the Athletics met the Cubs, but Cvers
was unable to play, hence this desire on
the part of fandom to witness the two
great second-sackers was not satisfied.
Collins and Evers nre both firm In the
belief that their respective clubs will bo
victorious In the comlne series. Collins
does not hesitate to sav that the Athletics
wU defeat the Braves He does not fro so
far as to say that the Braves will not set
n came, a belief which mam members of
the Athletics hold, but he does not think
that there xvlll be any great difficulty win
ning the world's title for th fourth time.
Evers, likewise. Is confident that th
Braves will win Just how much confi
dence Evers has Is shown in the appended
statement which he mtve out recently:
"There's a whole flock of players on
the Brave squad who are coiner to be
sensations In the sa.meslth the Ath
letics, or I'll miss my Buess.
"All the regulars will be right on
the job all the wnv through, but soma
of our plnoh hitters and a few of the
young1 pitchers are soln to be worked
In. and they will come through
"Every world's series has brought out
some unknown star, but I have a hunch
that the coming one will bring out more
than any yet played.
"I feel It In m bones that the Braves
are going to win.
"I've played on a good many cham
pion teams, and worked through three
world's series, and I never was on a
team that looks ahead to It like the
Braves do.
"Most players begin to get nervous
when the time rolls around. I know I
do myself But I'm the only man on
the whole outfit who feels that way.
Of course, none of the others have been
through It like I have and they don't
Jtnow just what they're up against
"But even so. Confidence Is half the
IraUle, and the Braves are chock full
of It. In fact, they're anxious to have
tlve series come around, so that they can
measure wallops with the other cham
pions. "When a team goes into any series
sure of winning and without the slight
est fear of the result as the Braves will
against the Mackmen, that team is a
mighty good team to trail along with
"The old Chicago White Sax, who beat
the Oubs In 1906, had something of tho
same feeling1, though not nearly so much
as our team has at present.
Tb odds against them were four and
flve to ono before the series, yet they beat
us. and just at a time when that grand
old team of ours was going at Its best
"Our pitchers have proved themselves
again and again during the past couple
of months. It takes a mighty stout
beartsd bunch of twlrlers to hold up
gainst the kind of opposition we have
Jjd to face, but the Braves' hurlers,
even the youngsters, have sailed along
gloriously.

In the following, Knjwood Hroutt, of
tho Nov Yoik Tribune, points out the
superiority of tho Athletics over the
Brave on the bases:
"Boston ltii3 not a slnsrle player who
has stolon mote than 30 bases, while
Kdtlte t'olllnn, of the Athletics, alone
and unaided has piled up a record of 61.
Eddie .Murphy has 3.1 to his credit. At
this point Heriitn Moron with 2S. nnd

continuity of the Mackmen.

