VANCE. 1 v- HER IS COLD THO SANDS PA CK THE FAIR GROUND TO WITNESS RACE WHITE SOX MUST WIN TODAY OR HOPES WILL FADE Sheriff of Higginsport Carded to Battle Against Cicotte With Series Standing on Same Basis as It Was a Week Ago. BY OmANTTAlTD BICE.

(Copyright by New York Tribune.) CHICAGO, Oct. Ths Wfilte Box and the Giants eontlnua thole big homt-snd-homs Jubilee Saturday aftarnoon, where the preoent Indication, are that Mr. Cicotte and Mr. H. Sallee will raaunta for the fifth gams pro-claaly whore they gave each other battle Juat a weak ago, The one thing to check thla arrangement will be a apall of weather.

The two big town rlvala drifted westward through a whirling anowatorm Friday, where the wintry occaalon seemed to call more for a demonstration of skiing than an exhibition of the national frenxy. 7 he two well-known rac-rs arrived In Birmingham several days ago, but were unable to get a try-out until early Saturday morning as the track Is In very bad condition. When the two men start the ten-mile race they will do everything In their power to lower the track record which has stood for several years. The late Louis Strang established the present track record. Strang appeared In Birmingham about five years ago.

and at that time he lowered the colors of a well-known racer. Strang was accidentally killed several years ago while riding along a country road about three miles an hour. He was trying to pass a farmer and his horse and wagon, when the ground on the side of the road caved In and hie machine turned turtle, pinning him beneath the wreckage. Shortly before 1 o'clock the grandstand was packed waiting for the drivers to appear upon the track. Thousands of fans were hugging the fences in hopes of seeing the speeding machines round the curves.

Chevrolet will drive his Frontenae machine, which won for him the Speed-nay championship this year. Oldfield and Chevrolet Meet Each Other in Speed Duel in Three Events. They are off! Who will win? This Is asked by thousands of race fans that will attend the ten, fifteen and twenty-five mile clash between Barney Oldfield, daredevil of the circular track, and Louis Chevrolet, Speedway champion, who wtU get together at the Fair Grounds Saturday afternoon nt 2 8o o'clock. Oldfield is the favorite to win at least two of the three races this afternoon. Both men are confident of victory and unless the cream of the racers have a fatal accident on the Jinx track at the State Fair Grounds the races will be the best ever witnessed In Birmingham.

Oldfield will enter the clash In his "Golden Submarine" and stated before he started his engine that he waa going to walk away with all three events. 'i -C SP0RTLIGHT hy ORANTLAND RICE Copnlfht. 1917 The Triton Aworlgtliei (How xorx Triton.) for ru Blrminafaaa Nana The complex and highly tangled situation In thla world aeries outburst between New York and Chicago has now Ytached throe stages. The first stage favors the Hox, for It means they are back amid their Mouthslil entrenchments again with Cl-rotta ready to work. The second and third partition favors the Giants.

For in one instance the Giants, having coma from the rear, carry all the psychological advantage which belongs to any entry who ran turn an Impending rout tnto something a trifle better than an even Chance to win. The Box, considering the series practically concluded 8unday night, are now facing desperate conditions, a change and a shift that may have a telling effect upon their morale, aa game as we know them to bo. The third stage, taking In the pitching, Is all In favor of the Giants. Mr-flraw now has Sallee, Ilcnton and Schupp to work with I'errM Iti the wtngs, while Rowland must win on Saturday with Cicotte to have any sort of chance Eighteen runlets Innings III a row have also proved that Chicago's attaok Isn't any too powerful against high fade left-handed work. Left Handers Jonah Sox.

The Sox have now faced Giant lefthanders through 29 Innings since the series started a week ago. The other even Innings wero spent against r'ght-handers In these 29 Innings theChlcago offense has scored exactly four runs, or only about one to the game. The one big klling was made off Anderson and 1'errltt, both right-handers. This means the Hot are now carrying a heavy burden where only four days ago they were breexmg Into port with the winner's end In easy reach. Ho fsr aa the elastic and Incomparable dope Is concerned, the Giants now hate the big edge all their way.

They have all the best of the pitching and their confidence, ripped Into shreds on Sunday, has returned with a rush. The Sox must win on Saturday with Cicotte or they are doomed beyond debate If Cicotte Is beaten on his native meund there'll be very little left And een If the Hot win Saturday they must still face better pitching at the Polo Grounds on Monday, where the series will almost ceruvloly go to seven games. The Giants, at the Polo Grounds, looked to be an entirely different machine. Hack home, working with high class pitching, they rallied and proved their class. They picked up a terrific Impetus In those two New York contests and unless Cicotte Is at his beat and the Sox machine Is wdth him to a Jump, thla Giant Impetus la likely to crash through again to a third successive triumph.

