BASE BALL AND TRAP SHOOTINGVOL. 64. NO. 7 PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 17, 1914 PRICE 5 CENTS

National League Pennant Winners Triumph Over Athletics in Four Straight Games, Setting a New Record for the Series Former Title Holders Are Outclassed, Rudolph and James Each Win Two Games

Playing the most sensational and surprising l>ase ball ever seen in a World©s Series, the Boston National League Club won the pre mier base ball honors from the Athletics, champions of the American League in four straight games, the series closing on October 13, in Boston. Never before had any club cap tured the World©s Championship in the short space of four games, and it is doubtful whether in any previous series a former World©s Champion team fell away so badly as did the American League title-holders. Rudolph and James were the two Boston Ditchers who annexed the victories, each tri umphing twice. .Rudolph won the first and fourth games, giving the Athletics a single run in each; James won the second game by holding the erstwhile slugging Athletics to two hits, and then relieved Tyler in the third game and won in 12 innings. Boston hit the Ath letic pitcher.s, with the exception of Plank, freely and ©cleanly. The veteran southpaw pitched a good game and was only beaten, 1 to 0, on a mis.iudgment in the ninth inning. The series was excellently handled, and drew good crowds both in Philadelphia and Boston, though not quite up to the average of some past years. The total attendance was 111,009, and receipts, $225.739. Boston won the first game, 7 to 1, Bender, hero of former World©s Series, being batted from the box. The sec ond game went to the Braves. 1 to 0, after a keen pitching battle between James and Plank. Boston took the third game in the hardest fight of the series. Bush pitched for the Athletics and Tyler started for Boston, James taking UD the burden in the eleventh. Bush threw his game away, losing, 5 to 4, in the twelfth. In the fourth game, Rudolph won all the way by a score of 3 to 1, over Shaw- key and Pennoek. The Athletics failed dis mally at the bat, while Gowdy, Evers and Maranville slugged the ball for Boston. The complete detail of each game follows in order.

BRAVES WIN FIRST

The Athletics Defeated Through Bender©s Inefficiency and Rudolph©s Skill.

ATHLETICS VS. BOSTON, at Philadel phia, Friday, October 9. The initial battle of the 1914 World©s Series resulted in a stunning surprise and the Braves, true to their recent habit, furnished the surprise by defeating the Athletics, cleanly and decisively, in a game in which they reaped all of the honors. The entire battle hinged on the pitch ing, and this is where Boston won and the Athletics lost. Bender, the hero of so many World©s Series, pitched a poor game in all re spects, lacking speed, judgment, and control, and placed his team on the defensive continu ously after the first inning. He lacked control of his curve ball, wasted his fast ball and got himself into the hole so often that he had to groove the ball frequently, the timely batting of Gowdy and Maranville being due to this fact. Rudolph, on the other hand, pitched a masterly game. He used his spitter but rare ly, and mixed his fast ball, curve ball and slow ball with rare judgment. He rarely "grooved" the ball and used his slow ball with such deadly effect in crises that, but for an error by Moran, who let Strunk©s hit get away from him, in the second inning, the Athletics would have been shut out. He Struck out eight men, twice retiring Oldring and Barry in that way. So poorly did the "Chief©s" work that he was relieved in the ixth inning this being the first time Man- M>er Mack retired a pitcher for ineffectivenei*

Hero of the World©s Series

HENRY GOWDYCatcher of the Boston Club of the National League

Henry Gowdy, the remarkable young catcher of the Boston National League Club, and t»r of tbo World©s Series in erery department, who is generally credited with being respon sible for the great success of the Braves© pitchers after Uie disastrous stajt this season, was born in Columbus. Ohio. August 24, 1890. He broke into base ball as a. first baseman for the Lancaster Club, of the Ohio State League in 1908. The following, year found him with the same team, but in 191.0 he was with- the I>a.llas Club, of the Texas League. Mana ger MoGraw, of the Giants, purchased his release early in the year aud he remained with McGraw until the middle of the 1911© season, when he was traded to Boston. As a first baseman Gowdy did not, look very good so Manager Stallings sent >. him to the Buffalo Inter national league Club at the start of Vast season to be made over into a catcher. The success of Stallings© mo*e was evident when Gowdy came back to the Braves in the middle of the season. He is o»er the six-foot mark in height, throws finely and is a hard right-handed hitter.

J©n a World©s Series game. Wyckoff was ef- I his curve ball with judgment, and only three feotiTe is the three innings be pitched, uaiag 1 hits and one run were scored on him, and

that single tally was the result of a "high throw to the plate by Collins on a double steal.

THE DIFFERENCE IN PITCHING made the Athletics appear to disadvantage, ©aa light hitting always does with any team, while Ithe winning start secured by the Braves made them appear perhaps stronger than the Athletics, on this occasion at least. At any rate they played pretty much the game that won their league pennant. They fielded with precision and speed, ran bases with reckless abandon, and showed courage and aggressive ness from the moment they gained the lead. The Athletics played their usual steady game and showed no sign of demoralization in the face of the adverse current which grew stronger with each inning until the sixth- inning avalanche. The stars of the day were pitcher Rudolph, catcher Gowdy and shortstop Maranville, for Boston, their work i» all de partments being sensational; and shortstop Barry, of the Athletics. Rudolph©s masterly pitching has already been alluded to, but Gowdy©s fine catching of his diffiicult de livery was of vast assistance to him. But it was in offense that Gowdy shone. He secured a double, triple, single, and a pass in four times up, batted in the first run, scored two runs himself, and figured in a double steal. Maran ville starred with two singles and a wonder ful fly catch over his shoulder in deep left field. The remaining players did their work acceptably, while Deal did what little he had to do well, "Red" Smith thus not being miss ed in this game at least. For the Athletics, (the only stellar piece of work was a bare- hand fly catch by Barry in left field, which carried him far out beyond the foul line and was one of the most spectacular catches ever seen in a Wood©s Series. Strunk starred at bat with twt> singles, and Wyckoff sur prised by an unexpected double. Baker made the only other extra-base hit for his side, but that did not atone for a serious lapse in the first inning when, with two on and one out, he carelessly failed to "wait out" the pitcher and fouled out on the first ball pitched, a curve ball on the inside.

IN THE FIRST INNINGS, Moran fouled out to Mclnnes, Evers flew out to Collins and Connolly struck out. For the Athletics, Murphy made an auspicious start with a clean single to centre; Oldring then sacrificed Murphy to second and Collins was passed. With two on, and Rudolph visibly nervous, Baker hit the first ball pitched and a bad one at that, namely, a low curve on the inside for a high foul to Schmidt. Mur phy attempted to make third on the out and was thrown out by Schmidt, thus ending in- gloriously an inning which for a time ap peared likely to put the game on ice. In the SECOND INNINGS. Boston had pretty much the same chance for a flying start, as the Athletics had and availed themselves of it ta such an extent that they

VISIBLY JARRED BENDER, who was plainly lacking in control. He passed the first man up, Whitted, and, after disposing of Schmidt with a long fly to Oldring, h» made a bad break on Gowdy. For the latter, with the count three and two, he carelessly "grooved" the ball, and Gowdy laced it out for a long double on which Whitted scored the first run of the game. Again with the count three and two on Maranville, he re peated his mistake and the midget hit safely to centre, scoring Gowdy. A lightning double

SPORTING LIFEplay on Deal©s sharp hit to Barry, «aded fur- Ither damage. In their share of the inning the Athletics got a run their first and last one on Mclnnes© base on balls, and Strunk©s single to right, which went through Moran. Strunk got to third on the error and with one out and Barry at "bat, a "squeeze play" was looked for; but Barry, trying for a hit, struck out. Subsequently Strunk tried to score on Schang©s hit to Evers, and was thrown out at the plate, and Schang, in turn, was forced on Bender©s hit to Maranrille. THIRD INNINGS Boston went out in order, Rudolph being thrown out by Bender, Moran striking out, and Evers flying to Oldring. For the Athletics, Murphy and Oldring struck out and Oollias was thrown out by Rudolph.© FOURTH INNINGS Oonnolly led off with a single to centre, but on Whitted©s hit to Ben der a double play Bender to Barry to Mc lnnes resulted; and Schmidt was thrown out by Oollins. For the Athletics, Baker and Mc lnnes struck out and Strunk singled, but was thrown out, Connolly to Evers, trying to stretch the hit into a double. FIFTH INNINGS ! In this session

GOWDY DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF once more at the further expense of Bender, however. The latter again handed the lanky catcher a fast one to his liking and Gowdy made of it the longest hit of the game, a triple to centre. Maranville then scored Gowdy on his second hit of the game, a single to right, made off a curve ball on the outside. That ended the scoring, however, as Maranville was doubled up off first bass on Deal©s bunt fly to Bender, and Rudolph struck out. For the Athletics, it was out in order, as Barry flied to Maranville, Schang struck out and Bender flew to Whitted. SIXTH INNINGS In this inning the Braves clinched the game with a batting rally which drove the great Indian off the mound for the

FIRST TIME IN WORLD©S SERIES. Moran started the inning with a short fly to left field on which Barry made a wonderful running bare-hand catch, the momentum car rying him halfway to the stand. Then came the smash-up. Evers singled to centre, Con- nplly walked, Whitted tripled and Schmidt hit a hard one to Barry for a single, three runs resulting. This was the straw that broke the managerial camel©s back and Wydkoff was called upon to relieve Bender. Wyckoff made a bad start by walking Gowdy, and messed things up trying to make a force play on Sehmidt at third base on Maranville©s weak hit to pitcher. Schmidt had too good a start ito be caught at third, whereas there was every chance for a double play on Gowdy and Maranville. No damage resulted, however, as Deal hit to Baker, who put out Gowdy on a force and threw out Deal at first base. In their half of the inning the Athletics went out in order, Murphy, Oldring and Collins be ing thrown out at first base by Evers, Deal and Rudolph. SEVENTH INNINGS In this inn©ing, in which Lapp relieved Schang be hind the bat, there was nothing doing for Boston, but there was threatened

ACTION BY THE ATHLETICS after Boston went out without scoring. Ru dolph started with an infield single to Col lins, but was forced on Moran©s hit to Baker; and then Evers struck out and Connolly was thrown out at first on Mclnnes© assist to Wyckoff. In the Athletics© half of the in ning, Baker reached first on a fumble by Evers, and Mclnnes was passed and prospects for a rally looked bright. But Strunk©s hard hit to Schmidt was cleverly handled by the big first baseman for an out, Barry struck cut, and Lapp was thrown out by Rudolph. EIGHTH INNINGS In their half of this In ning, the Braves secured their last run for the day, a run that would have been cut off by perfect play. After Whitted had fouled out to Baker, Schmidt and Gowdy singled to left in succession, the former going to third on Oldring/s slow return of Gowdy©s hit. With twe strikes on Maranville, Schmidt and Gowdy

STARTED A DOUBLE STEAL, on which Maranville struck out. Lapp©s short throw to Collins was badly returned, Collins© throw being too high, and Schmidt scored, but by quick action Lapp threw out Gowdy trying to reach third on the play, this ending the inning for the Braves. In the Athletics© half of, the inning, Wyckoff started off with a double to right centre, but he died on base, as Murphy was thrown out by Ma ranville, Oldring struck out for the second time, and on a very bad ball; and Collins flied to Cqnndlly. NINTH INNINGS Boston went out in order, as Deal and Moran were thrown out by Baker and Rudolph fell a vic tim to Barry©s deadly arm. For the Athletics, Baker raised momentary hopes with a double to right, but Mclnnes was tossed out by Deal, Strunk popped to Evers and Barry ended everything with a rap to Maranville and con sequent death at first base. The weather was clear and warm and the game was, therefore, played under exceptional World©s Series con ditions. The©official score:Athletics. AB.K.B.

BOSTON VINS AGAIN

Young James Bests the Veteran Plank ina Fine Pitchers* Duel.

ATHLETICS VS. BOSTON, at Philadelphia, Saturday, October 10. The second game of the World©s Series furnished another stunning surprise, the Bostons again defeating the Ath letics and shutting them out to boot in one of the closest and most exciting pitching duels of World©s Series record. Manager Mack again pinned his hope upon a tried and true veteran pitcher, while Manager Stallings the second of his young pitchers and youth again tri umphed. From the start, the game again re- Solved itself into a duel between Plank and James, and the "spitter" triumphed over the "cross-fire" cleanjy, although the victory was gained on an untimely miscue by Strunk. James pitched a wonderful game, holding the hardest-hitting team in the arena to a single and a double. He struck out eight men and let only 28 batsmen face him, three batsmen being passed. Plank was also effective in the pinches, but he was far less steady than James, as he yielded seven hits, passed four batsmen and hit a man, and he was fortunate that his own skill and brilliant support kept 11 Boston Braves stranded on the bases. At that, the duel might have been prolonged in definitely had not the favoring "break" for Boston arrived in the ninth inning, when, with one out, Strunk misjudged Deal©s long fly, which went for a double; and Schang helped Boston out by playing Deal badly, after he caught him flat-footed off second base, thus enabling Deal to reach third base, putting Plank into a deep hole. Luck still favored Boston, after James had struck out for the fourth time, when Moran popped a low liner to ward right field, which Oollins, despite a mighty leap, could only barely touch with his finger tips, which hit sent Deal in with what proved to be the winning run. The Bostons played a fast, aggressive an41 wide-awake game, fur nished most of the action, and but for fast fielding by Barry, Baker and Collins, at sev eral stages, would probably have settled the result in any One of five innings preceding the ninth. The Athletics played up to form in the field, excepting Strunk©s fatal error of omis sion but were not only helpless, but actually automatic, at bat, no attempt being made at any time to try anything but what they obviously were unable to do with James© "spitter," namely straight hitting. In no pre vious World©s series game since 1905, did an Athletic team appear so weak in batting and so lacking in resourcefulness as in this game and when that is said all is said that can be said of James 1 pitching and the Athletics© inexplicable batting slump. The Athletics© weak hitting gave the Braves little oppor tunity for brilliant individual work. In ac cordance with his season-long policy, Manager Stallings shifted his outfield to meet south paw pitching, and the right-handers, Mann and Gather acquitted themselves creditably, the former contributing the lucky hit that drove in the winning run. In the infield, Ma ranville starred with several fine stops, par ticularly in the ninth inning, when he ended the game with a splendid stop of Murphy©s wicked drive, on which the "Babbit" started a lightning double pl.ay. For the Athletics, all of the infielders distinguished themselves With fast plays, Mclnnes making a wonderful catch Of a wild throw by Barry in the eighth. The only_ error charged against Mclnnes by the official scorers, should have been credited to Barry, of whose wide throw Mclnnes failed to make a one-handed catch similar to one just spokeja of only a few moments after in the same inning. In

THE FIRST INNINGS,Mann was thrown out by Collins, Evers scratched a bunt which Plank could not field to first in time. Gather struck out; Whitted walked and Schmidt flied out. For the Athletics, Murphy started with a base oi balls, but was put Out on an at tempt to reach second base on a bad throw by James to Schmidt, which the latter re covered in time to retire Murphy at second on a very close play. Oldring and Collins were thrown out by Deal. SECOND INNINGS Gowdy was passed and went to second on Ma- ranville©s sacrifice, Baker to Mclnnes. Deal hit to Plank and Gowfly was caught off sec ond, being put but, Baker to Collins, Gowdy being kept so close to second base that Deal could not go down on the pntout. Deal then stole second base on a wild throw by Schang to Mclnnes, which the latter could not han dle quickly enough to h6ad off Deal at second. But Deal was left, as James struck out. For the Athletics, Baker fouled out to Gather and Mclnnes and Strunk struck out. THIRD INNINGS For Boston, Mann was thrown out by Barry, Evers singled and was thrown out stealing second, and Gather flied out to Baker. For the Athletics, Barry and Schang flied to Gather and Plank struck out. FOURTH IN NINGS For Boston, there was action that for. a few moments made

SCORING SEEM PROBABLE, as for the first time thus far, two hits in any innings were made by Boston. After Whitted had flied to Strunk, Schmidt Singled to right, and Maranville hit safely to the same field after Gowdy had flied to Murphy. Barry, how ever, shut off a run by making a brilliant leap ing stop of Deal©s sizzling hit, making a force- out, unassisted at second base. For the Ath letics, it again was three out in order, as Murphy was thrown out by James, Oldring struck out and Collins was thrown out by Ma ranville. FIFTH INNINGS For Boston, James struck out, Mann ©Singled to centre, Evers flied to Strunk, and Gather forced Mann at second base, Barry to Collins. For the Ath letics, Baker flied to Mann, and Mclnnes and Strunk struck out. SIXTH INNINGS After Whitted and Schmidt flied respectively to Collins and Murphy, pitcher Plank passed Gowdy and hit /Maranville, but Deal hit to Baker, forcing Gowdy at third base. In their half of the innings, the

ATHLETICS BROKE THE ICE with their first safe hit in the game. After Barry had been thrown out by © Maranville, Schang doubled past third base, but subse quently, when he attempted to make third base on a short passed ball, he©wgs thrown out by Gowdy a very close decision by the base umpire. Plank ended the inning by hit ting to Maranville for a throw out.

INNINGS In this inning, for th« first time, Boston failed to get * man *a ba«e, as James and Mann struck out and Ev«rs wa* thrown out by Baker. For the Athletics, Murphy etrnck out and Oldring was thrown out by Evers. Collins hit a slow bounder to Evers, and was declared safe When it seemed as if he were surely ont; but a few moments later was caught napping by Jftffles and declared out when it seemed as if he were ©safe. EIGHTH INNINGS For Boston, Gather was thrown ont by Barry, Molahes making a won derful back-hand catch of a wide throw. Whitted then also hit hard to Barry, who, after fumbling for a moment, threw wild to Mclnnes, who got the ball with one hand, but could not securely hold it, and was charg ed by the official scorer with an error that should have been charged against Barry. The error, however, cost nothing, as Schmidt forced Whitted at second on a hit to Collins, and Gowdy flied to Strunk. NINTH INNINGS In this inning came the end and into it were crowded some minutes of intense anxiety and suspense. For Boston, it

WAS THE DECISIVE INNINGS, as therein they scored the only run of the game. After Maranville had been thrown out by Barry, Deal hit a fly over Strunk©s head, which the centre fielder misjudged, and hesi tated long enough to lose it, the hit scoring as a double. James struck out, and then Schang made a bad play on Deal. The latter had wan dered too far off second base and Schang had him trapped. But instead of running well into the diamond before throwing, he made the long throw from behind the plate to Barry, seeing which, Deal, instead of going back, darted for third and made it standing, as Barry could not risk a- hopeless throw. Whit ted then sent Deal home on a line drive to right field, which Gollins made a desperate leap for, but failed to spear by a finger-tip. Mann then reached second on a passed ball and Evers Was passed, but Gather ended the inning with a sharp hit to Barry, forcing Evers at second base, Barry to Collins. In their half of the last innings, the Atuletics made their

BEST AND LAST RALLY without result. Athletic hopes were revived when Barry was walked, but faded when Schang struck out. Walsh, batting for Plank, was also passed, and with two men on and only one out, the crowd grew hopeful and neisy Once more. Murphy failed in an attempt to bunt, the ball going foul, and with two strikes on him, he hit very hard almost over second base, but Maranville made a desperate running stab at the ball, captured it, ran Over second for Murphy©s force and got the ball to first just in time to complete a double play, which ended the game and sent the Athletics down to their second defeat.

Bash, fa Twelve Innings, Fails to Stop the Slugging of the Braves.

ATHLETICS AT BOSTON, Monday, Octo ber 12." This game was the most exciting game of the series, and one Of the most re markable games Of modern World©s Series, while in point of length it has not its equal. It was replete with tense Situations, and had a sensational finish. For four innings the bat tle fluctuated, then the teams remained locked for four innings more in a death-grapple. In the tenth inning, each side put forth hercu lean efforts to break the deadlock. The Ath letics succeeded momentarily, starting the in ning with their best rally of the series, and when Boston went to bat two runs were needed to tie and three to win. The effort to tie was successful, thanks to a home run by Gowdy, a base on balls and a timely single by Evers these two men being the heroes of the day. Then the game, went two more in nings beyond which point it could not have gone, as in the gathering gloom of the twelfth innings, the Braves batted out the run neces sary to win one of the most thrilling and wild-exciting games ever played a game jl- lustrating all of the beauties of the king of games. In this contest the Athletics, for the first time, played something approaching their real form, and but for inexplicable batting Weakness Of Oldring, Collins, Mclnnes and Barry, they would in all probability have won the game in the regulation length. The Braves played with the dash and confidence they ex hibited in every game of the series, and gave also a revelation of their gameness which had hitherto not been put to the test by tying a two-run lead in the tenth inning and win ning out in the twelfth. The fielding on both sides was sensational, and, barring a muff by Connolly in the first inning, and a wild throw by Schang in the fourth Inning, was with out flaw until the twelfth inning, when Bush let in the winning run with a wild throw in an attempt to ©force Gowdy at -©third base. A mental lapse by Evers in the tenth in ning yielded a run, he permitting Murphy to steal home while.. . he , held the ball; but he atoned for that with brilliant fielding and three, safe hits, th.e last one of which, in the tenth ipning, was instru mental in the tying of the score. Schmidt, who distinguished himself with one of .the finest stops in the-series, in the eighth in nings, when he robbed Bush 6F a sufe double. Maranville played his usual dashing game and scored a run on a base on balls, a

.fiteal, and a double by Gowdy. The latter

was the bright particular star of the game, as hft was in the entire series to date. He batted in the first run with a double, in the second inning; started the tenth inning with a homer, and started the twelfth and last inning with a double, on which he later scored the winning run. Topping all, his catching was in pro portion to his batting, supporting his pitcher perfectly, holding runners close to bases and allowing but one stolen base. For the Ath letics, Murphy and Baker starred at the bat, Murphy also excelling in base running, while Baker availed himself, after once striking out, of a great opportunity to live up to his great reputation as a psychological batsman. In the tenth inning, with the bases filled, he hit so hard to Evers that the latter not only failed to handle the ball, but became so bewildered that he held it in hand while Murphy stole home, following Schang across the plate, thus giving his team seemingly certain victory. Walsh, who took Strunk©s place, a southpaw pitching for Boston, distinguished himself with a hit that drove in a run in the fourth inning. He also fielded well, but let a run. score owing to inability to reach a short fly that Strunk would undoubtedly have captured, owing to his superior speed.. Mclnnes broke into the base hit column for the first time, Collins scratched his second hit in the series, and Schang also delivered a timely hit; but Oldring and Barry again failed in every emer gency at bat, though Barry©s fielding was as usual, fast and sure. Manager Mack

PICKED BUSH TO PITCH,and the youngster acquitted himself so well that with a less aggressive and resourceful team than the Braves, he would have won. H0 found it hard to retain control, however, and in the first four innings he was almost con stantly in the hole, three and two, and his first pass resulted in a run. In the fourth to the fifth he got by splendidly, and but for Gowdy, he would surely have won his game. Gowdy started him on the road to defeat in the tenth inning, when he led off with a homer; and again in the twelfth when he. again, led off With a double. Thereafter Bush sealed" his fate when he passed Gilbert bat ting for James and then threw Moran©s bunt wild to third to force Gowdy, permitting the latter to score the winning run the lanky catcher, now a national hero, thus proving a Nemesis to Bush in this game and to the Ath letics in the entire series. That the Athletics aroused themselves in this game from their amazing trance was partly due to the fact that they were

PITTED AGAINST TYLER, the third of Manager Stallings© pennant-win ning trio of pitchers, who, being a southpaw, had less terror for the Athletic batsmen than the spitters. Tyler pitched an excellent game, nevertheless he was hit quite hard and noth ing but sensational work by his infield saved him from sure defeat. Another factor that operated in his favor was the continued slump of Oldring and Barry, who have been virtually helpless against any kind of pitching in this series. He began to weaken, however, in the ninth, when Baker hit him for a double, and had a bad quarter of an hour in the tenth, when two runs were scored on him, on a hit by Schang, his failure to field Murphy©s bunt to second in time for a force, a base on balls,

©and a hit by Baker to Evers, which the lat ter not only failed to handle in time to get his man at first base, but also held while Murphy sHole home. James relieved Tyler in the eleventh and finished the game, holding the Athletics runless, and hitless both in the eleventh and twelfth innings, though he gave three bases on balls, a brilliant double play, started by Evers, ending the game. In

THE FIRST INNINGS,Murphy, for the Athletics, led off with a don- ble over third base, Oldring sacrificed him to third and he scored on Collins© sacrifice fly which Cbnnolly muffed. Collins stole second, Baker Struck out and Mclnnes walked. With Walsh at bat, Collins was caught off second by a quick throw by Gowdy to Evers. For Boston, Moran flied to Collins. Evers singled to left and stole Second, Connolly fouled out to Baker, and Whitted struck out. SECOND INNINGS Walsh was thrown out by Tyler, Barry fouled to Schmidt and Schang flied to Evers. Boston tied the score after Schmidt had struck Out and Deal flied to Baker, Ma ranville walked and stole second. Gowdy scored him with a double into the left-field bleachers, but was left, Tyler being thrown out by Barry. THIRD INNINGS Bush foul ed to Schmidt, Murphy was thrown out by- Evers and Oldring suffered© a similar fate at Maranville©s hands. Boston went out in order, Moran and Evers being thrown out by Baker and Bush, and Connolly flying to Murphy. FOURTH INNINGS Collins flied to Ever* and Baker struck out. Mclnnes then hit into the left-field bleachers for a double, Connolly falling over the railing in his effort to catch the ball. Walsh scored Mclnnes with a singls to left, but was -stranded; Barry was throw* out by Deal.

