles yesterday, while Lajoie, his rival for seniority. got but one. Wag- ner handled six fielding chances per- fect1y.

 CTS However, Mathewson undoubted- l ly win be in the box for the Giants while Plank, veteran of many seasons, l probably will be Macks choice. An | overcast sky may cause both manag- | CTS to change their plans. In that
 case speed rather than the decep-
 tive delivery in which the veterans ex- eel will be necessary and Shawkey or
 Bush, youngsters on Mack's team, may
 be sent to the mound for the home | team while Jeff Tesreau, who held the
 Athletics hitless in the last two inn
 ings of yesterdays conflict, may be in the box for New York
 Walter Schang, whose aII-round play at the receiving end has been a reve- latfon to baseball enthusiasts here this in his first world series game, yester- day, probably will catch again, today, although Lapp is usually worked with Plank Meyers will likely be Me-
 Graw's choice for that position. The regulars on the Athletic team ar
 rived home in good condition and will
 be found at their positions, today.

 field. McGraw has not yet indicated
 how he hopes to solve the problem
 Despite this apparent handicap, the Giants manager, last night appeared
 confident that he would be able to
 reverse the result of yesterday. He
 declared that luck played 9 great part 1 in the Athletics victory. On the oth-
 CT land, the American League play CTS say that New York had all the
 breaks of the game or the score would
 have been even greater against them. The Giants took things easy at the hotel, prior to the game, keeping in- l doorss much of the time because of the
 damp weather. Many followers of the New Workers called on McGraw and his players and encouraged them to fight on and win.
 The Athletics, of course, were heroes for the day whenever they appeared. 1 All of them had orders to report at Shibe Park by 10 o'clock and there was a big crowd about the players gate all morning.
 stHorne Run Baker was given an enthusiastic reception. Everybody
 wanted to shake his hand and slap
 him on the back. Collins, whose won lderful playing in yesterdays game had
 much to do with victory, was also | noisiIy welcomed. Bender, the Indian pitcher, was practically excused for the day but he expected to put on a uniform and take an easy workout

HIS LAST CALL ON EARTH.

There had been a bad explosio,
in powder mill and the proprietor
who was away on a pleasure trir
hurried home to make an investi
cation as to the cause.
How in the world did it happen9
he asked the foreman of the mill
as he viewed the wreck. Who was
to blame?"
Well you see, sir" replied the fore
man, 1t was this way: Bill went
into the mixing room, probaplv
thinking oI something else. and
struck match by mistake. He >
Struck match!" exclaimed the
proprietor in amazement. Il should
have thought that have been the
last thing on earth he'd do"

of the foreman.
