I 1 I Chicago's football team defeated its old time rivals from Purdue yesterday by the score of 20 to 0 in the hardest fought game that has been seen on Marshall field this year. It was give and take from start to finish, and.

although the maroons had the better of the argument, when the whistle of the referee bad blown there was not one who did not feel that he had met men worthy of a great fight The score does not show the real intensity of the struggle. From the first kickoff it was a succession of hard. grueling scrimmages; a series of fierce bucks and rushes. In which both teams were forced to exert themselves to the utmost; and when the game was over every man who had taken part in it felt he had done worthy work. The temperature made it especially fatiguing for the participants, and toward the end of the second half reinforcements were sent Into the game by botH coaches to add fresh strength to the tiring elevens.

Ii Is always more or less Injurious to the owners of dirty linen to wash it in public. The outbreak between Bumors That Presidents Comiskey I and Hart of the two nju re the hic a go baseball National Game- clubs over a post-season series will do baseball considerable Injury In Chicago, at least temporarily. There is a certain element of the public always looking for crookedness baseball and ready to believe any suspicions which may account in their minds for the uncertainties of the game. which their mental caliber does not permit them to understand.

To these the present controversy will be meat and drink for many days to come. But the charges which were made public last week for the first time have been industriously circulated for the greater part of a-year. from hp to lip until they had done as great harm as publicity could do. it will be a benefit to baseball. therefore.

to thrash the affair out in the full light of day and ascertain the facts. President Hart of the Colts is of the opinion that one of his pitchers was tampered with in last fall's series. By whom he does not say. He should have brought that pactier to book at once and, if his suspicions were true. should have forever banished him from baseball.

The player was under contract at the time and just as amenable to panishmcnt by either the National league or the national CarraniStil011 as at any time during the baseball season. The Colt magnate explained his failure to prefer charges agalust the player by his desire to eerevent a poseible injury to baseball. That would not have beea wise even if he had locked the secret in his own mind and never given utterance to his suspicions. Instead he has made no secret of the matter among his friends and patrons of the game. while declining to make a public statement concerning it.

The consequence was the affair gained almost as wide and a more harmful circulation than if publicly treated. The action of President Comisites in forcing a public issue with President lltt is, therefore, commendable. in spite of the temporary injury it may do baseball. It will result in a complete sifting of the whole matter by the national commission in the full light of publeity and In severe punishment for the offending player if he is found guilty of the charges President Hart has made against him. it will be discovered eventually in all probability that the whole damaging affair is the product of the Imagintlfl the player at fault.

Nothing can be proved against him except hlis own statements, and his reputation is such that those are not worth a moment's consideration. This will be established by the national commission investigation and will result doubtless in ridding baseball forever of the imaginative pitcher. This result will be worth whatever temporary injury to the game it may mean- There is no room in baseball for crook" or for those 'who say they are crooks. EASY GAME AT EVANSTON. ISOME-.

OFF SIDE PLAYS. I BIG SCORE, FOR FOOTBALL RESULTS. 1 1 I1 Game Today. AMERICAN LEAGUE. St Louis at Chicago two games.

NATIONAL LEAGUE. Pittsburg at Chicago. Citicinuati at St. Luuis games. Boston.

Oct. 8.Special--The Boston Americans won both games in the double header with New York here today. the first by a score of 13 to 2 and the second by a score of 1 to 0 in seven Innings. The attendance was a record breaker, more than 28.000 persons giving up good money. anti they felt after the contest was over that they had received all that was coming to them.

The double victory gives Poston a good lead over the Highlanders. and Collins' men, will now have to win only one of the two games to be played In New York on Monday in order to cinch the pennant for the second time, while Griffith's boys must take both the remaining games in order to secure the honor for which they have struggled so vallantly. If Boston loses the first game and can tie the other. or If it rains. Collins' men will nose New York out tit the finish.

Boston players as well as the fans here think the club's chances are now much better than even. Although Chesbro won a game against Boston in New York yesterday. Griffith thought he would be able to repeat today. and if he could get away with the first game It would so demoralize the champions that the second one would come easy.

For twenty minutes of the first half neither goal line was crossed. Eckersall had dropped a goal from the thirty-three yard line, but the four points thus gained were the only ones Stagg's men had been able to show.