li, and Baker. 16. All these crowd In i
ahead of the third man on the Hoston ,
list. who. surprisingly enough, Is Hank
Rowdy, tho catcher. His record Is Just '
io i np team total or the Athletics Is
213. That of the Braves Is 156.
"Paradoxically enouith, a pitchers bat
tle Is often won or lost by the catcher.
V passed ball, a wide thiow or a missed
foul t'me nnd again proves tho turning
point In such a game. Seining will catch
for the AtnlPtics. Hank Gowdy will
catch for the Braves.
"George iitolllngs. In discussing his
team the other day. said, 'dchang was
once with me In tho International League,
and so I have had a chance to compaie
him to Govvdv. Schang 's n fine catcher,
but I hone.tlv believe that he is not Un
equal of Gowdv '
"Stalltngs may have reason for his
choice, but certainly few critics of base
ball will sUIp with him. Gowdy Is a
catcltpr of gicnt promise, but Schans Is
a finished artist.
Gowdv is a tremendously free hitter,
although he does not boast a great aver
age, and Is likely at any time to turn
trie tide lu a gamo with a long smash,
but exactly tlie samo thing may be said
of Schang
"Given Gowdy on a bad day, there Is
nn worso catcher In either league. In
one gamo against tho Giants he muffed
two "-mis. was charged with two passed
balls i -l made three wild throws to
head off "hase-runners
"Friends of the long, lank catcher say
thnt his bad das come only when thev
don't count and that the tighter tho
3im the bettPf hp catches. Gowdy may
prove tho Fame sort of surprise that Ira
Tromas did against the Cubs In 1910,
but on the bnsls of form Schang Is the
better man.
"It Is said that bas,e running has never
played a large part In a world's series,
but this year, which Is likely to see bet
ter pitching than ever before, there Is
a great chance that daring on the paths
may bring the declslvo runs. Gowdy Is
one of the reasons why the backets of
the Athletics give odds on the result of
the series "
Hire is what four of the Braves de
pendable think of their chances with
the Mackmen in the series:
Shortstop Maranvllle:
"We'll go after the Athlttirs Just Ilka
we did ovcrybody elfe. We've managed
to beat out the National League, and
when vrn play the other champions wp
will follow the samp old policy of fight
ing all the way and never stopping. We
have hitters and everything else that
makes a ball tam, to we're not worry
ing a bit "
Pitcher rtudolph:
'The Braves look good to m as the
next champions. Pitching for them. I've
learned to know just how greit a team
they are The sure certalnlv can come
through, no matter how far they are be
hind And in all their big series they
have been oetter than ever I'nless I'm
awav off, they'll show more against
the Athletics t)mn the Giants over did "
Pitcher James
"If working our heads off is going to
win, we're bound to be the next cham
pions. Every man on the team xpects
to win. and you can't beat that kind of
spirit. When I've pitched for the Braves
they've always been there with the bat
and In the field and I'll be very much
disappointed. If tKey do not even do more
when the hardest test they have to face
comes along "
Fltche,- Tyler-
"For my part of It. I feel sure the
Athletics are due to get a beating. I
have haV a chance to know Just how good
the Braves are No pitcher could help
throvvlnz his arm away to win for them,
they work so hard to help him along
We'll be up against a tough team, but
we've been up against Just that all along
and were still alive and kicking."

Gridiron Gleanings From Leading Colleges
Pennsylvania's Defeat at
Hands of Franklin and
Marshall Eleven Is
of the Fans.
the
By EDWARD B. BUSHNELL
Pennsylvania. Cornell and the Indians
now comprise a select group of the sup
posely "big" teams in the Hast which
have been humbled by elevens Ubually
referred to rather deprocatingly as the
"minor colleges." Cornell has been beaten
In two out of three preliminary games,
Pennsylvania nnd the Indians once each.
Of the three defeats that of 10-0, which
Franklin nnd Marshall administered to
Pennsylvania on Saturday, was the most
unexpected and the most difficult to ex
plain. It was known In advance that
Pittsburgh had more than an even chance
to beat Cornell, and that, given a break
In the luck, Colgate was etiually likely
to beat the Itharans. The -teady rise of
Lehigh among the minor colleges and
the fact that this year's Indian team has
at no time approached tho usual Indian
standard prevented one from being much
surprised over the Itedmen's defeat at
South Bethlehem.
Put nono of these conditions existed at
Franklin Field nor explain the decisive
vlctoiy of r. and M. over Pennsylvania
It was the first time o- ecord that the
Lancaster collegians i beat Pennsyl
vania or even outplned the Ited and
Plue. There have been teams from this
little college which gave tho Quakers
troublesome afternoons, but It can be
said with all fairness to Franklin and
Marshall, and without detracting one Iota
from the credit they deserve, that their
1514 was In no sense superior to tho team
that represented them lam jear. Uven
Coach Maser would confirm this
How, then, can this amailng defeat be
explained' The Pennsj lvunla coaches
and players all had different explanation
for It Saturday night, and thero isn't
much chance of harmonizing their dif
ferences. Therefore, tho observant critic
has to form his own conclusions. Those
the writer presents herewith are based
on a careful study of the team during
the preliminary season, the dally practices
and the two games to date.
Against Franklin and Marshall, Penn
sylvania exhibited two fundamental weak
nesses One was a monotonous and u
ttrlcted attack, the other inability to
execute such rudimentary tnotbail as
catching nnd holding a football, tackling
and providing Interference. This annu
als Is. not meant as criticism of the plav -ers,
the coaching staff or tho methods ot
the coaches It is simply a plain state
ment of faits. The condition of the team
and Its lack of assorted plays may be
due to the determination of the coaches
to develop the team Mowly and with
holding a variety of plays from them until i
later In the season All of this may yet
be corrected
Fumbling and misunderstanding of sig
n'tla were at the bottom of the troubles
on Saturday, but even without these im
portant aids to Franklin and Marshall.
Pennsylvania didn't show an uttack which
was consistent, and the team on more
than one occasion showed signs of de
moralization when Franklin and Mar
shall's stiff defense stopped every attack
The fact la that Pennsylvania used very
few plays, but they employed practically
even thing thy had been taught, though
Interference was poor and the plajs them
selves were poorly executed Their at
tack might be classified as follows-
A line plunge, with Moffett usually bc
lected to batter the line.
A double pass with a run around end
The forward pass.
The forward pass gained 25 yards on Its
one success In nine attempts; the double
pass didn't gain at all, as It did against
Gettjsburg. and even Moffett wasn't so
consistently successful as a week ago.
iw i-ennsivania learn now hag a big
problem ahead of It. to cram the funda
mentals Into their candidates In the short
est possible time, and to teach them
enough new plays to give them a varied
attack. They will need it on Saturday
against so strong a team as Lafayette,
evui If the Eastonlans were held to a
7-T score by Urirfnus. Then next Saturday
comes th Navy, with Swarthmore, the

