CHICAGO, October 1o.-Howaro
Ehmke, who lulled the Cubs to sleep
with his slow ball Tuesday, was cheered
Justify yesterday. He cavorted about
left field during the AS practice.
II think I could tame the Cubs
again." he said.
TWO rajahs, one of them of swat and
another of royal household, were
present. "Rajah" Hornsby of the Cubs
was one: the genuine one was rajah of
Kapurthala, India, who said he had
often heard Of the Cubs second sacker.
Gabby Hartnett, ailing Cub catcher,
Is the strikeout pinch hitter of the Sc
ries so far. With two on and two out
he batted for Blake and whitfield. He
did the same thing Tuesday.
Said John McGraw to Nick Altrock,
Remember when I got a two-bagger
of you in 1898 to beat you?"
why bring that up?" chirped Nick.
Blankets were at a premium yester-
day because of the chilly blasts. Many
wrapped their legs up with newspapers
and then tossed them on the field and
seats, as park attendants frowned.
English, the goat Of the first game
because Of his two bad errors in the
ninth inning, got big ovation when
he came up to bat in the first inning.
He got bigger one when he got the
first hit Of the game.
Capt. Grimm stood the crowd on It's
head by standing on his own in the sec
ond inning. English flelded Foxx's roller
and tossed far wide of first base The
Cub "joker wild" snatched 1t out Of the
dirt with his mitt, touched first and
rolled over on his own head.
Catcher Cochrane sat on his launches
and glared at Earnshaw for almost half
a minute when Big George" got into a
jam because of his wildness in the third
inning. It had a steadying effect on
the big fellow, too, and he got out Of
the hole.
Hornsby, who had struck out four of
the last times he had batted In the two
games, was booed roundly when he
came up in the fifth inning. He re-
sponded by whacking the first bail to
right for his first hit of the series. It
was the first time the "Rajah" was
given q big boo on Wrigley Field this
year.

Plans to Send Bush Against

in Philadelphia.
BY JOE MCCARTHY,
Managef ChicaSo Cubs.

~ HICAGO. Ill, October 1O.-In
the opening game Of the world
series, might have said that
~ the Athletics got some breaks,
that the Cubs did not, and
won the ball game. The story of yes
terday's game, which found our ball
club on the wrong end Of 9-to-3 score,
wasn't one of breaks at all. The bet
ter ball club won the game. The
Athletics simply outclassed the Cubs,
and that's all there was to it.
They had superb pitching in all save
one inning, when Rogers Hornsby
started a rally that drove Earnshaw
of the hill. They had great pitching
from Earnshaw, especially in the
pinches, up to then, and Lefty Grove
who succeeded Earnshaw, was good
enough to beat any one the rest Of the
way.
The Cubs had more hitting yesterday
than on the day previous, but they
Homer Staggered Malone.
The pitching wasn't so good Ma
right until Foxx hammered that home
run into the left-f1eld bleachers. That
swat was enough to stagger anybody,
and Malone proved no exception.
After that, it became more of a bat
tie than ever for our club. We had a
chance, but when the Athletics kept
right on hitting that chance vanished.
1t is the proper thing, I suppose, to
say that we're not licked. The fact is
that this is true state Of affairs Will
son started hitting the ball yesterday
and the rest Of the club showed some
improvement with the bat. I look for
them to break out with some Of the old
time vigor when they get to Philadel-
phia. This isn't merely the usual state
ment. I am on the square with It.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Over
crowding, lack of sufficient work to
occupy the inmates, excessive heat
and word of riots in eastern peni-
tentiaries we're ascribed today by
Stanford Bates, federal superintend-
ent Of prisons, as the reason for
the insurrection in the LeavenWorth
CKan) federal penitentiary Thurs
day night.
Making public complete report
Of the incident, the immediate
cause of which was said to be a
complaint about rice served with
the noon meal Thursday, Bates said
it is evident that Warden White and
his guards acted creditably and
forestalled what might have been
a much more serious outbreak.
A check-up has shown, he said,
no men escaped, no guards we're
injured, no guns we're found in pos
session of inmates and from the
point OF view of the prisoners, the
insurrectlon was entirely futile"
THE Leavenworth prison vas de-
signed to accommodate, at the most,
not over 1000 prisoners and the
population today is 3,770," Bates
report said.