It was not until the first period of play was nearing its close that Bezdek was pushed across the line for the first touchdown. The second half was as hard fought as the first. Toward the end Purdue weakened, and the Chicago backs, reinforced by fresh blood, began to bore their way through the stubborn, though tiring defense of the Boilermakers. But even to the end it was a bitter struggle, wad at the last moment of play the Indianans proved their mettle by taking the ball on their own five yard line and saving at least five points from being added to the store. Purdue surprised the Chicago rooters by both its offensive and defensive play.

The weakness with which the visitors hit the maroon line in the game between the two teams last year was missing. and in Its place was an attack that had both speed and quickness. It was just such an attack that Stagg had feared, and for which has been training his proteges for the last week. It had steam and speed back of it. It formed quickly, anti was fairly compact.

The defense presented by the Lafayette team was stubborn and gritty, the men on the line charging hard and low, and the ends and defensive halves breaking the interference well. Maroons Show Improvement Chicago's work was a decided improvement over anything it has shown this year. The work of the backfield was of first class caliber. Catlin, Bezdek, and De Tray all making good gains through the Purdue line. De Tray at times skirting left end for gains of ten or fifteen yards.

On defensive work the line showed up better than was expected. Their charging was the most encouraging the Midway rooters have seen. and. although the play as a whole falls short of championship form, it was of a style to inspire maroon adherents with confidence of better things. Another source of congratulation to local rooters was the fact every score made by Chicago, with the exception of Eckersall's goal, was the result of straight, steady football.

There were few long runs. At no time did a ruAner get away from the opposing team. Simple formations were the only ones used by the maroons, and all their gains were made by straight and cross bucks by full and half backs. Purdue's offense was a-trifle more varied. The Harvard tandem style, which Coach Cutts introduced at Purdue last year.

WES used almost entirely with numerous shifts and changes in the line. which at times puzzled the Chicago men. The old quarter back kick was tried by them no less than three times, proving a ground gainer only once, one of the attempts being blocked, and another going too far. Fumbling Is Too Frequent. One discouraging feature of the game from the Chicago standpoint was the frequent fumbling.

Luck favored the maroons. as almost always the ball was recovered by a maroon player. but on one occasion, when Bezdek dropped the ball on the Purdue three yard line, what looked like a sure touchdown was prevented by the Purdue forwards. For Chicago, the backs, as usual. showed to best advantage, De Tray being especially brilliant in advancing the ball.

Bezdelt, who remained in the game until the last few minutes of play, also made good gains. In getting down the field under punts Capt. Speik and Catlin did unusually good work. the former several tunes nailing the runner in his tracks. In the position of quarter back, both Johnston and Eckersall ran their teams well.

The first score was made when Chicago was held for three downs on Purdue's thirty-three yard line. Until this time the defense of the boilermakers had proven stubborn. and Eckersall gave the signal for an attempt at goal. The ball passed high in the air, directly between the goal posts. It was tat until near the end of the first half that Chicago scored again, shortly after holding Purdue for downs on her own forty yard line.

From this point the ball was carried by steady rushes of two. three, and five yards to the five yard Brie. where. after being held for two downs, Bezdek took the ball over the line. Chesbro Weakens in Fourth.

1 Chesbro could not deliver the goods. It was asking too much of him. After shutting out Boston for three innings he weakened I in the fourth, and was hit safely by almost 1 i every man in the opposing team. When Parent came to bat for the second time.la i "the inning and was retired for the third man, 1 out the home team had piled up six runs. That was enough for the star pitcher, and i he gave way to Clarkson.

The ex-collegian was wild and ineffective, and was hit almost 1 as hard as was his predecessor. i Dineen, who was sent after the first game i by Collins, was in fine form and never worked harder than he did today. When Dougherty I opened the game with a clean single to cen- ter and Keeler followed with a safe bunt it looked as if Billy was going to be it But he got busy and threw Elberfelo Lm. first, Dougherty going to third and Keeler I to second. Dougherty scored on a fly to I center field.

