" THE GRANOLDOPE ON COMING SERIES Wil Phillieé in First Chance at World’s Title Succeed? New York, Oct. 2.—TFor the first time in the history of the world serieg the National league will be rep- resented by a Philadelphia club in Yhe struggle for the premicr honors of the professional diamond. Not since the organization of the nior major leaguo back in 1876 has a Quaker City team in this association won a pennant until the present season. During the forty years of the Na- tional league existence Philadelphia Bas fought for the flag no less than thirty-four times and it remained for Manager Pat Moran to lead the Phil- lies of 1915 out of the wilderness of baseball dispair and into the light af a World’s Series. The home of Wil- liam Penn was represented by a club the opening year of the organiza- tion but the following season dropped out and did not re-appear as a pen- nant contender until 1883. From that time until the present *hiladelphia has annually figured in the league race but with rather in- different success. The position of runner-up to the winner was achieved in 1887, 1901 and 1913 while the depth was reached of twelve clubs. The average of the Philadelphia teams for the thirty-four years in 4 19-34 which would rank them as leaders of the secand division. Other cities have tried from time to time to capture a senior league flag without success for twenty-two have had their names borne by teams since the formation of the league in 1876. None has been more persistent than Philadelphia, hawever, and the fans of Quakerburg are entitled to wide latitude for celebrating. Of the twenty-two National pennant hunt- ing cities but eight have ever ac- complished the feat of capturing a flag. Chicago leads with ten; Bos- ton is second with nine; New York third with seven; Pittsburg faurth with four while Baltimore and Brook- lyn are tied with three each; Provi- dence is credited with two and De- troit one. Other cities that have tried and failed include: Cincinnati, St. Louis, Buffalo, Cleveland, Hart- fyrd, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Lauis- ville, Milwaukee, Syracuse, Troy, ‘Washington and Worcester. Pennants and Worlds Series are not new to Philadelphia, however, for Connie Mack has won six American League flags and three Warld’s Cham- “‘pionships with his Athletics but it was not until Moran took charge of the National league club that the senior association pennant chasers forged to the frant and broke a rec- ord of thirty-four years standing by bringing to the Quaker City a Na- tional League banner to hang along side of the numerous buntings that Mack and his Athletics have garnered from the American League and the Warld’s Series. The complete rec- ord of the Philadelphia National League clubs showing the finishing position since 1876 is as follows: ,1876-7 1894- 4 1905-4 1883-8 1895- 3 1906-4 1884-6 1896- 8 1907-3 1885-3 1897-10 1908-4 1886-4 1898- 1909-5 1887-2 1899- 1910-4 1888-3 1900- 1911-4 1889-4 1901- 1912-5 1890-3 1902- 1913-2 1891-4 1908~ 1914-6 1892-4 1904- 1916-1 1893-4 Attendance Comparisons. New attendance and gate receipt records are not unlikely in the com- img World’s Series between the Phil- adelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans. Much will depend, of course, upon the length of the series and the amount of interest displayed by the fans of the two pennant win- ning cities. If the struggle for the chamiponship is close and continues or six or seven games there is no question that new figures will be es- tablished in these departments thus adding greatly to the satisfaction of players and magnates. The selection of the new park of the Boston National League club as the scene of the games to be played in Boston opens the way for greatly Imcreased attendance for the Braves stadium will accommodate fully 50,- 000 spectators. It is the latest and the largest enclosure devoted to base- ball and in offering it to the Red Sox, President Gaffney is but recipro- cating the ‘courtesy extended to his club by the President Lannin last agson when the Braves played and won the World's Championship in the Boston Amerjcan League park. If the Philadelphia Nationals were the possessors of a field with any- thing like the seating capacity of the Red Sox’ temporary home the attendance figures would in all prob- bility soar above 300,000. Since the illies’ park will hold but 20,000 extra stands have been erected ational League representatives p badly- handicapped in their at- to keep pace with the Boston Should the series go but four was the case a year ago the lce would be 100,000 for Bos- 40,000 for Philadelphia. This uld be a new record for a 1 series since the Braves- series of 1914 drew 111,009. f full seven games shauld be re- d to decide the title, with four 'ed in Boston and three in Phil- phia and the teams play to park Pacity, the total atendance would P ..pm~uomoo.