Laurel. Nd. Oct s.-The track was
sea OF mud today and as a result
the card was scratched almost in
two. This fact was shown in the

the card. This number was scratch

fast early pace but weakened after
stalling on determined challenge from
Highland Lad at the f1riong pole.
The latter was on the outside Of the
leader all the way. Evidently from
the manner in which Star Carer ran
he did not relish the going.
The steeplechase number was a vel

THE GIANTS AT BAY
By RAY i. HOPPMAN.

BY RAY i. HOFFMAN,.
Though they're battered. bruised and
torn
And their faces look forlorn,
They are shouting for their war cry
of dcfance:-
1--WE WILL win. oh, White sox clan!
For we're better to a man
Than your team with all It's cley-
erness and science"
Though they got It proper twice,
Yet those trimmings don't suffice
For team that likes the din of
baseball battle;
Though they're weary. sore and lame,
Still they're fighting mad-and gafne
And their warlike whoops are heard
in far Seattle.
They are up against II, stiil
They possess an iron will
And they'll WIN the series yet OF
die in tryifg:
Like leopard in cage
They are blind and mad with rage,
And they'll WIN-hear that? they'll
WIN! There's no denying.

JUPITER PLUVIUS Is
JINX FOR CHICAGO
Rain Halts White Sox in Dash for
Worlds Title-Weather
Not Favorable.
Ry ARTHUR sTUEwE.

New York. Oct. s.-old Jupiter Piu-
vius batted 1000 today. As pinch
hitter he was a success. He was the
whole thing in the world series con-
test and needed only one stanza to
sing a swan song TO today's game.
Fifteen thousand fans had gone to
the Polo Grounds to see the first game
Of the Glants-White Sox clash IN
this city; and the third game OF the
series between these two teams 1t
was not until nearly ] o'clock when
the game was called OF. The Polo
Grounds were then a field OF mud. It
had rained intermittently all morn
ing and steadily for two hours be-
fore the postponement was announc-
ed. And the fans were bitterly dis
appointed
The game will be played OF tomor-
row, weather permitting. II Is still
raining tonight. Tarpaulins have been
thrown over the diamond to keep
il in playing condition. But It will
take the brightest rays from Old Sol
10 dry I'D the outfeld. Water polo
would be a more appropriate sport
on the field as It appears tonight.
But the weather man says it will
be fair and warmer tomorrow. Last
night he said 1t would be fair and
colder today. 1t was a $3.50 guess
on his part. 1t was colder all right
heavy wraps and sweaters were a
comfort. But the weather man spill
ed the beans on the fair proposition.
And many fans are betting tonight
that he will be wrong again tomor-
row.
The second game will be played on
Thursday. It was announced. and the
game originally scheduled for Friday
In Chicago-the fifth game-will be
played in the Windy City next Satur-
day provided the White Sox do not
make a cleanup In the two games
In New York.
The Giants looked upon the posi-
ponement as a good omen. They feel
that II Will be a good thing for Hhem
to have another day OF rest and re-
cover their equilibrium which they
lost in Chicago Sunday. AS one OF
the players said:
I'VE sure did break some altitude
records out West but we have now
volplaned safely to earth. We have
weights on our shoes and there will
be no more ascensions."
The White Sox are disappointed be-
cause VI Tie set DdCh. 1hcy nave
planned to make a clean sweep of the
series. They figured they had the
Giants number and wanted to get at
them and put the finishing touches on
the blows they gave Manhattan's
prides in Chicago.
The postponement may dlsarrange
McGraw's plans for the first game.
Today It was thought Benton would
get the call for the nitchinx honors
but 1t Is now likely that the Giants
leader may send Slim Sallee back at
the White Sox. II will also give Nc

Slim SALLEE SEEMS
SAVIOR Of GIANTS
Southpaw Heaving of Veteran Ex-
pected to Halt White Sox.
By JACK yEIOCE.

