"Would Hardly Fall Victims to Wild
cat Schemes.
By FRANK G. MENTCE
BOSTON', Oct. H. Promoters of wild
cat schemes are hereby warned to pasi
tip tho "Boston Braves." The world's
baseball champions are wise young men
and they have resolved that not opo cent
of their winnings of J2S1S each will fall
Into the hands of promoters or "con"
men.
However, persons who havo good pro
ducing farms to 6ell, or who control
banks that pay good Interest may ap
proach the champions without risking
the possibility of being booted across the
threshold. Tho boys are open to reason
on the question of farming and banking.
"I'll assassinate the first person that
approaches me on the subject of Invest
ment," declared Captain John Rvers. "I
Invested all I had a few yeara ago and
I lost It all. No mora Investments. My
little roll goes right Into the bank and
the soundest bank I can find."
"Going to use soma of yours honey,
mooning?" "Hank" Gowdy was asked.
It may be recalled that Hank, the bat
ting hero of the series, was reported as
about to become a benedict.
"Nix on that honeymoon talk." respond
ed Hank. "I'm not going to get married
not right away at least.
"And. say. I wish you would deny that
report about me getting married. There's
a couple of nice girts I know, and If
they hear that I'm supposed to marry
another girl they will cjt me."
"But what are you going to do with
the money?" we asked again.
"Well. I guess I win spend Ave cents
of It buying myself a glass of bear. It's
been a long time since I had any beer
uctji in iruuiiiitt. juu unow, out 1 gueh3
five cents worth won't hurt me now. Tha
rest of the money goea Into the bank."
Following the election of E. P. Smith
ns captain of tho Central High School
cross-country team, the pquad has got
down to work In earnest. Doctor O'Brien
has been sending the men over the regu
lar distance several times a week nnd has
cut the band to 15 men. who will be re
tained for tho rest of tho season. In
addition to P.oss, Tarr, Lultens, Broom
flcld and Mcllalo. all of whom ran last

By BERTON BRALEY
BOSTON. Oct. II. It's over now, the
games nre done, tho Braves are victors In
tho fray, we'll see no moro of hit or run
until spring comes again this way; so
let us cheer that Brave array whoso
triumph Is so nobly writ, the bunch that
never knew dismay, tho team that simply
wouldn't quit!
You'll rend statistics by tho ton, you'll
read descriptions by tho dray, of Just ex
actly how they won and all the dotall of
the play, but back of all tho experts say
of how the Bostons ran or hit, this fact
stands out as plain as day They are tho
tenm that wouldn't quit!
Sinco baseball nnnal3 have begun no
hurdler bunch has dared tho fray, no
blows of ndverso fato could stun the
courage of such men as they, for when
the outlook's bleak and gray and hope
Feems lost, their teeth they grit und turn
and light nnd win tho day Tha team that
simply would not quit!
The lesson's blggor than the game, It
comes to overy mortal straight that If
your heart Is nil aflame with courage, you
can conquer fato, that he who lights
though thick nnd thin with nil his
strength nnd skill nnd wit. Is certain nt
the last to win, Just like tha team that
wouldn't quit!
There's not much more a poet can write,
this final game wns quiet beside the fever
nnd the fight of Monday's thrilling rlotj
Pick Rudolph's pitching seemed to dazo
the Macklan aggregation, they fanned or
popped In various ways which caused no
celfbrntlon. Shawkoy and Pennock faced
tho Braves not many hits they ceded "em,
but Boston's hitters swung their staves
and got hltB when they needed 'em. And
when It comei to fielding stuff well, they
were there, and that's enough.
Rudolph and Tylor nnd James, Evers,
Whlttcd nnd Mann, Gowdy nnd Connolly,

By HUGH S. FUDLERTON
BOSTON, Oct. U.-The thing that
couldn't has occurred. Tho utterly ab
surd has become u reality. Tho impos
sible and vain Is true. Boston's Braves
are world's champloim nfter tho most as
tounding world's series ever played.
