The only run of the game was scored by Murphy on his single Davis’ sacrifice and Barry’s single. Gardener of New York was hit on the back of the head by a ball pitched by Morgan in the fifth inning, and rendered unconsci- ous. It was more than an hour be- fore he recovered sufficiently to be taken to his hotel. Philadelphia s+ 8 2 New York .0 5 0 Morgan and Livingston; Quinn -and Williams.

Boston sports are laying 10 to 8 that the Athletics will capture the series for the world's championship. It is said that Orvic Overall who has been pitching for the Stockton, Calif., team this summer, will return {~~~~~ to the Cubs next season. “Big Ed.” Walsh, of the White Sox, picks the Athletics to cop the big series. Ed. says that Jack Barry at short is the answer. Arthur Irwin will be elected vice president of the New York High-{ landers, and llal Chase will manage the team again next season. Too bad Bill Dahlen didn’t get his Brooklyn team working right earlier in the season. The Suporbas played great ball during the last western trip. Prough, Sevoreid, Covaloskie, Marsans, Almeida and Balonti are a bunch of names that have Cincinnati fans “up in the air” trying to pro- nounce them. Pitcher “Stoney”” McG]ynn’ of the Milwaukee team, is still the “Stone Man” of old. Twice within two weeks “Stony’ pitched a double- header and won all four games. “Honus” Wagnor, Bobby Byrne rangements for an auto trip through Europe. Bobby will be “in dutch” in Germany, but when the trio hits dIreland he will surely show his Ger- man pals. “The mid-season training stunt of the Pirate’s—a two days’ rest at West Baden—may be all right, but remem- ber what happened to the Philles after Fogel took them to Atlantio Ciy? & Manager John McGraw of New York Giants S8ays Managers Ruin Young Hurlers by Changing.

COPROOLOH OO G Football Notes. ® O R R A R R RO RO IR R CRROROROY Seven men on the Cornell team this season are veterans. The Minnesota team doesn’t show up as strong as last year. Joe Beacham, the old Cornell cap- tain, is now the head coach at West Point. It is said that the Princeton Tig- ers will run many of their plays from direct pass from center. Glenn Warner has 57 men in his Isquad or, Carlisle Indians but they !are a little shy on weight. The Williams squad is doing fine iwork under coach Fred Daly, who |last year was captain at Yale. | There will be approximagely 43,- 000 seats in the Harvard stadium for the Yale game, November 25. M. H. Horr, the former Syracuse football star and hammer thrower, is coaching the Purdue University | squad. “Hurry Up” Yost is said to be building a better team this fall at Michigan than he has had for sev- eral seasons. } There are six candidates for quarterback on the Chicago varsity eleven and the best man weighs only 130 pounds. The University of Pittsburgh eleven have hopes of a game with Pennsylvania if the latter cancels the date with Michigan. Surles, Hicks and Weir are the only men on the 1910 team at West {Point who will be missed from the Army lineup this season. Ralph Sherwin, who played tackle and end on the Dartmouth varsity eleven for four years, is coaching the University of Kansas team this fall. ‘@@@@‘@@*"*"@@@@@@ @ With the Boxers, 4 POOOPPPPPROOOO®O®O Young Corbett has been given a license to referee bouts by the box- ing commission in New York. | The promoters of the Johnson- Wells bout are sore and threaten to put the rollers under the game in London.

John McGraw is slow to change & pitcher who happens to be hit for the reason that he wants the pitcher to have every opportunity to help him-| self out of the trouble into which he has fallen. When he notes that a pitcher is not himself he is likely to change in a burry, whether he is an old or a young player.

Tenney’s promotion to the vice-presi- dency probably means that he .will look after the business interests of ; the club next year and Johnny Kling, the former Cub, who many think is now managing the club, will be se- lected as leader.

In the re- cent Highlander-Nap series in the For- est City Joey made nine hits in twelve times at bat, an average of .750.