Both Clubs Ara Game. You can enter this In your dope, however. Both clubs, all through the year, have proved their gameness and aggressiveness. Neither le liable to curl up and surrender without a bitter struggle The Sox are determined to regain their lost found with a victorious counter charge, while the Giants, now lifted from the depths, are equally determined to drive straight through. The Hox still believe thev can win with Cluottethat no ball club la going to beat their star In two straight sun roil FEDERAL SAIARY Three-Fingered Wonder of Former Days Is Seeking to to Get $8,000 Verdict, CRICAdO, Oft IS.

Dr. Dowling states that danger of dls- ease spread through this source fs not nearly so great as the complainants seem inclined to bAlleve, and that statistics compiled by the government show that men employed In street cleaning and garbage collecting In the various large cities have lesa than the average pulmonary complaints. The dust evils that concern sanitary and disease preventing authorities are entirely Industrial, according to authorities quoted.

This according to the health officer is due to the peculiar and more irritating character of the dust Inhaled. CONSPIRACY TRIAL AGAIN DEFERRED By Ansnnlated Proof. GRAND RAPIDS, Oct 13.

Although the National and Chicago Am-rlcana wers to moot hero for tho fifth gamo of tho world orloo this aftsrnoon tho lino In front of tho tlckot window at Comltkoy Park did not otart to form until 4 o'clock thlo mofnlng. Three hundred fans were shivering In the line at daybreak. A vender of camp stools beat a retreat about this time, as everybody was too cold to alt down. In saveral places there were Utile camp fires, and a brisk business In hot coffee and steaming frankfurters was done. The weather man promised Hear skies and a slightly warmer air by afternoon.

Although the ssrles stands two and two and the utmost Importance attached to today's conflict, scalpers tickets were far below the prices demanded for the first two games a week ago. Box seats were obtainable at 1K and reserved In the grandstands at $10. This was In part due to the Increased supply of pasteboards from patrons who having seen the first two games disposed of the third coupon of their Chicago tick-etc. No Chang In Line-up. There was no Indication of changes the line-up of players of either team from that made familiar during the first Tour games.

The experts figure on Sallee or Pol Perrltt for the visitors, and Cleotte or Reb Rusnell for the locals The cold was thought to point rather strongly toWard Perrltt and -ell. The latter remained on the bench during the first four games. Chicago enthusiasts made ready for the game In spirits far different from the confidence which followed the winning of the first two games by the White Stockings. At that time they considered the series as good aa won, but when New York blanked the team for 18 consecutive Innings on fhe Polo Grounds that feeling disappeared knee deep In oblivion and was replaced by merb hope The feeling was that the break of the game would decide the series. Only one game will be played In Chicago this trip.

The sixth game will be played In New York and the seventh, If there Is one, In which ever cities the toss of a coin determines. Playing on ths home grounds was counted on by Chicagoans as a factor In their favor Each team has won Its victories at home. The G'ants, helpless here, slmpl) stood the White Sox on their heads when they got on the fallmlar soil ofi the Polo Grounds. The partisans of the Chicago team hoped that It would derive similar Inspiration hare with tne support of their friends In the stands. The batting order: Chicago.

They are banking heavily on Cicotte to win his next two games If the series goes the seven game route, as It very likely will, And they believe Tex Kusaell, who reports his arm In shape, will be a baffling proposition whsn called upon.

McGraw, now that Sallee, Benton and Schupp have all turned Into flawless pitching, naturally feels that hs has the better of It with three eturs to throw In against one. Cold weather on Saturday may find Benton Instead of Sallee working, but If conditions are anywhere near right the Sheriff of Illgglnsport wll take another left-handed shot at the eoutlislde premlbr. Kauff and Zlm In Form. Another detail favoring the Giants Is that Kauff and Ztmmermann, Me draw's two main hitters, who were utterly suppressed In the first three games, have broken through at last and recalled their wandering goats from the trail Helnle and Bennie have perked up vastly since they left Chi cagn and this means more than a trifle for the Giant attack. Bill Rurlden has also shown conclusively that McCarty's absence was no sort of a blow- as the veteran has been at his best, apparently Just the quiet, unruffled and serene type needed to steady McGraw's pitching flock.

The two cJubs reflect the battling spirit of the two big cities New York didn't quit on the Giants after two da feats and Chicago hasn't quit on the While Sox. Despite the double blow back East, several hundred fans gath ered at the station Friday and, waited In the cold and clammy drizzle to cheer up their returning clan. Most of the Sox had left the train at Englewood, so the fanatics were forced to ba content with obaervlng ths arrival of a large flock of new O. lien rvs, modern Mark Twalns and second Ictnr Hug much to the aforesaid fanatics' discontent. These fans Indicated, however, that Chicago will be back of their club In the fifth canto with all the aroused Invalty there Is to be found.

