three games. The odds then will be well
In tho Phillies' favor, but even under
those conditions It will bo no cinch.
For even then Chalmers, nixey, Mayer
or Demarco must land a game from Fos
ter, Ituth, Shore or Leonard, whero Bos
ton has all tho best of It.
If Alexander wins two out ot his three
starts which Is Jifst about what he will
do, certainly nothing less then Chalmers,
etc., must win two more. Chalmers, nix
ey, Mayer and Demaree must beat back
n pitching staff that ovorthew Covclcskle,
Dubuc, James and Dauss, backed up by
Cobb, Crawford and Vcach.
It can bo done, but It's quite an assign
ment as assignments go.
The Two Pitching Staffs
Alexander stands in baseball today
among pitchers wnere Mnthcwson stood
10 years ago. Tho Bed Sox will find him
the hardest man to beat they have ever
tackled, for they have never beforo faced
n. pitcher with that puzzling side-arm mo
tion or one who had such control of a
low ball, tho hardest ball of them all to
hit.
Tho Red Pox can npplaud their lucky
fortune It they beat big Alec one time out
of threo starts. But, having accomplished
this task, they will then have nil tho
best of It with Foster, Shore, Ituth and
Leonard to throw against tho rest of
Moran's staff.
George Chalmers Is a first-class pitcher.
Thero Is good stuff In the arms of nixoy,
Mayer and Demaree. Also .McQuillan.
But none of theso can bo figured upon a
par nith any one of the Bed Sox four
nl' fine pitchers and more than ordinarily
good against tho test.
For at home and on the road, at tight
spots along the way, no club has been
ablo to break through their barbed-wlro
defenses not even an attack launched by
tho greatest attacking machine of tho
year tho Tigers led by Cobb and Craw
ford. Tho Tigers wero unable to bag a series
from the Bed Sox out of the six played.
They won but eight of their 22 games
against tho leaders and the Tigers, with
a batting average above .265 am a ma
chine always rushing forward 1th ag
grcsslvo speed may be used as a com
plete, test
Picking the Pitchers
Moran has Alexander primed for threo
starts. Next to Big Alex, Mayer and
Demaree have done the best work, with
Rlxey and Chalmers trailing a length or
so back.
Yet Chalmers, now In fine condition, Is
rated by many as Alexander's main aide.
Which doesn't mean mat Moran Isn't
banking Just as heavily upon Scissors
Mayer, the lank young citizen with the
spiral twist.
Carrlgan will have a harder time pick
ing his pitchers. Shore has won 20 games
and lost 7; Foster fcas won 22 games and
lost 3; Leonard, after a lato start, has
won 11 games and dropped 6; Ituth haa
attached 16 victories against 8 defeats.
These four wero the ones used with al
most equal effectiveness In the more Im
portant scries of the year. There Is no
vast difference In their work upon a gen
eral average. All four can throw t'nat
baseball, which Is a leading feature. Fos
ter probably has a slight shade on the
bunch, with Shore rated second. But
any one of the four Is well capable of
giving even Alexander a close, hard bat
tle. And any one of tho four will carry
to battle an advantage over any other
Philadelphia pitcher.
But for Boston to win, one of the four
must beat Alexander In ono of his threo
starts. Which will develop into a pretty
fair afternoon's work plus a trifle on tho
side.

KILLEFER
greatest catchers In tho country, and
Washington.
Klllefer was bom at Paw Paw, Mich., In 1888,
and started playing professional ball with the
Kalamazoo team, of tho South Michigan Leacuo,
Jn 1907. In 1908 he was with Austin, of the Texas
League, which club sold him to Houston In the
spring of 1909.
Immediately upon Joining Houston Klllefer de
veloped into the best catcher In the league, and
was purchased by the St. Louis Americans In
the fall.
After a brief trial with the Drowns, Klllefer
was sent to Buffalo, of the Kastern League, now
known as the International League, In the fall
of 1910 he was purchased by the Phillies. In the
spring of 1911 Klllefer was turned back; to Buf
falo for further seasonlngT but was recalled in the
fall. '
In tho spring of 1912 Dopln was In poor shape,
his right leg having been broken in St. Louis In
July, 1911, and Klllefer had a chance to mask
regularly.
Although Dooin was manager of the team and
got back Into shape by the middle of the season,
because he realized that the Paw Paw
that time Klllefer has steadily Improved
a game with the Feds. He Is a rlght-
height and weighs 160 pounds.