‘ The record to date 1 made in the 1912 series e e R es Rod Sox and the F' New York Giants, when eight games ywere played before the Red Sax won championship. | PUnder almost any conditions it s onable to assume that close 10,000 spectators will witness the % for the 1915 title thus bringing rand total for the World’s Series under the contral of the National Commission up to 1,650,000 in round figures. Since the first contest under this regime in 1903 eleven series have been played with a total of sixty-four | games and an attendance of 1,395,567 To these figures must be added the attendance at the earlier matches of which few accurate records exist. From 1884 to 1902 there were twelve series played with a total of eighty games and it has been esti- mated by old time fans and players that the average attendance at these contests could not have fallen far short of 3,000 per game. Such be- ing the case another total of 240,000 must be credited to the World’s Series figures bringing the grand tatal up to close to 1,650,000. Allow 200,000 for the coming play and it will be seen that before the World’'s Championship of 1915 has been won the attendance figures for the entire play for this premier title of the baseball world will have passed the millian and three- quarter mark. The official attendance figures for the eleven series under the National Commission control are appended: 1903 19056 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 COBB BATTING AT .368 CLIP Is 89 Points Ahead of Next Man— Doyle and Luderus Tied Chicago, Oct. 2.—Tyrus Cobb of Detroit continues to lead the Amer- ican league batsmen. Averages pub- lished today show the Georgian hit- ting .368, while Eddie Collins of Chi- cago is the runner-up, 39 points be- hind. Fournier, team-mate of Col- lins, is next with .328. Others who have played in at least half of the games are: Speaker Boston .320, and Meclnnis, Philadelphia .316. Cobb continues as the leading run getter with 142, five behind the Am- ericas league record he made in 1911. In total bases he leads with 265, Sam Crawford, also of Detroit, being a close second with 261. In stolen bases Cobb, who set a new record for the American league last week, promises to run his total into the century mark. He now has 93 thefts to his credit. Oldring, Philadelphia Cleveland, have tied for honors with six each. Detroit leads in club batting with .264, Boston is second with .263 and Chicago third with .260. In the National league Luderus of Philadelphia, and Doyle of New York are tied for first place in batting hon- ors, each with an average of .317. Following are Hinchman, Pittsburg .307; Griffith, Cincinnati .306 and Daubert, Brooklyn .806. Cincinnatl leads in club batting with .255 and St. Louis is second with .253. New York with .249 is tied with Brooklyn for third place. Doyle 1is leading run-getter with 88 to his credit. Cravath, Philadelphia, leads in total bases with 257 and in home runs with 23, only two less than the major league record established by Freeman of Washington in 1899. Carey, Pitts- burg leads in stolen bases with 37.

Tordham has made special accommo- dations to handle its football cohorts this season, and it was only two days ago that work was completed on the new bleachers They are on the north side of the gridiron. Today's game is not looked upon as the usual opener by Fordham. It will be the first time the Bronx collegians could get to try out the new Yale system introduced by Harry Vaughn. Although rain pre- vented the outdoor practice yester- day, the squad reported in the gym for a lecture. The list of plays was thoroughly explained on the black- board. Harry Vaughn laid particular stress on the support that should be given to the tackles. He is depend- ing on May and Mulecahy for most of the defense. As it will line up today the Fordham team will have four freshmen in its make-up They are Golden of Brooklyn Prep, Kendricks of Boston High school of Commerce, Delehanty of Brooklyn Prep, and Frank Treanor of Morris High school. The hne-up as announced for today's game, will be: J. Conklin, left end; May, left tackle; Kendricks, left guard; Delehanty, center; Treanor, right guard; Mulcahy right tackle; Corriden, right end; Morcaldi quar- ter back; Golden, left haif back; Dunn, right half back, and Yule, full back. BULGARIANS UNDER TEUTONS. London, October 2.—Foreign Secre- tary Grey announced yesterday after- roon that German and Austrian of- ficers were arriving in Bulgaria to direct the Bulgarian army.

