BrookIynites Undismayed
by Boston Victory in
First Encounter.
BLAME BAD LUCK
FOR LOSS OF GAME
Hooper's Play in Seventh
and SCOTS in Ninth Come
In for High Praise.
BY FRANK O'NETLL.

Boston. Oct THE Robins were
beaten and their "big gun" was put out
Of action, but the spirit Of the Brook
Ign boys is absolutely undaunted.
They are by far more confident after
losing their first decision than they
were this morning. Now that they have
received their baptism Of FIRE and
proved their courage beyond all cues
ton in a finish which will 20 down IN
the annals OF worlds series games, they
feel that they can and viii 60 right
ahead and drive through 20 a glorious
victory.
There was no attempt after to-day's
game 70 slibi their obvious and costly
blunders The men who erred shout
dcrcd the responsibility OF their deeds
and vowed 20 redeem themselves. All
that Rube Vanguard wants is another
chance. The southpaw never muir
INJURED when his support wabbled and
permitted the Red Sox TO gather those
three runs IN the seventh inning He
simply asked 70 be sent in again on
Monday.
Wlbert Robinson declared tonight
I'm emphatic terms that the Robins
would win the series. He made no
bones about saying that the Red SoN
were lucky 90 win. and that if any one
OF three incidents had not TANNED theiT
way INTO the proceedings red IRE would
bc burning in Flatbush instead OF the
Joss sticks Of woe.

Robins Still CHIPPING,
And Sure They'll Win
The Robins Roost.

Pat Moran. leader Of the Phillies, was
on hand carly. He and Grover Alex
ander were palling around ;hc city.
"Robbic's men are the champions Of
our league and we hope that they Will
bring home the championship of the
world. / have watched Robbie's club
this year. The boys may pull bad
game, but thoy invariably come back
and play like champions" said Moran.
After all. there is not so much TO all
this clatter about facing worlds series
FIRE. Clarence Walker, just up from
the St Louis Browns, and therefore re
motely removed from a worlds series
heretofore, faced Vanguard in the first
inning and tripled. Stergel gathered
in two hits.
The rsrade after the game was a
scream. A brass band Of twenty pieces,
resplendent IN scarlet coats, marched
around the field, followed by four root
ers.
Marquard's move toward first base
riled Bill Carrigan all up. Bill was
kept busy dashing 10 and from the
bench 20 the plate as the RUDE he ID the
runners on first Tommy Connolly re
fused 20 consider his claims OF a balk.
Harry Hooper twisted his ankle when
he caught Cutshaw's fly and retired
Wheat al the plate. United Brook yn
would have drawn lots for the priv
ilege Of twisting his neck.
When speaking of great catches, re-
member the play Hi Myers made on
Harry Hooper's clout in the second
inning. Hi ran back almost to the
bleachers and grabbed the leather.
Duffy Lewis was cheered in the
fourth inning when his double scored
Dick Hobitzell, who had tripled with
two out.
A ink hung over the second position
in the batting orders for a long time.
Both Daubert and Janvrin famed on
their first two trips to the plate.
The camera men scored sweeping
victory over the police. Hank O'Dsy
wanted the photographers put off the
field and called battalion OF cops to
rut them off. but the boys behind the
shutters stood firm and deied the min
ions Of the law.

IOWA ADMITTED TO
UNION OF STATES 60
YEARS AGO TODAY

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 28.-Old Glory
fluttered proudly atop the dome of
the state capitol today in token of the
fact that this was IoWa's SEVENTEEN
birthday anniversary. There was no
official observance of the day, but
plans are already under discussion for
a suitable celebration of the diamond
Jubilee five years hence.
1t was on Dec. %, 1876, that Iowa
was admitted to the union of states by
proclamation of President Polk. At
that time the entire population of the
state amounted to about 100000. IN
the next decade or SO the population in
creased more than three-fold, and in
1860 the census gave the figures as
674.913. BY 1870 the million mark had
been passed and the 1880 count showed
1,824,615. In 1910. the last official Gen.
sus showed population Of 2.224,771.
