The Lee & Osgoed Co. | the market remained | following a NORWICH FANS M Naturally enough, with a player of Danny Murphy’s popularity on the Philadelphia American league team, Connie Mack’s team would be a favor- ite in this city, but it is not for purely sentimental reasons that the majority of Norwich baseball fans are probably picking the White Elephants to crush the Giants when they meet for the world's series. The fans that favor the Jlackmen can give reasons good and substantial, for the hope and the faith that is within them. But with all the fans who pick the Athletics to cop the flag, there is a -considerable following here that believes the Giants will regain the flag for the National league this time. Below are given the expressions of a number of Nor- wich people on the series, beginning with Danny Murphy's confident asser- tion that the Athletics are bound to win. Danny Murphy, right fielder of the (next) world's champions—We've got it on the Giants and we're going to i When Baker and Collins get to poling out those long hits of-theirs, they’ll break up any pitching in the world. It's not Mathewson and Mar- quard that can throw a scare into the Athletics, but if Ames goes in we’ll have to look out for him. But any way you take it, we win. B. Caron—TI'll give the Athletics two games out of the six that will be played in the series. New York gets the rest. The Smoke Shop—Frank Fagan con- cedes the opening game on Saturday to the Giants, but the Athletics win the series. Charlie Whaley—Philadelphia has it on New York in batting and on_the infleld. Pitchers about even. Base running favors, the Gignts. but they've got to get on first. 1 pick the Athlefics. Ed Ritchie—Mathewson's the only pitcher the Giants have got. They won't get by on one man in the box, will they? Manager Bill Miller—I'm strong for the Gian Rube Marquard will make those other feilows look like 30 cents. Jack Tetlow—The Athletics, of course. Dan W ounihan—Philadelphia. . McKinley Savage—Me for the Athletics! Fred Vaudry- to_me. Walter Abendroth—Maybe the Giants It looks like the Giants will get one game, but not more. The series won't go the limit. _ Jack Moriarty—(No need to ask which Jack favers). ' Thaddeus T.eahy—The Athletics will lick the stuffing out of the Giants. Pat McNerney—TI’'ve seen them both play, and the Giants won't get a game. James T. Ring—Nothing to it but the Athletics. Not that they’ll win four straight, but they’ll get the series. Bill Patton—If New York loses the first game, it's goodbye to the series for them. Sam Therrien—The Athletics won't Jdo the batting against Mathewson and Marquard that they have against the American league pitch and unless they bat they won’t win. Representative John F. Craney— Batting strength is what wins games, and the Athletics have that. It wen't Le healthy for the Giants if they at- tempt to run wild on the bases. Ed Kirby, member of the board of relief—I pick the Giants to win, but | then T never placed a bet right vet on world's series. Bill Hartie—Those eight .300 hitters ajority Pick the Athletics to Win Amnother, - * Championship—But Giants Have Many Supporters a —Personal Opinions Heard on the Streets. et Zorld’s ihat go into the Philadelphia lineup are going to count, believe me; and the Athletics will have another champion- ship. : Dennie * Sullivan, formerly captain and first baseman of the Harddigs— Leoks like a mighty even thing to me. Perhaps the Athletics have a shade the best ofgit. John® Shugrue, formerly of the Harddigs—I'm picking the Giants to win on the pitching and their base running. But if the Athletics hit Mathewson, it's all off. John B. Benoit, president of the ‘Eastern Connecticut league—Can’t see anything but the Athletics. 5 Pitcher Ben Houlihan—I'm not pick- ing anyone very much. I'd like to see the Athletics win, but I'm not banking strong on it. Dick Tarrant—All this dope that gives the Giants a chance is pretty Lad stuff. 5 V. Pendleton—I'm a Giant rooter. They’'ve got it on the Athletics on pitchers and the outfield. 2 Joe O'Sullivan—It's a close fight this time, but it looks like the Giants to me, Philadelphia may get two games. Motorman Jack Flynn—The Giants will be there with the goods. 