A Freak Play. An unusual freak baseball play oc- curred in a recent game between the | Athletics and the Cleveland club at Philadelphia. In the second inning with two out, Lajoie on third and Healy at bat with two strikes and two balls called, pitcher Garrett made a wild hurl which struck in front of the plate. Healy struck at the bound- ing ball which hit Catcher O'Neill’s mask and rolled back onto thg = . mond, while Healy ran for first. "\ rett ran in from the box and picking up the ball touched out Lajoie who ‘was trying to score from third, retir- ing the side. The net result of the play was that Garrett saved his record from a wild pitch and secured a put out; Healy was safe at first on a | missed third strike and the side was. retired, all on one play. Big Auto Race Today. The new two-mile speedway at Sheepshead Bay, New York city, will be opened this afternoon with a 350 mile auto race in which the leading drivers and the most powerful cars of the country will compete. Prelim- inary practice spins have resulted in new records and the prediction that the race today will demonstrate that the board track is the fastest in the world. The drivers express the be- lief that, given the proper weather and track conditions, they can show an ayerage of better than 100 miles per hour for the full distance. A new sporting event attendance record is also considered possible for ar- rnagements have been made to ac- commodate more than 150,000 spec- tators. Australasian Tennis Results. The Australasian lawn tennis cham- pionships for 1915 were decided at a tournament held at Brisbane late in August with the following results: F. Gordon Lowe of England defeat- ed Horace Rice of New South Wales for the Australasian singles cham- pionship 4—6, 6—1, 6—1, 6—4. Hor- ace Rice and C. Todd, the latter of New South Wales, defeated F. Gordon .Lowe of England and H. 8t. John of Queensland for the Australasian doubles championship at 8—8, 6—4, 7—9, 6—3. The tournament was otherwise an interstate one between New South Wales and Queensland, The dislo- cating effect of the war upon tennis, as upon all other sports in the Anti- podes, is shown by the fact that A. O'Hara Wood of Victoria, who won the singles championship of the Aus- tralasia last season, is at the front with the Australian troops and did not compete. The doubles winners of Jast season, A. Campbell and G. Pat- terson, also did not compete for a similar reason. The “Sphinx” Talks. Connie Mack, manager of the Phila- delphia Athletics, six time winners of American league pennants and three times world’s champions, stung by criticisms relative to his deliberate breaking up of the famous baseball machine, has made a sweeping dec- laration regarding his plans for 1916. Mack said recently: ‘“We are losing ball games every day and probably will finish the poor- est of any team in either league in years, but I have made considerable progress along the lines of reconstruc- tion. If the fans will look back to the 1908 season they will realize that my progress was slow then until the combination was complete, and then the team came like lightning. My progress must be slow because the | only part that I have now that I am banking on for my new machine are pitchers, and they don’'t know any- | thing yet and cannot be expected to show until next season. “I will have almost an entirely new | team in the fleld in two weeks' time | and then the fans will be able to get a line on my future championship team. To date I have not a single youngster, barring one, who will be a part of the new machine. My bcst‘ prospects will be here in a short time, and I think the fans will be satis- fied. “I repeat that we will have another wonderful club before the close of next season. Everything depends on how soon my pitchers develop. They will surely be right by the middle of next season. They are slow finding themselves, but they will come around. The rest of my combination has been completed and will be signed up between now and the spring train- ing season.” Shooting Championships. The annual national championships of the National Rifle association will be decided at the Florida state range near Jacksonville beginning one week from next Friday. The leading marksmen from all branches of the service and clvilian corps will com- pete and high scores are expected. | Including the matches of the Florida State Rifle association, the Southern Rifle association and the National as- sociation, the tournament will occupy almost the entire month of October, beginning today and continuing until | the 25th. Don't Miss This. The middle west has added another interesting item to the baseball chronicles of the year with a story of a rabbit which acted as pacemaker for a batter who had driven out a home run. The incident occurred at St. Cloud, Minn.,, when Thielman of the