PACTS ABOUT "GRANT"
"By Grantland Rice." That headlnR
above any story la enough In Itself to
attract the attention o sports readers
from Maine to California, The Evbmino
LDac Is going to sire Us readers not
only the privilege of reading Mr. Nice's
cerement on the world's series games,
but will also have him send In & running
story of the play each afternoon as the
contests progress.
No sports writer In the United Btatea
Is considered more versatile than Grant
land nice, and none has keener, truer
Insight Into sports matters than he. Hav
ing been a star baseball, football and
basketball player at his alma mater,
Vanderbllt University, Grant Rice knows
sports from the Inside out and all back
again.
While In college Rice was noted for be
ing one of the best shortstops and bats
men In collegiate rank's. He received a
flattering offer from one of the clubs
in the Southern Association, Class A,
League, but he turned It down to dabble
with the Ink.
After serving several short sentences
on Southern newspapers. Rice was called
to New Tork, where he has been ever
since. He was first connected with that
noble sheet termed the Nashville Dally
News. On this paper Rice was the society
editor, market reporter, dramatic critic,
sports editor and gleaner of police courts'
news. When he had finished the little
duties attached to these offices and titles
he was allowed to go home and sleep a
couple of hours. Boon after ho departed
from this paper It died suddenly one
wintry morn, was burled and forgotten
until now.
Things have changed for O. Rice since
those early days of journalism. He Is
now one of the foremost sports writers
In; America and la an amateur golfer of
unquestioned ability. He can beat "F. P.
A.f playing tennis, but thus far he has
never been up against William Johnson or
Holla Bjurstedt
All of which hasn't a great deal to do
with "this here serious" which Rice Is
going to cover for the Evknino Ledger
and la going to do It In such' a way that
every fan In Philadelphia will want to
read It.

AS PHILS BEAT SOX
Centlnord from rage One
only Phllly base hit that want out of the
diamond. Shore passed four men and
struck out two.
The Phillies appeared In the early In
nings to be nervous, but they soon over
came this and began playing with that
certainty which does not admit of de
feat. The only error of the local club
was made by Luderus In the ninth In
ning on Henrlkaen's hot grounder-
The Phillies were first to score. Shore
had held the situation well In hand dur
ing the first three Innings, but Faskert
brought the crowd to their feet In the
fourth with a ringing single to right
centre.
He moved up on Cravath's sacrifice ntid
Luderus' infield out. Whltted bounded a
high slow one over Bhoro'a head, which
Barry made a desperate attempt to field
but was too late. Paskert scored the
first run on this hit In the meantime
the Red Sox had gotten a, hit an lnlng
oft Alexander. They continued this for
eight succcsslvo innings, but whenever s
Red Sox runner got on tho paths, Alex
showed thsm a curve ball and a fast ore.
which were absolutely unhtttable. The
Red Sox tied the score In the eighth In
nine.
Scott poppd out, but Speaker drew n
pass, lioblltiel was thrown out by Btock,
and Speaker moved up to second. Duffy
Lewis came to the bat with the applause
of his followers ringing In his ears and
crashed his second hit of the game to
left field, sending Speaker across the
plate. Gardner sent a tor rifle drive to
centre, which Paskert caught after a
long run by leaping Into the air near tho
bleacher wall.
He was cheered for fully five minutes
after making this spectacular play. The
Philadelphia fans stood up In tho eighth
Inning and noisily called on their team
to win. They responded by scoring twice.
(After Alexander was thrown out Stock
was passed. Bancroft then shot a drivo
over second base, which Barry nailed
with his bora hand.
As Foon as the pennant winners ap
peared tho bleacherltes, 7500 strong, rose
and burst forth Into wild cheering In
honor of the first pennant winning club
that the Philadelphia National League
has ever produced.
The bleacher stands were packed at the
hour, but comparatively few fans had
taken their reserved sections In the grand
stand and boxes. The Phillies Immedi
ately went to their dugout, where Pat
distributed balls, and the players began
to warm up on the side line as the. spec
tators again began to applaud them.
After a few minutes of this preliminary
work Al Dcmaree stepped Into the pitch
ers' box and the Phillies began their
batting practice.
