THE REAL LADY CAPTURES CLASSIC EVENT AT LEXINGTON——GTANTS’ REGULARS BAG GAME FROM PHlLLlES—SOLDlERS ARE GIVEN ASEBALL PARAPHERNALIA AT BOSTON—WHITE SOX MAY FORCE OPPONENTS TO SHOW REAL METTLE—OUIMET WINS FINAL GOLF MATCH FROM BRADY e METTLE OF GIANTS YET T0 BE TESTED %itent Strength of Team May Be Revealed in Coming Series "L New York, Oct. 3.—Feature of the B o hion et it as ell. as baseball men appear to have erlooked in their pre-world's series pressions is that no ane actually ell how the Giants will act when rd pressed. This really is the big juestion mark of the series. It is ily the most important psychologi- al factor. “Johnny Evers, smart ball hat he is, recognized this ald & few days ago: ive never been put est. I believe they can show even etter ability in the world’s series ian during the regular season.” There never was a time this sea- fon that the team was forced to let . itself out to the last notch. Despite he fact that the Phillies look fairly Blose to the Giants now in the stand- {ng, the 1917 race was one of the pasiest to win in the entire history f the Natonal League. | £ It need only be pointed out that in € ghe forty-two National League races nly one team has ever won a pen- ant with a percentage under .600. During the time when the race should ve been the closest the Philadelphia Blub kept floundering along with a {{ipercentage of .550. It is only since e Glants clinched the flag that the hlllles attained a mark above .570. Threatened Only Once. §) No other team ever threatened the f§3lants with the exception of the Reds hen they made their midseason iBpurt which ended in ten straight de- eats. But during the time the Reds #aunched their drive they defeated the Giants in six out of nine games. However, the Reds always were so far back that their drive was never fiken seriously. Clarence Rowland realizes this fact ter than any one who has dis- ssed the subject. Rowland says he s ‘his. team will win because he I0OWsS just what they can do when ey have to win. In discussing the peries he said. ‘We just knew we had 0 win and did win.” Rowland referred to a time ugust when after a series of set- acks Boston passed the Chicago [@feam. Then the White Sox launched jdrive which netted them fifteen out sixteen games and soon left the ed Sox far behind. Rowland also Is attention to the fact that practi- ally every series between Chicago d the Red Sox this season was for Iood all advertised as crucial series. At a time when Boston was supposed four straight games. b blayer when he “The Giants to the actual in b start its great fall drive the White Box won four out of five. He thinks the White Sox gathered nough impetus during that pennant drive to carry them through the ries the same as the Boston Braves drive in 1914 enabled the Braves Athletics to | weep up the mighty in New Situation Avises. The nearest the Giants came to any- hing crucial was when they had to lay six games with Philadelphia arly in September, with a lead of; [felght full games. However, Philadel- phia would have been required to win | six straight or five out of six to make p,ny impression, and with the present Philadelphia lineup such a task was s impossible as things are impossible j8in baseball. By winning four out of six the Giant ended the faint hopes [Bor the Quakers. | )' But starting an important eight full games ahead, with less than a month to play, is nothing like the test of starting an all important series on an even keel. It is needless to say that no omne realizes this better than McGraw. One of his biggest tasks during the series ‘will be to arouse the Giants to the mental pitch which nothing during the past season was able to bring out. Giants in Exhibition. Both the Giants and White Sox are finishing with their brushing up course for the big series. The Giants play another double header with the Phillies today and then will make 2 quick jump to Chicago, where they will play an exhibition game with the Cubs tomorrow. That will wind up their preliminary work. The White Sox complete their course with an exhibition game with the Cleveland Indians at Comiskey Park today. ‘The Chicago players will be the guests tonight at a banquet to be given In their honor by the Woodland Bards, an organization composed of President Comiskey’s personal friendd. Seats j for 1,400 have been arranged. i * CORNELL OARSMEN REPORT. Duly Eighty-six Candidates For Vai ! ous Crews Show Up. ! Ithaca, N.

New York, Oct. 3.—It took Harold Ruel, the rookie Yankee backstop, quite a spell before he inserted his first 1917 hit into the American League records, but Herold injected it into yesterday's Yankee-Athletic game on the Polo Grounds at a most appro- priate moment. It rolled off his bat in the eighth inning and knocked in the tieing run. A few minutes later Ruel galloped home with the run which won for the Yankees by a score of 3 to 2. The Yankee victory may mean noth- ing to Yankee fans, but it means that Connie Mack will spend his third win- ter in the league basement. Connie had hopes of landing as high-as seventh this season, but in order to have done so he would have had to beat ' the Yanks three straight. Can any one imagine the Connie of former years ambitious to finish in seventh place? The score: Philadelphia .. ..

CITY LEAGUE RESULTS Captain Brennecke's Wanderers Meet the Usual Treatment on the Aetna Alleys—Anderson Bowls Fine Game. Running true to past form, the Wanderers dropped two games in the City league last evening on the Aetna lanes, the victors this time being the Mohawks. The losers made a strong bid to get into the long end of at least one series, when they bowled neck and neck with their rivals in the opening game, but fate was agin em' and a margin of 14 points went to the Mohawks. The second game was a walk-over for Anderson’s pin topplers with a 70 point advantage. In the good night game, Brennecke's team, who bowl like the Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball, were returned victorious. Captain Brennecke is still hopeful, believing that his team has great life which will not weaken, Aided by the brilliant work of “Yen” Anderson, the Colonials de- feated the Harpoons twice last even- ing, winning the first ad third games. Windish was also a tower of strength to the victors. Captain Hines of the Harpoons rolled in excellent form.

Notices have been sent to the fortu- | nate ones asking them to call at the south side park and receive their reservations, Scalpers, too, have informed their | patrong that they will be able to de- liver tickets tomorrow, but their high prices indicate an inadequacy of supply.
