"been a moral triumph for the disrupted Shlbe Park nccrecatlon.
r th third straight time tho Mackmen were undisputed occupants of the

, ,arated the Athletics from seventh placfc. which Is a great Improvement over last
'fil ear' Whn tHe Mackmen wero separated from seventh place by forty and one
iK fcarnes. A comparison of the 1916 and 1917 records shows tho Athletics to bo
vtat nineteen games better this season than last. The 1916 record was 3G won and
nliT lost this year It was 65 won and 98 lost. Cleveland In seventh place last year
h4 a percentage of five hundred, but this year only four clubs had better than u

.Hm game clinched up to the ninth against the Tigers, but both were lost. This
i?5jl an 'nstance ot the luck that pursued Connlcall season,

-JJ " "BONNIE has a much better hitting club, the team rating third In team
'batting against an eighth-place team last year. Tho club played a much
' higher class of ball, and It is notlccablo that Mack has been very silent of
Tk late, for he has much confidence In his present collection of talent.
i'pA Youngsters Developed Rapidly During Season
"PVStB youngsters he carried all season developed rapidly, and at the close of this
season were nlaylng snappy ball. Much of the timber Connie farmed out but
recalled proflfd by the stay In the minors. Naylor and Parnham were examples
('what action In the so-called bushes did for them. Naylor turned in two vic
tories for the Macks after being rcqalled; one of his triumphs btlng a two-hit win
ger the Senators In his latest debut. Yesterday his woilt against the Yankees
"'fJiljiAbled (he Mackmen to break 'even in the final Herles, holding the New Yorkers to
jiictit scattered hits and one run. Parnham showed well in his workout since he
returned.
Connie Is well supplied with high-class catching talent In Plclnlch, McAvoy and
"''"Perkins, in addition to Bill Meyer and Haley. Palmer and Dates should take good
of third base, with Shannon, Ougan and Witt at short. Anderson and Noyes
improved during tho year, while nimer Myers, having gone through a poor hcabon,
Mould be Improved next year. Myers was a sensation last Reason, and without his
Ifltance Connie most likely would have shattered all records for defeats. Myers
rfjiSQt -away to a bad start, but for a time in tho middle of tho season showed enough
"od form to give Connie a few moments of Joy. But after going good for four
Castes he skidded, and only showed Dashes at the finish. Noyes has a good lecord
r a tall-end club, while Anderson, In his work as a relief hurler, was much of an
' rkBprovement In the waning daysof the season.
"'!i. AT 8econi1 base Grover looks like a fixture. In the outfield Bodle and
' XX. Strunk are sure of their JJobs, but Jamieson will find plenty of
': opposition for the right-field berth. Sharman looked good In his brief trial
' , . wtth the Macks. Connie also has a few more good fl chasers on the way.
Jili Yi Moran Yet Has to Finish Worse Than Second
' ''l!fH?Ii-3 the Phlls ald not ur'nB home the fljig, tliey finished in the runner-up
" PsIt,on to the strong and supposedly unbeatable Giant team. Moran lias
wlteted the Phils through three campaigns and yet has to finish worse than second,
i Jtiptifrlng the flag In 1915 and second place In 1916 and 1917. Tho Itob'ns won
""W'lilS, but few questioned tho superiority of the Phils. Up until the time the
" ,.ranmcn made the second western trip they were real contenders and threat-
" ? ened to make it Interesting for thn Hlnntn At thn rlnao nut nn thit tnnri ..,naA..
r-9-Jaunt' the Phils lost eleven out of thirteen, and from that time until the end trailed
Vlfchi year's champions. The Morans had a chance when they opposed the Giants
Ib the decisive series during the first week of September, but by dropping four
tWt ot six were eliminated.
. Moran was poorly fortified in good utility Inlielders and needed the services of
,e more dependable pitcher, but. It was the fall-down by the guardians of the
rt inner, works that proved costly. When NIehbff was In a slump Moran had no one
"ta send forth and brought on Evers, who Is far from tho Evers" who helped the
Cubs to win pennants and aided the Braves In 1914. J-udcrus also fell down at
ritlcal times, i nd the only way Moran could fortify this was to shift Whittcd
'fJrein the outfield, and In so doing weakened his outfleV'
-.,
; rpHE Phils lost the pennant by a margin of ten games. A study of the
Phils' box scores throughout the season will show that carelessness,
when the Phlls apparently had the game clinched, proved disastrous on
at Jeast fifteen occasions. This margin alone was enough to decide a
pennant race. Alexander did his share, but It takes more than one good
pitcher to win a flag.
The Old Dope Changeth: Get This Yarn From Chicawgo
8TT, CAN'T be helped, but somebody AL.WAYS Is taking the Joy out of life or

