G. 0. SARVIS WINS HONORS IN RUTHERFORD GUN CLUB SERIES-GOOD SCORES
THRILLS FEATURE
YORK FAIR TROTS
; Two Bad Spills; Good Purses
Large Number of
Entries
York, Pa., Oct. 8.; —Two thrilling ac
cidents. either of which might easily
have been a tragedy, marked the
opening yesterday of York's sixty
fourth annual fair. Seven horses fig
ured In a smash-up in the first heat
of the 2.25 trot, and as a result
Charles Opdyke, of Bethlehem, Pa
driver of Jane Cochato, is In the York
Hospital with a fractured left arm
and possibly internally injured.
The other thrill was contributed
when an immense hot-air balloon,
■which was being tilled for an ascen
sion with parachute drops, broke
from the grasp of the hundred or
more boys holding it. Several lads,
tangled in the rigging, were borne
aloft from five to twenty feet before
they were able to tear themselves
, free. Without ,any performer, the
runaway balloon made a lofty (light
and descent.
The spill in the 2.25 trot resulted
when Main Fern, a Freehold, N. J..
entry, stepped on a boot and tripped.
Blx other sulkies piled into a heap.
All of the drivers were unseated, the
horses with their riderless sulkies
continuing about the track. Though
Jane Cochato trotted about three
miles before she was caught, and was
set back to twelfth place, she con
tinued in the race and won it by
taking the riext three heats.

ISCALPERSPLAN
FOR BIG SALES
Chicago Officials to Co-oper
ate With Police Depart
ment to Prevent It
Chicago, Oct. 3. —With the arrival
of the first out-of-town contingent
for the world's series the prices of
tickets for the three Chicago games
were sent skyward by scalpers, who
insist they will be able to supply pur
chasers who failed to get seats
through the regular channels.
Although tKe reserved seat tickets
and the box seats will not be dis
tributed to purchasers until Thursday
scalpers are accepting deposits on
orders and are asking SSO for a $5
box seat for three games and $35 for
stand seats which sold for $1.50 each.
\A hat system the speculators are us
ing In their attempts to obtain tickets
is puzzling officials of the Chicago
Americans, as all tickets are regis
tered and numbered, and the appli
cants will be obliged to call person
ally for their allotment. A Chicagoan
who balked at the prices demanded
by scalpers inserted an advertise
ment in a. newspaper yesterday, of
fering S2O for two grandstand seats
for the first two games.
Hot After Scalpers
Samuel A. Ettelson, corporation
counsel. Joined the fight with Presi
dent Comiskey, of the Chicago club,
against scalping. Ettelson will con
fer with Chief of Police Schuettler
for the purpose of enlisting the aid
of the police.
"We are going after the scalpers
hard," Ettelson said. "There will be
complete co-operation between the
city and the management of the
series."
Purchasers of the 18.000 bleacher
and pavilion seats, which will be
placed on sale Saturday, will be
obliged to pass through a long wire
cage entering the park immediately
after buying tickets. There will be
no turning back. The reason for this
is to prevent purchasers from getting
tickets and then mingling in the
crowds to resell them.
Formal warning has been issued of
the existence of a plot to counterfeit
tickets for use by the scalpers and
that steps have been taken to mark
the original pasteboards, so they may
be identified.

GRANT NONSUIT
IN OLD CASE
Court Refuses Plea to Amend
Damage Case; Father and
Daughter Win
Btcause suit had been brought in
1915 against the Middletjwn Car
Works, which disorganized in 1903,
instead of against the Middletown
Cav Horanany, Judge McCprrcll, in
courtroom No. 2 to-day granted a
nonsuit in the damage action
brought by William Noel.
Noel asked for damages from the
car works, alleging he suffered in
juries on September 21, 1915, which
resulted in the amputation of a
thumb. Counsel for the defense
brought out the fact that Noel at
that time was working for the car
company and not car works, at the
same time moving for a nonsuit
which the court granted, refusing
the plaintiff's plea to amend the
statement filed when the suit began.
As the law requires that a dam
age suit must be Hied within two
years after an accident occurs it will
be impossible to start a new action
now as the last day for such a move
was September 21, 1917. Fifteen
dayr' time was given to show why
the nonsuit should not become final.
In courtroom No. 1 before Presi
dent Judge Kunkel a jury awarded
Laura Welker SI,OOO and her father
George F. Welker, S3OO, in a suit
against William and Joseph Lcbo
because of an auto accident on the
Lykens road in 1915. The suit
brought by Shickley and Saunders
against Anast Belehas for payment
of a bill for painting was opened
just before adjournment.