BOSTON TIED THE SCORE in their half of thjs inning. After Whitted had been thrown out by Collins on a hard hit, deflected by BuSh, Schmidt singled to centre. He got to second on Deal©s out at first with Collins© assistance, and was sent home by Maranville©s single to centre. Ma ranville stole second, going to third on Schang©s wild throw. Gowdy walked on his attempt to steal second, Collins quickly re layed Schang©s throw to Baker, picking Ma ranville off the bag, thus ending the innings. FIFTH INNINGS After Schang had flied to Moran and Bush had been thrown out by Deal, Murphy doubled to left, but Oldring ended matters by striking out. For Boston, Tyler and Moran were thrown out by Bush and Barry, respectively. Evers Singled to left and Connolly was thrown out by Collins. SIXTH INNINGS Collins scratched a single On a hit to Deal, but Baker hit to Evers for a-double play with Maranville©s assistance; and Mclnnes was thrown out by Deal. For Boston, Whitted was thrown out by Bush. Schmidt flied to Murphy,

DEAL DOUBLED TO LEFT field, but .Maranville ended the inning ©With© a highr infield fly, which Schang captured. SEVENTH INNINGS The Athletics went out ih order, as Walsh fouled out to Deal, Barry >was thrown out by Tyler and Schang was disposed «f, Evera to Sehmidt. Tb«

OCTOBER 17, 1914 SPORTING LIFEBraves were not mor« fortunate, as Tyler etruck out and Gowdy and Moran were both thrown out by Barry. EIGHTH INNINGS Bush hit over first base for what seemed an assured safety, bat Schmidt made a won derful stop and a timely throw to Tyler, who beat Bush to the bag. Murphy and Oldring both flicd to Whitted. For Boston, Evers was tossed out by Bush and Barry threw both Con- nolly and Whitted out at first base. NINTH INNINGS The Athletics started a rally which was exciting if short lived. After Col lins had been thrown out by Maranville, Baker doubled to right. Mclnnes was unequal to the task of bringing him home, flying out to Connolly. Walsh was purposely passed and then Barry ended the agony with a high foul to Gowdy. In their share of the innings, Bos ton went out in order, Schmidt and Deal by being thrown out by Baker, Mclnnes making a wonderful putout in Deal©s case; and Barry tosso.d out little Maranville. In the TENTH INNINGS there was crowded more desperate execution, greater excitement than in any one inning, within recollection in a World©s Se ries at least, the amazing thing being that

EACH TEAM SHOULD SCORE two runs with remarkable accompaniments. Schang started the innings with a single to left, Bush struck out after two attempts to advance Schang. Murphy delivered a short bunt toward Tyler and got to first on a "field er©s choice," as Tyler failed to head off Schang at second base. Oldring failed once more in emergency, but he had hard luck, as had his slow hit to Evers been just a trifle slower he would have beaten the throw. Col- lins waited out the pitcher and with the count three-and-two, was passed. With the bases filled, Baker was presented with another one of the opportunities that made him famous in preceding World©s Series. This time he made good as he hit so hard that Evers could not handle the ball and he reached first while Schang raced home. Evers appeared to be be wildered and held the ball while Murphy was stealing home right on the heels of Schang. Though the game appeared to be cinched, Col- lins and Baker were still on bases, but Mc lnnes failed to add to the crop of runs, he hitting a long fly to Whitted. In their half of the innings, the

BRAVES© TIED THE SCORE in a sensational manner. Gowdy, the first man up, shocked Bush and electrified the vast crowd with a terrific hit into the centre-field bleachers for a home run. Devore then bat ted for Tyler and struck out. Moran then, with the count three-and-two, was passed by Bush and Evers, with a hard drive to right, advanced Moran. Connolly proved equal to the emergency by scoring Moran with the tying run on a long sacrifice fly to Walsh, amid indescribable scenes of excitement and enthusiasm. Whitted then ended the inning with a fly to Baker. ELEVENTH INNINGS James went on the mound for Boston and he held the Athletics safe in this inning despite a base on balls. He tossed out Walsh at first. Schmidt put out Barry, unassisted. Schang was passed intentionally, and Bush struck out. For Boston, Schmidt fouled out to Schang, Deal flied to Murphy and Maran ville was thrown out by Baker. TWELFTH INNINGS It was getting dark and this was the last innings that could have been played had there been no result. But the Braves pre vented that by

SCORING THE WINNING RUN. James began the inning by passing Murphy, but Oldring was thrown out by Evers, and Collins flied to Deal. Baker was walked inten tionally, but Mclnnes left both Murphy and Baker stranded by forcing Baker at second on a_hit to Evers. In Boston©s half of the in ning, when the dreaded Gowdy advanced to the plate, the excitement was intense and commotion seemed ©to filter through the mul titude that the beginning of the end was at hand. Gowdy did not disappoint, as he drove the second ball pitched by Bush into the left- field bleachers for a double amid terrific up roar. Mann was then sent in to run for Gowdy, Gilbert then batted for James and he worked the over-strained young pitcher for a pass. Moran then bunted to advance Mann and Gilbert. Bush pounced upon the ball and shot it to third base for a force of Mann, but the ball went wild and Mann raced home with the run that gave the Braves the three straight victories over the mighty Athletics.

BOSTON LANDS FINAL

Rudolph Comes Back With Fine Perform ance and Braves Win.

ATHLETICS AT BOSTON, Tuesday, Octo ber 13. The Boston Club continued its vic torious march to the World©s Championship by winning the fourth straight game, staged at Penway Park, before 34,365 spectators, by a score of 3 to 1. Dick Rudolph, the little hero of the opening game of the series, went back into tb.a box again And though hit freely

in the early innings, soon tightened up, and after the fourth round held the Athletics help less. Shawkey started for the Athletics, and though never in trouble in the early innings, succumbed to a strong attack in the fourth and fifth innings, when the Braves scored all their runs. Pennock, who succeeded him, got through without a run being made off his de livery. The contest lacked some of the bril liant features of the previous day, but with the Athletics battling to save at least one game out of the wreck, and Boston struggling in the hope of taking a clean sweep, the con test was a bitter one, though perfectly and cleanly played. The scoring started in the fourth inning, though the Athletics had men on bases in each of the first four innings. In the last half of this round, the Braves made their first hit of the game off Shawkey, and with a 1 base on balls, it gave them a run. Evers waited, long enough for a gift to first, which proved fatal to Shawkey. Connolly hit a grounder to Conins, and with an easy dou ble play on tap, Eddie fumbled the ball. He recovered it in time, however, to catch the batter at first. Whitted" s hot grounder carom ed off Colline© shin and went for a hit, Evers going to third. Eddie limped around the infield for five minutes before he resumed playing. With the infield in, Schmidt hit a slow grounder over second and Barry just managed to grab it. He had no chance to catch Evers at home and tossed the batter out at first. Gowdy hit to Shawkey and the Braves took the field. In the fifth innings, the Athletics again hammered Rudolph for more hits and tied the score. Barry bounced one over Deal©s head, which Maranville got behind third, but Barry reached the bag ahead of the ball. Schang went out, Evers to Schmidt, Barry going to second. Shawkey laced the ball between Connolly and Whitted for two bases, scoring Barry. In the Braves© half, the World©s Champions put-over the final punch that laid the Athletics low. Maranville began the half, going out, Barry to Mclnnes. Deal went out on a grounder to Baker. Ru dolph caught one in the groove and lined it to centre for a single. Moran followed with

WORLD©S SERIES ECHOES

If Baker©s weakness is a low curve ball on the outside it Is offset in a measure by his strength, a high ball on the outside of the park.

Ed Clungeon, of the A. J. Reach Company; and Charley White, of A. G. Spalding Company, attended all the games of the series, as usual.

In Boston while the Braves and Athletics were play ing in Philadelphia teams of former players repro duced what happened in the real games.

"Collins," said Matty, "is harder to pitch to than Baker because he can hit roost anything with equal ease." To which the New York "Sun" retorted: "Baker hits the fences with more ease than Collins."

Apropos of one side of World©s Series, Tim Mur- nane, of Boston, said: "To get the best financial results Boston and New York must be the contenders, and New York is absolutely necessary for big money for the players and clubs."

After Boston won the first two games, the odds changed from even money to 3 to 1 on Boston, accord ing to Boston papers, but anyone trying to place a bet found that despite tho two games,© they could get no better than even money arfid 7 to 5.

Presentations galore ire being sent toward the Braves by their wildly-excited admirers. While on this sub ject, it might be well to advise the Mackmen to send a ball and chain to "Hanli" Gowdy, even though it be of solid gold and coats a small fortune.

Matty©s fadeaway may earn him, more press notices, but it never, even when it wab breaking a* its best, had a chance with Dick Rudolph©s slow ball. Rudolph has Matty©s brains and has Matty shaded for nerve, and no one ever accused "Big Six" of having any saffron io his make-up.

In the four years Amos Strunk has played center Held, the writer has never seen him misjudge a fly ball that was over his head until that fatal ninth inning of the second game. Amos has always been classed with Trig Speaker for his. ability in goins back for balls and his failure to locate Deal©s drive dumbfounded the crowd, who would rather have the batsman bit there than to any other part of the

outfield. It is another case of a ball player being un fortunate enough to make his one bad break of tha season just when it counted most against his team, as Me-rkle and Snodgrass, of the Giants, hare dona in tha past.

Bed Smith, the Boston©s regular third ba,sem,an, who broke Ms leg in the last game of the season, heard the , returns of tha games by ©phone, in St. Mtyy©s Hospital, Brooklyn. He waa pleased when ha heard-that Deal, his substitute, had scored the win ning run, on Saturday.

When Eddie Plank stepped to the plaie In the third inning of the second game he was given a- grand ova tion by the crowd. A home run drive from Baker©a bat winning a game may bring more noise, but could never express ths real feeling that was meant in tha plaudits for tha grand old veteran.

National League dubs hsure had their snare of ill luck on the eve of World©s Series. Evers broke his ankle a short white before the Cubs and Athletics met in 1916; last year Myers, Merfde and Snodgrass all met with injuries which incapacitated them, and this year Red Smith sustained a brokm ankle.

"Rabbit" Maranville made a wonderful impression on the fans of Philadelphia by his lightning work, and is now one of the most itopolar ball players Ira Philly. The "Rabbit" proved beyond a doubt that he is due to take the crown for "King of Shortstops" from Jack Berry when the Mack wizard begins to slow up.

The lack of ginger on the part of the Athletics In the early part of the series amazed the home crowd. Even when far in front in the American League race and against tail-end teams, the Athletics were always full of pepper, but recent happenings off the field seem to have cast a gloom over several members that could not be dispelled.

"Wild Bill" Donovan was on hand! at all the games and several magnates were seen going into conference with the former Tiger, who piloted the Prwrldenco Grays to an International League pennant. It is ru mored that the Phillies made Bill the best proposition and that he is now trying to arrange matters ao that he can get his release.

An predicted freely by National I«aetifl pitchers, Joe Connoily has done but litUe hitting during the series. Toe has a bad weakness that was being tipped off all through the circuit in the closing stages »f the race. He is liable to uncork a long drive at any time, but is not considered dangerous any more .unless the pitcher gets himself into a hole.

With so much at stake, it is only natural to suppose that a team would bo wildly enthusiastic and full of ginger till the last man is retired, but for some strange reason, the Mackme-n hare not <Hsplayed this quality. The Athletics accepted everything in a mat ter-of-fact way, whila the Braves went wild at every little play that helped: the team.

A very remarkable coincidence was that the attend ance on both the first and second days, in Philadel phia, was exactly the same, 20,562. This would not happen again in a thousand years. Still more remark- abla is that these figures are just one less than those of the first game last year in the »eriea with tha Giants, when 20,563 paid to get in.

While speaking of the Philliea and the proposed! change in management, for next season, it is said that the club must choose a man from some other club or lose some of its stars to the Federal League. According to the dope, three players will desert if Lobert is chosen; four if Magee is the new leader, and two if Pat Moran gets the job.

Tho Athletics could not understand wfiy they did not hit Jam.es. Rudolph, they say, had everything, together with wonderful headword, but th« Maokmen contend that "Seattle" Bill looted easy and did not have near so much on the ball, although he was a trifle faster. Speed ball pitching had always been easy for the Macks but James had them.

Plank©s cross-fire bewildered Ted Gather and Mann, who were sent into the game because of their ability to hit left-handers. Mann©s single which won the game was decidedly fluky, and as he waa pulling badly and had throughout the game, the ball just fell out of Collins© reach, but that was enough to permit Deal to register the winning run.

Tho day after Dick Rudolph won the opening gams of the series from the Athletics his wife made him a present that he appreciated far more than all the plaudits of the fans and flowers from admirers. It was a pretty 10-pound baby daughter. Dicfe©s mates were disappointed because it was not a future star of the diamond but tha little spit-bailer was tickled.

Barry was badly off form in his batting in the first two games but his work in the field was sensational, to ?ay the least. Time and again. Jack grabbed drives that were labeled safeties and shut off possible tal lies. This was particularly true in the second game when every ball hit in his direction seemed to bound badly, but the Holy Cross lad always handled them cleanly.

Jack Barry and "Stuffy" Mclnnes continued their wonderful fielding, but both failed dismally at the bat. Mclnnes, despite his batting slump, has jvist about convinced the base ball public populace that he is the king first sacker of the land. Some of his one-hand plays on miserably thrown balls have been marvelous, while B|arry lias been a wonder at killing base hits.

In two consecutive years Eddie Plank has twirled wonderful ball in his first World©s Series start, but has been bea-ten because his, team could not get him a run. Matty beat him 3 to 0 in ten innings last sea son after the veteran left-hander had given a won derful exhibition, and this season he was unfortuiiato enough to be pitted against such a game as Bill James twirled. ,

International League players were plentiful at tha games in both cities and naturally most of them wer« pulling hard for the Braves because of the time Stal- lings spent in Barrow©s league and the fact that most of the Braves are former International League players. The American Association was also well represented! and as usual Bobby Quinn and Owner Shoenborn, of Columbus, were no hand.

Grover Cleveland Alexander©s World©s Series arti cles must certainly have interested that gentleman con siderably as he sat in his pool room, in St. Paul, Xeb. Alexander left Philadelphia for his home three days before the close of the National League season and did not see a World©s Series game. Yet we read his "inside" story of the game. How long will tha public stand for this imposition?

Look for a little story, stating that somebody baaidea "Hank" Gowdy was doing the signalling during tha World©s Series. Maybe the tip ia wrong, but it is a ten-to-one shot that Gowdy was simply pulling tha phoney sign stuff which had the Macks outguessed) from start to finish. Consequently, they were missing those curve balls from one to three feet on third strikes with Rudolph and James.

Prior to the first game of the series in PWladel- phia, Eddie Collins was preeented with the Chalmers automobile for being the most valuable player in his league, while Evers received his in Boston, before the first game, for being the National©s most valuable man. The presentation speeches were made by Ren Mulford, chairman of the committee which selected the two second basemen.

Figure it any way you please, there must have been more to Deal©s work on the bases than critics. would have one believe,. It is claimed that he was caught asleep twice in the second and was lucky* enough to reach the nest base through careless work by the Mackmen-. Had Deal pulled the play once and gotten away with it there might be canoe for thinking it was just luck, but when it happens twiod

TO KEEP HIS PLAYER UHION LINED UP

The President of the Ball Players© Fraternity Tells of the Object of the Union and Also Gives His Version of the Kraft Case*

Dave I ultz

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 12. President Fultz, of the Ball Players© Fraternity, in a signed article In the "Post" of this city, talks as follow* of the

purpose and scope of the organiza tion which he has been twp years in building up to its present stat ure. Says he: "Complying with the principle of strength in unity, which has been recognized since the world was in siypaddling clothes, professional ball players during the season of 1913 formed an organiza tion, now knawn at the Base Ball Players© Fraternity, for their mu tual protection and benefit. Al though possessing at their very door, in organized ball, one of the greatest examples of the bene fits of combination, at least to those in the combination, tha playera had never made much-

headway at ao-operating with one another. Several attempts had been made in previous years, but none had met with anything but tha. most nieagar support.

OWNERS WELL INTRENCHED On, the other hand, the club owners were well In trenched behind an organization which in various forma had existed for 50 years. All the leagues in the country, some 50 in number, were in the com bination, and all were bound together by what Js known as tha National Agreement. The player was the property of a certain owner; he was absolutely at, his mercy; ha must play with that owner and at Ilia terms and under the various conditions prescribed or give up his profession. It ia needless to, recount the numerous ways the players were unfairly dealt with. It is only necessary to state the relation ab solute, power and self-interest opposed to utter help lessness and lea.ve it to the intelligence of tha

STUDENT OF HUMAN NATURE to imagine the result. The public can therefore ap preciate some of the obstacles with which we had to contend in the earlier stages of the organization. Although among the thinking players there was always a desire for co-speration, many of them felt they could never accomplish anything against the power ful organization of the owners. Some of them feared to be known as leaders, as they felt they would be marked men, but tha greatest ob3ta.de was the lack ef confidence in one another existing among the boyi. and their uncertainty as to tho amount of co-operation and loyalty they could rely upon.

SHOW THEIR GAMBNESS "While many of the owners were big enough to look

upon the move as a legitimate one, others tried in numerous ways, and with various degrees of success, to intimidate the players. The early part of the con struction period Was, therefore, a most discouraging one, and but for the determined effort of 1,0 or 12 game fighters the movement must necessarily have failed. Our organization stands for the uplift of the game. We desire to obtain better playing conditions; to improve the conduct of the players, both on and off the .field; to preserve ths obligation of contracts, ©both of player and owner; to obtain the fairest con tract possible for the player, and to be of financial assistance to worthy indigent players and their fam ilies. Tha salary question we cannot touch; that must always be a, question for .negotiation between the

MAGNATE AND THE PLAYER. We haren©t the slightest desire to run base ball, and have committed no act which could justly give rise to this recent allegation of a well-known mogul. We know we ara not in any sense qualified, but sim ply because we insist that agreements with us shall ba lived up to is no indication that we are encroach ing upon the prerogatives of the magnates. We do, however, feel qualified to take care of the business end of the player©s relations with the magnate, and we know of no valid reason why we should not be per mitted to do so.

TELXS OF KRAFT CASH"The trouble in the Kraft case was brought about by

what tho players felt was an attempt to sidetrack tha Fraternity agreement. Two of the clauses of that agreement read as follows:

"©Eighteenth Before a major league player shall be released outright or under an optional agreement to Class A or a louver classification hia services shall first be tendered to all Class AA clubs at a price not to exceed $1000 and then to all Class A clubs at a price not to exceed $750. If he be a. drafted player the club from which he is drafted shall have a prior claim to all other dubs in its classification.

" ©Twenty-first The provision of this agreement hall take precedence over any conflicting base ball legislation or clause of a player©s contract.©

"Kraft was a major league player belonging to Brook lyn. Brooklyn secured major league waivers and sent him to Newark, an .AA classification club. There Kraft signed a-n absolutely binding contract for the remainder of the season. The National Commission then interposed, nullified the Newark contract, and ordered the player, by virtue of an old section of the National Agreement, to report to Nashville, where his salary would be cut $150 per month.

The Chicago Manager Declares That the Federal League is Giving the Public the Kind of Ball That Interests.

BY JOSEPH B. TINKERCHICAGO, Ilia., October 12. An Eastern base ba.ll

expert in a recent analysis of tna, Federal League declared that from being a foe of tha third major league he had become an ardent partisan of the Gilmore circuit for the reason that a trip around the circuit had shown him that the Federals were play ing a much higher class of ball than the two other major leagues, and, therefore, were deserving of the support of the fans. He also declared that the ma jority of those who are opposed to the Federal League of course not meaning tha powers of Organized Ball are persons who have not seen the Federals in action. This proves that the press as well aa the sport followers have been converted to tha fact that the

Federals have come to etay aru} are playing the kind of base ball that interesta the patrwis. Ths reasons the Federals hava oome to stay and; are entitled t» the consideration and support of the fans can be shown in three ways. In the first Plaoa, tha Federals are playing major league base ball, because na one can deny that they have collected ©

A BUNCH OF STARSIn all departments of the game, which insure the major league class of ball. Furthermore, the time of the games, the almost errorless play of the Federals, their speed on the bases and the hitting of the junior league all supjwrt my contention that the Federals are playing high-class base ball. In the second place, I might cite the fact that the backers of Uia Federal League are clean sportsmen, who have taken tha chance of losing a wad of money to give the fans high-class base ball such as they are entitled to, and it would be absurd to imaging that the magnates of our league would undertake a sporting venture that they could not carry through. Because the Federal League backers are trying to give the fgjjs what they should have in the way of base ball it ia no more than fair to the Federals that foes of the baby league should at least investigate our circuit

BEFORE PASSING JUDGJUENT. In other words, before forming an opinion they should at least see the Federals in action and not make statements regarding the organization that are not bania out by facts. All that we ask is a fair com parison, and such a comparison I am sure will prove to any impartial judga that the Federals are worthy of tha backing of tha fans. The third reason why ths Federals are entitled to the support of the fans lies in the fact that we ha.ve in a brief space of three months, since tha season opened, developed a league that is remarkable in many ways. A few days ago I was slightly under the weather and decided to dress early when I saw that the game was cinched for the Chicago team, and having dressed, I entered a box near the third base line to sea how my team looked from the position of the spectator. I sat near a man who failed to recognize me as the manager of the Chicago team. Naturally, as several interesting plays developed I got into conversation with the stranger, and in the course of the conversation he »ada this remark, which I consider

OF INTEREST TO THE PANSthroughout the country: "One of the things that has impressed me tha most in this game is the class of pla,y of the. Federals.. I cams here expecting to see mediocre base bill, but on the contrary I hava seen base ball of the highest class. Why, do you know, if, soma of the plays that have been made here today had been made in an Organized Ball game they would have been written in tha annals of base ball for years to come." Now, this is merely the viewpoint of a stranger; a man who did not know that I was in any way interested in either of the teams. He was mersly earnest in his contention that the Federals wero playing major league base ball, if not playing better -base ball than that offered by tha other major leagues. And, I want to tell you, that this opinion regarding the play of the Federals Is gaining ground daily, and I have become each day better

SATISFIED WITH THE NEW I*K4QOT and more confident that we have not only come to stay, but ultimately will be recognized by the fans throughout the country as the only league that really offers the highest grade of© base boll.© The various managers ef the Federal League have been able to bring their teams to a stage of perfection that they can be truly compared to well-oiled machines. Our fielding, base running and hitting is attracting at tention all over the country, not only in the cities of the Federal League, but even as far West as the Pacific Coast, where the Federals are attracting more attention than either of the other major leagues. The whole secret of our success lies in the fact that wo are trying to give the pubjio the worth, of their money. We are giving them base ball games that interest and we hava enough pl»yer» pf natjon-wids reputation to do it

The Small Sum of $15,000 Proba&ly Saved the Brittons From Financial Disaster in the Three-Cornerd Local Fight.

BY SIB a KEENERST. LOUTS, Mo., October 12. Paying a $15,00»

bonus to ball players may not be the most cheerful move for a magnate in these current war-time days, out SchuylCT Pearson Britton should smile every time he signs his name to the checks which will be award ed to these third place Cardinals. It is the payment of this extra coin which really has saved the 1911 local National League dub from complete ruin Tail-end teams, barring 1911, have been the annual finishes for the Cardinals for years and years, and tail-end teams have been lucky in allowing the© local treasury to quit

JUST A FEW DOLLARSabove tho marie. Probably in some seasons th«re was a slight loss, but never much one way or t*» other. However, then St Louis harbored but two ball cl«bs; there wag no war; there were big gates an around the droust. In 1911 it was guite different. With a lossr on the ball field the Cardinals managed to squirm through each season. The salaries were paid: the expenses were reached, and there was very little snrplus- this, mind you, with cl«bs that were last or near the last position. In 1914 Organized Base Ball had to fight with the Wederal League, and the 1914 base ball season easily is the worst magnates have experienced in years and years. So what would hava been the finish for the Cardinals with a tail-ender in 1!NU? Complete ruin!

WILt, NOT SUPPORT THREE CMJBS Now Prexy Britton has to add in the neighborhood of $15.000 for the salaries to his players. He should pass out the checks in a- cheerful mood: he should grin and smile at third place because this has saved his club: third place allowed the Brittons to weather this base ball war; they will not clear a fortune: they may quit the season a little to the good finan cially, but how many bi( league clubs. Federal League ones, also, are going into retirement this week with a balance in favor of the receipts in this bad year? Base ball moguls have discovered that no city will support three clubs. St. Louis has three clubs, and St. .Louis did not and will not support three clubs The Federals

RECEIVE THE TOUGH BREAK when their Spring spurt was forgotten; they slid down the ladder; they mingled with the tail-enders, and their lasses will ba heavy, according to reports maybe around $100,000. Picture an eighth placer out at Robison Field in this war! The same answer as the Federals maybe $100.000 to the bad. When $15,009 can gave a. $500.000 plant, that©s a pretty fortunate break. We believe that just three National League clubs will make money this season. They are the Cardinals. Giants and Braves. The Cubs drew little at home; the Reds packed ©em for six weeks and then played to empty seats; Pittsburgh is a

loser; tfce aajM tot $ra*lyt*, «lso Philadelphia. » third placet for the Cardinals haa th«m listed with tho winners.

TOO MACHINE-LIKEA Famous Veteran Points Out the Mani

fest Lack of Initiative of the Modern Players, Stars Included.

BY W. A, PHEIiGNCTNCrNNAIl, O., October 12. Willie Keeler, 43,

and gray as a badeer, but still lithe and trim of frame, saw the Reds and Robins battle, "I©m a guest at this ball park," said Keeler, "and it hardly befits me to criticise any. of the latter-day players. It seems to me, though, that the modern© clubs are too much managerial machines not enough reliance on the individual cleverness of the players. Even in a pinch, where the action should be like lightning, you©ll see the men waiting for orders from the man ager, when in my opinion any man whq is good enough to play big league ball should be good enough to

THINK BJS OWN WATout of tight pinches. We the old Baltimore* had our instructions and our signals. But when it came to an emergency we were supposed to look out for our selves, and we usually did. Depend on the manager to relay orders in a pinch? Say, I©ve seen, this very season, a man stealing second, turn his head and look to the bench for instructions as to whether he should go on, turn back, or send out for dinner!" One gloomy shadow on the future screen: The gib beting of sundry scouts if their most recent discoveries do not turn out extremely well. About

TWO-THIRDS OF THE SCOUTS are on the edge of dismissal right now, as the pun ishment befitting the sort of juniors they have been sending up to, the major leagues. Either there are almost no young players worth advancing, or else the scouts have been seeing only the worst, false alarms imaginable. And what use are scouts anyway? On tho showing made by the graduates of the three Class AA leagues this Summer©, the International fur nished the major clubs with more men and better men than either the American Association or th< Pacific Coast League. Most of the big carda recruited from the Coast League or the American Association have gone bacV whence they came or are merely car ried as second or third utility men.

THE L L I LEAGUEThe Directors of the League Find Enough

Money In the Treasury to Pay All Bills Except President Tearney©s Salary.

CHICAGO, His., October 7. The I. I. I. League directors met in the Palmer House yesterday to con sider the financial condition of the organization. Tha close of the fourteenth season found $173.49 in the treasury, but the salary of President Albert H. Tear- ney- remains unpaid. This amount is $2,500. The accounts were considered by the auditing committee, consisting of J. T. Hayes, Davenport, Ia., chairman, and C. F. Jones, Peoria, and Charles A. Schuppes, Springfield. President Tearnsy reported a fairly suc cessful season despite changes in the makeup of tho organisation. Eight clubs finished tha season, but it is expected that one or two new towns will replace tha weaker members of tna association. Tho election of officers will take plane at the midwinter session. President Teamey has announced he will not be a, candidate for re-election. All dubs except Peoria, were represented. The directors adjourned today until October 20, when they will meet in Peoria, Ills. Thay expect to decide what citica are to comprise the league at the Peoria session. Each club in the league is to maka a $505 deposit to guarantee that it will finish out the season, the. officials ruled yesterday. These deposits; will start the league put with $4,000 in the treasury.

!<!«» from one John J. McGraw, noted fey his fail ure t-Q make tha New Tork Giants four-time pennant- winners in the National League:

June 1 "The big disappointment of the year has been the Boston Braves. I had expected Stallings to get his team in tha first division right at the start and keep it there."

July IT "Those poor old Eostonians. They still are at the bottom of the pile, where they appear to be anchored. They surely are tha season©s big surprise."

August 1 "The Braves have made a great showing during the past two weeks. They are now in fourth place and should not drop back again to last place.

August 15 "The Braves are now second, but we aren©t worried. Their spurt is just a flash and they©ll soon be headed the other way."

August 23 "Yet, the Braves are tied with the Giants now. We now will start to work and sweep away from the crowd at our best gait."

September 1 "Aa I predicted, the Braves did not stay with us. They have dropped back to second place and they have probably shot their bolt. They will decline from this on. Mark my words."

October 8 "The Braves? Dash, blankety-blankety- Wank . Confound it. Don©t annoy roe. Can©t you see I©m trying to buy a ticket to see the World©s Series ?"

Continued from third pagethe Boston youngster must be given credit for clever work. Earlier in the season hs succeeded in stealing third base twice in one game on Bill Killjfef, of the PhiHies, by drawing a throw to second and then go ing the other way. *

Practically all of Boston©s hits in the first two games were made from fast balls after the Athletic; pitchers had gotten themselves into a hole trying ©to work the batters too much. Throughout the season Boston has been a fast-ball-hitting club and one that was successful in staging rallies simply because a. pitcher would work with the hitter too long and the Braves could lay for the fast ball.

