With tho aid of splendid iupoort from his brother Macks, Scibold not only blanked tho Btowns, allowing nly four hits, but banged out a trlplo that scored two of hla pals. By winning jc3torday. tho Macluncn set their mark nt fortj-four IctorIes, thereby surpassing tho winning mark of 1915. which was fortythreo IctorIos.

Who Will Be World's Series Hero This Year? EVERY world's scries has some outstanding hero. Somo player always looms , up as an object for tho lion's sharo of famo that is dispensed by tho flcklo goddess of fortune each fall, and In past years outfielders, lnflelders and batter -Bien havo taken their turni In grabbing tho honors. But, regardless of who will bo crowned tho hero of tho scries of 1917 Whether ho will bo an inflelder, an outfielder or a batteryman It is very probable that somo left-handed pitcher will stand out In bold lellcf, for the lefthanders are -cwtaln to play a big part. With tho Giants acknowledged as a cut-and-drlcd Na tional League entry In the big series, Rube Benton, Fcrdlo Schtipp and Slim ifealleo aro bound to figure In the Giant offensive. At least two of the thrco may be counted upon as nominees for work on tho mound. . , If the White Sox- represent tho Airierlcan League, Rob Russell, Cy Williams nd Danforth, Pants Rowland's forkhanders, will, no doubt, bo drawn upon for t, service on tho firing line. In case tho Red Sox should cop tho flag, Jack Barry a Will count heavily on Babo Ruth, Hubert Leonaid nnd Carl Majs. Of this trio iT Mays' Is right handed and a consistent winner, but Ruth and Leonard, both .brilliant southpaws, would bo the logical pitchers to uso against tho Giants, for 'McGraw's club Is none too btrong ngalnst left-handed pitching when It Is good, and Ruth and Leonard both are good. For tho samo reason Clarence Rowland -nay be expected to try out at least two of his southpaws against tho Giants, if his team makes tho grade. Eddie Clcotto, tho ironman of tho Whlto Sox, will 'bave his work cut out for him If the Chlcagos aro elected, but Eddie can't pitch very day. f ' Saying that McGraw will depend largely on his southpaws is almost Ilka flaying he must depend on his pitching staff, for tho threo Giant forkhanders have -been the mainstay of New York's pitching all season, and It is logical that Mc- j'uraw win uepenu on wicm 10 lunusu mo uuik ui uic piicning in 1110 oiue rioDOn . .tournament. $ : yu ix iooks as inougii somo souin-unncu nuricr uas a Dngiu cuance lo be a hero this year. Matty Was Chased by Cincinnati Seventeen Years Ago 4$ CIEVENTEEN years ago, when Christy Mathowson camo to tho Giants for the w?S second time, ho camo as a cast-off of tho Cincinnati Reds In a trado that sent iVif Amos Rusle away from the Polo Grounds. And Matty, tho Cincinnati cast-off, I trourneo, aiier an inese years 10 mi mo iteas out. oi ODScumy ana mio tno spot- Bgnt. it is a strange turn or rate, perhaps nnu it doesn't seem fair In n way to f recall that Mathewson was once cast adrift by Danny Bancroft, but because of ftlho wonderful career Mathowson has had in baseball, a mention of the fact cannot cast tho faintest shadow on his record In the national pastime, and It Is 1 certainly a unlquo feature. After nearly thirty jcars of struggling to find a leader who could pilot the j-r, t,Vlnc,nnaii ciuo uacn 10 mo position oi pre-eminence n onco neiu, it remained lor ,JIatty to fill the bill. Ned Hanlon, Clark Grlfflth, John Ganzcl, Joe Kcllcy, Hank "O'Day, Joe Tinker and Buck Herzog all tried their hands on tho reins as manager fe i tno Jtcaviiie Dana, only to ran. yV Matty Is the most notablo of a young army of stars who were sent from i compajaijvo obscurity to renown by the Cincinnati club. But ho Is the onlv ono .',to return a. hero, and his name Is now a household word In the city across tho rjthlne When Mathewson faced the downward trail as a big league pitcher he Viima called the "Old Master." He was a master of pitching; a marvel. And he jWill go down in the annals of bascbaf as one of the greatest, If not the greatest ,H$cber t ftH time Radbourne, Rusle, Cy Youne and others notwithstanding. u ... ST"!

