12 BASEBALL SEASON ENDS—WORLD'S SERIES OPENS TOMORROW AT PHILADELPHIA JOHNNY EVERS PICKS PHILLIES Sizes Up Shore as Weakling; Chalmers Is Safe Bet, Says Boston Leader Special to The Telegraph Boston. Mass., Oct. 7.—Johnny Evers picks the Phillies to win not only because of Chalmers, who the Trojan says is as safe a bet as Alex ander. Evers expects Shore to develop remarkable weakness in keeping men near the bases and in fielding. He said in an interview: "The real reason why I think the j Phils will win is because I think Alex- ] ander is the greatest pitcher in the j world. I've seen that big fellow from j the very first season he started in the game, and I know for a fact that there hasn't been a greater pitcher in the National League in the last fourteen or fifteen years than he is to-day. "They are betting almost even money that if Leonard starts Friday against Alex the Sox will win. That | sort of betting is nonsense. In the j first place, it wouldn't surprise me if j Leonard didn't go after that first | game. That big fellow Shore seems to j me to be the best pitcher on the team | for this series. Oarrigan may get Shore over the fault of giving runners ■ such a chance to steal bases, before I this series, but if he leaves as big openings as he did when 1 saw him > against St. Louis the Phils will steal a lot of bases. And a stolen base may decide a game or a series. Shore Has a Weakness "If we figured that Shore is the Sox best pitcher for this series, while at the same time we know that he show ed a bad weakness with men on bases, I it is a pretty good argument that the| Phils will start with a big advantage. ! "No one has given George Chalmers! the credit that he actually has coming' to him. Geol-ge is a wonderful pitch-j er, a marvel for six or seven innings 1 and likely to go the remainder of the] route all right. If he does. I'll take aj chance and say that Philadelphia has [ a- safe a bet in htm as they have in I Alexander. As for Moran I have j known him for many years, and be-1 lieve he is far brainier, more resource ful and craftier than he is given credit I for being. "I don't believe Chance taught Mor-! an a tbing. Moran taught himself. If] It hadn't been that Kling was a mar- j vel, Moran would have made himself famous the world over. Moran is the 1 kind of an individual who peeks un- i der his cap. sees the possibility of a J play, tips off his man, and then when | the play goes through the fans say l "that player is a wonder. See how he pulled off that play. They forget, or don't know, that Moran's brain diag-j nosed it all and the player was simply doing the mechanical end of the job.' That's the sort of ability that makes j success. Moran isn't any fluke man ager. He'll show himself to be a wonder before he gets through or I'm away off." $3.00 —TO— NEW YORK AND RETURN Via Philadelphia & Reading Railway, SUNDAY -a /v OCTOBER 1U Special Excursion Train From Lv.A.M.

THURSDAY EVENING, BUCK FREEMAN'S RECORD STANDS I I I jjjjj jjj In the last double-header of the season yesterday, in which Philadel phia scored two victories over Brooklyn. Cravath. the star hitter of the. season made another home run. It was his twenty-fourth four-sacker jf the season.

There was much disappointment on the part of the fans because Pat Moran did not keep the champion clouter in the second game. AGED ARMSTRONG VALLEY READING THE TELEGRAPH FOR NEARLY 80 YEARS Samuel She pipy. Who'll Be 91 on Christmas Day, Re news Subscription; Paper's Been in Family Since Days , of Its Founding by Theophi lus Fenn; Venerable Gentle man Is Keen on Subjects of day and Is Rather Strong on Woman Suffrage Samuel Shepley, o. Armstrong Val ley, two miles out from Halifax, has renewed his subscription to the Tele graph. Xow. of course, there's nothing re markable about anyone's renewing his subscription to the Telegraph, for most everyone who takes it does that little thing when the time's ripe. The re markable thing is that the venerable Mr. Shepley has been reading the Telegraph ever since he was 12 years old—and he'll be 91 on Christmas Day! That makes the grizzled old veteran a reader for nearly 80 years! How's that'.' Samuel Shepley is the oldest living descendant of the old Shepley family that settled up along the Armstrong creek, way back in the days when the woods were full of Indians. The aged gentleman was born and raised in the old farmhouse where he still resides and he was never away from home for a longer stretch than several months in his life. He married one of the fair and buxom lasses of the neighbor hood, a Miss Ryan, and when his par ents died, he took over the old Shep ley farm and many a crop of the goodly things of orchard and field has been ripened and harvested since those days of long ago. His sons and daughters—and there are quite a number of them, for In those days race suicide was not the popular thing it is to-day—are now living on farms throughout the valley where they were born. One son, Charles S. Shepley lives at 29 South Third street, this city. But about Mr. Shepley's reading the Telegraph? The grandfatherly old gentleman likes to talk about that, you can be sure He relates how, when little more than 12 years old he used to lie on the floor by the big fire side in the old homestead and read for hours about the doings of the day. He TRAVELETTE By NIKSAH SIDNEY s In Sidney, Australia, midsummer ar rives about the first of January and the thermometer plays around among the seventies, although It has been known to soar as high as 106. And it never freezes in August winters. Sidney is as far south of the equator as Xorfolk is north of It, but that town which hides around the very farthest corner of the biggest Island in the world has a more equitable climate than the cities of the same latitude on the Atlantic seaboard of America. They represent a mean between the climates of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. It is through a tortuous channel that ships gain admission to the har bor at Sidney. Then that body of water spreads out like the palm of the hand with its fingers representing deep Indentations. Between these fingers are hunchbacked ridges of land, which.