Speaking of breaks, tha Braves certainly got the prize one in the third game of the series. Said break consisted of the shifting of the Braves© batting order by moving Deal up into Gowdy©s position and; playing Hank, down in his old position©. The move was made simply to give Deal more confidence in himself, but broke the right way, as it had Gowdy up to the plate just when he was needed most.

The press arrangements both in Boston and Phila delphia were ideal and no stone was left unturned to make the stay of the large array of visiting news paper men a pleasant one in each city. The scribes numbered by far more than at. any previous series, and Joe McCready, of Philadelphia, and Ralph Mo- Millan, of Boston, and tha two clubs deserve great credit for their work in handing this end.

Every Boston player who stepped to the plate watch ed the bench closely- for instructions.. If the first two pitches were bills the baiter would turn to the bench to gee whether- Stallings wanted him to play the

string out or bit away. It was evident at all timns that Stallings was doing tho thinking for the entire team with the exceptions of Bvers and Jlaranville, who were allowed to use their own judgnoant.

Some ball players rise to fame in a- World©s Series that are begrudged their popularity by fellow players because they are not well-liked personally, but not even the Athletic players begrudge "Rabbit" Maran- ville the fame he has earned. Tha "Rabbit" is a fine little man personally, and is one of the most popular players among his opponents that ever graced a. ball field, and Uiis is indeed something to be proud at.

After former Mayor Fitzgerald had presented Mana ger Stallings with a stickpin in behalf of tha Jloyal Rooters on Monday, Mayor Curley, who was seated in a box behind the Braves© dugout, presented Manager Stallings with a gold bat of regulation mould. He then presented Johnny Bvers with a, regulation ball of the same precious material. Hank Gowdy was remembered by friends with a gold watch and chain.

A photograph of the play at third base, in the first inning of the first same, when Eddie Murphy was de clared out by Umpire Klem, proves beyond a doubt that third baseman Deal missed him by two feet. In the photograph, which is remarkably clear, Murphy is on tho bag and Deal is just turning to put the ball on Murphy, who is fully two feet away from him. The Macks raised an awful howl about this Kuae decision.

Many brilliant plays have been pulled in World©s Series games and it is always hard to class one above another, but the unanimous opinion of those who have seen all the games ever played in World©s Series, was that Jack Barry©s bare-handed catch of Moran©s foul fly in the sixth inning of the first game outclassed them all. It was certainly a wonderful effort and took the crowd by storm whale the Braves looked on in aniazement.

Dick Rudolph was given a great reception by the Philly fans when he stepped to the plate in the ninth inning of the first game. Rudolph appears to be far more popular with the fans than James, who twirled a better game of ball. The fans like to see a little pitcher succeed becawso of ths prejudice major league managers have against a twirler who is not a si?-, footer. Rudolph©s success this season may open Uia eyes of a few managers.

Stuffy Mclnnes© work in handling throws into th« runne.r during the first two games in Philadelphia- was the greatest exhibition ever given by a first-saoker in a World©s Series, and has seldom been duplicated in the regular playing season. Stuffy grabbed several throws with hi? gloved hand, right against the run ner©s back. In this respect "Stuffy" is a marvel and there is not a man in base ball who can do as niuchi with one hand as "Stuffy."

Rudolph©s hoadwork has seldom been surpassed la any game, much less a World©s Series contest, an,d his nerve was remarkable. He took chances even be fore his team gave him a, large lead that would ordi narily be considered suicidal by American League pitchers, but he always got away with it simply be cause he was pulling the unexpected. Early in the game ha was wasting two pitches on almost every batter, but when ha saw the Mackmen wero getting wise he suddenly switched and shot the flrst two across and then worked with him. Invariably a wide: curve or slow ball, both kept away from the plate, brought about a pleasing result after ho had tha hitter in the hole. Matty at his best never had any thing on Rudolph for working with a batter after tw had him in a bole.

B©an Johnson was very much excited over the de feat of the Athletics in the opening game of the se ries. It was not so much the defeat, but "Chief" Bender©s indifference, that peeved Ban, who is quoted by a New York paper, as follows: "It appears that a few days before the opening of the World©s Series Mack ordered Bender to go to New York and watch the challengers in action. A few hours later Connie ran into the Chief on the streets of Philadelphia. ©I thought you had gone to look over the Braves,© said Mack, somewhat testily. ©Oh, I didn©t giro that a second thought,© answered tho Indian. ©What©s the use of wasting a perfectly good afternoon looking over that bunch of bush league hitters?© Mack, it is said, did not forget to remind the Indian of his re mark when Bender reached tha Philadelphia bench. Friday afternoon."

Stories, Both Humorous and Seri ous, Illustrating Thoughts, Hab its and Characters of Ball Play ers, Managers and Magnates*

BY J. CHANDLER RICHTER PHILADELPHIA, Pa., October 12. Editor

"Sporting Life." The hand of Fielder Jones with, the Federal League is already showing; it

self and inroads are being made on Organized Ball in a new direction. Heretofore the Pacific Coast League has been troubled but little by the in dependent organization, but since Jones cast his lot with the new league© many of the best men on the Coast are signing with various Federal League clubs. "Babe" Bor- ton, the brilliant young first baseinau of the Venice Club, has announced that he has signed a two-year contract with the St. Louis Federals.

Borton was with the White Sox and figured in the trade for Chase, of the New Yorks. He was figured out as inexperienced and sent back to the minors. With Venice, Borton has been a star of the highest class and is a val uable addition to the Federal League. Coast critics state that almost all of the best men in the league have either signed or will sign with the Federal League during the Winter. As only one man can be drafted from a Class AA league, and there are at least four men on each club in the league worthy of a major league trial, the Feds will find it a lucrative field. __

Cra-wford©s Wonderful Record "Wahoo Sam©© Crawford, of Detroit, has

made a record that will probably never be equaled in base ball again. In 1912, Craw- ford missed a couple of games early in the season and then completed the season without missing a contest. After the season closed he played in the New Orleans Winter League and then through the 1913 season without even missing aii exhibition game. Then he took the World©s Tour with the Giar.ts and White Sox, reporting at tty« training camp of the Tigers three days after the boat docked in New York. Crawford has gone through the

Fielder Jones

present season without even missing an in ning and, barring accident, intends to play on through the coming Winter. In all that time Crawiord has played the same consistent ball and batted at his usual terrific clip. This is the sort of a player that is of value to a club, one who loves the game aad who is always IB it.

Thomas and Devote In Luck Josh Devore©s luck in being shifted to Bos

ton in time to take part in the dividends of the World©s Series coin, recalls that Ira Thomas, captain of the Athletics, has been even luckier than Josh, as Ira Thomas was twice released into a World©s Series. When Thomas was released by the tailend New Yorks, in 1908, he was immediately grabbed by Hughey Jennings for Detroit and arrived in time to collect a check for the Cubs-Tigers series. In the Summer of 1910, Ira and Jennings got to calling each other names and waivers were asked on the big backstop. Connie Mack re fused to waive, and Ira joined the Athletics, who proceeded to win the pennant that sea son. Ira is still with the champions and will, for the fifth time, get a share of the money. It has been stated that Johnny Evers will be the first man to share in the receipts of five World©s Series, but such is^not the case, as Harry Davis, Chief Bender and Eddie Plank will also collect their fifth National Commis sion check, as they all took part in the Ath letics-New York series, in 1905.

Here©s some things that Irwin did. according to Fred Van Ness© report of what Frank Chance told him. as published in the New York "Globe." Upon Irrvin©s assertion that Frank Truesdale was as good a ball player as Fritz Maisel, the New Yorks paid what amounted to $14.500 for him to the Buffalo Club. Truesdale kept his job with the New Yorks a very short time. To get Trueedala, Chance traded Frank Cillioolev. an Irwin "ftnrt." who had an absolutely U^B- lesH throwing! arm. Gilhooley cost the New Yorks $12,00©0. Chance says Ban Johnson warned him when he took the management of the New York Club not to stand for Irwin as a scout. As far as Buffalo fans have been able to see, Gilhooley©* throwing arm must have improved 1000 per cent, in this climate if It was dead when he came here. Furthermore, in ri-gard to TtUesdale, the former Bison had little or no chance to s<how what Ke could do in New York, and even at that he was the best of the lot tried out so far this season by the New Yorks." From the Buffalo "Even ing Times."

We might add that no one has ever accused Mr. Chance of developing a young player, or picking one out. The famous Cub machine was willed to Chance by Frank Selee and. the men were natural brainy ball players, who did their own thinking. It seems as though the ball team made the manager, and not the manager the team. On the whole, Chance has been a failure in New York and his excuse about the club not spending money does not go very well with the fans who know that President Farrell has spent more than

any club in" the American League. Figures do not lie, and the National Commission©s Statements prove conclusively that Mr. Farrell leads the league in purchase money spent since 1913.

Rogge©s Peculiar AversionA minor leaguer Who refuses to go to a big league

club is indeed a rare specimen, but Toronto, of the International League, has one. He is pitcher Rogge, Who was recalled by the White Sox a few daya ago. Rogge refused to sign a. White Sax contract and tha club was forced to waive its option. Rogge claims that the White Sox sent him back to a minor league club twice without giving him a fair trial and that he will quit base ball before ho returns to Chicago. The &trange part of it is thai Manager Callahan insists that he will put in a draft for him, as he thinks ha is now thoroughly seasoned.

GIANTS CAPTURE SERIESNational Leaguers Defeat Americans in

Four Out of Five Games for the Man hattan Championship Title.By capturing four of five games played, the

New York Gianta defeated the American League team of New York, in the series for the championship of Manhattan. The. first game was played on October 8, Mathewson winning, and closed on October 13, Demaree coming through with a victory. The total at tendance for four games was 39,866; receipts, $30,563.75; players© share, $15,896.52; club owners© share, $11,610.87, and National Com mission, $3,056.36. Owing to the fact that the Giants won the City Championship, they will divide 60 per cent, of the $15,896.53, which represents the players© pool, or $9,- 537.91, among 26 men, an average of $366.84 apiece. The residue, or $6,358.61, will be shared equally by the 20 eligibles of the New Yorks. Each should receive $317.93 as consolation. The details of the series follow:

GIANTS WIN FIRST GAMEThe first game of the series was played on Thursday,

October 8. The Giants won. 6-5, in the tenth inning of an exciting game, thanks to two timely hits. These decisive blows came in the shapa of a three-bagger by Bob BcK-he* a.nd a single by Larry Doyle. Captain Larry dropped tha ball near the foul line and Beaoher trotted over the plate with tha run that gave the. Giants first blood in the battle for the base ball title of New York. While Bencher and Doyle© played promi nent parts in the Giants© triumph, little George Bums, the blushing bridegroom, did much to help McGraw©a team win. He made four clean hits dur ing the afternoon©s entertainment and a great catch off Doc Cook©s bat in the third inning that prevented a couple of Highlanders from crossing the plate. Scci-c:

*HT All the happenings in the Base Ball "World are recorded in "Sporting Life" jrot* week to week.

AS THE WORLD RUNS

AS this issue of "Sporting Life" goes to press the World©s Championship Series,

between the Athletic and Boston teams, will be in progress and may even be completed, everything depending either upon the weather or upon the resistance offered by the Boston team to the Athletic team, to which general critic opinion has awarded the palm of artistic superiority. In any event our Editorial Re view of the series will have to be deferred until our next issue. During the past week the National League arid American League races oame to a close, and the pennant ques tion in the Federal League was also resolved in favor of Indianapolis, which managed to beat out Chicago by "a nose." In this issue will be found our regular Annual Review of the two major leagues, and a new feature in tables of the National League and American League races, giving the positions of all of the teams dairy, from the beginning to the end of the season. Inasmuch as the Eastern con tingent of the Federal League is still engaged with closing series, as our inside pages go to press, the review of that league©s race must necessarily be deferred until the next issue, when will also be presented a day-by-day rec ord of that race. This will dispose of the actire season of all leagues but one minor organization, and clear the d.eeks for what is ure to prove a busy Winter, from both news and editorial standpoints, and therefore cure to be pleasing and profitable, at least, to the fans, who make and unmake Base Ball.

REAL "FAIR PLAY"

ONE of the best and greatest ae-wspapers of this country, ably, decently, and fairly

conducted, namely, the Philadelphia "Led ger," is striving to th« utmost to preserve in its columns such neutrality in th« European war as President Wilson sought to impose upon his countrymen. Bat it has found its task so unpleasant and unpopular that it is moved to admonish its readers as to the mean ing of neutrality and fair play, in the follow ing terms:

"Any oontroveraUI isstoe, big or little, enrolls on either aide a number of partisans so virulently bigot ed, so unpersoadaMy biased, that, they Will not listen to any opinion or aoospt any fact that does not sup port their own predigested Ideas. Ehat is always true of discussions regarding suffrage, religion and other topics; it is true now of the war. These ques tions enlist embittered controversialists who cannot consider evtn an abstract Idea without slinging mod and calling names. Such is the love of power on, the part of some that Uie most inconspicuous office in the gift of a limited constituency may become a, storm centre of the Heroes* passions and turn the milk of human kindness into gall and wormwood. It Is all very well to want your own side to hare a hearing, but "fair play" demands the same chance for the opposition. There is no newspaper worthy the name that secludes either party to a controversy because one is more powerful or more popular. Often, U la txue, nc&thar side is pleased, becaate both want

the monoply and both demand that tne ease of the adversary shall remain unheard."

The above is submitted, without further comment, to the parties engaged in a bitter base ball war, as destructive in its way to Base Ball as the war across the sea is to civilization. Particularly is it commended to the Organized Ball magnates who seem to con sider that the followers of Base Ball are such imbeciles that they ought to be deaf, dumb and blind in the presence of the conflict be tween Organized Ball and the Federal League; and that Base Ball editors and commentators should be docile idiots or human jellyfish.

VERY GRAVE QUESTIONS

T EADERS in Organized Ball are quoted as*~* being resolved not to make peace with the Federal League, or ever to admit that organi zation to the protection of Organized Ball, for the reasons that © ©the third major league movement is a failure;" that "the indepen dent league is in a moribund condition;" and that "it might as well be left to die unsung and unmourned." Be all that as it may, could not the Federal League die just as soon, with less ado and with fangs drawn, in Organized Ball as without the pale of that system ? And in that case would not only the two old major leagues, but the entire world of base ball which embraces a great deal more .than two leagues confined to vir tually one section, though labeled "major leagues©© be spared another year of friction on the field, in the courts, and in the council cham ber; of heavy individual, league, and club losses apart from evils affecting the game for which the war is not responsible, but to the correc tion of which another year of strife would be an insurmountable obstacle? Why not take into consideration the fact that all major leagues, including the present National League and American League, were born of rebellion, which is always patriotism when successful and treason when unsuccessful? And why not stop to consider that in every case where

how well they have succeeded may be gleaned from the following article in a New York paper, dealing with just one phase of the evils that have been forced upon the game by its protectors rather than its enemies:

"There Is no doubt that MoGraw is planning a complete reorganisation of his club for nexf year, but an unexpected obstacle has arisen. Most all of the present players especially the veterans are under three-year contracts at high salaries. These contracts were made ironbound so that they could not be broken by the players who might get notions about the Federal League. This ironbound clause also tied up the owners, and the question arises as to how McGraw .is going to get rid of these men when, he starts his reorganization. Of course they can be sold or transferred by trade, but in any event the dub which gets them must assume the contract and pay the sala.ry. Will they? They will not. ©As a matter of fact.© said one of the magnates recently, ©the clubs rushed too quickly into that plan of pro tecting themselves against the Federal League. They would be better off in many cases if the Federals had succeeded in weaning away the players they were after. Here we are loaded up with a lot of material we do not want, but have got to carry.© "

What applies to the New York National dub applies to every club in the two old major leagues witfi no ray of light or hope of relief in sight. But this greatest blunder in the history of base ball Wars, involving virtual abrogation of two fundamentals of organization, can hardly be laid directly at the door of the harassed club owners. Every serious mistake in the battle between Organ ized Ball and the Federal League was made after the National Commission assumed, or was granted, sole and absolute conduct of the war, on behalf of Organized Ball; and from the moment that body permitted itself to be come entangled with law and lawyers^

A FRANK REVIEW

Omaha "Bee"Base ball admittedly had to be developed up to a

business basis before It was solidly grounded and yet, haven©t conditions this season shown that indefinite developments along business lines will not do? Base ball, after all, Is primarily a sport and, if we correctly sense the situation, all the business it needs Is just

No Off Season in Base BallPBOPOS to the rapidly approaching close of the active base ball season of

1914, we desire to remind our readers that every month in the year is crowded with the activities of base ball. But the WINTER months are emphatically the months of creative interest. WINTER is the season of statecraft, when the individual forces assemble, deliberate and produce the plans, purposes, politics, rule revisions, team rebuilding, contract signing

and the groundwork from which emanates all the vitality there is in base ball. WINTER is the period for education in all of the real fundamentals of America©s Great National Game, and it is then that the lovers of the sport sit by their firesides studying and keeping in touch with the great preparations that are being made for the next Summer season. These WINTER activities make it a trite saying that there would be no Summer if there were not a WINTER in base ball. "Sporting Life©s" unique position in journalism makes it possible for YOU to review in leisure moments of each week the WHOLE FIELD of the 40 or more leagues, 300 or more clubs, and 5000 or more players in Organized Base Ball and of the 2000 or more gun clubs that are under the auspices of the INTERSTATE ASSOCIATION FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF TRAP SHOOTING. And, "Sporting Life©s" edi torials on the more important affairs of the base ball and trap shooting world are especially illuminating. To keep thoroughly posted the fan must read "Sporting Life" all the year, Winter as©well a* Summer.

a base ball war has not been decisively set tled in one year it has ended with the tri umph of the invader and in admission to the great base ball family upon terms that could have been obviated by avoidance of procrasti nation due to pride of opinion or short-sighted estimate of power and prospect? Going no further back than the most modern times, we find© that had the National League made peace with the rebellious American League in 1901 instead of waiting for the disasters of 1902 to enforce a truce and alliance, it might have spared itself mere or less humiliation, the loss of many players, the virtual wrecking of a number of clubs, the invasion of St. Louis and New York; while the American League would probably never hare risen to the dig nity and power that accompanied the round- ing out of its circuit and teams in the second year of its war for recognition and fellow ship. Will ©the National League and Ameri can League now jointly commit the same mis take as the senior league made then? If so, it is safe to predict that history will assert its inevitable habit of repeating itself except that the cost will be infinitely greater and the consequences more disastrous and far-reach ing than was the case after the wars of 1890- 91 and 1901-02. Are the magnates prepared to pay the price; and if so, will the minor allies, the press and the public sanction the needless sacrifice?

THE SEED SPROUTING

EVERT reader of "Sporting Life" knows how sincerely, earnestly, and unremittingly

we protested, even at the cost of the good will of the powers of Organized Ball, against the resort to law by both Organized Ball and the Independents, and the injection of lawyers and judges into a game which from its incep tion until the present evil day has been a law approved and understood alike by the capitalists and the players of the game unto itself. What the lawyers would do to Base Ball we plainly foresaw and proclaimed; and

enough to make It sufficiently profitable to continue as a good sport. It cannot be made a business flrst and sport last without destructive results. That has been the tendency of late. That is exactly what ails the game today. We are convinced that the stress must be removed from the commercial to the sporting aspect. In doing this, a better equation must be established and maintained between salaries and actual values. Fewer men must be carried by major league clubs. Syndicate base ball and the cornering of players must stop. The rules of the game limiting the powers of farming out men must bo lived «p to. Contracts be tween employers and employes must mean as much in base ball as any other business relation. We have boasted of the stability and durability of the great game. It was not only the national pastime, but the national obsession. Is it today? Go into nine out of ten base ball dtiai of the country and note the diminution in attendances and answer the question for yourself. We would hate to thick of doing without our base ball, yet millions of people have found out and demonstrated that they can do without it.

NOT PADDED CELLS

Cincinnati "Times-Star"Considering the number of accidents that are caused,

almost dally, by players crashing Into the stand, the field boxes, or even the outfield walla, while chasing fly balls, why not Insure the safety of the athletes, shew plain, common sense, and save a lot of money in the long run by podding the harriers? The de mand for more selling capacity, resulting in putting perch-room into every available square foot of terri tory, has narrowed the roving ground of the players and immeasurably increased their liability t» accidents. It would cost little to shield every foot of stone or wvoden surface with thickly padded cushioning. The list of man who have had bouoe broken or been, stunned by tenrifie conaawtens during the past flva reaa li a ton* on*

PRICES AND SALARIESfj

Philadelphia "Record"Now between players and magnates base ball k

having a hard row to hoe. Bach is apparently taking turns in getting before the public in an undesirable way, and each Is pulling at the popularity of the sport in opposite directions. How long the game will stand the strain is a question. Base ball today has come to be more or less of a luxury. Ifce time was when the game appealed to the masses, when at popular prices It offered opportunities to go often; but with the elections of the players and the efforts of

club owners to keep an even balance the people who make the game have been forced to pay more for their amusement and have been relegated to the extreme limits of the field unless they are willing to come across with the added tariff for desirable places to view the games. This season the supporters have shown a disinclination to do it. unless offered a bargain in the way of a double-header or the game is between teams that are high in the pennant race. Of necessity the weak clubs have suffered financially and this haa bad an undesirable effect all around. In view of the attendances this Summer it is not unlikely that the ruling powers will get together before another sea son and seek a remedy. When they do, it is alto gether probable that the players will be the sufferers, and that the present abnormally high salaries will be scaled to reasonable proportions and the game put back on the basis of former years. One thing i» sure, reforms of some radical character are needed.

FALLACY OF FIGURES

New York "Mall"Averages compiling ©the genial statistics take up a

lot of space and help start a bundle of arguments, but we have never discovered just what else they are useful for. The Gjants last season batted .275. This season they are batting .268. The Braves last season batted .253. This season they are only batting .246. The Giant slump has been shown, but the Braves have done far better batting .246 than they did with .253. The figures also show they are fielding no better. They have fewer stolen bases than any club In the game. And yet here they are. blithely skipping along in front. Well, you say, their pitching has im proved, and pitching is a big- part of the game. If this is true, wherefore the status of the New Yorksf When Caldwell was on deck the New Yorks bad about the best pitching in their league. And their fielding averages are exactly the same as the Braves. Cald well, Keating, Gole, Fisher and Brown easily rank with Tyler, James and Rudolph. But despite all this one club is jammed into the second division and the other is leading the league. The Dodgers and Phil- lies are 20 points ahead of the Braves at bat. After all. there is a certain unknown quantity or indefinite quality about the make-up of a winner that isn©t easily outlined. You can rarely prove the winner©s margin by any set of pallid figures. The old order has changed more than most people know. In the last two months the Giants have gained most of their ground through Chicago and Pittsburgh clubs they have beaten with fair regularity. But they have suf fered horrible reverses from Boston, Cincinnati and Brooklyn three clubs that for years have furnishedi them most of their edge. No wonder they are dazed a btt a/, such a sudden reversal.

TOO MUCH PITCHER

New York "Sun"With all veneration for tha supremely scientlfl«

pitchers and their sky-scraping salaries, many of ui will agree with ihe Massachusetts critic, that too much pitching and too little batting make base ball a dull game. Even as in the days of the Athletics, Mutuais. Haymakers, old original Red Stockings, and the rest of the ancients, the crowd wants at least many of us believe it wants to see the ball go Hying through the air, and the fielders, shortstop, basenien busy a) the devil, and three Lapland witches in a gale of wind, flying feet and outstretched hands, leaps, dives, slides as of all the avalanches of all the Alps; wild yells in the crowd, everybody up, a fire and a fight, so to apeak, and not a demonstration of trajectories and paid lesson of ennui. In base ball, as in politics, there is altogether too much one man power. The pitching department has encroached upon Its co ordinate branches. A good deal more swatting of tin ball and movement, please, magnificoa and magnates* Restore the nine man game.

John K. Tener

The Official Rec ord of the 1914 Pennant Race, with Tabulated Scores and Accu rate Accounts of all Championship Games Played.

o.

The Boston Team the "Winner of the Championship for the First Time Since 1898 BneJ Review of the Race and the Contesting Teams.

By the Editor of "Sporting Life" The thirty-ninth annual championship

campaign of the National League, the oldest organization, professional or amateur, in the base ball world, began on April 14 and ended October 6, with the Boston teapi winner of the pennant for the first time since 1898, after one of the most sensational races on record in this league( the team working its way clear from the bottom on July 18, by September 2, and thereafter, except for two days, was never again headed- a feat only equaled in National League history by John Morrill©s Boston team of 1883; During the Bostons© great run from July 18 to September 8, they won 34 of 44 games; but the team©s upward movement really begaii on July 6, when the Boston team twice defeated Brook lyn, and from that date to the finish the©Bos tons won 68 games and lost 20 games for .?73.

THE BOSTON TEAMowed its success to the effective pitching of Rudolph, James and Tyler, the steady catch ing of (Jowdy, brilliant infield work under the inspiration of second baseman Evers and shortstop Maranville, and the hard hitting of outfielder Connolly.. The team was composed mainly of cast-off players , secured during last year when Boston finished fifth and last Spring; but the team Was considerably strengtlaened by the acquisition after mid- season of third baseman Siriith from Brooklyn, infielder Whitted and outfielder Cather from St. Louis, and outfielder Devore. Perhaps the largest individual factor of the team©s success was its forceful handling by Manager Stallings, who Was ably seconded by the astute team captain, second baseman Evers.

THE NEW YORK TEAMwhich had won the pennant three successive times, was at the start universally accorded the honor of breaking a National League rec ord by winning the pennant for the fourth successive time, and this seemed assured when the team secured the lead on May 30, and therea-fter lengthened it to such a degree that the lead seemed insurmountable by mid- season. Up to that period the Giants had siiccessfully staved off Pittsburgh, Chicago and St. Louis, who all had penn.int chances at various times, but when. Boston took up the running the Giants steadily weakened. Their failure to Win the fourth su-cceSsive pennant, which was a bitter disappointment to Manager McGraw, was due to the inferior pitching of Demaree and Marquard, the season-long bat ting slump of Doyle, Merkle, Myers and Mur ray, the decline of catcher Myers, and the failure of Milton Stock to fill the place of Shafer, retired, and Herzog, released to Cin cinnati.

THE ST. LOUIS TEAMwas. next to the Boston Braves, the sensa tion of the season. The team came up from sixth place last season, got into the race in

... ..May and thereafter seemed more threutening than Boston, right up to the middle of August. After that period, however, the team grad ually faded away, owing to a prolonged bat ting slump. The teniji had a strong pitching corps, in which Doak and Sallee starred, ably backed by catchers Snyder and Wingo ; a fast infield and a fair outfield; and was ably di rected by Manager Miller Hugging. The re- .juvenation of the team was largely due to a mid-Winter deal With Pittsburgh, in which

: first baseman Miller, shortstop Butler .and outfielders Dolan and Wilson and pitcher, RoB-. inson were secured for first baseman K6- netchy, third baseman Mowrey and pitcher Harmen.

