No Pitcher Has Yet
Equaled Braves' Star in
Outguessing Mack's Slug
gers. When Dick Rudolph won for himself
a. iiatlon-'Mile icputntlon In the N'ntlotial
League campaign of 1114. It was almost
tho unanimous opinion of alleged experts
on liascbll that he hnil never been up
against p. elub Hint could lilt with the
ferocious consistency of the Athletic.'.
Hence when lie held the Athletic bats
men to nvo hits, scattered throughout
that s-anio number of innings, his splen
did pcrfoimance ciimo In the nature of a
distinct surprise
Th thousand! nf Athletic rootrs who
went to the gimo e.terdn to w the
unbeatable flcnucr b'wk the backbone
of the ltoston Uruves In the series re
ceived a severe shock Although thev
knew that the Braves were Imbued with
the Idea that thej could not be beaten,
few suspected that this spirit Mould
carry them tlitoush even one world's
scries wnv. Yet the very decisiveness
with which the Brines trounced Mack's
six-time winners, proved eonclusivel
that If the Athletics Intend to win the
series thev will h.ue to play a b.rand of
ball to which thej have not been forced
In the last two ears
But when all of the happenings of
that line ehlbltlon stnsed at Shibe Park
are sifted down and taken up In their
logical order. It can be elearb seen that
Rudolph' work was the most unexpected
event of the dnv It is tine that no one
guessed that Chief nender would have
the unprecedented misfortune of being
knockfd out of the box, nor did nns one.
Incluillns the confident Stalllngs himelf
believe foi a moment the Bracs vvouln
pile up seven runs. Vet that la what
happened But the worst is et to conv
Mm pin. tl-e man who has been dub
bed the kin;, of waiters, could not draw
a pas fioni Rudolph, although, to all
outward appearances, the Braves' hurler
ui wllil OMrlnc. Collin", Baker. Mc-
Innls and Harr attempted to olve Ru- i
dolph's dellverv with poor success in
deed. Slrunk seemed to have his eye
trained correctl. for he rapped out two
clean singles and hit a hot grounder cm
a third trip up. on which Schmidt made
a necessnrih clever plan to retire him
Tic an'wer to the whole question 13
that Richard Rudolph I one of the
bralne.-t pitcher that ever stopped on
the diamond When a hurler can out
rupss such tndents of batting hs Collins,
Oldrlnc. Mclmds and Ban to the ex
tent of making them appear helples3.
there can be no doubt about this man s
abllitv. both phvsical and mentnl.
Dick Rudolph deserved his great vic
tory He deserved more He should have
had a shut-out, and wo-ild have had but
for an error bv Moran at a eiltical
moment. Fiom the time that Muiphy
went up la the nm inning until the last
man perished In the ninth, making the
17th out. Rudolph had absolute control
of th" Boston defensive end of th' -nine
Just what Rudolph did t. the Athletics
Is this He outcuesed them at ever
turn. That i3 the answer in a net-shell.
To go into the matter, occasion of this
type rose Rudolph would reeminglv be
wild. He would get three balls and no
strike on a batter. This he did re
peatedlv Then he wouid "groove" one.
The batter naturallv let that one go by
Then tho Athletic plnver would crip his
bat and decide to punch the next one
to tho remote enrrwrs of the field, if not
without the inelusuie Surelv Rudolph
would have to put one across with three,
and one. But did h' Not so that ou
could discern t Instead he crossc-d
the hitter to perfection bv sending a wide
curve to the right-handed htttets and
a fast one to the left-handers The re
sult was a wild swing to meet a "crlppte '
nnd an ensuing fracture of the surround
ing atmosphere
This huppened a numoer or times, men
Rudolph showed how h was capable
of varlng hi methods Collins was up
with a count of two and two. Hit figured. '
judging b his action or rather lack or it,
that Rudolph would send him a fast one
outside or high. Rudolph nguied that
Collins would ngure that, hnce, he shot
one across the heart of the plate Col- i
Una was called out on strikes without (
having moved his. bat fiom his shoulder
So It was throughout the Fame Every
time an Athletic batter would figure a i
curve Rudolph would give him a lesulur I
fat one or a spittwr and vice versa '
Oldring was twite a strtke-out victim in
four times up It was p'alnly evident
from the manner in vvnich Rube got his
toe-holds that he intended to break one .