CHEERED AT PRACTICE.
Each time that a long drive shot away
from the bat of "Cactus" Cravath and
Fred Luderus, tho cheering was renewed
by ovory rooter In the Inclosure. In the
meantime. Bill Carrlgan led his men
across In front of tho outfield bleachers,
marching down the foul line to the visi
tors' dugout. Hummel's band played
"Tessle," In honor of the visitors, as they
began their preliminary work! At this
time the people were sifting through
the turnstiles and wending their way
down the aisles to take possession of
their precious seats.
The army of photographers, bedecked
with yellow badges, made a bee-line for
the Boston players and aimed at the
American League champions.
Shortly after this the Red Sox were
given the privilege of the field and began
batting with Carl Mays In the box. Tris
Speaker and Harry Hooper pounded
several long drives against tho right-field
wall and dropped a couple Into the centre
field bleachers, but were unable to shoot
the pill Into Broad street The band con
tinued to play popular music while the
Red Sox were cracking out base hits off
their young hurler.
At 1 o'clock the Phillies took the field
for defensive practice. OH had been
burned on the diamond for several hours
this morning In sufficiently large quan
tities completely to dry tho ground
around the plate, the pitchers' box and
first and third bases.
Back of second base and around the
shortfleld the ground was slippery, but
this did not prevent Dave Bancroft from
electrifying the crowd with the series of
brilliant stops and accurate throws to
Luderus. As usual, Pat Moran batted to
the Inftelders, while Jack Adams did the
catching. Eppa Rlxey and Baumgartner
smashed out the long flies to the outfield
ers. BOSTON ROOTERS ON
PARADE AFTER GAME
The Loyal Four Hundred
March About Field With
Their Band
The 400 Royal Rooters from Boston
paraded around the field after the game
between the Red Sox and the Phillies to
day. Their bond went bravely ahead and
played just as though nothing had hap
pened. The 400 were surrounded by laughing
fans, who tossed all sorts of second and
third rate humor at the defeated but
hopeful ones.
"Play the Dead Marchl" yelled some
one.
"Walt, wait walt-walt-walt" chanted
the Boston men, following In the foot
steps of their band. One of them shouted
at tho taunting Phlladelphlans;
"It took a. Massachusetts man to beat
us at that"
He meant Pat Moran, who comes from
that State."
They were a merry crowd, these rooters,
as they disembarked at Broad Street Sta
tion, and it was with dignified military
mien that they set foot In the City of
Brotherly Love under the guidance of
Mayor Curley,
They have biased a trail of success for
tno Boston players every time the latter
competed In the baseball Olympic, and
the aggressive gladiators have on each
occasion worn the laurel weatn on their
classlo brows.

Joo Wood, of Boston, moy or mny not do the Rubo Waddell act
of 1005. Grover Cleveland Alexander may or may not repent
Mathewaon's 1905 feat.
WILL JOE WOOD BE THE WADDELL
OP 1905 AND "ALEX" THE "MATTY"?
Potential Similarity in World's Series Today and the
Athletics-Giants Clash Decade AgoWhat "Smoky
Joe" May Not and What Alexander May Do
In more ways than one the series which
starts today between tho Phillies and
Boston Red Sox Is similar to the his
toric battle between tho Athletics and
Giants In 190C. which resulted In a victory
for tho New Yorkers In five games, all of
which were shut-outs.
In the condition of the two pitching
staffs the parallel Is strong. In 190S the
Athletics looked like a wonderful bet for
the world's championship title until a
few weeks before the close of the season,
when an accldetn deprived the team of
the services of the greatest southpaw
tho game has ever produced, barring pos
sibly Eddie Plank.
In celebrating the clinching of the pen
nant on tho train returning from Boston,
"Rubo" Waddel and Andy Coakloy were
"cutting up" when Waddell fell and in
jured his shoulder. Medical experts were
called, but apparently there was noth
ing wrong with Waddell's arm, although
the "Rube" Insisted that It pained him.