THE CHICAGO TEAMwhich most critics had figured as a-tail-end team, played surprising ball under the man agement of ex-umpire Henry O©Day, and was a pennant-contender until the last Eastern trip of the season, when the team fell down badly. The team had strong pitchers, Vaughn especially excelling; two of the greatest, catcu- ers in the world in Archer and Bresnahah; a hard-hitting infield, froin , which, however, Kvers was sadly missed; and a fair outfield, in which © the veteran, Tommy Leach, starred. The chief causes of the team©s failure to fin ish in the first or second place were season- long weakness at short field, a mid-season accident to Archer, the pronounced failure of pitchers Cheney and Pierce to perform up to form, particularly after mid-season, and the erratic work and conduct of infielder Zitnnier- man. Under these conditions, however, the team did well to finish only one peg lower than ia 1913.

THE BROOKLYN TEAMwith one of the best batting teams in the league, under the lead of Wilbert Robinson, a new, but capable, manager, failed to secure a good start, lingered at or near the tail end most of the season, a,nd only by a bril liant run of victories late in September did it manage to nose the Phillies, out of fifth

lace. Tu« team©s comparative failure may to aion-lenc vwkaia* at ihert

field, the disability of pitcher tlucker, the er ratic work of the entire pitching staff, with the exception of Pfeffer, and numerous acci dents to players, including the fracture of a leg by shortstop O©Mara.

THE PHILADELPHIA TEAM, Which lost Knabe, Doolan, Seaton, Brennafc and Walsh to the federal League, could never strike a Winning combination, and so this hard-hitting team, which, last year finished second, had to be content with a sixth-place finish. The redeeming feature of the team©s work was the catching of Killifer, the pitching of Alexander and Mayer, the Versatility of Sherwood Magee, and hard hitting, the team specializing in home runs. The chief causes of failure were irremediable weakness at short field and second base, and the lack of com petent pitching and substitute material.

THE PITTSBURGH TEAM heretofore always a great factor in the pen nant race, this year was the greatest disap pointment in the race and to its patrons, and dropped from fourth place last year to a sev enth place finish this year the lowest posi tion occupied by a Pittsburgh team in 15 years. To make the disappointment keener, the team had a fine lead in May, then went down like a lump of lead, and at one time seemed doomed to a tail-end finish. The four- cornered deal with St. Louis, which made the Cardinal team, unmade the Pirates, as Ko- netchy failed to bat up to expectation, Mow rey proved a complete failure, and Harmon©s pitching Was far from stellar quality. The chief cause of the team©s downfall was per sistent and apparently irremediable batting weakness.

THE CINCINNATI TEAM Which finished seventh last year, wound up in the Cellar this year not much of a drop, it is true, but nevertheless keenly disappoint ing, because, under Her-zog©s management, the team in early season fan well and _gave prom ise of a good record. The desertion of cut- fielder Marsans and pitchers Johnson and Davenport, and a temporary mutiny by third baseman Niehoff, started the team* on a slide which Manager Herzog, despite his owli bvil- liant playing and many player experiments, could not check. The team was irremediably weak in batting-, the battery Work was er ratic and the fielding mediocre^

THE RACE WAS AFFECTED, as has been the case for several successive years, by bad weather at the Spring train ing camps, which brought many teams to the starting post in poor condition -and this bad weather also marred the early stages of the race, causing many postponements which en tailed an extraordinary number of exhausting double-headers after mid-season. On the whole p;ood ball was -played, deSpiite more, or less demoralization in the ranks, owing to the Federal League incursion -the batting on the whole being better than the pitching. But pitching Won out for Boston and St. Ix>uis; whereas superior batting, minus the pitching, could not win for New York, Chicago, Phila delphia and Brooklyn. During the Season exceptional

TEAM PERFORMANCESwere not lacking. The Boston team won nine consecutive games in August. The Pittsburgh^ made runs of seven and eight consecutive vic tories in April and May; and runs of 10 and 12 consecutive defeats in June and Septem ber.

The Season©s Inter-Club Series During the 1914 Season the new champion

Boston teatn won the series from every team except Brooklyn and New York. The latter tied the Braves~-a remarkable achievement considering that until the third stage of the race the series seemed lost for Boston; While Brooklyn was the one team that seemed to be able to conquer the Braves. The Uiants won all of their series except the tied one with Boston, and lost to St. Louis, which was the Giants© nemesis. St. Louis Won all of its series except With Boston and Pittsburgh, these two teams blasting the Cardinals© pen nant hopes. Chicago won the series from Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cin cinnati; and lost the St. Louis, New York and Boston series-^ the last-named by a wide margin. Brooklyn lost the series with Bos ton, Chicago and Pittsburgh, tied with Cin> cinnat* and Philadelphia, and won from the champion Bostons by comfortable margin. The Phillies won only the series from Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, tied with Brooklyn, and lost to Chicago, New York, Boston and St. Louis the last-named being Philadelphia©s toughest opponent. The hapless Pittsburgh team won from Cincinnati and St. Louis singularly finding the Cardinals their easiest victims and lost all of the remaining series. The Cin cinnati Reds failed to Win a series, their best achievement being a tie with Brooklyn. These exchanges in their bearing upon the pennant race show that Boston was strong against all teams but Brooklyn; that New York Was weakest against Boston and St. Louis; that St. Louis© pennant chances Were destroyed by Brooklyn and Pittsburgh; that Chicago Was unable to make a Winning stand against St. Louis, New York and Boston; that Brooklyn Was only strong against Pittsburgh and Bos ton; that Philadelphia found no one team easy; that Pittsburgh could only cope suc cessfully with St. Louis and Cincinnati; and that Cincinnati was uniformly weak against all teams except Brooklyn.

The Intersectional SeriesDuring the National League campaign of

1914 the Eastern teams made three trips to the West, the result of which was a total of 91 victories for the West and 79 victories for the East; as against last year©s record of 77 Victories for the West and 94 victories for the East. Following is the record of the three Combined Eastern visits to the West:

On the entire 1914 season in the games be tween the Eastern and Western teams the Eastern teams scored 195 victories and the Western teams won 155 victories; as against 194 victories for the East and 151 victories for the West in 1913.

The above shows conclusively that the bal ance of strength between the two sections was somewhat in favor of the East, thanks wholly to the vast improvement shown by the Boston team, which partly owed pennant capture to its successes against the Western teams. Of the other Eastern teams New York showed the greatest comparative decadence, but Phila delphia and Brooklyn also fell off markedly. The Western showing was wholly due to the improvement of the St. Louis team, as Cincinnati manifested almost precisely the same ratio agninst the East, while Chicago and Pittsburgh fell off badly. On the whole, there was but little difference between the sections, each furnishing two pennant-contenders, the quartet sharing the first division betweenthem. IP _^ii^_^.

The Season©s Record Day by DayThe wonderful spurt of the Boston Club, the breakdown of the Giants, and the Pitts-

burghs© erratic play made the National League race one of the greatest in the history of the organization. Pittsburgh took the lead one week after the season opened and whirled off victories at such a rapid rate that they seemed sure pennant-winners, but the team went completely to pieces suddenly and the Giants overhauled Clarke©s team on May 30. New York then started to draw away from the field and piled up a large lead, apparently having the pennant at its mercy by July 4. The breakdown of the Giants© pitching staff and general indifferent play gave Chicago and St. Louis a chance to close the gap considerably when the Boston Club started its sensational climb. On July 20, Bos ton moved out of last place into sixth, passing Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. On July 21, they moved into fourth place, passing Philadelphia and Cincinnati. August 10, Stallings© team leaped into second place, but went back to third on the following day, with the Giants still six games ahead. Boston entered second place again on August 12, and started its great uphill fight against New York. On August 27 and 28, St. Louis© occupied second place, but the Braves were not to be denied and overhauled New York on September 2. New York regained the lead on September 3 and held it, with the exception of three days, when it was tied with Boston, until September 8, when Boston went ahead, never to be over hauled. Pittsburgh gradually sank into last place after its sensational start, but Cin- cincinnati©s 19 straight defeats finally sent Hevzog©s team to the bottom of the ladder on September 9, and the Reds stayed there until the finish. St. Louis put up a game fight for second place, but New York managed to finish a slight margin ahead. Philadelphia and Brooklyn were never in the hunt and contented themselves with a battle for fifth, place, Chicago being securely lodged in fourth. Brooklyn finally nosed the Phillies out. The daily record follows:

UTILITY PLAYER WHITTED George B. Whitted, the clever utility player of the

Boston National League Club, was born In Durham, N. C., on February 24©, 1891, and started his pro fessional career with the Wadesboro independent club

© In 1910. In June of the same year he joined Savan nah, of the South Atlantic league, as an outflelder, but was released to Jacksonville, of the same league, a few weeks later and played the balance of the sea son at first base for the latter team. Whitted re mained with Jacksonville until the Fall of 1912, when

. he was purchased by the St. Louis National League Club as a third baseman. Whitted remained with the Cardinals, doing utility duty, until July, of the present year, when he was traded to Boston along

. with Cather, for Hub Perdue. Whitted has done ex cellent work for the Braves as an inflelder and out flelder in the absense of regulars. He stands five feet

nine inches in height, weighs 170 pounds, and bats and throws right-handed.

UTILITY PLAYER DEALCharles A. Deal, utility inflelder, was born in Wil-

kinsburg, Pa., on October 30, 1891, and played his first professional ball with the Jackson ©Club, of the South Michigan League. In© the Fall of 1912, Deal was drafted by the Providence Club, of the Interna tional League, where his work in 1913 was of such high class that he was purchased in June by the Detroit Club, of the American League. Manager Jen- nings figured he was still too inexperienced and sent him back to Providence in the middle of August. Manager Stallings, however, believed that Deal was due to develop into a star and purchased him in an other month and he has been a valued member of the Braves since, although handicapped by injuries. He stands five feet 11 inches in height, weighs 165 pounds, and bats and throws right-handed.

TOURING REDLANDERSForgetting the Troubles of Cincinnati and

Herzog and Enjoying the World©s Series The Red Chief©s Home Guard of Red- bugs.

BY RUN MULFORD, JR.PHILADELPHIA, Pa., October 10. Editor "Sport

ing Life." Redbugs are delightful souls. Old Man Grump is the exception rather than the rule. They forgive and forget. The disastrous campaign of 1914 is a closed Incident. Cincinnati began it by waxing the Cubs in the rain to the delight of a magnificent! outpouring of drenched fans and they closed it by ai victory over Fred Clarke©s oft-licked1 Pirates. Be tween and betwixt these two conquests there Were crowded a whole lot of beatings. The spirit of the Redbugs reminds me of the constituents of that In diana celebrity, William H. H. Miller, who was called: to the post of Attorney-General by President Harri- son. Mr. Miller had occasion to visit his old home and as was natural he felt a little elated to carry his honors among his old friends and neighbors. Ha also had a curiosity to know how the old contingent felt about It and he went fishing for an opinion. "What do folks think, Bill," he asked of an old: crony, "now that I am Attorney-General of the United States?" and Bill, who was frankness personi fied, answered with an old-fashioned drawl: "Oh. they just laugh and laugh and laugh!" And the Redbugs when you talk of the Cincies and the reoent fiasco, just laugh, and laugh and laugh. They ara willing to pull down the blinds on 1914 and forget it. And you can©t blame ©em. There are not many jewels to look up in the treasure chest of Memory.

REDBUGS AT THE "BIG SHOW" Meanwhile one contingent of Redlanders are not per mitting the ghosts of the Disappointments that played tag with the Reds to interfere with their enjoyment of the Big Show. Although Cincinnati put a never- to-be-broken record of a year of continuous con quests in base ball©s early history and really provided! the curtain-raiser for the first of the World©s Series, none of the Redbuss of today have ever tasted thai sweets of championship honors. All we Buckeyes can do is sit on the edge of things and look over. Garry Herrrnann headed the usual crowd of faithful who we-re booked to see the big battles at Philadelphiai and Boston. Some of them have not missed on of these world©s struggles for years. Official members of the party were Secretary John E. Brace, of the Na tional Commission, and A. J. Flanner, assistant secre tary. Others were two Red Club directors Thomas J. Cogan and Tom Logan; Councilman Mike Mullen. Walter Phillips, Charles J. Christie, Ira Straus, P. J. McCarthy, Louis Weik, L. C. Widris, E. M. Marks, Sam Berman, John Mullen and W.. T. Williams. One Columbus fan George Gugee completed the party which traveled by special car. Judge Sam Smith and Louis Marx joined the crowd in Philadelphia.

PEEKING INTO THE FUTURE Charley Herzog has gone to his Maryland home, but before he started he talked like a man who will ba back on the job. "Herzie" is firm in the belief that ihe has the nucleus of a good pitching staff. Leon. Ames he counts as one of the great slabmen of the game. Reub Benton he believes will be better after a Winter of rest and he ought to be if he nurses his health and stays clamped to the water wagon. WiUi » little more control Phil Doujlaas outfit to

be a wonder, but can. Phil acquire UJ It is up to the big fellow to conquer his weakness. It was the late lamented Charley Hoyt playwright and fan who in "A Texas Steer," commenting on the lack of water and good society the only elements required to make a Lone Star town a paradise emitted the historic, line: "That©s all Hell needs." And many a twirler, like Phil, would be a great star had they control. It is control that has made Christy Mathew- aon outlast a regiment. A year on the bench has been an education for King Lear, and the way the x-Princetonian polished Boston and stopped a Red rout that had all the earmarks of a new record furnishes one cheerful thought in retrospect. Herzog believes Lear ought to "cop" at least thirty of his games in 1915. The results of Paul Fittery©g Worb do not show strong in wins, but. Herzog thinks Fit- tety has a curve ball which will make him another Mat Kilroy one of th« greatest strike-out pitchers that ever faced hostile batsmen. That brings the study up to Pete Schneider and Herzog banks on the improvement of Pete the natural result of a year©s campaign setting the rough edges polished off. Earl Tingling? He©s a problem.

THE DISSECTION OF "HERZIE" Way back last Spring when the Reds were "going good" somebody spread the story in Cincy that John J. McGraw had made the prophecy: "Herzog a man ager? Why, he©ll take the Reds to the cellar and keep them there!" Whether this is true or not I©m in. no position to say. The story had a big Cin cinnati circulation. The prophecy had a tardy fulfil ment, but "in the cellar" is where the Reds did flrdah Cincinnati likes Charley Herzog but during the long months sf Winter reflection there is one thing he can put into his© pipe of peace and smoke. Cincinnati is flilled with Redbugs who are fearful that one of the handicaps of the Red team a barrier to championship honors is the temper of the manager. It certainly destroys the confidence of the team to have the manager on the bench suffering eviction for defiance of the rules of discipline. With all hope gone, without chance for a finish a notch higher uip. Manager Herzog put himself in line of judicial fire and was shot out of the last gaxna of the season. Kicking oneself to the bench doesn©t pay and never did, and while in training for the race of 1915 it will do no harm, to fila (he edge off temper. Thia te one needed improvement. Another is the establish ment of a School of Bunting. Most of the Reds a-ro as graceful in "laying ©em down" as an elephanl doing the one-step to the music of a hand organ.

THAT HONOLULU INVASIONFrank Bancroft was Itft alone "on guard" at the Bed dub office, humming "My Honolulu Babe," and be gathered up the preliminary odds and ends pre paratory to the trip to the Pacific Coast and Hawaii with his National Stars and Connie Mack©s American Stars. Banny put $2,800 in the bank this week, the fully paid-up share of $200 each for the thirteen who will make the trip. Enough guarantees rain or «hine are in sight to insure the success of the tour. Just two Reds are lucky dogs who will make the trip Heinifi Groh and Tottu Cla-rk and they were the only Reds who drew a point from the newspaper members of the "Chalmers Electoral College." An ex-Red, Dick Hoblitzel, will be on Connie Mack©s staff. The Old War Horse is a regular nomad. He enjoys ©being on the go and is looking forward to the expedition with all the enthusisasm of a youngster who has just been invited to make his first trip on a railroad train. When Ponce de Loon was searching for the Fountain of Youth he was handicapped. He didn©t meet Frank Bancroft. "Banny" has the secret of perennial youth.

McGraw©s Men Deprived of World©s Series Chance Take Revenge on New Yorks Crowds Disappointing.

BY HARRY DIX COLE NEW YORK, N. Y., October 12. Editor "Sporting

Life." It surely begins to look as if New York fan! are suffering from "too much of a good thing." Having torn off three eonsecutive championships, the Giants are roundly panned for doing no better than second on their fourth attempt. The city series has thus far drawn a total of 24,318 spectators for three games, about the same number as saw one of the recent Giants-Braves contests. Just as soon as Matty accomplished his little task of taming the "Pecks," he jumped on a train for Philadelphia and next day rubbed shoulders with Ty Cobb, reporting just what

HAPPENED TO THE ATHLETICS. Jeff Tesreau attempted to do the same stunt, but un fortunately, after pitching in a beautiful game for eight innings, suddenly commenced1 hurling the base ball in the direction of Philadelphia instead of the Plate, with the perfectly natural result that the New Yorka tied up proceedings right then and there, win ning out by a score of 2 to 1. Keating was Matty©s victim, the game going 10 innings, and the final count being 6 to 5. "Hops" Warhop tamed th* ©bear- strangler, and says that if he had his Way he©d pitch In a league composed only of his team, Detroit and tha Giants.

RAY FISHER HAD GOOD INTENTIONS In Saturday©s game, but Doo Cook, MJke Donlin and Al Demaree thought differently and consequently the game went the way of the first contest, by the same number of runs and in the same number of innings. Demaree relieved Marquard after Donlin, batting for the southpaw, had laced out a noisy triple, and held the Farrellites safe during the two innings he was In charge. He also cracked out a single in the tenth Inning and when Cook let it roll to the fence, the Cartoonist circled the bases. Since Tesreau handed the New Yorks one game and Cook handed the Giants another, honors are even in this respect. The bloody warfare continues this week.

One League Veteran Believed to Have Gone to the Feds The Barnstormers Strike Fine Luck.

BY A. R. ORATTYPITTSBURGH, Pa,, October 2. Editor "Sporting

life." Men close to inside dealings in the Pifeds are no longer putting secrecy around a rumor that a Pirate big gun will be with them next race. "Koney is for IS 15." This assertion was delivered to the writer today by a base ball follower who should know1 and the undersigned believes that he does. Then the Fed individual followed liis remark by informing the writer "that the matter was in such shape that there was no danger of a slip-up." With the yarn backed 1W> by further developments the "Sporting Life" repre sentative visited the Pittsburgh National headquar- ters. Barney Dreyfuss gave vent to no feeling whatever when the fairly well substantiated story of

KONEY©S DESERTION WAS BROACHED to him. Dreyfuss wouldn©t go into a discussion of the rumor. As intimated not long since the Pitts burgh Club believes the Bohemian to be a fine first base-man one of the best targets to throw to that ever invaded Forbes Field. White they would hate to see him leave there is a limit to all things. If it, was necessary for the Pittsburgh Club to enter" into

. competition with tha independents for BMdiS©s ser-

Tiees then want effort on ths part of thft organized outfit would be manifested. It©s evident that this policy has been pursued and that the Si Louis per former has been lost to the Buccos. Pittsburgh©s disposition to display no uneasiness over the possible escape of the tall defender can be attributed to the fact that John Henry Wagner has another year or two left in him. In an emergency J. H. W. can be assigned to first base. Therefore it©s no wonder that the

HOME CLUB ISN©T WORRYING over the well-defined rumor that it is destined to lose Edward Konetchy before the blue birds warble, their Spring carols. The matter of short field is ye1 in abeyance. Scorer©s box boys were much taken wit! Gerber©s doings in the final days but they won©t pre dict that he will be the regular for 1915. Patrons look for trades during the Winter that will change the complexion of the Pirates in numerous instances. They say that left field will have a new face. The rooters forget that if the management decides to swap Carey they may find the task a tough one because o! the time pact at big figures which the fleet-footec fellow "blg-sticked" out of the Pittsburgh Club last Spring. On the strength of Macxey©s 191* work not so many clubs would be willing to assume the wa,r-tim« contract. From the

FREQUENT FLAYINGS HANDED CAREY chances are that the young man had numerous heafl burnings throughout the race. Perhaps he may yearn for a change of pasture regardless of his salary. Kins Base Ball pushed the European strife from the poal of honor or local bulletin boards. This Was a strik ing feature of the initial three games between the Braves and the Athletics looked at from Steel City field glasses. Opttiing day of the diamond fray the old world horror had the call on every newspaper flashboard. When the Bostoha clinched the game

.scarcely anything more than the result was pasted. Next day, however, came Deal©s double, a thunder dap from a clear sky. Being a local youth, the ex ploit was Worth, mere than ordinary publicity. TW; timely swat hit Col. Mars right between the eyes. He fell bacfcwairds. Presently blue printed letterings telling of Antwerp©s subjugation were

COVERED WITH INTELLIGENCE many rflore times delightful to Americans namely, full box score illustrating in a nutshell just how Ewers and his bunch had put a second cleaner on tha American League©s best corps. Col Dreyfuss was one joyous individual over Boston©s victories. Barney©s memory went back to this time last autumn when National League renown received an awful goak. Mitohell was blarrable for the Corsairs© inability to sustain the old union©s banner. History will never permit Mike to forget it "Let me see" commente-d Dreyfuss. "Last year we lost to Cleveland." Getting back to Pittsburgh©s h«ro in the World©s Series, Charley Deal, Pirates aver, is a classy fielder, but until he alters his position at the bat, will never achieve success as a slugger. He crouches 16W and benda forward. Watching the games by wire on Sat urday the writer heard a base ball man ejaculate: "Wonders never cease. This Boston crew has more genuine tacky tossers than any outfit In the big shows. Pour men that I know of are liable to steal third bag when, it is occupied." Just th« same, they are winners no matter how they are fitted mentally. Players of the Waddell type may ball up the game now and then but they like to Win and this is more than can be said a-bout sundry gents rated A-l in the scale of mentality.

A PLEASING TRIP Something odd about fan fancy. Here are the Pirates ganavantlng over the Tri-State zone and drawing as good, if not better, crowds in exhibition games than when they were pennant chasers. Winding up so low as the Corsairs did some of the boys imagined an after-season jaunt would be a frost. An agreeable surprise awaited them. They have been going hand somely, scooping in loose change that means a dandy split when the tour is over. Grand weather has thus far marked the trip. Sa.m McWatters, boss canvas- man, writing headquarters, says that the initial game in Pomeroy, O., drew 2106 people. That©s surely going some for a season that was rough on the minors. The trip will no doubt be classed among the bast ever taken bf ft Pirate crew. Each man is liable to get $300.

CARDINALS© FATAL DEFECTThe Failure of Infielder Butler to Fill

Shortstop Hauser©s Shoes Cost Miller Huggins© Team the Pennant.

8T SID O. KEENERST. LOiTJIS, Mo., October 11 Editor of "Sporting

Life." Without a shorts t.op--th at is a Bobby Wal lace, a. Hans Wagner, a Joe Tinker, a Jack Barry, a Freddie Parent, a Donie Bush, or a player of that caliber, no manager ever won a pennant. And the 19H Cardinals have lost this National League pen nant because Arthur Butler failed to fill the position for Miller Huggins. A competent shortstop since the first game in April, and the Cardinals today would be so far in front that reservations would be being made now for one-half of the World©s Series in©St. Louis. Butler disappointed, and then Leader Huggins had but one combination to try first baseman Jack Miller over at short. At times Jack has fielded bril liantly; still, during Butler©9 reign as shortstopper, and even Miller©s, too, the Cardinals have tossed away at least a dozen, maybe more, games that would have been won with a Wallace, a Wagner or a Tinker at the position.

FIGURING ON N0XT YEAR Now Miller Huggins is figuring on the 1615 season.

He knows the one position that lie must strengthen if he is to become a pennant contender; he knows that he cannot start out again with Butlet or Miller. His entry Will be Rolla H. Darringer. And Rolla H.© Dar ringer is, in the opinion of Scouts Bob Connery and Eddie Herr, the choicest shorts<topper in tha entire minor league field. In the middle of this season Hug ging discovered that Butler Was not capable of hold ing the job. He instructed Connery and Herr to travel from the East Coast to the West Coast, from Canada to the Gulf. And these scouts made the com plete swing. Their result Darringer, from tile Peoria I. I. I. League Club. No* for a little information concerning Darringer. In build he©s almost a repro duction of Arnold Hauser, his predecessor. In actions too, Darringer rCBerhbles Arnold, and here©9 another peculiar angle Rolla succeeded Hauser as shortstop on the Dubuque, Ia., Club, after Arnold was sold to the Cardinals. He tvas bom at North Verhon, Ind , November 15, 1889, throws right-handed, of course, but swings from the other side.

SUCCEEDS HAUSER AGAINDarringer©a first, experience as a league toSser was

in 1912, with Sagiilaw, Mich. He played Only a few games, and, With Dubuque in need of an infielder, Rolla was bought by Clarence Rowland to fill Haus- er©s shoes. He succeeded and remained with Dubuque for two seasons, leaving at the end of Iflls, when Magnate Rowland shifted his franchise to Peoria in the I. I. I. circuit. Husgins ie exceptionally sweet on Ills youngster and coaches him daily during the Car dinals© fielding practice. What attracted Huggins© at tention Was tile mariner in which the recruit comes in for a ball on the short hop. "You©ll never see a shortstopper a success unless he comes in fast and picks up the ball on the run," was Huggins© corh- nlent. "And that©s just Why I fancy Darringer. That©s why Ha©uaer was mien a wonder Arnold played the ball not allowing th4 ball to play hist, and an ia-

CAN WIN FLAG NEST YEAB Success or failure for this Darringer lad cannot b»

penned at this date. He will get his chance next Spring; he will be given every opportunity to make good, and if he does if, he©s another Wallace, Wag ner, or Tinker he will prove of much value to the Cardinals. Hugging today is studying his 1915 pros pects, and he appreciates that he needs a shortstop above everything else. However, in picking his fleld he has to be careful. There are many shortstops in the minor leagues, but where is there one who will strengthen the Cardinals?

THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE offers Jack Roach, Tommy McMillan, Jack Tooley and others who have failed in the big league; the American Association has Dave Altizer; Beumiller, Wortman; and the Pacific Coast League has Phil Cooney, Roy Corhan, Chappy Charles, while there isn©t a prospect down in the Southern League. In other words, not one Class AA club has a shortstop who could step in and aid the Cardinals. So Hug ging has to discover a youngster and develop him. Maybe Rolla H. Darringer ia the one.

MANAGERIAL HEADSLikely to Fall Into the Basket During the

\Piater in the Two Old Major Leagues, According to a Western Authority.

BY HUGH S. PULLfitRTONCHICAGO, Ills., October 12. Frank Chance retires

from base ball with a unique record. He quit rather than take money for another year that he believed under the conditions he could not earn. He was right. The New York Club, if it persists in trying to vHn with cheap minor league players rather than spend money for good, experienced men, could get quite as good results from a $3000 manager as from a $25,000 one. Chance©s departure marks the beginning of the managerial changes. Five, perhaps eix, of the major league cluba will drop the old pilots and take on new 6ne8 next season. Jack Dunn probably will succeed Chance. He is an old-time player, and a hot-headed impetuous leader. His appointment would be sonie- thing of a reward for losses he has suffered in the minors.