to pieces and that on these occasions I
he had guessed that Rudolph would give ,
him one over the pan. Yet he missed his
third strike twice b a font, because I
Rudolph saw him set his toe-hoicj and
crossed bv giving him a wide hook, which
he could not have reached without step,
pins out of the batters' box
The three bases on balls which Rudolph
gave can be explained in the same way
as the rest of his pitching. Ha refused
to give the Athletic batters balls which
he knew the would murder Hence,
when Collins once and Mclnnis twlc
decided to wait him out, he gave them
a base rather than give them a chaneo
to set a hit. This was certainly ex
cellent judgment, because when Collins
received his pass In the first innlnar, Mur
phy was on second and a hit would hava
meant a. run And when Milnnis re
ceived nis econq pass Maker was on
nm and no on'dw henTeThlTmlght

TRIPLE ALLIANCE
HAS COLLEGE MEN
MUCH INTERESTED
Harvard, Princeton and Yale
Have Baseball Agreement;
Other Institutions Wonder
Where They "Get Off."
A lot of the other big university base
ball teams are wondering whero they
"get off" In the new triangular agree
ment between Harvard, Trlnceton and
Yale, whereby these three universities
have agreed to play each other a series
of three games each for what they are
pleased to call the "triangular cham
pionship," They aro scheduled to begin
this triangular series on Saturday, May
22, and to end It on June 2S.
This means that few outside teams have
a chance to get more than one Saturday
date with any of these Institutions after
May 15. Midweek games are not profit
able financially, nnd It's a question
whether or not Harvard, Yale and
Princeton will consent to play such teams
a Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Cornell and
Brown after they begin their own series.
If they schedule games with any of
them prior to May 22 It is doubtful If
many outside this trio get more than
one game, and some are likely to he re
fused even that. At Pennsylvania,
for Instance, the whole schedule has been
held up by the Harvard-Yalo-Prlnccton
triple alliance. Last year Pennsylvania
played two games each with these three
teams.
The ostensible purpose of the new tri
angular league was to prevent a tepetl
llon of the unsatisfactory end to the
series they played last spring. Then
Haivard scheduled only one game with
Princeton, hut played three with Ynlo
Likewise, Tale nnd Pilnceton met three
times. The result was that Harvard
beat Princeton, Princeton heat Tale nnd
Tale beat Harvard. The agreement be
tween these three universities calls for
tho following schedule:
Mav 22 Harvard vs. Princeton, at Cam
bridge. Jlav 29 rrlnceton vs. Tale, at New
Haven.
June 5 Harvard vs. Princeton, nt
Princeton.
June 12 Talo vs. Princeton, at Prince
ton. June 15 Tale vs. Princeton, at New
Tork.
June IS Harvard vs. Princeton, at New
Tnrk.
Tho Harvard-Tale series will be played
on June 21, 23 and 25, the places to be
named later.
In view of this triple alliance between
Harvard, Yalo and Princeton, tho onlv
thing for the colleges left out In the cold
to dv Is to organize a quadrangular
league, which might be composed of
Pennsjlvanln. Cornell, Dartmouth and Co
lumbia Those who entertain tho theory
that they may yet break Into the trian
gular league for two or more games are
likely to be disappointed,
CENTRAL HIGH LOOKS GOOD
Howell's Veteran Eleven Will Ba
Hard to Stop This Year,
It begins to look more and more as
though the team that beats Central
Htgh this year will be the Interscholastlc
champion, Judging by the results of the
latter's opening games. Coach Howell,
with a team composed almost of veterans,
has a better chance for the title than for
several seasons, and Is determined that
no expected reverses shall rob them of
the honor as has been the case for the
past Ave jears. At present Northeast
looks more like a contender than West
Philadelphia, although the latter team
has a way of coming around for its big
games, something that Central High
lacks.