and It gained ground only once. F. and
Jt. tried the play three times and It failed
each time. The net result of this play
on Franklin Tlcld this year Is 18 attempts,
17 fellures, 1 success.
It must be demoralizing to Cornell to
attempt to build up a winning team for
the big games after losing on successive
Saturdays to Pittsburgh nnd Colgate. The
victory of tho latter team, though, need
not be considered such a surprise, slnco
mis eleven was made up largely of the
samo men who last year held Cornell to
a 0-0 score nnd beat Yale IS to G. The
Indians' decisive beating by Lehigh will
give Cornell hopo for Satuiday.
Tale beat Virginia by three touchdowns,
playing open football, but tho Southern
ers marched down to their goal line half
a dozen tlmefi with the rushing game.
The Ells weren't jatlsfied apparently with
anything but the score. Princeton, too,
had :i busy afternoon with Bucknell, but
won out by 10 to 0. Tlbbott scored his
second drop-kick of the season, and If
he can keep up this record he may chal
lenge even Brlckley, of Harvard. Tho
Hnrvnrd eleven swamped Springfield
Training School, 41-0, and Dartmouth
burled Norwich under a score of 74-0.
Dr. It. Tnlt McKenzle, physical di
rector of tho Pennsylvania University,
who was called to attend Don Carter,
the husky centre, who had his knee dis
located In a scrimmage Saturday, says
Carter will be out of the game for at
least three weeks. Captain Journeay Is
also sufforlng from a badly sprained
arm. Ballou Is In bed with a high tem
perature and Moffett Is limping from a
bad knee.
CAMBHIDGE, Oct. 5. The Harvard
varsity team came out from its strenu
ous game with Springfield without seri
ous Injury, although the regulars were
about all In at the finish and will do
little hard work for a day or two. The
Crimson's backfleld and regular ends
performed satisfactorily, but the middle
of the rush line displayed unlooked for
weakness, particularly on the mldfleld
defense.
ITHACA, Oct. 5. Cornell not only lost
the Colgate game Saturday, but lost
Taber, one of her most promising half
backs Taliers leg Injury will keep him
out of practice for such a length of
time that he will he lost to the team. He
had proved the best ground gainer so far
or nil of the backs
I SOUTH BKTHLEHE.M, Pa . Oct 5,-Ex-cept
for a few minor Injuries all the
i Lehigh team came out of the struggle
i against the Carlisle Indians, Saturday,
in good shape. Resident Coach Keady la
satisfied with the work of the men in
their second contest of the season, al
though he realized that the Indians are