They have been Jolted and rocked a trifle In one or two vulnerable spots, but they believe the Six tide ts about due to turn and that lcotte Is the boy to do the turn lug If Cicotte Loses, Jig Is Up. They know If Eddy Is overpowered on Saturday that the jig Is practically up But they believe that E. after win-ring the fifth game, will return for the seventh spectacle and carry the big show along to a gay and giddy finish They also expect Joe Jaekeon and Hap Felsch, among others, to readjust their wavering batting eyes and strike off a few popular blows for the western cause. Jackson had one big outburst In the second game, but outside of that the Greenville howltxer has gone hit-less. Felsch, too, has slipped hack i bit and Is once more due.

Another great crowd Is expected Sat urday, since this ts the most vital game yet played. If the Sux win, the series will very likely go to seven games If they lose the carnival will almost surely end In New York Monday. This Is one battle the Sox must win. If they iose now the buoyant hopes that ruse to such ross-colored heights last Sunday will be as gray as the snow sweep and the fog banks through which their spe rode back home. Is with tho bent arm, as a pltchei throws a baseball.

They believed thfe overhand, stiff arm throw uned In the field Is merely a survival of tho English bowling pitch, and was adopted by the English and French because they wero familiar with It. Experience has taught them thRt this Is erroneous It may be admitted that the baseball pitch Is far more accurate, hut no man could continue hurling a two-pound grenade In that fashion. Ills arm would wear out. Meanwhile hs runs the rlek of throwing hie arm out of Joint, bscsuss of the weight of the projectile. The Americana have now developed their own Inetructore.

So far a ths theory of throwing It concerned they need no more sid. They can drop their bombi In the enemy trench ae accurately at their Instructors. It Is an odd fact, by the way, that there have been relatively more Instructors Injured than Americana during the practice with this dangerous weapon No one attempts to account for this. It is a fact, however, that the Americana have shown themselves singular-ly cool-headed In Its management; Only yesterday one American had a live grenade knocked out of his hand into a hox filled with bombs. There was a pretty fireworks exhibition, but the corporal got his men around the trench angle Into safety before It began.

Dozens of similar Instances of cool thought might be cited Nor have the Americans had to learn many things from tho French In bayonet practice, excopt speed. There they have been deficient. But our method Is not only Just what the French method Is of Jabbing It Into the other fellow only three or four Inches, Instead of trying to send It all the way through but It was our method before It waa theirs. They learned theirs In the school of practical experience, while we worked ours out long before the war. One or Otwo French guards are extremely good, but the French says themselves that In a charge a guard does not count for much.

"We lunge at the other fellow and go on." they say. Hritish and French alike use the heavy grenade for defensive work, where the thrower Is eheltered by a trench or shell hole. But when the word comes to "go over," the English give little thought to ths grenade. The bombardiers msks a few long, rangs throws as ths fores approaches the other trench, but once In the Briton dote hie work with the Iron. The mop.

pere-up who follow carry grtnadoe for their work, while their comrades tssr scroee country for ths nsxt trench. This appears to be one of the eseen. lliil differences In Frenrh and English grenade practice which the Americans will bs called on to doclda between. At present the opinion of the American line officers seems to lean to the English Idea that the light offensive grenade Is of scant worth. No decision will he reached until both plans have been subjected to trial.

Americans Have Learned to Use Various Hand Grenades French Instructors Teach Them to Handle Weapon, British to Show Bayonet Use. The Nerve Getter. We have heie and there heard a few remarks passed about "nerve getting or a "nerve test" In football, baseball, tennis, boxing and golf. But after listening to a young Canadian the other night all the above tests seemed frivolous and futile and foolish and flippant. He was young Major Blehop, aged 23, of the Canadian Flying Corps.

About all he has done in the last six or eight months was to participate In 112 air fights, bring down 47 German machines and collect no less than nine of these In one day. a The Test. That part of It Is merely an Introduction, lifted from the official records. The 23 -year-old major was explaining various ways to battle In the air. One "nerve test" that he outlined was as follows: You see a hostile machine rushing at you through the air, firing a machine gun en route One might dive, or loop the loop, or flutter around.

But, according to young Major Bishop, one of the best ways was to start head-on for the machine, also firing a machine gun en route. This, he said, was the Ideal nerve test. The one that lost his nerve first also generally lost his life first. If neither decided to quit, then It was a case of double annihilation. A tackle who dives for a runner In football Is known to have his share of nerve.

Not Quite. Those In the Giant camp who figured that Joe Jackson had about completed his course of stardom decided to take another guess after the first few games. Joe, never rated as a great fielder, oi ened the matinee with one of the greatest catches of the season, a game-saving dive on the hardest sort of enapee. After this Joe decided to resume In his chosen line, collecting three, clean drives In the second battle With this start he wasted no great time In 1 roving that he waa still a member of polite baseball society and a credit to wallopers' association.