Upon the return of the team to this
city Waddell worke'd oilt1 at Columbia
Park, then tho 'homo of the Mackmen,
and could get no speed on the ball. As
the time for tho series .approached there
were many' ugly rumors that Waddell did
not want to pitch and that he did not
care much whether tha .Mackmen won or
not
At any rate, the series took place with
out Waddell on the mound In any of the
games and the MackmCn were beaten.
The following spring it was evident that
Waddell had really been badly injured
because he 'was never the samo pitcher
after the accident
In his prlmo Waddell had the most
wonderful overhand fast ball any pitcher
ever had, but In tho spring of 1906 the
famous fast ball had lost Its jump, and
his drop, a marvel, refused to break as
fast
Waddell pitched many unusual games
after that but he was never consistent,
and except on rare occasions did not
have the speed or fast-breaking drop ball
working properly.
In this respect Waddell Is very much
like "Smoky" Joe Wood, the real star
of the Red Box pitching staff.
Until It became certain that Waddell
would not be ablo to pitch In the series
the Athletics were top-heavy favorites
because of the prence of Waddell and
several fine young pitchers, one of whom
waa "Chief" Bendor. When It was
known that Waddell would not pitch, the,
confidence of the Giants Increased and'
the public also switched Its opinion as
to the probable outoome of the aeries.
With the Rex Sox and Joe Wood, It la
much the same. The Red Box pitching
staff Is pointed out as being of wonder
ful power, but In all the calculations Joo
Wood always stands out at the head of
the list Wood Is the veteran, the man
who has been through the milt, the brains
of the pitching staff, and It Is to him
that the rest of the pitchers look for
success.
If Wood Is the Wood of old, he Is likely
to give at least two wonderful exhibitions
of twirling; but if he is not will the effect
on the rest of tne team b the same as
it was with the Athletics In 1905 T
Already In Boston the fans are begin
ning to doubt Wood's ability to como
back In his old time form. He has pitched
many brilliant games this season, but
he has not been consistent, and Just
when Carrlgan began to believe that he
was back In shape tho rheumatlo shoulder
started to bother him again.
Borne of the fans are Inclined to be
lieve that Manager Carrlgan has been
nursing Wood along, but pitchers who
have been aroubled as Wood has declare
that It will take another season before
"flmoky Joe" recovers, Chalmers had
similar trouble with his arm and he was
almost useless for more than two years.
Wood's trouble dates back over a year
ago, and started with a bad cold In the
upper arm. This soreness gradually went
to the shoulder and forced Wood to re
main on tho bench for almost the entire
season t 1914, but this spring he appar
ently recovered entirely, until he sudden
ly went wrong In June. After getting
back Into the game for over two months,
Wood's, arm wetn wrong again, and since
that time It has not really been put to a
test. That Carrlgan fears Wood is not
In shape Is evident from the fact that
he did not use hint on the mound at all
In the crucial series with Detroit, two
weeks age, .
It is no secret that- the Phillies really
fear Wood, and (here Is good ground
for the feeling. It m also true that If It
becomes settled that Wood Is hors de
combat to, the satisfaction of tha Phllly
players early in the series, their co.
dence will Increase 60 per pent '

ewson pitched three games against the
Mackmen- nhd won them all. Not only
did Mathewson win all threo games, but
the Athletics failed to score on him In
the entire Bcrles. The only victory regis
tered, by the Mackmen camo when "Chief"
Bender, a youngster at the time, shut out
tha Giants, 2 to 0, with Joe McGlnnlty,
the "Iron man," on tho mound against
him.
Now tho Phillies have their Matty in
Alexander, while they also have their
"Iron man" In Chalmers. Chalmers has
had but little chance to go to the mound
out of turn, but In tho past has proved
that ho could do It Ho was long ago
nicknamed "Iron man" by his teammates.
Perhaps Chalmers will get that one extra
victory that tho Phillies need, provided,
of course, Alexander does a Mathewson
stunt In that series the victory of Ben
der, the youngster, was a surprise. Ho
was a big skinny lad, like Ernie Shore, of
tho Red Sox, who Is looked upon as a
sensational youngster Just as Bender was
a decade ago.
Would It not bo strange If history re
peated with these men playing the lead
ing rojes? Things seldom go that way;
but stranger things haVe- happened.