The Essential Ingredient "Matty has his Keds hustling" AVo have seen this lln moro than onco hero lately and It Is tho answer to managerial sueceF It Is tho answer to why Matty has lifted a club from last placo In 1010 to tho tin" division In 1U17. You hear cjulto n tilflo about strategy tactics and tho like. These things count. Hut the essential Ingredient for managerial success is ability to keep a ball club bus tllng. Kor this requires not "bnly tho liking, but tho respect of tho players. It means the arousing of ambition and tho development of team morale Which Is S3 per cent of managerial Jltness. And Matty has pretty well proved that ho has tho Ingredient re quired. Any number of changes occur from year to year In all-American selections, but Cobb, Speaker, Collins and Alexander stay fixed! Tho four havo remained Immovable for tho last six years. And It's tho long trail that counts.

I.nst year tho dinner tournament of tho Golf Association was held at the Hunting don Valley Country nnd tlio Phllmont Coun try Clubs There were about 300 players on both courses, hiuI what somo of them did to tho fairways was a caution. As a mem ber of tho Huntingdon Valley green com mittee said afterward: "Our fairways looked as If It had been tho annual handicap of tho gravedlggcrs' association. That crowd did moro damage to our turf than our mem bers did In a year. It will bo a long tlmo beforo there Is another dinner inatth placd here " Ono of tho Interesting ethlblts In tho lockcrhouse of tho Whltemarsh Valley Country Club Is a photograph of what fcomo of tho club gravcdlggers did to tho courfc. It Is Just a bit of fairway, but tho holes mado by tho players and tho cut turf aro plainly visible Xow.ida.vs most players tal.o tho turf In mahlng Iron shots. Tho real plajcr takes tho turf Just after ho hits tho ball. Tho avcrago player takes It both befoio and afterward. 9 Take Divots, but Replace Them There Is not a club In tho country that objects to turf taking, but when the players forget to replace thn divots tlio clubs stand on their hind legs nnd howl, and no ono blames them. No ono likes to play out of a cuppy lie. The shot Is not tho easiest In tho world to play. Tho real punish ment would be to glvo tho gravedlggers cuppy lies nil tho time, but usually tho ones who sutler nro those who tako tho time and troublo lo put tho cut turf back. Wlnthrop Saigcnt has been 'tho very ef ficient chairman of tho green committee of the Merlon Cricket Club for a number of yeais, nnd no other chairman Is moio painstaking or devotes moro tlmo to his work than Mr. .Sargent. Merlon Is always in tho very best posslhlo condition. Dut a lot of tho members weie careless and when they opened a new golf ball they would toss tlio paper away, throw empty ciga rette boxes in tho fairway and In putting would drop lighted cigarettes on the greens and In many cases would let them He there, greatly to the Injury of the gieens. So Mr. Sargent got up a peppery notice and reminded the golfers that tho club was spending thousands of dollars on tho course, and this matter of using the course as It wabtebasket for everything under the sun put tno club to nn unnecessary expem nnd doubled tho work of the laborers. Now tho club has a wastebasket attached to every tee box and things aro much better. Things got so bad ut Bala along; tho sam lines that the club was obliged to post a notice on every locker requesting tho mem bers not to throw things away on tin course. Golf as Appeals to One Woman Ono of the recent publications ot , widely known sporting goods house Is a book for girls nnd the various sports suit able for tho fair sex are described. Th young woman who wroto it knows her hockey and other sports, but, unfortunately, her knowlcdgo of golf Is very elementary, and a great deal of It Is misinformation. In the first place, she has her terms mixed. Tho teeing ground Is called a driving green. Tho fairway Is named tho fair green, which, however, Is not so bad. But hero is somo of tho advice to tho uninitiated: "Usually tho bpace In front of the tee Is for fifty to Eovcnty yards rough ground." Hough really extends nnywhero from 100 to ICO ards. "Often the lie on the fair green Is not favorable to a brabsle stroke, In which-caso nn Iron club with a pitch to the head of tho club with which to loft tho ball 1-s used. This may be the mldlrcn, the deck, the mashlo niblick or themashle." Imagine using a mashlo niblick when you cannot uso u brasslo unless the ball ts badly cupped! But tho most Interesting part Is tho de scription of putting, which follows without comment: "Draw an Imaginary line from the ball to the holn; bland behind tho lino with heels together; feet at right angles to each other, the left foot pointing toward tho hole; the plajer stands bending slightly from tho hips, with arms stretched down full length : the right elbow points to the right thigh, tho left points toward the hole; tho club swings as a pendulum ; the sole of the club addresses tho ball at right angles to tho Imaginary line. Tho player's ejo should bo right abovo the ball." If you think this Is easy, tako it homo and play It ou tho piano. Now the young woman who wrote these things had an awful Job, for In the 150-odd pages sho describes about twenty games, and that Is somo task even for a. woman to do Intelligently and Intelligibly. I think somo jocular golfer must havo told her a few things about golf. Sho happens to be a very lino hockey player and sho Is thor oughly conversant' both with tho play and tho lulcr, but Mio has a lot to tcarn about golf.
