LATHROP & SONS {28 Shetucket Street, Norwich, Conn. In fighting their way up from the bottom to the top of the ladder, in at- taining a world’s championship and wresting the honons from fone of tue most powerful machines. that basebail has ever produced, the Boston Braves have done something that was nevcr done in baseball before. Championship teams are seldom made in one or two years' time. It cost McGraw a world of money and a lot of years to get together the teara that in three previous seasons had battled against American league rivais for the world's championship. The great team that the Braves have thus deposed was the product ci seasons of worry and grooming by the shrewd and experienced Connie Mack. Stallings Supreme. But in the short space of two sea- sons Manager George Stallings, now indisputably the greatest manager in baseball, has accomplished such an achjevement and no longer is there any cause for wonder at his title of “Mira- cle Man.” He has produced from a collection of young, and untried base- ball players one of the smoothest and most efficient machines ever known ‘o the great national game, and as a re- sult his triumph is a deserved and pop- ular one. He has set a mark at which rivals will aim in vain. g Credit unlimited is due thé Boston manager, and hardly less is-due the members, of this wonderful - machine which has at last attained the coveted goal. A year ago last spring a motley collection of, youths 'and veterans, gathered at the training camp under the big manager, began to learn the lessons that transformed them from a weak tail end club, to a fighting, cour- ageous aggregation, and ultimately al- lowed them to finish at the head of the second division, a prouder berth than any Boston National team had occu- pled for many years. Will Remain in Annals. ‘When 'Stallings predicted this spring that he would land that same club in the first division no one was disposed to doubt or wonder, for he had already performed one miracle, and Boston fans were eager to see him achieve others. But that he could bring that same team.from the bottom to the top of the ladder, win the league pennant and subsequently rob the Mackmen of the title they had come to regard us their very own, is something that wiil remain forever a tradition of the Na- ** ARGUMENT IS' UNNECESSARY | ‘Every thinking person is alive to the .importance of being insured against “Joss by fire.

Few baseball fans in any part of the country could have believed such a thing possible up to a few short weeks ago. In the early part of the season’s campalgn the BEraves made anvthing but an encouraging showing. The first western trip, one of the gloomiest that any team could have made, brought them back to the South End grounds in the tail end position while Cincin- nati, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh and other teams were making the fight that the ‘Braves had been expected to make. Under any other leader the team would have resigned any hope of the first division, let alone the olaim to a pennant; but Stallings, figuring things out from his daily dope book, a record which showed that almost every one of his defeats had been sustained by one run, bade his minions take heart. The team that could play such con- sistently good ball in the field might vet attain the punch needed. Stallings knew that all that was necessary was a safe hit delivered at the right time. And he began to impress this upon his men. Began the Climb. Beginning with Jply 5, the Braves; then in the eighth position, began to rise. Notch by notch they started to climb. At first no attention was pail to the continual change in standing, but when it came time for the second western trip, and the Braves were flirting with a first division berth, the fans of the country began to sit up and take notice. ' Taking three out of four games from the New York Giants, then comfortably in first position, the Braves went west with little apparent chance of over- taking the clan of McGraw. But the baseball world went mad when with -the second western trip closed the Bos- tons returned to the home grounds tied with New York. The rest of their struggle is well known. How they trimmed the Giants here at Fenway park, then went to New York and repeated the dose until they got such a margin of victory that the contest was settled a week before the season closed. In three months’ time and less they had glimbed from eighth to, first place, mide a record such as few pennant winners have ever achieved, and then, entering the lists against one of the strongest outfits known to baseball, wrested the su- preme title and redeemed the reputa- tion of the National league. HARVARD WILL USE SUB BACKFIELD SATURDAY. Coaches Will Take No Chances of In- juries to Important Players. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 15—Harvard will use a substitute backfield against Tufts next Saturday, it was learned tonight. Injuries to backfield and line men have So seriously affected _the Crimson eleven that the coaches have decided to take no further chance of injuries to important players. The team will face Tufts as follows: ,Coolidge: _left _tackle, R. left guard, Weston; center Soucy; right guard, Withington; right tackle, Trumbull; right end, Weather- head; quarterback, Swigert; left half- back, King; right halfback, Whitney; fullback, McKinloch. The college has been combed by the coaches for material to fill the gaps caused by injuries. Nelson of the track squad, and Parsons of the crew have been impressed for football train- ing and more men are sought. Pennock, the big lineman, expects t6 be able to play in the game against Pennsylvania State October 24 and Logan, the quarterback, is almost in shape ' again, according to Coach Haughton, but the rest ‘of the cripples are still on the hospital list. PA_RKER TO BE CREDITED WITH EQUALLING AMATEUR RECORD. San Francisco Athlete Ran 220 Yards in 21" 1-5 Second. New York, Oct. 15—It was unof- ficially announced here today that George Parker, of the Olympic club, San Francisco, will be credited with having equalled the world’s amateur record of 21 1-5 seconds in a 220 yard dash. He accomplished this during the recent Californian track and fleld championship meet at Fresno, Calif., October 5, when he breasted the tape two feet ahead' of Howard Drew of Springfield, Mass. Chairman Rubien of the record committee of the Ama- teur Athletic Union received official confirbation of Parker's performance from President Willlam Unmack of the Pacific Association today and the re- cord will in all probability be accepted at the next annual meeting of the A.

