WORLD'S SERIES UMPIRES
Fee Given to Arbitrators in Champion
ship Games Doubled in Last
Five Years
One thousand dollars for one week's
work is what the assignment to adju
dicate in the world's series means to
four umpires. The system of having
to call balls and strikes only otico in
every four games makes lhe work even
lighter than it was a few years back,
and the pay has been doubled in the
last five years. It is hard to imagine
more of a sinecure than standing at the
end of a foul line and judging balls
batted near lhe line.
Neither league has any regular or
der for assigning the umpires for the
world's series. An umpire is likely to
be called upon for four successive series,
as has happened to Bill Klein, or he
may never get the coveted assignment.
Bob Knislie, who has been in the Na
!ional .league for the last -4 seasons,
nas as yet to make his first decision in
i world's series, and the same goes for
Mai Eason, who has been calling balls
Hid strikes in the senior organization
for the last seven seasons.
lu the American League the work
has been divided up better among the
veteran umpires. Chill is the only of
ficial in Ban Johnson's organization who
has 'lot figured In the autumn melon
and he ranks as a newcomer. Connolly.
O 'Loughlin, Kvans, Din ecu and Kgan
have all drawn assignments for this
work.
Following is a record of the world's
series umpiring by officials who are still
in the two major leagues: Conuolly,
1903, 1 90S, 1910, 1911, 1913; Kleni',
1908, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914;
O'Loaghliu. 190G, 1909. 1912; Rigler,
1910, 1912, 1913; Dincen, 1911. 1914;
Kvans, 1909, 1912; Kgan, 3.913; Hil
'cbrnud.-19 14; Byron, 1911.
For "several years SSOO was the sum
paid to the umpires who worked in the
world's series and in the four scries
between the National and American
League pennant winners between 1903
and 1907. inclusive, only two umpires
were assigned to each scries. In 190S
four umpires were name 1 for the series
between the Cubs and Tigers, and this
number has been continued since that
lime. The remuneration was raised from
SSOO to $750 some years back, and at
the close of the 1912 series between
the Sox and the Giants, the pay was
i'ised to SI,OOO per umpire. In this
series Kleni ami iliglcr were the Na
tional League umpires, while Kvans
ami O'Luughliu represented the Amer
ican League. They went through the
eight games with liardh a murmur
against a decision.

UNIQUE FOOTBALL CAME
FOR CHARITY IS PLANNED
Carlisle Indians Will Play a Team
Composed of Former Stars at Fen- j
way Park, Boston, on November
28
i Boston, Nov. 19. —An interesting,
i wind-up to the football season in Bos-|
| ton will be the game to be played at.
i Fenway Park, on Saturday afternoon,
' November 28, when the Carlisle lu
• dian football eleven will be. opposed
> by an all-star team composed of form
I er players from the leading Eastern
j universities. The game will be for i>har ,
i ity, the proceeds going to the Ohi 1-:
r drcn's Island Sanitarium, with a small
j er percentage to the American Red j
| Cross. t
| This contest was arranged last |
: spriug. when contracts were signed by
I Glenn Warner, the Carlisle football di'|
! rector and President Lannin, of the
1 Boston American League Club. War at
j that time had been thought of and
j when the proposition was made that,
■ the Red Cross share equally it was
found impossible on account of the
contracts already signed. The' v latter,
however, will receive a percentage.
As a football game the coming con
i test should prove of more than ordi-
I nary interest. The Indians are always
! popular in New England and formerly'
attracted thousands when they played
j against Harvard. The last Saturday in
the month they will face many Har
vard players whom they have met on
the gridiron in the past.
| For the All-IStars, Hamilton Fish
| will act as captain and the former Har-
I vard leader will get into the game at
! his old position of tackle. The players
j from the New York district will be
j coached bv Fish, and the finishing
j touches will be put on at his country
: home at Garrison, on the Hudson. The
j players about Boston will be coached !
lin the same formations and with the j
same signals by Harry Gardner, the]
! Harvard quarterback of last year's
! team. A week before the game the full
j squad will get together and the best
I men will be selected to start the game
| against the Indians. The players will
! be taken iu hand by Percy Haughton
after the Harvard-Yale game for their
i final polishing.
