ONLY FIVE HITS
New York Greatly Disap-
pointed Over Tesreau's
Poor Showing

New York, Oct lO-The superb pitch
ing of Lester Bush nabled the Philadel.
phia Athletics to take the third game OF
the worlds series from the Giants yes
terday afternoon by the score of s to 2

while his teammates were smashing the
offerings OF Tesreau and Crandall saw
agely. Three of the five hits off the
youngster were of the scratch variety.
But three of the ~ putouts credited
to the Athletics were maze outside the
nfeld, MAILING another indication of the
splendid article Of ball which Bush
pitched.
bush viii not be 20 years old until
November 81. He did not pitch phe-
nomenas ball, but his delivery had en-
tirely too much speed and break for
the Giants to grow familiar with during
their first introduction to the Brainard,
Mimi, huraer.
Bush was Just wild enough to keep
the New York batters gu4sing and his
quick change of pace and delivery were
added haDIicaps to the Giants when at
the pate. He walked four batters and
hit 4 fifth, but each time he faltered
LIS nerve and his brilliant fielding team
mates soon led him back TO safety
The victory of Bush, who halls from
the same town as Chief" Bender, was
exceedingly popular with the Athletics.
The first four Athletics, Murphy, Old
ring, Collins and Baker between them
made nine of the II hits recorded for
Philadelphia and these four also scored
seven of the eight runs that made vic
tory so one-sided.
disappointment among the Giants over
the downfall OF Tesreau was as strong
as the citation among the Athletics over
Bush's splendid work. Tesreau had his
moist ball delivery breaking at all kinds
OF angles but he could not control di-
rection. The Athletics batting quar-
tet refused to hit except when the bali
was over the plate and then laid against

cess.
So vigorously did they clout the
sphere the defeat would have been over

zog at critical stages OF the play.
Captain Doyle played desperately and
his stops and plays in the second and
seventh innings were of brand that
made Honus Wagner's name famous.
eddie Collins carried off the fielding
honors for the Athletics, although other
plays were little short of remarkable.

CONGRESS PROBE
FOR BEEF TRUST
Leading Members of the House Promise
Kinkead of New Jersey Sweep
ing Investigation.

Washington, Oct. Congressman
Knkead of New Jersey, representing the
Jersey City district, who recently intro
duced in the House resolution for an
investigation of the beef trust, has been
assured by leading members of the
House judiciary committee that the
committee will make sweeping inves-
tigation the coming winter.
Mr.. Kinkead declared Yesterday that
ii the investigation WIS., made there
would be no question. of the startling
exposures that wortd develop. He be-
lieves it inevitable that it will open the
way to criminJ prosecutions. He said
he had evidence regarding the opera
tons of Toe trust in. New Jersey that
alone could reveal abuses of a grave
character which ought to be punished
by sending the men responsible to Jail.
IF the attorney general wants to bet
ter conditions in this country" said Mr..
Kinkead, my advice is to devote nine
tenths of his time to the beef trust
and the other one-tenth TO the tobacco
and other trusts. The five cents a day
which may be exacted from consumers
of tobacco or the five and one half cents
which is asked by the sugar trust for a
pound of sugar, do not cause any serious
complaint that purchasers are not get
ting their moneys worth, but every
body knows that tho bousekaenar who
buys steak, chops, and other kinds OF
meats at present prices is not getting
the value for which she pays, and is
compelled to pay prices that are indie
fensibly exorbitant."
