NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD I MACK'S RECEIVERS HAVE 't SEEN SERVICE IN SERIES! Athletics Have the Jump*on tie Braves £ Behind the Bat—ln All Likelihood On!v Four Catchers Will Be TJt-cd ' In World's Championship Games By .Assoooted *" New Vork. Oct. 7 ln all likelihood \ only four men "11 bo called upon to ; work at the receiving «*i»lis of tho bat s terics during the coming World s * ham t p ionship levies between the Phuade. j phia Athletics and Boston Nationals. Ba.-h club will undoubtedly depend , upon tho two catchers who have givo.i | such a good account of themselves all , through the playing season. Thev will , take an important part in the struggle for as soon as a cat her dons tite mitt t ami .mask of lis calling in a contest he assumes an immense amount of re sponsibilitv. In fact there is no tell ( hig how many of the games are direct ed from behind the plate. In addition | to exchanging signals with the pitcher as to the weakness or strength of the | batters, he has to be a quick thinker. . keen sighted, always alert and invan sbly accurate in throwing to head oft the base pilferers. , In this department Connie Mack is probabl* the more fortunate in having Lapp rnnd Soliang, both of whom have had previous experience in W or>d s, Championship games. I.app pla> ed in the 1910. 1311 and 1913 games, each time on the winning side and this will l>e the fourth time his services will be needed for the retention of the ting in Philadelphia. Although only thirty years old. l*app has hail a lot of export om e during the nine years he has been dor.: i Bc,l with professional baseball, f Re stands five fort ton and oue-hal.

His experience in major league baseball dates back .just four years. Ira Thomas » o veteran . atcher. s another on whom Manager Mack cou'd call in case ot accident to either of the two tnon tioned. but he has not been in the game much during the past season and it is not likely that his services will be needed. The Athletics also have a fourth catcher in Mc.Yvoy. late of the Baltimore International League team, but is is not at all probable that he i will be cali«d upon to go behind the bat against the Braves. Manager Stalling* has two very re liable receivers in Gowdy and Whaling, both of whom have been wonderfully successful tiys past, season. Both a, voting men and each has been identi fied with professional baseball for five years. The success of the team, phe nomen&l as it was. in landing the Na tional League pennant, this year, speaks volumes for the work of the bat teries and the catchers naturally are not to be overlooked for the parts they played so well in bringing about the unlooked for victory. Gowdy, who did the lion's share of catching for the Graves during the sea son. stands one inch over six feet and weighs IST pounds. Whaling who is twenty-five years old, just one year old er than Gowdy, also is a six-footer and weighs ISB pounds. SAFETY RAZOR BLADES RESHARPENED G«m Blarfe.s—l c«K! each blade.

Secretary of Navy Daniels and Secre tary of War Garrison at Conference Brings Distressing News of Cancel- Mation of Big Athlotic Event Washington. D. l*., Oct. 7.—Follow ing a conference with Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Secretary of War Garri son late yesterday announced that there will be no Army and Navy foot ball game this year. This news will be a distinct shock to the followers of both teams, as hope had been entertained that the game would be played. There has been much' wrangling, so much so that the officials •'higher up" announced some time ago that play would not be a feature of the 1 *>l4 football season if the two fac tions could not agree. Marly yesterday morning a confer ence of the officials was held and it was announced that at a conference later in the day tho matter would be settled. The conference ended later and brought the distressing news that the game would be abandoned until the | service officials could come to some ! definite agreement as to the place and •other details. Philadelphia was in line for the game this \ ear, and other cities were also eager to stage the affair. ; The game is "off" owing to the i fact that the navy has finally aud do cisivcly refused to accept the 10-year agreement which was the army's ulti matum. Secretary Daniels aud Garrison believe that the 10-year agreement, pro viding for games alternately in New- York and Philadelphia, furnished the best solution of the difficulty. Sec re ; tary of the Xaw Daniels strongly ! urged the Navy Athletic Council to accept it. The latter, however, de clined through its representative. Lea tenant Fairfield, who came t>. .Washii.g ton yesterday with the navy's ultima turn. Many officer? insist there is yet hope that the game will be played, but both Secretaries Garrison and Daniels say' they are displeased with the stubborn spir.t shown by both sides, and declare there « not the smallest possibility of a game now. BRAVES ARE CONFIDENT Stagings Says Deal Will Fill Smith's Place Satisfactorily New York. Oct. 7.—Manager Stal lings and Captain F.\ *rs. questioned last night as to what effect tho loss of Smith would have on the work of the Braves in the championship series, both declared his absence, would not be a serious handicap to the team's effect • ivoness as Deal could fill the place sat isfactorily.

BRAVES WATCH ATHLETICS 1 IN FINAL m [OF SEASON Boston Nationals in Philadelphia Pre paring for tie World's Champion ship Games—Bender L.kcly to Op pose James in Opener AtSOCtdcVd Pit's*. Philadelphia, Oct. 7.—The Boston j 1 Braves, champions of the National ! League, are in this city preparing for the opening of the world's series here i on Friday when they meet the Phila delphia Athletics winners of the Amor ican League race. The Bostonians, who j 1 ended their National league schedule in Brooklyn yesterday, planned a light i practice this morning on the National League grounds while the presentj( world's champions expect to work outit at Shibe Park where t,lie first two games j of the series will be staged. The Na j tional league players will all get an eye on their opponents when they view the contest between the Athletics and New York in the farewell game of the j j American League schedule here to-day. Neither of the opposing managers, has indicated who will bo his pitching j 1 selection for the opening game but the j ' majority of the critics believe that i ' Bonder, the veteran Indian twirler. j will lie Connie Mack's selection and j , that he w ill bo opposed by .lames, who they figure is the best find of the Bos ton inoundsmen, to repeat during the I 'short series if necessary. Manager Stalling® says that lie has ' i nt-t vet made up his mind whether 1 ■lames. Tyler. Rudolph or one of the r other Boston pitchers will be given tliO| * i honor of opening tho series. Be de dared last night, however, that Deal will be chosen to fill the berth at third ' base left vacant by the injury of Smith. ! The long line of men who has wait ed for the open .ig of the sale of tick ets at li o'clock to-day presents a sorry spectacle at daybreas.
