(By Leased Wire to The Times) . Pittsburg, Oct. 13 With the score 2 to 2 in the world's series the frost bitten Tigers and Pirates arrived frtwh Detroit on a special train over tW Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railway at T o'clock this morning for the battle for supremacy on Forbes' Field at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Immediately following the baseball special were several other special trains over the same road, crowded to the platforms with loyal Pittsburg rooters, undismayed by cold weather or yesterday's drubbing, and eagerly acclaiming the Smoky City gladiators as .the coming international cham pions. The day opened cold ad cloudy, with polar tang in the freshening breeze that augured a good day's business for. the,hot tatuale and cof fee concesaionurtes on the )ot jtdjo'n InytiVtwll field. The loyal fans con temptuously ignored , the ' weather, however, from early .morning a long line were slapping their hands, stamping their feet and joshing their nelghbdrs, patiently waiting for the gates to open at 11 o'clock for the sale, of general adm'ssion tickets. The.1 reserved seats were all disposed of '24 hours ago and the, indications were that a record breaking attend ance would be recorded this after noon. j, The Detroit team was shy one of bright and shining stars when the special train pulled in this morning. Ty Cobb, of American League fame, who covers the right garden for the Tigers, did not accompany his team-mates. A rumor was current in Detroit last night that an indictment for felonous assault had been brought in by the grand jury of Cleveland in connection with the trouble that Cobb had at the hotel in Cleveland In September, for which the Detroit Club at the time made a settlement. In order to be on the safe side Cobb went via Canada to Buffalo, where he found four inches of snow and com pleted his journey over the Pennsyl vania Railroad, arriving in Pitts burg some hours later. .Neither JIanager Jennings nor Manager Clarke Would give out early whom they intended to send to the pitchers' mound, but it was under stood that either Adams or Maddox would, try to puxle the Detroit slug gers, while Jennings' choice lay be tween Summers and Donovan. -The batting order: i .

It was thought at first that "Wild Bill" Donovan, who defeated the Pirates here last Satur day' would be JenningsV slab selec tion for this, afternoon, but Jen nings declared that thld weather was not in Donovan's favor and that he 1 would save him at least until tomor row. , The Weather here was far more favorable, than it was in Detroit yes tcrflay.5' Tuesday was a bitter cold day and the players actually suffered during the contest.

HIE CIVIL SERVICE Senator Borah Will Call For Investigation Will Show How Easy it is to Get Around the Civil Service Rules Hundreds of Appointments Are Based Purely on Politicul Favor. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Oct. 1 When con gress' meets in December Senator Borah, of Idaho, who introduced a resolution before the adjournment of the special session, in August, call ing for -an investigation of Lthe class ified civll service, ,wlll press nis wsr olution. The resolution was referred to the committee on civil service and retrenchment of which Senator Cum mins, of Iowa, is chairman. The Iowa senator is in favor of the res olution and will report it favorably. These two senators are really behind the investigation and it is said they are in possession of certain data that will enable them to produce some in teresting information, showing how easy it is to get around the civil ser vice rules regulating appointments In the public service. Senator Borah, it is said, has received many letters from employes of. the departments indorsing his resolution, informing him that the proposed Investigation will confer a great benefit on the pub lic, and that his investigation wil: make it clear to congress that cor rective legislation is needed for the civil service. It is known that many persons in the service ot the government never took the required civil service exam ination. Thousands of them were ap pointed under the old spoils system, and were brought into the classified service through executive orders de claring them to be classified. The in vestigation will also show that since the classification of the executive de partments there have been hundreds of appointments' based purely on po litical or personal favor. Another thing that will cause comment Is the practice of nephotism,. which will be found to be the rule rather than the exception. Secretaries, assistant sec retaries, and others in official author ity: in the several departments have never found it hard to take care of relatives by appointments in the pub lic service; in spite of the civil ser vice regulations. It would make ah Interesting exhibit before the country if Senator Cummins' committee should require of every person in the classified service, to disclose the cir cumstances of his, or her, appoint ment, and the number of relatives he, or she, has in the government ser vice. It is known that chiefs of di visions in the departments 'have placed members of their family on the payrolls in utter disregard of ci vil service regulation.1 It is said that an appointment clerk in one of the departments here has every member of his' immediate family on the pay roll except his wife, and not one ever took the civil service examination. The appointment clerk to whom re ference is made, entered the govern ment service by favor, and .his posi tion has since been turned into the classified service by an executive or der.: -. It' is asserted that the investiga tion, called for by the Borah resolu tion will show a flagrant violation of a civil service Tule which prohibits the employment in the government uervice of man and wife.

