KALBFUS WRITES ENTERTAININGLY OF STATE GAME LAWS In First of a Series of Articles for Evening Ledger Tells of Efforts Along Game Protection Lines. Kli i i 'if ffr. ba Mackmen Still Believed to Be Better Individually Than Boston, But Over confidence and Stallings Beat Them. Boston's unnrccedented fourMn-n-row K victory over the Athletics for the world's ; baseball championship tops the list of 19M upsets In the sphere- of sports. How . club whoso individual members were believed, ami still are thought to be, In ferior to another, could have so decisively won from the team of superior players, Is tho question which even the Joy-mad fol lowers of the Hruve-s nro asking. Lack of condition and overeontldence, which Increased tho extent of abso lute eocksutwness as the day for the llrst frame of the sciles approached, c.plnliis best how the Athletics were beaten This Is practically admitted by members of tho Macktau team themselves. Natu rally when tho team ai rived this morning at North Philadelphia they were not in a garrulous mood. They did not c.iro to discuss the series even with their closest friends. The weather was a safer and saner topic. However, when one or two of the men did mention casually that there had been a setback In the ranks, due to a severe drubbing administered by the TtravAS. thnv treini.il In think thitt th, answer was Just what has been stated ! above. Connlo Mack, like his men. Is a true sportsman. He nevei produce alibis. To be sure, he has -eldi in had thf oppnrtu nlty In the last 14 ears, but even when nis team sunerou iteient as it mil in rnun- J.Ii..Ih n..l tl1.,,.. .lllflttl ft, Inn, f,t" ' days, he gives the other club full credit. "They licked us and licked us fairly," : was tho way the Watftlooed general of baseball put it. "A great etub won the BCrles," he went on, "it played better ball i every gnme and the result would not have 1 been fair to Boston If we had not bei-n licked In four straight: that mean, of course, on the form showed by the two teams In the series. They call the team the Braves, and a truer word was never uttered, but Stallings has too much of the ' Jack Johnson In him for mc to include him In rav congratulations " I 111 III lilt vuiihiiuuiaii'iiia From his short staiement. it Is evident that Connie Mack heads the list of those who believe that the Athletics were fair ly and squarely beaten, but who also .-,, .I- V. AT ...L-mur, ll'ftfn lint i themselves in the series. While Mack Mould not say wiiy no inuumii m,: vm letlcs were not in th proper condition, i their complete confident e explains it. r Durlns the last few weeks of the Amert- .' can League season the Tied Sox began r to make a fight for the pennant. But I tho Athletics did not get out of the leth t prgy Into which they had dropped. In ! stead they slmpU took it for granted I that they were going to win the pen ! nant without half tring. They got into -. Jthls rut Bin? stayed there. During the t t1mef'whch they should have been getting f on edge. Just a few days before the series, ' they were not doing so. This does not i mean that the members of the team were ( not working to get physically fit. for they ' -were. But they wcie not looking on the " terlc3 with the proper mental altitude. ! They couldn't see anything but them i selves, and that meant that when they i -went Into the games with the Brave they were so astounded by each succes- slve defeat that they could not get into ' fighting form. Stallings' men. on the other hand, wrc r lust the opposite of the Athletics. They had been told by their manager that If ' they went In and played the ball that was In them they could beat the Athletics or any other club. Their mental attitude - differed from the Athletics' in that they f knew they had to tight to win. while I their opponents thought they could win without fighting. The result was that. led by Captain Johnny Evers. the Braes St folight every minute of the four games i ' In the first game plaed In Boston, tin t third of the series, the Braves fought one ' of the earnest baseball battles ever waged i In the history of the game. But they t would have made Just as good a flgnt in I any other game and as game a one If It r had been necessary. stalllncs himself Is a fighter and he makes his men fight. If ho has a man In his club whom he thinks has a tend ency to weaken at the knees in a pinch, he delivers a series or lonsue-iuaiiumi to that man until the player Is far more nfrald not to come through than he la to ; face a critical situation. I The Braves.' leader says he has a great fighting club and to that fact he uttributes : Its SUCCeSS. Alter me Bum" .10.. r, I In Boston, he said of his tenm: "I did not think that we would win In ' four straight games, but I never had the ' leaat doubt that we would beat the Ath ' letics. I have the gamest, best fighting ' ball club on earth and we fought the Philadelphia bunch Just as we had plan ' ned and. Just as we espcted. the result 1 was victory. No pitchers can show me ! more than mine did In this series. I am glsd that we did beat the Athletics four I straights, for of all the poor sports In I the world, Connie Mack is the worst lluch had been said before the series ' of the failure of the Boston players l thoroughly to comprehend the meaning of defeat." but It was not until after the . first Kama played here at Shlbe Park that ' this was actually proven to be a fact. Less than an hour after Dick Rudolph - had outpltched Chief Bender he was talk- log of his. teammates and how they felt ': about It "You know." he ssld, "the boys on our 1 club don't think that anybody can lick i them. They know they hae to play ball but they think they can do that, and' they have been doing It. too They : played a great game behind me and the ' way they went after the Athletics makes I me feel Just as the rest do that nobody can beat us." Following his second victory, won yes- , terday, 3 to 1, over the Athletics at Fen. i" way Park In Boston. Rudolph declared that he "could not see the Athletics as ',- hitters." "They were the Mslest team to beat." Richard declared, "that I have 5 been up against this year, or In any other i of the seven years of my pitching ex- P perlence " I "I had heard much about the way they lugged, but I soon found they could not live up to their reputation I'd rather pitch against the Athletics than the worst teams In the National and American Leagues, and I know that rny average would be far better They swung at anything I sent up to them, whether low, high or wide The did not show m- batting Judgment at all I was nerv- olt ous during the flret three innings of the ba first game, but after I had pitched to the entire team once I figured that I ' bad their measure." This utatement by Kuooipn merely goes to prove the mental upatuesa of the Ath letics far the wne They did Just what Rudolph Mid the did th- kwung at anytbiu? Thcj wtie so sure In their own Himds that the tou'd knock the young splttT" from t'ie b-x that they u-ed little Judgment In attempting to n.t the t .T To.