Baseball Fan Eyes Are Turned Toward Shibe Park These Days
i
BRAYES ARE HERE
WAITING EAGERLY
FOR FIRST PLAY
Stalling' Men Will See
Mackmen in Final Game
With New York Yankees
This Afternoon.
u
Stalling nnd hlitjhopoful Braves aro In
Philadelphia, waltlngr for tho crack of
the gun' Friday. This afternoon the en
tiro Boston squad will bo prcsont to get
a final line on the Athletics' play when
the champions close their American
League season with tho Yankees at Shlbo
Park.
With tho exception of Mclnnls, who Is
suffering from a couplo of Injured fingers,
all the members of tho Athletic club aro
In good condition, and, as far as Is known,
the Braves aro also In good shape, though
they will .bo without tho services of Bed
Bmlth. who broko his anklo yesterday
In Brooklyn.
Speculation Is rlfo among tho fans con
cerning Stalllngs' Initial pitching selec
tions. Bonder Is the man who Is most
likely to begin for the Athletics, but Stall
lngs has In no way Indicated whom ho
will start, although Rudolph seems to be
tho best bet If this were tho Athletics'
first aorles, It would bo oven harder to
figure whom Mack would use. But, Judg
ing the present situation by the past, It
Banma nrvrtnln thnt tlin Chlpf will hfl
' called to open against tho Braves.
Somo time during the day tno uraves will
havo a work-out at Shlbo Park, and to
morrow they will Indulgo In light prac
tice. Both tho Athletics' and Boston's
final practice will bo hold In secret, in
accordance with tho plan adopted by col
lege football teams In recent years.
As tho Yankees wero completing a two
ono victory over tho Mackmen yester
day, tho Phillies wero closing their sea
son at tho Polo Grounds In a double
header with tho New York Giants. Tho
Giants took tho first gamo, but lost the
pecond, a curtailed, soven-round affair,
which had been called on account of
darkness.
Ed McGlach, one of Boston's keenest
baseball critics, doubts Bill Jones' ability
to withstand tho Athletics' attack. DIs
cusBlng this subject, along with others In
connection with tho pitchers who will
possibly perform, ho says:
"James, with his speed and spltter, has
assets that aro more likely to bo to the
liking of tho Athletics. They aro fond
of meeting tho fast ones, as has been
demonstrated more than a fow times.
"Big hopes rest In Tyler and his left
hand Given a southpaw who can gaugo
tho fow weaknesses, of tho Philadelphia
batters, who has control and a stout
heart, and thoro Is another gleam of hope.
Control has been Tyler's drawbnek, but
oven a little wlldness, If not too much,
Is more apt to serve him well than too
flno ability to cut tho plate.
"Can the Braves hit tho Athletic pitch
ers? Will the Braves be able to force
Plank, Bender and Pcnnock or Bresslor
to lower their colors? Tho veternn Plank.
p- ,.... ua jju.ti-ta Jiujiuill'U, ur Ul least SO
'3 considered to bo. Is a type of the crafty
Biar wno may oalllo tho Braves. Years
come and years go, but Plank enters on
a world's series with apparently tho
stamina and power remaining to carry
through his part. This may be the year
when ho will fall to fulfil the contract,
but he Is a typo of pitcher with whom
tho Braves may bo expected to havo
trouble.
"Left handcrs of tho heady typo nro
more apt to bo tho Braves' bugaboo than
any type of right hander. For one thing,
the absence of Joo Connolly from tho
Boston line-up will be necessitated when
there Is a southpaw of any type working,
as his weakness against loft-hand pitch
ing Is notorious at this stage. And the
absence of Connolly's bludgeon may
mean considerable, as with tho shift In
volved In realigning tho outfield to meet
Jeft-nandod pitching there Is eliminated
tho only .300 hitter on tho team.
Bender, finishing up a season that has
Deon mnrked ns nun nr .! ..--.. i .
" will undoubtedly bo a tough proposition