Neither Reeler nor Dougherty I got another hit off the Boston artist, the former striking out three times. Only six i hits were made by the visitors, Anderson making two of them, both doubles, into the crowd, and on one of them he scored New York's second run. 4. In the second game Young was pitted against Powell, and both were effective. 1 I With perfect support there would have been no scoring.

Ferris got in a scratch single in the fifth inning and was sacrificed to second by Criger. Young hit a fly to Anderson i in deep center, and Hobe took third on the out, scoring the only run of the game. as Anderson's throw to get him at third was missed by Conroy. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness. Loving Cup for Collins.

I Collins was presented by admirers with a I magnificent loving cup and put up a great I game both at the bat and in the field.

The players in question were accused by a member of the committee of handing in incorrect scores. and, on their own admission, they had made an error in the count at one hole.

Of late it has customary to send pairs away without scorers.

WORK OF HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS. Englewood Ties Armour Institute North Division Hai an Easy GameOther Play.

Ann Arbor, Oct. work of the Michigan team in defeating Kalamazoo today by the score of 95 to 0 proved the wisdom of the change in the rush line made by Coach Yost during the last week. Right end, the pivotal point of the line. was filled by Tom Hammond, who played in splendid form. The Chicago boy, in addition to playing a star game at end, made a record for himself as a goal kicker, succeeding in fifteen cut of sixteen trials for goal from touchdown.

Capt. Heston also established a record. be alone being responsible for gains aggregating more than 400 yards. Michigan made the first touchdown in just seven plays, Harry Hammond carrying tne ball across the line. Owing to a penalty imposed the distance gained was 110 yards, the exact distance from goal to goal.

The next touchdown was made in three -plays including the brilliant return of 4he kickoff by Norcross. and -a sixty yard run by Heston -which placed the ball between the goal posts. Kalamazoo was playing a good game considering that its eleven averaged only 165 pounds. The ends and defensive backs dived low under the Michigan offense. Phelps, Kalamazoo's 115 pound quarter, playing defensive full.

repeatedly dropped Heston after the great half had picked his way through Al Phelps teammates. But Heston was in great form and broke through once for a run of sixty-five yards and touchdown, and again for forty-five yards. The whole team was putting up a great game. Clark, the new end who took Tom Hammond's place. used his immense strength to drag four men ten yards for a touchdown.

He had sprinted twenty yards before being tackled. Tom Hammond, as an offensive tackle, proved to be a better ground gainer than the veteran, Curtis. Whenever Michigan lost ground en penalties and needed twenty-five yards on one buck it was Tom Hammond to whom Field Capt. Norcross gave tke ball. When the score was 48 to 0 Michigan began a kicking game, with Harry Hammond booting the ball.

There was not time enough to score again before the half ended. Lineup: Michigan (951. I Kalamazoo 0. R. Clark.

Dear Alonzo, sweet Alonzo. How would you fawncy Dennis for your other nime Lombard was unable to furnish anything better than a light practice game in which Northwestern could try out both men and new plays yesterday, and the small college went down to defeat before the university with the final score 55 to 0. the largest made by the Methodists in years. MoCornack's team had no difficulty in gaining five Or ten yards at a clip, and the score woold have been still greater had not the coach seen fit to give all his men a show and to run off all his new plays which are not yet perfected. The fact the purple gained so steadily and surely was due to excellent team work, the pulling and pushing game.

which McCornack has been striving for and which gives the credit of victory to the whole team Instead of to individual stars. The weak opposition of the Lombard eleven and the constant changing of the purple lineup prevented an exact estimate of the strength of the Evanston team, and every man who went into the game was able to shear to advantage against the high school playing of the Galesburg men. 1 Spectacular Plays Are Made. Those who made the spectacular plays of the day were Blair, who was able to cover ten yards at a time; Johnson and Turner, who brought back the kicks in good fashion; Afton, whose end runs brought cheers; and Simpson, who took the ball from the kickoff for a touchdown. The work of each of the purpie men showed promise of prowess in the big- games.

For the Lombard eleven Bradshaw and Winstrom did good work in checking the advance of the furple. The kickoff was brought by Johnson' from the goal line to the twenty yard line. From there the purple backs made at least five yards on every play until Rueber went over. Johnson kicked the goal. The second score came as easlly as the first, as a result of long bucks by Blair, Bucher, and Simpson, who went over.