MACK WILL SEND
REGULARS AFIELD
AGAINST YANKEES
Men Getting On Edge to
'Open Series With Braves
Friday Phillies Meet
McGraw's Giants.
This afternoon Tannic Mack's team will
begin to get on edge for the world's se
ries. The icgulars will be back In the
line-up against tho Yankees, nnd It Is
likely that most of 'them will work
throughout the three Barnes of tho series,
Which will be continued through Wednes
day. Today's affair at Shlbe Park will
begin at 3 o'clock.
Thfe entire band of Mackmen. met this
morning at Shlbe Park, whole they held
their dally meeting. Just what went on
Is not known, except to the players, but It
Is n safe bet that they wore not discuss
ing plnns of attack for tho Yankee series.
All of tho men were In good shape and
most of them think that this series with
the Yankees will put them In perfect con
dition to meet the Boston Uiaves on Fri
day afternoon.
Mack's plnycrs assume the verbosity of
a clam when thev are asked whom they
think Connlo Mack will choose to pitch tho
llrst game or whom ho will choose In the
following games. Nevertheless. It Is not
I dlfllcult to "dope out" thnt Chief Bender
will begin nnd that Eddlo Plank will start
i tho second contest. Of course, this ar-
ancement may bo reversed, but with
Bender's ability to quickly recuperate and
bo icndy to go back In tho box, he Is
almost sure to draw tho opening assign
ment. While tho Athletics aro playing the
Yankees today, tho Phillies begin their
final series with tho New York Giants nt
the Polo Grounds. As the Phils nre now
out of the running for fifth place, there
Is practically no local interest in thnt
Eotles.
PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT
In sandlot games since baseball's birth
the kid who copped the pitcher's berth
has been the kingpin guy. A wind-up an'
a roundhouse out they mnko kids stars
without a doubt In nny schoolboy's eye.
Joe Connolly was one of these who made
tho batters fan the breeze back In his
barefoot .days. Until he Joined tho Zanes
vlllo team he didn't shake his pltchln'
dream or drop hts backlot ways.
Joe wound up funny "fore he'd throw.
They calld him Herky Jerky Joe
around the Central wheel. His wins were
big, but major scouts looked on an" left
him. Joe's queer outs somehow did not
appeal. Two jeurs Joe pitched. An'
then he thought If he was goln' up ho
ought Ai try some other place. But
Zanesvllle said ho had to pitch. Joe
said; 'MTU quit or make a switch. It's
flies I want to chase."
They traded him to Torre Haute. He
worked liked blazes till he'd taught him
self to field a ball. He led the league
that year at bat an' right 'away next
year his hat hung up In Cubvllle's hall. To
Montreal they fanned him out. He kept
his battln' av'rage stout an' last yeaf
Joined the Braves, An' now this self-made
outlleld man is champeen slugger of the
clan. Game after game he saves Copy