jor the Braves to face, viewing him from
.A 7. L. Ul uxcy "nve encountered
5?,HPChlnK ln,tIle National league
il?S the rP?son Just departing that has
been reckoned as on a par with that of
Bender's. They havo been fortunate
nnrtUBh t0 ?efeat pItchlnS of this "tamp!
widjB matters go in basoball. they may
i'.'.Pin10C.k nn'1 Messier, especially the
latter, both being southnkws ,I ..!
ao a fielder Ho Is a lighter and a trifle
faster man on his feet than tho big Bravo
first baseman.
"At third base, too, the Mackmen
would seem to have tho call. Frank
Baker can hardly be classed as a bril
liant fielder, although he takes caro of
his position In flno stylo and has always
held his end up In the big sorles. But
at tho bat is where Baker shows a big
superiority over the Boston man.
"Smith has been hitting remarkably
well of lato and his stlckwork In recent
games at Fenway Park was no incon
siderable factor in the Braves' success,
yet it should be1 remembered that one of
tho reasons for Brooklyn allowing him
to get away was a supposed weakness
at tho bat Contrast this with Baker's
kell-known ability with tho ash his pro
pensity to settlo the fato of pitchers with
a tremendous swat over tho garden wall
or a long drive to centre or left field for
extra bases, and ono can well understand
how ho is the chotco of nlno out of ten
experts. On Baker's bat much of tho
Athletics' hopes for drawing down tho
lion's share of ths rocclpta depends."
It Is rather rcmarkablo that Smith
should havo been hurt at Brooklyn. When
tho youngster leaped from tho Southern
Association to tho majors ho went to tho
Dodgers. At that tlmo Smith did not
want to go to Brooklyn, but was com
pelled to or be a candldato for tho black
list. Ho was always dissatisfied at Flat
bush, and as soon as the chanco was
given him ho left Charloy Ebbetts' team,
going to tho Braves early this season.
Now that he has been put out of tho
world's series In tho Brooklyn baseball
stadium, Smith will bo less fond of ht.i
old playing grounds than ever.
Smith's Injury on tho vo of tho great
annual baseball battle may provo to bo
tho salvation of the Braves. Tho chances
aro against it, but tho chances wero also
against tho "HItlesi Wonders" in 1008,
whon they lost tho services of their reg
ular thlrd-sacker and wero forced to put
In a substitute third baseman against tho
Cubs in tho world's scries. Fans will re
call that tho victory of tho White Sox
over their West Sldo rivals that year
was duo largely to Boveral three-base
urives ana timely singles of George Itohe,
tho substitute third baseman.
Deal or Whlttcd may do tho samo thing
that Itoho 'accomplished in 190(3, but it
Is to ho hoped that If one of thorn does,
ho wilt not drop out of tho lime-light
as quickly as tho blond utility Whlto Sox
played did.
Othor notable accidents havo occurred
before world's scries games besides those
mentioned. In 1911 Stuffy Mclnnls was
unablo to get Into tho llnp.tm whnn ,
Athletics met the Giants. This was sup
posed to bo a great blow to tho Athletics'
chances, but It proved to bo tho reverse,
as was tho caso with tho Whito Sox.
Harry Davis played first for Mack during
the series that year. His fielding was ex
cellent and his hitting was largely re
sponsible for driving In tho runs which
defeated tho Now Yorkers.
Last season three of tho Giants were on
J "., ''.?Ita,1 "at" M(rlle and Snodgrass
had "Charley horse," and, though each
ono played a short tlmo, they could not
go through tho series. Wiltso played a.
creditable game for Merklo at first, but
Schafer did not put up a satisfactory
gamo In centre field in Snodgrass' stead
At, . i. "rst Knmo of the 1913 series
Chief Myers was hit on the hand by a
foul ball and forced to the bench. Larry
McLean went In and did much bettor
than Myers wns "doped out" to do. Never

