But with everything erroneous cut out of the score, the best the South Siders could have made of it wa3 a 1 to 0 defeat for themselves with only two safe hits.

OFFICIALS FEAR BLOCKADE One Eastern Road Is Short 4,235 Cars.

Congestion of Trafio Is Worst on Xastern Lines Serious on Western" Lines Chicago, Oct. 11. Tht congestion of freight traffic has increased so fast winthin the last few days that railway officials fear they are soon to be face to face with a blockade. Conditions on the Eastern roads which have not only to handle the business which they originate, tut have tie crops of the West pouring in upon them for export, are naturally the worst, but those on the Western lines also are rapidly becoming extremely serious. With the approach of winter the movement of coal has swiftly grown heavier, aggravating the congested conditions which already existed, and traffic men say that they do not know what they will do for cars wrhen the year's enormous crop of corn is ready for market, as it will be now in a short time.

A line belonging to one of the big Eastern systems yesterday had orders for 4,233 curs which it could not fill. The Pennsylvania proposes to give notice that foi thirty-six hours it will receive no consignments from the Pittsburg district, the object being to get time partly to clear the tracks of the cars which have accumulated on its lines The Hill lines have given notice that for the present they wrill be unable to receive further consignment, of lumber from Washington to the REPORT OF MISSOURI PACIFIC.

Considering Plans for Rock Island-Frisco Union Depot. D. E. Cain of Topeka, general manager of the Rock Island, arrived in the city last night from Topeka, to spend the day consulting with the local and district officials in regard to operating matters. J.

G. Bloom of Topeka, engineer of maintenance of the Rock Island is a member of Mr. Cain's party. Mr. Cain will go from her to Geary, and probably to Sayre, where he will make an inspection of the western part of the Panhandle division.

Mr. Cain was asked by a Times-Journal man this morning what he knew concerning the union depot project of the Rock Island-Frisco lines in this city. He answered that nothing definite had been done, but it was the ultimate intention of the two roads to build a union depot here. A conference of the officials of the roads interested in the project will be held in the near future to take up the matter. It has been nearly impossible in the past to get the officials here to look the ground over, but it will only be a short time until, the question Is settled.

Oklahoma Times-Journal. KATY ADOPTS NEW PLAN. Takes Strenuous Measures to Keep Trainmen at Work. Joplin, Oct 11. Missouri, Kansas Texas ofllcials in Texas are taking strenuous steps to keep their trainmen at work and to secure more employes.

Notices have been posted that hereafter when trainmen desire to "lay off" on account of sicknecs they are to obtain a permit from trainmasters, to whom it will be necessary to present a doctor's- certificate or other good evidence of disability. It has been the custom for trainmen to report to callers that they were not able to go out, but in the future callers will have no authority to accept excuses. Where a trainman fails to get proper permission it will be con sidered that he has willfully absented himself from duty. -r "CONTINUOUS RAIL" ON TRIAL. St.

Louis, Oct. 11. What is termed a "continuous rail," the invention of a St, Louis man formerly connected with the Missouri Pacific railroad, has been in use on the Terminal Railroad association's tracks- near the Twelfth street bridge for five weeks. Railroad officials believe the invention a practicable one, allowing for contraction and expansion, and obviating practically the jar always transmitted by a car passing over the ordinary open joint. In this joint one on the straps and the end of the two rails are so contrived that the strap forms half the width of the top of the rail for the distance of about four inches.

This makes three joints half way across. When a wheel is passing over one Chicago Cubs Have Won Seven National League Flags. THREE FOR THE WHITE SOX First Time the Same City Has Ever Won Two Pennants. This Is Third World Series-Ioston Wen First, New York Second and Chicago Can't Lose This One. The present world championship baseball series between the two Chicago teams is the third world series to be played under the direction of the National Association of baseball leagues.

The first series was played in 1903 between the Pittsburg Nationals and the Boston Americans. The Ameri cans won five games and the Nationals three out of eight played. The second series was played in 1905 between the New York Nationals and the Philadelphia Americans. The happenings of this series are still fresh in everybody's mind. New York won four out of five.