It Is generally admitted that the A's
second-string men are stronger than tho
BriweB' seconds. Also tho Athletic reg
ulars aie somewhat more finished in their
baseball habits than the Boston jsub
atltutes, which Is more to the point, as
the latter will doubtless be called upon
to do a little duty before the series Is
over.
Ex-llayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, Is the
leading rooter of Boston. In the series
of 1D12, when tho Ited Sox defeated the
GlantB, Fitzgerald, who was then the
city's chief executive, headed the Itoyal
Hooters at each of tho games played at
the Polo Grounds as well as those played
at Fenway Park. This year the same
fan has banded together 200 rooters. He
will bring them to Philadelphia for the
first two gnmes and return for tho fifth
game. If one Is played, Fitzgerald's en
thusiasm In Boston bus been a big boost
for baseball In the Hub.
A new and what seems to bo a splendW
method of developing football players has
been put Into practloe at Harvard by
Coach Percy Haughton. Instead of al
lowing 50 or more scrubs to stand on the
side linen, a. regular schedule has been
arranged for these teams, and the winning
eleven will bo presented with the Percy
Haughton Cup. The Individual members
of the winning team will receive smaller
cups as permanent trophies.
Sherlock Holmes' detective battles will
fade Into speedy oblivion noxt Saturday
when "Nick" Carter, or Penn, clashes
with "Diamond Dick" Diamond, of Lafay
ette. Since Charley Briokley broke into the
game the national anthem of the ni.
skins at Harvard has been "Crossing the
Bar."
This time last year Larry McLean was
calculating how many automobiles hs
would be able to buy with his "serious"
money With only the Yankee-Giants
games to fall back on this fall, we won
der what Larry is figuring on Instead
of machines.
One expert announces that Penrr"s lack
of interference caused her downfall at
the hands of Franklin and Marshall Sat
urday. We had always understood that
there was never any lack of Interference
at Penn-by the men "higher up."
Just why Chief Meyers should have
crushed his finger this year we cannot
see. The Giants aro not going to play
the Athletics.
It was a big surprise to ringside fol
lowers to hear that 'Joe" Mandot out
pointed "Joe" Rivers in New Orleans yes
terday. Mandot for some time 1ir i.n
decidedly out of the limelight, but his
stock has Jumped within the last 24 hours.
However, whether It was Mandot' s good
work or Rivers' indifferent fighting that
gave the New Orleans lad the victory is
a question. Itlvers has not been in the
best condition for some time.
President W. F. Baker, of tho Phlllle3,
denies that he and other magnates of
the National League recently held a se
cret meeting with Gllmore, of the Feds
regarding "Peace" between the warring
baseball organizations. Mr. Baker thus
delivered himself on the subject: "1
know nothing of such a meeting. Cer
tainly the assertion that I was a party
to It Is absolutely false. I have had noth

Athletics' "Inside Man" to
Write Ante-battle Stories

Ono of tho biggest features of the ap
proaching world's series will be the dally
stories written by "Eddlo" Collins, re
viewing the play of tho day before nnd
those articles will appear exclusively In
tho Kvbnino LrjDOEn. Only tho readers
of this paper will have the opportunity to
get tho "inside stuff" from one on tha
Inside. Collins' stories have always at
tracted much attontlon and favorabl

tho games, "Kddle" has agreed to writs)

Evening Lgdoer Issue of Thursday. In
that story, "nddlo" will tell which club
ho thinks will win tho world's champion
ship and why. That article will be fol
lowed by one Friday In which the Ath
letics' great second baseman wilt tell
something very Interesting about tho
pitchers who are to be worked In tha
series.
During tho past week, Collins haa been
taking things easy on tho ball field. Ha
has not been In any of tho games, al
though ho has worked out early in tha

Herbert Heed says that Tale needs the
right men to fill three places. Some
other teams might substitute the figure

Out-of-town papers persist In repeat
ing tho story that "Jimmy" Walsh, of
tho Athletics, has agreed to split his
world's series money with "Pete" Daley,
of tho Yankees. "Pete" was traded for
"Jimmy" about mldseason, and that fact
seems to bo ground for the story of their
agreement to split. Tho fact Is that ,
Connie Aiacn, in Dehair of the Athletic
owners, not players, will gtvo "Pete" a
sum amounting to half n share of the
Athletics' series money. This money will
not bo taken out of the players' pot,
but will come out of tho coffers of the
American Baseball Club, of Phlladel
phla.
Reports from Cambridge lead us to un
derstand that thero will be little worlf
for Harvard In the early days of
this week. Which probably means that
Brlckley is taking a rest.
You ennnot convince St. Loulsans that
tho Chalmers Trophy Committee was
right In selecting "Johnny" Evers as
the most valuable man to his club in the
National Longue. When the Braves de
feated the Cardinals, Doak, allowing but
one hit, the Missouri scribes to a man
awarded tho "most valuable" title to at
certain umpire.
This Is the open season for the open
game.
The Braves plan to workout In Shlbe
Park Thursday. Tho first thing Manager
Stalltngs Intends to do Is Inspect that
right field wall. After doing that he Is
going to lead James, Tyler and Rudolph
thence nnd show them the exact spot
where Frank Baker must not knock the