home team lifted a long hit to center fleld which started a rabbit hidden in the long grass. This four legged spectator of the game, fright- ened by the ball, ran toward the in- field, reaching second base just ahead of Thielman. Touching the bag, the rabbit headed for third and in order to avoid the bleachers turned at that bag and crossing the home plate dis- appeared under the grand stand. Thielman was right at the rabbit's heels in the race for the plate and was credited with a circuit hit but the scorer refused to give the rabbit a home run, claiming that it had not touched first base. Tennis Champ’s Rating. The season's record of William M. Johnston, the 1915 tennis champion, upon which his ranking ‘will be based consists of fourteen matches against the leading players of the country. He won and lost a match each against McLoughlin; lost two out of three matches against Willilams and was also defeated by Pell, Niles and By- ford. His record, which many close followers of tennis expeéct will win for him the coveted number one posi- tion in the annual ranking of Ameri- can racquet experts, is as follows: Won from Grifin at San Francisco, 6—2, 6—4, 3—6, 6—3; from Church at San Francisco, 6—1, 4—6, 6—38, 6—4; from Washburn at Newport, 6—4, 6—1, 6—4; from LeRoy at Southampton, 6—1, 6~—2; from Church at Southampton, 6—3, 5—7, 6—1; from Hackett at Forest Hills, 6—1, 6—2, 10—8; from Behr at For- est Hills, 3—6, 6—3, 6 —2, 7—5; from Griffin at Forest Hills, 6—2, 6—1, 6—8, 5—7, 6—1; from Wil- liams at Forest Hills, 6—7, 6—4, 6—7, 6—2, 6—2; from McLoughlin at For- est Hills, 1—6, 6—0, 7—5, 10—8. Lost to McLoughlin at San Fran- cisco, 7—9, 4—86, 8—6, 6—2, 6—4; to Miles at Longwood, 6—4, 2—86, 6—4, 6—4; to Byford at Chicago, 3—6, 7—5, 6—4; to Willlams at Newport, 3—6, 10—8, 6—1, 6—3; to Pell at Southampton, 6—3; 6—4 ‘Willlams at Forest Hills, 6—4, 0—6, 6—4, 6—4. “BIG ED” WALSH BEATS RICKEYITES EASILY Seven Scattered Hits Is All Rickey's Men Can Get Off White Sox Hurler.

New York, Oct. 2.—Coach Jim Rice of the Columbia crews has issued the first call for practice for next Tues- day afternoon. Both varsity and freshman candidates will be called out and preparations will be begun for a fall regatta. Rice announced vesterday that there would be a race with Yale this fall, probably on Lake Whitney at New Haven. The Lake ‘Whitney course is approximately two miles, but the course will probably be shorteaed The date of the regatta was not glven out, but it will probably be the first week in November. Some sur- prise is occasloned in rowing circles at the renewal of relations between Yale and Columbia, the two colleges not having competed on the water for over a score of years. HAINES CASE TO GRAND JURY. Bridgeport, Oct. 2.—The grand jury, it was learned yesterday, will be called in next week, probably Thursday or Friday, to consider the case of Jason S.

GAFFNEY ..__ED TO “ The H RESIGN; WILL TOUR U. S. FOR GERMANY Thomas St John Gaffney, whose resignation as United States consul general at Munich was requested by the administration, will, it is reported, B0 on the lecture platform in Amer- ica on behalf of Germany. Mr. Gaff- ney has been charged with writing anti-British articles for publication. also with writing a commendatory letter to a publication which had been running a series of articles attacking the American government for its at- titude in the war. His friendship for Sir Roger Casement, foe of the Brit- ish government. has also been criti- cized. FRENGH CAPTURE “SOUGHEZ WOODS Germans Driven Out After Fierce Encounter Paris, October 2.—Seven mines, each contaniing sixteen. hun- dred pounds of powder, were ex- ploded with a terrific roar ag soon as the signal was given for the French advance at Souchez, according to the story of an eye witness of the battle. “Simultaneously,” he sald, “our men leaped out of their trenches and made for the German trenches before a forest. The Germans bolted through the woods persued by our first ‘wave,’ Sections of the second ‘wave’ explored the ruined trenches and underground shelters, which often were twenty feet deep. As they had had no desire tc go down into these holes, whence it seemed unlikely they would come out alive, our men dropped bombs and fired shot guns through the open- ings, which effectually prevented the occupants from coming out and tak- ing us in the rear. German Manecuver Foiled. ““The bulk of our men followed the Germans, who were running Ilike hares, through the woods. They soon captured .the second line of trenches in the middle of the forest and went on, some even crossing the Souches brook or going up the sunken road leading to Angres. The Germans brought up reserves and.tried to sur- round us. This maneuver was foiled, however, by our officers, who drew our men back to the first line cap- tured. “During the night