Duffy Lewis' Triple Beats Out All Stars; Big Benefit Contest Boston, Sept. 28. —The Boston Americans yesterday defeated by the score of 2 to 0 an all-star team, re cruited from leading players of the American League, with Maranvllle, of the Boston Nationals, at shortstop. The entire proceeds went to the fam ily of the late T. H. Murnane, who, until his death last winter, was one of the most p.-ominent American baseball writers. The receipts were well over $14,000. With two out in the eighth Inning, Manager Barry, of Boston, singled to left oft the delivery of Walter John son, of Washington. Hoblitzel singled over second and both men scored on Lewis' triple to right center. Cobb, of Detroit; Speaker, of Cleveland, and Jackson, of the Champion Chicago Americans, play ed the outfield lor the all-stars, anil contributed sensational plays. Mc- Innis, of the Atnletics, was at first; Chapman, the ' .'leveland shortstop, at second, and Weaver, of Chicago, at third. Before the g sme some of base bail's greatest stars competed in the field events. StcNally, of Boston, won the bunt-and-run-to-first event: Joe Jackson, of the White Sox, made the longest throw; Dutch Leonard, of the Red Sox, thfi most accurate one, while Chapman, of Cleveland, show ed the way to the base circles. TWELVE BATTLES TO DATE SHOW AMERICANS LEADING; WORLD'S SERIES RECORDS New York, Sept 28. —In the long history of World Series play for the championship of the baseball uni verse it is doubtful if any previous contest of this character aroused the widespread Interest which has been engendered by the coming clash be tween the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals. Although World Series play is not new to eith er of the cities represented by clubs In the finale of the professional base ball year, it will be the first time that New York and Chicago clubs have met for the premier honors of the diamond. This is all the more remarkable when it is considered that the World Series dates back to 1884 and has continued- In one form or another and with but few breaks for more than thirty years. The ensuing series will be the twenty-sixth since the Providence Club of the National League faced the Metropolitan team of the American Association in the Initial contest back In 1884 and emerged victor in three straight games. It will also be the thirteenth played under the code and Jurisdic tion of the National Commission which in 1905 arranged for an an nual meeting between the pennant winning clubs of the two major leagues. * Twelve Scries Of the twelve series staged under these rules the American League teams have won seven and the Na tional League clubs five. Sixty-six games have been played, of which the Americans have won 33 and the Nationals 31, with two resulting in tie contests. But one run divided the records of the two leagues In this respect as during these 66 games the National League players have crossed the plate 22 3 times to their rivals 222. Another interesting- feature of the meeting of the Chicago and New York Clubs is the fact that both may be said to hold charter membership in their respective organizations. The New York team entered the senior baseball circuit on formation in 1876 and finished sixth that season. At the close of the schedule play the com bination dropped out and did not RESULTS OF WORD' Games Year Winners Won 1884 Providence (N. L.) ... 3 1885 Chicago (N. L.) 3 1886 St. Louis (A.

M. C. A. will be staged at Philadelphia to-morrow between the Trenton team, winners in the Eastern di vision, and Pitcairn, representing the wild and woolly section west of the majestic Alleghenies. If this meet ing was for the premier title of the world instead of the realms of rail road baseball, the interest could not be greater among the followers of the teams. The battle for the final honors this year has been tighter in every way than has ever been the case before, and should have been settled at least a week ago Instead of having run on as it has. It was bad enough in the East, but out in the wilds matters were even worse, with each team batting the others all over the map at intervals. The scrap there finally resolved itself into a fight between AltoOna, Williamsport and Pitcairn. Many Battles For about three weeks this trii THE seasons smartest style.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH return until 1883, from which date Its connection with the National League has been continuous. The Chicago White Sox played a prom inent part in the forming of the American League in 1900 and has also held continuous membership in the Junior league since that year. Four Times Winner During this period of eighteen years the White Sox have won four pennants, capturing iiags in 1900, 1901, 1906 and 1917. The club has figured in but one World Series, however, meeting and defeating the Chicago Nationals by four games to two in 1906. The New York Na tionals have a more extensive record in this respect owing to longer con nection with the senior league. Since 1876 the club has won seven league championships and three World Series, and its average position for 36 seasons is four and a very small fraction. Chicago's showing in this department of the records is even better, the White Sox having gained the high average of 3.4 over a stretch of 18 years. Pennants rewarded the work of the New York club players in 1888, 1889, 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912, 1913 and again this season. In 1888 the Giants defeated the St. Louis Amer ican Association team in the World Series of those days, ten games to four, and the following season won from Brooklyn of the same circuit six games to three. In 1905 they de feated the Philadelphia Americans four games to one, having refused to meet the Boston Americans the pre vious year. The Philadelphia Ath letics secured revenge when the teams met in 1911, winning four games to two. Boston Red Sox maintained the American League record by defeating the Giants four games out of seven in 1912, and the next season Philadelphia repeated at the New York club's expense, win ning four games to one. Complete liecord The complete record of the World Series results since 1884 and the po sition of the New York and Chicago clubs at the end of each league sea son from 1886 and 1900, respective ly, follows: S SERIES TO DATE Games Losers Won Metropolitan (A.

