Gbantlar Copyright, 1917, Th Tribune Association INw York Tribune). Just what the earnest or fiery athlete does through the season Is no dlirect test by any means as to what he contemplates doing through a world series. In past October affairs we have observed two sets of cases—first, that of the season star hitting the big scries as a fat man might light upon the top of a soapy shute —with revision all downward. Just a Few Shifts Here are just a few upsets between a full season's count and a world' series showing: TY COBB —1909. Season's average 377 World Series average 231 JACK BARRY—I9II Season's average 265 World Series average 368 HANK GOWDY—I9I4 Season's average 243 World Series average 545 EDDIE COLLINS—I9I4 Season's average 344 World series average 214 DUFFY LEWIS—I9IS Season's average 290 World Series average 500 GAVTY CRAVATH—I9IS Season's average 285 World Series average 154 JAKE HAUBERT—I9I6 Season's average 316 World Series average 176 From the Top These records are not made from unknown talent horning In for a game or two. The list includes Cobb, Collins. Barry, Lewis, Cravath, Gowdy, Daubert ■ —all among the leaders. These figures show how quickly upsets can come—and from what un expected quarters. Cobb, the games's greatest hitter, has never been able to bat in three world series attempts. And there is Eddie Collins. In the 1910 series Eddie batted .429. In the 1911 series he dropped to .286. In the 1913 series he rose again to .421. In 1914 he dropped back to 214. Here is a batting range of almost .200 points from year to year. No wonder the prophets and the soothsavers are badly baffleff from time to time. The one citizen they could never suppress in a world series was John Franklin Baker. The only time they ever had him whining was In 1914, and even then he reached .260. A world series was as much home to him as that Maryland farm just outside of Grandold Trappe. And Yet In spite of these irregularities that develop here and there Is notable or Isolated sports, the advance dope in the main is vindicated. Those who have contributed to the bulk of world series glory are Mathewson, Bender, Plank, Wagner, Speaker, Collins, Baker, Barry, Ruth, Leonard, Brown, Walsh, EEers, Tinker, Kling—among many others. The luminaries have done about their share. The Certainties Many of them —or most of them—have had their ups and downs in the big October carnival, but in their prime the two Btar certainties were Christy Mathewson and Chief Bender—the two greatest money pitchers lrf the records of the complete cast. Rare Birds I know you've seen a lot of things within the moving frame; But— Did you ever see a golfer who was strictly on his game>| F. F. K. You, too, perhaps have seen a lot while watching or perusing; But— Just how many strokes Jerry Travers or Chick Evans could award Mrs. Gavin or Mrs Letts in an 18-hole match is a matter of doubt. But there are more than three or seven masculine golfers in this broad common wealth who would esteem it great bliss to finish even with either of these ladies in a golfing round. Speaking of Jess Willard's scarcity of opponents—where are all the "logical candidates in sight" that Benny Leonard can collect from? Benny may sonn become a member, also, of the Too-Good Club. LEONARD KNOCKS OUT PHIL BLOOM; SHORT BATTLE Pittsburgh, Sept. 15.—Benny Leon ard, of New York, lightweight cham pion. knocked out Phil Bloom, of Brooklyn, In the second round of what was to have been a ten-round bout at Forbes Field last night. The ch'ampion never let up on his man from the tap of the bell and In the flrst round he shot several hard lefts to the face and neck that soon had Bloom wavering. After one minute of fighting Leon ard put a stiff left to Bloom's nose and knocked him down, where he lay while tb# referee counted nine. and grabbed hold of Lieonard until the bell rang. Knock* Leonard Don n The Brooklyn man came in slightly refreshed for the second round and managed to get In several light taps to Leonard s face and as the latter slipped to the floor of the ring Bloom got in a blow to the head that put Leonard down, but he was up In a second and after Bloom with a de termination to end the battle right there. He rained blow after blow on his opponent's face until he crossed over a hard right o the Jaw that knocked Bloom cold for several min ute* HAURISBURG gTßggitf TELEGRAPH GODCHARLES IS PRIZE WINNER Leads in Shootoff at Atlantic City; Other Local Scores Fred A.

Beauchamp, Delaware state champion, topped this squad. The Westy Hogans at their an nual meeting yesterday voted unani mously to return to Atlantic City next year. An effort was made to secure accommodations along the beach front or on a pier, and there may possibly be a shooting ground established here by the leaders In he sport.

Anna Booser and Mary Herman; Oliver Sechrist, Mc- Clellan Koomes, Paul Towsen, Milton [ Harper, Earle Albright COUNTY QUIET ON EVE OF PRIMARY Most of Republican Candi dates Will Win Places Without Opposition The last Saturday before the Fall primaries, which will be held next Wednesday, passed quietly. There was little stirring throughout the county, although city candidates were In evidence everywhere. Indications are so strong for a big Republican ivctory in November that the Demo crats are putting up very little flgh for county offices and in most cases the Republican nominations will be made without contest. For example, there Is no question about the nomi nation of Charles E. Pass for pro thonotary or the renomlnatlon of Henry W. Gough, as county con troller. Mr. Pass, as poor director, made a good record years ago. He is well known from his former long employment with the Foundry and Machine Works, which took him to all parts of the county. He is also prominent as a public speaker. Mr. Gough has been county controller ever since he place was created, hav ing been advanced from the city con trollerslilp which he had held for years on account of his ability as an accountant. The nomination of J. D. Pannell, by the Democrats, and Thomas W. Harper, by the Socialists, for pro thonotary, are without opposition, but neither party Is strong enough to make them serious obstacles to Republican success. William F. Bur goon, veteran of many campaigns, is to the Democratic nomination for controller and to John S. Dor wart goes the empty honor of the Socialist nomination for that of fice. The contest for the coronorshtp In the Republican ranks is brisker in the city than in the county, where friends of Jacob Ecklnger are pre dicting a walk-awtiy for him. Alder man Hilton is his opponent and it is said has been confining his ac tivities largely to certain parts of the city. The school board contest promises to be lively, wifß \V. P. Shreadley well up toward the front on the Re publican side, and Edward Moeslein apparently far ahead of most of his opponents on the Democratic side. George A. Herring, Democratic can didate, is also counting upon an un opposed nomination on the Social ist ticket. l&CLQtk< SCORES OF YESTERDAY National League New York, 6; Boston, 0.