Comparing "Babbitt" nrnrnviit ,!,
Jack Barry. Paul Shannon, of the Bos
ton Post, makes these comments:
"Maranvllle Is a faster man than Barry
nnd can take mora chances over th
eecond bag. but this Is partly on account
of the 'Babbitt's' Inni? ronMi Hnn,-,...
Maranvllle'a superiority In this regard is
offset by Barry's better knowledge of
Inside baseball and his greater experi
ence. Barry has learned tho game thor-
ougniy ana seiaom makes a mistake.
Maranvllle Is coming fast, but has still
something to learn.
"Great as Is John Evers, he can hardly
be rated as the equal of tha brilliant Ed
die Collins. The latter is the best of the
country's second Backers without any
question Evers, too, is an older man
than Collins, is seven years longer In the
pame. and la really beginning to slow up.
Ills knows just as much baseball nn rfnaa
the Fhlladclphlan and Is equally as qulck
jwitted, but Collins Is a harder hitter, a
(better base runner and a faster man In
getting either to first or around the paths.

iu urany as wen as any nrt sacker

Four years ago, Johnny Evers, then
second baseman of tho Chicago Cubs
S" a !?0" 'n his ankle "and was
unable to play in tho world's series
against tho Athletics. Today Evers"
tonrnmato on tho Boston club, J. Carllslo
Smith, lies m a New York hospital with
tho samo type of Injury. Smith will not
be n the series, which begins here on
Friday nfternoon.
While "Bed" Smith Is not as finished a
Sla.rr ai,e,t.h.op of th0 Braves' second
base combination, Evers aod Maranvllle.
he has developed Into a fielder of bettor
than ordinary ability and Is a hard,
clean-up hitter. Just how much the loss
of Smith will mean to the Bravea in tho
series with tho Mackmen is difficult to
estimate. As far as the actual effective
ness of the Boston club la concerned,
thero will not bo a great deal of differ
ence with Smith out of the line-up and
either Deal or Whltted stationed at third
base.
Stalllngs stated after arriving in Phlla-
ucipmu mt nignt tnat he would prob
ably use Deal In the world's series, but
r,t L8 , a hance that he may move
Whltted in from the outfield and try him
at his old station at third.
Though the Braves will suffer but little
from Smith's absence In a concrete way,
tho moral effect of this blow to tha
challengers is npt to be great. In fact
aiumiijsa nu nis men seemed today to
bo very much down-hearted over the ac
cident which will prevent their using
their regular third baseman against the
Athletics.
Of course. Indirectly, Stalllngs' method
of driving hla mon to the last Is re
sponsible for Smith's broken ankle. At
the samo time, the manager certainly
does not deserve to be censured In any
way, because the Injury to his third
sacker was simply ono which might have
como up nt any time. When "ned" waa
taken to tha hospital after he had been
hurt, he broke down completely and
wept because of tho cruel prank that
fate had played on him.
By EDWAED 31. BUSHNELT.
No university in America retains as big
a football squad and for so great a part
of tho season as Harvard. Tho vars'ty
squads of Harvard, Yale, Prlncoton and
Pennsylvania havo each numbered moro
than 100 men at various times slnco tho
preliminary season began. But right
now tho mon considered as varsity mate
rial hardly average moro than 30 at any
ono Institution.
What becomes of tho players who do
not mako the varsity squad? At somo
institutions thoy aro summarily dropped
just as soon as It is evident that thoy
can't make good. Somo becomo dis
couraged and stop reporting of tholr own
volition. Any coach, if ho had onough
assistants, would keep ao many of theso
candidates as possible, In tha hopo that
they might develop later Into varsity
material.
But Coach Haughton, of Harvard,
seems to bo tho only man to solve tho
problem. In addition to his varsity and
freshman squads, Haughton has enough
mon to mako up four elevens. Theso
mon aro kept at work every day on an
adjoining lot, somotlmca with volunteer
coaches, and at other times with me.n
who can bo spared from the regular
coaching Btnff. Haughton bellovcs that
somo of these men may yet provo valu
able, and ho wantB to keep them at work
and interested. He doesn't want to risk
losing a posslblo all-Amcrlcan star, who
may report as a raw recruit and bo dis
couraged by dismissal from the squad
after a fow days' trial. Such men rarely
report twice.
To retain tho Interest of all such men
at Harvard, Haughton himself has do
nated a cup, to bo given to tho team
which wins a serlos of games to bo played
next month. Although tho Crimson now
has moro wealth of material than it can
use, somo of It will surely come In hand
during tho lean years which may como
at any time.
Tho University of Pennsylvania coaches
could profit by tho Harvard example.
Evory day it Is necessary for about half
the squad to do nothing but run through
tho preliminary and signal drills.
FEARS PENN'S SCOUTS
EASTON, Fa,, Oct. 6. Becauso of tho
fact that Pennsylvania sent scouts up
to both Lafayette games, Coaoh Crowell
has entlroly changed tho signals. Kelly
and Toll aro both kicking In excellent
shape. Marney Pardee la much better,
having Incurred a dislocated arm two
weeks ago. Coach Crowell Is confident of
giving Pennsylvania a good game Saturday.

