Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 18 An in sane mob of Philadelphia fans crowd ed Shlbe Park to its utmost capacity today to witness the second game of the series between the Athletics and Cubs for the championship of the vorld. Baseball experts looked upon this game as the crucial test of the series. It was believed that if Mack's crew took this gamef nothing stood between them and the championship. A two game lead is mighty hard to overcome in a seven game series. Chance elected three-fingered Brown to down the Athletics, while Mack sent In Jack Coombs to oppose him. Brown was hit hard, being es pecially Ineffective in pinches. Coombs was not in good form, but was saved-several times by great sup- port. , . The Cubs got away in front when they found Coombs for one run in the first inning. The Athletics passed them, however, in the third round, when they scored twice. The Mack men. Bcored another in the fifth and, when the Cubs forced another runner Hcross the plate in the seventh, they jumped on Mr. Brown for five hits, three of which were doubles, netting six runs. : The result was in doubt no longer.

New York, Oct. 18 Tile dirigible balloon America, carrying Walter Wellman and a crew of five in an at tempt '.to .reach ISurope by traus-At lantlc fligat, has been wrecked at sea and abandoned. Wellman and his entire crew have been rescued and are on their way to New York on board theteamship Trent, of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company line, plying between Bermuda and New York. This infor mation was conveyed in an official re port from Captain Down, of tho steamer Trent, to his office in New- York today In the following dispatch 'At 5 a. m. today sighted Wellman airship America in distress. Signall ed by Morse code that she required assistance and help. After tnree hours maneuvering with fresh winds blowing, rescued Wellman with his entire crew and cat. They were hauled safely on board.

' At fifteen minutes of one o'clock Sunday afternoon Wireless Operator Ginn, in the Marconi's Company's station at Siasconset sent a query di rected to the America, asking if all on board were well. The reply, very feeble and indis tinct, came back, It consisted of the ingle word "Yes." It was then estimated that the Ahierlca was from 100 to 300 miles east of the Massachusetts coast, al though her exact location was doubt ful. :' At that time and since the weather bureaus have reported mild weather oft the Atlantic seaboard, with the exception of an electric storm off Sable Island, 100 miles off the Nova Scotiau coast. Although no official advices have been received as to how the balloon was wrecked, It is believed that it fell victim of the Sable Island electrical storm and was wrecked in a tempest of lightning and sharp, contrary winds. The American had evidently been blown out far'to sea and drifted down towards the wateways to the'harbors long the coast between Boston and the southern porfs. At 11 a. m. Sunday a message was received at Siasconset which stated that the motors were shut down ow ing to the dragging of the equiblla brator in the water which gave the airship a jarring motion Injurious to the engines. " , ' At that time it was reported that no damage had been done and no mention was made of bad weather. At noon Sunday the last message but one. from the America stated that Wellman believed he was southwest of Nantucket.