They learned to milk and hoe po tatoes and do other chores instead. But when he reached the age of 12 "Sammy" could read, and he's been reading the paper ever since. He's a keen observer of the signs of the times, rather believes in woman suff rage, and is a staunch Republican. The picture of the aged Mr. Shep ley was snapped not long ago in front of a big sugar maple tree which has been standing outside the old home stead ever since he can remember— and that's a long, long time. the coast, are covered with luxuriant timber. The city itself is up and down like a choppy ?ea—its buildings being lo cated some in depressions and some upon scraggy hills—at a distance giv ing the impression of the remains of the ruins of a giant structure of old. As one approaches the spires and towers take shape and the villas among the trees on the points of land reveal their beauties and the commer cial structures of-the hills become the hives of commerce. Its harbor is the particular pride ! of Sidney and there is not a better In all the world. Its many indentations are the pleasure places of much of the big, barren island, for little but the rim of Australia is green, and its resi dents appreciate the advantages of re gions of water and trees. Pleasure craft swarm in and out of these deep bays, where the picnickers of this British people of the far-away take their sport. The only possibility of disappoint ment is the occasional sandstorm from the interior, which may roll down upon even this coast retreat and bear with It great clouds of dust from the desert. Then is the time for retreat Indoors and for a sealing of houses that the all-pervading dirt may be excluded.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH TECH AT EASTON; CENTRAL HOME Both Games Are Important; Stevens Trade School Island Attraction Tech High will go to Easton on Saturday. The local eleven meets the High school team of that place. Tech's schedule has been changed and Tech High is without a game for November 13. Sunbury High will not meet Tech this season according to present ar rangements. The game at Easton on Saturday will be important. It will be the first meeting between Tech and Easton. Central High Tuning Up Central High is tuning up for the game with Stevens Trade School of Lancaster. The contest will take place at Island Park. The Lancaster eleven will have a much stronger Une-up than two weeks ago when the team | played at Steelton. Regular men who were out with injuries will be back in the game. Central will not take any chances of being caught napping. The team that showed remarkable form last Saturday will go in against Stevens Trade eleven. Rote, the plucky little captain for Central, will be in the line up. He will also play in every game scheduled, barring accidents. The same old controversy regarding eligibility of players, and rules of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association started again yesterday, but did not get very far. No official recognition was given, and It Is not likely there will be any for the pres ent. Paul Smith the Central coach had his squad out to-day, ofid will order a special practice of the regular team to-morrow afternoon. It is probable a game will be played with the second team squad. The game on Saturday starts at 3 o'clock. Arrangements will be made to announce the scores of the world's series game.

Encouraged by the showing of the Red Sox twirlers in the games with New York yester day, the gambling element in this city last night again offered odds on a Bos ton success In the world's series. The figures most frequently mentioned about town are 10 to 8. with a fair de mand for the Bhort end bv Philadelphia supporters. Odds of 10 to 7 offered a week ago, had disappeared Tuesday, when even money was the general proportion, but yesterday's game In New York apparently did much to re store confidence ia the Bed Sox, RED SOX STAR FIRST BASEMAN v " HOCSL/TZEt- Here is the man who will cover the initial bag during the world's series. Hoblltzel, a year ago was with the Cincinnati lleds in the National League and received his uncondtional release. No team in the National League would lake him, but the New York Yankees picked him up, but after one week traded him to the Red Sox. This year he batted .285 and fielded .986. He bats left handed and throws right handed. He is twenty six years old.
