Of course this is not the fault of the “expert.” He does his best, and his best when played against thé vagaries of our great American pastime is a poor gambling proposi- tion in most cases. However, he is not always wrong. Sometimes his se- lection comes up to expectations and is said to be an excellent one. The preliminary of 10 rounds will bring together Joe Rocco of Hartford a local favorite and “Young” Fulton of New York. Rocco by his - past exhibitions in this city has endeared himself in the hearts of the boxing fans, and it is expected that a crowd- ed house will greet the little fellow with the usual round of cheers, when he climbs into the ring. Rocco has acquired the reputation of never dis- appointing an audience, and * when stacked up against such an experi- enced youngster as Fulton, it is ex- pected that he will be seen at his best. The usual curtain raiser of 6 rounds between local lads will open the show. John F. Willis will act as referee and E. 8. Kilby will hold the watch. There has ben a heavy demand for ticekts from Waterbury, New Haven and Hartford. Baseball in a Nutshell THE STANDINGS, National League.

A case in point is that of the Red Sox. The ‘“‘experts” were unanimous in their selection of Bill Carrigan’s clan for the 1915 bunting, and from present indications it looks as if their pre- Gictions were about to be realized. Carrigan, though he has not an en- viable lead over Detroit, has his team playing real championship ball, and if the old “cracking under the strain” | hoodoo- does not enter into the hunt | between now and the “final curtain” the chances of Hughey Jennings, Ty Cobb & Co. heading off Carrigan and his clan seem very slim. Buffalo RUSSELL BOY WINS WITH “POP” “Grand Old Man” Drives Pacer to a Three Straight Win for King Stake at Columbus, O. Columbus, O., Sept. Boy, Illinois-owned pacer, and Volga, owned by the Pastime Stable of Cleve- land, were winning favorites at yes- terday’'s opening of the Columbus Grand Circuit races. Russell Boy, over a track that was not on edge, €id three miles around 2:02 in taking the King stake.

Duchess, the first heat and was able to step away from everything except Vaster in the next two. The Winnipeg geld- ing took them by scant heads. but the final one was not so closely contested. Bessie R, an Indiana half miler, came out in the 2:14 pace. the first two heats, getting hte earliest one in 2:95 1-4 without being extend- ed. Camelia, the first choice, got a flying start in the third heat managed to ward off Dwight Logan, beside her all through the strotch. Bessie R, cut off at the start, finished fourth.

