Students Cheer When nounced That Former Giants Wuuld Not Favor Rnb_bins; President Hempstead Says They Wanted to Defeat Brooklyn of All Other Clubs—Crux of Whole Season’s Work Rest- L o = New York, Oct. 4—President H. N. Hempstead of the New York National League club, after commenting on the record of the 26 consecutive victories recently established by his team, said in_a_statement_issued_today: fter any tremendous effort put forth in any line of endeavor there is for a certainty a letdown among men It followed our first' winning streak of 17 straight games and the same thing undoubtedly occurred after our last. “Due to the unusual standing of the clubs at the beginning of the Brook- lyn series,” Hempstead continued, “the crux of the whole year’s play seemed to center upon the Giants winning or losing to the Brooklyns. If we beat Brooklyn four straight, Philadelphia might win the pennant, if we lost Brooklyn would win the pennant and it was much talked about that the Giants must win the’ games because if they did not the public would feel that the team wanted Brooklyn to win. Many of my personal friends spoke to me of this last week and said we must win all four games. “It was no wonder, therefore, that with this burden to carry that Mr. McGraw yesterday, during the game, was much upset by the loose playing of the team, because apparently the burden was all on his shoulders due to his former intimate relations with Manager Robinson. If, however, I was asked to nominate any one club that Mr. Graw would rather have beaten I rtainly would have picked Brooklyn.

Boston, Oct. 4—Manager Carrigan of the Boston American League base- ball team put his men through a light workout this afternoon ‘on Braves Field, the home of the Boston National club, where the world’s series games in this city are to be played. The squad was divided into two teams and ten innings were played. No attempt was made to keep score. All the reg- ular pitchers were sent in to work for an inning or two ,and batters were given plenty of opportunity to hit the ball in order to accustom the fielders to judging fly balls in the sunlit spaces and the shadows of the park. Captain Barry was second baseman of one of the teams, but his injured hand is still weak and it is not be- lieved that he will figure in _the world’s serles. Janvrin, who has been at second in Barry's absence, is ex- pected to play the position. Tomorrow a team of Red Sox play ers will go to Worcester, where the: will have a benefit game with the Phil- adelphia American League team. The proceeds will be turned over to the memorial fund for John H. Gaffney, a former National League umpire. Cap- tain Barry will have charge of this team, which will be composed largel of substitutes. Manager Carrigan 11 give the regular team another light workout tomorrow afternoon.

