fc H WORLD'S SERIES IS UPPERMOST THOUGHT IN MINDS OF BASEBALL FANS EXPERIENCE GIVES . MACK'S PITCHERS BIG ADVANTAGE Bender and Plank Have Edge on Tyler, James and Rudolph in All Depart ments of Hurling Game. The main difficulty Iti comparing tlic iAtliletlcs' pitchers with those or the Nor ton Braves Is that It Is Impossible to j predict with ceitnltily which ones will get Into the world's series. Naturally, If the entire squad Is compared. It will bo a useless comparison, as all of the eligible pitchers arc not going to take part. It Stalling' hmlcrs can withstand thu terrific smashing of the Athletics, Tylur, James and Uudolph will be the trio used. Hut If one or more of them meets the fate which the Giants' tossers, Demarce, Tcsroau, Mnniuard and Crandall, met nt the last world's scries at least one of the second-string men will have to be called on. Which one of his looser lights Slalllngs would call on In case of an emergency Is hard to say. lie might do what Connie Mack did last season send a youngster In. Connie llgurtd that Hush would bo Just the man to heat the Giants, und he was. So Stnlllngs might conclude that "No-HIt" lleorse Davis could turn the tide of battle. Yet the chances are that Otto Hess or Strand Would bo slvcn an opportunity to meet the enemy before this other youngster j cr any other man on the start. There- ' fore, the only thing definite that can Ire said about the Uraves pitchers as a whole Is that Tyler, James and Uudolph will each be started, Inuring accidents. When the Athletics' pitchers are con sidered, "It Is even more dltlicult to ar rive nt a possible conclusion. Kvety one knows that Hender and Plank will again bear the brunt of the tight. Hut who will assist them, if any one. Is not known. "Joe" Hush may be sent at them; "Bob" Ehawkey may get his llrst world's series chance, or "Rube" Utcssler, the most Inexperienced of the regular twlrlcrs, might be called upon. Shuwkey and Bush are the most probable men to begin one of the game outside of the two veterans. So it narrows down to a point where only Bender and Plank can bo compared with P.udolph, Tyler and James. Those Jtve men will do practically all of the pitching In the coming world's series. This makes It unnecessary to go Into an extended comparison of the second string men. There Is n saying among base ball followers that a "club is as strong as Its substitutes." No matter whether thatHa true or not. it applies only to n reason and not to a short seven-game ceries. There nro two things that a pitcher Heeds more than anything else experi ence and nerve. Experience implies con trol, because a man without control will Mot get the chance to have much experi ence on a major league ball club, a fact demonstrated in the caso of Houck, for merly of the Athletics, but now with the Brooklyn Federals. This being the case, look over the five men who are suro to .work tit the world's series and noto their major league experience. Tyler has had four years. Uudolph two ytars. James two years. , i Bender twelvu" jcars. Plank fourteen years. The vast difference In the experience of the Braves' hurlcrs and the Athletics does not end with the years they have taken nart in mnlor 1pucii mniMiq !-' ""'oriel's series experience counts for uch. None of the Boston nltchers have er been In a woild'o series. What z'lank and Bender have dono In theo post-season struggles Is well known to " the public. They have proved themselves capable of carrying; off the laurels against the greatest pitchers in the world and they are fit to do It again. However, they will not likely he called on to pitch against such a wizard as Mathowson this time, as none of tho Braves approach the class of the most famous hurler In the National League. As for the averages of 10H they have little bearing on the mattor. In fact, the only averages available are those figured on the old basis of games "won" and "lost." This method Is entirely out of date. The new system of tlpmlng the number of enrned runs per game, show ing much neater the actual ability, la the only one which Justifies a use of figures at all. No one can have a "come Vack" argument on this score, because the figures to date show that as a com blnation Bender and Plank have a hetter percentage than their Boston rivals. We have In a previous article at tempted to show the futility ot figures as k correct basis for Judging baseball trength. This Is even more marked in - pitching than In any other department of play. Every fan well knows that a pitcher may bo credited with a "win" or a "loss," which, on its faie, looks to be (wholly unjust, but which must ho cred ited that way because of the fixed rules. Take for example the records of "Joe" Bush and "Buhe" Mnrquard last season. 'Joe" won 13 and lost 7, he allowed 3 57 earned runs per game ...aniunid won S3 and lost to, he allowed by 2.5 earned Tuns per game. Yet the .Uhlctlc young eter not only went through an entire '-jc-round same against the Giants, but won It Maniuaid. on the other hand, m 'l neither. This shows beyond tho W. ,adow of a lurking doubt that to de ;nd on the pitching figures for the year i nnmnarlnsr the nltchers for a world's 'lies Is an nnsurimy. UlthouKh Mathewson and other com petent pitchers may tell the Braves' pltrh eTSlH they know about the weaknesses ofjfthe Athletics' batsmen, It is a safe proposition inai wnen mo series uegins next Friday, Bender and Plank will jjnbw far more about the Uraves" weak nesses than the Braves will about theirs. a ....... t thin la that Ticnilar anil ri'ank will have a greater field to cover InVclUcoverlns the weak spots In the rtf.. than th.lr opponent,. , Finy club which does not possess fiavy hitting line-up Is more than i rt ' iS be defeated by either Bender or Plank. jfre on days whe the lelewi, Athletic Itohers haven't their regulation amount t snap, iney Know so mucn anoui tne t'of pitching that they can get away lb same where a youngster would lost in two Innings.

