sen more man nil opponents' ban hits.
Tho lied Box staff Is recognized as the
greatest In either league, and can be Judged
only on past performances, which should
be sufficient to convince, one that Brooklyn
will face tne best pitching It has seen
throughout the season. The Dodgers have
a habit, however, of getting one big In
ning, and they do not seem to show any
favorites, as was evident by tho two drub,
blngs they handed Alexander tho Great this
year.
If the Boston staff can repeat the 181B
world's series showing, Carrlgan's team will
havo llttlo to fear. It must be remembered,
however, thnt George Foster, who defeated
tho Phillies twlco, has not been going very
good this season, and It Is possible that ho
will not be called uporfc-
In pcktng a running mate for "Dutch"
Leonard and Ernie, Manager Carrtgan Is
said to havo decided upon "Babe" Ituth,
but wo doubt lr ho will take a chance on tho
giant southpaw. Ituth Is too clumsy
handling bunts, has not a good head, and
la Inclined to blow In the pinches.
Carrlgan has one pitcher on his staff
who should be able to throw his glove Into
the box and beat the Dodgers, but he prob
ably will not be called upon. The pitcher
wo refer to Is Carl Mays. The Dodgers do
not like side-arm pitchers, and Mays, with
his freak underhand delivery and "bean
ball," would raako a mark of Iloblnson's
sluggers, particularly Daubert and Wheat,
who are certain to trouble Shore and Fos
ter, If the latter Is called upon.
The Boston manager Is one of tho
shrewdest Judges of pitching and pitching
possibilities, and ho probably will be quick
to realize this after ono or two games, and
wo look for Mays to play a moat Important
part In the series.
If pitching and catching plays tho Im
portant part It has In the past, tho Itcd Sox
have an edge that can bo counter-balanced
only by wonderful defensive play on tho
part of tho Dodgers or a complete break
down of the famous Ited Sox defense.

CRITICS INSIST UPON
M'GRAW INVESTIGATION
President Tener and Other Of
ficials Owe It to Fans and
Scribes
Despite he announcement of the National
Commission that they will not investigate
tho gamo between the Giants and Dodgers
In Brooklyn last Tuesday which virtually
clinched tho pennant for the. Brooklyn club,
tho newspapers, and the baseball public will
not be content to let the matter drop. Mc
Graw and the New York club hae started
something that must be seen through to
the finish, and until this Is thrashed out to
the end baseball will carry a black cyo
that will not wear away for some time.
This Is the first time that a manager of
a big league team ever made a statement
which questioned the honesty of the game,
and whether McOraw made this remark in
all sincerity or out of malice remain b to
bo explained. Until this mystery la solved
and the heads of the National League do
their duty, baseball Is certain to fall Into
disfavor.
The Brooklyn Standard Union In an
editorial bearing the headline, "Prestdcnt
Tener should act promptly in the McOraw
case," says:
"McGraw should be suspended by tho
president of the league, and unless he Is
able to provo his assertion never again
should bo allowed to don a National
League uniform or officlato In any relation
to professional baseball.
"Already his friends he, himself, re
fuses to speak are trimming.
It Is Intimated he did not say In so many
words his men "threw" the game, but that
they refused to obey his orders and played
listlessly.
"Tho first statement possibly may bo true.
"The second has not a shadow of
foundation in fact
Joe Vila, In Wednesday's New York Eve
ning Sun ,says:
"Thero Isn't a doubt that friendship for
Unblo Wllbert Boblnson, once tho Giants'
coach, made Borne of the New York players
Indifferent. Bobble is ono of tho most pop
ular baseball men In the profession. Among
the members of his team are Merkle, Mar
quard and Meyers, former plants. Low
McCarty, McQ raw's star catcher, was a
Brooklyn player up to a month ago, when
Hobble traded him for Merkle. As' the aiants
had nothing to gain after they were beaten
by the Braves on Saturday, It la probable
that they went Into the (series with the
Brooklyns feeling that It would be sheer
cruelty to beat Bobble and his players out
of the world's series money;
But the. scandalous work of some of tho
Giants yesterday became so raw that It
will not be surprising if the world's series
In 1917 is played under new rules, which
will make the players' rakeoff much smaller
than It is now. The annual scramble for
world's series gold has caused much 111
feeling, rowdy conduct, and last, but not
least, flagrant indifference."
Tho New York evening mall, In yester
day's Issue, says: t
"Baseball Is bigger than the Dodgers. It
is rightly termed the national game. It Is
founded on honesty, and can only remain
the national pastime so long as Its Integrity
Is unlmpeached.
"President Tener owes It to himself, to his
league, to the Dodgers, to John J. McOraw,
to baseball Itself, to the millions of f-ns
throughout the country, to Investigate yes
terday's affair. McQ raw's action In leaving
the field after the fifth inning In itself war
rants this.
