10 McGRAW'S ACTION STIRS FANS VETERAN STARS FOR BIG GAMES Less Than Ton in Former World's Battles; Bdfeton Falls Off New York, Oct. 4.—Of the seven teen players who represented the Bos ton American League club in the fa mous eight-game world's series with the New York Nationals in 1912 less than ten will be seen in the coming series to be staged before the end of the week. Counting the present sea son the Ited Sox have won three pen nants and figured in three world's ser ies in the past live years. Victors over the New York Giants in the stirring struggle of 1312 by four games to three with a tie contest thrown in for good measure, the Ked ltoj added to their prestige in 1915 by sweeping through the Philadelphia Nationals to a world's championship, four games to one. In the 1912 series outfielders Hooper and Lewis were the same fast fielding, hard hitting players they are to-day. Gardner, the present third baseman, guarded the same sack: Cady and Car rlgan worked behind the home plate and utility outfielder llenriksen figured as an emergency hitter but did not play In the field. All these members of the Red Sox combination participated In the series of a year ago in addition to Janvrln, Barry. Hoblitzel, Gainor, Scott, Thomas, Shore, Kuth, Leonard and Fos ter. Boston I'll lis Oflf In 1912 the Boston team had a world's series batting average of .220 and a fielding average of .958. in 1915 the Red Sox batted .261 and fielded .975. This season the averages show that up to within a few days of the close of the pennant race the Boston club, considered as a whole was batt ing .248 and fielding .971. Taking the figures for the two world's series and the work of the team for the major 'part of the 1916 pennant season the grand average will be found to be batting .244 and the fielding average .969. The opinion is held in some quarters that the outfield with Tris Speaker missing from the line-up is not as strong as the one that played in the 1912 and the 1915 seasons The absence of Barry from second base, due to in juries, is thought by certain critics to have weakened the inlleld defense and offense during the closing weeks of the race and It is contended that should he be able to participate in the series play the team will be far more for midable than with Barry on the bench. Pitching Ilecorda There is but one opinion regarding the pitching staff, however, and a glance at the work of the twirlers, who have borne the burden of the hurling, and their records for the present season will indicate clearly the reason for the Boston fan's optimism regarding the outcome of the coming contests. The averages of the leading pitchers, both on the basis of games won and lost and earned runs per game by oppon-j ents, are as follows: Shore. .600 and 2.75; Mays, .615 and 1 2.30; Ruth. .667 and 2.01; Leonard, .613 and 2.37; Foster, .591 and 3.07; Gregg, .333 and 3.23. Charles H. Ebbets to Quit if He Can Get His Price Brooklyn, Oct. 4. After receiving congratulations over Brooklyn's vic tory, Charles H. Ebbets, president of the club, announced that he was ready to retire from baseball whenever a purchaser for his club appeared "with the price."

He asserted that the McKeever interests in the Brooklyn club also were for sale. Ebbets said Ills ambition to win another pennant has been realized, and that he was ready to transfer Brooklyn to other hands. Manager Wilbert Robinson and his 1 players held a celebration over their victory in the clubhouse after the 1 gatne. All the players shook hands : with each other, and Robinson was ! forced to make a speech. He thanked j liis players for their efforts, and pre- 1 dieted success in the approaching ser- ' ie 9 against Boston. The baseball writers of Brooklyn an nounced they would give a dinner to the Brooklyn players and management on October 17. Brooklyn fans have arranged a parade in honoi of the team when it departs for Boston on Friday. McGraw Leaves Ball Field When His Team Plays Poorly Brooklyn, Oct. 4.—Declaring that he was disgusted with the playing of his team, Manager John J. McGraw, of the New York National League Club, left the playing field at Ebbets Field in the, fifth inning of yesterday's game be tween Brooklyn and New York and retired to the clubhouse. Manager Mc- Graw did not appear on the field after that inning. In a statement after the game, in which Brooklyn clinched the National League pennant, McGraw asserted that although he did not believe any of the players tried deliberately to favor Brooklyn, they had refused to obey orders and had disregarded signals. ' "When Perritt wound up with a man I on first base, allowing the runner to steal second, I lost my patience and left the bench," declared the New York leader. "1 have worked too hard this j year to stand around and watch playing like that, and I refuse to be connected with it." WAR YF7TERAN DIES Lewistown, Pa., Oct. 4.