Full particulars aro now to hand of
the recent tour of the Morion Cricket
Clu bin England. Tho team arrived in
London Just when war was declared and
almost an entirely now schedulo had to
be arranged. Despite continued inter
ruptions, resulting from conditions ovor
which they had no control, tho eleven
played exceptionally good crickot, and
somo of tho scoring was phenomonal.
Out of tho nlno matches playod, four
wero won and two lost and three drawn.
At Mltcham a surprlso was crcated by
defeating tho home club after they had
declared their innings, and at Tonbrldgo
thoy only wanted two runs to win with
eight wickets in hand. There wero somo
exceptionally good Individual perform
ances, as will bo seen from a perusal
of tho results and averages. Merlon
scored 2721 runs for 89 wickets, avorngo
per wicket 30-68, whilo their opponents
obtained 21M for 111 wickets, avcrago

That famous Cub machines Is dead. Its
pieces an' Its parts aro spread an' scat
tered everywhere. Somo narts, though
gone, nro runnln' yet. Some old stars
simply will not set 'though tlmo has
dimmed their glare. Old Jimmy Sheck
ard's one o' these. You'vo seen him often
on his knees or flat out on his ohest
his famous dlvln' catch, you know. He
had a lot of tricks to Bhow, but that dive
was his best.
He's In the bushes now, a boss. He's
tryln' hard to put across the Cleveland
A. A. team. The pennant hunch Is In
bis bone. He wants to win one all his
own an' that's his prayer an" dream.
Jim plays or pinch hits now an' then,
but gives way to the younger men who've
passed his slowln' gait. His brain still
has its oldttmo vim, but Its a long, long
tlmo since Jim broke in In '9S.
Jim starred for more'n a dozen years.
At fleldln' he had darn few peers an' he
could swat some, too. An' bunt? Jim
had that stunt down pat. He had a
sacrlflcln' bat that never proved untrue.
It Isn't go In' to mako much dlff If Sheck
wins bush league nags or If ho quits the
great ol' gome. The fans'll love him still
becauso they can't forget the star ho
was. ills (jub days cincnea his fame.

"Lew" Bnlley is a well-pleased man
today, ns ho has tho pleasure of know
ing that he promoted a fight which at
tracted the biggest crowd that ever at
tended an exhibition at the Palace Ath
letic Club, Norrlstown. The rink where
tho bouts were held was packed to tho
doors, and this record crowd saw "Young
Jack" O'Brien, of this city, mete out an
arttbtlo lacing to "Eddie" McAndrews,
of Manayunk. "Eddie" was willing
enough and landed an occasional stiff
punch, but swings will hardly whip
O'llrtsn. A straight puncher would have
a better chnnco to win. O'Brien's clever
ness was too much for McAndrews and
the latter was Jabbed and buffeted almost
at will. It was an Interesting fight
though, and McAndrews deserves much
praise, for he was certainly "up against
It," but took his beating like a man.
Indianapolis has virtually won the Fed
eral League pennant for 1014, and sports
men are generally agreed on this point.
However, Chicago, only ono gome be
hind, has a chance, though It Is con
siderably smaller than a pea. If the
Hooslers lose their remaining two games
to tho St. Louis Feds, and the Chifeds
win tomorrow from Kansas City, tho
flag will go to Chicago by half a game.
It Is harder to picture a more striking
baseball climax than this.
A great series the White Sox-Cubs
series bids fair to be. The opening
game is to be got under way today and
a report from Chicago indicates that
about 25,000 fans will bo In the stands.
Interest In the lnterleoguo contest evi
dently Is at fever heat.
That was a wonderful performance) of
Peter Volo, the 3-year-old trotter. In tho
914,000 Kentucky Futurity rnco at Lex
ington, Ky yestorday, as tho animal
created a new world's record of 2:03Vi.
In addition the trotter set a new mark
for the fastest third heat for & 8-year-old
trotter, and another for the fastest
third heat race for a trotter of nny sex
at that age. Truly a flno testimonial to
the training ability of her owner,
Frank Chance, former manager of tho
New York Yankees, so It Is rumored,
has been offered a managerial position
by President Gllmoro of the Federal
League, Chance is considering tho
matter.
Leach Cross outpointed "Walter Mohr
at the Broadway Sporting Club, Brooklyn,

Secretary of War Garrison and Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels have washed
their hands of the whole Army-Navy gamo
s(uabblo, and will have nothing further
to do in tho matter, it certainly seems
a great pity that the trouble cannot be
agreeably adjusted.
We all Join with "Bed" Smith's friends
in offering our sympathies to tha Injured
athlete, who yesterday sustained a frac