THS OTHER CHANGEthat is probable in th« American League is with the Chicago White Sbx. Jimmy Callahan probably will he succeeded by Kid Gleason as manager. TW9 will be in the nature of a promotion, for Callahan, who, according to rumor, is to remain with the White Sox as©President Comiskey©s health ia hot good, and tha nervous strain of base ball lias prevented his complete recovery ffom the serious illness that attacked him during the tour of the world. Commy is well only when he escapes from the cares of the club and gets into the Wisconsin woods. He wants to retire en tirely and turn the burden of the te©am over to Cal lahan and to act only as an advisor. Gleason is ex tremely popular in Chicago© with the fans aa well as with the players and he ought to make a great leader. Charley Dooin is done at Philadelphia. The club has failed to notify him of its intentions and he has been flirting with the Feds. Dooin hag failed. This is small reflection upon him, a9 no man could have brought harmony in that club. The neV manager, whoever he is, faces a desperate task and a house- cleaning. Hank O©Day is through at Chicago. This is authoritative. It has been arranged by National League leaders to

CLEAN THE CHICAGO STABLES entirely. There is talk of Jack Hendricks, but be fore that came up I was informed as to O©Day©s suc cessor and Hendricks tt©as not the man. Of course, if MoGill succeeds ill buying Taft©s stock Heridricks may get the job. There is a persistent rumor that Fred Clarke is going to retire from base ball. He has not announced it and it. is probable he. could stay with Pittsburgh as long us he wanted to stay. He was ready to retire five years ago, but was persuaded to keep on. Clarke is rich and prefers his family and his ranch to base ball. He ©would not quit Drey- fuss if Dreyfuss needed him, but he has been so long in the harness that it is galling him and there may be more than rumor behind the story of his retirement.

If the late season form of King Leaf, of the Reds, is an indication of what he©s going to do next season, he will be considerable pitcher.

President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn Club, last week signed H. H. Jlyers, an outflelder, to a two-year contract, covering tile seasons Of 1915 and 1916.

Harry Smith, the Giants© young catcher, who was purchased itotn the Savannah Club, looks like & find.

He Is a finely-built fellow, who seems to possess natural skill behind the bat. He throws well, hits well and is fast on the bases.

Last week the Brooklyn Club signed southpaw pitcher Aitchison and third baseman Getz to 1915-16 contracts.

The linup of the Reds for their annual barnstorming trip will be: Ames, Yingling and Benton., pitchers; Clarke, catcher; Graham, first base; Kellogg, second base; Niehoff, third base; Bergliammer, shortstop; Daniels, left fleld; Miller, centre field, and one of the pitchers in right field.

"How much longer," queries an exchange, "will Matty last,?" Matty is now 34 years old. Ed PlanS is pitching great ball and Ed is 39. Cy Young was pitching fine ball at 40 and stuck in the big show till he was 44. So it is safe tp say that Matty has flva good years still left in his right shoulder, aided and abetted by the dome of wisdom that reals beneath his cap.

The reason that more umpires are not as good as Bill Klem is that they do not watch the balls or tha plate as closely as Klem. The National League©s star looks over the catcher©s shoulder and gets a full view of the plate, while nearly all of tke other arbiters look over the catcher©s head. They can©t get as good a view of the plate as Klem and can©t um pire as well.

George Joseph Burns, the Giants© outfielder, appear ed at the Marriage License Bureau in the Municipal Building in New York City on October 6, accompanied, by Miss May Katherine Baker, of 22 Bast Tenth, street, and obtained from City Clerk Scully a license to wed. Ho and Miss Baker were married in the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Seventy-first street arid Broadway.

Tills Is Hans Wagner©s eighteenth year in the Na tional League, and it will be the first that he has failed to hit .300 or over. The Flying Dutchman is ©batting only around .254, and lias practically no chance to reach the mark which he has always been hovering around until this year. At that, the old boy 19 still a wonderful player and a great credit to tha game in every way.

In the latter part of the season pitcher Leon Ames, of the Reds, fceemed to have lost the effective slow ball which he developed early in the season. Formerly a fast curve-ball pitcher, he acquired a fine Mow chuck, which he mixed into his deliveries with much skill and continual success. Of late, the slow ball lias been the prey of all the batters. It straggles in just where the# slay it, and they draw back and swing with perfect aim.

Manager Huggins, of the Cardinals, has given Jack Miller permission to go to the Pacific Coast this Fall with Bancroft©s All-Stare, and he will play first base for them on the trip. This completes the team, which, will be quite a strong aggregation and capable of put ting up some healthy battles against tho Athletics. Miller is capaWe of playing any infield position, and so can be used to advantage in case of accident to any of the regular infleldera.

Fred Clarke, one of the most famous managers of history1, has become disgusted with a losing team and has offered to resign, according to reports from Pitts burgh. It is said he told Dreyfuss the team might do better under different management. This is tha first year in fifteen that Clarke has not figured promi nently in the race. Clarke©s managerial star began to set about the time he found it incumbent to desert the playing end of the game.

During the New York-Boston game of October 1, Umpire Klein took exception to what he regarded as unusually loud talk on the New York bench. He Or dered the players to lower their voices. Deciding presently that he had not been obeyed, Klem directed that the bench be cleared of everybody eiXcept Acting Manager Mike Donlin and the bat boy. Chrtstr Matliewson headed the banished players, and they marched single file, hands on one another©s shoulders like convict^,, across the field to the club house.

The National Commission has received a protest from President William Pfau, of the Perth Araboy Club, of the Atlantic League, because the Cincinnati Reds failed to appear for an exhibition game arranged for Sunday, September 27. The contest hag been Widely advertised, with the result that one of the biggest gatherings of the season turned out. The manage ment of the Reds informed the local club of the can cellation late Sunday afternoon. President Pfau asks the National Commission to compel the Cincinnati Club to reimburse it for the loss caused by the can cellation.

The Cub team, is threatened with disruption Zim- merman is the cause, the players that is, several of therfl have declared themselves, saying if he does not brace up and play ball the way he should they will refuse to play with him. It is contended he is a detriment to the team rather than an asset because of the listless way in which he plays. He refuses to run out balls batted to the infielders, trifles con tinually at hia position and is constantly wrangling with some of the other player©s. He does everything contrary to the rules of the game, it is contended, does as he pleas* hiost of the time and then tries ia shift the Blame wn*a he does not

THE COMPLETE 1914 RECORDThe Athletic Team, the J9J3 Champions

of the World, Retain League Champion ship Laurels in a Race in Which They Were Rarely Pushed.

By the Editor of "Sporting Life"The fourteenth annual championship race

of the American League since the expansion of that great organization to major league status began April 14 and ended October 7, with the Athletics as the champion team for the second consecutive time. The champion ship thus remains with the club which had previously won five pennants in this league and had to its credit three World©s Cham pionships in four trials. Incidentally the pen nant also remains in the city which, next to Chicago and Boston, has been most conspicu ous in and loyal to professional base ball from the inception of the sport to the present day, and has been continuously represented in Organized Ball since 1882.

THE ATHLETIC TEAMwas expected to win the pennant with com parative ease, owing to its admitted all-round superiority which made it stand out as the best team in all respects . in the arena. It fulfilled expectations in all ways, as it led in the race from June 8 to the finish, and was never in danger except for a week in September, when Boston pressed the cham pions hard, but briefly. The team won out despite the seeming handicap of having only two veteran pitchers, Bender and Plank, to rely upon, as Coombs, after his long illness in 1913, was not called upon in the 191^ race except for a few innings, late in the season after the pennant was clinched. Last year, by a system of starting the young pitchers Bush, Houck, Wyckoff, Brown and later Shaw- key in game after game and finishing with the two veterans, Manager Mack stood off the disability and accomplished marvelous results with a supposedly weak pitching corps. But this year Bender and Plank pitched even more effectively and successfully than last year, while S)hawkey and Wyckoff became regulars and two capable southpaw pitchers in Bress- ler and Pennock were developed. The great team was thus supplied with first class pitch ing, backed up by such splendid catching by Schang and Lapp that Ira Thomas could de vote his entire time to coaching the pitchers and captaining the team from the bench. In addition to splendid battery work, the chief factors in the team©s success were brilliant fielding, grand batting, particularly by the unequaled infield; and the usual finished team work of this remarkable aggregation. Harry Davis rendered valuable assistance as coa-ch, and assistant to that "master mind of base ball," Manager Connie Mack.

THE BOSTON TEAMwas the only team to give the Athletics any kind of a contest, and in the latter stages of the race stood out from all other teams except the Athletics, whom, however, it played to a standstill," winning the season series. By its finish in second place, the Boston team gained two pegs on 1913, thus crowning the admin istration of Manager Carrigan with success. The team started poorly, being apparently weak at every infield position except third base, but these positions were strengthened by the purchase of first baseman Hoblitzel, and the development of Janvrin at second base and Everett Scott at short field. The pitching department was also strengthened by the, acquisition of pitchers Shore and Ruth from Baltimore; and thereafter the Boston team was the greatest factor in the race next to the Athletics. Of the pitchers, Shore and Foster ably supplemented the work of the veteran pitchers, while the batting of Speaker and Hoblitzel stood out in the general work of the team.

THE WASHINGTON TEAM failed to improve on its 1913 record and had to be again content with third place, which position was not made secure until the closing series of the season. The ©team was handi capped by a poor start owing to lack of con dition of several pitchers, accidents to Foster, Milan and Henry, the illness of pitcher Boeh- ling, and worst of all the singular inef fectiveness of the great Walter Johnson in the first half of the season, that great pitcher inexplicably suffering his poorest season years. The team also failed to bat up to expectations, Gandil, especially, batting be low form; showed decrease in speed over the preceding season; and lacked strength in the outfield, owing largely to accidents to Milan and Moeller.

THE DETROIT TEAM made an appreciable advance by finishing fourth as against sixth in 1913. The tearr made a brilliant start, led for a time, and even after it was supplanted by the Athletics, it seemed destined to make the running with the champions to the wire. But the team slumped in mid-season simultaneously with the tatting decline of infielders Burns and Kava naugh, whose remarkable early season work together with the effective pitching of Cova leskie and Dauss were the chief factors in tbe team©s rise ia the seal* ot importance

Cobb was out of the game twice for long periods, once with a broken rib and again with a broken thumb; but that did not affect results, as the team Was winning then and did not regain its grip when he rejoined it. An accident to Moriarty first started the team on the slide and this was accelerated by the simultaneous slump of Burns and Kavanaugh and the pitching staff, with the exception of Dauss and Covaleskie.

THE ST. LOUIS TEAMunder the management of Branch Rickey, proved the surprise of the season. The team from the start played aggressive ball, grad ually fought its way to the first division, and was a championship possibility for a time. After mid-season, however, batting weakness compelled gradual recession until the team al most reached its former low level. A strong spurt in September, however, brought the team, to the top of the second division, where it finished a most creditable feat for the tail- enders of 1913. The chief factor in the team©s success was the superior catching of Agnew, the effective pitching of Weilman, 3amilton, Baumgardner and Mitchell, the su- >erior batting of Clarence WT alker and Derrill Pratt; but above all, the inspiration of Man ager Rickey©s personality and methqds.

THE NEW YORK TEAM realized Frank Chance©s ambition of finishing

peg higher than in 1913-^-if a tie with Chicago for sixth place may be call ed an advance but not under his man agement, as he resigned in disgust on September 15, and the team ,finished the sea-

and made its little climb under the man agement of shortstop Peckinpaugh. Such success as the team achieved in 1914 was due

o the acquisition of new players such as irst baseman Mullen, second baseman Boone, and outfielder Cree, and the development of outfielder Cook. In respect of pitching strength the team was the equal of any team n the league, but this advantage was neutral- zed by seasoning batting weakness, which

was only briefly relieved by the acquisition of Iree from Baltimore in mid-season.

THE CHICAGO TEAMwas perhaps the second greatest disappoint ment of the season, as it finished tied with New York for sixth place virtually two pegs lower than last year after appre- iable strengthening, which made it a great

factor in the first half of the season. The de cadence appeared to set in with the desertion of first baseman Chase to the Federal League, though Fournier proved an acceptable substi tute. The team was at various times handi capped by accidents, but the chief cause of \he team©s recession after mid-season was the virtual collapse of a pitching staff which had been regarded as probably the best in the eague. Walsh failed to "come back," Rus

sell was below last season©s form, while Benz, Scott and Cicotte also slumped in the last half of the season.

THE CLEVELAND TEAM was in all respects the greatest failure of the season. The place team of 1913 was left at the post, fell mt(6 the last ditch right at the start, was a hopeless tail-ender after the first month of the season, and finished with the poorest record ever made by a Cleveland team in this league. The initial causes of failure were lack of condition and accidents to vari ous players. The loss of pitcher Fulkenberg, who jumper to the Federal League, was felt from the start. Of the veteran pitchers, Bland- ing, Collamore, Kahler and Gregg were fail ures and only Willie Mitehell and S©tcen per formed up to form. Pronounced batting de cline all along the line, excepting only Joe Jackson, coincident with the virtual collapse of the pitching staff, © made the team©s case hopeless after the first few weeks of the sea-

SOME TEAM RECORDS Under the conditions of such an uneven

race, in which the pennant was from the start conceded to©; the Athletics, steadily brilliant ball could not be expected; nevertheless there were enough, exceptional incidents to stimu late and sustain public attention and interest. Team and individual- feats were plentiful, al though no records were:broken or even equal ed. Team features were as follows: Triple plays were rnade by Washington ^against the Athletics twree, by New York against Wash ington, by Cleveland against St. Louis, and Athletics against Detroit; an . extraordinary number for one, season. The longest game of the season were: Boston-Detroit, 3-2, in 16 innings; and Chicago-Washington, 5-4, in 15 innings. The Athletics won 12 straight games in July, and from July 11 to September 1, won 39 of 45 games played. In the Wash ington-Athletics double-header of September 8, the Washingtons made six double plays, and the Athletics three nine in all. A rare event was the forfeiture of a game by Washington to the Athletics on June 26. In the matter of

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES the season was prolific.© Pitcher Benz, of Chi cago, pitched a no-hit game against Cleveland on May 31; and pitcher Scott, of Chicago, was defeated by Washington, 1-0, allowing no hits in nine innings and only two hits in ten innings. Pitcher Foster, of Boston, was not scored on in 42 consecutive innings; and Covaleskie, of Detroit, achieved 32% score less innings consecutively. Pitcher Wood struck out 14 St. Louis batsmen; Mitchell, of Cleveland, struck out 13 <Aii4etics; and pitch er Walter Johnson, in a 13-innings game, struck out 13 men, ten of them in nine in nings. Pitcher Bender, of the Athletics, pitched 14 consecutive victories the season record. Lajoie made his aoOOth hit on Sep tember 27, and played no more thereafter. First baseman Hoblitzel, of Boston, against Cleveland, on July 27, had only two putouts and no assists in a nine-inning game. Left fielder Shanks, of Washington, against De troit, on July 31, had ten putouts. During the season, catcher Ainsmith, and outfielder Cobb sustained bone fractures and two severe collisions occurred, namely, between shortstop Weaver and outfielder De&uniU, of Chicago,

and outfielders Milan and Moeller, of W*ash© ington. Following is the complete season record:

The Season©s Inter-Club SeriesAnalysis of the inter-club series of the 1914

season sheds some light upon the causes of team successes and failures. The champion Athletics won the series with all of their competitors except Boston. The Red Sox just managed to win the series from the cham pions, while the latter captured all of the remaining series, except with Detroit, by large margins. The Boston team lost no series, but was tied by Washington and New York. The Washington team lost to Athletics and Chi cago, tied with Cleveland and Boston, and wOn the remaining series. Detroit won from Cleveland, Chicago and New York, and lost the remainder. St. Louis won from Cleveland and Detroit, tied with New York, and lost all others. New York won only the Cleveland series and managed to tie St. Louis and Bos ton. Chicago won from Cleveland, New York, St. Louis and Washington, but lost to Detroit, Boston and Athletics by considerable margin. Cleveland tied with Washington and lost all of the remaining series. These exchanges, in their effect upon the pennant race, show that the champion Athletics were superior to all teams except Boston, which barely won the series, and overwhelmingly successful against Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis; that Bos ton©s pennant chances were impaired by mere ties with Washington and the lowly New Yorks; that Washington found its chief ob stacle to flag or place in the Athletics, Chicago and the tail-end Cleveland teams; that De troit failed to live up to early-season promise owing to inability to cope with the Athletics, Boston and Browns; that St. Louis© first di vision aspirations were destroyed by the Ath letics, Boston and Washington; that New York©s chief obstacles to progress were the Washingtons and Athletics; that Chicago was put out of the running and the first division by the Athletics, Boston and Detroit, being singularly weak against the champions; and that Cleveland was hopelessly weak against all teams but Washington, and virtually help less against the champions.

The Intersectional Series During the campaign of 1914, the Western

teams of the American League made three trips to the East, the result of which was a total of 108 victories for the East and 62 vic tories for the West, as against 101 victories and 72 defeats for the East at home in 1913. Following is the record for the three com bined Western trips to the East for the past season.

lost much ground in the intersectional strug gle, thanks to a decline in strength all along the line, but especially by Cleveland. Of the Eastern teams, all showed gains, except Wash ington. Of the Western teams, Cleveland declined, and Chicago and St. Louis each made only a slight gain. The champion Athletics maintained virtually the same pace against the Western teams as in 1913, and, therefore, owe their greater gain over the 1913 year to their marked superiority to their Eastern colleagues. Next to the champions, Boston made the best showing against the West, while St. Louis excelled all of its colleagues in its gains on the East. Detroit made no gain what ever and, therefore, owes its first division berth to its superiority in its contests with the teams in its own section.

CHAMPION ATHLETICS* ROSTERFollowing Is a condensed resume of the personnel of

the American League 1914 champion team, the Ath letics, including the regular and substitute players of the team, which Is now for another year the repre sentative team of the junior major league.

MANAGER MACKCornelius McGilliouddy, better known to the base

ball world as Cornie Mack, is unquestionably one of the best managers in base ball at the present time. Endowed with a splendid personality, shrewd and unfailing judgment, he brings into play the experience gained upon the diamond during the past 29 years. He was born at Brookfleld, Mass., in 1862, and be gan his base ball career with the Meriden, Conn., Club In 1884. The following two years found him playing for Hartford, Conn. The latter part of the season of 1886 he joined the Washington Club, play ing in that city in 1886, ©87, ©88 and ©89. Buffalo found him in its base ball ranks in 1899. For the next six successive seasons he caught for Pittsburgh, and was manager from August. 1894, until the end of August, 1896. The year following he assumed the management of the Milwaukee. Western League, Club and remained in the West until the Spring of 1901. when he transferred his Milwaukee franchise to Philadelphia and organized the Athletic Club, one of ;he mainstays of the American League. In HOI ha brought the Athletics in fourth. In 1902, despite the severe setback ha received through the ruling of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court In the cases of Lajoie, Flick, Bernhardt and Fraser, he succeeded in molding a championship team from material that would hare defied the efforts of any other manager in the busi- less. In 1903 the Athletics finished second, in 190H fifth, in 1905 first, in 1,906 fourth, in 1907 second. in 1908 sixth, in 1909 second, in 1910-©!! first, in 1912 third, in 1913 and 1914 first a. great 14-years record for Manager Mack, to which the Athletic Club is very largely indebted for Its wonderful prosperity, whose fitting expression is the new magnificent Shiba ParK.

PITCHER C. A. BENDERCharles Albert Bender, the famous Indian pitcher,

nas had a highly successful professional career. He is a Cihppewa Indian and was born at Brainard. Minn., May 5, 1883. He Is six feet one inch tall, weighs 170 pounds, and is a natural ball player, When 18 years of age he played first base for the Car lisle Indian School team, relieving the pitcher at various times. In the Spring of 1902 he pitched for Dickinson College, at Carlisle. The following year he pitched for the Harrisburg Athletic Club, and played on various teams in Harrisburg. In the Spring of 1903 he was signed by the Athletics. He did good work part of 1904, but was handicapped greatly by poor health. An operation for appendicitis put him; in shape for better work in 1985, but in mid-season he was laid up with kidney trouble.. Later he re covered, did brilliant work, and won the deciding game of the American League championship race from Washington in the last week of the season. He was the Athletics© pitching star in the memorable IflOoi World©s Chamoionahip Series with the New York Na tionals, and won the only gam« credited to the Ath letics, shutting the New Yorkers out. He was also the star of the World©s Series of 1911, winning tha deciding game from the Giants; and in the 1914 se ries he was also a star. Ha is a right-hander and also bata right-handed.

PITCHER EDWARD S. PLANKEdward S. Kank has enjoyed a successful career as

a professional pitcher and all his experience has been gained while a member of the Athletics. Plank was bom at Gettysburg, Pa*, in 1875, and after a public school education he took a course at Gettysburg Col lege. While there his pitching against college teams attracted the attention of Connie Macfe, who invited him to come to Philadelphia for a trial. His work- out was eminently satisfactory and Maok signed him on the spot. This was in 1901, and he made good from the jump, helping to pitch the Athletics into the 1902, 190©5 and 191,0-©11-©13-©14 pennants. Plank is a left-handed batter and pitcher. In respect of control and steadiness he is esteemed tha greatest southpaw of record in base ball.

PITCHER J. W. COOMBSJohn W, Coombs, pitcher, hails from Portland, Me.,

and weighs 190 pounds. In 19G2-©03-©(M-©05 he pitched for Colby Collega and was considered tha best twirler "fever turned out of that institution. Mack landed him in 1900, in which year he pitched and won that famous 24-inning game against Boston. This feat stamped him. as a wonder, but later he fell short of expectations and for a whole season Manager Mack tried to make an outfielder of him. His bat ting, however, did not qualify him for a regular out field berth, so he took up pitching again. In tha 1910 season he was one of the mainstays of the team,, and it was largely due to Ms wonderful pitching against Chicago that the Athletics were able to style themselves the World©s Champions. In the 1911i World©s Series he did splendid work against the Giants. Coombs is a right-handed thrower and left- handed batter. He was quite ill all of the 1913 and 1914 seasons and was unable to participate in tha 1913 World©s Series with the Giants.

PITCHER HERBERT J. PENNOCKHerbert ,T. Pennock, the young southpaw. Is »

native of Kennett Square, Pa., where he was born on February 19, 1894, being less than 21 years of age. He is another of Connie Mack©s young finds. He was picked up from the Independent ranks in1912 and never had any minor league experience. He is six feet tall, but has not yet filled ouit, weighing only 155 pounds. In 1912 he pitched in 17 games, though his record only gives him credit for winning and losing two games. In 1913 he started well, but he was ill a good portion of the time and only re turned to the game in the last few weeks of the season. In 1914 he took his regular turn when not used as a relief pitcher and showed qualities that placed him almost on a par with Plank. He has good control, speed and a good curve, and gives prom ise of developing into a fine pitcher.

PITCHER J. WELDON WYCKOFF Pitcher J. Weldon Wyckoff is another of Manage*

Mack©s college products. He came to the Athletics from Bucknell College in Pennsylvania, the same institution that turned out Christy Mathewson and other good ball players. Wyckoff was born at Wil- lianmport. Pa., February 19, 1892. He is six feet tall and weighs 174 pounds. He joined the tea©m in1913 and was only used infrequently, but lias been developed slowly. In 1914, however, he was used a9 a regular and showed good improvement, especially ia th« matter of control.

PITCHER ROBERT J. SHAWKEY Pltcbu Robert 3. Sha-wkey, who baa proved oat «f

12 SPORTING LIFE OCTOBER 17,

Manager Mack©s cleverest young pitchers, was bom at Brookfleld. Pa., on December 4, 1890. He is five feet ten inches in height and weighs 175 pounds.He began his professional play with the HarrisburgClub, of the Tri-State League, in 1911, and thoughhe only won 10 and lost 16, he was signed by Man ager Mack and taken South the following Spring. Connie found he needed seasoning .and before the season opened sent him to Baltimore, of the Inter national League. He pitched in Baltimore all of 1912and up to the middle of 1913. when Manager Mackpurchased him when his pitching staff needed strength ening. He proved a very serviceable pitcher in theremainder of the 1913 season and throughout the 1914season he lanked next to Bender as the club©s star right-hand pitcher.

PITCHER J. LESLIE BUSHLeslie Bush, one of the right-handers of Mana

ger flack©s staff, who possesses such fine speed, wasborn at Brainard, Minn., November 27. 1893, and isfive feet 10 inches in height and weighs 173 pounds.Bush has had little minor league experience, havingspent but one year in the minors. He was withthe Missoula, Mont., team, of the Union Association,in 1912, and pitched in 54 games, winning more thanhalf of them.. He was frequently used last year with good results ; and he won the only World©s Series gamepitched by any Athletic pitcher apart from the vet eran pitchers. In the 1914 season, however, he didnot quite fulfill expectations, owing to lack of con trol.

PITCHER BRESSLERRaymond Bressler, left-handed pitcher, was the "dark

horse" of the series, according to many wise followersof the Macks, who believed that Connie would allow theyoungster to start one of the games. Bressler wasbom at Brookville, Pa., October 25, 1895. so is notyet 20 years of age. His first and only engagementprior to his purchase by Manager Mack was! with theHarrisburg team, of the Tri-State League, in 1913.While his record was surpassed by many in thatleague Manager Mack believed that he would developInto a star and his prediction has been fulfilled bythe youngster©s grand work this season. He stands feet in height and weighs 175 pounds.

PITCHER DAVIES Lloyd Davies, the brilliant young outflelder is an

other one of Mack©s surprising finds from the col lege field.. Davies was bora at Peabody. Mass., on March "6, 1892, and ho first earned fame as a pitcherat Amherst College this Spring. One of Mack©s Bcouts picked him up and he reported as a pitcher.winning his first and only game from the St. Louis Browns. In this contest Davies pounded out a coupleof hits and stole two bases,- which convinced Mack that be was an outfield possibility, and he was immediatelyplaced in left, field while Oldring was out of the game. Daviesi made good immediately and was in thegame often, always playing a high-class article of base ball. As a pitcher Davies looked good, but wastoo small and will probably never return to the mound as he is too hard a hitter and fast runner to remainIdle. He is a left-handed thrower and batsman.stands 5 feet 7 Inches In height and weighs only 148pounds. .

CATCHER M©AVOTJames MoAvoy, utility catcher, was born at Roches

ter, N. Y., on October 20, 1894, and first attractedattention as a catcher with the Berlin team, of theCanadian League, in 1913. This was his first andonly professional engagement and his work in Canada,resulted In his purchase by Manager Mack last Fall.This Spring he was sent to Baltimore -for furtherseasoning and he played great ball. When Lapp hadhis hand badly hurt and Schang was suffering fromoverwork, Manager Mack recalled McAvoy, who caughtfine ball. He is a. right-handed hitter, stands 5 feet11 inches In height and weighs 166 pounds.

CATCHER IRA THOMAS

Ira Thomas, catcher, was bom In Ballston Spa,N. Y., January 22, 1881. He weighs 195 pounds andstands six feet two inches. In 1902 Thomas securedhis first professional engagement at Hartford, Conn.,and after that was with Newark, Providence, NewYork Americans and Detroit. Mack needed a catcherfour seasons ago and dickered with the Tigers, butbe had to pay a fancy price for the backstop. Thatthe purchase was justifiable has been well proved andtoday Thomas has few superiors behind the bat.Thomas is a right-handed thrower and hitter. He was disabled during the greater part of the 1913 season with a bad hand, but did useful work as a coach forthe club©s young pitchers that season and In 1914.

JPrazer, Pa., on September 10, 1.884. He played amateur ball with Berwyn, in the Main Line League,In 1905, and in 1907 went to Portsmouth, Va.

For this deed he was suspended.Lapp went to Hazieton, Atlantic League, in 1908, and was reinstated in the Fall of that year. Since thattime he has been with Connie Mack, except for a few games in 1909 with Newark. Lapp is right-handed,and was a hard hitter until last year, when he fell off in his batting. In 1914, however, he again pickedup in his batting.

