At bat the nod Sox have, been llatlesa tor
a week, batting lightly against both
Washington and New York pitchers.
They were Undoubtedly trying their beat.
'ct they were not pitching nor batting
up to past form. They haven't been play
ing a good ball for 10 da)s as tho
riillllea have, and I don't believe they
will play as good ball through tho
series."
As a Series Team
These opinions among the Insiders are
piled high In massive layers. Here Is
still another from one of tho game's
veteran entries:
"Tho Red Sox should win because thay
happen to bo tho greatest series club In
baseball. I mean by that that no other
club haa played as effectively In All tho
big series of the year series that wore
vitally Important. There have been many
occasions when Carrlgan's peoplo linvo
played careless, listless ball. Dut moat ot
this waa put through against second di
vision clubs. The Yanks have had tho
leaders Jumping sideways all the year.
Dut when the Kcd Sox met tho Tigers anJ
White Sox there was a different yarn to
spin. Onco keyed up, the Iloston winners
played at top speed with sufficient bat
ting and pitching power to beat back ull
opposition. In many ways tho Red Box
have been a queer club. They have hit
good pitching hard, wherens they havo
done most of their light batting against
only average alabmen men they should
have beaten oaslly."
The Case of Wellman
"Alexander Is a grand pitcher," re
marked an American Lenguo supporter
yesterday. "Hut so Is Wellmnn, of the
Browns. Wellman beat the Tigers eight
times this season. Could Alexander have
done more? Ho nlso held the Red Sox to
one run In thrco games one run to each
game, rather. Rut ho lost all three be
cause Foster happened to beat him 1-0 at
every start. So It must be remembered
that to win Alexander must be at nil
best. Ho may hold tho Red 8ox to one
run or two runB and still lose."
Is Boston Due?
"Do you know why I am picking the
Phllllea?" remarked another Insider It
there be any such thing as an Insldel
where the revolving dope la concerned.
"I'll tip you oft. Boston has never lost a
world scries. She won with the Rod Sox
In 1003 against Pittsburgh: with the Red
Sox In 1913 against tho Qlants. and with
the Braves In 1911 against the Athletics.
This makes three wins out of three starts
So now she la due JUBt as tho Mackmen
were due and nil others In sport who
hang nround for a sufficient period. Also
this is the year of many upsets those
who have been winning In the past hnve
had a tough time of H. The psychology
Is all against Boston and don't forget
thut the psychology ot thu occasion Is a
big part of tho business."
Having digested these various opinions,
all offered by those who are supposed to
know what they are debating about, you
can either moke your own guess or re
strain your Impatience until the last man
Is retired some time next week. The lat
ter Is suggested as the safest system.
'ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME
BAND PHILS DUBBED
Bostonese Refer Moran's Men
to Barber Shop Chord.
Fear Grover Cleveland
Way down deep Boston Is not so sura
that tho Hod Sox will trample the Phil
lies In the world's series. In the barber
shops, tn tho cafes nnd grills, on tho
curbstones and tn public places up In
neantowu, one name stares oiit Ilka a
blaok spectre. That name Is Alexandur.
Boston rolls the name respoctfully If not
fearfully under the tongue.
Intellectual Boston Is doing some "deep
sea thinking" today on the most Im
portant series old Itoston town has ever
faced. After the Uruves caiuo tiom be
hind last year In a record climb and
therrcrushed tho Athletics In the October
tournament, the Hub was obsessed with
the Idea that the Braves would win In
a walk In law, They were wrong.
Now, with the Rd Sox splinted Into
the limelight again, Bostqn figures the
team which beat the Braves will be a
hard team for anybody to lick,
Boston Is philosophical, Incisive, Inter
rogatory. 8he want? tQ know the whys
and wherefores of everything. So when
the Phillies Put In the clinches all Bos
ton held a clinic over the Phillies to de
termine just how It was and why the
Phllllea won. The answer Is unanimous
here, Alexander!