In 1904 the series was omitted because Manager McGraw, of the New York Giants, refused to meet the Boston Americans. McGraw was criticized severely by fans and club owners generally for laying dowrn. Prior to 1903 there were world championship games played at the close of almost every season, beginning in 1884. But they were not played under rules laid down by any governing body of organized baseball. The first of the so-called world series was between the Providence and the Metropolitan clubs at th'e Polo Grounds in New York in 1884.

Providence won three games. Providence was the leader of the Na tional league and the Metropolitans the old American league. In lssa fct. Louis, of the old American association, and Chicago, of the Nationals, played seven games to a tie, each club winning three and one game being tied. In the seven games Chicago scored 43 runs and St.

Louis 41. Chicago's position in tbe baseball world this year is unique. Never before since organized baseball existed have two pennants been won by clubs of the same city. Whatever the outcome of the series, Chicago cannot lose. This year is not the first by any means that Chicago has won a pennant.

The Chicago Nationals led the league in 1876, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1SS3 and 188G. This year's winning makes the seventh National league pennant brought to the Windy City in thirty years. Since the reorganization of tae American league in 1900, the Chicago Americans, under Comisky, the old Roman, has won three pennants.

I 4m OVEfi COULD MOT STOP IT Heulback Allowed the White Sox Only Two Score: 7 to 1- Snow Pell During the Game-Over 12,000 Fans Cheered, Wrapped in Ilsnketa. Chicago, Oct. 11.

If you had a chance to ask Manager-Fielder Joaes of the Chicago White Sox team who the stingiest man in tbe world is, the chances are he would willingly give that honor to Mr. Edward Ituebach, one of the shifty hurlers of the elusive sphere on the payroll of Webb Murphy, the magnate of the Cubs. In tbe second game for the Trapped championship of the world Wednesday, Mr. Kuelbach was so scandalously close that he gave the eager White Sox but two base hits in nine innings of Arctic circle 1 aseball. Out of that timid pair of bingles the Sox worried one lonesome and khlverin? run, and while they were rounding it up and chasing it over the cake of ice that served for a heme-plate.

Manager Chance's young hope-luls got a whole Hock of runs seven in all- Tour of these they wrested from Dr. White, one of our most eminent dentists and erstwhile pride of Georgetown university. The others were wrung from the unwilling hands of France Owen, and the result put the championship series at the interesting stage of one and one what the tennis editor cnlls "one all," and the baseball critic epitomizes as "Sic 'em Tige." The oRfcial count of the mathematicians ai the gates indicate that ninety-eight of the enthusiasts who went to the west side lot to see the first game aro now In the hands of physicians and nurses, suffering from pneumonia end kindred ills superinduced by the weather. Tuesday 12.693 fanatics took a chance. Yesterday it was piven out that 12,595 persons had paid their way into the ground3.

The evidence is conclusive that ninety-eight of Tuesday's were unable to get out of bed. The big ceremony of the day led to the formal succession of Frank Owen tc the box after Dr. White had ascended to far that he was a mere speck In the sky among the kites and lanners of some fifty-seven varieties of political candidates. Dr. White's imitation of Santos Dumont was the feature of the second inning, after the first bad ended rapidly with nothing doing.

"Husk" Chance thoughtfully Etruckout and a frozen cheer crashed against the supports of the grandstand and fell in splinters on the crowd in the boxes. Then came on Steinfeldt, painlessly extracted a hit from Dr. White's Lenders, the first one of the came. Not to be outdone, Joe Tinker sauntered to the plate and calmly laid a bunt clown the right foul line to the intense confusion of Manager Jones's chllley crew of the White Sox and the apparent chagrin of Dr. White.

J. Evers, the boy marvel of Troy, landed o.i a soft-looking one and drove it down to Isbell amid general excitement. Izzy froze to the grounder and tossed it lightly at the second bag to head oft the fleet-footed Steinfeldt, but at that moment Mr. Tannehill, who should have been perched upon the canvas, was suffering with rigor mortis some ten feet away, and the ball rolled gaily athwart the frozen field, while Steinfeldt capered home with the first tally of the eventful day. Dr.