LEE AXWORTHY MAKES NEW WORLD'S MARK. Trots a Mile in 1.59 1-2 When Trying to Break Track Record, iy Lexington, Ky., Oct. 4—One world’s record and two season records were broken at the third day of the Ken- tucky Horse Breeders’ association meeting here today. The world's rec- ord .was broken when Lee Axworthy, 2.00, in an effcrt to break the track record of 2.02 for, trotting stallions, made by Peter Volo Jast year, lowered his own world's. record 1o 1.59 1 2. Lucile Spier, the world’s champion mare on a ha!f mile track, ‘went to beat 2.05, and trotted the mile in 2.03 1-4, which is' the season’s mark for trotting mares, and Roan Hal, in win. ning the Board of Commerce stalke for 2.00 pacers, went the second mile ifl 2.06 3-4, which is also the season’s mark for pacing geldings. All the races today were decided by straight heats. Lee Axworthy’s per- ance was the sterling effort of the k. The son of Guy AXworthy never faltered his mile, maintaining his speed until he reachéd the wire, al- though for an instant he showed signs of tiring at the sixteenth pole, . His fastest quarter was the thirg, vhich he trotted in 28 3-4 seconds. A stifft wind almost full up the stretch hindered him in the last quarter. The champion was paced by two runners. In ‘the Board of Commerce stake, Single G., the favorite, was off to a bad start in the opening heat and fin- ished second, Roan Hal winning the heat handily. Roan Hal also won the second and deciding heat, easily again beating Single G., who finished second in this heat. Third money went to Judge Ormond and fourth to Braden Direct. Harry J. S. was never in danger in winning the 2.11 trot. Baron Robin- hood, a three year old, tock second money. Vanko captured third money and The Woodman fourth. Little Frank D. took the 2.12 pace without serious competition, Hal Leaf getting second money, Crystal Night third and Coastal L. fourth. Zomrect won the Limestone after two hard heats. Two of the get of Bingaras, Brescia and Ox Brisac, finished second and fourth, respective- ly, Miss Pinkerton taking third money. Uhlan, 153, champion trotter of the world, was shown under saddle. stake MICHIGAN CRUSHES MARIETTA IN OPENING GAME. Captain Maulbetsch, Sparks and Ray- mond Figured in Scoring. Ann_Arbor, Mich., Oct. 4.—Univer- sity of Michizgan won the .opening game of its football season here to- day, easily defeating Marietta (Ohio) college, 33 to 0. Coach Yost of Micr gan made numerous substitutions dur- ing the game, getting nearly his entire squad in action before the contest ended. Michigan’s ground gaining was done ihrough continuous hard smash- ing assaults upon the Marietta line with Captain Maulbetsch, Sparks and Raymond taking turns at, scoring. Marietta used open plays throughout and successfully executed a number of short passes. Their numerous at- tempts at long ones, however, failed. AMERICAN LEAGUE LEADS IN SERIES BY ONE SERIES. } Although Outplayed the Nationals Have Won More Games. The World’s Series of 1916, the twelfth under the auspices of the Na- tional Baseball commission, finds the American League leading in the race for premier baseball honors by the narrow margin of one series, so that a victory by the National League rep- resentatives would tie the standing at series all. Going back to 1905, en the New York Nationals defeat- ed the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one in a series in which ev- ery game was a shut-out, the Ameri- League standard bearers have won series and the Nationals five. Although outplayed in the series to date the National League teams have won more games and scored more runs than their American League rivals, when the cleven series are consider- ed as a whole. From 1905 to 1915 the two pennant winners of the major leagues have met annually in a Se- ries of World’s Championship games, the winner of the title to be the team which first wins four games out of the seven yearly scheduled. Up to the present time but one team has won four games straight, the hold- ers of this unique record belongs to the Boston Nationals or 1914 which de- feateq the Philadelphia Athletics four times in a row and thus brought about the breaking up of what many consider the greatest baseball ma- chine in the history of the game. The N York Nationals and the Boston Americans figured in the longest se- ries when they played eight games in 1912, Boston winning four; New York three and one game being a tie. “In 1907 the Chicago Nationals defeated the Detroit Americans four games straight but the series consisted of five games, the first being a tie at 3 to 3 when darkness halted the play. Comparing the work of the teams In the series to date it will be found that i one games have been played of which the National League clubs have won thirty; the Americans twenty- nine, with two games tied. The total number of runs scored in these six- ty-one games amounted to 412 of which the National League teams have accounted for 210 and the Americans 202. The averages for the series are as follows: Games per series 5 6-11; runs per series, 27 6-11; runs per game 6 3-4° For the Natlonal League 169 play- ers have participated m the contests to 159 for the junior league. The least number employed was in the 1905 se- ries when the Athletics used twelve and the Giants eleven. In 1912 and 1915 a total of thirty-four took part; each contender in those vears putting seventeen on the-fleld. The 1905 se- ries also holds the record for the least number of runs scored the total for the five games being but eighteen. The greatest number of runs made cama in the play between the Pittsburgh Nationals and the Detroit Americans, the two teams ccllecting a total of six- ty-two runs in seven games. RED SOX HAVE VETERAN COMBINATION The¢ American 'League representa- tives in the coming World’s Series will be a veteran combination in every sense of the word both in pennant and series championship play. In age and experience the Boston Americans are veterans who have been tried and proved winners in many a hard fought league and World's Series. Taking the players on the club roster and without regard to those who will or will_not fikure in the battles with the National League standard bearers, it will be found.that their average age is twenty-seven and a half years and thelr average years in’ professional baseball a_trifie over seven. So far as their physical-statistics are con- WONDERFULLY GREAT. CIGARETTES What doesZI|RAprove when you invest your nickel in them? That they are honestly better.

Strange as it may appear but one plaver hails from Boston, the remain- der of the team coming from all parts of the count¥y to form the champion- ship combination which won the American League pennant after one of the hardest fights in the history of the junjor league. The one player who can really call Boston his home The other in the title as members of the play Red Sox, and to share in the conse- quent reward, come from places wide- ly separated, many of them in corners of the land lifted to publi¢ notice only by the appearance of their citizeng as members of a World’s Sehies contending team. The American League champion Red Sox of 1916 resemble closely the team which won the world’s champion.. ship last year, but. have ;‘lon three more of the small remaining group which triumphed over the Giants for the title in 1912. Speaker is gone, Ray Collins, the left-handed pitcher, has passed, Joe Wood, ‘“smoke-ball” pitcher of other days, is under sus- pension hecause of salary differences.
