Both the Phillies and the Red Sox have eight twirlers who can be called to the mound by Managers Moran and Carrigan, but it is likely that not more than haif this force of hurlers will be started during the se- ries which begins late this week. The Phiilies’ pitching staff includes Alexander, Demaree, McQuillen, Rixey, Chalmers, Meyer, Tincup and Baum- gartner. 'The Red ‘Sox hurling_force igcludes Foster, Leonard, Ruth, Shore, ‘Wood, Gregg, Collins and Hays. Sev- eral of these pitchers have not figured to any extent in the general season's play and itis ble that their names will not be fourd in the box scores ‘when the final reckonings are made for the series of 1915. Those most likely. to go' to the mound as National league representatives are Alexander, Dema. ree, Mayer, McQuillan, Rixey and Chalmers, while the American league pitchers will undoubtedly be selected from Foster, Leonard, Ruth, Shore, ‘Wood and Gregs. Alexander Moran's Trump Card. In considering the strength of the pitching departments of the Phillies and Red Sox it is ‘therefore necessary to analyze the all round ability of the sextettes named. An unusual difficulty is encountered at the very beginning, since it {s conceded that Alexander will be used in from two to three of the first four games, depending upon the order of play.

An Early Decline Was Checked by Improvement Shown by Railways. New York, Oct. 5.—Reactionary ten’ dencies were uppermost _throughout today’s session, despite the making of some new high records in the war shares. It was this partioular group, however, ‘which ‘manifested ‘Increased heaviness and the susceptibflity of these issues to adverse _influences— mere rumors, in _fact—demonstrated anew the artificlal and speculative cheracter of the movements in this class of stocks. Selling of many of these issues were resumed at' the outset, the decline being in the natire of & continuation of yestefday's late operations. The early decline ‘Was soon checked, main. 1y as a resuit of the improvement shown by raflways, but even this maroeuver failed of effect, a second decline setting in gefore noon. During the mid-session prices were @gain lifted, in_some Instances ris- ing over thelr first recovery, but all these gains were wiped out later on the circulation of reports of an accl- dent to an American war vessel. This caused another and more . hurried scramble to unload, such issues as Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible Steel, General Electric, Westinghouse, Beth- lehem Steel, Continental Can and sev- eral of the motor shares breaking five to fifteen points from their high quo- tations of the previous hour and bring- ing the average level well below yes- terday’s final prices. When it was learned that the acci- dent consisted of nothing more than & minor explosion on a torpedo boat in home waters, prices- immediately retrieved a part of their loss, only to go still lower in the final hour. The selling of that period was accelerat- ed by activity on the present short in- terest, which recognized the hollow {tone of the market and made the most ot _the situation. ¢ Liquidation was most extensive in the later dealings and support was Jukewarm at best. The outcome re- sulted in the closing of numerous marginal acccunts and to that regree the market now presents a stronger technical aspect. Total sales amount- ed to 1,175,000 shares. Among the new records made while prices were at their best when Bethle- hem Steel, up 5 1-2 to 400 1-2; Gen- eral Motors 5 to 365 and Continental Can 11 1:4 to 127.

Alexander's pitching. average for the season is more than 200 points higher than any of the other Philadelphia club twirlers. Taking the six named and averaging their records for. the season, gives a team pitching average of .541. These flgures do not repre- sent the strength of the Phillies, how- ever, it Alexander is used in, say three of a'possible six games. Under such.a schedule the average would be . in- creased more than 100 per cent., and Moren is too shrewd a manager to overlook any such increase in strength.

J ped, and in many against the batters of the rival com- bination as they were against the bat- ters of .their own league, the averages show that Alexander outranks all the Red Sox boxmen except Wood, and it is not at all certain that the latter will be called upon to work in the coming serles. On the other hand, the American league hurlers will have a decided ad- vantage in every game in which they are not opposed by Alexander. Foster, Leonard, Ruth and Shore have a grand pitching average of .712.aecording to the latest unofficial ~figures, which, aided by the hitting and airtight field- ing of the Red Sox, should be sufficient to overcome the performances of the Phillies' second - string _pitchers. Against Alexander, however, their suc- cess remains to be demonstrated. As cases olled. Some of them are 50 feet in width, with fences on each side. As an instance of the quick- drying qualities of these roads, on the 6th of July the Lincoln highway car- avan passed through a severe storm lasting for eome hours; yet they did not stop .and in less than six hours after the storm ceased, dust was fly- ing and chains were no longer nect siry This was due, no doubt, to the fact that two or three hours after the deluge farmers were at work dragging the roads. Tourists who do not like to travel on muddy roads, need only wait four or five hours and the roads will be dry again. In spite of the erroneous reports as to road conditions many people are making the transeontinental trip. One day the official cars passed 25.trans- be witnessed by 45,000 persons, Presi- dent Joseph J. Lannin of the Boston Americans announced tonight. Careful checking up of the capacity of Braves fleld, he said, had shown that this number could be cared for without inconvenience. About 5,000 persons will be allowed to stand, either in the rear of the grandstand, or’ behind a fence to_be erected in right field. sident Lannin expressed the be- lief fhat few, if any of the thousands of persons who have applied for re- served seats would be disappointed. It was his desire, he sald, to take care of everyone and 25,000 seats were set aside for reservation.

Charles A. Bradiey is the man and he has had many visitors to his place, just beyond the Pond Lily laundry, on the state rond, to see his new touring car busily sawing a cord of wood per hour. Mr. Bradley, it developes, did the same thing some years ago with an old car but to put a brand new machine on ‘the job is something new, yet he declares it in no way is a etrain on the car and does not even cause exces- sive tire wear.

" Cloctusatl Connally, _ Heston batters, all these boxmen far surpass their Philadelphia rivals, but the field- ing figures show that the Phillies have a slight advantage in this respect. Whatever Alexander may be called upon to do, it appears almost certain that Foster. Leonard, Ruth and Shore, as first string men who have taken their regular turn in the box during the season, will_bear the brunt of the boxwork, since Wood, Gregg and Col- lins have been used but occasionally this year, and Mays almost entirely as a reiief pitcher. It is thought in the Boston baseball circles that the first four will be the' only pitchers to start 10date applications for smaller allot- ments and some were refused because of indications that they were intended for specul lative purposes. It is Pres- ident Lannin’s opinion that the spec- ulative element will figure very little in the disposition of seats this year. Americans Take First Game.