There were some hard-fought games among the western teams until last Thursday, when a final decision was reached among the three by the elimination of WiMliamsport. For the first time in several years Altoona succeeded in defeating the Williams port nine by 5 to 3. after they had played a twelve-inning tie. This finished Williamsport, but things were evened up again by Pit cairn defeating Altoona by 7 to 3, so that these latter two fought It out this week. The winner will meet the Jersey Tigers for the system championship. The second game in this championship series will be played in Trenton on October 6, while the field for the third game has not been decided upon yet.

Carmel Saturday GEORGE GORDON HOLLOND' George Gordon Hollond, the re cently elected manager of the Tech High football squad, will get his first taste of real work Saturday when the local eleven lines up against the Mount Carmel team. Hollond is a member of section T, senior class, and one of the most popular students at the institution. He was captain of the scrub bas ketball quintet last season, a baseball player and one of the literary editors on the Tech Tatler staff. Former Lender in Army Hollond succeeds T. Willis Patter son, who enlisted in the quarter master corps of the army. The schedule this year is one of the best in the history of the Maroon insti tution. The most important games are with Greensburg, Steelton and Central. Injuries in scrimmage to a number of players may somewhat weaken the line-up for the opening fray, but with the large number of candidates the gaps will be filled with good players. 1 ©JltflUtUvOtj !

Coach Price had another three-hour ses sion with the Ambulance Corps foot ball squad on Muhlenberg Field yes terday, when every form of exercise was given the players to get them in to condition for the opening game with Penn-State to-morrow. From all indications this will be the big i gest gridiron event that has ever been held in Allentown. While the candidates for the eleven were at work in the Held car penters were busy increasing the ca pacity of the bleachers and grand stand to 7,000, and if the weather is fair, it is believed the crowd will number 10,000. The city is at fever heat, because all the soldiers of the camp want to see the contest and they have friends in and out of the city who want to witness the game. A thousand dollars has been ap portioned, by vote of the board of officers of the camp, from the post exchange fund for the equipment of the team, which will have striking blue uniforms. Some of the equipment is slow in coming, and probably for lack of pads the first accident occurred yes terday, when Boehl, a fast end from the University of Tennessee, suffered a dislocated shouldqr. The disloca tion was quickly reduced by tho camp surgeons, , THREE GAMES ON OPENING DAY College Football Lid Off To morrow; Important Con tests in East College football is destined to blos som forth with all its interest to the gridiron enthusiast to-morrow, when a number of the Eastern teams will line up for the first scheduled games of the 1917 season. At least three contests are of sufficient inter est to attract attention of the foot ball world, since their outcome will indicate the quality which may be expected of the elevens this year. Foremost in importance will be the Pittsburgh-West Virginia game, to be played at West Virginia; the Wash ington and Jefferson contest with the Kiski School team—the latter per haps the best scholastic eleven in the State—and the Ursinus Rutgers strug gle at New Brunswick. Penn State meets the soldiers at Allentown. Pittsburgh, with Glenn Warner at the helm, may have a hard battle with Weist Virginia, for the moun taineers are said to have a veteran team, with the kind of mature de velopment which only the smaller col lege aggregations can acquire so early in the season. Pittsburgh, is, of course, an enigma. The great team which Warner had gathered last year Is widely scattered, and few of the 'varsity men are gain eligible for the eleven. But from, the scrubs and the Pitt second string squad "of a year ago Warner is said to have de veloped a remarkable combination. Forty I'liijotm Out Forty of the Pitt players have been practicing at the preliminary train ing camp for a number of weeks— certainly for a longer period than any other Eastern team —so that a smooth-working, powerful combina tion can be expected. Pitt will have Hastings, DeHart. Morrow or Peck, the big men of the eleven last sea son, but the uncanny ability of Coach Warner Is bound to show itself in the new product. Penn's coaches will watch the result of the game between Pitts and West Virginia very closely, and thereafter the Red and Blue may be vastly more concerned with the Pitt game on Franklin Field than is at present the case. Washington and Jefferson, the most successful of the small college teams in the past five years, with victories over the biggest and best teams in in the country, looms up once more as a formidable opponent of her scheduled rivals. W. and J. Is as sured a forward line which averages from tackle to tackle more than 200 pounds—a fact that gives her school boy opponents little hope In the first game scheduled for next Saturday. HutirerN nnil trxlnim Rutgers and Ursinus will meet in their annual contest, and though Rut gers is the likely winner, the little Collegeville aggregation may spring just such a surprise as It did against Penn on Franklin Field in the first game of the season some years ago. Both teams have little veteran ma terial, and the outcome of the contest, like most of the early games of the season, will be largely a matter of speculation. Penn, Michigan, Dartmouth and the bigger university elevens will not open the season until next week, in fact official practice at most of the big colleges has not yet begun. Penn takes on Albright for the first local game on Franklin Field Wednesday, October 3, and Penn State, Lehigh, Lafayette and the rest of the Penn sylvania state teams will follow on the heels of the Red and Blue in the Inauguration of the coming gridiron season.
