. CHICAGO. Oct. 19 SplaL) With
Connie Mack's American Uitu Cham
pinna two ramea to the rood and Frank
Chanea's National Laaaru topllners aa
many conteata to the bad. tha scene of
the worlds championship at rug la
Mfts tomorrow from rhlladalphla to
Chicago. There) Is much significance
to b attached to the fact for It mar
man an trtnlnc-up of tha accounts
between tha two dubs.
What name la to bo emblazoned oa
tha world's pennant at tha end of tha
aeries will depend largely upon tha
outcome, of tomorrow's game. Tha
Cubs need tha decision and need It bad
ly If they expect to remain In tha run
ning for premier honors.
On the other band. If tha Athletics
continue their triumphal march through
the narrow lane of Cubs' hopes and
make It three straight, nothing but a
miracle will be able to turn the flood
tide In faror of tha Chicago club.
Crucial Came on Today.
It would mean the titanic task of
winning four straight games from a
baseball machine which. In tha two con
teats already played, has shown mar
velous form In nearly every position.
Tomorrow's game should prove tha
crucial one In tha series aa far as tha
Cubs are concerned.
It practically will be "Custer's last
stand" for Chance and Ms men. Bark
to back, flauratlvelr speaklnsr. and
farina; a victory-flushed team that has
humbted two of their box stars, they
must play tha rame aa they have never
played It before. If they would triumph
over tha Invaders.
Switching tha games from FJilba
Park to tha Cubs noma diamond glres
a distinct advantage to Chance's club.
The Cuba know tha lay of the land
perfectly and are familiar with every
lich of turf on tha West Side lot. In
Philadelphia they war "strangers la
a strange land" so to speak.
There la no denylna; the fact that tha
Cubs are full of confidence In spite of
their present handicap, and that they
fully expect to overcome tha pair of
defeats administered during; the short
but disastrous Invasion of tha Quaker
stronghold.
Slump May Be Checked.
Certain It Is that the Cubs did not
play anywhere np to their usual form
In tha two games, and It my bo that
the slump will be checked tomorrow.
They are famed for their ability to
coma "from behind." On their own
grounds and before their own crowd a
different story may develop.
It Is curious to note tha natural
change that has coma over tha dyed-in-the-wool
Cub fans since the team left
for the opening- In Philadelphia. At
that tlma tha Athletics seemad to ba
held cheaply and tha opinion seemad
to prevail that tha American League
champions would ba treated much as
.Detroit was In 190. A few days ago
they were supremely confident. Now
they are hopeful, and aa hope Implies
doubt, it would appear that their faith
has been slightly dislocated.
Overall has not pitched op to his
usual form during; tha present season
and when ha was beaten In tha open
er It caused no g-reat surprise.
Brown's defeat was another propo
sition. Cub fans saw their Idol smoth
ered by a terrifio bombardment o
Athletic hits and driven to tha bench
and naturally much of tha confidence)
that has character lxed tha West Side
hots oozed out.
While tha bitter dregs of unexpected
defeat hava been tha portion of the
Cubs so far, their bad luck may ba
ended, at least for tha time being. One
thins; that may turn the scale In their
favor la the tact that the Athletics are
conceded to ba much better on their
home grounds than they are on the
road.
championship cannot be conceded
to any club until the final and deciding
game has been played. Followers of
baseball were given a striking example
of Uils assertion In the ISvl world's
series between, the Boston Americans
and Pittsburg; Nationals. -Pittsburg
won the first game and Boston took
the second after which Pittsburg
came back and won the third and
fourth. It was a nine game aeries and
with the tally S to 1 Boston appeared
to stand but a allm chance fur the
flag. .However, the Hub team re
versed Its form, won four straight and
took the pennant.
I do not believe that Bender can be
relied upon to pitch another game In
the series that will anywhere near
equal his exceptionally brilliant per
formance In the first one. I look for
ilack to open hla Chicago Invasion
with Coombs In case Bender Is not
ready to "come back" and I do not be
lieve he will be.
i will be greatly surprised If Mack
does not attempt to continue his win
ning streak with Coombs and hold
Bender aa his trump card. The Atn
letlca have more confidence la Bender
and are able to back him up better
than any other of the Philadelphia
Patchera. Bender la a close student
of the game and showed in the first
contest that he had studied the Cub
batters and only used hla slow balls
on those who are accustomed to hit
ting fast pltchera
That the Cubs are not running bases
with the old-lme speed and Judgment
was shown In Tuesday's game. Nine
base on bails, eight hits and only
three runs did not look good, especial
ly on top of four errors.
Only one Cnh Tinker tried to steal,
lie attempted to make second when
he thought Coombs was going to pitch
wild, lie was thrown out by Thomas.
In the game the day previous. Thomaa
Triad caught two Cubs who attempted
to steal bases) In spite of the fact that
kla throwing; was far from perfect. He
was lucky to get his man.
In Tuesday's game Coombs was wild
In early Innings and seemed to be only
trying to get them over. That gave
the Cubs a fine chance to Steal but
they failed to take advantage of their
opportunltiea
The Cube encountered eonslderable hard
luck, though. They got more bad breaks
la luck th" the Athletics did. For In
stance. In the third Inning Chance was
at bat with fVhuite on first and Bheckard
ea second. Chance, with two balls and
no strikes on him. dodxed a fast ball on
the lns;8e which hit his bat for the first
strike. At the time cooroos was going
.ni It looked aa if Chance surely
would get a base on balls, which would
ttave given the Cubs three men on bases.

