New York, October 8.—It was generally regarded as a case of “shut vour eves and take your choice” when the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox met this afternoon 1o play the opening game of the 1912 World's Championship Series. Ex- perts who had been figuring on the comparative strength of the two teams since it became apparent weeks ago that they would fight for the title, arrived at the conclusion finally that only two points were left on which to base the selection of a favorite. One point of vantage was allotted to each team. The Giants possessed the confidence gained by participation in last year’s world’s series. The Red Sox were favored because they out-gamed the Giant- killing Athletics through a long, hard season. Aside from these two points, there was theught to be little choice, the two teams generally be- ing regarded as evenly matched. Examination of the two teams through scientific study failed to pro- duce a balance in favor of eijther. The Giants, according to averages, DO d superior hitting, base- running and scoring ability, and the Red Sox, according to averages, were stronger afield, but the differences between the 1wgo was in each stance hardly appreciable. Boston fans, for instance contend, when in- Giant's superiority in batting aver-| age is mentioned, that the Red Sox were up against better pitching than the Giants encountered. A more satisfactory method of comparison was found in a close scrutiny of the play of individual members of the teams, Here again an even break result- ed. Carrigan, of Boston, is usually rated a better backstop than Big Chief Meyers, but Cady, who indi- vidually catches when Smokey Joe Wood works, is not valued as highly. A balance obtains there. Wood and Matty, speed and skill, were thought to be about evenly matched. Collins, though not so brilliant as Marquard, was regarded as more steady and re- liable. Bedient, like Tesreau, a spit- ball pitcher, was thought to be more seasoned if not so flashy as Big Jeff. Merkle and Doyle. at first and sec- ond, were conceeded to be as much better than Stahl and Yerkes, as Wagner and Gardner were reckoned superior to Fletcher and Herzog. The Boston infield as a whole was thought to possess greater defensive strength, being steadier that the Giant four, and the quartet being a more smoothly working machine But the New York infielders possess higher batting averages than their Boston rivals. Again, a toss up. As for outfields, Boston was gen- erally given a preference. Lewis, Speaker and Hooper form one of the “most wonderful fielding trios that has ever played the game, according to all critics. In addition they are a good hitting bunch, Speaker es- pecially Deing a terrific swatter. Opposed to them were to be Murray, Snodgrass and Becker. Red John Murray, at times a sensational field- er and vicious hitter, was not to be (Continued on last page.) CHARLES R.

Fire broke out in the home of Fred Severson in Mill Park about 3:45 Sunday afterncon and burned the building to the ground. The alarm came in to the fire headguar- ters at 3:50. When the firemen ar- rived, the entire uper story was in flames, which were fanned by the high wind then blowing. For a time it looked as though other houses in the row would catch fire also but they were saved by the work of the department. The home of Mrs. Ber- tha Edd was badly scorched on one side. The Severson family was able to get most of its personal property out of the building although several large pieces of furniture were lost. The building was owned by George Anderson. The firemen had trouble in getting water as there are no hy- drants in Mill Park and water was furnished by the Crokston Lumber company. The company was filling its own tank and it took some time to change the connections. INSPECTOR OTTO HERE. E.

GOAL LINE ONCE IN DANGER In a game that was real football at times and at others was not, Be- midji defeated Akeley on the Ake- ley grounds Satgrday by a score of 19 t50. The day was warm for the players although ideal from the point of view of the spectators. Akeley came within three inches of scoring on Bemidji at one time but the team held for four downs and the Akeley boys were unable to get the ball over. The Bemidji team had its work cut out for it from the start and was able tg score only after hard work. 1 Ryan and Lycan, in the Bemidji back field were badly off form until the last quarter when they put their heads down and tore up the opopsing line. Ward was started at left end and played the first half, giving way to Ellison in the second. Ward and Ellison are having a close fight to see which will make the team and both played their best. The game was refereed by the Brainerd coach with the Akeley and Bemidji coaches umpiring the halves. The Akeley coach insisted that the Bemidji tandem play was a violation of the rule which prevents locked interference and penalized Bemidji three times. Coach Carson ruled that the Akeley backs were in mo- tion before the ball was snapped. The games was constantly interrupt- ed while the officials settled their disputes. The high school may play Thief River Falls Saturday although the game has not been definitely ar- range. One week from Saturday the team expects to go to Grand Rapids for a game there.

DROP KICK AND SAFETY SCORE Visiting Captain Steps Back Over Own Goal Line and Touches Ball to Ground on Bad Error. EXCITEMENT AT THE FINISH Husky Aggie Downed With Ball on Gopher Fifteen Yard Line When Final Whistle Was Blown. Minneapolis, Oct. 7.—The Gopher football team found itself Saturday on Northrop field, outplayed the Ames eleven in every one of the four quarters and finally triumphed by a score of 5 to 0. A perfect drop kick by Russell Tol- lefson from the 18 yard line ae- counted for three Minnesota points in the third period. The final two- markers came from a safety made by Captain Hurst of the Aggies when he stepped back in the last quarter, after catching a punt and -touched the ball down behind his own goal. The visiting captain's action came as a surprise to the crowd, but he ex- plained after the game that he thought he had made the catch back of the goal line, and so touched the ball down for what he thought was a touchback. The improvement in the work of the Gophers in every department was one of the most pleasing features of the ‘day to the local rooters. The re- versal of form of the green Minne- sotans in the lest week waz phen- omenal and they battled their oppon- ents on better than even terms throughout. In the last two min- utes of play, the farmers sent a shiv- er of apprehension through the crowd when they opened up with every- thing they possessed and rushed the Gophers off their feet for a time. Trouble started late in that period when Hayward fumbled a punt and the ball was recovered by Ames on Minnesota’s 23-yard line. Straight- away a cheer went up from the hand- ful of Ames rooters. With Minne- sota basking in the sunshine of a bare 5-point lead and the final whis- tle expected momentarily, the situa- tion was intense with posibilities. Captain Hurst decided to win the game or die in the attempt. Lining his men up in a flash he called for a forward pass, but the excitement of the moment filled the players with -nervousness and the attempt failed. Right back, he came with another forward pass. The second was per- fect and an Ames man was downed on the 15-yard line with the ball in his possession . The teams lined up again and then—the whistle blew and its shrill note was the dirge to whose accompaniment Ames’ hopes were interred. - To all intents and purposes the day was perfect for football, if the feelings of the spectators are consid- ered. From the standpoint of the players it was a killer. Perhaps nev- er before in the history of Minneso- ta football has a game been played under such a blistering sun. The game dragged interminably and time was taken out frequently in every quarter to allow the fagged men to get a breath of air. Following every whistle for the taking out of time, gladiators of both sides were strewn all over the field intent only on a brief respite from their gruelling work. All hands escaped without injuries of any consequence except Chris Juhl. the Ames right guard, who sus- tained a broken arm in the second period. Juhl's injury came early in the quarter but in the heat of bat- tle he did not find time to take stock of his hurt and finished the period with the member dangling at his side. Dr. H. L. Williams examined the injury after the game and pro- nounced it a bad fracture of the ra- dius. The Gopher coach set the break and told the injured man that perhaps he would be out of football for the year. Several members of both squads sustained painful bruises and all were on the verge of physi- cal exhaustion at the end of the game. The contest was mot in sesison long before it became evident that Ames would have to show her very best stuff to get the long end of the score. It was a far better team