CATCHER WALTER H. SCHANGCatcher Walter H. Schang, playing his first year

In the major leagues in 1913, has proved one of themost sensational catchers in recent years. ManagerMack obtained him by the draft route from Buffalo.of the International League last Fall, after nearlyevery club in the two major leagues had put in aidraft for him. Sehang was born at South WalesN. Y., on August 22, 1890, and is five feet nineInches tall, and weighas 180 pounds. He is a re markably fast runner, a good hitter and strongthrower.

During the season he was the sensation of that league and batted .334.Schang made a great record for a first season andbecame a star 5n the 1913 World©s Series. In thefirst half of the 1914 season his work was erraticespecially in throwing, but in the second half of the eason he recovered and played up to form and ex pectation.

FIRST BASEMAN M©lNNESFirst baseman John Mclnnes, who was developed

In the 1910 season into a star first baseman, despite Jus comparatively short stature, joined the Athletic team in 1910.

He began with the Haverhill. Mass., team five years agobut was secured by Connie Maok for the 1910 season© Mclnnes had not much opportunity ©©of showing hismerit that yea,r, but in the few games he played heshowed considerable form. In mid-season Harry Davis declined so much in batting that it was de termined to give Mclnnes a trial at the first base andhe made good at once. He ©has since become a starat first base and in batting. Melnnes is a right-hand ed thrower and batter and a hard hitter.

SECOND BASEMAN E. T. COLLINSEdward T. Collins, second baseman, was born at

Mellerton, N. Y., May 2, 1887. He is five feet tenInches high and weighs 1«» pounds. He firat came Into prominence at Columbia University, where heplayed base ball and foot ball. He excelled in both branches of athletics and finally w*s persuaded toplay for the Athletics. He did so at first under the mine of Sullivan to 1906. and in 1907 he resumed. tft osurwJt name. .For » coojpto «f jesus h» «a» kept.

on the bench, but four seasons ago he was given a place on the regular team and at once made good; his hitting, fielding and base running put him in thefront rank, and today he is considered one of thebest ball players hi the country. Collins Is a left-handed batter and a right-handed thrower.

THIRD BASEMAN BAKER J. Franklin Bake-r was born at Trappe, Md., on

March IS, 1886; is six feet tall and weighs 175 pounds.His first professional engagement was with the Read ing, Pa., Tri-State League, team in l&OS, and hiswork there soon attracted Connie Mack©s eye. Mackdecided that Baker would, be an acquisition to histeam and secured him in the Fall of 1908. He made good with the Athletics from the jump and was the first player to knock a ball over the wull at the new Shibe Park in the Spring it was opened. His batting in his ftrst major league year was .307 and he fielded .920. In 1911 Baker improved steadily and now heis ranked with the best third basemen in the league.Baker is a left-handed batter and right-handedthrower. He was the ata.r of the 1911 World©s Se ries with the Giants, he making one home run offMarquard which decided that particular game, andanother off Mathewson the next day, which enabledthe Athletics to prolong the game to 11 innings, finally winning out.

at Merklen, Conn., weighs 160 pounds and is five fe«teight inches in height.

Connie Mack was the fortunateman and he soon secured Barry©s name to a contractin 1908. Barry had played every infield position atHoly Cross, but Mack soon discovered that Barry wasa natural shortstop and placed him there. Barry is aright-handed thrower, a fast and brilliant groundcoverer, and a timely hitter. For all-round excellencehe has no superior in .his position in the AmericanLeague.

SUBSTITUTE INFIELDER HARRY DAVISHarry Davls, the former first baseman and captain

of the team, was bom in Philadelphia in 1873. andreceived his education at the noted Guard College. While there Davis showed considerable aptitude as a .ball player and in 1894 he was signed by the Provi dence, R. I., Club. The following year he was with Pawtucket, R, I., and later in the season was so-cured by New York. At that time he was troubled with rheumatism in the legs and New York let himgo to Pittsburgh in 1896. He played there for two years and then went to Providence in 1898 and 1900.In 1901 Davis decided to quit base ball and he se cured a position in Philadelphia. Connie Mackneeded a first baseman badly and made overtures to Davis, but the latter refused them until Mack©s offerwas so large that Davis could not refuge. He joined the Athletics the middle of the 1901 season and wasa. great factor in the team©s success until 1911. when he gave way to Mclnnes at first base and confinedhimself to coaching and captaining from the bench.That Fall Mclnnes was unable to play in the World©sSeries with the Giants, owing to an Injured arm, and Davis substituted for him acceptably. In 1912 Davls became manager of the Cleveland team, but resignedtoward the close of the season. In 1913 he was re engaged by the Athletic Club to act as coach, assistantcaptain and general utility man, which position he-retained la 1-914.

He first attracted attention as a ball playerwhile a member of the Fordham College team in 1912.Manager Mack signed him during the Summer andtook him to San Antonio the following Spring underthe name of Brady, as Kopf had an Idea he mightwant to return to college. When Connie assured himthat he had a bright future before him, Kopf de cided to play under his own name and went to Toledounder Topsy Hartel. When Cleveland purchased theToledo Club, the first thing It did was to grab Kopffrom the American Association Club, but after lookinghim over Manager Birmingham decided he would notdo and asked for waivers. Connie refused to waiveand Kopf retxirned to the Athletics at the waiverprice. In his few opportunities this season Kopf hasperformed brilliantly In all departments and leavesMack by far better fortified than he was during the last World©s Series. Kopf is a right-handed thrower and left-handed batter, standing 5 feet 9 Inches inheight and weighing 160 pounds.

OUTFIELDER STR.TJNKAmos Strunk, outfielder, is one of the young mem

©which he made a big success. Strunk Is a six-footer and weighs 165 pounds. He is a left-hander. Strunkattracted attention in 1908 in the outlaw Atlantic League, from which Manager Mack picked him. He was farmed out to the Milwaukee Club, of the Ameri can Association in 1909, and "did such brilliant workin all departments of the game that Manager Mack recalled him. That he played in comparatively fewgames in 1910 was due to the fact that ho was laid up nearly all that season with a badly injured knee.In 1911 he became the regular centre fielder and has retained the position ever since, improving in battingwith each season. He Is a wonderful fielder and ex tremely fast on his feet.

OUTFIELDER "RUBE" OLDRINGReuben N. Oldring was bom of American parents

Oldring©s work with Montgomery attractedgeneral attention, and in the middle of the seasonthe Athletic Club purchased his release. At the endof the Southern League season Oldring returned tohis New York home and played a number of gameswith the New York Americans. He made such agood impression that the New York Club, unaware of.the Athletics© purchase, drafted him for 1906, whichdraft was subsequently set aside by the National Com mission. Oldring stands five feet nine inches highand weighs 180 pounds In playing condition andthrows and bats right-handed.

OUTFIELDER J. EDWARD MUBPHTRight fielder Eddie Murphy came to the Athletics In

The Season©s Record Day by DayA resume of the American League race shows that there was little changing of

positions after the first six weeks of the season. Chicago and Detroit battled for the lead for the first five weeks and then Was lington jumped into the lead for three days. OnMay 29 the Athletics assumed the lead, which they held for the balance of the season,excepting for two days, June 6 and 7, when Washington went ahead. The Red Sox, whofinished second, hung around seventh place for the first month and then started a steadyadvance, which took them into second place on July 22, and they were never displaced.The real battle was for third place with Detroit holding the advantage early in the sea son, when injuries forced them to give up the position to Washington. A winning streak early in September enabled the Tigers to pass the Senators, but after holding the posi tion for nine days, Detroit weakened and Griffith©s team won out. Chicago and St. Louis were fighting a little battle of their own throughout the season, with fifth place as the prize, when New York suddenly braced and challenged both. St. Louis, however, man aged to squeeze through with a slight lead on New York and Chicago, who tied for sixthplace. Cleveland, the disappointment of the season, started off with a string of defeatsand secured a tight hold on last place, which was never relinquished except for two days,June 30 and July 1, when the New Yorks, in the throes of a losing streak, dropped tothe bottom of the ladder.

NEW YORK AT PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 5. The Athletics© regulars began their tuning-up for the World©s Series after a week©s rest, when they de feated New York, 2-0. All of the regular infielders, outneldera and catchers that Manager Mack expected to pend in against the Braves on October 7. were in the game with the exception of Mclnnes. The American League champions showed the effect of tiieir lay-off by their weak hitting, bot this was offset by excellent fielding and splendid twirling by Bush, Bressler and Shawkey. Each pitched three innings, Bush not per mitting a tit and Bressler and Shawkey only one each. Bcore:

MACK©S MOTTO TOLDSecretary Daniels, of the Navy» Gives the

Athletic Manager Credit for Inspiring His Famous "Dry Navy" Order.

NEW YOR.K, N. Y., October 12. Cornelius -McGil.lt- cuddy, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, World©s Champion base ball team, is the man who is responsi ble- for Secretary of the Navy Daniels making the navy dry. Mr. McGillicuddy. who is known to the basa ball world as Connie Mack, inspired that order by his declaration that "clear thinking is necessary for ef ficiency" and his demonstration of the effect rf his theory in practice with the Athletics.

GIVES AWAY SECRETMr. Daniels gave this secret away when a reporter

asked him how the navy temperance order was work ing out. Said he: "The newspapers have had a lot to say about that order, but it has been accepted by the navj as making for the efficiency and the good of the service. Connie Mack taught us something when he declared that to set good work out of men they must think straight and clear. I do not object to any man Ui king a drink when he wishes in his own time, at his home, his club .or his .hotel, but I would feel mighty nervous "if" I©knew that the men in charge of a ship I was a passenger on had been drinking, or that the©engineer ,of ©my train had just come from a social session at liis club. As well permit the engineers to stop at stations for a drink as have the men in charge of a ship

,". DRINKING WHEN ON DUTY. To get efficiency you must, as Connie Mack says, have cl&ar thinking. There has not been a violation Of the order that wp know of. The naval officer is a splendid type and© orders to him are orders. The older men realize that the. order wa©S intended to protect the young fellows, and aside from a few who thought the

held them up to the world as hard drinkers,

there has been very little protest. John D. Long, who, as you know, was once Secretary of the Navy, has written me indorsing the order. So have many others. Norway haa followed our lead and you will find other nations doing the same. Many naval officers have taken a pronounced s»tand in favor of the order."

AT THE CAPITALWashingtons Finish Third Their 'Work

Analysed Walter Johnson Goes Home Without Signing Comment on the Fed erals and the World©s Series.

BY PAUL W. EATONWASHINGTON, D. C., October 12. Editor "Sport

ing Life." The Washingtons finished their season by winning two out of three games in Boston, thus re taining third place by a small margin. On Monday, Walter Johnson won from Collins and Gregg, !>-3. In the fourth inning, with the score 2-2, Johnson drove the ball into the centre-field bleachers for a home run, the first time this feat has been accomplished at Fen- way Park. On Tuesday, George Foster allowed the Washingtons only two lute and won, 8-4. On Wed nesday, Bentley pitched against Bedient, Ruth and. Cooper and got the decision, 11-4. Washington scored four runs in the third inning, and the game became farcical in its later stages. Manager Griffith pitched the last inning, allowed no rune, and made a two- base hit in his only time at bat. This makes Griffflth the daddy of all hitters, with an average of l.OOO for 1914, and the same for 1913.

WALTER JOHNSON©S STATUSAnnouncements that Walter Tohnson would sign a

new contract with the Washington Club before leav ing for his home in Kansas, which reports© had a sub stantial foundation, were not verified. Johnson has already gone West, passing up the World©s Series, and neglecting to do business with Griffith, who is not at all worried and probably has a more or less definite understanding with his star twirler. There will, of course, be a disposition in some quarters to couple Johnson©s action with the claims of Federal I/eague officials that he has signed with the independents, or will do so. Nothing could be more improbable than such procedure by Johnson. It is not likely that the National Commission or any repreaentatiw at Organ ized Ball will dignify

THE FEDERALS© CHALLENGE to the winner of the World©9 Series with any notice, even to the extent of refusing it. It might be a good plan, however, to let the winner accept as an individ ual club, if it should so desire. It would require only one game in such a contest to demonstrate the ridicu lousness of the Federals© claim of major league sta tus. Their spokesman, In their efforts to initiate ne gotiations for the compromise of a conflict that is already settled, has admitted that there is room, for only two major leagues. The field is occupied. If the independents are not tired of maintaining an absurd pose at great expense, they should be allowed to keep on ti-ying. It is only natural that they should want to break into the World©s Series, as it was the big annual contest that caused their beginning, and they have already cost, the old leagues more money than, the World©s Series will repay in some years. The

WASHINGTON TEAM©S WORK in 1914 was a disappointment, and landed it one notch lower than in the two preceding years. Some money was made, in spjte of increased expenses and lessened receipts, but much leas than In W13. The team was tied with. Cleveland and St. Louis for fourth place in batting, was third in fielding, and fourth in runs scored and bases stolen. In the latter particular it was easily ftrst in 1913, and this and other items indicate lessened speed, temporarily at least. They lost the series to the Athletics, nine games to 13, and Chicago, 12 to 10, tied with Boston and Cleve land, and won from Detroit, 12-1O; St. Louis, 13-9. and New York, 15-7. They won 40 games and lost 33 at home, and won 41© and lost 40 abroad, where they have usually won more than that on their own grounds. Four of the games scheduled at home were transferred to Western ground*. Three tie games were also played. In view of its

NUMEROUS HANDICAPS,the team did vfell to finish third. Johnson, Its star pitcher, had an off year, though even when going bad ly he is better than most pitchers. Joe Boehling, Griffith©s best southpaw, was much troubled by an injured knee nearly all season and was out for soma weeks at the end. Clyde Milan, the real batting leader this season, was out with a broken jaw for sis weeks. Chick Gandil, last year©s batting premier, was in bad health and hit 50 points below his 1913 average. Shaw, who became a star in the last month of the season, developed slowly, and Shanks, who, the critics all agreed, would bat better than last year, fell 24 points below his 1913 figures, after getting a fine start. It has been customary to give averages of the Washington players in the letter published Im mediately after the season, but these differ so little this year, from those published in most of the daily newspapers, that it is hardly worth while.

CLEVELAND CLUB PLANSManager Birmingham Will Take Naps to

Texas for Spring Training in 19J5 and Try Out Youngsters.

BY ED. BANOCLEVELAND, O., October 12. Editor "Sporting

Life." There©s very little doing in a base ball way here these days, as the interest of fans has passed from the misdeeds of the Naps and Bearcats during the six moths which came to a close a week ago Sunday to the present deeds of the Boston Braves and Philadelphia Athletics. Clevelanders were stun ned by the two setbacks received by the American League standaxd bearers in Philadelphia, last Friday and Saturday. They had come to regard the Mackians as unbeatable, probably due to the fact that they have always been able to hang it on the Naps. Manager Birmingham, did not go to the series this year. Last Fall Binny wanted to BO. but couldn©t, owing to the Cleveland-Pittsburgh series, but this year he didn©t have the ambition. Probably Joe was a little bit shy of all the kidding that wtuid have been coming Ills way had he ventured

TO PHILLY OR BOSTON.Before leaving Cleveland Birmingham made known, that he had definitely closed for the Naps to condition, at San Antonio, Texas, next Spring. He believes that he can emulate the example of the Athletics and Giants when they trained in the Lone Star State and bring his boys back North in far better condition than has been the case for several years. Biimy insists tbAt he couldn©t be hired to train at Athens, Ga., again. That was where the Naps hung the caps last Spring, and when they came North they were in just, about as poor physical condition as when they started South. They drew rain, snow and oold winds at Athens day after day and very few of the ath letes were able to get the kinks out of their rusted joints. This will not be the first trip of the Naps to Texas. They trained there nine or ten years bach and officials of the club are of the opinion that tha players of those days were always in

BETTER PHYSICAL CONDITION than has been the case during the intervening years. Just hx>w many players Birmingham plans to UJt* t*

San Antonio has not been announced and probably no decision in this matter will be reached until within a few weeks of "getaway" titiie. One thing is cer tain, however, and that is that Birmy will take all of the youngsters of promise to the training camp, as he is determined to have more speed on the Cleveland Club nert year than ever before. He has some real live looking recruits and if they come through for him the Naps will make a far better showing than during the campaign just closed. Birmy believes that when. he sends out the call to arms next February that all of his boys will respond with a will, as he is looking forward to one big happy© family in 1915. The sea son of 1914 found the Naps anything but united, but somd weeding out has been in progress and others will follow in the footsteps of the discontents who were released, traded or sold.

;i THE NEW YORKSMVORKBelated Spurt Makes Peckinpaugh©s Men

Finish Better Than Last Year -Maisel©s Fine Performance.

BY HABRY DIX COLENEW YORK, N. Y., October 12. Editor "Sporting

life." Now that final returns are all in it is seen that our much-managed Farrellites were on the wrong end of four series, tied two others, and won the seventh, finally winding up in a tie with the White SOT for sixth place. Cleveland, the American League janitors for 1914, was the New York©s only victim, being defeated in fourteen of the twenty con- testa staged by ttese teams. New York©s record against tia first division was 35 Tictories and 53 de feats, a poreentaga of .398, and against the second division

3S YICTORIEB AND SI DEFEATS for .530. They were beaten very few times by oTerwhelming scores, but when the game is over one run either way is as good as a hundred. Caldwell©9 dwertion practically cost the team fifth place which, while not a particularly exalted position, would have teen a marked advance and would have augured well for 1915. On the other hand, had it not been for their recent spurt under Manager Peckinpaugh, they would have become securely chained to the seventh rung of

THE CHAMPIONSHIP LADDER where they finished last season. As far as can be learned the same line-up will take the field next sea son unless some "phenom" is found in the annual Spring crop of "rookies." To date we have no line on any of them so can make no predictions. Maisel, as was expected, led the league in stolen bases, des pite the fact that he sported a .234 batting average, truly a remarkable performance. Fritz annexed 74 bases during the season, about a dozen more than Eddie Collins, his nearest rival. "Doc" Cook and "Birdie" Oee were the only New Yorkers within bailing -distance of the Charmed Circle, completing; the season with .291 and .299 respectively.

BROWNS WIN ST. LOUIS SERIESAmerican League Team Defeats Cardinals

in Four Out of Five Games, One Be ing Tied.The St. Louis Browns, representing the

American League, captured the series for the championship of St. Louis, from the Cardinals, representing the National League, by a score of four games to one, the other game result ing a tie. In three of the games the Cardinals scored but one run. The series was not played under National Commission auspices, the con testing clubs evidently concluding that they could ill afford, in this lean year, the diver sion of any of the proceeds of the honor game* to the National Commission, or its represen tative. The details of the contests are here with given:

BROWNS WIN THE FIRST GAME The first game of the series was played on Tues

day, October 6, the Browns drawing first blood. In the second inning, Weilman, first man up, singled and took second on Shotten©s hit to right. Both advanced «n Austin©s out, and scored on Pratt©s long clout to right field. Weilman held the Cards scoreless until the ninth inning, when Jack Miller crossed the plate, saving his team from, a shutout. Score: American*. AB.R.B. P.A.E Nationals. AB R E PAE

Something Besides the World©s Series Prize Should Be Provided for the Contestants in Major League Races.

BY FRANK G. MENKENEW YORK, N. Y., October 12.— Why don©t the big

league magnates get together and offer cash rewards for members of the clubs that finish second, third and fourth each season? The team that finishes first mingles in the World©s Series and each of the players gets a nice divvy. But there©s no financial reward for the clubs that finish second, third and fourth, even if they are only half a game behind, as was the case

"in 1908, when the Tigers beat out the Naps. If the magnates offered $10,000 to be split among the play ers of the team finishing second, $7500 to the third team players and $5000 to the players on the fourth team, it would result in adding to the income of the magnates because there would be rivalry to the last day of the season and

THEREFORE INCREASED ATTENDANCE. In the American League now the Athletics are so far ahead that nothing but a miracle will enable another team to beat them. The 1911 pennant race, as far as the American League is concerned, is over. There is little glory for teams finishing second, third or fourth, and the teams aren©t exerting themselves to land those positions. This means that for weeks before the season has closed the interest in American League base ball has been dead. Seven of the teams have nothing to fight for and the crowds aren©t lured to any extent by teams that can achieve little by victory and lose no.thing by defeat. How different the situation would be if there were prizes for the teams to contest for. Thers©d ba

A MERRY LITTLE BATTLEamong the other seven teams to land in one of th? po sitions. Their interest in the fight would continue right to the finish of the season. They would put up better ball games and would fight harder. There would be lasting interest in the race among the fans in the town$ whose clubs had a chance for one of the prize- positions. If $10,000 were ottered for second place. $7500 for third place and $5000 for fourth place it would mean that the eight magnates would have to chip in about $2800 each. They would get this back ten-fold each season through extra attendance at the fag end of the season to see the battles for second, third and fourth positions. The condition in the National League this season is somewhat different than

THAT IN THE AMERICAN.The interest in the pennant fight, with four teams still having a chance at the firat place honors, is still high and big crowds attend all the games in which the contending teams figure. But very goon one or another of the four must pull away and open a gap wide enough to cinch the pennant before tlie season really ends unless all signs go wrong. It seems a little unjust to the playens "on the thiree teams who will have come so near to winning the flag only to lose in the end, that they should not get some extra, stipend for the game© fight they have made. If the scheme of awarding cash prizes to the players on the teams that finish second, third and fourth were in effect now it would work to the advantage of both the

PLAYERS AND THE MAGNATES. Let©s assume that during the last few days of the season Chicago and St. Loufe both have a chance for second place. They won©t draw a big crowd to see them fight it o_ut merely for position, but if $10,- 000 wa3 at stake in that series it seems certain that at least 5060 additional fans would turn out for each of the four games. That would make about 20,000. At an average price of 50 cents a head it would mean $10,000 extra receipts, or $5000 for each magnate. This woula be almost double the cost of their assess ment for the prizes and this would coma from ono series alone.

HAMILTON HURT

The St. Louis Browns© Pitcher Suffers Rib Fracture in an Automobile Accident.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 10. Editor "Sporting Ufe." Earl Hamilton, pitcher for the St. Louis Am ericans, and five girls were seriously injured in an automobile accident on the East St. Louis, Ills., side of the Eads bridge early today. Hamilton suffered fractures of three ribs and other internal injuries, besides a scalp wound. One girl was thrown clear of the bridge railing and onto the railroad tracks forty feet below. She fell directly in the way of an approaching train and would have been ground to pieces but for the prompt action of a, flagman, who pulled her unconscious form from the tracks. Two of the girls gave their names as Pearl Kelly. The others were Misses Rose Burke, Nellie Wallace and Evelyn Roy, all of St. Louis. All suffered internal injuries, and, together with Hamilton, were taken to a hospital in East St. Louis. Hamilton was sched uled to play in the city series here today. The acci dent atxsrnO. W*MD UM nitociohila. owned and

by Hamilton, crashed into the heavy wooden partition separating the upper decks of the bridge from the railroad tracks. The machine, which was demolished, was presented to Hamilton by the local Federal League team management when endeavors were being made last Winter to have the pitcher sign a Federal con tract. He signed the contract and then jumped bact to the Browns but retained the machine

AMERICAN LEAGUE NOTES

Pitcher Carl E. Weilman, of the Browns, and the tallest player in the major leagues, was married, at Cincinnati, October 5, to Miss Lucy O Dresel of MaysvUle, Ky.

President Gaffney, of the Boston Nationals, ha« sent word to President Farrell, of the New Yorks, that he had vainly tried to learn the source of th» fake story to the effect that he was about to buy th» New York Club.

Larry Lajoie will not be a regular on the Naps next season, but will decorate the bench and only go up to the plate as a pinch-hitter. This was decided last week by Manager Joe Birmingham, after a talk with President Somers.

"King" Cole, the elongatecj and erratic pitcher ot the New Yorks, who took the measure of the Ath letics on October 6, won by that performance a. trip to the Pacific Coast and Honolulu with Connie Mack©s all-star cast. Boone, of the New Yorks, alea has been. invited. .

Tony Marhefka., New London third baseman, was gathered in in the draft net by the St. Louis Club, in the secret draft held in Chicago, and as far as known is the only Eastern Association player, with the exception of catcher Larry Pratt, of the Ponies, to go higher by draft this season.

Joe Boehling, the Washington Club©s younj south paw twirler, who made such a name for himself dur ing the 1913 season, but who hurt his knee two month* ago and had to quit, was operated upon for floating

.cartilage, on September 28. Dr. W. T. Graham, of Richmond, removed the troublesome bit of gristle and the operation was successful.

According to Detroit advices, first baseman CHick Gandil, of Washington, will jump to the Federal League because "he is sore on organized ball be cause of a fine that was plastered on him as a re sult of a run-in with Umpire Chill, which tho Wash- Ing dub has refused to pay and which is being withheld from his salary."

President Somers, of the Cleveland Club, declares positively that there is no truth in the report that John Ganzel will succeed Birmingham as manager of the Na.ps next year. Mr. Somers stated that ha had never even spoken to Gajizel on the matter and adds: "You can say just as emphatically for ma that Joe Birmingham will be the manager of the Cleve land Club in 1915."

The record of the New Yorks, under Peckinpaugh©s management is ten games won and ten lost. They won two out of three from the White Sox, two out of three from tha Browns, two out of three from the Detroit?, one out of three from Cleveland, two out of four from the Red Sox arid one out of four from th? Athletics. ; They went at a .500 clip under Peckin paugh, which was better than their season©s percent age.

That Mrs. Chance is responsible for the Peerless Leader©s desire to get out of base ball, is the opin ion of Secretary Charley Williams, of the Chicago Federal Club, one of Chance©s intimate friends. "Frank has an income of over $20,000 a year, inde pendent of base ball," said tho Tinx secretary. "His wife has wanted him to quit base ball for a long time, and I judge by his action of Saturday that he is about ready to retire."

Had Joe Wood been in his usual form all season, Manager Bill Carrigan, of Boston, feels that the Red Sox would have won the American Leag^ie pennant. Carrigan believes that his club is nearly the equal of the Athletics as it is, and points to the big string of victories the Red Sox have gained at the expense of the Mackmen as proof. Because of his confidence in his club the Red Sox leader is not making the pres ent Western trip as an experimental one.

It is said that both the New York American and Brooklyn Federal Clubs are dickering with pitchef Jim O©Neil, who has been doing fine work with semi- pro. clubs in and around New York City. O©Neil went on the training trip with the Baltimore Internationals and was farmed by that club to the Huntington Club, of the Ohio State League. He did not liko his sur roundings there and returned to New York, putting ia balance of the season with the semi-pros.

President Farrell, of the New Yorks, is indignant over reports spread broadcast in the Metropolis to the effect that he is seeking a purchaser for his club. "The club is not for sale to any one," said Mr. Farrell the other day, with a show of feeling. "I do not know who is circulating these stories, and I do not care. I have never received an offer for the franchise, and if I did it would be promptly refused. The team is playing good ball under Peckinpaugh, and I ana well satisfied with present conditions."

The Official Rec ord of the 1914 Pen tian t Race, with Tabulated Scores and Accu rate Accounts of alt Championship Games Played.