"John J. McOraw deserves the thanks of
every one interested In baseball, Even if It
should disrupt the whole structure of the
game, It was the only thing for htm to do."
All of the noston ned Sox have batted
very evenly when runs were In sight this
year, no member of the Carrlgan combina
tion having performed wonderfully with
the willow In driving In counters and no
member having performed feebly. All, even
the pitchers, have hit consistently in the
ptnehes, records showing that the outfield
ers havo averaged the batting In of forty
nlno counters, the inflelders of forty-eight,
the catchers of forty-nine and the pitchers
or thirty-eight
In evenness ot hitting ability In the
pinches, ths Carrlgans of 11S ars very
much llko the Chancemen of U08. Teerless
Leader Frank Leroy Chance, when he led
the Cubs to their thtrd successive flag In
a race that Is an exact replica of the pres
ent pursuit, had no grand clean-up walloper,
but he possessed a set of men any one of
whom was likely to break up a battle.
Duffy Lewis Leads
The ned Sox, this year, have batted
In 428 counters, which would mean an
average of a trifle oyer forty seven for each
occupant or the nine positions, two piay
ere Duffy Lewis and Larry Oardner have
figures better than the overage, the Call
fornlan having batted In flfty-slx runs and
the Vcrmonter fifty-five. Tho Green Moun
tain boy has It on the Alameda Kid In the
respect that ho only sent In fivo runs on
sacrifice files and Infield outs, while the
slugger from the Slope has sent In fourteen
In these two ways.
Clarence Walkor Is Carrlgan's third
timeliest hitter, with a record of forty-two
runs batted In, none on sacrtllco files and
only four on Infield outs.
Hoblitzell Fourth
Dick Hoblitzell ranks fourth, having hit
In thlrty-nlno markers. Tho former Bed
has scored nlno of his mates on Infield outs.
leading his team In this respect Ho has
been repeatedly called on to squeeze a man
home, and frequently has succeeded In
doing so.
Harry Hooper Ms above the quarter-century
notch In driving In runs, and so Is
Everett Scott the outfielder having thlrty
ono to his credit and the Intleldcr twenty
nine. Most of the BlufCton boy's timely
hitting this year was done In the series
with the Athletics. In the games with tho
Mackmen Scott drove In a dozen tallies.

Taking the games won In the ninth and
in extra Innings and by ono run this year,
ono finds that twelve of Carrlgan's men
havo knocked In the deciding counters In
these controversies, Larry Gardner having
been a hero five times. Duffy Lewis has
been the man of the minute on three oc
casions, and so have Jack Barry, Everett

Hy SANDY McNIBLICK
BOSTON. Mass., Oct 5 Mrs. W. A.
Gavin, the English favorite for the women's
golf championship of tho United States, at
the Belmont Springs Country Club, was
beaten today by a llttlo-known golfer, Mrs.
Charles C Auchlnloss, Piping Rock, 2 and 1,
Mrs. Gavin won the first two holes, but
after that she dropped three straight and
never had a chance, being headed all the
way, Mrs. Auchlnloss became dormlo nt
the seventeenth teo, and won the match
when Mrs. Gavin could do no better than a
half.
Miss Mildred Cavcrly, Philadelphia,
champion, entered ths semifinal bracket by
reason of her thrilling victory over Mrs.
Caleb F. Fox, Huntingdon Valley, 3 and 1.
Miss Alexa Stirling, champion of the
South, won her match on the seventeenth
from Miss Elaine W. Rosenthal, former
national runner-up and western champion,
by the margin ot 2 and 1.
A surprise was sprung In another qusrter
of the matches when Mrs. Thomas Huck
nail, the Soho, N. J., dark horse, ousted
Miss Laurie Kaiser, Flossmoor, the cham
pion ot Missouri, In a hard fought match
on the home hole, 1 up, after a daxzllng
exhibition of golf. Never In Its history
has the women's national championship
been so sensational as today.
Miss Caverly will meet Mrs. ltucknn.ll
tomorrow In tho semifinals of tho upper
bracket and Miss Stirling and Mrs. Au
chlnloss will fight It out In tho lowor. Tho
two winners will meet In tho finals Sat
urday. Mrs. Fox made the gamest finish of her
life today against Miss Caverly. She 'was
five down at the turn and did not look to
have a chance to win out.
But she proceeded to take the tenth,
halve two, win the thirteenth and four
teenth, and wbb only two down. She lost
the fifteenth, but sank a two on the six
teenth, and Miss Caverly was dormle. Mrs.