- -n in was tbat when J.jdol.h J4tnes( a-d Iv'' d scovrred Um they Eimfiy tid ct glv tutm sued i -niK r -ti 'T i jt - vitv & ". v.1 i w jri 0 ,wm rnvt j. 1 1 sm- - . - t I r?Sg --fi"fc Iwf Wk WF W I I . - I "SZi' t "V v HBHOV.. i .wjggN" balls, for they knew the Mack were hlttlnB at bad ones, and that hltt'ns' bad balls could result In only one thins de feat. The "breaks" of the name were In near ly oviry case for Huston. Out that Is always tiue of a winner. The clement of luck played but a small part In any one of the four games. The "breaks" ncalnst the Athletics were the results , , , e'tht-r of poor Judgment on the part of '"-, Athletics or their failure to take the situation with sutMcIent seriousness 19 exert themselves to the limit. Many fans of Philadelphia had the wrong "dope" on yesterday's pitching situation. They were not surprised that Connie Mack selected Shawkey. nor would they have been surprised at the, choosing of any other of the younger members of the pitching staff. But they believed that the reason was because Mack could not trust Bender or Plank to win. On the contrary. Mack had, and still has, full confidence In the ability of these old warriors, hut he was up against ono of the hardest situations he ever faced yes terday, and that he did the right thing cannot be questioned. The Athletics had lost thice games. Bender and Plank had been used. The question In Mack's mind was, "Shall I use Pender or Plank today, or save them to win later If the team wins this game?" Obviously If a youngster had to be used at all, which, of course, was necessary If he expected to play the full seven games, the only time to use him was yes trdav. If Bender had pitched yesterday and won, and Plank could have followed with a victory today, that would still haw left It up to a youngster. Hence Mack thought that the best thing to do was to win yetTda's game, or try to win It. with a youngster, and to do the same thing today. That would leave Ben der and Plank for the two last games, and would give them a chance to recuperate from the effects of their work here last Friday and Saturday. Yesterday's game gave Shawkey and Pennoek their first chance In a world's series, although the former was In line when thf pie was sliced last year, and the latter has been with the Mackmen three years. Both Pennoek and Shawkey pitched good hall. The total hits oft these young sters was six In the eight rounds Bos ton fuced them. Shawkey gave up four of these and Pennoek two. The trouble yesterday was not with the Athletics' pitching, but with their own hitting, which was fitful. They managed to get seven hits off Rudolph, but were unable to bunch them except In the one round when Shawkey's double scored the only run for the Phlladelphlans. In Boston two players are the heroes of the hour-Hank Gowdv, who has Just compleUd his first world's series, and Johnny Evers. the veteran of many cam paigns and world's series games. To Evers as much as to Stallings belongs the credit for the Braves' march through tho ranks of the National League and their subsequent victory over the Ath letics for the baseball crown. Evers' work In the series was splendid. II fteldrd well, although he was charged with one error; he drove In the two win ning runs yesterday with a hot single through the box. Johnny madn seven hits In the four games In It times at bat, giving htm a percentage of .137. Goody's slugging, however, was as timely as Evers', and he hit the ball to greater distances and with more com parative frequency. He had six hits In 11 times up. an average of .545. This young ratchT cracked the ball for a total of 14 bases, hitting a home run. a triple, three doubles and one tingle. It was due to his terrific clubbing as much as to any other one factor that the Braves were able to arrive at the goal so quickly and make victory so complete. The pall thrown over the city by tho Athletics' defeat was lightened to some extent by John Brown. South Philadel phia. Brown had a wager with Tqm Per field. If the Braves won Brown was destined to roll a peanut around Reynolds Square. 17th street and Passyunk avenue, i The Braves won, so Brown, In the pres ence of several hundred ultra-pleased spectators, proceeded to pay his bet by rolling a very small peanut, one selected by the winner of the wager, around the square with a CS-pound crowbar This performance took place Immediately after the news of yesterday's game was re ceived. The Braves' victory over the Mackmen causes a tie for world's series honors. There have been ten series played. Na tional League club have won five times and American League clubs the same number. This applies only to the series games since the National Commission took charge of the blue ribbon event In IMS. Captain Ira Thomas was one of the first to congratulate the Boston players on their victory after the last man had I be.n retired In the final fray. I The Athletic special was scheduled ! to arrive at North Philadelphia station at S o'clock thl mfcfiai, but was four I hours UXs- i! RETREAT A Gridiron Gleanings From Leading Colleges Pennsylvania's Football Team Is Very Much En couraged by Showing Against Lafayette and Hope to Beat Navy Satur day. By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL BiiTlng accidents or some surprising re versal of form the University of Penn sylvania coaches know what will be their line-up against the Navy here on Satur day. They will stand pat on tho lino from end to end, und In the backdeld they will make one substitution, Matthews fur Moffctt. The line-up, of course, Is not final, for no man in this sqund can ever feel sure he has his position won. The shift of Matthews from end to half back promises to be permanent. Ho was originally slated for a place In the back field nnu would have been a fixture there but for a dean!; of fiist-class ends. Then Assistant Coach Dickson took him and was fast convening him Into a capable end when he turned his nnklo and was out of tho sumo for 10 days. In the meantime Uiquhart and Alurdoek came to life on the two wings, and so long as they maintain their present stride and escape injuries nil Dlcksou will have to worry about will be the .question of substitutes. Matthews will add a great deal ot strength to the backfleld. Primarily he Is one of the heaviest men on tho team, weighing 1&S pounds, and with this ho combines a great deal of speed, ability to handle the forward pass nnd drop kick. Geoigo Brooke thinks that Mat thews has great possibilities as a drop kicker, and Biooke ought to know a drop kicker when he sees him. I'nfortunately, Matthews hasn't had much success in the d'up kicking line cither In games or prac tice. He kicks too low, but with the constant coaching ho will get from Brooke he ought to develop fast. Followers of the Pennsylvania team are anxious to see If Matthews Is more dependable as a drop kicker than Vree lAid as a place kicker. The fact that Vreeland came to Pennsylvania with a reeord of having kicktd nine Held goals fiom placement In a single season, as well as 24 out of W attempts at goals fiom touchdown, has determined the coaches to give him a thorough trial. Glenn Warner, the Indian coach, used to maintain that a good place kicker Is always better than a drop kicker, because he can take his time to kick, and if he Is at all accurate will score more goals. The varsity took a great deal of satis faction In beating the freshmen eleven yesterday. The youngsters had been out playing their elders so consistently that the one team was overrated and the other underrated. The fact that the var a'ty had the upper hand yesterday was a pretty good index of the Improvement this team has made. Even then there were a good many distressing faults in their play. The interference, which was well-nigh perfect against Iifayette, wasn't up to tjie mark yesterday. But tho spirit was there, and we may rea sonably look for this team to Improve steadily from this time on- ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 14.