Tho Phillies are referred to in Boston
as, ''Alexander's llagtlme Band." Nearly
every paper In town has taken up the
slogan. The newsboys on the streets are
singing:
"O come end hear; Come and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Bapd."
Yon can get the sentlmont ln the town
by putting your ere "down to the rails"
In public places. Let It be said the Bos
tonese have abiding confidence in the Red
Box, They believe eventually that the
fates will re to t that ni Carrlgan'
crew carries off the palm hut way dpwn
deep theee Bostonese have a suspicion
that one Alexander li going to be a trou
bleaom tumbling block.

WHO WILL BE "BONE"
OF PRESENT CLASSIC?
Memorial Miscue Is Dedicated
in Almost Every World's
Series Played
Who will bo tho "bono" of the series?
In nltnost every world's series played
there has been some piny that cnused
the scribes and fans throughout the
country to talk for weeks about n play
er's stupidity that cost his team a chance
for vlctoiy As usual, the unfortunate
Merkl played tho leading role ln two
of tho grcatczt buncs" made In the base
ball classic.
Mcrklo's worst "bull" camo In tho final
gamo ot tho scries between tho Qlants
and ned Sox In 1512, and was really re
sponsible for losing tho series, although
Snodgrass' historic muff started all tho
trouble. With tho scoro tied In tho loth
Knglc, batting for Wood, raised an easy
fly to centra which Snndgrass muffed.
Hooper then lalscd a fly which Snod
Krass caught, but Mathewiion passed
Verkrs. This placed runners on first
and socund with ono man out. Tho Ql
ants had scored ln the II rat half of the
10th Inning nnd it looked like a sure vic
tory when Speaker raised a high foul
between the plate and first base, but
much nearer to tho latter station.
It was a ball that Mcrkle should have
been waiting for, but he never moved
from his position. The Bed Sox on tho
bench were shouting for Myers to take
the ball and Merklo was completely
fooled. While the fans looked on In
amazement, Mcrkle stood still and watch
ed Myers try for a ball that fell within
IB feet of first base.
This "bone," tn not keeping his mtnd
on tho gamo and taking tho ball, caused
Mathcwson to loso heart, nnd Speaker
hit the next ball, pitched to right for a
single, scoring Kngle with the trying run
Verkci took third nnd Hpiaker second
on the throw-in Lewis was purposoly
passed, filling the bases, and Gardner
then won the gamo and series by sending
a long sacrifice lly to Devore, whicn
scared Yerkcs.
Had It not been for thnt "bone," every
New York player would havo collected
tlCrOC more.

ARE ORDERED FOR
WORLD'S SERIES
Sandwiches of Various Brews
Will Be Offered to Patrons
Today at the National
. League Park
PRICES ARE UNALTERED
Those of you fans who havo that cov
eted piece of pasteboard that will admit
you to the first game this afternoon need
have no fenr of having something to till
you up on tho Inside after Aleck has
held the Red Sox scoreless Inning after
inning and the Phils have amassed a
couplo of tallies. For John Peterson, pur
veyor extraordinary to his Majesty, the
fan, has made arrangements to feed those
of thu 21,000 rooters present who want to
be fed.
There will be sandwiches of the ham
and cheese variety, and fresh, too,
enough peanuts to teed every elephant In
captivity; ice cream that will cool down
tho overexcited fans; lemonade sum-
clent to float a rowboat and unlimited
quantities of other "vlttlea" that all go
to mako up a real live ball game.
What la more, Important from the view
point of the fan, thero will be no In
crease in prices, a Jit will buy any
thing from a cushion to a pack of cigar
ettes once you have surrendered your
ticket for admittance. "Will tt pay?
Sure!" said Peterson. "It's not the rulo
to keep the prices for the cats the sumo
during the world's series at the sama
schedule as they aro during the regular
season, but we will sell five tlmos as
much as we would If we raised the prices
like they did at Shlbo Park."
Hero Is the list of things that tho
fans aro going to make an awful dent ln
and then "holler for more:"
Ten thousand sandwiches (which If
placed end on end, would reach for morn
than a mile).
