WEATHER GLOOMY BUT INDICATIONS ARE THAT A GAME WILL BE PLAYED TODAY LATER-NO GAME TODAY Philadelphia, Oct. 19. 12.45 A. M Today's baseball game between the Athletics and Giants have been post poned on account of rain and wet grounds by the National committee. JPhiladelphia, Oct. 19. Although the weather is gloomy and threaten ing this morning the air is laden with fog so thick that the moisture fell like rain, it is believed the fourth game between the Giants and Ath letics for the worl'ds championship will go on as scheduled. Refreshed hy the rest the postponement gave them the Giants are on the edge and confidently predict victory. The indications are that Ames or Mar quard will face the Athletics. Ben der will probably be Mack's choice. Snodgrass is likely to receive a hot reception in consequence of spiking Baker who injuries are worse than the first reports indicated. Tuesday's 'Championship Game. (By "Ty" Cobb.) 'phampion Batsman of the "World and "The Greatest Living Baseball Player." New York, Oct. 19. Tuesday's game, the third of the 1911 world's series was an eventful one for John Coombs the Athletic .champions and the American League., for they set themselves and went after the New York Giants with absolute confidence smashing and tearing their way into Christy Mathewson's . choicest, article of pitching and when Baker saved the day with a terrific, home run in to tlr right field wing of" the grand stand'4 it saved the Athletics ; and when the 11th inning rolled around they pushed two runs across the plate, making their count three and the .Giants failed to make more than one run "the game was ended, giving the Mackmen this very decisive vic tory by the close score of 3 to ,2. To begin with, the most important factor in this game was. .Coombs' wonderful work in the box. Just think, for ten innings the winners of the pennant in "the National League failed to garner but two little hits off Coombs' delivery. In their last, they only succeeded in getting one more, making the total three. Of Coombs' work, the most notable thing was his confidence and deter mination. His good arm shot up curves and fast ones for the eleven innings and he held the Giants com pletely at his mercy. Of his perfor mance it was riot alone head work that made him so effective, but just natural ability. Matty's Work Wonderful. To the vanquished, the Great "Mat ty," I must say, he pitched a won derful game. But he was opposed to ' a wonderful team. For the first two or three innings, he probably was not so effective. Then up until the 7th he held the Mack batsmen at his mercy. This. I mean in retiring them almost in order. It is true, Christy was hit hard all through these in nings, but when he wanted to baffle his man, he would strike him out or cause , him to rool easy to the infield. "Matty" was the master until, Bak er hit his home run in the ninth. Af ter that the Athletics were more de termined and sort of had him on the run. But he died eamely and he has one consolation in "knowing that the Selding behind him were more re- snnnsilile forthe loss- Of twa- Dattuj than he. This game I consider the keynote of the series The team, that would win the series. I consider now that the Athletics will "be victorius in this series of extraordinary pitch ing. Sized ud Situation. Rv winniner yesterday they have defeated their one, and only strong oponent, Mathewson, who nas work er! twn (ramos in four days and' one who is familiar with . the exertion that he put into his work yesterday, can safely say that the strength spent in twirling is almost equiva lent, to an eighteen- inning coniesi During the last three innings ne was kept propelling that wonderful curve of his over the plate" commuuusi ' A n H T n rvn T Thieve" that " the real "TtTottir wmiid hfi readv to do his best akainst the Athletics outside ; of fnur flavfi' rpst n th nthr hand the Athletics have Bender, who will have had four full days' rest, going in against who ever McGraw might select and Plank lor the next aay. Nnw. MstiaPfir Mack has two pitch ers that will be well rested,- while McGraw will have to call upon some unknown quantity to perform his duties on the slab. The pitching selection is the great question that is nrobablv botherine the crafty McGraw today. Baker Furnishes Sensation. The feature of Tuesday's eame was Baker's sensational home run. Great er was the crisis that faced him be cause it was produce then, or lose for the Athletics. But like Monday's game he rose majestically to the oc casion, refusing to bite at the tanta- izing and quick breaking low curved ball delivered by Mathewson and waited patiently like the stalking ti ger. When his victim paused for a breathing spell, which was when Matty" was in the hole with two balls, and had to lay one over, then Baker stepped into this "cripple" as we ball players call it, and literally smashed the ball on a dead line over the right field wall into the dense crowd in the grand stand. He trotted slowly around with the roar of ap plause of his admirers in his ears. This blow seemed to take the Giant off their feet. For no sooner had it happened than the Athletics, intoxi cated with the possibilities of victory dawning upon them, were buoyed up to the highest pitch. Every man was determining and for the remainder of the game the American Leaguers had the Nationals on the go. The Giants' leader, Mathewson.was osing his grip. Giants Weak at the Bat. The batting features of course were first of all, Baker's drive, then Da vis' two singles and a pair by Col lins. Barry followed closely behind. For the Giants. I must say, they appear very weak against the Ath letics pitchers and don't seem to hit with any class. They just simply can not meet the ball. The twirling is tod good for them. The filding features for the Giants were Doyle's