They beat tho great Athletics so easily
that yesteiday tho crowd seemed moro
like a congtcgatlon at a wako than a
throng watching tho llnalo of n world's
championship series.
It was not as if the Athlotlcs broko
nnd threw away their gamea. They did
not. They played their gamo and played
It perfectly und wero beaten by tho rush
anu acierminntlon of tho Braves. Tha
Athletics played Just ns they always do,
figured tho plays tho same way and wern
stopped by pitching.
The Braves played moro truly to their
form than any team In a world's scries
ever did. They were less than C per cent,
abovo what was expected of thorn, and
tho Athlotlcs wero less than S per cent,
below what ho expocted them to do. But
the Braves, by that Invincible and un
undorstandable courage that carried them
through tho National League season,
swept the Athletics off their feet and
beat them.
It was not youth against ago; weary
team against a young and hustling one,
but It was a fighting, aggressive, un
daunted club against ono playing tho
sumu uccoruing to prescribed ruVi and
trying to match skill and sclenco iigninnt
nerve nnd verve and aggressive attacks.
The final game was almost a foregone
conclusion. The Braves were filled with
that Indomitable spirit that had carried
armies nnd men to victory, and tho Ath
letics, beaten and whipped at overy turn
and stopped by overy kind of pitching,
dropped.
It was a calm nnd unemotional gamo
in spite of tho fact that the ex and pres
cnt Mayors of Boston cluttered up the
Playing Held and press-ngonted them
selves. There was about as much of tho
emotional as there Is to killing day on
the farm. The Athletics went along
steadily, Ftolldly, and Pather Mack re
malned like a long Icicle on the bench
while his men retired innini: nfter inning
without forcing tha assault unon Ttudolnh
who was pitching a magnificent gamo of
ball. On tho other hand. Slallings' men
wero hustling, fighting, rioting on the
bench, scratching gravel and winning.
They were the first to score, and al
though the Mackmen evened It up, thov
came through with two more smashes
that drove In runs.
Today J. Evers, ex-tdioe-shop man, of
Troy, N. v., Is the greatest man In tho
world. It was his fierce drive over sec
ond base that sent two Braves scurrying
homeward and put the result beyond
doubt. Up to that point It had been a
long series of question marks. The Ath
letics were hitting hard for five Innings,
but always nfter the chance to scorq
was gone. Onco they managed to set
tno hits together, but sharp work by the
Brave Inlleld nulled tho hits. The smash
of the game was caubed by a runner try
ing to take two bases. Ha had them
won. although he novor should have tried
to take two bags on n lilt at that Mage
of the game, and he was crowded oft
tho bag and nailed Tha other cham-e
that the Athletics lost wns when Walsh,
after seemingly stowing away the game
with a hit, walked Into a trap and was
caught off seoond with no one out. Evera
took the throw with one hand, shoved
It onto the runner and broke up tho
battle.
From that play on the Athletics were
a beaten club. They showed It in their
every movement, and they went to de
struction In the Bnmt (julet, constrained
way they have won championships.
Continued from I'nito One
had como down to watch the fighting.
Everything possible Is being done to pro
tect life and property."
A report from Colonel Hatfield at Nnco
said it few Mexicans crossed the border
by mistake, but thero wn no nttempt
to Invndo the United Stntes, ns reported.
Tho Mexicans Immediately wero turned
lack. Bullets aro dropping continually
In Nnco, Ariz., Colonel Hatfield added,
nnd threfi persons In tho town have been
wounded. A Mexican womnn nnd her
baby sustained Ilcah wounds In tho leg
nnd arm, and Leo Hale, nn American,
was shot In tho hand.
FANS AGAIN IN TICKET LINE;
TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK
Scalpers Again on tho Job, Offering
to Discount the Fasteboards.
Philadelphia bnsobaU fans once more
assembled nt Glmbel's today, standing
patiently In a line which led to the ticket
window, but they were not tho Jubilant
throng that appeared thero last week!
thote was a typical funeral "gloom" on
every one's face and there was a notice
able silence nil along the line. There was
no laughter, no gbod-natured criticism of
the "Braves."
