Although the aver age age of the leading players of the two combinations is not widely sepa rated tjje Athletic's machine is So fa mous and its success so striking that It appears old by comparison with the squad that George Stallinss whipped In shape in midsummer and thus won «. pennant for Boston. Taking tjventy odd players of the two teams as a basis it will be founcj that the aver- U nge age of the Athletics is twenty-six and one«toalf years and the Braves twenty-four and three-fourth years. While less than two years in aver age age separates the teams the ex tremes are more marked in the Ath letics tban the Braves. Plank, Bender, Coombs, ftldring, and Thomas. All are past thirty, but the majority of those who will figune in the daily line-up are several years under this iige. The three youngest players in the squad are the pitchers. Bush, I'ennock and Wyckoff. Americans Have Advantage The American League represents)- H tives hav* the advantage in wears of ■ baseball experience for the Mtfladel ■ jihia club player? average fully a year ■ jnore in time spent upon the profes f sional then the Boston players. Tbe Braves average is approximately live years with Johnny Evers heading the list with twelve years of play. The point of professional sew ice Plank leads the Atheltics with thirteen years of baseball play and experience at his ba<ck. Bender is but ope year behind suid several others just- fall short of double figures in their diamond career. As a result the Athletic's average is six years notwithstanding the fact that a number of comparative youngsters are marshaled under the Philadelphia flag. The team which will act as the _ _ standard bearers of \he National |M~ League is an interesting combination of the youth and the age of the dia- W mond. In some cases extremes have ■ been blended by Manager Stalling? in ■ artful mannor to make of the Braves w a winning team. This fact is illus- J trated in two notable cases. Principal figures in the scheme of attack and defense which enabled the Braves to win to the front of the stirring race In the National League Veteran of Many Gaines Johnny Evers, veteran of nearly 2,000 games, a figure prominent in the recent history of the sport, has ■tvorked in effective colaboration about second base with "Rabbit" Maran ville, barely more than a boy, playing his second season with a major league club. The same combination of old and young is found in the records of the men of the outfield, and of the pitching staff. These figures show the oldest member of the team to be Otto Hess, with 33 years behind him. Al most a boy, Paul Strand at 19 years Is the baby of the team.

"BOB" SHAWKEY 10 WED "TIGER LADY" Former Harrisburg Twirler Admits That Reports Are True; An nouncement a Surprise "Bob" Shawkey, the former Harris burg twirler, now with Connie Mack, will marry Mrs. Herbert Marvin Clapp, better known as the "Tiger Lady," soon after the world's series. An nouncement of the engagement was made in Philadelphia last night. Both Shawkey and Mrs. Clapp admitted that the reports were true. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: "Mrs. Clapp was divorced from her husband four years ago. H. Mason Clapp, known as the "Boot Black King," died in Japan a year ago. "Her married life with Clapp was tempestuous. Four years ago she was arrested on a charge of shooting her husband in the neck in their apart ments at 1511 Girard' avenue. "When Clapp recovered he dropped prosecution. Soon afterward he was made defendant in an action brought by his wife, who accused him of as sault and battery. Nothing ever came of the case. In her charges Mrs. Clapp asserted her husband tried to kill her, but was shot himself In a struggle for possession of a revolver. "In December, 1911, Clapp and two detectives charged that they had found Mrs. Clapp with another man in a house near Seventeenth and Mount Vernon streets. He immediately began divorce proceedings and was granted an absolute divorce some months lat er. "He then went to Japan, where he died a year ago. Since her divorce Mrs. Clapp has been living at the home of her sister, Mrs. Roberta C. La Kler, at G2l(i Vine street. "Before her marriage to Clapp, who had an income of 110,000 a year from his grandfather's estate, she was a manicurist in a downtown hotel. She met Clapp when he visited the hotel to have his nails manicured. He in duced her to go to Texas with him, and at New Hempstead, that State, they were married. "After their return to the city Mrs. Clapp was a familiar figure, riding in an automobile and wearing a robe o£ tiger skins and a toque to match. Thus she gained the title of "tiger lady.'

EVA TANGUAY IN "MUSS TABASCO" In her new play, "Miss Tabasco," Eva Tanguay has Interpreted fourteen musical numbers written by John Ford. Eva Tanguays success is due to herself alone, her ability to give her public just what it wants, and she very wisely refrains from trying to make them accept anything else. lln deciding to produce "Aliss Ta basco" she had to turn down a tempt ing vaudeville offer. The company that will be seen in support of Miss Tanguay are all actors of metropoli tan reputation and she has given tho play an adequate production.

The record of hav- I ing played an entire season at the Forty-eighth Street Theater is one that has not been reached by many rivals, and can be explained only by the il luminating fact that "To-day" would never have won this distinction if it had not satisfied the theater-going public.—Advertisement.

Miss Franklin will offer an entirely new repertoire of songs that she has been singing with tremendous success in many of the country's leading vaudeville thea ters this season, but which will be heard for the first time in Harrisburg when Miss /'"ranklin introduces them next week.

Another act of Interest on week's bill will be the return of Frank Milton and the DcLong Sisters in a revival of their I successful "rube" comedy skit, called I "Twenty Minutes' Layover at Alfalfa [station."
