Philadelphia. Oct. I.—Good weather
and a liberal patronage are the most
important things needed to make the
world's baseball series a big success,
wmtffonal commissioners worked out
details yesterday.
The only change from last vear in j
the arrangements for playing the se
ries is that two games will be plaved
on successive days here and in Bos
ton. On Monday. October 12. and
Tuesday. October 13, the games will
be staged at Fenway Park, the Ameri
can League grounds in Boston. After
this the teams will alternate each day,
playing here Wednesday, October 14,
and in Boston on Thursday, October
15. In case of the series going to
seven games a coin will be tossed to
decide which city shall have the honor
»f the linal and deciding game. As
in former years, in case of rain or a
tie on any day the teams will remain |
in the same city to play it off.
The same system of distributing
tickets for the series as prevailed last
year was adopted. Seats will be sold
for three games and in case the series |
is decided before the third game is
played here, as was the case last year,
the money for the unplayed games
will be refunded.
Last year the Athletics had twenty
five eligible players, wflo divided
$81,098.50 as the winner's share of!
the first four games, and New York
had twenty-four players, who divided
$54,065.67. Each club's share of last |
year's series was $59,381.86.
The official attendance of the 1913
series was 151,000, three games in
New York drawing 109,869 persons
and the two games in this city being
patronized by 41.131. Shibe Park can
accommodate about 2 3.000. while there
is room for between 37,000 and 40,000 !,
at Fenway Park, according to Presi-j
dent Gaffney's statement yesterday.
No Changes in Rules
No changes were made in the rules l!
for playing worlds series games. As!
heretofore, four games must be won!
by a club to claim the championship.
In the event of a seventh game being
necessary the toss of a coin after the
sixth contest will decide whether the |
seventh shall be played in Boston or i
Philadelphia, in case of a tie game I
or a postponement the clubs will re-1

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 1, 1914
MARTY KAVANAUGH
WANTS TO BE CATCHER
Former York Star Is Making a Big
Hit With the Leader of the
Detroit Tigers
Marty Kavanaugh. the former Tri-
State star, who has neen * big sen
i sation with Detroit, is doing backstop
work and may get into the catching
; game.
Kavanaugh, who started his career 1
'with York, had been playing inlleld 1
j for the Tigers. ills work attracted I
I world-wide attention. There was dan- j
! ger of "Marty" getting a regular Job j
| and some star going to the bench. 1
1 Jennings made Kavanaugh an emer
| gency man. Now Manager Jennings j
j is seriously considering Kavanaugh's
j possibilities as a backstop, and while
I it is much too late to do anything this
i year the Tigers' leader will work with
Kavanaugh in the spring training sea
| son of 1915 with a view of developing
, him. At the start of the season Jen
nings figured that Kavanaugh might
! develop into a star inlielder if he could
! rid himself of the habit of lighting
j the ball.
"You know," said Hughie. in the
early season, "a player is liabie to
eliminate that fault in a day. Fight
! ing the ball is displaying a habit and
;it is a habit experience oftentimes
breaks. Kavanaugh may acquire the
knack of fielding; he may not —that Is
something time alone will tell."
Evidently time has told Hughie that
Marty cannot eradicate his one great
fault.
"Kavanaugh is a pretty good hitter
and if satisfied with his duties should
do considerably better than the pres
ent percentages show. He is big and
he is fast. He seems to ha.ve a good
throwing arm and there isn't any
question about he willingness to block
runners off the base lines."
Kavanaugh has had experience as a
backstop. He caught half a dozen
games for York in the Tri-State
League last year and he says he
wasn't bothered any in throwing to
the bases.

! PEN X-STATE FOOTBALL TEAM
i Haroid Clark, a former Central
High star, is the big sensation at
1 State College. Clark's smashing game
i was the feature of Penn-State's prac
! tiee yesterday.
I Four time he crosse.. the scrubs
| line for touchdowns. Each time he
carried the ball for long gains from
j open formations. Thomas, one of the
i leading end candidates, tallied an-
I other score when he ran thirty yards
I after receiving a pass from Ewing.
Welty had recovered sufficiently from
! his injury to resume his place at right
I halfback! After a long layoff he dis
plaved old-time form in advancing the
ball. His returning to the game will aid
I the coaches in solving the backfleld
problem. Penn-State's work in inter
fering for the runner was weak j
against Westminster.

"HYPOCRITES," REED

FLAYS CLAYTON BILL
Senator From Missouri Arraigns
Conference Report on Anti-
Trust Measure
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Oct. I.—Loyal sup
porters of the Administration In the
Senate and House make no secret of
the anxiety that has been caused by
the two days' speech of Senator Reed,
of Missouri, against the conference
report of the Clayton antitrust meas
ure.
Senator Reed's arraignment was the
most vitriolic ever heard in the Sen
ate, and his denunciations of the con
ference report as ?n apology to the
trusts and a betrayal of the Baltimore
platform have caused such uneasiness
on the Democratic side of the cham
ber as to prompt serious talk of re
committing the bill to the conferees.
A number of Democratic Senators arc
threatening to vote to recommit.
Says Measure Is Stripped
During his speech Senator Hooil
showed that the conferees had prac
tically stripped the bill of the provis
ions which would he most effective
against combines and monopolies. As
a matter of fact, the conservatives of
the Senate have never desired a dras
tic hill, and the Democratic conserva
tives are going to vote for the con
ference report, giving as their reason
that to recommit the bill would be a
slip at the President, who has given
the report his endorsement and might
delay legislation contained in the
bill.
Senator Reed warned his Demo
cratic colleagues that the party was
playing the hypocrite. He said:
"We are playing the hypocrite, sir.
came here sounding our symbals,
grinding our loins, burnishing our
weapons. We said to all the world:
•When this great Democratic host
shall assemble, when it bears down
Upon the citadels of greed, of corrup
tion, of plunder, then you will see how
valiant arms, backed by honest hearts,
will hew a clean path for the common
people to tread.' "
City Wants a Farmer

job, seal up your suggestion and mail
it to City Commissioner M. Harvey