White, viewing this harrowing spectacle, to ascend in full view of 12,535 spectators and gave Kling a base on tails which did not help a bit at this stage of the game. Reulback sacrificed, scoring Tinker. Mad cheering indicated the presence of several parties from the West Side when this happened and while Dr. White was still several feet above the earth, "Circus Solly" Hoffman thoughtfully cracked out a single that brought Evers home, making three in all. It was a very large and abstructive three, however, and nobody worried because John Kling was an easy out to close the inning.

The third inning saw the finish of the dentist. The White Sox rooters unbelted a yell of hope when Towuo went to bat for White in the end of the third, Indicating that a new pitcher had been flushed among the blanket3 on the players bench and was to be driven from his warm nook to the chill blasts of duty. Frank Owen was the hapless one elected and in the fourth inning he took up the hite man's bur den. If he had been In one of the cold storage plants where they keep the unspeakable chickens, Owen would not have looked colder taan he did when he faced the anxious Mr. Sullivan.

lie blew on his fingers, slapped his leys, stamped hi feet and threw In a few steamless balls to try his arm. But they should have had him in a con venient Turkish bath before trotting out for those slaughtering clubs. Tinked took a base on balls without saying "thank you." Evers went out on a little pop fly and then J. Kiing, burning for revenge upon the Sox, crashed ahead on into one of OwenV choicest flings and sent it to center field for two bags, just to show what he thought of the new pitcher. The next, two up were easy outs and Owen went back to have his arm jollied by his worried team mates.

Reulbach, Steinfeldt and Sheckard shared the day's honors. The bridegroom pitcher and the star outfielder slowing brightly In the defense, while Steinfeldt was captain of the attack with his three clean singles and a sacrifice out of four opportunities to do thlngs: One clean hit and a scratch double Reulbach allowed the White Sox ia nine rounds and he would have shut them off the plate entirely but for an excusable error by Tinker. It was Reulbach's turn to receive fast, dashing and almest perfect sr-Iort and he sot It from all cornera U. P. RE-ELECTS DIRECTORS.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 11. The annual meeting of the stockholders the Union Pacific railroad was held here Tuesday. Fifteen directors were voted for. Alexander Millar of New York, secretary of the company, was present as- chief representative of the Harriman interests.

The old board of directors was elected without change. The shares voted by the Harriman interests numbered POTATO CROP OUTLOGi Blight Has Reduced Product in Most States. New York, Oct. 11. Now that the potato crop has almost matured, a rc-.

liable estimates can be made as to the yield compared with previous years Though the month of August brought no improvement in the prospect of the crop generally, it is fortunate that blight Is not general, though rather serious in Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, New York and the New England states. Wisconsin and Minnesota have also been visited by the disease but not to such an extent as the states mentioned. In the heavy potato growing district of the northwestern states conditions are quite irregular. In Wood county, Wisconsin, early tubers are yielding indifferently and there are fair prospects for the late crop and on the whole the acreage and yield this season will be below the last. In Fond du Lac and Washura growers are estimating that the yield will fail short of last year by 20 per cent, but in Sauk county the prospects are quite encouraging.

In a few sections of Minnesota less than the average yield is promised but elsewhere in that state the situation is fairly good. Account from territory east of Ohio show variable conditions yet fairly promising. In New York wrhere blight is not prevalent potatoes are developing reasonably well while the southern New Eng land crop is different. This statement also applies to New Hampshire and Vermont, but Aroostook county, Maine, a very important producer, is bringing an increased acreage to good maturity. In connection with probabilities of potatoes imports into the United States during the coming winter and spring the recent British government report on the crop there may have some weight.

It states that the pros pect for the 1906 United Kingdom potato yield is somewhat above tha average. DON'T LET THE VETERAN SUFFER TIij following verses were originally recited at the annual reunion of the 111th New York infantry, at Weeds-port, N. September 12, 1906, by Mrs. Lina D. Smith of Syracuse, N.

Y. A copy1 was dedicated by her to Capt. F. H. Coney, as a tribute to him as a respected and loved member of the 111th, New York volunteers, now department commander of Kansas.