Some of the most noted , football
players of the East will get into the
j game, and the old-timers are very
anxious to resume gridiron activity. So
i many have volunteered that it is likely j
that practically a new eleven will play
in each period for the All-Stars. Tn
i addition to Fish an * Gardner, Ted Coy.
I the great Yale captain of 1910, will
be in the line-up, with "llobcy" Bak
er, of Princeton, and "Tol" Pendle
: ton, captain of the Tigers in 1912.
and Philbin, of Vale. Dartmouth will
be represented among others by S'her
! win, and Williams by Wadsworth. the
former quarterback. Other New Eng
land colleges also are expected to be
represented iu the final make-up of the
i eleven. Harvard, naturally, will have
the larger representation, and in addi
-1 tion to those named there will be Pat
[ Grant, one of the first of the roving
j centers; Minot, the great plunging
j back; Percy and ,I«ek Wendell; Vic
\ Kennard, whose, drop kick defeated
' Yale at New Haven in 1908; Crawford
I Blagden, the Crimson tackle of more
I than a decade ago; Huntington, Hitch
j cock, Wigglesworth, Parkinson, Dick
I Lawrence and the Withington broth-
I crs, Paul and Lothrop, both captains
I in their senior years at Harvard.
As Harvard's varsity will have
played its last game of' the season,
j many of this year's te.ini will be avail
able for the All-Stars, which should.
; therefore, be a formidable .organiza
tion physically and in the knowledge
j of fundamental football. While team
! play will be impossible to obtain in
| the short time available for the play
ers to lie together, the eleven should
be able to give the Indians a great hat
i tie. Open play probably will bo the
feature of the contest, as this is the
style at which the Redskins are at
! their best.

! OXY-ACETYLENE CUTTING
i Oi;e of the Scientific Wonders Exhibited
at Chestnut Street
Auditorium
While in this country recently a rep
resentative of the Belgian government
remarked that he was amazed at our
waste which, without doubt, is so great
that it would tal;e care of all his voun
try's wants.
About ten years ago the process of
Oxy-Acetylene cutting and welding was
introduced into this country lor the wit
ting of wrought iron and steel and weld
ing nil kinds of metals. To-da.v this pro
cess is being UB«V1 very extensively in
all large steel plants," railroad stoops,
ship building yards, structural plants,
boiler shops, steel foundries, in fact all
plants engaged in the manufacture of
metals and others who have any amount
of repairs to make.
Oxy-Acetvlene welding is saving
thousands of dollars annually solely in
repairs to broken parts of machinery
which in the past were Hold as scrap.
Railroad shops are establishing reclama
tion plants -where they repair many
parts which formerly were scrapped.
[ The I'risco lines have established an up
to-date reclamation plant at one of their
shops and in six months showed ail
average saving of six thousand dollars
1 per month with their Oxv-Acetylene cut
ting and welding outfit. A 'big steel com
■ pany by using the Oxy-Acetylene pro
-1 cess in repairing twenty-five boilers
saved $-0,000 over the old method and
eaich 'boiler was out of commission only
three d«vs against three month's by the
old method. The 'big steel bridge which
collapsed during construction at Cjuelbec
1 cut into charging box size ami returned
to this country as scrap. It was the
Oxy-Acetylene cutting 'blow pipe that
' made it possible to remove Hie 'battle
ship Maine from Havana harbor, it
would have been impossible to remove
1 the Maine in any other way.
1 The Pennsylvania railroad has an
! Oxv-Acetylene cutting outfit on all their
| wreck trans for cutting away steel
' wreckage.
