In the opening game Alexander onut- pitched Ragan, who worked for seven innings, and Allen, who twirled one inning. Alexander held Boston to three hits and resistered his 16th shutout of the ceason. Only one vis ing player got past first base. Whitted scored in the second inning o double, Cravath's sacrifice and us’ double. Killifer scored the other run in the £fth inning. He doubled, went to third by beating Ragan's throw to Smith on_Alexander’s bunt, end tallied when Byrne bunted and was tnrown out by Ragan. In the second game Demaree op- posed Reulbach for seven and Bender twirled the last two innings, the In- dian not being scored on. Reulbach pitched better ball than Demaree, but errors by the latter's teammates help- ed the visitors to two of their runs. In the first inning Snodgrass singled and Maranville was safe on Stock’s fumble. Wilhoit’s liner to Stock resulted in a double play. Konetchy singled, send- ing Maranville to third, and Maran- ville scored whiie Konetchy was being run out between first and second. Philadelphia’s run_was scored in the second inning. Whitted walked, took second on Cravath's single and scored on two force out plays at second base. Boston took the lead in the sixth when Snodgrass scored on his single, Maranville's sacrifice, Luderus’ throw- ing to second too late to catch Snod- grass. an out, and Konetchy’s single. With two out in the seventh, Gowdy walked and Reulbach was hit by a pitched ball. Snodgrass got a single when his grounder bounced over Stock’s head, Gowdy scoring, while Reulbach crossed the plate when Whit- ted threw wild to third base.

In only the first inning was the veteran twirler in danger, then with the bases full and two out, he fanned Kauff. A sensational running catch by Cutshaw with Holke on third in the seventh, with two out, saved a run.

While it is unlikely that new rec- ords will be established for either at- tendance or receipts in the coming world’s series it is certain that both players and magnates will profit to a considerable extent - when the booi are balanced at the end of the con flict. Taking the attendance of the past few years and striking an aver- age on the basis of six games, it will be seen that close to 175,000 spectators can be counted upon to witness the play. In' the eleven serles to date under the control of the National Baseball Commission, the total attendance has reached the remarkable figure of 1,- 35,918 and the total gate receipts 32 485,634, which gives an average charge of admission of about $1.60 per head. Assuming that the attendance at the coming series will reach an aggregate of-something like 175,000 the gross re- ceipts will total $280,000. Should title be won in four games strai or even in a five-zame series the | receipts would necessarily be smaller. Under the rules of the National Commission the gross gate receipts are divided in the following manner: The National Commission receives 10 | per cent. of the receints of every game | played; of the remaining 39 per cent the players receive 60 per cent. for | the first four games and the club owners 40 per cent. After four zames have been contested the players cease to participate in the financial rewards and the magnates take the entire gate less the 10 per cent. paid to the com- mission. Under a comparatively recent ruling of the major league, the club owners of the teams competing in the world’s eries are obliged to divide twenty- five per cent. of thelr profits among the other clibs of thelr league. In addition the club authorities bear all { the expenses of the series including ticket printing, transportation and ho- tel charses for the players, grounds attendants, ushers, hire of bands and a score of minor expenses. The record attendance and receipts of the world’s series is held at pres- ent by the 1912 contest when the New York Nationals and the Boston Ameri- cans played an eight-game series in which the Red Sox won four; the Giants three, with the second game a tie at 6-6. In this series the total 251,901 and the gate refeipts $490,449. The Chicago Nas tionals-Detroft American games in 1908 form the other extreme for the aggregate attendance was but 62,232 for five games and the receipts $34,- 975. atigndance wa REDS THINK A LOT OF MATTY Cincinnati Players Sing Praises of the Big Six. ‘When Father Time laid his viselike clutch on_the .sturdy shoulder of Christy Mathewson ~ he halted the career of the greatesf, grandest pitcher the game of baseball has know. For years Matty stood at the top, head and shouders above all of his contem- poraries. He played the game fairly, squarely, all_the way—all the time: And not the least tribute to his great- ness was ~that . deliberate cunning which gets us one and all in the end. Mathewson has graduated from the ranks to a position of command. One great question is on the lips of every sport lover of the land: “Will the grand old master' make good as a manager?” This 18 not a question of idle curiosity. It touches something close to the heart—as close as friend- ships and kin and home; yea, even re- ligion itself. Mathewson may not yet be thrown into the scales of manggerial ujdg- ment. The future holds the verdict. But in the meantime his friends and admirers the country over—they run the gamut of life's scale from steel king amd merchant price to the tow- headed urchin of yarn ball crossroads fame—hope and pray that he will never fail. ¥ Beloved by Players.