smooth work, the hand ling of every chance faultlessly by the fielders who covered such ground on the hard drives which left the Athletics bats and the spectacular play made by Herzog on Murphy's drive. My impression of the Giants' fielding is that under the extreme fire, they have shown a tendency to be erratic. For the Athletics the outfielders handled every chance with great udgment and precision. Barry made the real feature play of the entire series in going back of second and retiring Fletcher at first by a won derful stop and throw. The infield was good with the exception of Col lins' very disappointing work. Lapps throwing was truly wonderful. Lapp handled Coomb's shoots in wonder ful style in addition to heaving true to bases. His rival, Myers' put up a smooth exhibition in taking care, of; Matty's" delivery. J ' v A Line on theaifmplrtttg., V; ; Brennan of the National League staff- gave the decisions- behind the plate with Connolly, of the American League, on the bases. Both had sev eral very close decisions to give,ano from the extreme closeness of tne game, some of their decisions did not please the "fans." That is easily ex plained, of course, by tne tension un der which the "fans" were laboring. Brennan seemed to be weak on balls and strikes,- especially the low ones and his , judgment was not as good as the umpires who preceded mm behind the plate. Ponnollv's decisions on tne bases were very close and only he was in the position to correctly judge them. It is hard to umpire from tne stanas. Play in Tuesday's game was .for the first time called on the minute. Bishop Will Be Buried Tomorrow. Richmond, Oct. 19.

Special dis patches received here say that Troy and Elias Hatfield, two of the Hat field family of feudists, living near Fayetteville, W. Va., were killed to day and another man, Geromie, an tanan is believed to have been kill ed as the result of an argument over bootlegging territory. The Hatfields are alleged to have begun the fight by charging Geromie with peddling whiskey in territory that they thought belonged to them. Geromie denied the allegations of the brothers by firing four shots and wounding both. The Hatfields replied to the fire and a running fight en sued. Passerby found the two brothers ying in the road. Elias was dead. but Troy was yet alive and managed to articulate: "You don't need to mint for the man who did this. He is dead, too." Search is being made for the body of Geromie, whic hhas not yet been found. The spot where the fight began is not known, but it is believed the brothers, after killing Geromie, tried to drag themselves to town to have their wounds dressed. Wright Breaks Gliding Record. Manteo, Oct. 19. Orville Wright twice broke the world's gliding rec ord yesterday, remaining aloft In his machine on each occasion for one minute and fifteen seconds. On the ast of his five flights into the teeth of a thirty five mile wind he fell with the glider a distance of fourteen feet, but was unhurt. The machine was smashed. Mr. Wright, despite the damage to the machine, was delighted. He held that yesterday's experiments demon strated his ability to remain in the air without the aid of a motor Just as soon as certain alterations are made in the construction of the sup porting agency. 'I am particularly pleased to have broken the world's record by Z sec onds, he paid. "The main ; trouble was that the vertical rudder-in" front was too much for the rudder' behind and this interferred with the con trol. This defect will be remedied when the glider is repaired and the work will be done in time for the next blow. The final flight was spectacular. Wright lost control of the aeroplane with the result that the fall complete ly wrecked both wings on the right side. When the machine struck the ground it turned turtle, and the avia tor was hurled a considerable dis tance. Col. Steward Raps Woodrow Wil- son's History. Newport News, Va.., Oct. 19. Five hundred grey clad veterans of the Civil war were present at the Aca demy of Music yesterday when the annual reunion of, the Virginia Grand Camp, United Confederate Veterans began in this city. Mayor Maryus Jones welcomed the guests to thi city with a happy little speech and he was responded to by Past Com mander William H. Stewart, of Portsmouth. After thanking the mayor and the people of Newport News for the hear ty welcome extended the camp in which he said it was hard to describe in words the feeling of gratitude and appreciation, Past Commander Ste wart explained what it meant to the old soldiers to have the opportunity of visiting this city and the section of Hampton Roads. He referred to the scene of the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac, and with indignation pi every gesture and voice scathingly arraigned p.n ac count of the battle written by Wood- row Wilson, now Governor of New Jersey, in the letters "History of the American People" in part, Col. Ste wart said: "The History of the American Peo ple,' written by Woodrow Wilson, who is a son of Virginia, says: "On the ninth of March these two novel craft made trial of each other and the Virginia was worsted!' If this is the way a Virginia-born historian writes her history, may God spare us from another such. I saw with mv own eyes that battle from start to finish, and I here declare that the Virginia won the victory over the Monitor with little injury to her helf. I saw the Monitor retreat to shallow water and would never more eive the Virginia an opportunity to fight her, even when she had anoth er ironclad to assist her. "We may not expect justice from men like Elson but when one born of our own soil speafes untrutntui history, It cuts deeper and makes a more insidious wound than one nun dred of Elson's flaming slanders for they are full of everloaded prejudice and ignorance."