STARS IN WORLD'S
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BAS
BY W. 15. HOFFER
WALTER HOLKE
(New York Giants.)
Last August, a towering young
ster rambled into the big top
from the International League.
McGraw immediately put him
into the Giants' line-up at first
base and the scribes and fans
settled back into their seats and
waited.
"We'll see what this bird's
got," they piped. It wasn't long
before they knew. For Holke
began to slam the pitchers hith
er and yon and to gobble up the
hot shot around that first cush
ion like a whirlwind. His tre
mendous reach and 6 feet 2
inches of height saved many an
error on wild throws for the in
fielders and his batting saved
many a game for the pitchers.
And when the dust of the 1916
baseball season had settled, the
record books disclosed a bat
ting mark of .351 for this minor
league recruit.
Had Holke made good? Oh,
boy! Ask ahy Gothamite who
knows a foul tip from an um
pire, from the mayor down to
the Giants' bat boy.
This batting average is doubt
less 'way above Holke's normal
gait. He looks like a good, con
sistent .290 or .300 hitter. This
season he has been hitting about
.280 but will almost certainly
improve next year.
The ballyard scribes call him
the Hawk, for his ability to
snag wild throws and hits in all
directions around that initial
sack. Holke is a beautiful field
er.
He isn't as fast afoot as Chase
was in his prime by a good deal
and he won't ever be able to
beat out bunts the way Daubert
used to, but for all that he's the
best looking first first baseman
who has broken into the majors
in many moons.
Walt was born in St. Louis on
December 25, 1592 and receiv
ed his first real diamond experi
ence ih his home town, playing
with the Trolley League.
In 1912 Peoria signed him and
Holke stole 32 bases and batted
.292. _ He was later shifted to
Davenport, and from there went
to the Western League. Spokane
of the Northwestern League
bought him in 1912 and the fol
lowing year he attracted Mc-
Graw's attention by batting
.315 in 114 games.
Holke was sent to Rochester
for further seasoning and in
1915 and 1916 fairly burned up
the International League with
his great work, fielding sensa
tionally and hitting .282 and
.344, respectively.
This long first baseman is a
turnover hitter, batting equally
well right or left handed. He
has one bad trick at the plate, a
crouch, which McGraw is try
ing to cure him of.
, an< ! ® andil are v ery evenly matched first basemen. They
" ave TV if o u. th ® , sam ® this season and each frequently hits for extra
bases. Holke is a trifle faster but G andil is much more experienced.

RUBAIYAT OF THE WORLD SERIES
I
Wake! For the dope n.ow heaped in massive store
Has put you next —I hope this doesn't bore?
There's nothing left except the game itself—
The minor detail of the final score.
II
Day after day a line of eager clients
Has sought to know which had the greater science;
Whereat I counter boldly with this hunch;
"I rather think the Sox have —or the Giants."

Day after day some poor nut, standing by.
Asks, "Who will win?" Until, with bloodshot eye,
I seek some lonely tavern off the beat
To drown my sorrow In the flowing rye.