MUCH MONEY PLACED ON
RESULT OF RIG SERIES
CHICAGO, Oct. 4. Betting on tho world's
series was picking up here today and by
Saturday vast amounts are expected to be
staked on the games.
One broker declared he had already
placed 15,000 on the White Sox to win the
series. One bet of JKOOO at even money
on the Giants was reported.
Another broker had a similar amount to
put on the Giants and was offering $800
to JlOOd that New York wins the opening
game.
ONE WAGER OF $25,000
ON GIANTS IS RECORDED
?CnW YORK. Oct. t. IJven money Is the
best thnt Is offered on the world's series In

betting Is light, as Chicago backers want

on the outcome of the series has been re
corded Many freak bets are rumored. An ad
mirer of George Burns wagered JM to 50
that the Olants' left fielder readies first

the greatest of the amateur golfers of Great
Britain, had tried the same plan with Miss
Cecil I.cltch nnd was also defeated.
Kbcn M Byers nnd William C Fownes,
Jr are the only Pennsylvanlans who have
over won the amateur golf championship of
this country. Bvers Is also a tennis player,
and he got the Idea Into his head that he
could defeat Miss Molla BJurstedt In a
tennis match So. In cue of the Bed Cross
matches In Now York, he tried It out and
was badly beaten. That he still thought
It was possible was shown by his attempt
the other day. He wagered a large rat sum
that he could beat the Norse vvonan In a
three-set match Ho did win one set, but
the other two went to the woman player
It looks as If the now Blverton course
were going to play havoc with the three
or four other New Jersey links. They are
all In the same neighborhood and none of
them is more than Ave miles from any other
club But Blverton has an up-to-the-minute
elghteen-hole course, while the others have
nine-hole courses, nnd once the players of
the other clubs see the new Blverton course
something Is bound to happen.
The Work of Donald Ross
Donald Boss was Invited out to Blverton
to look over the property after the club
had bought the land on the other sldo of tho
grove of tiees that formerly bounded the
old nine-hole course. The club paid him
somewhere between JB00 and $1000 for his
services, and when ycu look the new course
over It Is worth cveiy cent the club paid
him.
If ou should take a bolt of cloth to two
tailors, one who wouIC charge ou 515 nnd
h Walnut street talior would want S40, there
Is no doubt that tho suit ot the Walnut
street talior would be highly superior to
the other tailor. Golf course architects are
merely tailors You show them a piece of
land, nnd out of the hundred acres they
must construct eighteen holes Which man
will do the better Job, Donald Boss, the
expert of experts, or a cheaper man?
Any one can lay out eighteen holes, but
most of us would make a sorry mess of it.
It would not have been hard to hash up the
Blverton course, and there Is shown the
vlsdom of the Blverton Club In employing
tho master maglclui of the links. As Boss
has reconstructed the old, course the plajers
now play the first two-holes and then pass
through the woods to an opening cut through
the trees to the third tee. This Is the first
of the new holes. It Is a dog leg of the
pronounced type. It Is more actually a
right-angled hole. A IGO-jard shot will
carry the ball Into the fairway. A straight
200-yard shot will land the ball In a trap.
A pronounced slice makes It even easier for
the player.
Beautiful Stretch of Rolling Land
Just as you como out of the woods you
glimpse the new course. The old course
Is flat. But before your eyes you see a
sweep of ground of rdil'ng country and
the contrast between the two pieces of
property Is so marked that you remark It
In amazement And over this stretch of
rolling country, Itoss has laid out some
wonderfully excellent holes. His two-shot-ters
In particular are nnc, ranging from
full braoseys and cleeks to mldlron a'nd
mashles for the second shot. And on every
one of these If you do not get your drive
jou cannot hope to be hole high on your
second shot.
Some one has said that the test of any
good golf course is Its one-shot holes. Pine
Valley. Merlon and Whitemarsh are
examples of this and Blverton is another,
The first looks like a jigger and mashle.
but too often these shots land tho ball
In the big trap In front of the green. Later
on there Is another one-shotter from an
elevated tee and a careless survey of this