Thero wero scalpers there, too, buying
tickets, not selling them. Tho selling was
being dono by thoso who stood In line,
Impatient to receive their share of tho
$U,C33 refunded for seats purchased In
anticipation of n third game In this city.
Behind the ticket window sat "Uncle"
John Shlbe, He did not look cheerful as
he doled out money to the Impatient fans,
nor wero they cheerful ns they took It.
They were just plain "peeved" nnd there
wns a good deal of 111 nature shown In
the Jostling line. The scalpers wero the
only light-hearted people to bo seen In
the neighborhood. They politely offered
to relieve newcomers of tho tiresome
standing In lino by buying their tlckots
of course, nt a Uttlo discount, Just C per
cent. but then, said they, think of the
trouble saved, Tho only thing lacking to
make the scone complete was a band to
play tho funeral march.
Tickets nro being redeemed In Glmbel's
Moro until S o'clock this afternoon, but
from tomorrow on they must be taken
to Shlbe Park. There was no time limit
on tho cashing of the tickets, for thoy
will bo ns good a year from now as they
aro today. Only last Thursday several
tickets unused last year wero redeemed,
whllo another fan who had such tickets
remarked that he did not want to redeem
them, but had them framed, for the series
had convinced him that baseball was "on
tho square."

Structure At Atco Has Been Scene Of
Many Accidents.
The Camden County Board of Free
holders today decided to open negotia
tions with the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad Company for straightening the
Atco bridge over the railroad tracks. Nu
merous aicldcnts hate occurted at this
point the last few years.
There is a dangerous curve on the
bridge, which carries the White Jlcrsa 1
pike over the tracks. Philadelphia auto
Is U use the road on their way to Atlantic
City and ether South Jersey resorts.
Although the Athletics lost tho world's
champlonBhlp, Pitcher Joe Iiuah won his
bride, despite the fact that ho arrived
hero on a late train.
Hush was married nt 11:15 o'clock, this
morning, but had to rush on the homo
stretch. In fact, tho little pitcher didn't
breathe a sigh of relief until he and Miss
Sylvia McMahon, of 2337 Lehigh uvenue,
wero at the altar.
As soon ns the Athletic' train touched
North Philadelphia, Bush darted out as
If ho was bound for the homo plate, and
took a taxi to the home of his bride.
lie had less than an hour to get into
his weddlnK togs, but Miss McMahon be
lieves In teamwork, so sho went with
him on a quick shopping" tour, and with
her aid and approval the happy pitcher
selected his wedding outfit with tastu
ami speed.
Then there was a nulck ride back to
the house and very boon all was ready.
Fortunately for Rush, his brldo lived
right acrrs the street from St. Colomba's
Church, the scene of the wedding. In a
few moments the wedding party was en
route and without a stop it proceeded up
the main aisle of tho church to the air
of the music which will live forever.
James Walsh, of the Mack team, was
Ixsst man and Miss Ethel I.tury, of Phil
mont. Pa., was bridesmaid.
The ceiemouy was porformwl by the
Itev. Michael Crane. The bride wore a
blue tailor-made gown and a black hat.
The church was crowded, but the only
members of the Athletic team present
were Home Itun Frank Baker and Harry
Davis.
All the members of the team would
have been present had It not been for a
misunderstanding. Some who arrived
after the ceremony was over were greatly
disappointed.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bush were leaving
the church they were greeted with a
shower of rice, and Bush was glad there
were no baseballs among It.
Following the ceremony there was a
reception at tne bride's home. Tomorrow
Mr, nrd Mrs. Bush, mill leave for the
bridegroom' home at Bralnerd, Ulan.
Loyalty raised to tho "Nth" power
marked tho return of tho beaten Ath
letics at North" Philadelphia station at
10:10 o'clock this morning, four hours
Into. Two of tho six count 'em fans
who greeted tlio erstwhile heavy maulors
of the horsehldo remarked as the train
pulled Into tho station:
"We'd be here if you camo homo In
coffins, boys."
