No man has ever pitched more. It isn’t likely that any man could pitch more—and be at his best; unless, of course, soggy weather intervened and furnished a day or so of rest. Based upon average world series conditions for the past, Alexander can | tackle three games and still be at his best. But delivering an abnormal amount of goods a star pitcher is supposed to hand out in a big serles, close to the human limit. - In the Rival Camp. The man to do most of the guess- ing: in this series will be Bill Carri- gan. Bill will only need three pitch- ers—certainly not over four—and to make his selections at the right mo- ment from the staff he has around him will cause Mr. Carrigan a num- ber of highly thoughtful moments. Joe Wood may get back in for a game —and then Carrigan still has left Ruth, Shore, Foster, Leonard, Collins and Gregg. Shore, Ruth, Foster and Leonard were the main troopers hurled against the Tigers in the recent test series— =0 these .four will do most of the work two weeks hence. As in 1914. As the same two cities will meet in world series strife, the same schedule undoubtedly will be main- tained as for 1914—that is, two games in each spot before the shift is made.

Onc Help for Alexander. As the series will open around the lotter part of the week, Alexander will get an extra day’s rest over Sun- day. This means that the Nebraska Cyclone w:ll be/at top form for the orener in each city—which also means that to' win the Red Sox, as great a hall club as they are, will need every trick of the well known trade to cap- ture even one of the first two Alexan- drian games. For Alexander, like 'Mathewson, Bender and Coombs, is not only a great pitcher in the ordinary, every day business of winnning ball games, but he also belongs to the lion-hearted type that fights to the final out. Under Fire, Those who are wondering whether cr not Big Alec can stand up under fire should ask Clarke Grifith. When the Philly star was a young debutante, ritching one of his first few games, there werc three Reds on the bases and none out. The old Fox took the ceaching line. “Hey,” yelled Griff, “you know why 1 wouldn’t pay $500 for you? You got a streak of yellow up your back cight feet wide. I knew you were a quitter so I let you go.."” Alexander walked over from the box to within five feet of Griff. “I'll show you where the yellow is, you bum,” he replied. And, returning to the box, the big pitcher didn't do any- thing except strike out the next three men, “‘And after that,” remarked Griff, “I let that guy’s goat alone.” Cobb and 100 Steals. In the old days it was considered no mighty achievement to pilfer 100 5y Grantlend Rice l LIGHT bases. Stovey, Hamilton, Lange and others romped around at their will, But evidently the old days and baseball after 1900 are not exactly cne and the same. Any sprinter who can steal from sixty to seventy bases can lead the National league any vear he cares to start. And only a few in the American have gone above seventy bases—Milan, Cobb, Maisel and Collins being the answer. So when Milan stole eighty-eight bases, five beyond Cobb's best year, the record looked to be sealed and closed. Tor Milan wag beyond the range of any catcher that season. And now Cobb is at it again. He had never quite gotten it out of his bean that Milan had wrested away his cld mark. And now Cobb, with over 90 steals and a new record to his credit, is out to close the books again with an even 100. He now has the areatest batting average for ten years —the record in runs and hits made in a single season—1911—and now he has the record in steals. Not so bad for one lone human system. R. L. J—No, we haven't an idea what pitcher Carrigan will start. And | we doubt that Carrigan has this far ahead. Why all this outburst against the Giants and Yanks meeting in a city series? There probably will be four or five other things a fellow could do any one of those afternoons. Up Against It. Jack Cady, who made Rock Island famous, was playing a golf match in a recent tournament at Memphis, Ten- nessee. His opponent had for a cad- die a small African, who was deeply interested in the result for purely commercial reasons. While his man was in the tournament he got $1.50 a day. When his man passed out he was lucky to get thirty cents. So the little black caddie pulled hard for every shot, but to no great purpose. Finally as the seventh hole was reached the little caddie, walking de- jectedly away, slowly .shaking his head, met another boy. “How's you’ man stan’?” asked the bystander. To which the sombre little African replied: “He's fo’ down, and he's goanna be a lot mo.".” Sure tip for Monday headlines: “Coaches displeased at Yale Univer- sity’s showing. Will drive eleven hard this week.” ‘We’ve heard quite a bit about what Yale and Harvard intend to do this season, but in some way we have a faint, spiral sort of a hunch that Princeton isn’t going to be any door- mat and that Cornell will be about all and more than one or two elevens are looking for. Haughton, as great a coach as he is, can't continue any career of eter- ral victory. It hasn’t been done since old Doc Adam’s day, and this was all several seasons ago. McGraw, Mack, Jennings, Chance, Travers, Travis, Cuimet, McLoughlin and eight or ten others have found that if one sticks around long enough the wallop will arrive in time. This may or may not be Haughton’s time to get it. But if he can get by this season he will be even more of a marvel than he al- ready has shown himself to be. HOW TO GET TICKETS. First Come First Served to Be System of Red Sox Management. Boston, Sept. 27.—Now that the championship of the American league seems assured to the Boston Red Sox, applications for seats for the games of the world’s series to be played at the Hub are pouring in to the club man- agement. Until the pennant winner is actually ‘‘elected” nothing will be done in the way of reserving seats for the applicants, but it is understood that the early applications will have the preference when it comes to actually assigning seats at the new Braves' Field, which will be used for the Boston end of the series. Those who make applications for tickets re- ceive in reply a neat card reading as follows: Boston American League Baseball Club, Fenway Park, 24 Jersey St., Boston, Mass. | This is not a reservation, but an acknowledgment of your application for world's series tickets. We are not making any promises now, but you application will be filed away and con- sidered later with others. Boston American League Club, Baseball Big Musical Event!