When. Zim, the mighty, takes a husky swing
I wonder if he'll tear off See-cot's wing?
Or will he lift a puny pop to third
The while he growls, "That guy ain't got a thing?"
For I've a hunch that Zim will somehow be
The stormy petrel of the jubilee;
He'll either be The-Boy-That-Busts-It-Up
Or else the Goat, without a friendly plea.
VI
Think, in this batter's caravanserai.
Whose portals are eternal fight and play,
* . How Tycobb after Tycobb, with his pomp,
Abode his destined hour and went his way!
"The ball no question makes of eyes dnd noes.
But here or there as strikes the player goes;
And he that toss'd you down Into the field,
He knows about It all—he knows—HE KNOWS!"
ARNOLD C. GANDIL
(Chicago W r hite Sox.)
To paraphrase Raymond
Hitchcock's old song, "Ain't it
funny what a difference just
a few years make?"
On September 2, 1910,
"Chick" Gandil bid the White
Sox a sad farewell. He had been
tried, found wanting in a base
ball sense and was given the or
der of the tin can. After trying
him out in 77 games, he had hit
only .193 and the management,
scribes and populace of the
s Windy City agreed that he
wouldn't do.
And now, seven years later, to
the month, these same Chicago
ballyard ' fanatics are hailing
Gandil as the guy who made the
infield, which made the club,
which copped the old pennant.
Excuse "Chick" for grinning,
fans. He just can't help it. It
took seven years for the point
of the joke to arrive and Gan
dil just has to smile and every
thing.
Gandil, who has had a varied
baseball experience, is a rattling
good natural ball player and
never should have allowed him
self to get out of the major lea
gue after his first trial. He has
been a trifle hard to manage and
his shifting from one club to an
other was probably ' his own
fault. But it looks as if "Chick"
is in the league to stay for a
while now as he is putting every
thing he has into his play and
showing how good a first sacker
he can be.
His diamond start began away
down south in Amarillo, Texas,
where he played semipro ball, in
1906. Shreveport of the Texas
League paid him his first real
money for playing in 1908.
There he had a batting average
of .269 in 116 games. The St.
Louis Browns then acquired him
but turned him bac,k to Shreve
port. "Chick" kicked over the
traces and refused to report and
was then sent to Sacramento.
Here, in 206 games be played a
nice fielding game at first base
and hit .282.
After the White Sox released
him to Montreal, Gandil began
showing his class. He hit over
.300 in 1911 and 1912 and Clark
Griffith bought him for Wash
ington in midseason. After two
great seasons with the Senators,
for whom he hit .305 and .308 in
1912 and 1913, he slumped and
Griffith released him to Cleve
land, who later sold him to Chi
cago.
Gandil is a natural athlete. He
is 6 feet lty inches tall, weighs
190 pounds, and is a long hitter.
He has hit around .275 this sea
son and pjayed a nervy, heady
game at first base, rounding out
the Sox infield nicely.
"Chick" was born in St. Paul,
Minn., January 19, 1889.

Shooters who participate in the
big tournament on Friday will have

There will be inducements for all

retary, has prepared a big program.
The shooting starts at 10.30 in the

ALEXANDER WINS
HIS THIRTIETH;
PHILLIES SPLIT
Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—After losing
the opening tiff to the champion
plants by a 5 to 2 score in three
innings over the prescribed nine
frames, the Phillies yesterday came
back in the afterpiece, which was
farcical in its execution, and won by
8 to 2 in the opening games of the
series.
In the latter affair Alexander
turned in his thirtieth victory of the
season and now needs another year
of thirty or more wins to equal the
mark held by Christy Matliewspn,
who has four seasons of toll to his
credit in which he won thirty or more
games. It was in Alex the chief in
terest of the afternoon concentrated.

ing trouble in holding his football
coaches. Fred Paul Schllchter last
season's athletic coach and one of
the best men that has ever handled
a bunch of Academy athletes, has
been doing his bit for Uncle Sam.
Yesterday Al. Hutchison a southern
star and coach arrived and took up
his work promptly. He had scarcely
completed his first day with the
squad when a call came for him to
report for Army duty. Howard Bing
aman is still in charge.
Charles Comiskey is determined to
beat the ticket scalpers. He may not
succeed in wiping out all the rob
bers, but he is doing his best and
any person who takes chances with
scalpers is likely to be a heavy loser.
Grover Cleveland Alexander won
out yesterday with his thirtieth vic
tory. He has been working hard to
bring this final result about. His
work all season has been of a high
order and his many admirers hope
he will be able to at least equal
the Christy Matthewson records.

the bouts they were much wiser than
the majority of spectators present,
for the Giants did not seem to care a
rap whether they won and the Phils
oppeared to be just as indifferent to
the ultimate result.
Charley Herzog, the Giants' captain,
also appeared in a box score for the
first time since his suspension by
President Hempstead and after play
ing through the first encounter, left
the second fiat after taking part in
three rounds. Herzog was not the
Herzog of old by a long shot, but he
could hardly be expected to jump in