the Germans fortified themselves in the woods but at daybreak our artillery stopped their work by a furious bombardment. The evening before the forest presented the ordinary aspect, but in a few minutes all was changed like magic. One after another the trees were mowed down by shells, and soon the woods were transformed into a fleld of stumps emerging from a jungle of branches. German Artillery Active. “The German artillery was not idle either, but sent at us a steady stream of shells, which plowed up the earth all around us, without doing much harm. Explosive shells were varied occasionally by shrapnel. This fire was borne philosophically, for since they have had their new steel helmets our men don't fear wounds in the head. A fragment of shell tore through one man’s helmet, but its force was so spent that he escaped vith a grazed scalp. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the guns ceased firing and we were or- cered to attack again. Machine guns which the Germans had placed on their flanks were soon put out of action. It is difficult going in, the woods. The men stumbled over branches but on the other hand, holes torn in the ground by shells gave shel- ter against machine gun fire. These guns were cunningly concealed in pits covered with steel plates. The bar- rels, protruding through narrow slits, were invisible from a distance, and they sent at us a withering fire, But cur men didn’t hesitate. From behind tree stumps and from the pits they kept hurling a constant stream of bombs, and soon drove the Germans out of the woods, which remained in our hands.” CHOLERA IN GALICIA, Amsterdam, Oct. 2.—Cholera still is raging in Galicla, the Telegraaf says, and according to the home police 300 cases have been reported, Remedy for cou colds, hoarseness; pleasant to take and sure to help when needed. l l Hale's Honey Of Horehound and Tar A tonie, expectorant and laxative.

Tr Pike's Toothache Drepe AN WIRELESS MESAGE MAY ENCIRCLE GLOBE Columbia Professor Has New Device to Transmit Human Voice An Unlimited Distance. New York, Oct. 2,—The invention of a device which will prevent static interference with long distance wire- less communications was announced yesterday by Professor Michael 1. Pu- pin of Columbia University, scientist and perfecter af electrical appliances. Professor Pupin said his invention eliminates entirely the difficulties constantly interfering with wireless messages over a long distance. The application of his device, Professor Pupin said, will make it possible to transmit the human voice an unlimit- ed distance without the slightest inter- ference from unfavorable electrical conditions. “There is nothing now,” the pro- fesor said, “to prevent the transmis- sion of messages by wireless telephone to every part of the globe. We may talk to the Antipodes—or for that matter send a message completely around the globe, if we lik. The new discovery, which is the re- sult of eleven years' experimental work at Columbia, is an improvement upon the present aerial antennae Professor Pupin said. It renders the antennae sensitive only to the elec- trical waves which the operator de- sires to receive. It had been used only at the Columbia wireless station, which has been able to pick up mes- sages not heard by the station for which they were intended. ‘“We have picked up messages from as far off as Honoluly,” declared Pro- fessor Pupin, “and we have over- heard countless other messages from ships at sea and from land stations. It is safe to say that many of the mes- sages which we were able to receive never reached their destinations be- cause of static disturbances which were too strong for the average In- strument.” TAKE POWER PLANT AT MEXICO CITY Carranza Forces Kill 100 Zapata Sol- diers Who Were Defending It— Villa Officers To Surrender. ‘Washington, Oct. 2.—Capture of the electric power plant on the outskirts of Mexico City by Carranza troops, who killed 100 of the Zapata soldiers holding the plant, was announced in delayed dispatches received yesterday at the state department. The capture followed a sharp fight Thursday, and it was said that the plant was dam- aged so slightly that it would be pos- gible to resume service in a few hours. Raiding bands of Zapata troops have intermittently occupied the lower country for some time and the last few days had been in complete con- trol. Lack of fuel in the city inter- rupted the service of the plant long ago, and emergency stations been relied upon by the city light and power. Three former Villa officers, accord- ing to an announcement from the Car- ranza agency here tonight, are on the way to Vera Cruz, commissioned to ar- range for the surrender of many of the chiefs of Villa's army. *“It s stated,” says the announcement, “that they are traveling incognito because Villa is ignorant of their Intention.
