It has been eight years now since Ty Cobb adorned a world series. Yet
here Is an entry who worked with Cobb back in Augusta days around 1904
(about to pop Into ono with Ty up in the stands writing about him. We refer
!to the citizen exploited Just above.
World Series Veterans
In responding to the query of a citizen and taxpayer seeking Informa
tion, the facts seem to be about this:
The White Sox have only one man—Eddie Collins —who ever partici
pated in a world series before.
The Giants have Tesreau, Burns, Fletcher, Herzog and Zimmerman as
world nories Veterans.
The Kod Sox are all world series veterans, having won championships
for two years back.
A Hugged Blow lY>r J. Barry
If the Red Sox are finally suppressed this will bring a rugged blow to
i Jack Barry.
Jack has had a hard time of it in a world series way. So far he has
only been in six of them—four with Philadelphia and two with Boston. His
I increment thereof has been about SIB,OOO.
When you get the habit such as that, any sudden snapping brings a
jolt. Barry has been oft the payroll of but one world series since 1909. He
'collected in 1910, 1911, 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916. And what is even more
to the point, five of these six starts were from the winner's end.
The Bravo uprising in 1914 was his sole slip to second money when
i the prizes were passed around.
But Tlicn—
Reference to Mr. Barry's impending lapse calls to mind that Mr. Col
lins, an old mate, is about due to collect again,
Eddie has had even tougher luck than Jack. He has been in only
four world series and this next one, things going that way, will only make
his fifth. So, whatever happens, Eddie will still be at least one world series
back of Barry, who still remains the record-holder.
'ln playing a world series game," asks T. F. K., "do you keep your eye
on the ball or on the CO per cent?" The first—if you are to collect the
second. ,
"Which is the better base-running club—the Giants or White Sox?" a
bystander wants to know.
Base-running has figured so lightly in world series of the past that BO
far we haven't examined the delicate details. We hope to expound the same
at an early date.
K. J. ll.—The best batting average Joe Jackson ever had was .408, In
1911; the best mark Heinie Zimmerman ever had was .372, the same year,
lidilie'u Summit
Eddie Collins' greatest world series year was against the Giants, in j
1913. In that series he batted .421, and accepted 34 out of 35 chances at
second base.
Against the Braves, in 1914, he dropped, to .214, proving once more the
widespread elasticity and fickleness of the popular dope.
When a star bats .421 in one series and .214 in the next, the general in
efticacy of figures can be understood,

"Jack and the Beanstalk" is not

At the head of a cast of 1,00 are
two reniarkuble children. Francis Car

RECORD DAY IN
BIG FALL SHOOT
Entry List Keeps Everybody
Busy; No Sensations in
First Event
Atlantic City, N. J„ Sept. 12.
Amateurs topped professionals at the
opening day's program of the elev
enth annual shoot of the Westy Ho
gans yesterday. Woolfolk Hender
son, of Lexington, Ky„ and A. H.
King, of Pittsburgh, led tho field
with 147 breaks in the 150 targets.
Frank Huseman, of Rochester, and
T. P. Fox, of Roanoke, Va., were
high professionals, each with a total
of 145 in the same allottment. C. D.
Voburn, of Mechanicsville, Ohio, and
George N. Fish, of LlndenvUle. N. Y.,
ranked second among the "Simon
pures" with 146 down in 150 blue
rocks.
Considering the caliber of the field,
scores were mediocre and there was
no sensational shooting. Leo Bea-1
champ, Delaware state champion, |
cracked 14 5, and Clarence B. Piatt,
who won the New Jersey crown this
year at Little Falls by smashing 100
straight and then oontlnulng for a
run of 233, broke 144. Fred Plum,
holder of three world's records,
knocked oft 145 and Charles 11. New
comb 144.
Record Entries
Owing to tho unusually heavy en
try list of 162 shooters on practice
day, the greatest in the annals of the
organization, a number of squads
could not finish yesterday, afternoon.
The unprecedented field is a testi
monial to the new program which
promises to hold interest until the
very wlndup on Saturday afternoon.
The money in the instances where
events were unfinished will l>e re
turned and the afternoon events
officially closed by the committee.
There will be 175 targets thrown
to-day. Five events of fifteen tar

No Sales Reported in
New York State League;
Blame It All on War
Scranton, Sept. 12.—Proving that
the New York State League Is slump
ing badly in the way of developing
talent, and also that the majors have
hit on a plan of economy on account
of the war, the six teams making up
the Farrell wheel finished the season
without having sold one player to
the big leagues.
This is an unheard of condition in
the State League, which, in bygone
years, has turned out such stars as
Steve O'Neill, Heinie Zimmerman,
George Burns, Gladstone Graney,
Johnny Evers, Bill Ilinchman, Leon
Cadore, Pep Young, Frank Schulte,
Bill Fisher, George Chalmers,* How
ard Ehmko, Grover Cleveland Alex
ander and a number of others.
State League managers claim the
failure of teams tp sell players to the
majors this year Is due to the war
conditions entirely not because
I there Is a scarcity of talent. It is
their contention that the league has
as many promising youngsters to
day as ih previous campaigns, and
that but for the unsettled outlook
that confronts the national game,
the usual number of profitable sales
would have been negotiated.
NEW SCOUTMASTER
Marysvllle, Pa., Sept. 12. —Oliver
J. Dickey has been appointed assist
ant scoutmaster of Troop 1, Boy
Scouts of America, of this place. Un
der his direction, the members of
the organization are busy improving
their house in Front street.
A meeting has been called for
Friday evening when a thorough re-1
organization will take place. New
patrols will be formed and an entire
new corps of officers will be se
lected.
From the very nrst foot of film "The
Mysterious Miss Terry," which will be
shown at the Regent
Blllle Burke Theater to-day for
at the Resent the last time, holds
the attention and In
terest at top notch. In this produc
tion Billie Burke is said to be ador
able.
Commencing to-morrow, for a
three-day engagement, George M.
Cohan, the popular actor-author-pro
ducer of both the theatrical and film
worlds, will appear in his latest
photoplay for Artcraft Pictures,
"Seven Keys to Baldpate," One of Mr
Cohan's greatest Broadway sensa
tions. this play adapted from the book
of the same name by Earl Derr Big
gers, scored an emphatic hit all over
the country several years ago. As a
motion picture vehicle for the In
imitable comedian, It offers an admir
able subject In which to present to
good advantage his famous manner
isms and at the same time discloses
particular adaptabilities to motion
picture presentation. Announced as
a "mystery farce." this picture is
confidently expected to amaze and
thrill to a much greater extent than
even the original play.