Many duties preliminary to tho estab
lishment of tho Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia will devolvo upon tho
nlno directors of the InsUtutlon at the
first meeting of tho board for organi
zation tomorrow. Tho mooting will Ifn
hold In the offices of the QlrarU Trust
Company, and begins at noon. Richard
L. Austin, class O director, who was"
designated as chairman of the board by
tho Federal Reserve Board, will prestdo.
Probably tho first thing to be taken
up will be tho terms which tho rospectlvo
directors of classes A, B and O shall
serve. Tho fodoral reserve net, under
which the Federal Reservo Banks aro
created, provides that the directors shall
dcslgnato among their number In all
three olasses which shall servo for one
year from January 1 nearest tho tlmo
tho first mooting of the full board In
held, ono who shall servo two years nnd
another threo years. After tho first
terms expire directors shall bo elected
to Bervo for threo years.
It la thought that the dlroctora may
also name tho governor and vice governor
of the bank and tho advisory counsel nt
tho meeting tomorrow. It Is not Incumbent
upon tho board to tako this action at tho
flrst meeting, however. For governor,
Charles J. Rhoads, class A director. Is
being spoken of as tho probablo choice,
whllo Levi I.. Rue, president of tho Phila
delphia National Bank, Is mentioned as
advisory counsel.
Location of tho bank may also como
up for consideration. It Is felt In banking
circles that tho bank should bo located
near tho Subtronsury and tho Clearing
House, and for this reason a slto In tho
eastern part of tho business sectionals
generally favored. Tho old Western Na
tional Bank, In Chontnut street nbove
Fourth. Is tho most likely of the sites for
tho bank, If It is kept In mind that tho
bank should bo down town. It has nlso
been suggested that tho bank might bo
started In tho Subtroasury. Many changes
would havo to bo mado in tne vaults oi
that Institution If thte wero done.
At some later tlmo tho Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia will establish
branch banks. Theso branch Institutions
wltl bo operated by seven directors, four
of .whom will be appointed by tho Re-
sorve Bank ana tnree Dy tne rcuenu
Reservo Board. Ono of the directors will
bo mado manager.
WHAT BANKS WILL SUBSCRIBE.
As there aro 756 national banks located
In District No. 3, of which Philadelphia
will have the Reserve Bank, tho Institu
tion In this city will etart business with
an authorized capital of approximately
$12,491,892. Tho capital stock and sdrplus
of all the banks In tho district Is J203,
213,201 and the banks aro required to sub
scribe to tho capital stock of tho Reserve
Bank In an amount equal to 6 per cent,
of this sum. The 32 national banks In
this city alone will subscribe to 13,732,900
of tho stock. One-sixth of total amount,
or J2.082.482. Is payable at once, Phila
delphia's shore being 1622,150. Another
sixth Is paynblo within threo months and
one-sixth within six months. Tho pay
ment of the remaining three-sixths will
be at tho call of tho Federal Reserve
Board.
As theso payments must be mado in
gold or gold certificates it will bo seen
that with this city's shore of $G23,1
added to tho J2.000.000 which has Just
lipon denoslted for tho foreign exchango
pool of $100,000,000. tho stock of gold In
tho vaults of Philadelphia Institutions
has been parod down J2.G22.1B0. If the
Gold Fund Committee calls for tho re
maining 75 per cent of this city's sub
scription to tho pool, which will be J8,-
000.000. a total of J3.622.1B0 in gold or gold
certlflcates will havo been taKen
Philadelphia. It Is estimated
gold holdings here before
were made were 30,000,000.

Park Course.
Cornell and Pennsylvania will hold a
dual cross-country run In Fairrnount
Park on Saturday, November 7. This Is
the flrst run of a new agreement which
provides that Pennsylvania shall race
Cornell at Ithaca next fall. Tha new
agreement provides that seven men
shall count In tho scoring Instead of five
as heretofore This ch&ngo was made
at the request of Cornell and Is different
from tbs intercollegiate rule, which pro-
more men to count In the I. C. A. A. A.
A. championship run and once proposed
an amendment to this effect, but the as
sociation declined.
Pennsylvania now has a big squad of
nearly 60 men at work, but Coach Orton
has discovered no one who gives him
any hope of beating Cornell in the dual
meet or the Intercollegiate championship.
The Ithacans have nearly all of last
year's veteran material still in college.
