TO SECOND DEFEAT
Third Game of World Series Is
Won by Philadelphia,
Score 8 to 2.
KID PITCHER BUSH
WAS MAN OF HOUR
Athletics Walk Completely Over
Tesreau, Who Had to Be
Relieved.
New York, Oct. 9. Connie Mack's
first kid pitcher made good today.
Bush, the Salt Lake youngster, has
the Giants at his mercy and let them
down with a. scant pair of runs and
five hits. Philadelphia took the third
of the World's series games by a I
score of eight to two. The hitting of
Collins and Baker throughout the
game and Sc hang's home run in the
eighth inning, are outstanding features
of Philadelphia's players. Tesreau
was relieved by Crandall for New
York in the seventh inning, after sev
en runs had been scored off of him,
five of which were gained in the first
and second innings.
By Hal Sheridan.
New York, Oct. 9. The drizzle this
morning and yesterday's "showers,
soaked the Polo Grounds here, and
the chances for the third game of the
World's championship baseball ser
ies is greater.
This may mean the breaking or
making of the Athletics. Mack faces
necessity of pitching a youngster or
returning Bender to the box after a
days rest. The rain would rest Ben
der and Plank.
At seven o'clock fifteen hundred
fans were waiting outside of the
grounds. Despite the condition of
the grounds, McGraw said that the
game would be played unless it rained.
In the event tlie game is postponed
the team will remain here-The Giants
are anxious for the battle to continue.
believing that the breaks are now
coming their way.
At twelve forty-five the last grand
stand scat was sold. The. field is in
better conditio" than the field at Phil
a delphia was yesterday.
The general admission crowd for a
time extended nine blocks from the
ticket office. It appears that the
crowd was larger than at the opening
game.
At twelve-fifty when the teams ap
peared it was raining, but the sun
broke through, as the band played.
Matty was roundly cheered.
The batteries were Philadelphia,
Bush and Schang; New York, Tes
reau and McLean.

H. F. Merrill Has Copy of Dub
lin News-Letter Published
in 1741.
H. F. Merrill has unearthed among
his effects a copy of a paper published
on June 27, 1741. It is a print of the
Dublin News-Letter, supposedly pub
lished at Dublin, Ireland.
It is a peculiar antique of early
day newspapers. Although, it is a
four page leaflet of three large col
umns, only two of the pages contain
printed matter, while the other two
are left blank.
The old time letters are used
throughout the paper and the articles
and advertisements are interesting to
read. A great contrr.st is drawn to
present day journalism. Advertise'
ments in the old papers contain state
ments, that wouldn't be tolerated in
the press of oday.
The paper was presented to Mr.
Merrill several years ago by an old
firm by which he was employed.

TAKE PLACE OF OLD
Present Car To Be Taken Off
Run for 30 Days, Repaired
Replaced.
NEW CAR TO BE PUT ON
BEFORE FEBRUARY 1
Recommendation of Street Com
mittee is for Complete
Renovation of Old Car.
"We recommend that the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Railway to be giv
en the privilege of taking the present
street car off the run for a period of
thirty days, during which time it is
to be repaired in the Corvallis &
Eastern machine shops here, to-wit:
a- new set of trucks, the seats to be
cushioned or upholstered, and to be
painted, all to be to the satisfaction
of the committee on streets and public
property, then replaced on the run, to
be replaced by a new steel car not
later than the first of February, 1914."
That was the recommendation of
the committee composed of Council
men Lyons and Cameron, who went
to Salem last week at the instance
of the city council to confer with the
railroad officials, relative to the im
provement of the street railway sys
tem. In short, their recommendation
calls for a complete renovation of
the car. It was adopted by the coun-;
cil last night and Mr. Cameron was
instructed to take the matter up im
mediately with the officials at Salem,
informing them of the action of the
council and to get them to sign an
agreement thereto.
In his report to fhe council, Mr.
Cameron stated that the officials were
cordial in the matter, that the recom
mendation grew out of the conference
and that it is probable that the new
steel car would be placed on the run
by the first of January. The present
car will probably be taken. off of the
run almost immediately.

ing in good faith, G. L. Rauch, in ad
dressing the council last night, was
'optimistic as to the rapid carrying
(f, lout of the plans of his constituents
in establishing a gas plant in Albany.
Mr. Rauch said that the paving of
the alleys was a blow to the gas peo
ple as they would be compelled to do
much more work in laying the pipe
lines.
Following his remarks, an ordinance
granting a gas franchise. to him, was
read the third time, having been read
at previous metings, and passed.
Rauch was granted a franchise some
time ago but it became voidvupon fail
ure to file bonds. At that time Rauch

REGISTRATION BOOKS WILL
CL0SETI6HTWHENTIMEIS UP
"Register Now" Is What Every
body Ought To Do Dont
Wait Until the Last Second
Will those who come to register
the last minute be denied the right to
become qualified as voters for the
coming city election, if the registra
tion clerks cannot complete the reg
istration, in the event there is a crowd
awaiting, when the time is up for the
registration books to close at o
o'clock on November 22" asked Coun
cilmau Lyons in addressing the conn
cil last night.
"I believe that all of those who ap
pear before the books close, arc enti
tled to register, on the grounds that
they appeared within the time limit,"
he continued, "although they could not
be registered therein by the clerks by
the fact that they could not handle the
crowd before the time was up."
The concensus of opinion of the
majority of the councilmcnt was that
the books should he closed at the time
designated and no registrations re
ceived thereafter. Recorder Van Tas
sel heartily approved this opinion,
stating that there is no reason why
the electors should not register with
in the time limit. He cited instances
where some had waited until the last
minute, when it was just as conveni
ent for them to come earlier.
The recorder was instructed to en
gage all the necessary help to com
plete the registration. With this in
struction, Recorder Van Tassel will
plan to handle the registration ade
quately. It was decided to advertise
the fact that the registration is now
on, by notices in the papers, urging
everybody to register. The slogan is
"Register now."

Is to Be Graded and Gravelled
Unless Petition for Pave

IN THIS EVENT COUNCIL
IS WILLING TO PATCH IT
Property OwnersRemonstrance
Meets With Drastic Action
of City Dads.
One thing or the other is to be done
to Ninth street. It is to be graded
and graveled unless a petition for hard
surface pavement is not made at once.
In this event the city is willing to drop
the gravelling matter and to patch up
the stret temporarily for the winter.
That was what the council decided
upon last night, following a lengthy
discussion as the results of the in
troduction of a remonstrance against
the grading and gravelling of the
street. The fact that the property
owners petitioned for paving some
time ago and Chat it was later remon
strated out entered into the argument.
Also the jeopardy that the paved
streets are placed in by the condition
of Ninth street, and the fact that the
city has spent money in former mat
ters pertaining to the improvement of
this street.
The remonstrance, which was sign
ed by over 30 property owners, and
which was placed on file, with the
understanding that the recorder should
go ahead with the grading and gravel
ling matter, disapproving of the im
provement for the reasons that the
street is comparatively on grade, that
it is in good passable condition, and
that it is the common understanding
that the street will soon be paved.