Blood tics drow two of the fans to tho
station. They nro Kugene Davis, tho
11-year-old son of Harry Davis, and the
aiov. n. a. cnyaer, nn up-State clergy
man, who la Davis' brothor-ln-Iaw.
Tho loyal-to-tho-lnst-dltch fans aro
James Millhollnnd nnd Randal Johnson,
of 2310 Natrona streot. motorman and
conductor respectively of a Fourth and
Itltner streets lino trolley car. Another
- ,.V."ua 1'un- a special delivery boy,
of 1316 North Smedloy street. Tlio sixth
ran was no more desirous of tho lime
llRht than tho Athletics. He refused to
give his name.
STILL THERE WERE CHEERS.
Tho train thnt brought tho beaten men
back from Boston was duo to arrive at
6:10 o'clock. No one was present for tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to ex
plain the delay. The fens thought It
was a deliberate attempt to "rub It In"
on tho players, having that train late.
Cheers that sounded vain and hollow In
the arches of the big station were made
when the nattily dressed players began
to file out of tho coaches. Tho noise
attracted tho attention tho Athlotlcs' re
turn had failed to attract, and station
hands, porters, messengers nmi ngmm.
gcrs waiting for trains assembled on tho
cutsklrts of tho little band of fanB. Thoy
also cheered, but qulotly,
Connie Mack left the station with
"Ben" Shlbo, president of the Athletics,
In an automobile.
"Tho best team won." said Mr. Mack.
"They played better ball, there is no
doubt of that. I will not sny that I
would like to eeo Boston win the Na
tional League pennant next year, be
cause that would look as though we were
out for revenge. They are a game club
and they deserved to win."
Tho players all refused to talk, refer
ring Inquirers to Mack. Joe Bush, whose
wedding was scheduled to take place at
11:15 o'clock this morning nt St. Colum
ba's Church, 24th street and Iehlgh ave
nue, hurried out of the station with more
energy than any of the other players.
Bush declared the delay of the train
had upset the arrangements for his weil.
ding. Ho expects It to tako place soma
time this afternoon. He sent a telegram
to Miss Sylvia McMahon, his bride-to-be,
from New York, notifying her that the
. truln was late.
Tens of thousands of rabid fans did not
greet tho Athletics when the former
heroes of world's series conflicts got off
their train. No extra tratllo police had
been assigned by Director Porjler to
handle the Immense throng. No detectives
were on hand to prevent pickpockets from
operating In the crowd.
Brass bands and men with flaring red
totches were not present. Tho fans did
not put tho Athletics on their shoulders
and carry them out of the station amid
riotous cheering. The Mayor was not

BOSTON, Oct. 13. Well, It's all over,
and tho club thnt played tho better class
of ball unquestionably was tho winner. I
do not want to attempt to conceal the
fact that wo were outplayed In every par
ticular. In tho first placo I cannot ex
pect to do It, and in the second place I
want to glvo tho now world's champions
all tho credit to which they nro Justly en
titled. Throughout tho cntlro scries we Bcomed
to bo In bad on nearly everything wo
tried, whereas ovorythlng they undertook
usually went through. In fact, tho only
thing about which wo called tho true turn
was tho number of games played In tho
series, namely, four. Only Instead of in
being the winners, wo nre now tho
losers.
Analyzing each gamo separately, the
third ono, lu which Joe Bush pitched,
was tlio only ono which wo really had a
llccnso to win. This gnme, to our way
of thinking, was tho turning point In tho
scries, Had wo won that nffalr, I am
confident that the final result would havo
been different, but things broko against
us and wo wore thrown on tho defensive.
Starting tho last gamo we still were con
fident that wo would strlko our stride
nnd get going right, but It was not to be.
In the first place wo wero up ngalnst too
good pitching. James and Rudolph pitch
ed almost unboatablo ball. They held the
upper hand at all times, really making
our best batters look bad. As long nn
I have seen our present club play, I can
never recall a tlmo when wo looked as
helpless with tho sticks as In tho Horles
Just passed, Not only were our attempts
to connect fruitless, but at times they
seemed even ridiculous, so far did wo
mlfis some balls.