GRAND POEM. Veterans your attention, for a moment I would claim. To speak of matters near your heart will surely be my aim; When you with patriotic hearts left home and marched away. To face that fearful conflict between the blue and gray; The great and noble sacrifice the boys in blue have made. The debt the nation owes to them can never be repaid, The patriotic volunteer who gallant service Should not Be left to-suffer In the land they fought to save.

CHORUS. Then don't forget the boys in blue that now are growing old. They marched beneath our starry flag and honored every fold; They left their homes when duty called and gallant service gave. Don't let the veterans suffer in a land they fought to save. Who was it did the marching from eighteen sixty-one.

Who was it dug the trenches beneath the burning sun. And paced the lonely picket where danger did menace Determined that no rebel words their banner should disgrace. The worn and faded veterans who once were held eo high. Should never be neglected or he left in want to die. They bore our starry banner with courage true and brave.

Don't let the veterans suffer in the land they fought to save. CHORUS. The order we so dearly love the noble G. A. Its emblem is so proudly worn, the eagle, flag and star; It ever shelters comrades dear, who.

gainst rebellion fought. And membership within its ranks with gold cannot be bought. It spreads the hand of charity to brothers in distress. 'Ti9 lovat to a country which the people love and bless. The widow and the orphan of their comrades true and brave.

Shall never suffer in a land the heroes fought to save. CHORUS. VALUE OF A GOOD PAPER. Adjutant General J. W.

F. Hughes says newspaper publishers should charge 1,000 per cent more than the subscription price for papers sent to home subscribers when out of town. He recently visited his old home in Columbia. Tennessee, where he ordered the Herald sent to him. Before going South he visited in Chicago, New York and other eastern cities, snd by the time he reached his native state a batch of papers had accumulated.

"Those papers furnished me the keenest enjoyment for several nights until after midnight. They were worth several times the subscription prico to me. Getting a letter from home has been sung about, but getting cne's home paper every day Is mighty welcome to a fellow who thinks anything of his home." CHICAGO AND RETURN, $16.10. Santa Fe.

M. FULLER, G. P. A. JAP HOW WORLD'S Mimoru Fujil.

A Japanese athlete is now champion short distance runner of the world. Minora Jujii, a student in the Imperial University of Tokyo, performed the following feats: Ran 100 meters (109 yards plus) in 9 24-100 seconds, electrical timing, and pole vaulted 12 feet 7-100 inches. These performances were certified to by the president of the university and the physical director, who sent a letter to the Japan Daily Mail, and to athletic authorities in the United States and Great Britain asking that they be accepted as records. The 100-meter performance is far tetter that of Arthur F. Duffey, of America, if correct, Duffey ran 300 yards in 9 3-5 seconds In May, 1902, (since stricken from the record books because of Duffey's professional status at the time.) Fujii was timed br an electrical apparatus such, as was once rf Samuel Morse, Captain Yale Eleven.

In the battle with Harvard he was the feature of the. Yale side, making gains when 'hope' had almost been lost. His famoug; taclile of Wendell after that wonderful player had 'eluded all others on the blue side, will always be a matter of gridiron: history. Wendell wi3 breaking for the Yale goal, with practically an open field, when Morse, with, a marvelous dive tackle, grabbed him. Tosidr Captain Harvard Eleven.

Hatherly Foster, captain of this year's Harvard eleven is a Boston boy. He got his start in athletics at Kackley school. Foster entered Harvard and followed up athletics at Cambridge, playing half-back on the freshman eleven and on last year's varsity "team. In the annual contest with Yale last year, Foster played a star game until he was injured. His best play was in the f.rst half, when Wendell and Carr had repeatedly bucked the Yale line only to stop in their tracks.

Then on Harvard's 30-yard line he set the crimson side of the stadium wild with, cheers by carrying the ball three successive times for, substantial gains. Foster stands -5 feet 10 inches and 170 pounds. He is a brother of Sumner Foster, tbe well known yachtsman. HEADACHES AND NEURALGIA COLD3.