Two thousand bags of peanuts.
Hlght thousand bottles of root beer
(very convenient, In case tho umpires
aro struck blind temporarily during the
progress of the game).
Eighteen boxes of lemons which will
produce, according to Peterson, 12 barrels
of lemonade).
Unlimited quantities ot cigars, cigar
ettes, chewing gum.
Six hundred quarts of Ice cream.
Whltey." Charley, "Jo" (the boy with
tho cpullllower cnr who Is n pugilist
when not engaged In selling lea cicam
cones), and other men to the number of
70 will bo on hand hours before the game
to arrange the eats In proper woiklnif
order tnd rale tho new men to an effi
cient point
Then, as Aleck shoots the first ball
over for a strike on Harry Hooper, a
familiar voire will deafen you and there
will be 'one of tho boys" shouting "root
bner." "Sure, give us two, Jo," and
then, "Here's to the Phillies." "Here'ii
to the world's champs."

There is no doubt but that Icgore Is
a wonderful player. His running with
the ball, passing nnd punting cannot pos
sibly be Improved upon, but defensively
he Is weak. Ho offers no protection to
his teammates when some one else has
tho ball, and It Is said that on occasions
he has failed to think quickly enough
nt critical moments. He must master
tho art of taking out his man and mak
ing Interference before he enn hope to
regain his place on the varsity back
field. It la said that In the Harvard game
last year Legore gave up the chase of
Coolldge after SO yards, whereas Alns-
worth, who had fallen down, scrambled
to his feet nnd kept up the pursuit to
tho goal line. This was called Inex
cusable by the conches, as was the full
back's failure to fall on tho ball behind
the Yale goal line when Franke fumbled.
In this caso Legore is snld to hnve stood
still and allowed a Harvard man to fall
on the ball for a touchdown, when he
could havo converted It Into a touchback.
Legore knew his fallings, and Is said
to bo In hearty nccord with tho plans of
the conches to condition him mentally by
keeping him on the scrubs. There Is no

Be Exploited in Mental
Football Comment
demned for their action In keeping thla
brilliant back on tho aide lines, for they
know the value ot Legore to the team
and merely wish to Incrense his efficiency.
When all Is Md and done, Legore Is a
one-aided player, playing a brlllant gam
on the. offense, but nearly worthless on
the defense. At least this Is the opinion
In New H.ven.
In direct contrast to this come a
statement from Qua Zeigler, who coached
Legore at Mercersburg. Legore Is one
of the best backs I have ever seen," saya
Qua, "and thtre must be something wrong
nt Yale If ho Is kept on the side lines.
"Harry Is a wonderful runner In the
open field, can buck the lino and Is the
most accurate passer In colleg ranks to
day Ills punting also Is good, and I can
not see why he la not In tbe line-up. I
have heard that be la being put through
a course of 'mental training, nnd while
that would be good for several other foot
ball men now playing at the game, I
cannot tee why Legore should be
picked out as an example and exploited
ln tho newspapers.
"Legoro when ho played on Mercers-"
burg waa a heady player, a good Inter
fcrcr, a deadly tackier and a good blocker
He was using his head all of the time, and
the team profited by his work.
"I remember one Instance in our bK
gnme with Lawrenccville ln 1910 when
Harry thought out a play on the field and
got away with Jt for a, touchdown. Law
renccville waa playing a close game, the
baeka on defense standing within a few
feet of the line. Legore saw this, and
called his team-mates together He tola
them to try a long forward pass down the
sideline on the next play. Remember,
there was no signal for this play; It was
thought out on the spur of the moment,
yet Legore got away with It. An end
ran 30 yards down the field and narry
passed the ball on a line to him. A touch
down resulted.
"If that is poor headwork. I would Ilka
to witness a real tonehead' play some"
time. Legore la good, and something
must be wrong with the Yale coaching
system if he has Tailed to come up to the
mark. I cannot see how a man can to
I back so far In such a short time."