Particularly was this true with Rudolph
pitching, as ho used a slow ball very
often, nnd against thl3 we were never
able to connect. In tho last gamo wo hit
him harder than In tho first, but hh
ability to keep our blows scattered kept
him out of danger.
OPPORTUNITY MISSED.
In tho fourth Inning wo missed a good
opportunity to get the Jump on tho
Braves when Baker's slnglo, which struck
Schmidt on the Jaw, wns followed by a
hard drive to left by Mclnnls, on which
"Bake," by good running, made third,
only to havo "Stuffy" nipped trying to
make second on tho throw-In. If he
had made It. this would have put a man
on second and third and necessarily
drawn the Boston Infield In with only
one man out. Boston broko tho lco In
their half and scored ono run, duo pri
marily to my falluro to handle two
ground halls which Connolly nnd Whlt
ted, respectively, hit to me, but their ad
vantage was short-lived, as Barry's sin
gle, a fielder's choice and Shawkey's dou
blo put us on even tetms onco more.
AVlth tho exception of Plank's game,
carelessness on the part of our pitchers
put us under a severe handicap. Particu
larly was this truo In the gamo Bush
pitched. In which the Boston Brnves ran
bases almost nt random, ns ono or two
runs resulted from these pilfers. It was
not hard to see ono reason why we lost.
"Wally" Schang, to our way of thinking,
came In for a lot of unjust criticism be
cause his throwing was erratic. How
ever, when It is taken Into consideration
that Bush gave them such running lends,
it is not so hard to understand why
Schang"s throws were necessarily hurried
and consequently not truo to the mark.
PITCHERS WORKED POORLY,
Not only did our pltchors show careless
ness In watching base runners, but they
worked poorly on some batters who
proved to bo dangerous antagonists.
Gowdy and Evers stood out prominently
as Individuals whom our twirlors could
not seem to fathom. Both hit like fiends,
and, fortunately for us, they distrib
uted their numerous baso hits where
they worked to the best advantage and to
our eventual overthrow. Outsido of the
Boston pitchers, I am of the opinion,
Gowdy, Evers and Mnranville stand out
pre-eminently. At the fcamo tlmo Big
Schmidt, In fact, all of the liobtou club
Elmply oulclabsid us la the entlro series
Taken Individually or collectively, they
certainly hit better, ran tho bases bet
ter, and at least fielded as well as our
aggregation.
Wo simply were lacking with the tlmelv
hits and nil of us with the exception of
Eddie Murphy seemed to bo off our stude.
Our little right fielder a! ono maintained
tho quality of ball throughout the seiies
which he Is capable of playing. All the
lest of us were either off lu some par
ticular or other, principally our hitting.
On tho otlur hand, tho Bostou crowd
could not seem to do anything wrong,
and whenever a hit was needed soma one
of them was always thero to produce.
Furthermore, wo used bad Judgment. I
do not mean our manager, but our play- ,
ers. For Instance, In tho first game after
Boston had acquired such a commanding
lead and It was almost a forogone con
clusion, wo never attempted to find out
anything- about Rudolph By this I mean
wnetner it would be more to our advan
tage, say, to wait him out, or if burning
would upset him.
NO BUNTS ATTEMPTED.
There was not a man on our club who
even attempted to make n bunt other
than to sacrillce throughout the entire
series. Even, though thee things might
not have accomplished anything for ui.
In that particular same, thero was a pos
sibility of their being valuable to u
later on. but that la all too lata now.
Again, In the third game, wa realized
after it was loo lute that Gowdy should
have been pasted iuteutlonally with two
out and Maranvllle on second base, but
he wasn't, and subsequently doubled to
left.
Now that It Is all over wa are not
a bit ashamed to acknowledge defeat and
reallie we did cot exhibit a qua! ty of.
can in the last series that entitled m
to any more than what wo lecelvcd. How-