The vessel had settled, leaking badly, and her posi tion was precarious. When the crash came a panic among the 100 passengers was nar rowly averted and thereafter oc curred several concerted moves that threatened to result disastrously. Governor Sanders, of Louisiana, who was on board, addressed the pas sengers, urging calmness. A wireless message from the An tilles brought the first direct news of thV steamed.

Captain Burns, requested by wireless that the Comus, of the same line, be sent to take off the passengers. He also asked for tugs and three of the sea going type are on their way to aid tne liner. Several other vessels are expected to go to her aid also. The Antilles lies in one pf the most dangerous spots in the route. She is a new ship, one of the largest on the run, having a tonnage of 11, 000. She was built in Philadelphia two years ago and is 410 feet long, with a beam of 53.2 and a depth of 25.6. She is of the twin screw type. Passengers Transferred. New Orleans, La., Oct. 13 The steamship Motnus, sister ship of the Southern Pacific liner Antilles, wreck ed off the southeast coast of Florida Monday night, arrived at the scene of the wreck soon after daybreak today. The steamship office stated they received a wireless from the Momus at 9 o'clock this morning saying that all passengers and crew were safe. The Momus said she would arrive in New Orleans at 10 o'clock tomorrow. It is assumed she will bring the An tilles passengers. ' The Momus left New York on Sat urday at noon. She reached a point below Charleston on Monday night, where she ran into the first blow of the storm. Early yesterday morning the Momus got within wireless range of her crippled sister ship -when she heard the Antilles first appeal for help. All day yesterday and last night the Momus ran at top speed. She reached the wreck of the Antilles this morning. The passengers had been obliged to take to small boats because of the. bad list in the ship. Quickly the passengers were trans ferred to the Momus. .

If someone don't buy the franchise of the Winston-Salem ball team that town will be out of the Carolina As sociation next season. Now, why can't, the directors of the Raleigh team take up this matter and set the franchise and move it to Ral eigh, in this way placing Raleigh in the Carolina League. A call was made in Winsron-for a meeting of the athletic" association and the fans for Monday night. When the time came for the meeting to be called to order there was only about 15 men present. The president of the club failed to make his appear ance and for this reason the meet ng was not called to order. It was clearly demonstrated here at the close of the season qf the East ern and the Carolina leagues that the Eastern Carolina League was the fastest of the two. But here is what the Raleigh fans have been after for a long time. They want to get into the Carolina League, where they will have larger towns to go up against and in this way the Rale gh fans will not have to support the entire league. Wilmington and Raleigh were the main stay for the Eastern Carolina League, having, by far the largest at tendance of any other towns in the circuit. On one occasion it was re ported that an attendance of only 4!) paid adm ssions were present at a double-header at one of the towns in this circuit. By getting into the Carolina League Raleigh would make a better showing and draw larger support. The fans have grown tired of sup porting the smaller towns, and are now anxious to get in a bigger league. U. Hi JAPAN Washington.

'Mt"s the same old story," said Dr. Cook when Peary's detailed charges were shown to him in Cleveland. "I have repl ed to the points raised a dozen times. The map published by Commander Peary in itself shows that the Esquimaux respected their promises to me and that they wouid not give any information to Peary or his men. "I will bring the Esquimaux to New York at my own expense and they will prove, as "did Mr. Whitney, all that I have claimed. Rasmussen, who will lie here shortly, has seen the Esquimaux and Knows the real story. He is a semi-Esquimaux himself, speaks their language fluently and has their entire confidence. Coincident with the revival of the Cook-Peary controversy, the inquiry was continued today by the explorers club as to whether or not Dr. Cook really made the ascent of Mount Mc Kinley, Alaska. Five members of the club who have been designated a committee to determine the validity of Dr. Cook's claim to have made the climb prior to-the club's investiga tion of the Brooklyn explorer's popu lar claims, met today in the club's rooms n the Engineer's building be hind closed doors. Burrill, the guide who Cook said accompanied him, was not in evidence nor could it be found that he was in the city. It is known that the documentary proof that the trial board is considering s in the form of affidavits and comes from guides who accompanied Dr. Cook on bis Alaska expedition.