Jackson, having been a natural hitter all hts life, will be a natural hitter, and a good one, long after he loses the needed elasticity in his arm and legs. As a batsman his place belongs with Cobb, Lajole, Wagner and Speaker. He Isn't quite up with Cobb, but over the long haul he Is ahead of Lajole, Speaker and Wagner.

By l.t.roatlon.l tin Banrlet. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 12. A sensational report that Germany will have a new Chancellor by the time the Reichstag reconvenes on December 6 Is In clrcU' Int Ion today. It Is evidently baaed upon a dispatch from Berlin quoting The Tageblatt as saying that another Chan cellor crisis Is Imminent.

The explanation given regarding the resignation of Admiral von Capelle as Minister of Marine In the German cabl net was that "a man of slender stuff was needed." This evidently means that von Capelle was held responsible for not nipping In the bud the muttn ous outbreak in the fleet. Vice Admiral Eduard von Capelle was one of the administrative directors In tho Ministry of Marine before the war and had served as a captain at sea. In March, 1916, he succeeded Admiral von Tlrpltz as Imperial Minister of the Navy. Several times since then von Capelle has appeared before the Reich stag with optimistic statements regard lng the progress of the unrestricted submarine campaign, as late as August 26, 1817, defending the U-boat policy of his predecessor and himself at a meeting of the Reichstag main committee. Vice Admiral von Capelle announced In the Reichstag last Wednesday that plot had been discovered In the navy to paralyze tho efficiency of the fleet and force the government to make peace.

He said that th guilty parties had received their Just deserts and attempted to link socialists with the plot. The Imperial German Chancellor, Dr. also spoke of the existence of a conspiracy In the navy and asserted that certain deputies were Involved In the revolt. The socialists and their newspapers have attacked both the Chancellor and the Vice Admiral for their statements, CHANCELLOR NOT EXPECTED TO LAST MONTH OF OCTOBER By A.uslat.4 Prm. COPENHAGEN.

Oct. 13. The man Reichstag adjourned leaving be hind It a latent crisis which political observers believe will lead sooner or luter to the retirement of Dr. Mlchaelli the Chancellor without a following. Although other parties ars less actively In opposition to Dr, Mlchaells than the Socialists, not a voice has been raised ngalnat the Vorwaerts slogan "Mlchae-lls must go." Recent arrivals from Berlin report that the current gossip there Is that Mlchaells can scarcely last a month The Chancellor's blunder In springing the disclosures of the alleged naval plot against which, according to tha National Kuitung, he was strongly advised, and his failure to make headway against the Reichstag majority, appear to have lost him the conservative and Pan-German support.

Qther parties. Including even the Nationalists, ara united In open condemnation of hla actions concerning the naval plot. It Is charged that the Chancellor ehowed not only a lamentable lack of political acumen hut his set also resulted In the rehahlll tut Ion of the radical Socialists to I considers hie degree. The hindsight of the government re guiding the effect of the navul plot disclosures is shown bv the Vorwaerts in an Interesting revelation that tha censorship was applied to ths Chancellorship and that ths telegraph was bared to newspaper dispatches which the authorities were considering tn what form the speeches of Mlchaells and Admiral von Capelle could be tel graphed abroad. The speeches at ths concluding SeS' slon of tha Reichstag must be read In a light of the expectation that ths days of Mlchaells are numbered.

Ths speech of the radical Deputy Hauaamann contained passages Intended to launch th candidacy of Prince von Buelow, which Is still being pressed as vigorously as possible.

Now that the Chasseurs d'Alpln have practically completed the Instruction of the American troops In the Frenrh methods of trench warfare. British teachers are coming to take their plate. There will be a conflict of methods, but no confusion of thought. The two schools differ In certain dctiiils, and It will ba the task of the American officers to take the best of each. The French believe In the grenade ai a weapon of offense.

The British swear by the cold steel. The havonet has been the potlu'a favorite arm for a eenturv und more. It Is claimed as a distinctively French weapon, for Bavomie claims to have given the name of the town to the new tool of war, though this claim rests upon Insufficient authority. At the beginning of this war the Freneh soldier loved his "Rosalie His speed and nervous sglllty especially fitted him for bayonet work. But aa the war progressed tho grenade was more and more relied on.

But the heavy defensive grenade, weighing two pounds, made of thick Iron, deeply scored checkcr-boarfl fashion on tho surface, is unfit for offonslvo work, the French say. The effective range of this Instrument Is 60 yards. If It were used during a charge the whizsing fragments would be almost aa dangerous to the thrower as to the target. New French Grenade.