TO GIVE YOUTH A TRIAL. Wterbury, Conn., Sept. 27.—The New York Americans under Bill Don= ovan were objects of curiosity at the Elton Hotel here yesterday- They came in anticipation of a game with a fine scrub team got together by Ed- ward V. Curley. Rain prevented play, but the two managers got to- gether and rearranged the game for next Sunday, when Donovan promiscd ‘to come again himself. Donovan also agreed to give William Sheehey, a locally famed shortstop, a trial with the Yankees. | CAMPBELL A HERO IN PIONEER GAME Locals Even Series With Silver City Team Saturday, Aided by Camp- bell's Big Bat. The Meriden State League team fell before the Pioneers today at the Ellis street grounds, 8 to 7. Red Camp- bell’s big stick and sterling pitching by Johnson were in a great way re- spansible for the Pioneer victory. In the ninth inning with the score tied, Flannagan got his base on an error and was safe at second when a play on Blinn's attempted sacrifice went wrong. Red Campbell, the veteran slammed ane of Elliott's choicest ones for a single to center field scoring Flannagan with the winning run. The score: Pioneers. - Clancy, 1f., 3b.... Flannagan, 1b ....

BURT REFUSES TO FIGHT RIDGE, QUITS New Yorker Backs Down in Match | | With Ridge—Only Wants to Go 10 Rounds. On account of Fighting Jimmy Burt running out of his fifteen round | match with Danny Ridze of New | York which was scheduled to take place at Hanna's armory, October 1, | Manager Walsh of the Federal A. C., was forced to get a substitute to meet Ridge. The sub in question is none other than the crack Pittsburgh light- weight Paul Edwards. In signing Ed- wards, Walsh, has to be congratulated as the Pittsburgh scrapper is one of the best lightweights in the country and a far superior boy to Burt. Ed- wards is conceded to be by Smoky City fans as one of the best boys his weight ever turned out in Pennsylva- nia since the days of Frankie Madale. | Edwards is a rugged built battler who doesn’t know what the word stop | fighting means. He is a whirlwind performer, fighting from bell to beill, and he is just the kind of the bat- tler to send the fans home satisfled. Edwards has boxed such men as Willie Beecher, Gilbert Gallant, Matty Baldwin, Cy S8mith, K. O. Brown, S8am Robideau, Jack Redmond, Patsy Drouilard, Packey Hommey, Jimmy Fasane, One Round Hogan, Mickey Rodgers and others. BARRY HAS A CARBUNCLE. Boston, Sept. 27.—Jack Barry. cap- tain of the Red Sox, may not be able to play again during the American league season, but probably will be in condition for the world’s series games, it was learned Saturday. Barry hYas been at his home in Worcester since last Tuesday, supposedly suffering from an ordinary boil. Saturday he visited a specialist here and was told that his trouble was due to a carbuncle and that some days would be required for proper treatment. PICKING THE WINNER.