I wouldn’t intentional- | ly hurt another player for twice my | salary, and yet, whenever somebody ' bumps up against these spikes uti mine, they all say 1 do it intention- ally, and discuss which would be the! better way—to eliminate the spike or | to eliminate T. Raymond Cobb. “Let's have a little understanding about this thing and, also, let's 80 back into baseball history a little way. Long ago there were players, some of them much slower and heavier than myself, so [ am told by veterans who knew them, players who, despite this bulk and slowness, stole more bases to the season than I do nowadays. 1 find from the old guides that there were dozens of men who made good baserunning records, say from thirty to seventy a season, and that mis‘| wasn't_considered at all remarkable. And Vet 1 Yail {o find in the old news- papers mentlon of many collisions, of, many cases where basemen Were spiked by the sliding runners. ! “What dogs all that mean? Simply this: that in those days everybody'| recognized the right of the base rum- ner to a clear field and a fair chance to steal the next cushion if he had the ! speed and skill. Nowadays the in-| flelders think that the way to stop a runner is to use football tactics; to step way over on the side of the base nearest to the approaching stealer and block him off from reaching the bag. ! They recelve you on their shins or ! feet, they strive to check your slide | 8o that it will be a physical impos; sibility for you to arrive at the base, | and then they bring down the ball for the putout. | “It's worst of all at the home plate, ' for there the armored catcher, with a big body protector anrd shinguards, meets you as you come in and squats on you or on the base path, so that you can’t butt through or squirm past his huge bulk. As a result of these tactics nobody dares to slide head-, first nowadays. Duff and* McCarthy, who were great base runners in the olden times, have told me that in their day the acme of perfection was the head-first slide, twisting the body to one side and reaching out a hand to touch the base. The man who tried | that now would get his hand spiked or his neck broken. “Now, under all baseball law and the logic of common sense, the base runner has a right to try for his base with a clear field and no football | blocking. 1 believe that, and I insist | upon it. Furthermore, I don’t want to; play hog. Half that base is mine, and | I claim that half whenever | go after it. ! “I don’t slide past the bag, nor even [——z Look F 118 THIRD 8T. imark for the practical joker,” ARKET DAY PRIGES FOR MARKET DAY For this day only we will give a spec- 1al discount on Watches and Clocks 50 CENT FREE COUPON THE WATCH FOR MEN GEO.

MANUFACTURING JEWELERS ‘hé 'belongs, on the balf-base that is his, or.on. the farther side, ke won’t get spiked, and he has a fair, even chance, if he is active with his hands, to touch me out. That’s square enough, isn’t 1t? “If the baseman deliberately comes over the base, standing in the road so that I have no chance to slide in ex- cept by violent contact with him, whose fault is it if he gets the spikes? Think it all over and then decide; am 1 a brute, a butcher or a reformer? I think that I'm a real reformer, cor- recting abuses and trying to bring back certain phases of the game to their condition in the earlier days.” “POP” ANSON WAS EASY MARK Captain Refused to Play Game With Louisville on Receipt of Fake Telegram Signed “Hart.” “Pop Anson was always an easy said Walter Wilmot in a fanning bee the other day. “One time the old White Stockings were playing at Louisville. A firm in that city was making a ball known as the Bateman. The play- ers didn't like the ball—which the Louisville club was then using—be- cause it would get soft so quickly. So on the morning of the third day Jim- my Ryan took a sending blank and in his own handwriting fixed up the al- leged telegram from Chicago address- ed to Anson: “‘Don’t play today if Bateman ball is used.’ i “This fake mesage was signed ‘Jim Hart,’ and Anson took it as an order from his boss that had to be obeyed. He did refuse to play and there was \ big rumpus. “When we got back to Chicago Mr. i Hart met us at the station. “‘Why didn't you play Tuesday? he demanded. “‘Because they wanted to use the Bateman ball,’ said Anson. **‘What has the Bateman ball got to do with 1t?” howled Hart. “‘Why, 1 simply obeyed your tele- gram,’ said Anson meekly. “‘I sent you no telegram,” shouted Hart, now in a rage. “Anson fished out the fake message and flashed it in Hart's face. “‘And you fell for that, did you? sneered Hart. ‘Why, didn’t you know our club will be fined $500 for not playing that game? And so it was. Anson hunted high and low for the man who wrote him that message, but I don’t think he knows to this day it was old Jimmy Ryan.” When Merkle of the Giants failed to touch segond in 1908 he asked Mc- Graw to cut his cable. McGraw re- fused and hasn’t regretted it this sea- son. Hildebrand, the Great Falls (Mont.) pitcher drafted by the Reds, is hayv- ing his first season in professional ball, and he made his entry by pitch- ing a no-hit game for the Great Falls team.