2 Starter John Kinney—New York this time. Here is The Bulletin's dope on the series: As Marquard pitches, so will go the serles. If the Southpaw works right, it looks as if the Athletics might as well not play. The peerless Big Six can be relied upon to do his part, but what about Marquard’s share? In spite of the latter’s remarkable record this vear, which places him at the top of the national league, the sporting-editor of The Bulletin is unable to feel that Marquard is in the dependable class, and for that reason ke picks the Ath- letics to_win the world's championship ag: That and the formidable bat- ting strength of the Athletics. Figures don’'t win baseball games. | but they give the fan at a .distance a | line on some things. Are the Athletics this veqr up against such a very differ- ent proposition than the one when they faced the Chicago Cubs last season? If they are, do the figures show against them or in their favor? Take a look over the following table, which shows some comparative figures between the conditions this year and last: 1911, | 1910. Games ...... Total hits .. = Batting average . Bases stolen Runs ...... Flelding - 961 ‘Whatever differences there are lodok all in favor of the Athletics. New York has only a trifle on Chicago in batting average, and although the Giants stole 338 bases to the Cubs’ 173, the New York tally of runs is only 9 more than 964 963 those made by Chicago. On the ‘other hand, the Philadelphia team of 1911 makes an immeasurable better show- in? in every department than the 1910 team. The present White Elephants made 244 more hits, scored 183 more runs, and stole 25 more bases than the team of 1910. Only on its pitching staff to the Ath- letics fail to measure up to what they showed last year. Bender, then with a record of 23 won, 5 lost, percentage .821, stood first in the American league. FINANCIAL AND COMMERGIAL. AN UPWARD MOVEMENT. Quotations on Ascent in Last Half- Hour of Trading. New York, Oct. 11.—A spirited send- ing up of prices in the last half-hour of trading on the stock exchange to- day carried quotations to a point well | @above the final range of the previous day. The movement was the only one of importance in what was otherwise a listless day. during which the mar- ket manifested no definite tendency in either direction. Union Pacific, South- ern Pacific, Lehigh Valley, Neorthern Pacific,s American Smelting and Amer- ican Beet Sugar rose to a point or more above vesterday's close on the upturn, and Reading, which had been the counspicuously weak feature of the market, recovered its loss. Profit tak- ing sales just before the close reduced these gains somewhat, Concentrated selling ef Reading sent it down from 137 to 135 5-8, less than two points above its low level of the vear. The stock fluctuated irregularly throughout the day. Although the gen- eral market offered effective resistance to this influence, Reading’s unsettle- ment militated against any extended improvement in prices. Trading was moderately active at the outset, but the demand was limited largely to re- quirements for short coverings. Bu ing of this nature soon diminished and in a stagnant condition urtil near the close. The upward movement at the end was at- tributed to the closing out of shert contracts on account of the holiday to- morrow. Reading's weakness while associat- ed with the progress of the anthracite case before the supreme court, proba- bly was due chiefly te pressure by operators who have been persistently bearish in this stock for several davs. The demand for bonds continues to broadcn. Increased activity in the bond depariment of the stock exchange is accompanied by an expansion of the outside market. A number of se- curities whiech had been neglected for a long period became act and strong today. Increased actlvity in bonds, which efter in the past has presaged an expansion the demand for stocks, period of depression, is red garded am= one of the most hopeful of signs for the present situation. Amer- ican Tobacco four per cent. bonds rose to 90, their highest price for the movement, which represented, a gain of 1 5-8 Buying of these bonds was stimulated by reperts that the plan of reorganization had been changed in such a_ way as to benefit holders of these securities.