Jehnson again kicked goal. After a dozen plays from the kickoff Simpson again scored. and Johnson kept up his good work of adding the extra point. The next score was the most sensational of the day. Simpson caught the ball from the kickoff on the ten yard line and ran the length of the field for a touchdown.

For the first time this year Johnson failed in his attempt at goal. Befere the next score punts were exchanged. Blair got two nice nee off, one of them rolling across the goal line. Lombard tried to buck, and lost the ball on downs on the ten yard line. Rueber scored and Johnson kicked goal.

Safety Adds Two More Points. A safety, when a bad pess to Justis for a punt from behind his own goal line forced him to touch the ball down, added two to the score. Time was called for the half just as Johnson brought the ball back from the punt out to the five yard line, -with the score 51 to O. 1 Early in the game McCornack began putting in substitutes, and the opening of the second half saw the purple lineup weakened. During the first half nothing but bucks, save for a few runs by Johnson, were tried.

But in the second the speed halves," moon and Van were put in after two touchdowns. made by Rueber and Jenkins, and showed their quality by scoring a touchdown after two runs of thirty yards each. When Moon vitnt over be was carried for the last ten yards by Allen and MePherrin. Turner, who had replaced Johnson, tried two drop kicks before the next and last score, which was made by King from full after two long bucks. He also kicked the goal, making the final score 55 to O.

At that time Pittsburg and Cleveland were in third place. Today both clubs are in fourth place.

Tonight both may be in third place again, or one may be third and the other fourth, depending on the results of today's games here and in St. Louis.

Umpires-- Sheridan and Connolly. BLUES SECURE AN EVEN BREAK. Detroit and Cleveland Finish the Season with Double Header, Each Winning a Game. Minneapolis, Oct: Minnesota put up a poor exhibition in today's game against North Dakota and the 2,000 loyal supporters who came out in the cold were much disappointed. The score was 35 to O.

It cannot be denied that a decided reversal in form has taken bold of Dr. Williams men. Hunter is greatly needed at quarter back. but is not likely to be in shape for a week at least. In the first half Minnesota was repeatedly penalized for holding and offside play.

But two touchdowns were made during the twenty minutes of play. One of these was made on a puke after Minnesota had been held for downs on Dakota's yard line. The visitors' punt was then blocked and Vita fell on the ball behind the line: Afinnesota was repeatedly held for downs. For Minnesota Kremer. and Marshall proved to be the most consistent ground gainers, and Davies and Current the strongest in defense.

and was shut out. The second game went but five Innings. Scores: Purdue Defense Weakens. In the second half Purdue started off vtith rush. which teemed to carry the maroons off their feet.

The defense of the Boilermakers weakened in this however, though It was always strong at critical moments. In this period Chicago made longer gains, and but for fumbling and a magnificent stand by Purdue in the last few minutes of play would have scored two more touchdowns than were made. As it was, De Tray was twice shoved across the line. As the end of the game drew near substitutes were sent repeatedly to strengthen the teams, nine men leaving the maroon side lines to participate in the game and four from the Purdue side of the field-After the game both coaches expressed themselves well satisfied with the work of their respective teams. The boys did well," was Stagg's comment.

Their offense was first class, and, although the work of the line at times could have been better, I have no complaint to make." We did well as I could expect." was the statement of Coach Cutts of Purdue. We were but my men played football to the finish. Chicago had too many good backs for us." Lineup: Chicago Purdue M. R. E.

8.The Carlisle Indians defeated Bucknell 10 to 4, In a desperate football game today which was notable for free fighting between the teams. Twice the police were called upon to separate the belligerents, and the spectators swarmed on the field. In the first half the Indians seemed to outclass Bucknell. In the 9econd half the Bucknellians were desperate and several times were penalized for rough play. The trouble culminated In a free fight between members of the two teams.

The field was cleared by the police and play resumed. The Indians were rushing the ball toward Bucknell's goal when the slugging again broke into an open fight. This time the police had hard work in quelling the disturbance, and the fight raged for five minutes. Quiet was finally restored and play Carlisle In- If you don't think the late lamented Mr. 'Whitney sras a good friend of the turf.