Chicago's best chance runs along the Line
of Strength thnt carries four pickets.
It starts with Schalk nnd ends at I-c sen
The older Is Schalk, Clcotte. Collins nnd
This line runs through the center of the
White Sox machine, and Is the bulwark of
the White Sox defense nnd one of the main
factors In attack.
Thee four men are nil stars of the nrst
order More than a few neutral observers
believe thnt Qlcotto and Schalk will prove to
be the great battery of tho series ; the best
of the lot. .
And still more believe thnt Collins nnd
Felsch v IH bo the respective Infield and out
field stars of the engagement.
They figure Collins tho best lnflclder on
cither club and Felsch the best outfielder
Tho general verdict seems to be that
Felsch, as a defensive outfielder, ranks next
to Speaker In the Go-Gct-'crn circuit. And
Felsch can hit
Collins
"As far ns jou can figure anything In
baseball." comments Manager Bowland,
"Collins Is almost sure to be at his best
nnd one of the big stars of tho series.
"Collins Is a great ball player at all
times. But through the season he is in
clined to keep his strength In reserve. He
Isn't physically powerful enough to hold a
dashing pace all tho j car. If ho tried to
he would soon bo worn to a whisper. But
In a five, six or seven game meeting he can
let himself go nnd move nt top speed And
when he does he can carry a whole ball
club with him.
"Hddle has already been In four World

all four. And in only one of the four uiu

"There are a few World Series types that

llevo any of them reach their best form In
as many different branches ns Collins does

A Scries Club
Manager Bowiand had another point to'
offer for the earnest consideration of those
fanatics who esteem the dope.
"The Sox," he said, "uro one of tho best
short series clubs I ever saw. Some clubs
are at their best over a long stretch, but
not so good In a short dash. The Sot have
stamlnn. but they can also sprint. Last

a ball club change qulckei They went to

Our Hudsons Are,
About All Gone
Number of Super-Sixes at present prices limited. Practically
all makers have already increased prices.
i
We now see the last of the Hudson
Super-Six cars we will be able to sell at
present prices. The factory has given us
definite allotments. On at least two
models they haveN notified us that final
shipments will be completed within two
weeks.
When those cars are-sold it means that
the last Hudson Super-Six to be had at
the present base price of $1650 for the
seven-passenger phaeton has gone. Then
a new price will become effective. That
price will be based upon material costs
that are much higher than were those of
the present production.
As a single example of the greater cost
of an automobile today as compared to
the cost of a year ago, consider the item
of iron... Its low price for the years of
1915-1917 was $12.27 a ton. Today it
sells at $52.90 a ton. Iron is used in
making the finest steels, the frame, the
motor, the body, etc. Its use in a fine
automobile constitutes a large item. You
can get from this some idea of the
tremendous need for automobile price
increases, r
Then when you think of the number of
cars that have fone up in price in the last
few months you get a further under
standing of the great opportunity you
have inTjuying a Hudson Super-Si: now.
More than fifty makers have -advanced
prices within the last two months. Cars
which formerly sold at $1200 and' $1300
now cost about as .much as a Super-Six.
There was no question as to which was
the preferred car then, though because of