WAS NOT ACCIDENT,

WAS CLEAN YICTORY
"Bert" Braley So Sums Up
the First Game of the Series
Won So Cleverly by Stal
Hngs' Braves.
By BERTON BBALEY
It wasn't nny accident, it wasn't any
"break," It wasn't any "horseshoe" and
It wasn't a mlstnkb, but a clean and
gallant victory of muscles and of wlti
that came from maeter pitching and a
long array of lilts, " The Braves were
full of mustard and of cayenne and of
"pep." They were fighting every minute;
they were hustling every step, nnd the
sound of hits re-ochoed like the cracking
of a gun till they grabbed the first
engagement by full 7 runs to 1.
They dimmed tho pristine splendor of
the noble Big Chlof Bender; they banged,
his choicest "benders" round the lot,
and nfter some brief study Mr. McOllll
cuddy removed tho worried redman from
the spot. Hut stilt Mack's brow was
cloudy, for this here Mister Gowdy kept
banging WyckofTs offerings on the nose,
while young Mnrnnvllle battered 'em and
scattered 'cm and shattered 'em, thus
adding to the Quaker City's woes.

aro nome retrievers; they fielded overy
grounder, every fly that could possibly
bo landed-Cundorhandcd. overhanded, and
they did It In the twinkling of an eye.
"And there were no stars?" you've said
It It's the team deserves tho credit for
a noble exhibition of tho game, though
Sir Rudolph's way of flinging sure de
serves a bit of singing and I'm glad to
do a little of the same.
For the "wrecking crew" went rII to
wreck, and tho slugging gang got a
sudden check, nnd out of that terrible
Infield bunch that once ate pitchers nnd
such for lunch, the only one who could
hit a thing was J. Frank Baker, the
well-known King. "King of Hitters," I
trust I'm clear, we crowned him Mon
nrch of swat Inst year; Mclnnls, Collins
nnd Barry, too, got never a hit for the
fans to view. So if you get at eight to
five upon the Mackmen's chances, you
may wish things were otherwise than
present circumstances, and think the odds
are not so cheap and, maybe, lose a little
sleep!
SENIOR DISTANCE
RACE TO BE HELD
IN PROSPECT PARK
Metropolitan Cross-country
Championship Hill and
Dale Event to Be Held
Over New Route.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Prospect Park
will be a rival of Van Cortlandt Park
as the site of cross-country champion
ship races this coming season. At a meet
ing of the committee hiving in charge
the championships of the Metropolitan
Association, it was decided to hold the
senior championship on November 21 and
for the first time to utilize the course in
Frospect Park tendered by Park Commis
sioner Raymond V. Ingersoll.
For some years past the claims of Pros
pect Park as a suitable place for the
hill and dale events have been urged
by members of the Irish American A. C.
The fault of the present-day courses of
this nature Is that they are too easy
nnd consist of too much flat running.
Lawson Robertson, trainer of the Irish
American A. C , Insists that the going
In the park Is by no means as easy
as might be expected and that the com
petitors will have all the rough work they
want when they tackle Look Out Hill.
The plan is to have the championship
race run three times over a circuit of two
miles, and It Is stated that the specta
tors will thus be able to see more of the
contest than Is possible when the event
Is run at Van CortUndt.
The committee decided to stick to Van
Cortlandt Park for the Junior champion
ship. This will be run on November 14,
a week before the senior. It Is the In
tention to lay out a new course, which.
If possible, will be harder than the old
one and provide a better view for the
crowd. m
More than JM athletes are entered In
the small club championships which will
be held at Washington Park today. The
strongest club numerkally Is the Negro
organization, the Smart Set A. C, with
82 men. Next cornea the oldest of the
eligible clubs, the Pastime A. C, with
31. The Rronx Church House has en
tered : men In the hope of heating out
the Mohawk A. C . Its rival In the Bronx,
which lias named 21. The Long Island K
C. has a strong team of 2S and the Mill
rose A A 20. Many other local clubs
and the New Haven A C have entered
full teams.