But say at the end that it couldn’t derail Yes, it's quite a game, taking it up and down—or coming and going. Four years around this time Mathew- son and Coombs were hooked to- gether in a world series outburst. Both then were at the top of their glory. In that series Coombs tore the lining out of his side and began to slip fast. Two years later he was rated as a hopeless cripple—and two Vears later Matty was still a world scries hero. Today Colby Jack is back where he used to be and Matty is further down the list than he has ever been in his fifteen-year career. Or, as Plato said first: “you can’t even guess in this business.” Close to a Record. There may have been managers be- fcre who debutted with a pennant winner, but at present we fail to re- call the occasions. So if Pat Moran iands where the dope has safely rlanted him—out in front—he will be at least the first modern leader to cpen a managerial career under the flutter and shadow of the flag. Hughey Jennings won his first year with Detroit, but Hughey had drawn managerial experience in Baltimore, Frank Chance won his first year out, tut Chance started with a ball club Tuilt up by others. McGraw, Clarke, Mack and Stallings, all needed time to build up flag machines. But Moran Las come further in a shorter while than any manager that ever attempt-. ed to coax ball playing talent along the fleld. The Red Sox and Philliles may not meet in the next world series, and by the same date John D. Rocke- feller may be down to his last kopeck. Those who figured the Red Sox as likely to quit and curl up under the Tiger attack haven’t followed the for- tunes of Carrigan's club any great part of the campaign. No club in e‘ther league has ever faced the high spots of the entire campaign with the same courage shown by the A. L. leaders. When the time came to make good, both at home and abroad, they were the people out there forcing most of the fighting. This fact is outlined by their season’s count against Tigers and White Sox, for even on home flelds the two latter clubs were never able to keep the leaders in check. The Ball Player’s Side. Here is an, opinion from a ball player in regard to criticism against so much rowdiness upon the field: “Whatever the ball player does is always wrong. If we go after the umpires we are rowdies. If we fail tc go after them and take all de- cisions as they come we are quitters —or the crowd say we are colorless— just as they said of-the Athletics. A number of critics charged us for a long time Wwith being a league of hand shakers—and said the old fight- ing spirit had been Kkilled and that all we thought of was money. Then when we start scrapping to win and exchange a wallop or two we are branded as muckers and thugs. The Athletics never protested a decision and never started any trouble, and, in spite of having four pennant win- ners, few people, comparatively, paid to see them play. And that's the way it has always gone. Whatever we do wrong.” ie For that matter whatever most| people do is wrong, according to most other people. Which has very little to do with the heart of the situation. Two Examples. To the player in question we might refer the Red Sox and Phillies, who pave done fairly well this season as | guch things operate. They have not been rowdyism or muckerism. They have done very little umpire baiting. But they have gone out and hustled and fought for ball games against oppos- ing teams and thereby, in addition to achieving success in the club stand- | ings, have probably drawn more money to the gate than any other club, barring only the Tigers, who Lave worked much along the same lines. accused of The Braves Set Back. The Braves have drawn more than their share of rugged luck this season. | But on the side they have tossed many a game by fighting umpires; harder than they fought opposing ¢iubs. They have had more suspen- siong than any two pennant conten- ders in either circuit, and to this as ORT LIGHT Grantland Rice much as to injuries and sickness, they can lay their misfortune. Practically a True Story. Pat Moran was observed walking about with a lantern in one hand and a heavy telescope in the other, peer- ing into various nooks and crannies along the way. ‘“What are you looking for?” asked a puzzled bystander, “I guess it'’s no use,” replied Pat. “I'm looking for the Strain we are supposed to Crack Under, but it doesn’t seem to be in the neighbor- hood.” First Call for W. S. Dope, In case it develops that way, one might have considered this—the Red Sox will have all the trouble there is hitting Alexander. But the Tigers, with a batting average of .268—with Cobb, Crawford and Veach—-could hit ‘Shore, Leonard and Ruth with very little effect. How hard can the Phil- lies hit Shore, Leonard, Ruth and Wood or Foster with a batting aver- age under .250? Sportive Popularity. A Dbystander desires to know just why it is that Maurice McLoughlin and Francis Ouimet were so popular ae champions and why the average sport follower felt so depressed at their defeats. This matter is a simple one. Mec- Loughlin and Ouimet are not only clean-playing, magnetic young sports- men, but both proved to be defenders of their native land against two great invasions. Ouimet overthrew Vardon and Ray in golf and McLoughlin over- threw Wilding and Brookes in lawn tennis. Both made good against the best a foreign invader could send. Small wonder that those who esteem American supremacy in sport have made these two popular heroes and desire to see them win. THREE RECRUITS FOR GIANTS. The Giants have signed three more recruits and will give the youngsters a chance to show their skill before the seaton is over. Manager McGraw has signed Pitcher Fred Herbert of Toronto, the twirler who was to go to the Giants .2 the proposed Mar- quard deal, which fell through. Ben Dyer, the infielder who trained at Marlin with the Giants a few seasons | ago, has been recalled from the 5t Paul club of che American associa- tion. McGraw has also eigned Catch- er Bradley Kocher of the Tgrontopj club. COME ON YOU N. B. CO. Now that the Veribest team has been safely tucked away under the blanket or defeat, the Herald team is on the trail of the Nationa]l Biscuit company, whose manager issued a defi last week to the Herald team. If the manager of the N. B, company will communicate with the manager of the Herald team his wants for a game this week will be granted. BASEBALL MANAGER RESIGNS.