Chance) and Fans Hopeful.
CHICAGO. Oct. 19. Though Captain
Frank Chance and his team of Cubs
lost both games thus far played In
the world's series, he refuses to be
called a "dub" and let the Insult go
unchallenged.
On his arrival here today from Phila
delphia Chance's automobile was wait

As he made his wsy to the machine a
man whom he had Just passed, but who
was still within reach, called the vet
eran first baseman a "dub." He was
borne back by the crowd around him
upon the man whom he bad Insulted.
Chance Curbs Temper.
Chance, curbing his temper 'with a

for their baseball hero, allowed the

"We're playing- bail; watch us."
Chance said be was more disap

him than for the loss of the game.
"I had counted on Brown for one
of the last games," said the Chicago
leader, "but If he doesn't come back,
which T hsna ha will, we still have
Cole, Mclntyre and Richie."
Fears that a rain storm would pre

BENEFIT FUND STARTED
TESTIMONIAL TO PORTLAND
TEAM TO BE HUMMER.
Prominent Business Men Subscribe
$140 to Remember Beavers
for Season's Work.
The campaign to collect funds to
give Walter McCredle and his Portland
Beavers a testimonial benefit if they
win the Pacific Coast League pennant
was started off with a vengeance yes
terday, for the committee worked an
hour yesterday and sold enough tickets
to guarantee the raising; of the sum de
sired by the time the big game Is to
be played here.
Several Influential Portland mer
chants, who appreciate the big benefit
a championship team would be to this
city, have enlisted their aid In this
movement, and are subscribing lib
erally to the proposition. The Beavers
are doing yeoman service in this sea
son's pennant race, and If the plans
of the committee In charge of ti.e re
ception fund meets with success the
players will think they have been par
ticipating In a world's championship
series.
Those who subscribed to the fund
yesterday are as follows: Julius L.
Meter, of Meier & Frank Company. 50;
W. F. Llpman. of Llpman. Wolfe 4
Company, flO; Ben Selling. $10; Samuel
Rosenblatt. 5; Morris Polltx. $5; Hl
bernla Savings Bank, $5 and Portland
Trust Company of Oregon. $5.
When McCredle's team won the pen
nant in 10 the citizens of Portland
contributed a sum sufficient to present
each member of the dub with a hand
some watch fob, but this year It Is pro
posed to do even better than that by
the boys, principally because of the
decision by Judge Graham, which robs
Portland of three games legitimately
won.

Falling Hair
You Run No Risk When
You Use This Remedy.
While many people in their prime
doubt the assertion that "the hairs of
our head are numbered," yet there Is to
day many a man and woman fast reach
ing the point where this statement
is literally brought home to them. If
you suffer from irritation of the scalp,
and from dandruff, or if your hair is
falling out, do not wait until you reach
the point where you can actually count
how many hairs are left on your head.
Most cases of baldness are caused
because the roots lack proper nutrition.
In such cases there le a microbe which
bores through the scalp along the line
of the hair into the root and when it
lodges there it begins to destroy the
fattx matter around the hair roots.
When the scalp and hair roots are
strong and healthy, it is impossible for
these microbes to get in their deadly
work.
We can promise you that. If your
hair le falling out, and you have not
let it go too far, you can repair the
damage alreadjr done by using "Rexall
'93' " Hair Tonic It is a scientific
cleansing, antiseptic germicidal prepa
ration, that destroys microbes, stimu
lates good circulation around the hair
roots, promotes hair nourishment, re
moves dandruff and restores hair
health. It la aa pleasant to use as pure
water, and It la delicately perfumed. It
Is a real toilet necessity.
W. want you to try Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic with our promise that It will cost
you nothing unless you are perfectly
satisfied with Its use. It comes In two
sizes, price 0 cents and $1.00. Remem
ber you can obtain It only at The Owl
