Charge That Giants Laid
Down" Causes a
Big Stir.
By w. o. MCCLELLAN.

The National League will act on the
accusation Of John J. McGraw that the
Giants laid down" in the crucial game
of the Brooklyn series. McGraw will
be reprimanded officially by the Ma
tional League.
This has not been announced by the
league, but one National League mag
nate has declared that this is the pro-
gramme, despite the announcement
made by John X. Tener that no no.
tice would be taken of the implied
charges. The outburst of McGraw,
while it was not taken up at any set
baseball meeting, has been the topic
of more conversation among the mag
mates than the coming worlds series.
Whatever the officials of the league
NAV say it is certain that McGraw is
to De disciplined. Whether or not the
Little Napoleon will submit TO this
remains to be seen. 1t is planned to
make the disciplining as mild as pos
sible, if he is willing to turn the other
cheek and accept the chastisement, but
should McGraw come before the league
in q belligerent attitude something
more serious may result.
This is not the only issue which is

Traction and Milk Strikes

M'GRAW'S TRADE
FORGOTTEN BY FANS
Brooklyn Counts on Mar
guard to Win First
Game of Big Series.
By w. ]. MACBETH.

Little Old New York to-day will be
left fiat on its back, with nothing more
important for scare-head lines than the
traction and milk strikes. The Ma
tional Commission picks up its bed and
no, not walks-hustles to Boston on
special car we'll provided with this
worlds comforts. The Brooklyn club,
too, with its retinue, will depart for
the Hub. Where the National Com
mission goes Gin a worlds series) the
heart of the Republic is bound to fol-
low.
Everybody from this neck-of-the-
woods who has the price as well as
the inclination will trek toward the
City of Culture not later than mid
night to sit in at the first contest for
the 1916 worlds championship between
the Brooklyn Robins and the Boston
Red Sox. at Braves Field, Boston, to-
morrow afternoon. If there were any
apprehension that John j. McGraw's
late outburst against the discipline
rather lack of it-among his ranks in
the deciding game of the National
League pennant race might cloud the
glory of Brooklyn's triumph such
doubt was removed in a renewed wave
of enthusiasm that swept the greater
city yesterday.
For the time at least John j. Nc
Graw has been forgotten. Fandom has
time only for speculation on the proba-
BILE batteries for the opening game.

eve of the series. The statement of
Ban Johnson in regard to the McGraw
matter has reused the ire of the Ma

picturesquely and potently: "lf this

The National League magnates inn
piled that Mr.. Johnson had plenty of

laundry of the National League to
raise Gehenna. Thus McGraw has not

Fate Plays Zigzag Part
in Case of Robbie'S
Southpaw Star.
By CRANTLAND RICE.

Fate plays n queer and zigzag part
IN this brief, overestimated fare-up
known as Fame.
For you may recall the case of one
known as Richard Msrquard, listed
among the Renowned Rubes of all time.
How many in the game have ever
known, in such few breaths of exist
ence, such dizzy turns Of fortunes?
Five years ago the Eminent RUDE was
just plunging into fame. Four years
ago he was on his rollicking way to
nineteen straight. That same season he
was the first Giant pitcher in the Octo-
Der series TO stop the Red Sox with an
abrupt thud. beating them to l, as we
recall the intimate details.
Only three years ago he had another
great season. Yet the days of Mar
guards Giant greatness seem to be
back in another age, hidden away by
the mists that only decade could de-
vclop.
In 1911 Marquard won twenty-four
games and lost seven; in 1912 he won
twenty-six and lost eleven; in 1913 he
won twenty-three and lost ten.
From that date on the Spiral South
law. who beyond doubt, so far as
baseball goes, is one of the favored
Sons of Destiny. has been lurking back
in the shadows.
In 1914 he won twelve games and lost
twenty-five, and when he slipped again
a year ago McGraw decided that his
career was about over. and so gave
Robby a chance to get any last linger-
ing usage from the remnants of his
left arm.
But in place of subsiding gently. and
fading out of the picture, here we have
the Rube again pattering once more
toward the spotlight AS the situation
stands to-day, he will be the first
Prooklyn pitcher rushed in to face Bos-
ton bats; and, judging from his work
in recent games, Boston is pretty sure
TO need everything she has in stock to
roll the ex-Giant back. 1t would be
wonderful return If Marquard could
finish as one of the leading heroes IN
this series, when only year ago ms
story was considered written and ms
case closed out. And he belongs to that
spectacular type, guarded by Fate, that
nay turn just such trick.
We have seen the RUDE under hre
Good many times, and in the Main Mo-
ments we have never yet seen him quit.