If Rudolph, Tyler and James wore being abstractly compaicd with Hender ana Pl.iuk, it would be enough to say. If that conclusion were reached, that the Uraves' trio were considerably Inferior to the Athletics' pair. But that Is not Mitllclent In the present catc. This brings up the following point: Granting that the Ilcldlng of the Braves und Athletics is going to be eciual, which we by no menns grant, the Athletics have a big "edge" on the Hoston club because of their superior hitting ability. If this is true, which we believe even the most nrdent Hrnve rooter will admit, the pitching dcpendables of George Stall Ings will have to be far better than Hen der and Plank to get nwny with as good a game as the Athletics' duo. This in turn means that the hurlers who fnee the Athletics in the coming series have a far harder fight on their hands than they have before encountered, and If two out of three go through a full game, beaten or victorious, it will be a great surprise as well as an actual or moral triumph, whlchecr the case may be. .Summed up, disregarding the element of luck which may play an Important part In so short a scries, Hender und Plank have an "edge" on the Bravts' hurlers which is nearly as great as they had over the Giants last season Appended are brief sketches of the five pitchers, along with their major league records, scored on the basis of games "won" and "lost": Hlchard Uudolph was born In New York City 1SMI.

The return of Harold Kelly to the Uni te rally of Pennsylvania will probably menu more to the Quaker track toam than to the football team. Kelly was a good end In football, but he was a better man at the quarter-mile nnd the broad Jump. Ills return Is especially pleasing ti Captain Llpplncott, Meredith and Lock- wood, of the track team, for It will give this quartette of men another chance to make a new wot Id tccord In the one mile relay. Last spiing these four men looked cer tain to rstabllh new intercollegiate nnd world llgurcs for this event. But they encountered nil kinds of obstacles. First Kelly pulled u tendon nnd had to stop training, then Meredith contracted the measles. Tho result was that the Quakers hnd to meet Harvard In the relay car nival with a new team. These same four men will probably make up the Quakers' one-mile Indoor and outdoor telny tinin, and under piopcr conditions they will ptobnbly smash both records. Conch Or ton contenjs that tills team can run the mile In .1 minutes 17 seconds. Meredith. Llpplncott and Lockwood can average 49 seconds each, nnd Kelly can do DO sec ons. Kelly, In nddltlon to being a good quar-ter-mllcr. Is also a good broad Jumper. In his freshman year he did nearly 23 feet. Last spring Orton wouldn't let him Jump because of his pulled tendon. CHANEY MEETS KLINE Crnck Featherweight Boxers to Battle at National Tonight. Tho crowning featherweight bout of the reason will be staged tonight nt Jack McOulgan's N'atlonnl A. C.

These boys will both enter the ring with tho deter mination of coming out a winner, and It will be a bout worth going miles to see. A great preliminary card will precede the main bout. "Frankle" Cnrlin, of Tren ton, meets "narney" McFarland, of Richmond; "Mickey" Donnelly, of New ark, tackles "Bobby" loughrey, of Southwark; Stanley Hlncklti will oppose "Joe" Welsh, and "Willie" Mack will battle "Jimmy" Murray. "Mike" GlbbonF, the welterweight champion, is still resting at his home In St. Paul. "Mike" was quoted recently as saying he would box "Jimmy" Clabby. who returned from Australia a few necks ago. but when the question of money was made to him. tho champion wanted so much that the promoters refused to meet his demands nnd the match fell through. Clabby Is the only man who could make It Interesting for Gibbons, as he could make the weight and be very strong. ClaDby is- very clever and uses a left Jab which would keep Gib bons busy trying to avoid. He has also the speed of the St. Paul boxer and has been used to long routes, taking part In many bouts In the Antipodes "Jim" Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, Betms to hae strvuk a v. Inning streak.

PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT A dozen years ago young Mike decided It was time to hike awny from home to see If baseball couldn't keep him fed. He wandered where Ma Fortune led nn' hit Schenectady. Tlun back to Springfield, O-hlgh-O, great stories soon began to Mow ot Mike's heroic stunts. An' when the Cubs signed Mike tho town went dog gono nearly upside down they all went bugs nt once, ' Mike played in Cublnnd quite a while, till Kvers led him to tho stile an' turned it nfter him. Last year that was. uut Pit ate Clark decided Mike still had some spark that might be made less dim. Well, Mike an' Pittsburgh didn't hitch, an' so he made another switch a couple months ago. He went to Koxey Griffith's clan when Griff was dyln' for a man tp, work In left an' show. They'd written It. I. P. on Mike. The experts didn't think It like he'd last the season out. Come back? Why, say, he's like a colt. His lleldin' took nn upward bolt an' how that mnn did clout! I don't think Mike could tell himself what's saved him from the hasbecn shelf. It's pretty hard to say. Tho change o' leagues it may have been but Mike don't do no worryln." He says he's back to stay. By A. M. Corrigan. Mayor Hlankenburg is a man of fore sight. He congratulated the Hraves be fore the world's series. The record for tho 220-yard dash has again been equaled. G. Parker, of the University of California, tied the mark of 21 1-5 seconds, established by Dan Kclley and Inter tied by Howard Drew, the colored frprlnter. Connie Mack's thoughtful, almost had, countenance caused most people to think that tho Athletic leader was without a scne of humor. But he showed himself uthemir-e yesterday, when he sent Wcl don Wyckoff In to pinch hit against Washington. A well-known New York dally hns this headline today: "Brlckley Stars as Drop Kicker." "Al" Sharpe, the popular Phlladelphlan, and at present the coach of the Cornell eleven, before today's game wns muoUiI as saying that the Ithacans would grind Colgate to pieces. Probably make tal cum powder out of them. No one ha3 yet had tho nerve to say that Shawkey and Oldrlng are about "to sign a life contract." Luckily for Shawkey "The Lady of the Tiger" Is said to be without reserve claws. closed In this section, there are many sportsmen who will not give up their play until snow covers the ground. Only this morning, at a downtown office, a well-known golf enthusiast was burnish ing his putter Instead of putting It away. Harry Stone, one of the clever New York lightweights. Is eager to get a match with Dentist Leach Cross. Maybe Harry will not bo so eager after ho has had a prance or two with the shifty D. D. S.

Activities Abroad v. and at Home in Sunday's Intaglio An ingenious camera soldier found that Russian censorship is not impregnable. You'll see it, page-wide, in Sunday's In taglio the first actual photograph of the Czar's firing line in Galicia. Submarines, artillery equipment and a full page of shell-wrecked cathedrals complete the theatre-of-war scenes. A page each of the Bryn Mawr Horse Show, thrills of the new aquaplane, examples in Colonial doorways and Philadelphia booked actresses in leading roles, together with snaps of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh and some of the distinguished women in foreign Red Cross work, make up one of the most inter esting Intaglios ever presented. The Sports Magazine features individual photos of every player in an Athletic uniform and in the probable Boston line-up. Harry Davis, in a special article, gives his idea of the worth of a coach when a pennant is at stake. Ty Cobb dis cusses the winning chances of the Athletics and the Braves. George M. Young compares the playing qualities of the two clubs, and George E. McLinn writes on "Tact Versus Force; or, Mack Versus Stallings." Other sports are well repre sented, too, including William H, Rocap's "Who Was Amer ica's Greatest Welterweight?" 3, 1'01'g. HOPPE ONCE MORE YIELDS LEAD TO ENGLISH PLAYER Total at End of Last Night's Play Shows Inman on Top by Big Scores Total for Tourney Stands 3455 to 3285. NEW YORK, Oct. 3. The lead In Ihtr International bllllnrd championship tour ney between Melbourne Inman, tho Eng lish champion, and Willie Hoppe, tho world's best at the balk-line game, has once more shifted, and this morning llnds Inman again on top by reason of hla two overwhelming victories in yester day's games. Tho scoro of the afternoon game wasjj C01 to 118 In favor of the Englishman, while tho evening game resulted In a 600 to 212 victory, with Inman on tho lotig end of the tally. The total Bcoro for the cntlro tournament now stands 3155 to 32S3 in favor of the lntter. Tho nlav was nt lOiiL-llsh billiards, and, as usual, Hoppc's inexperience nt this stylo of the game found him at a disad vantage. The English champion gnve the best exhibition at the English game that he has shown In this country. Ho had two splendid runs, one of 202 In the nfter noon, and topped this with ono of 221 In the final gnme. Hoppe's best effort was a cluster of 57 In tho evening match.