In that same series the veteran
Mackmen, known as a powerful plodding
tonm of veterans, succumbed to the youth
ginger nnd fight of tho Giants, together
with the remarkable pitching of Mathew
son. In that series tho Athletics were
known as the more consistent hitting
team, but against such pitching as Matty
served they were helpless, while tho
Giants, who were to be easy for the
grand staff of tho Mackmen, looked like
a different ball team after It becamo cer
tain that Browne, Gilbert, Donlln and
Seymour, their lefthanders, nnd Bresna
han, McGann, Devlin and Dahlen would
not have to face the cannonball speed and
wonderful drop of Waddell.
CROWDS SURGE FROM
STANDS, WILD WITH JOY
Continued from Pago One
commodate 2000 or 3000 persons. When
play started there was not a single spec
tator upon It but employes of Henry
Ford were bulging thrfcugh the windows
of his plant, towering over the clubhouse,
giving bad starts to fans with heart
trouble by the peril of their perches.
Boston's Royal Rooters celebrated their
advent by a lot of music and cheering
and had the noise nil their own way until
the stalwart form of Alexander slipped
from the Phllly dugout and the peerless
pitcher started to warm up.
Rooting at a world's series Is a curious
affair for the close observer who Is suffi
ciently coldblooded not to become exhil
arated and forgetful of all but the noise.
It sometimes starts spontaneously, but as
a general rule one or another small group
of fans take and hold the leadership.
When Alexander came out that section
of, the bleachers In the shadow of the
clubhouse started to mill around. At a
distance the fans looked like a herd of
sheep Jumping a fence.
As by maglo the movement spread un
til the whole park caught the contagion
of it and joined In the lung-straining
shrliks of exultation.
The faithful Fltchburg followers of Pa
Moran took the centre of the spotlight a
S minutes after 2 and gave Pat a loving
cup. It was a solemnly happy occasion
that probably was enjoyed, as they say
In the country, by all. Pat, surrounded
by his warriors, marched io the plate,
where they draped their arms around
each other gracefully.

THREE GOLF MATCHES
IN SHAWNEE TOURNEY
GO TO EXTRA GREEN
Mrs. Florence Krug, Engle-
wood, and F. J. Sheble,
Shawnee, Furnish One of
Thillers in Open Event
PARRISH IS VICTOR
SHAWNEE ON DELAWARE, Pa., Oct.
8. There were some very close matches
In the first round of match play In the
annual fall Invitation golf tournament of
the Shawneo Country Club here today.
Being a handicap ovont, matches that
were square should have been played
over again, but as two rounds each day
have to be played. It was decided that
In the event of playors being even on
the homo hole an extra hole or holes
should bo played without handicap.
Curiously enough three contests ended
upon tho nineteenth hole, two In the first
sixteen and one In the second.
In the first 18 Mrs. Tlorlan Krug, of
Englewood, put up a wonderful fight
against Frank J. Sheble, of Shawnee, who
had to allow her eight strokes. Sheble
was four up at tho Uth hole, and al
though Mrs. Krug won one and halved
three of the next she was still three
down and threo to play. She displayed
wonderful pluck and by winning the next
threo holes and squared the match on the
18th. Sheble, however, got off a good
drive on the 19th and put his second on
the green while Mrs. Krug failed to reach
the green In four and conceded It to her
opponent
The leveling power of the handicap was
Illustrated In the match between E. II.
Worthlngton, of tho home club, and
Joseph M. Byrne, Jr., of Deal. Worth
lngton was compelled to concede his op
ponent nine strokes, and they kept well
together from start to finish. They were
all even at tho 11th, but Byrne, losing a
ball at tho next, became one down.
Worthlngton needed three putts on the
ISth green else he would have won that
He halved the next hole after landing
In tho water on his tee shot but made a
hash of tho long 17th, so that they were
square going to the home hole. Both
were wide on their drives to the 18th,
Byrne slicing and the other pulllnr.
Byrne then beat himself by fussing about
for five more strokes, so that Worthlng
ton was enabled to win by five to six.