THE 1914 CAMPAIGNTo Phillips* Indianapolis Team Falls the

Honor of Adding the First Pennant of tie Federal League as a Major Organi zation to the Original Flag.The second annual championship race of the

independent Federal League, and the first race of that organization as a major league, started on April 13, 1914, and was scheduled to run, under a 154-game schedule, to October 13 ; but by doubling up the games in the East, the season was concluded October 10. This new major league achieved the amazing feat of ex panding from insignificant minor station into a major league circuit, with eight well-bal anced teams composed of a considerable num ber of stars, and building eight new ball parks in three months, an unprecedented feat in base' ball history. An equally amazing thing was that all this should have been achieved under the lead of President James A. Gilmore, a Chicago business man, without previous practical experience in base ball. The cham pionship of the 1913 six-club league was won by Bill Phillips' Indianapolis Club, the other teams following in this order: Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and Pittsburgh. The 1914 race was Oone of the closest in the history of major league ball, and all of the teams at some time had a look-in for the pen nant, but in the final stage of the race it resolved itself into a battle between Indian apolis and Chicago, the former not clinching the pennant "until the last week Of the race. St. Louis jumped to the front and at the end of the first two weeks led the league. After a campaign of two weeks around the Western circuit, Baltimore Was in front and retained the lead until June 16. On June 16, a dou ble defeat of Baltimore by Kansas City and Indianapolis' victory over Pittsburgh gave the Hoosiers the lead. A serious slump by St. Louis late in June let the Chicago team into the race and by beating Indianapolis July 2, Tinker's men went into first place, and the Hoosiers slipped into fourth place, while Bal timore again became a factor. August 18, Indianapolis went to the front and from that time on the race was mainly between Indian apolis and Chicago. The Chicago team was on top in the last few days until a double de feat by Kansas City, on October 6, pushed Tinker's men into second place, as Indian apolis defeated St. Louis, and thereafter In dianapolis remained at the top until the end. Following is the complete 1914 championship record:

Capture of Championship By Bill Phillips Doe to Unchanged Lineup Good Out look for Next Season.

BY JACK VEIOCKINDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. October 12. Editor "Sport

ing Life." Playing with the same confidence and spirit that kept them up in the race for the pennant ay season, the Hoosier Feds came off the best bet in President J. A. Gilmore©s "baby circuit" a week ago last Tuesday when they took the deciding game from the St. Louis Terriere. Prior to the final leg of the pennant race, the Boosters received a hard ^etbftck in Pittsburgh, when the Rebels took three out <ef four games from them and gave Joe Tinker and his Chifeds the advantage of a half-game lead. Then the wheel of fortune turned in favor of the Boosters, for, after they had trimmed the Kansas City team three straight games, George Stovall and his "fire brands" went to Chicago and took a double-header that sent the hopes of the Chifeds dashing to the bottom of the sea with a great splash. Bill Phillips and his Hoosiers won the pennant after one of the greatest races that the fans of the. country have ever witnessed. Up until tbe rery last came, three «lub»

Indianapolis, Chicago and Baltimore were still In the running for the flag, and the issue kept up the

INTEREST OF THE FANSfrom the middle of July until the early part of last week. The Federals have given fandom one of th« nicest pennant battles in base ball history and natur ally they are proud of it. To say that the fans of Indianapolis arc proud of Phillips and his Hoosiers would be putting it mildly. Bill and his boys are the idols of the fans here. To Phillips goes a large part of the credit for winning the flag in the face of every sort of opposition. The fans here had every confidence in the team aft«V the race had run tha first month. The fact that Phillips© Redlegs over came every obstacle and won the championship in spite of many a setback makes the victory all the greater in the eyes of the fans here. Phillips went through the season with the same bunch of ball players that he took to Wichita Falls, Tex., in tha Spring for training. There was but one exception. Charley Carr. When the .Hoosiers commenced th« season Biddy Dolan was on first base. Phillips thett

TRIED OUT YOUNG ROONEY, but he lacked the experience necessary to complete a strong infleld. Finally Charley CaiT xwas signed to finish the season with the club a^fd his presence on the team became noticeable at once, for shortly afterwards the Hoosiers made that great dash in which they won fifteen straight games and took first place. The manner in which Bill Phillips handled his players throughout the season, and the sensational flnish of the team that overcame every obstacle, coupled with th« fact that he went through the race with practically the same club that he had signel up in the Spring of the year, is one of the greatest tributes that could possiply be mentioned in his faror.

W. H. WATKINS, GENERAL MANAGER of the club, and one of the old school of base ball men, also played Ms part in making the season of 1.9i4 one of the most successful Indianapolis has erer seen. "Watty," who had determined to retire from the game, was induced to give his services to tha Federals and he has been a Godsend to the local club. His popularity here was demonstrated when over 16,000 fans turned out en "Watkins Day," tha last Sunday of the season, to pay him tribute. Now that the season is over and the Hoosiers are two- time champions, the fans are looking forward to tha possibility of a series with the winners of the World©g S«ries between the Boston Braves and the Philadel phia Athletics. A challenge has been sent to tho prominent men in both big leagues, the owners of the two contending dubs, and tie chairman, of the National Commission. :

THE WARDS PLANNINGIndications Point to a Gathering in of Star

M ijor League Pitchers By the Brooklyn, Feds for Next Season*

< BT WILLIAM J. GRANGER BROOKLYN, N. Y., October 12. Editor "Sporting

Life." Brooklyn fans are keeping an ear to tha ground, waiting for announcements from Washington Park as to the new players that are to be seen in Tip Top uniforms next season. Owing to their policy of refusing to do business with any player working under a contract, the Wards did not grab any players during the season, but all the players who were work ing under one-year contracts tills year, of big league class, will be sought by the Brooklyn Club this Win ter. There are a number of the Brooklyn Nationals who have not yet signed for next season, but it is said that the Wards do not intend to take any of Presi dent Ebbets* players. Everyone knew that pitcher Frank Alien intended to join the Feds, and while southpaw pitchers are much sought after by every club in the Gilmore organization, the Wards did not make a move to take Alien away from the Superbas. Rebel Oakes, the manager of the Pittsburgh Rebels, has had his eye on Alien all season, and, having received re ports that Frank was at last showing signs of acquir ing control, decided he would help his team, and lost no time in signing the Mobile kid. There was nothing particularly sensational about the windup of the sea son as far as the Tip Tops were concerned. They

DID NOT HAVE A CHANCEto flnish better than fifth, and that is just where the? finished. About the only thing out of the ordinary in connection with the final games of the season was the good work of Three-Fingered Brown. The veteran pitched fine ball on his last three starts and it pleased the fans, for Brownie is popular in Brooklyn. When he first joined the Tip Tops he did not seem able ta win. He was hit hard, too, and it was beginning ta be feared that he was all through as a big leaguer. However, his work in the closing games of the season means that he will be back with us again next year. There is a rumor that Bill Fischer, the hard-hitting catcher of the Brooklyn Nationals, would like to get with the Tip Tops. Bill is not stuck on his job with the Superbas. He seldom, if ever, got into a game the past season, and he does not take kindly to bench-warming, he is ready to join the Feds. How ever, if he doe* jump he will not land with the Tin Tops. Fischer was with Manager Bradley when Bill was third basing for the Toronto team, in the Inter national league a few years ago. There

SEEMS TO BE A FEELINGthat most all the new Tip Tops will come from -tha ranks of the American League. The tip-off to thii effect came recently when falter S. Ward, who very likely will be in complete control of the club next year, told gome friends that two American Leagu* tar pitchers trould be- with tie Tip Tops In ISIS*

OCTOBER 17, 1914 17The two are Joe Bienz and Jim Scott, of the White Sox. It ha* all along been admitted that if Walter Johnson pitches in the Federal League next season and a lot of people in the know are willing to bet he will that Brooklyn will get the wonderful twirler. When it was first rumored about Johnson, Benx and Scott coming to Brooklyn, everyone began to wonder where the other federal League clubs were going to get oft for talent to compete against the Tip Tops next season. However, judging by the way Kebel Oakes is pulling them in for the Pittsburgh Club, Brooklyn will need a lot of stars if it expects to be in the pennant hunt in 1915. And it is a good bet that Joe Tinker will land more than one big star for his Chicago team before the time rolls around for the boys to go South.

THEKE HAS BEEN A LOT OV TALK that Jack Murray 13 to be a Tip Top in 1915. But there is nothing in the talk. Manager Bradley said recently that -he was not after Murray, and further more that Jack would not be with the Brooklyn Fed erals next year. If the Tip Tops put the caliber of team on the field next year that it is said it is the intention of the Wards to do, then they will have to Incrci©=e ths seating capacity at Washington Park. It in .rue than another tier could he added to the grandstand, but no word has been issued from Wash ington Park that the owners of the club intend to add the upixr tier for next season. The Wards have taken away from the Brooklyn National I>eague Club a num ber of the big local scholastic football games that annually were staged in the. Brooklyn Nationals© park. Every effort is being nuulo to make Washington Park of today just as popular aa was the old Washington Park when it was the headquarter* of the only big league ball club in Brooklyn.

THE TERRAPIN WINDUPManager Knabe Pilots Team to Third

Place m His First Season in the Federal League.

BY EM©ANUEL DAXIEI.BALTIMORE, Md., October 11. Editor "Sporting

Life." Otto Knahe©a Terrapins brought their initial season in the Federal league to a close yesterday by getting an even .break in a bargain attraction .with the Brooklyn Tip Tops, which allowed the Turtles to finish the season in the show position. During the season just ended, the Diamondbacks succeeded in capturing S4 games out of 154 starts, which netted them an average of .54-5. Of the seven series played during the reason, four were credited to the. local favorites. The Chicago, Buffalo, St. Louis and Kansas City teams were the on«s to bow to the prowess of Otto Knate©s pets. The Indianapolis champions, Pittsburgh Rebels and Brooklyn Tip Tops were the squads who succeeded in winning the majority of the contests from the lo cal favorites. To. finish the year in third place after being put out of the running several tinres on, account of injuries, is no mean feat to be proud of. and Man ager Knabe and his men are receiving nothing but the warmest of praise from the

LOCAL OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC. Quit* a few of the Terrapins have decided to make their homes hero during the Winter. Manager Knabe and outfieldet Guy Zinn have already purchased homes here. A number of the Turtles left for their homes immediately after the closing game on Saturday. Bonny Meyeis, Enos Kirkpatriek. Harry Swacina, Ihike Dun- can and Harvey llussell .being among the first to board the rattlers for their Winter hangouts. Starting the past week, the Terrapins lost the first game of a double bill to the Pittsburgh Rebels. 8 to 6. The nightcap was called in the eighth inning with the score one all. On Tuesday, the Turtles turned the taKea and swam]>ed the Rebels, 11 to 1. The second eamo of the double bill was also called a draw, with the score standing one all at the end of the tenth. Frank Smith and Leclair were the opposing pitehcrs in the extra-inning battle. The Rebels made their farewell appearance of the season here on Wednesday, the favorites taking both ends of the

SCHEDULED BARGAIN ATTRACTION, the scores being 5 and 4 to 3. Frank Smith worked the second game for Knabe©s pets, making two con secutive days© work for the big piano-mover. The Brooklyn Tip Tops ma.do their appearance here on Thursday of lost week. Tom Seaton, who adorned the pitching peak for Bradley©s crew, handing the Turtles a 5-3 licking. The second game of the series, played on Friday, was credited to the local team, 5-4. Frank Smith was again in the points for the Diamondbacks. The teams split even in the bargain attraction on last Saturday, the Tip Tops taking the first game, 6 to 3, while the nightcap came this way, 1-0. It was "Knabe Day" at the local ball yard, and between 6000 and 7000 fans turned out. The members of the, local Fed eral League team presented their leader with a hand-

PITTSBURGH PLEASEDGame Fight of Rebel Cakes© Men Satisfies

Fans of the Smoky City Club Remem bers Its Players.

BY WILLIAM A. WHITEPITTSBURGH, Pa., October 12. Editor "Sporting

Xjfe." All hail to Manager Bnnis T. Gates and the Mttiburgh Rebels. We ape neither tail-enders, nor cellar champions. The Federal League season closed here on Saturday. A terrific rainstorm broke In on tho proceedings and spilt «J> a scheduled dual bill while almost 5.000 spectators huddled in the stands to escape the downpour. ©But that is not tho important point. No, never. Something that we are proud of here, a- reason why we all wish Kebel Oakes the best of success. The Pittfeds finished two and a half games ahead of the St. Louis Terriers occupants of seventh place beyond a doubt. Not such a great honor at that, but a greater honor than being termed the champions of the lower berth. "Rebel Oakes I>ay" was what they called the celebration, and the high esteem the players hold for their pilot was never more elaborately brought out than when Hugh Bradley, the first saoker, stepped to the plate, hat in hand, while players of the Buffalo and local teams gathered around, and

DELIVERED A LITTLB SPEECH nd presented Oakes with a handsome diamond stick pin. Well, Rebel forgot that he was supposed to l>e a general of the silvery tongue, and his dashing Y. M. C. A. talk could not get out of him. He tried to talk, but failed. He said "thank you" and walked way. It was the first present Rebel had received ineo ha entered base ball. Ten minutes later, though, while the teams were changing places between Innings, anotbar group of men, headed,, by President E. W. Gwinner, promenaded onto .the field, the local mogul carrying a beautiful silver service, . Again Oakes was call*d to the plate and Mr. Gwinner. in a neat little speech, informed him that the silver ser vice was the gift of the officials of the Pittsburgh Club. Rebel was struck dumb again and he couldn©t ay a word. liut the day©s proceedings just added mother solid haorcner to the Chicago story that Tommy Ix>ach was coming to the Smoky Citjr as leader of rest year©* Plttfeda. Just to show the public, that ha meant what bo said when he told them ho had sign ed up * _ _ _ -

LA&GE ROSTER OF THE MEN as players by .Organized Ball, Oakes, while

in Baltimore fighting th« Terrapins, quietly departed and appeared in Pittsburgh the next day and announc ed that he hod signed Frank Alien, southpaw who wore a Brooklyn National uniform all season, to a Rebel contract, and that Alien would make his first appearance in a Pittsburgh uniform on Saturday. AJlen did appear, and ha boat Larry Seblafly©s Buf- feds. The Reojls, on their final Kasteru invasion, visited Buffalo an<l took of Schlafly©s Buffeds in three contests, hairing a dp.y of rest in between the second and third contests. The Robs dropped the first battle, but copped the Bccotid, with George* Leclair. Oakes© sensational find on the rubber, he allowing the Buffs really only two scattered hits, the official scorer say ing four. Both the other hits should hav« been errors, as

BOTH OAKES AND LEWIS,who made them will tell any person. The day of rest the Rebels spent at Niagara Falls, and the next day they battled twelve innings against Russell Ford and finally took hito into ca-mp, 2 to 1. Howard Camnitz was the heaver for the Smoky City squad and be was newer better. After the Buffalo series the Rebels dropped into Pittsburgh for Sunday and then skipped out to Baltimore. They beat the Terrapins in the first battle, tied the second, lost the third, tied the fourth, and then dropped a twin bill. Both those ties were hard games, tiie scores being ! to 1 ill both cases. The Rebels almost established a record for dual bills, for, on returning home, they were noti fied that they would have three more double ones in three clays. The Rebels lost tbc first game on Thursday, a bobtail affair, cut short by the rain. The second battle will live long in the memory of Pittsburgh fans. It went 16 innings, with Ruasell Ford and Elmer Knetzer on the hill. Ford won. 1 to 0. and gave the locals only five scattered bingle*. The second game that day went to-the Rebels, with Leclair pitching. It was stopped after six frames on account of darknass, only one Buff player having reached first base in these six stanzas. Elmer Knet zer got a check for $1,000 from the local club for being the most consistent flinger on the Rebel staff. Knetsor won two-thirds of Ms games, which is a good record on a tail-end team. The next story published-by .the "Sporting Life," about the Pittsburgh Rebels, \vill ©probably carry some doings; that will make Organized Ball take notice.

ROT BEGGING PEACEPresident Gilmore Says He Is Satisfied

With the Federal League Season and "Will Prove There©s Room for Three Major Leagues.

CHICAGO, Ills.. October 10. Editor "Sportins Life." President James A. Gihnore. of the Federal League, in reviewing the season about to do.se, de- oRux©d that the receipts at the Federal parks this year have shown that there is room for a third big league. Said he: "The Federal League has proven it can thrive on warfare, and we are -perfectly satis fied with the year about to end. We have played out the schedule despite Ban Johnson©s predictions that the league would blow up July 1, August 1, or September 1. The Federal League

WILL CONTINUE TO GROWand give the public the best base ball obtainable in 1915. Ban Johnson need not tea.r hia hair and rave over talk of peace between the Federal League and Organized Base Ball. The Federal League is not ask ing for peace, will not ask1 for it, and the chances are would not accept any propositions earning from John son. Any time one of his agents in©Various parts of the country springs a. story of probable peace Ban bubbles all over and says nothing. No one is asking for a settlement. The Federal League is perfectly. satisfied with its year just about to end. When Mr. Johnson learns how many of his

STARS HE WILL LOSTBwhen the season of 1915 opens he will probably de liver himself of some more thunder. - If he could see the contracts now locked in my vault which players hr.ve signed with Federal teams for 1915- he might not recover from the shock. These namos will be published whenever we see fit to do so, but ©only a few at a time, out of regard for Mr. Johson©s health." "Has Walter Johnson joined the Brooklyn Fed??" was ». question asked the president. "I will give the same answer to all questions, and that is that we are mentioning no names until the proper time conies," said the Federal president.

Will Force RecognitionST. LOUIS, Mo., October 1-3. "The Federal League

clubs of Brooklyn. Pittsburgh, Kansas City and St. Louis lost money in the season now ending." This is the statement attributed to James A. Gilmore, president of tiie Federal League. Gilmore came here to attend a meeting of the stockholders of the local club and departed early. He is further quoted: "The St. Louis «Club lost $45,000 exclusive of its holdings. This was the 1 biggest loss sutalned in the league. Chicago. Buffalo, Baltimore and! Indianapolis will show a balance on the right side of the ledger." Mr. Gilmora dehicd rumors that, the chief stockholders of the local dub contemplated selling their stock or ©that the franchise of the St. Louis Club would be trans ferred to. another city©. "As to Organized Base Ball," Mr. Gilmoro said, "we are aot begging its recognition. We will force that."

STUDIED FALSEHOODSAbout the Independent Federal League Set

in Circulation By Writers in New York Who Care Litt©e for III Effects.

BALTIMORE,. Md., October 12. Editor "Sport ing Life." Some of the New York writers who have been hostile, to. the Federal League ever since it was formed are. constantly grinding out dreams about the baby major. Many of them are actually humorous. One of the writers recently said that the money taken in by the Terrapins in Baltimore would not be suf ficient to pay a bat boy©s salary. It does no harm to the Federal League to mention that statement, for the people of Baltimore know just how ridiculous the assertion is. But that dream is no worse than many, many more which have been printed from time to time telling the people of Gotham that tha Feds »ro about ready to blow and nonsense of that sort. Instead of ths Federals showing

SYMPTOMS OF WEAKENINGthey go right out and land Fielder Jones, a man who had been sought by several clubs in -organized ball. It required .quite a nice sum of money, you can bet, to coax .loses, who is a smart business man, to leave hi» Interests on the Western coast and assume the managership of the St. Louis Terriers. St. Louis, in cidentally, has fared worse at the turnstiles than any other club .in the circuit, yet the signing of Jones certainly proves that neither© mortry nor confidence In the Federal '. League is lacking among the backers of the Terriers. ©Pittsburgh, a town which has been called upon to support two clubs in last place, has given the Rebels an even break in patronage. Some enemies of the Feds have said that tiie©Ward brothers, of Brooklyn, own stock in the Rebels, but President Edward L. ©Gwinner, himself a millionaire and a very fine man, lo©.d the writer that th« Wards weiw not interested in his ball club. -

STORIES OF THAT TYPE ha?a been circulated among the strongholds at or-

&

EXE our own Paul Jones, de Ruyter knew no such word as surrender. His life from boyhood up was one constant battle against the enemies of his country. He defeated the proud English navy in two wars. One of his

sea battles with the English fleet lasted four solid days, and ended with the advantage resting with de Ruyter. Later he fought several great naval duels against the combined English and French fleets, and while his victories were not decisive, he won for Holland undying glory. The great de Ruyter ab horred tyranny of every kind, just as do the Hollanders of today. When prohibitory enactments are proposed to those of the blood of Holland they vote to a man against it They are wherever found unalterably opposed to any legislation which would make the many suffer for the faults of a few. Hollanders know that there is no evil in the barley brews and light wines of their fathers EVIL ONLY IS IN THE MAN WHO MISUSES THEM. In America we have thousands of these splendid people and Personal Liberty always obtains where they reside. For 57 years Anheuser-Busch have enjoyed the trade of those of Holland blood because every day of these 57 years has been devoted to the honest brewing of Barley-Malt and Hop brewa. It is not to be wondered that 7,500 people are daily required to keep pace with the natural demand for Budweiser. Is sales exceed those of any other beer by millions of bottles.

Means Moderation

zanized base ball, but the Federal League, at flrst declared "a bloomer that will never start," later "a bubble that will burst by July 4" and finally "a mere bluff that organized ball will call when the proper time comes." still is in the ring waging war, and the fans have only a few more week* to wait before they will learn of more men like Fielder Jones and Steve Yerkes quitting the National and Ameri can Leagues for the Federal. That Yerkes signed with the Rebels as early as July 13 proved that Presi dent Gilmore©s »tatement to the effect that his clubs will have 11 stars of the American and National Leagues signed up for next season is true. The Fed erals would announce the names of the other 10 men they have signed If they f*lt sure the presi dents of their clubs would hand them their uncon ditional releases.

THE FIRST CAPTURE

Pitcher Frank Alien, of Brooklyn, Stgns With the Pittsburgh Federals.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.. October ft. The flrst of the desertions of. National players to the Federals for Hie Winter has come in.the Smoky City in the person of Frank Alien, of the .Brooklyn Dodgers. He arrived here tills morning and accepted terms with the Pitts burgh Federal League Club. He was at the game to day between Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but was nst in uniform,, sitting in a box with Mrs. Oakes, wife of the Rebel manager. The business manager of the local team said that Alien will make his initial Fed eral appearance beie on Saturday in one of the two games to be played that day with the Buffalo team. Alien has not been very successful with the Dodgers this year, his record showing eight victories and thir teen defeats, for a percentage of .381. He is the first left-handed pitcher to be owned by the local Federals.

The Indianapolis team, champions of the Federal league, on October 1 through President Gtiroorei. sent a challenge to the winners of tho Athletic-Braves Series to play for the championship of the world. If the victors of this bout fail to accept the deft Indian apolis will claim tha universe base ball title through default.

If there were any such thing aa a good loser, Presi dent Weeghman, of Chicago, would Qualify for the title. At any rate he is a good sport. He had set his heart on whining ©a pennant in his flmt year as a magnate, yet after the two defeats by Kansas City on October 6 practically wrecked his hopes he, '<&& not grumble. "I©m sore," he said, but he said it "cheer fully. . © .,. . -••••••

Statistics Just compiled, show Indianapolis to be third in attendance this year, they say. with only Chicago and Baltimore drawing larger crowds. While it is admitted that an attempt may be made to place a club in New York in the event no agreement Is reached with Organized,. Base Ball, it is certain that no plan is on foot whereby the Indianapolis franchise would be disturbed.

The Federal League is on the trail of Walter Johnson. The great Washington pitcher is s»id to have been offered $1&,OQ6 a year and * bonus of $25,800

If he will st«n a three-year eoatrw*. Johnson was in Philadelphia with his bride to witness the World©* Series games. "Griffith and I are the best of friends and there is no manager in base boll I would rather work for." Mid Johnson, "but I h«re not yet signed."

Ralph O©Connell, shortatop of the Fall RlTer Colonial League champions, and admitted the best shortfleld iruardlan on tho circuit, is one of two Colonial Leag uers mentioned for berths in the Federal League next year. Gene Dukette, first baseman of the New Bod- ford team and the ex-Brown »tar, is the other.

While President Weeghman, of the Chifeds, was making the last Bastem trip with his team he got away from base ball at Brooklyn loo* enough to bunip up against something real in tha way of golf. He visited tha Garden City course on Sunday and dis covered th»t a Scotch fouisonae had teem fixed up for him,, the other contestants being John M. Ward, Wal ter Travis and Joseph J. Lannin. When asked tha score and wbo won WeegHman remarked that Traria and Ward were pretty good player*.

The Indianapolis-Pittsburgh game at August H established two Federal records. Indianapolis made 21 runs 1* ia the ninth Inning and 20. hits, of which first baseman Carr got five hits to six times up, and outfielder Campbell got foar hiU in five times up. At the same time Pittsburgh made 11 WU and yet in the 91 hits by both team* not one homer was registered and only two triples were made. Indian apolis stole 12 bases on catcher Benry, of which Cfinp- bell stole fire base*. HcKeehnhi four base*, and Kaoff two bases.

October 4 was "WHHam H. Watklns Day" at In dianapolis, in honor of the veteran business manager of the dub. There are few base ball men In. the country who have put in as much time in one city as "Watty" baa in Indianapolis. Eighteen years of his life have been devoted to tiase ball in Indlanapelis as a player, manager and owner. He©s pulling for the Federal League as strong as he ever pulled for Organized Ball hi the 3* years he was connected with It. and "Watty" won a World©s Championship in 1»&T with tit* Dotrodl Club, than in tie National League.

Second baseman Jack Lewis, of the Pittsburgh dub, was nuurri«d on September », at Steubenvitla. Ohio, to Miss May Dfenan. of that ctts. Aa inter esting base ball romance centres anxuid the nanism of the Kebel second stctor and recalls the d»»» when Lewis was manager of the McKecsport team. In the O. and P. L/eajue. SteubenTille and McKeesport we»> playing in the Ohio tity Jaly 22. 1919. and the horn* dub was three runs to the good ia Voa ninth inning. MeKeesport filled the bases and Ix-wis cleaned tba bases with, a home run. Miss Dignaa was a specta tor and expressed her desim to meet Lewis. The meeting was quickly aooootplisbed and tne friendship soon ripened into love.

THE 19J4 CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD The fifteenth annual championship face

of the Pacific Coast League began on March 31, and is scheduled ©to run until October 25 ^-a total of 216 games for each club, this being the longest schedule in professional base ball. The league is again under the able direction of Presi dent Alien Baum, of San Francisco. The membership is the same as in 1913, and the teams have also been strengthened, the losses to the raiding Federal League having been comparatively slight. Last year the Portland team won the cham pionship with 109 victories and 86 de feats, for .571; the remaining teams finishing in the following order: Sacra mento, Venice, San Francisco, Los An geles and Oakland. The 1914 cham pionship season was not up to preceding seasons in the matter of public interest and attendance, and the situation became so bad at Sacramento that on September o tk*Sacrainent:o team was transferred to San Francisco, where previously the Oak land team had played five.of its scheduled weekly games when the San Francisco team was abroad. At the time of trans fer Sacramento©s record was 69 victories and 89 defeats for .437. The Sacramento title was changed to Mission team. The record is as follows to October 11, in clusive :

DAT OF DOOM FOR WOLVEftTON-JACOBS SACRAMENTO, Gal., October 4, Editor of "Sport-

Ing Life." Harry Wplverton and Lloyd Jacobs have until October 6, the date of the next Coast League meeting, in which to raise financial securities sufficient to wipe out their obligations to the league. Chief among these obligations is a note for $10,000 which Cal Bwing signed for Wolverton. Falling in their effort to furnish the necessary backing, by October 6, ©Waterloo and Jacobs will forfeit tlieir present fran chise to the league, and then the offer to Sacrataento business men becomes effective.

muffed a third strike in the sixth game between the Cubs and White Sox, and the American Leaguers won as a result. The final score was 5 to 3, in favor of the Sox. and four of those runs may be traced to that passed ball. It came in the fifth. Two men were out and Buck Weaver fanned. Had Bresnahan held tha third strike it would have meant the final out. But Biesnahan muffed and Weaver reached first, then he stole second and the trouble began. Before the So.t were retired in that round four of them had crossed the plate.