Fox mado the mistake of playing safe be
cause she thought M ss Caverly would
crack. It cost her a six on the seventeenth,
and she was beaten.
Miss Caverly started right after her
match with Mrs. Fox and played two per
fect shots to first green. She was down
In two putts and Mrs. Fox could not do
better than a six The latter, an ex
perienced and steady match player, admitted
that she was scared. She managed to halvo
the second by sinking a great putt after
being ln the second trap. Miss Caverly
Just missed a putt for the hole when Hho
was on the side of the groovo with her
drive. On the thtrd Miss Cavcrly had a
beautiful Iron shot to tho green, and Mrs.
Fox took three putts, losing the hole. Tho
fourth was really the start of Miss Caverly 's
triumph.
V? SOME ONE so aptly said a day or two
J. ago. "Every cloud has a silver lining."
"Yes. some wit retorted Immediately,
"and It's an 111 wind that blown nobody
good"
The tautness of this 1916 National Lengue
race, while leaving the situation a bit com
plex and harassing a number of folks, also
has had ono lining of solid gold.
And for this reason.
The Reason Rclng
For the last eleven seasons, dating from
1905 on. It has been our melancholy duty
to tnke the two winning clubs and compare)
them, player for player. Having completed
this Jaundiced task. It has been our even
more painful duty to read the comparison
of some twelve or fifteen others In order
to observo the general drift of things.
This, for eleven years, virtually has
spoiled the last two weeks In September
for us each yenr. And the last two weeks
In September are generally too keen and
bracing and sun-Uttered to bo spoiled.
Yet this man-for-man comparison waa one
of thoso Jobs that had to bo done, requiring
about two weeks to cover all th waiting
ground.
This season we have been freed from
this depressing task for tho simple reason
that, with only two days left to play, it
finally had not been decided beyond the so
called peradventure of a cinch whether
Brooklyn or Philadelphia waa to pick up
tho task that Pittsburgh began In 1903
and thnt New York and Philadelphia
foozled ln 1912, 1914 and 1915 the task
being nothing more nor less than to beat
a Boston club In a world series champion
ship. No Difference
Wo might havo gotten nround tho Job
bv comoarlng the lied Sox with both Robins
and Phillies, since the two latter clubs
havo shown themselves to bo closely akin
to the 50-50 arlcty.
Brooklyn has led Philadelphia moat of
the year, but to oven up this count Phila
delphia turned In through September and
beat Brooklyn In seven of tho last eight
games.
This In Itself would have been sutnictent
unto the dope. For we have, first, last
fall's count, where the Red Sox beat tho
Phillies four out of five. Then we havo
this September's count, whoro tho Phillies
beat tho Robins seven out of eight. These
scores, of course, would mean nothing at
Br GKANTLAND RICE
all tn n. new series, But being the only
things available they could have bom ud
easily enough In an emergency, tf an
emergency had arrived. Meaning, of course,
that strictly upon the merits ot the dope
the Red Sox had something on both eon
tenders.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia
Could Brooklyn make a better stand
against the lied Sox than the rhllllesT We
are a trifle Inclined to think they could.
They have no Alexander, but outside of
Alexander they have a better staff. Coombs
and Rube Martiuard have been over tho
world's scries hurdles before. They both
have faced tho big October firs. Coombs
has been In three world's series, and bo has
Rube Marquard. And both have shown
fine stuff In their last few starts.
When the Phillies rushed In Big Ales
they were through, Tho Brooklyn staff,
with Marquard, Coombs and Smith, Pfcffer
or Cheney, would havo a tar better balance.
Another Fcaturo
Last fall the Phillies had two sluggers
Cravnth and Luderua. No one else was ex
pected to hit Red Sox pitching. Neither
did Cravath and Luderua.
But Brooklyn haa a better long-distance
range. Wheat Is a .300 batter and at times
a slugger of robust qualities.
Daubert Is a .100 batter and one who also
Is Inclined here and there to hl( for extra
bases.
Stengel has outbursts ot slugging, and
one ot the most dangerous men ln a pinch
Is Gcorgo Cutshaw.
Wheat, Daubert. Stengel, Cutshaw and
Miller, not forgetting Chief Meyers, would
be moro likely to slash In a run or two
than Cravath, Luderus, Whlttod and
Paskcrt.
TICKET SPECULATOR ATtRESTED
BOSTON, Oct. t. Tho first arrest for

Amazingly Comfortable
They like its power if s the world's
most powerful low priced car.
Everybody concedes its beauty.
It wins on economy.
But its roomy seats, deep upholstery
. and easy riding cantilever springs
These things make it so amazingly
comfortable that people can hardly
believe their senses.
You wouldn't think that a small, light,
economical, low priced car could be
so comfortable.
But come in and let us prove it to you.