By SOL METZGER. (Coach of Washington and Jefferson Football Team.) Football ¢alls for perfection in so ny departments of play that a coach often finds himseif at a loss to place his hand on the most import- ant. In detail play fundamentals stand out above all else; in team play the work of the forwards—the rush line from end to end—on both offense and defense, is the turning point be- tween victory and defeat. They are the stone wall of defense; the steam roller of offense. One may go far into football his- tory and he will invariably find that the great elevens have been marked by aggressive linemen. The line must bear the brunt of the opponent’s at- tack. On offense it has made all the so-called All-American backs. Prec- ious few of them ever made ground carrying the ball without the cgoper- ation of their forwards. Indeed, it is one of the misfortunes of sport that proper credit is not given in football to the men who clear the way for the winning touchdown or who, in turn, prevent the other eleven from scor- ing. THe average football follower is prone to praise the backs too highly. This is. because their work is more open and more easily seen. Even before each season every coach is told countless times about the star backs who will try for the team. While it is consoling to know thnat such men will be on the squad, defeat is the por- tion, no matter what their ability if the line is not up to standard. The back has not been born who can con- sistently galn ground if his forwards do not make his openings. For ex- ample, there was Mercer, a Pennsyl- vania captain, as fine a back as the game ever saw. Yet one year his work was apparently so weak he was delug- ed with criticism. Mercer was actual- ly as good that year as ever. The differenice was with the forwards. Mad they been up to standard Mercer would have been ranked where he be- longed—as one of the game's greatest backs. Take the case of Garrels, of Mich- igan. . Although powerful, fast, ag- gressive and as ideal a back as ever played, he was helpless in 1996 against the superior Quaker rush line. And Harvard! In the old days the Crim- son produced backs without end, equal to any in the land, but until Haughton came and brought the line up to stand- ard Harvard failed in its big tests. He is a wise coach who gives atten- tion to his line. That perfected —- mediocre backs can gain ground. The forwards are the vital part of the ma- chine. They supply the power. On attack, they must dispose of the first line of defense 5o the runmer and his interference—-the backficld—may get by the line of scrimmage without check and at full speed. Then, anc then only, is consistent rushing pos- sible. On_ defense, the just the opposite. lnemen must do They must either break through the opposing line or charge it back into the oncoming play. This check$ and delays the attack behing ¢he line of scrimmage and per- mits the @efenstve backs—the second- ary llne of defense—to come forward to their aid and tackle the runner either before he gets going at full speed or before he crosses the line of scrimmage. Thus is an offense spolled. In addition to these two main re- quisites a line should: (1) form some of the interference for (2) do most of the tackling and inter- fering on punts and kick-offs; and (3) take over the bulk of the placement kicking. These forwards are gener- ally the most stolid members of the team and therefore are not of as nev- ous a temperament as the lighter and more highly strung backs. Thus they are likely to prove less excitaple when & goal-from-touchdown means the game. The speciator at will better apreciate the scheme of things if he: gives attention to the two lines’ of scrimage. He will often find cne man playing against two and overcoming them. In fact, at the point of attack, two players and even more a football game are often sent against the defensive lineman in _order to bowl him out of the way of the play. Hence, this one defensive forward must not only out- paly and outcharge these two ovpon- ents to be successful in the one play, but he must also break through them, from time to time, to stop the attack behind the line of scrimmage. The ers who do this certainly deserve as much praise as the backs for on them rests the burden of the game, and those who say there is no skill in football should think over the matter of cne lineman on defense meeting & attack aimed at him and stopping it. As defense in football comes first, defensive play is first taught the for- wards. The defensive lineman tak a position on the line of srimmage and never back of it, unless he be a roving center, so he can charge for- ward swift and low. His position Is not unlike that of a sprinter at the start of a race. His legs are kept un- der him in order to utilize his power- ful thigh muscles in charging and his body should incline forward and be slishtly higher at the shoulders with his head always raised so he can see the attack as he drives forward to meet it. Throughout his charge his body should remain in relatively the same position as at the start In order to have him meet all plays low. It he goes high 'he i swept aside. In charging on defense he is permitted Jto use his hands and he should use them in driving back opponents and in_keeping itheir Bodies from getting against him.." ©nce that is done he is body-blocked and out of the play. In defense the lineman takes the same position as on defense. As he cannot use his hands his object is to charge under the defensive forward playing against him and then raise him up as he drives him ba Most linemen have taree big faults to overcome. (1) They charge too high and are carrled out of the play. (2) They put their heads down and do not get into. the play because they cannot see what is being done.