CENSURE STRONG AGAINST GIANTS Players Refuse to Obey Orders From McGraw, Opinion Prevailing Today New York, Oct. 4.—The glory of Brooklyn's victory in the National League race was temporarily obscured to-dav by the controversy in baseball circle# over Manager McGraw's cen sure of the New York club in yester day's game which decided the pen nant. McGraw accused somo of his men of disobeying orders and playing indifferent baseball. Few outside of the inner circles of the New York club knew early to-day whether McGraw would manage his club in the game with Brooklyn this afternoon or whether he would make good his assertion when he left .the field —"I am through for the year." _ John D. Foster, secretary of the New York club, expressed the opinion that McGraw would finish out the sea son. Mr. Foster declared it was im possible for the New York club to have deliberately lost the game with Brook lyn yesterday, but said that McGraw was thoroughly aroused by the indif ference of his men. Player Disobedient Most of those who heard McGraw's comment when he left the field in anger say that he did not accuse his players of dishonesty, but of disregard ing his signals, and that he would not stand for that kind of baseball. Wil bert Robinson, manager of the Brook lyn club, said: "It is ridiculous even to suggest that the New Yorks were not trj'ing to beat us yesterday. It looked to me as if they were trying pretty hard when they scored three runs against us in the first inning. At that time I felt like quitting the bench myself. McGraw's assertions are very unsportsmanlike. He knows very well the Brooklvns are superior to the New Yorks and have defeated them in a majority of the gomes this season, and when they came here Monday they encountered the best team in the league. It was only natural the best team should win. The New Yorks did play bad baseball yesterday, but they were just out of a long winning streak that Boston crushed Saturday and they had not the stamina to win. They were simply outclassed and did not have to play listlessly so that we could win." John K. Tenor Talks Jchn K. Tener, president of the National League, said that after the Brooklvns scored four runs in the third inning the New York club "played sloppily and it was unfor tunate that it happened in the game that decided the pennant. I knew nothing about the players disregarding McGraw's signals, but if they did, it was a violation of club discipline. They crumbled under the fast pace that made for them a new record in victories in the major leagues." W . D. Perritt, the New York pitcher whose action in "winding up" while a man was on first incensed McGraw. said: "If there is any implication that I helped to lose the game, you can give it the lie for me. That game cost me SIOO I had bet that I would win twenty games. I was out to win." Country Culb Golfers Win Over York at Reading Reading, Pa.. (Jet. 4.

SCHOOL TEAMS HAVE GOOD GAMES Central Meets Johnstown Away From Home; Lebanon Is At traction at Island Park When Central High faces Johnstown Saturday at Johnstown there will he a different team than the one in the opening game last Saturday. Ineligible players are working hard and keeping at practice. It is the belief that at least three of the star regulars who were not able to get into last Satur day's battle because of studies will be ill the line-up at Johnstown. Captain Eddie Hilton, with Wolfe Fields the two Rogers, Selhamer and Frank, had special drill yesterday prior to the scrimmage between the regulars and second squad. Coaches Smith and Harris tried out several new forma tions and look for a speedier bunch in the gi:nie with Johnstown. Tech Meets liobanon While Central is battling with the Flood City chaps Tech will be trying to put Lebanon down. After practice to-da ythe work of each player will be watched closely. The line-tip for Sat urday is far from certain. The younger athUtes have been showing form. At quarter "Ted" Lloyd plavs bril liantly and ia undoubtedly the beat ground gainer in the squad. He has an able substitute in Horner, a second year lad, who has been showing good form lately. With Captain Harris in a position to play, the one back po sition will be well taken care of. He will likely play a half. Gougler, who was injured the forepart of last sea son. looks good in the back field. Two other freshmen who are making reg ulars hustle to hold down their po sitions are Carl Beck and Wllsbach. BASEBALL SUMMARY WHERE THEY PLAY TO-DAY National lieague New York at Brooklyn.