JAKE SCHAEFER FALLS BEFORE SUTTON'S SKILL Youthful Player Loses to Experienced Opponent in Final 14.1 Billiard Matches. As the result of yesterday's games In the Professional Billiard Players' League, George Sutton's cxperclnce proved too much for Jake Schacfor In their 1200 polnt 14.1 billiard match at Alllnger's Academy. Score. 1200 to 819. The players met In thrco games at 400 points each nnd Sutton won easily on every occasion. In the afternoon game yesterday, young Sehaefer showed none of tho form that characterized his late father's play, and was like a novice in the hands of tho experienced Sutton. Time and again, Schuefer fell down on easy draw and carom shots, whllo Sutton, playing a careful, nursing game, rolled up points almost at will. On tho other hand, Schacfor appeared unable to get the Ivories In a good posi tion for a run, nnd even when ho did, failed to keep them together. Sutton's highest run was CI In the third Inning, while the best that Schuefer could do was a cluster of II late In the game, when tho Isaue wus all but decided. Sutton's youthful opponent showed much better billiards in the evening game, and came within an aco of defeating him. After getting away to a poor start, Schaefer really outplayed hli opponent, and held the lead up until the last mo ment, when an unfinished run of 61 car ried the latter to victory. Sutton wns very we.tk on open-tablo shots, and fell de)wn repeatedly on this stylo of tho game, while Schnefcr displayed a decided Improvement In his play of the afternoon ami deserved to win.

But the Macks took that game, then re turned to the ticket purchasers their money for the third game. This same thing has Just occurred and again proves that the national pastime is 00. the level.

Wo belleva that fully 100,000 men took advantage of this provision: farmers, either owners or lessees, with their families, making alto gether fully 400,000 hunt cis In this com monwealth last fall. Wo bellevo that an expenditure of $10 per man Is a fair esti mate of money spent in hunting, guns, ammunition, hunting clothes, rnllioad fare, uutomobllo expense and time, mak ing altogether $1,000,000 spent to tako gamo In Pennsylvania.

"I am told that I am the oldest game protector In point of service In tha I'nltcd States.

Tho sportsmen ot th3 Stato recognized theso conditions, nnd as n last resort turned to the before-mentioned resident hunter's license law, which requires each hunter, when hunt ing off land upon which he resides nml cultivates, to secure a license, costing $1.