Champion Freddie Welsh can add a great deal to his popularity by putting up the right kind of a. battle when he meets Leach Cross at the reopening of the Garden in New York. Since Welsh took the title from Willie Ritchie many critics have taken the stand that the sport lost by the change. It is now up to Welsh to show that this is not s0. Remembering_Ritchie's great battie against Cross, it is apparent that the new champion will have to do some good work in order to surpass the old in popular favor. It is not that Welsh is likely to have any trouble outpoint- ing Cross. He has shown that Cross is easy for him when it comes to scor- ing_technical points. What is required of Welsh is that he inject a few thrills into the operation if he expects to send the spectators home pleased with the evening's entertainment. In order to do anything like that it will be necessary for Welsh to show some of the kind of hitting expected of a champion. There is no question that Welsh is a wonderfully clever boxer if good hitting is not counted a necessary part of a boxer's accom- plishments. But if the spectators are not interested in that sort of thing it seems to be up to him to give them what they do want. After all, a cham- pion is merely a professional enter- tainer and he must cater to the de- mand of his patrons if he expeccts to be a success, . WALTER CAMP RESIGNS He was Real Founder of Yale Fin- ancial Union. The resignation has bgen announced of Walter Camp as treasurer of the Yale Financial Union. His retirement is 4 most important step in the history| of Yale athletics. More than any other individual he was the founder and or- ganizer of the financial union and he has been its only treasurer. Until twenty-two years ago every Yale major sport was regarded as an organization by itself and its funds were kept en- tirely distinct. Its relation to the uni- versity was uncertain but, as most branches of Yale athletics had shown only an annual deficit, the university authorities had not been eager to as- sume charge of the problems that arose in connection with them. University sport was more spontaneous and less organized at that period. Universally accepted as Yale's advisor in ail branches of sports, Mr. Camp was in closer touch with the details of the undergraduate athletics and it was left for him to bring about an organization of them into a financial union which united their management and really brought them into direct and complete control by the university. It was Mr. Camp's business sagacity that made Yale athletics economical and efficient and which led to the most practical results from athletics management. shown, it is believed here, in any Am- merican universi GIVES FANS CREDIT. g L b s George Stallings Says Their Loyalty Boosted the Braves. When the Boston club returned from its first Western swing it had made & most disastrous trip, and it looked to ‘be sentenced to last place for the pres- ent season.

At that time I expressed myself that it was the greatest reception ever at- tended a ball club, everything consid- ered, and it was the real turning point to our club. The players discussed it for days in our clubhouse. In our littie meetings it was always brought out. And the players felt that no effort on their part would be too great to materialize the sort of a ball club that was worthy of such a city. To be greeted as we were last Sun- day morning on our return from Phil- adelphia was a climax to the great effort. Batting Figues in Faver of Braves.

Bob Burnham, the Speed King, and Barney Oldfield, who held the titie for years, have engaged in a record duel and both are attacking old Father Time at every opportunity. from Los Angeles to Sacremento, the most notable race of the times, and every finishing position but one in the Los Angeles to Phoenix race attests the success of this California invention. Some time ago an arrangemert was made for a race, or a series of races, between these two drivers, between whom there has ever existed, as a matter of course, the ytmost rivalry, but that meeting was postponed owing to Burman's accidentally breaking a driving shaft which could not be re- paired in time. Now it is probable that ro meeting will occur in a race as Oldfield has announced that he will retire from'the racing after his suc- cessful battle against old Father. Time, having decided after the death of his friend Spencer Wishart at Elgin that enough is enough, and that time is about ripe now to withdraw from the dangerous sport he has followed so successfully for year after year. Both Burman and OldBeld have been in close touch with a Detroit Carbure- ter Corporation, and the wires have been kept going steadily of late with reports of new figures set up in all parts of the country. Old record fig- ures are as nothing before the attacks of these kings of the mile track, the road, the beach, and speedway, and es- pecially around the mile track. Rec- ords never thought possible of breaking to any great extent are falling regu- larly, and an_indication of the great speed that is being made is obtainabla from the record figures of Barney at St. Louis, - September 20. The speed merchant made the mile in 0:44: two miles in 1:27 and five miles in 3:40 1-2. Burman in his battie for records low- ered tho 25-mile to 21:38; the 20-miles to 17:10 3-5 at Springfield, September 19, and on September 12 he annexed the 15-mile mark with a record of 12:47, a considerable cut from 13:30, the old figures. L. C. Erbes of Jack- son, Mich., who is dacking Burman in his racing ventures, belleves that his star will win the honors in the battle. Out in California where racing drivers of note discovered this carbureter or- iginally victories came to its users for first, second ‘and third positions in the Vanderbilt race, second, third and fourth positions in the Grand Prize race, first in the Panama Pacific race Automobiles passing through Dan- bury, ‘are not permitted to drive through the town at night uniess headlights are covered ~or screened.

A motor compapy at Findlay, Ohie, is now _using tents erected near the factory to take care of increased pro- duction, but that additions to the fac- tory are under way which will allow for a still larger production before wanted. The factory has been pro- ducing forty-five cars daily, and it is belleved possible to increase thfs out- put to sixty-five cars even before fhe new factory additions are completed. The automol chambers of com- merce is now on record as favorable to the enactment of legislation similiar to that in effect in Massachusetts and to the regulations recently promulgat- ed in New York by the state highway commissioner; that is, that limit speed of machines weighing six tons or more to twelve miles an hour and of four tons or less than six to fifteen miles an hour, the weight including the load. The directors of the cham- ber are opposed to overload and driv- inz in excess of the speeds stated. The attitude of the directors is based on the bellef that public opinion will be reasonable if there is understand- ing of the facts. To illustrate, the motor vehicle industry is gquite as much interested in the preservation of roads ‘as are the taxpayers them- selves, or the owners of machines, and they are condusting a constant campaign for the development of high- ways, but they, maintain that the pas- sage of laws designed to protect the inadequate roads and bridges at the expense of the natural development of the econgmilcal haulage by power ve- hicles, will only react to retard the really necessary improvement of the highways.