LEDGE-PHILADELPHIAt MONDAY, OCTOBER
RESENTS
EFFORTS TO ROB
MORAN OF DUES
Chance and Dooin Did Not
Teach Philly Leader His
Baseball Sense
PRAISE FOR STALLtNGS
Tho unspeakably absurd statement of
two basebnll experts, ono of whom said
that all the baseball Tat Moran knew
he learned from Frank Chance, nnd tho
other that tho Philly leader Kot his
knowledge from being under tho "price
less tutelage of Charley Dooin," are ridi
culed in unmistakable language by Johnny
pcrs. The scrappy second-sarkcr of tho
llraves gives Moran the entire credit for
brlnelng victory to Broad and Lehluh, and
says that his knowledge or tho game Is
dt'o to his own study and experience and
not from cither Chance or Dooin.
"The Idea of nnvbody saying that Pat
Jloran learned baseball under Chance Is'
so absurd thnt It should hardly bo no
ticed, yet such a statement makes ono
red that In Justice to Pat some ono ought
to say something. When It comes down
to brass tncks. the Idea of any one learn
inr baseball under Chance Is foolish
cnougli, but for a man of Moran's base
ball brains It Is preposterous.
"I was with tho Cubs when Moran wns
on our catching staff. lie was then tho
brnlnlost catcher on tho tenm, and what
ho know about the batters, what to pitch
to them nnd what not Is the sum total
of whdt Chance didn't know. When we
were winning pennants for the Cubs we
were dolnr It In spite of Chance and not
btcauso of him or his alleged knowledgo
ot baseball.
"I'll tell you that there were always
eight men out thero who were managers.
They knew Just what to do under any
conceivable condition nnd they didn't fall
In tho pinches either from lack of phy
sical ability or from lack of baseball In
sight. Hut It wasn't Chance that gave
them this Insight. They were men of
experience, nnd, I dare say, they would
have done better without Chance, al
though, of course, at times Frank did
play a good game nt first base and wns
useful nt tho bat before ho was Injured
so often by being hit In the head by
pitched balls.
"But that's getting off the subject
started about Pat Moran. He Is the mnn
who brought this Philadelphia club to
Its first pennant, nnd ho Is the mnn
who should get nil tho credit. Of course
you havo to have players and good ones
to win, but the Phillies have had teams
before -that In my opinion far surpassed
tho present ono In a 'paper' comparison.
But that paper stuff doesn't win. It's
good, sound baseball, and for a team of
mediocre ability to win It Is essential
that the manager do the directing and
do It correctly. That Is Just what Moran
has done. He knows how to handle his
players and he knows what to do on tho
ball field.
"I believe in giving n manager all the
credit that Is due him. I don't give
Chance the credit for managerial ability
because I don't think ho hns any. Just
look what he did In New York when he
really had tho opportunity to show some
thing. He fell down because he Is not the
student of the game that he Is credited
with being.
"Take tho caso of Qeorgo Stalllngs. I
think that he, and he alone, wns respon
sible for our winning the pennant Inst
season. I know thnt a lot of articles havo
appeared In, newspapers ana other periodi
cals In which I myself have been given n
lot of credit for winning that pennant and
the world's series. But I'll tell you now
that I should not have the credit. It was
Stalling:, and Stalllngs alone. '
"As for Moran getting any knowledge
from Dooin well, you know that Dooin
was manager of tho Phillies when they
had a better pitching staff than they have
now. had a harder hitting team and a
better dcfcnslvo club. That Is all that
need be said about that.
"Moran got his knowledge of baseball
by experience and Etudy. He has been a
keen student of tho game ever since ho
has been In It, and by constantly putting
his theories to tho test he has developed
a wonderful and profound knowledgo of
baseball.
"Personally I am dellchtcd that Pat has
succeeded so well, and I think he will
continue his success ngalnst tho Bed Sox
In the world's series."