In every world's series there Is a little

headiest catcher In tho game, but he lost
the world's series of WOO for the Cubs to
the White Box because he tried to pull a
bit of strategy and was outguessed by a
youngster,
Karly In the aeries George Rohe, the
hero of the series, who was but a sub
stitute until Leo Tannehlll was Injured,
smashed a triple to tho left-field fence
on a high fast ball Inside and won a
gams. It was a well-known fact that
Rohe was weak on a curve ball, but Kilns
tried to cross him, with a disastrous re
sult Finally, in tho last game of the series,
with the bases full, Rohe stepped to
the plate and Kllng decided that It was
time to use a little strategy. After Rohe
had missed two curve balls by a foot,
Kllng started kidding Rohe about his
liking for high, fast balls. "You don't
ft any more of them, kid," said Kllng.
"We have your number now. Nothing
but curve balls for you."
Kllng counted upon leading Rohe Into
thinking that ho would get another
curve and he would then cross him by
signaling for a high, fast ball right
throuah Roho's groove, believing that he
would be caught napping. Rohe was a.f
pretty smart youngster ana mo wiuugm
flashed through his head that Kllng was
figuring on doing this, and he laid for
the high, fast ball. The fans In Chicago
are still raving about this drive, which
shot far down the left-field foul lino for
another triple and clinched the cham
pionship. It was one of the raro Instances when
a youngster outguessed a great veteran
In a pinch. After that gamo Kllng sel

Says Soothsayer's Defeat
Forecast Is Wild
PLAYER SHAVES IN DARK
Big Ernie Shore, of the Boston Red Sox,
got up so early today at the Aldlne Hotel
that he had to shave himself in the dark
and wait two hours before ho was Joined
by the B0 other members of the Carrlgan
Invaders. The team reached this city at
10 o'clock last night and 45 minutes later
all lights' had been extinguished and the
players were snoring peacefully.
Three times as many fans and friends
were gathered at the hotel when the
fleet of taxlcabs brought the Boston play
ers from Broad Street Station. Among
those who extended greeting and the
hope of bad luck in the series werj
Harry Davis and Stuffy Mclnnts, of the
Athletics. Manager Herzog, of the Beds,
also was present
Ham and eggs was the general order for
breakfast when the Bed Sox lined up to
eat this morning. Every man had been
cautioned, not once but many times, by
Bill Carrlgan to protect his stomach. Lest
there be any mistake, each was given to
understand that this meant eating only
the plainest food, Carrlgan was taking
no cnances.
Most of the players are accompanied
by their wives. The latter are even moro
confident than the ball tossera that the
team representing the Hub of tho Uni
verse will be victorious. They didn't
hesitate to say so to each other at every
opportunity, but with strangers they
were cautious in their talk.
The players were Informed today that
Quatave Meyer, "the Hoboken sooth
sayer," who generally confines his pre
dictions to presidential campaigns, had
bad news for them. Gustave wrote a
letter to some one at the hotel saying
the Phillies will win the flrs( game,
Boston tho second and then the Phillies
will "clean up" three straight.
Tho players were greeted again today
by Theodore Engelhardt of Quakertown,
Pa, He lived In Boston 33 years ago and
still bears atleglanco to that town. En
gelhardt carted a big package of beans,
grown by himself, into the hotel and
turned them over to Manager Carrlgan.
"If Boston wlnB the series," he said,
"you should take these beans and cook
them and serve equal portions to your
players. There la plenty for all. I grew
them myself. Just like Boston's beans."
Carrlgan solemnly-promised tn rnnb w
beans and serve them to his players if
moy win me series, ana engelhardt went
away beaming, The Box will not practice
today, whether or not the game Is post
poned, according to Manager Carrlgan.
Most of the players will remain In the
hotel, going out only for enough exercise
to limber them up,
The players had plenty of fun about
the hotel corridors with hard.feaUred
speculators. Some of the scalpers failed
to recognize the players, and tried to
sell tickets to them. Each time a player
was approached he would promise to pro
cure a customer, and within a few min
utes the scalper would be surrounded by
half the team and forced to beat a re
treat to an accompaniment of jeers and
laughter. Naturally this ended the scalp
