was planning the downfall of

There are some serious young

and reeling, the Cubs found that
the Athletics had broken ull rec-

of 10 to S and take a lead of y

doing into the seventh Inning,
eight runs behind, their veteran
spitballer, old Jack Uninn, a

and their net efforts showing a
grand total of three hitH off the
fast halls of Charley Itoot, there
didn't appear more than the pale
ghost of n chance for the Athletics
to win and prevent the Cubs from
making it two straight, lying the
series.
If ever a club looked beaten, ft
was the A's, yet with a savagery
that has never before been dupli
cnied in llm annals of th world's
series, they leaped upon Hoot,
drove him from the box, knock
ed out his two successors, Art
Nehf and Sheriff lilakc in short
order, and were stopped by Pat
Ma lone only after 1 5 men had
gone to bat.
A home run by Al Simmons to j

bolt of lightning that hit Hoot.
Another home run in the midst j
of the storm off Nehf by George

To make It a perfect ending:
for the home forces, Kobcrt Moses j
(Irffty) Grove, for the second
game In the series, came to the J

A's winning margin but he fanned
four ISruins In a row.
This made a total of 10 ,Cnb

Keries and equalled the record
which the Giants made in the
series of 1911 against such fa-j

if any is attached to this per- (

LOS ASGELK&, Oct. 12. m
An open break between UiHtrlct
Attorney Huron Flits of Jos Anie

Stephen Connell, of Hiin lilego
county, came today as an after
math of events connected with the
nppearanco of Jay Sheridan as a
state's witness in the trial of Alex
ander T. 1'anlaKt'H. ni u It 1 -millionaire,
on n statutory charge.
Sheridan, who lives in San IH
eo, testified here that PantnKO
endeavored to pnrchase perjured
testimony from his calculated to
hfacken the charater of Kunice
Printfle, 1 7 -year old dancer, and
accuser of the vaudeville magnate.
When Sheridan returned to San
Dieo. he was taken t court for
arraignment on a bad check
charge. The arraignment wan post
poned, but Sheridan was lodged In
jail as the result of failure to
rafse ?I0.t)it0 bail. His bond pre
viously had been $2,500.
Fitts ovep the lon distance tel

to seek a higher bond.
"They (referring U) tho alleged

said. "If Sheridan i.s wanted as
a witness again In the case, as
is likely, the slate will be placed
in thi embarrassing position of be
ing forced to admit before the

Fitts charged that Connell had
refused li postpone the arraign
ment of Sheridan at the re finest
of lAin Angeles authorities, when
it was announced t he man would
be wanted as a witness, but thiU
when Shcriilan actually arrived in