NATIONAL LEAGU= STANDING. Won Lost. New York Chicag Pittsbu Philadelphia St. Louis Cincinnati Brooklyn Boston .. EVERS PICKS GIANTS TO BEAT ATHLETICS. New York Pitchers Will Hold the Philadelphia Batters. Johnny Evers of Chicago picks the Gianfs &for the world’s series. “The Giants ought to beat Philadelphia with their " pitchers,” is Evers’ argument. “They say Connie Mack’s club beat us easily last fall, which they did not. True, they trimmed us, but their scor- ing was not done until late in the game. Our pitching staff was not at its best, and New York's twirlers are 50 per cent. better than ours were last fall. That is why McGraw should win. Philadelphia is weak against left hand- ed twirlers, and MeGraw is supplied with two of the best in the league, Marquard and Wiltse. Some seem to think he is planning to depend on Marquard and Mathewson, which I do not think is the case. ¥ believe he will give Marquard, Mathewson, Wiltse and Ames all a chance, and look for him to use them in that order. Bender, Coombs, Morgan and Krause have no shade on those flingers. Dropping the pitchers and figuring the batting and speed, there is mighty little to choose on batting. and. if anything, the Giants are to be favored, as the figures show. There is no question the Giants possess the speed, although it is not so wonderful as thought, but nevertheless McGraw’s men are faster than those of Mack’s' club, and when the series is over vou will find T am right. I°do not look for either club to have a snap, but I expect the championship to re- turn to the National league.” HISTORY OF CHAMPIONS. Statistics .of Connie Mack’s Aspirants for World's Title.

New York, Oct. 11.—Happy enthusi- asts were scattered all over New York Ind. T tonight when mail carriers began de- livering the pasteboards which will admit theim fortunate possessors to view the coming series of games in this city. The big clerical force which Secretary Gray of the New York Na- tiona! league club has had at' work making the allotments was §till- busy tonight cleaning up their task and preparing for the open sale of remain- ing seats which will begin tomorrow morning. Few big wagers on the series were reported here up toanight. Hundreds of small bets between friends, how- ever, have been made, for the most part at even money. A party of old ball players has put up $500 against 35,000 that the Giants will win four straight games from the Athletics. The big end of the bet was taken by L. E. Smatlers, acting for a syndi- cate, DRILLING THE GIANTS. McGraw Had His Stars Qut for Real Workout. New York, Oct. 11.—The surface of the big arena at the Polo grounds, where the initial game of the world’s championship series will be played next Saturday, was soaked by & per- sistent sutumnal rain today, and the double-header scheduled between the New Yorks and the Brooklyns had te be postponed. Despite this loss of a chance to_drill his forces, however, Manager McGraw managed to make the afternoon a profitable one in train- ing certain of his best memn for the approaching circle. Those who managed to get a peep behind the inosing steel framework which forms the new grandstand prac- tically encircling the playing space, saw_an interesting exhibition of “Lit- tle Mac’s” methods of schooling ball- players. The ground dried off during the afternoon sufficiently to admit of practice, and McGraw trotted out his principal batteries and put them through their paces, In turn, Mathew- son and Marquard were sent inte the box and while McGraw stood at the plate ‘““Chief” Meyers at the receiving end gave his arm a workout in re- peated throws to sezond. McGraw made the test realistic by stationing a runner on' first and having him go down with the pitch. In a few trials the hig Indian showed that “had the range” after his long rest. He ap- peared to be in fine fettle. The base running was done by ~some of the Giants’ fleetest plavers, with all the conditions of a real game simulated. Neither Marguard, the big leff hand- er, nor Matty over-exerted himself in the rather raw air, but each appeared to be in the pink of condition'.and able to “go the route” when called upon. .DICKINSON SCORES TWICE ON PENN.- ELEVEN. | Each Side Scores Once from Forward Pass. Philadelphia. ~ Oct. 11.—Digkinson college succeeded in scoring twice on the University of Pennsylvania foot- ball team today, the final score being 22 to 10. One of the visitors’ touch- downs was the result of an interceptea forward pass, after which Halfback Dunn sprinted 25 yards without being overtaken. Dickinson’s second touch- down was the result of good football, althdugh it was made in the third pe- riod, when Pennsylvania was using a good many substitntes. Neither goal was kicked.