BILLIARD NEWSBY JOHN CKEAHAN

PHILADELPHIA. Pa., October 12. Editor "Sport- Ing Life." There is no doubt that the series of con tests between Melbourne Inman, of England, and William Hoppe will be of ultimate benefit to the game of billiards in this country. If only to demon strate to the emasculated masculine element, whose

" vitality is sapped through cigarette smoking, that thero was a time in this country when it was the rule and not the exception for men of their age to play billiards on 6x12 tables as they do in England at the present day. There is an element of indepen dent dignity which commands our admiration in seeing a young man smoking a pipe, but to watch his languid and forlorn efforts in being dragged around at the end of a cigarette is enough to make tho gods weep.

Just who was responsible for the eonsuromation of the series of polyglot billiard contests which Mr. Inman and Mr. Hoppe are now engaged in I am not aware of, but it Is certain that their week©s playing in New York has demonstrated the imprudence or Tin wisdom of such a pnxwedins. The most remarkable part of it all Is that the players ranS at their own game among the foremost experts at the world, and yet, take these men out of their tmo line or sphere as they now are, and they are but little more than ridiculous before the public. The fact that each plays great billiards at his own game does not justify him or compensate the public for engagalng in a game . which is practically foreign to him. It is true that they may do much better later on. but this is {lot at all probable. Such experts in a scries of eleven games should be able to show their but work at a game foreign to them.

That Hoppe plays the English game imtoh tetterthan Inman does the balls line was demonstrated in their week©s playing in New York. There Is no doubt whatever that Mr. Inman must have been familiar with Hoppe©9 reputation as an export, and moat as suredly our English friend should have been more than conscious of his own ability at Hoppe©s game. Yet, as a nutter of (act, Mr. Inman did not play any better at the balk line game than a second-class «mateur player. Probably the most remarkable part cf the week©s playing was the very indifferent work at Mr. Inman at Ms «wn game who really played but one respectable or fair game at English billiard!) during the entire week. It should not be forgotten that a-t English billiards tt is possible to count eight or nine points in a shot, consequently a run of two cr three hundred at that game is not as difficult to accomplish is a run of 100 at balk line, where erery hot counts tout ono point.

It is a week of such playing that demonstrates or Illustrates to the world what a really great master of billiards the late Frank C. Ives was. He not only challenged John Roberta, of England, at the English game at a time whea Mr. Roberts was the greatest

of English bttUacds -tat defeated him in

London and in New York. Mr. Roberts was prudent enough to play only his own game. It is to be re gretted that Inman and Hoppe did not arrange for two contests, one at each style of game. If only as a matter of curiosity the two games would probably have attracted a larger attendance than their entire week did in New York, for after the second game the grotesque element was more than obvious to the general public.

I think it was William Hoppe who, a few years ago, expressed the desire of playing a series of contests with George Sultan, which should continue for one week, in order that the players might have an oppor tunity of showing the public what they could accom plish in a protracted encounter. I called attention then to the elements of danger in such a proceeding. If the result of each game should be close and ex citing, it is almost certain that the attendance would be large, but if after the nrst or second game tlia result should be one-sided there would be no incentive for the public to see the playing. That is practic-ally. if not in reality, what has develo>peU in these contests between Inman and Hoppe. Nothing but a miracle now can prevent Hoppe from defeating Inman in their sedes of three weeks© playing or 1800 points. In these days of huge rents for public halls, together with various other expenses in the handling of sucln contests, the greater the charge for admission is. the less money there will be in the house, unless in a city like New York, where one , contest is likely to do well, providing it is known that the game is likely to be dose and exciting. The exact opposite has been the rule so far between Inman and Hoppe. two of the world©s ©foremost experts at their own -game. Should Mr. Hoppe win, it is not at all probable that tliere will bo much money coming to him after the expenses f.re paid. It will teach him a lesson however that he is not likely to forget, and for the future of his pro- fessaonal career he may be more than satisfied with one-night contests.

It is publicly announced that Welker Cochran, the; IG-year-old billiard player, has been engaged to play© in the league of professional billiard players, who aie to star in the different cities of this country and Canada for a season of seven months, commencing in the early part of the present. Fall. This will make ten players in the professional league. It is not neces sary here or now to sketch the past life of this boy expert, as he has been more than extensively written up during the past two or three years. Like the late Frank C. Ives, lie is a production of the West, but seems to ba more premature as an expert than Ires was. Young Cochran, aa an expert, recalls the parly life of William Hoppe, although from all accounts the present youngster, Cochran, is a much greater player at his present age than Hoppe was at 16. The present youngster has a record of making an average of. 40 at 18-2 balk-line, while he has made runs of 150 or more at that game. As a matter of fact, such work so far cannot be regarded as records, but it is more than evident that this boy©expert is one of the marvels of the billiard world for his age; and it is evi dent that, the manager of the professional league is quite Justified in placing him in such a professional schooling.

It would be one of the sarcasms of Fate if this youngster, Cochran, should be the first to defeat Hoppe. He is 12 years younger thai. Hoppe or Cal vin Demarest. and four years younger, or more, than Jacob Schaefer, Jr. I am not aware of the age of that soporific expert, Koji Yamada, who probably ranks in y?ars or antiquity with Hoppe and Demarest, who at least are professionally such compared with Coch ran and young Schaefer. The fact should not be for gotten that it is not so easy to defeat Hoppe as most people imagine. As a matter of fact, Mr. Hoppe i&

yet is but a mere youngster. Demarest has for years past been looked on as the most likely of our ex perts to defeat him, but up to the present time has not been able to do so. This, however, is no reason why he should not do so later on, and it will be a public disappointment if he shall not do so in the near future. In my opinion Yamada is probably the most dangerous rival that Hoppe has to encounter in the very near future. Schaefer is somewhat ahead of his time, while the coming season may predict the professional standing of the boy, Cochran, who at best as yet is an unknown element in the professional billiard world.

It Is a question If any one at the present day can predict what effect the Wats in Europe will have on the billiajxl business in the countries engaged in what is probably the most criminal war in the world©s history In view of the fact that we are now living in the twentieth, century, when even the apolosry for statesmen on the thrones of Europa should know that, in political wisdom, their coachmen could not a lord to exchange places with them, if they hoped to con tinue to command the respect of their fellow men, wliich would be an impossibility, were they the perpe trators of a crime which has practically paralyzed the entire civilixel world. While scarcely two months old, the war. as I write, has already had its effects on the billiard world of this country. Although the war is SOflO miles away, and, happily for this country, is no business of ours, as far as bloodshed is con cerned. Although the world©s conditions are such at the present day that while we are ap independent nation, it is consoling to know that while we may suffer taxation in the increase of certain goods, the bone and sinew of America, are not to be destroyed, and in that thought or consciousness we can more than defy any. temporary advance in goods, no mat ter how unpleasant it may be to be obliged to do so.

Strange and odd as it may seem, little Belgium, which up to the present writing has shown greater fighting qualities than practically the foremost nation now at war, has been the country which has supplied the billiard world with first-class cloth almost from time .immemorial. It is certain that it has furnished this country with that very important articde since the introduction of the game in America. In view then of this fact, it is but natural to expect that during the present European wars there must of necessity be a great scarcity or paucity of simonies cloth in this country. At the same time it should not be overlooked that the present wars are of so monumental a charac ter that they are not likely to last long. According to published statements, the cost of these wars is not less than $50,000,000 each day, to make no refer-

©enee to the loss of human lives, and the destruction of private property. In view of such facts the war or wars, must of necessity be at their worst but brief, unless all of the leaders engaged in them are hope lessly insane.

Taking these views into consideration, it would be more than imprudent on the part of American manu facturers to take advantage of such conditions by ad vancing, to any marked extent, the price of first clasi billiard cloth. As a matter of actual fact, the room- keepers, and I refer only to first class resorts, cannot afford to become the victims of the political mounte banks who are on the thronea of Europe, any more so than to the commercial greed of American manu facturers who are but too anxious to take advan tage of the present condition of the market. The roomkeepers of this country would not only be justified in clinging to their present outfit of cloth, in the event of anything like extortionate prices on the part of American manufacturers, but is is a Question if Uu public which plays billiards would not approve »t auch action on the part of roomkeepera for the time being.

rather than tolerate such an advance in the price of cloth which might be more than serious to the owners of public rooms, especially when such a con dition might be extortionate, or practically so, to roomkeepers.

On the other hand, it is more than well known that there are several places in this country, at the present day. where billiard cloth is manufactured, and if necessary, this article should be resorted to, if only as a matter of self-preservation. I am not familiar with tha quality of the billiard cloth that is manu factured in this country, but it has been the opinion in the past that all first-class rooms should hare what is known as Simonis one cloth. Present conditions may be such during this calamitous European war as to make it impossible for the time being to furnish such an article. This should be an excellent time to test the merit of the billiard cloth made in this country. This country, at the present day, la mor» than surfeited with cheap billiard rooms, and in view of this fact, it is almost certain that there will be a demand on the part of the cheap rooms for the American brand of cloth. Manufacturers should look to it and see that this demand may not extend to the first-class rooms. Should such be the case with any degree of success, it might in tha future be largely instrumental in destroying In thia countiy tho European market for cloth.

What I have written of billiard cloth la eaaally applicable to ivory billiard balls. The truth is, that the billiard business in this country is about on a, par with the present wars ia Europe commercially speaking. It now remains to be seen if the game of commercial blood shall continue in this country as the game of physical blood exists in Europe.

THOMAS S. DANDO. EDITORTHOMAS D. EICHTKE. ASSISTANT EDITOR

Trap Shooting ChangesPRESIDENT DREW, OF INTER

STATE OUTLINES HIS IDEA

•rPhiladelphia Trap League

Head of Governing Body Places His Plans for Benefitting the Sport Before Amateurs for Their Discussion*

In this season of reconstruction, when the lessons of the waning trap shooting season, one of the greatest in the history of that great pastime, are being borne home to the thou sands of sportsmen the country over, there is naturally considerable speculation as to what changes could be made in the shooting code to further improve and popularize the sport, and as to what attitude the officials of the Inter state Association, the governing body of trap shooting take toward these alterations. For years, "Sporting Life" has been in the fore in the quest for the ideal trap shooting con ditions. Every season it has studied the sub ject from all angles, co-operating with the Interstate Association and with the rank and file of the trap shooters themselves, asking and publishing opinions on all sides of the various controversies and arguments that arose. We have seen the great pastime of trap shooting gradually molded into a form that is steadily and surely bringing it to the front rank of the world©s great athletic recrea tions by this yearly study and discussion. This year "Sporting Life©© has taken a still further step forward. It publishes herewith in the next two columns the views and sug gested

CHANGES IN THE TRAP SHOOTING code of Frank G. Drew, President of the In terstate Association, the man who has been at the helm in guiding this great body of trap shooters through their wonderful 1914 season. This is the first time that a presi dent of the Interstate Association has given publicity to his views in advance of an Inter state Association meeting, but Mr. Drew does it in the belief that the trap shooters of the country will, through "Sporting Life," be given a chance to study and discuss the changes which he believes necessary to the sport and which he will urge at the annual meeting of the Interstate Association, in De cember, in New York. He wants the men who make and support the great sport of trap hooting to have the opportunity of saying whether these changes should be made, and if not, what should be the policy for the com ing year. The President of the Interstate Association has been a

CLOSE STUDENT OF TRAP SHOOTING for many years. He has followed it closely and has been in constant touch with the other Interstate Association officials, men of author ity and standing in the sport and with the amateur shooters themselves, so that what he proposes is the result of many years of re flection and study modified or changed by the varying course of the sport in that time. He firmly believes that the various suggested changes such as the introduction of class shooting as a universal thing, the donation of trophies only, the broadening of trap shooting through the building up of the State Associa tions and the elimination of anything that smacks of commercialism will bring about a new era in trap shooting and place the sport on a higher and broader plane than it has ever before occupied. Mr. Drew does not insist that these suggested changes are "cure-alls," but he believes that the trap shooters will de termine this point. They are given to "Spott ing Life" alone, of all the shooting journals, to be presented to the trap shooting fra ternity, as this publication has always been the

SPOKESMAN FOR ALL MOVEMENTS to improve trap shooting. When the Presi dent of the Interstate Association finally sent "Sporting Life" the corrected and authori tative list of his views for publication he sent along with it a letter, excerpts from which are appended herewith, as showing some of the ideas of the Interstate leader on thap shoot ing subjects:

"New Hay§n, Conn., October 7, 1914. Dear Mr. Richter: I am a strong advo cate of the trade representative, who has done and is now doing so much to fur ther interest in trap shooting and who has many opportunities to make himself » great help in the direction of creating interest in trap shooting. There is a Splendid field for this type of represen tative in the direction of assisting in organizing gun clubs and in the conduct of tournaments and in many other ways to the extent that I feel he is a great help to the game.

"I do not want it to appear that I am in any way antagonistic to the profes sional shooter, although I am bitterly op posed to the injection of commercialism into the game on every hand by trade representatives and to the interference in any way with the progress of tourna ments by acts of commercialism; also I

FRANK G. DREWPresident of the Interstate Association,

HIS VIEWS1. Clear way for class shooting in all but state championships,

subsidiary handicaps and Grand American Handicap.2. Donate all trophies instead of part moneys and part tro

phies.3. Strengthen State Associations. Eventually give State Asso

ciations right to register tournaments, so that numbers can be tremendously increased.

4. Seek to eliminate all commercialism.5. Wipe out all proselytizing.

OPENING SHOOT FINDS EIGHT CLUBS SETTING HIGH SCORES

All conditions operated to make the open- ing- shoot of the Philadelphia Trap Shooters© League, on the grounds of four of the clubs, on October 10, an unqualified success in every partieula*. The attendance was excellent, the scores ranged high, and the contests of the entire eight clubs close. With Summer weather and an absence of wind and other score-destroying elements, the tally shoot showed every club breaking better than 400 targets. Camden Shooting Association led all for the day with 462. The high individual score was a 49, made by E. B. Springer, of Camden. The four winning teams in order of the number of targets broken were: Camden, Du Pont, Meadow Spring and Clearview. Th» standing of the clubs, with targets broken, follows:

Conditions were prefect and the new Lansdale clubhouse proved amply adequate to accommodate the spectators and shooters. The Meadow Spring shots won by bunching a number of high scores. Despite the fact that Harry Sloan, the star, fell to 43, the visitors rallied when Crestman broke 48 out of 50. Good and N. Beaver followed with scores of 47.

I Want Some of

The Black ShellsTHE BLACK SHELLS primer

gives a hotter and more uniform flame than any other because it has none of the ordinary mer cury and ground glass. Mercury is heavy glass is light. Judge the difficulty of combining theni evenly, so that each tiny cap load shall be uniform.

A big per cent of your misses has been due to varyipg primers and to nothing else. Our prim ing mixture is a strictly chemi cal combination and must be uniform. Again, ground glass absorbs 16% of the heat, while our priming materials are all combustible and so increase the heat,

To reach th©e main charge the primer flfirue goes through the flash-passage which in THE BLACK SHJQKLS is twice the ordi nary size. This again means increased speed, because twice as much of the primer flame rushes directly into the main charge.

The third of THE BLACK SHELLS big advantages is a perfection of water proofing that is unknown to other shells. Fog, rain and ducking don©t make them misfire or swell.

Send for booklet and learn about other Modernisms of THE BLACK SHELLS.

There are three of THE BLACK SHELLS-- Romax for black pow4?.r 5 Climax and Ajax for Smokeless.

22 SPORTING LIFE OCTOBER 17, 1914

«* No matter what happens, you will find a record of it in "Sporting Life.

APPEAL TO SPORTSMEN

HE American Game Protective and Propa- * gation Association, which has been doing snch a fine work for tha sportsmen of this country, now finds it necessary to make an ap peal for support in order that this great cam paign can be carried to completion. The mes sage of President John B. Burnham follows:

"The national movement for game pro tection and propagation has never before needed the loyal support of its friends as it does now. We are witnessing a world war, and the disposition of practi cally every one is to retrench in all ex penditures. While we regard this an. a natural impulse, we would remind the sportsmen and conservationists of the country that steady, persistent and un interrupted work is necessary to carry out the extensive conservation program that the American Game Protective Asso ciation has undertaken. This work cannot be taken up and left off at will. The passage of the Federal Migratory Bird Law, resulting chiefly from the efforts of this Association, was only the beginning of the great national campaign that the sportsmen of this country have entrusted this organization with. For one thing, an important fight to save this law must be waged in the United States Supreme Court, and the country is looking to this organization, the recognized parent of the law, to see to its safeguarding. During the Summer just ended, unremitting work has been carried on in Canada in con nection with our campaign for a treaty providing protection for all birds that migrate between this country and that. Similar treaties will have to be nego tiated from time to time with our neigh bors to the South. Forty-three State legislatures convene in January, this be ing the "on" year. Game propagation experimentation is in its infancy here. This Association is the one national in stitution that is devoting itself whole heartedly to giving a real stimulation to this important branch of wild life con servation. Many other things of equal importance might be cited but enough has been said to show conclusively, we think, that there should be no faltering in support of the work of the American Game Protective Association. We believe the business situation has already taken en a more encouraging aspect. Our coun try is too rich in natural resources, too full of faith in its future and too bounti fully supplied with earnest, constructive manhood to quail before any situation it may be called upon to meet, pur faith is strong that the good fight for wild life protection will be continued. Remit tances may be forwarded to W. S. Has- keU, treasurer, 233 Broadway, New York City. Membership in the Association is as follows: Supporting, $1 upwards; Club, $5 upwards.; Associate, $25; Sus taining, $100; Life, $250. We call upon the sportsmen of America to remember their plain duty and see that the fight for wild life conservation is waged with un abated vigor. Very truly yours. John B. Burnham, President."

A PROBLEM FOR FUTURE

T HE season of registered tournaments has about run its course for 1914, but few

remaining to be decided. This has been the finest season in the history of the new regis tration method and amply attests the satis faction of the shooters with the new condi tions. This year the country was thoroughly covered by these shoots; and it is hard to see how the Interstate Association can handle any more than at present.

A PROSPERING SPORT

OTHER pastimes as well as businesses may have felt a depression during the past

year, but trap shooting, like the good sport that it is, lias come forward by leaps and bounds. Never before in the history of this great pastime has it been in healthier con dition, all assertions to the contrary notwith standing. "Sporting Life" has indisputable evidence that not only has the attendance and number of tournaments been far in excess of last year, but what is more important, the number of trap shooters has been increased by more than 50,000 and fhe number of gun clubs by hundreds. Such a growth is nothing short of marvelous, and indicates the tremen dous hold that this sport is taking on the sportsmen of America. At its present rate of growth it will be but a few years when the number of regularly organized gun clubs will be far in excess of clubs devoted to any one other sport, a condition that will soon rate trap shooting in the foreground of Ameri can sports. In the first six months of 1914 alone, more than 500 new gun clubs were or ganized with an average membership of 30 shooters. This makes a total of more than 15,000 new members for these new clubs, while three times that many have been

fcrwight into th» foML by tho regularly «rgan- ixed gun clubs. The record-breaking Grand American Handicap was, then, not merely an unusual expression of trap shooting enthusi asm, but a natural indication of the continued growth of the sport. Every year finds it big-© ger, better and stronger, and more deserving of support.

TRAP SHOOTING CHANGESContinued from twentieth page

am opposed to professionalism as©it ap plies to participation in any tournaments or any event scheduled for amateurs only, and by this I mean officially paid manu facturers© representatives and the "so- called" amateur who may receive con cessions of any kind from any manufac turer.

"Further, I wish to add my views upon the question of ex-professionals par ticipating in amateur events. I favor a change in the rules, making it necessary for an ex-professional to have been out of the professional ranks five years to be eligible to participate as an amateur. With kind regards, I remain, Yours very truly, F. G. Drow, President, Interstate Association."

TIME TO COME FORWARD Shooters who have the love of trap shoot

ing in their hearts, can do their favorite pastime a great benefit if they will follow the suggestion of the President of the Interstate Association, and freely and dispassionately express their views upon the suggested changes. It ill befits any sportsman to criti cize the sport or its conduct and then re fuse to give his aid and advice when an ef fort is being made to bring the sport to the highest possible plane. In the second and third columns of page 20, beneath Mr. Drew©s suggested changes, is published a coupon, with appropriate blank spaces, in which we solicit the vote or opinion of the shooters. If they will send these either to "Sporting Life, or Mr. Drew, they will be of value in determin ing the course that should be pursued in the HANDLING OF SHOOTERS© PROBLEMS.

Those shooters who desire to express their views more at length than the coupon will permit are invited to write their opinions to any reasonable length and "Sporting Life" wiM be pleased to publish them. The more light that can be thrown on the subject the better off will it be. The number of weeks that intervene between this issue and the meeting of the Interstate Association are not many, and it is to be hoped that the shooters reading "Sporting Life" will get into action early and show the proper appreciation of the generous action of President Drew in placing his ideas in the hands of the amateur shooters of the country for their discussion and to de termine their final desposition. This is the finest ch.ance the shooters have ever had to be heard in defence of their favorite theories and we feel certain that they will take full advantage of it.

ABOUT SHOOTERSNot too Personal, But Just Personal Enough

Gossip and Comment About Sportsmen Whom the Lovers of Shooting Know in Person or Through the Medium of Fame.Great interest has been awakened in the

Old Home Week registered shoot of the Du Pont Trap Shooting Club, to be held on October 17, at Wilmington, Del. The pro gram consists of 100 targets. There are a number of features, including the extra event at ten pairs, the Joker, Jr., trap, the State team race, and an exhibition race at 50 dou bles between Lester S. German and W. Schuy- ler Colfax.

High general average at Ashland, Pa., on September 29, was won by Neaf Apgar, with Peters factory-loaded shells. Score: 170x175.

Secretary Jack Waltz, of the Central Penn sylvania Trap Shooters© League, came down from Altoona, Pa., for the second game of the World©s Series, at Philadelphia, between the Athletics and Boston. He announced the most successful season of his league and predicted that next year would find 12 clubs in the league circuit. If that materializes the Central Pennsylvania League will have the largest circuit in the country.

The tournament at Indianapolis, September 30-October 1, was a walkover for Peters "steel where steel belongs" shells. High gen eral average and high amateur average were won by Bart Lewis, 296x300, while Woolfolk Henderson, winner of the 1914 Grand Ameri can and single and double target champion ships, tied for second, 293x300. Among the professionals, W. D. Stannard was high, 289x 300; W. R. Chamberlain second, 287. All of these gentlemen shot the "P" brand.

Three of the Athletic base ball team are going to Maine for a hunting trip as soon as the World©s Series is completed. They are Jack Coombs, the big pitcher; catcher Lapp

THE HUNTERS

Ph*lrTha stag at ere had drunk his fillAnd laughed beside a rippling rillWhile hunters through the woodland spedAnd shot, each other full of lead."How"glad I am," the staglet spoke, .< "That I am not ; a human bloke.For fifty-seven other men ;Would follow me through glade and glMAnd shoot m« fifty times or moreAnd let me perish in my gore.But, toing is I am, a deer, |There isn©t anything to fear,For hunters colrfly pass me byAnd look at ms with vacant eye,"And through the woodland glad*s he spedTo leam how many guides were dead.

and pitcher Shairkey. Jack Coombs, in New York, recently asked advice of Tom Keller, the veteran sportsman, as to a good hunting trip and the Maine itinerary was advised.

Lincoln won first prize in the tournament of the Central Illinois Trap Shooters© League, which closed on October 8. Mt. Pulaski was second and Bloomington third. E. K. Croth- ers, of Bloemington, made the best amateur record, breaking 279 out of 300 targets.

Secretary H. L. Jillson, of the Pinehurst, N. G., Gun Club is distributing programs for the annual Midwinter handicap, which is slated for January 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, 1915. As usual, 200 targets will be shot each day, with the preliminary handicap on the third regular day and the Midwinter handi cap the last day.

Recently, at the tournament held by the Riverside Gun Club at Rochester, N.© Y., Mrs. H. Harrison, the wife »f the well-known sportsman of that city, wa* high over all with the good score of 119x125. She shot Western field shells©, loaded with 22 grains Ballistite, one and one-eighth shot, which shows conclu sively that the ladies and those who enjoy shooting the lighter load can do so and break their targets if they only point their guns right.

During the two days© registered shoot September 30, October 1 held, by the Indian apolis Gun Club, at Indianapolis, Ind., Roy H. Bruns, of Brookville, Ind., shooting the Black shells, broke 143x150 the first day, and on the second day broke_ the entire program of 150x150 without a miss, making an unfinish ed run of 185 straight. This established an amateur record for the Indianapolis grounds, and the breaking of 150 targets straight by an amateur is also one of the best records for the United States this year.

The Hercules Gun Club, of Temple, Pa., scheduled a white flyer race for December 12. This event calls for 20 flyers open to all amateurs; handicap 27 to 30 yards rise. Fly ers will b« mailed by Secretary A. K. Ludwig in time for the event.

The West pollingswood, N. J., Gun Club held its opening shoot on October 10, each contestant having 30 shots. W. E. King ex hibited the best marksmanship of the many who contested, breaking 27. R. H. Predmore was second with 25, and Charles Sutterlin took third honors, breaking 24. Others who did not go below 20 are Fred W. Gercke, 23; H. Brewin, 21, and George Grant, 20.

Fred©Plum, of Atlantic City, N. J., was high gun at the tournament held in that city, Octo ber 2, scoring 98 out of 100. H. Powers and H. Cook, both of Atlantic City, were tied for second with 96 each. All three used Reming- ton-U. M. C. shells, and the winning gun was a Remington pump. . .

At a meeting held in Rockford, Ills., the four gun clubs of Rockford, Beloit, Capron and Janesville organized a league for intercity shoots. The first tournament was held on October 13, at Janesville, the second is sched uled for October 27, at Capron, the third at Beloit, on November 10, and the fourth on November 24, at Rockford.

The Camden, Shooting Association conducted the ninth annual South Jersey championship shoot at Camden, N. J., October 3. The pro gram consisted of four 25-target events, with Interstate rules governing a record list of entries attending. Fred Tomlin, of Glassboro, N. J., was high gun, with 98 out of 100. W. Crane, of Hammonton, N. J., and H. Anthony, of Riverton, were close up with 97 each. Fourth place honors were divided between Dr. W. H. Mathews, of Trenton, Clarence Platt, of Bridgeton, N. J., and F. Hineline, of Col- lingswood, N. J., with 96 each. Remington- 11. M. C. speed shells were used by all the above noted winners.

George Dabler, secretary of the Rockford Gun Club, was high amateur gun at the ten- man team match between Rockford, Ills., and Beloit, Wis., held September 22, at Rockford. He broke 91x100. The runner-up was C. B! Helm, another Rockford man,© his score beinir 89.

The finals of the Capital City Rod and Gun Club, of Salem, Ore., were held on the after noon of September 29. P. O©Brien, of Port land, scored an easy win with 291 out of a possible 300. In turning in this score, O©Brien accomplished a most extraordinary feat, scoring a long run of 176.

Good Duck Shooting in IllinoisDuck hunters out along the Illinois River

report excellent sport, although the birds are not numerous. The temperature is not cool enough to start a heavy flight and the sport will not be at its best until later. Mallards are scarce, but teal and wood ducks are plen tiful.