"BIG SIX" ELEVENS SHOW ONLY LITTLE
STRENGTH AGAINST THE MINOR TEAMS
Penn's Game Saturday Reveals Glaring Lack of Block
ing Ability, Poor Tackling and Want of Sustained
Attack Review of Results of Important Plays
By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELL
With tho football season less than two
weeks old nil members of the "Big Blx"
have been lee badly shaken up by tho
"minor colleges." heretofore classified as
practice opponents. Ynlo has been beaten
and held scoreless. Harvard and Pennsyl
vania have been scored on by straight
football, and only the lucky Interception
of a forward pass enabled tho Crimson
to escape a 0 0 score. Princeton nnd
Dartmouth have so far oscaped being
scored on, but all three have played sonic
uncomfortably closo grimes. The follow
ing table will show what the "Big Six"
have accomplished to ante nnd what haa
been done to thorn:

Ynlo's 10-0 defen. ny Virginia was the
stunning surprise of Saturday. Tho
Southerners never before figured prom
inently nnd an easy Ynlo victory was
looked for. Thero Is no question but
thnt Yale blunders had moro to do with
the result than Virginia's superior
strength. One persistent fumbler can
undo all tne good of his tentnmiitcs, and
when fumbles nro made In tho shadow
of n tertin'a own gonl and tho ba)l cap
tured by tho opposition tho result spells
disaster. Captain Wilson, of Yale, has
always been prone to fumble nnd his it
tempt to execute one of thoso foolhardy
lateral posset! on his own 15-yard mark
brought about Yale's defeat.
With the exception of the first few min
utes of tho game, when Yale rushed the
ball nearly- half the length of the field,
the Kits' attack seems to havo been Im
potent nnd In sharp contrast to the ginger
shown in the opening game n week ago
against Mnlne. With tho exception of
this first march down tho field the Vir
ginia eleven was always ablo to cope
with Yale's attack and even Yale's com
plicated lntcral forward pass game was
no mystery to the Southerners. To be
sure, Ynlo will recover, but a defeat "o
early In tho season must be peculiarly
distressing to Coach Trank Hlnkcy and
his backers, who nro trying to Install n.
new coaching system. Yalo men havo
buined their bridges bi-hlnd them nnd
nre determined to work out their revolu
tionary system of football attack no mat
ter how many games they lose. .Vfter
Yale had been swamped 36-0 last year
by Harvard there were some timid souls
who thought Hlnkey should be displaced
beforo further disasters were suffered,
but the answer of tho Yalo authorities
was to give Tllnkcy two m6re years In
which to mnke good.

write a book of criticisms on th Tenn-aylvanla-Franklln
and Marshall game,
which the Quakers won, 10-fc But to the
spectators It was a thrilling fight with
enough of the spectacular open football
to prevent tho monotony or such farces
as the Albright game. Pennsylvania de
served to win. and had tho Quakers been
far enough advanced In their scheme oif
attack to have mado their offense of a
more sustained character their rtal su-.
porlorlty would havo been more pro
nounced. This, however, should not de
tract In tho slightest from the credit
which must be given to the Lancaster
collerlans for their clean, spirited play
throughout, nnd particularly for tho in
dividual work of Quarterback Mylln.
whose playing wns tho best on the field.
There were two distressing weaknesses
shown by Pennsylvania, poor tackling by
the entire team and weak Interference
by the backs. Both nre rudimentary,
faults nno tho conches wilt have to re
double their efforts to correct them.
Agnlnst n team of tho character of
Pittsburgh they would be fatal. Through
out tho game the Quakers tried to over
run the man carrying the ball Instead of
bringing him down with a sharp tackle.
This was particularly true when Mvlln
ran more than half the length of the field
for tho visitors' only touchdown. Four
different men were near enough to tackle
him. yet not n. Quaker laid hands on him
until he fell over tho line. Berry and
Williams were between him and the
Pennsylvania goal, yet they allowed the
runner to pass between them. Berry,
however, probably would have gotten him
but for slipping on ,the soggy gridiron.
Howard Berry Is one of the most nat
ural players Pennsylvania, has ever had.
but tho coaches wero bitterly disap
pointed ovor his failure to Interfere for
his team mates and over his poor tack
ling. If ho corrects these faults and
develops n fighting leadership he may
be. n second Stevenson: without them he
villi have trouble to beat out Bell for
tho quarterback post, because Bell, while
lacking Berry's brilliancy, la full of fight.
The Quaker forwards played better than
the backs. They were on their toes all
the time, nnd on kicks Mathews, "Wray
and Harris were again down tho field
with tho ends. While they charged hard
they did not, however, always succeed In
opening holes for tho backs. It was
alleged holding by Nelll that caused the
Quakers to lose a touchdown when Qulga
ley, on a fnko kick, made a 40-yard run
for what ho thought was a touchdown.,
The linesman claimed that Nelll had held
his opponent, but the Quakers players,
whlla not publicly criticising an ofTlcIal,
maintained that Nelll merely fell on his
01 poncnt and stayed there without using
tho hands, as ho had a perfect right
to do.