straight and the job Of winning a
Notwithstanding game for league
record. He may not beat man ike
Babe Ruth or Dutch Leonard, but he
is rretty sure to give either first class
battle and stick TO the finish.
II is as easy to please or satisfy the
Frenzied Fanatic as it is to hoist the
Singer Building with a toothplck.
Judging from the epistles we have re-
ceived lately anent our comment on
the second Brooklyn game, we
made but two serious mistakes.
/. In letting the Giants off too easy
and not taking a harsher stand against
the entire club.
2. In criticising them at all for
natural let-down after a record break
ing run. -
It's the simplest thing in the world
in this peppery game to wind up WIN
out pleasing anybody. Knowing in ad-
vance that neither faction is going to
care for what one writes, it is then
an easy proposition to put 1t down
lust ms It looks and let it go at that
without further ado, bother or concern
We have also been astonished 10
learn from a number of Brooklyn non
combatants that we have been riding
the Robins all season without award
ing any credit for their pennant WIN
ming play. This last outburst came
because we failed to pick Brooklyn to
beat out Boston in the impending
series. Brooklyn may win. But If the
advance dope points in another dlrec-
ton. what trail is left except to follow
where the vital statistics beckon? To
say that Brooklyn hasn't a chance is
foolish. But to say that Brooklyn
should beat Ruth, Leonard and Shore
four times out of seven starts is also
foolish. She may do it, baseball being
replcte with its bizarre turns. But
what little logic the game may carry
doesn't offer this answer.
We have a bale of confidence in the
pinch-pitching ability of Jack Coombs
and RUDE Marquard. We know the
batting possibilities of Buck Wheat,
Jake Daubert and Casey Stengel. But
the Boston ball club to-day looks to be
the best machine in the game-one
with greater experience, greater re
source and greater defensive strength.
So far as credit goes, Brooklyn de-
serves a world OF it for holding her
place in front so long. There Is
world of bunk about the nerve re-
CURED to come from behind and win:
The best nerve in existence is needed
by the front runner who is bearing the
heavier burden and setting the pace.
Brooklyn did this most of the year
and outside of her one cave-in against
the Phillies, more than met the test.
AS for the dope, who knows? II was
an ex-Giant pitcher. Richard Rudolph,
who played the leading part in wreck
ing the old Mackian machine. II may
be another ex-Giant pitcher by. the
name of Richard who will play lead
ing role in awarding Boston her first
world series defeat. Queerer things
have happened since Hector was pup.

MERRY SCRAMBLE
ON FOR TICKETS
TO BIG SERIES

Boston, Oct. 5.-Seekers OF reserved
seats took on the appearance Of
bleacher crowds to-day in the scramble
for reservations for the world series
baseball games, which begin here on
Saturday. Women and staid business
men We'd with messenger boys and
others in their efforts to gain promi-
nent places in the line. No actual dis
order developed, but the police were
called upon to reform lines, and club
employees endeavored unnecessarily to
placate disappointed applicants who
olamored for answers TO their written
requests for seats.
The rush for reservations was re-
suit Of a new system, made necessary
this year, President J. J. Lannin Of the
Boston Americans explained, because
Of the late date upon which the Amer
lean League race was decided. By this
system successful applicants received
"A number calling for tickets Of a GER
tain class, without definite designa-
ton Of the seats, as in other years.
In all probability, club officials
agree, more persons have been disap-
pointed through failure TO receive
tickets this year than ever before. The
fact that the series opens here and that
the third game in this city, the fifth
Of the series. will be played on Column
bus Day, a holiday, if the schedule is
followed, has greatly increased the de-
mand. Hundreds OF requests have
been refused.
An indication Of the number Of re-
fusals was shown in the statement
to-day Of man who speculatcs in such
tickets that he had caused eighteen

two seats. and had received word 10

MARCH ON PEK|NG

Petrograd. Jan. S1.--Twenty
thousand Mongolian rebels are
marching toward Peking. according
to Mukden dispatches today.
This is perhaps the most serious
move thus far reported in the Chin
ese revolution against the new mon
archy. Reports have been current
for weeks indicating that the trouble.
|centering in Yunnan province and
whereabouts, has been increasing gra-
dually. Recently dispatches indicated
that the emperor's friends were hav-
ing difficulty in making progress
against the rebels. This reported
new move is the most daring stroke
yet undertaken by the revolutionists,
but whether It will meet with any
success depends upon the loyalty OF
Yuan Shi Kai's monarchial troops,
and this point can only be conjec-
tured.

obtained In the river and harbor bill
this session. II is the policy OF con-
gress to reject oil projects on which
adverse reports are submitted. The
report OF the engineers on Rogue
river. which gave the project black
eye. is In part as follows:
"At the mouth OF the Rogue river
is q harbor three-fourths OF mile
wide. Gasoline boats OF draft not
exceeding nine feet can enter the
river from the ocean and navigate
the harbor. and small launches oper-
ate as far as Agness. Fl miles from
the mouth. At the entrance OF the
harbor the channel is contracted to
a width OF about 100 feet at lower
low water and Is confined between
sand spits for about 1000 feet. The
town OF Gold Beach with popula-
tion OF about $50, is situated on the
south bank near the mouth. and the
town OF Wedderburn. with popula-
tion OF about so. is situated on the
north bank. The commerce consists
principally OF salmon. lumber pro.
ducts, hogs, wool and general mer-
|chandise, reported at a little over
3 900 tons in 1914. The improvement
desired Is the construction Of one or
two jetties to protect and enlarge the
channel entrance.
"The district officer reports that
there Is no prospect OF securing local
cooperation in bearing the cost OF
the work. He believes that any i'm
provement OF the Rogue river would
be very expensive and difiicult to
maintain; that the present facilities
are ample for the present, and that

A POSSIBLE NEW INDUSTRY.

A POSSIBLE NEW INDUSTRY.
The local field superintendent for
the Oregon-Utah Sugar company
sees the prospect of the building up
Of great industry in the Rogue
valley through the growing of sugar
beet seed. For years European coun-
tries. principally Germany. have
been the source Of the supply for
American beet growers, more than
half the seed at the present time
coming from across the water. The
war has cut of many Of the Euro
pean sources of supply. and America
suffers, there not being seed enough
this year to meet the demands. Mr..
Bramwell states it as his belief that
this valley will produce beet seed to
perfection, and that seed growing
can be made equally important to
sugar making. He will, therefore,
make tests during the season, and
through his investigations new in
dustry may be built up in the valley
that will open an avenue to greater
profits from the soil.