New York, Oct. 9-With their backs
to the wall and the heaviest kind OF
odds against them, the Giants, wealth
er permitting, will make a desperate
effort to come back today in the third
game OF the worlds series with the
White Sox.
Under the peaceful shadows of
Coogan's Bluff, the men o'McGraw
will face little Eddie Cicotte for the
second time, and unless they can
solve the cunning Of his arm the Sox
will be in a position to make a clean
sweep OF the series.
That McGraw will send one of his
left-handers against Cicotte seems
a certainty, and 1t will not be sur
prising to see him hurl Slim Sallee
back at the Sox, for Sallee looks like
the sole hope of the New York Club.
However, Benton has not worked yet,
and Schupp wants another chance.
But regardless of the pitchers, 1t will
be up to the Giants to play some real
baseball II they hope to win a single
game. So far they have played ball
like a team which had lost its back
bone, and in Sundays game they
looked like minor leaguers.
On their home grounds they may
be expected to do much better. They
will have the crowd with them, and
they will be encouraged by the
friendly roofing. the lack of which
seemed to bother them in Chicago.
1t Is, true, as Giant sympathizers
claim, that McGraw's team SO far
has failed miserably TO show half
its strength. They have not play
ed the baseball of which they are
capable under normal conditions.
The fact that they are in a worlds
series seems to have them ratified.
The White Sox are just the OPP
posite. They are as cool as cucum-
bers on the field, and they have
shown their ability to use brains as
well as Drawn and muscle, by shift
ing their attack in a surprising
manner. while the Giants were cen
tent to play the old army game
and trust to luck. which never came
The Giants have been a team with
set Of uniforms and a prayer, but
they may wake up today.
IL McGraw's men are to uphold
their regulations as batsmen, it is
high time they got started. So far
they have been outbatted by the
White Sox. They have also been
outfielded, outpitched and out
fought. The figures show where the
class may be found. yet one big
inning. the kind for which McGraw's
team has had a penchant all sea-
son. may help them stave OF de-
feat by winning one of the games
mere. The chilly winds that played
about the Polo Grounds this morn
ing augured poorly for the giants.
With Eddie Cicotte scheduled to
pitch, the Sox were sure of hurler
who can go big in almost any kind
OF weather. and proof of this may
be found in the records for the sea-
son Just passed. which show that
on April IA. on a cold, unfriendly
cay, Clcotte pitched no-hit game
against the Browns. The Giants
have no pitcher who stands out as
an all-weather man. such as the
veteran Eddie.

Sideights from Paddock
AT Laurel Race Course

I Weather conditions were responsible
for a small attendance. The club
house was almost deserted, while the
grandstand was about half filed. The
rainy cold weather kept the atten-
dance down and only the regulars
were on hand.
As the horses were going to the post
in the closing number a high wind
was blowing and this should make
the track good by today. The track
Is a well built one and has a COM
plete drainage system and the water
that remains from the rainstorm of
yesterday will all be dried out by
the time the horses so to the post.
Mars Cassidy the well-known starter
was on hand and welded the flag in
place of Jimmie Milton. TIE latter
has been serving during Mr.. Cassi-
dy's absence in New York.
The management of the Laurel
course is doing everything possible
to have the track In good shape for
Thursday. when Hourless and Omar
Kayyham meet in the match race for
purse of $4,000 and an elegant gold
cup valued at $500 which is being Of
fered to the winner by Med" Nc
Lean. the well-known young WASH
ington sportsman.
The fact that the track was heavy
today docs not signify anything. The
course Is so well drained that it can
dry out over night and as the man
agement will have toams working on
1t all night long, no Doubt the course
viii be in good shape for the match.
August Belmont, chairman of the
Jockey Club and owner of Hourless
will arrive tomorrow to witness the
race, and a record-breaking crowd
Is looked for

1917 Football.
Those who believe that very lit
tie football will be played this spicy
autumn are entitled to another
guess.
There won't be as much inter-
collegiate football, but every army
post or cantonment will soon be
replete with elevens, many of them
including some of the best known
stars in the game.
This will be especially true of the
South. where most Of the army
posts are, and where football can
be played until late December. whe-

Sir: Here's a golf argument I'd
like to have you settle. / claim there
are fewer mashie players than there
are good putters. A friend says I'm
crazy; that there are fewer first-class

We have never attempted any otfi-
cial tests along this line. But our
off-hand opinion is that there are
more good putters than there are
good mashie players. A frst-class
mashie player is a rare sight. They
are only found in sparsely settled
groups. Whereas, we know a good
