While a few ‘were staged last week, the of- ee ee Se SES REET who has been selected by Herr Druzinman to head the social committee which will welcome Mr. Ridley home next Wed- nesday at the Arena. The pe- culiar part about Joe's job is that he only has to shake hands twice during the eve- ning. Matchmaker Nate Druxinman has announced Army Welch will be one of the battlers appearing in his semi- windup event at the Arena show Wednesday night. Druxinman ts dickertng by tele ‘| graph with Chet McIntyre, who ts In Vancouver with Tiny Herman, for Clem Zukownki to meet Welch.

Harry Casey and Young Zuru will ppear in the other semi-windup. re will be two curtain raisers to be announced later. Both Ridley and Harper, who will appear in the double main eventa, are packing the Austin and Salt «ym afternoons, and today will take on all comers in their workouts, THOMAS WHIPS JAP SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2—Fa “Spec” Ramea, of Ban Franciaco, left handed his way to an easy win over Jimmy Brenton, los An- feles bdantamweight, here last night. “Dummy” Thomas took a close decision from Togo Kortyaima, Japanese, of San Francisca, GAMBLING ‘The baseball public ts much concerned with exposures of gambling on the diamond. t ian’t that betting te prominent at the ball parks, but that ft creeps, that the medium of the tobacco shop and the pool room, into the playing field. It has been charged that players have been paid to “throw games, that is, to play so poorly Gambling well-nigh killed their team will lose the contest. horee-racing, boxing and wrestling. Hitherto | it has been kept out of baseball, the nation’s greatest out door sport. It must be kept out or the game loses its support with the public However, it is foolish to expect owners, managers and players to bear all the burden of ousting gambling. They can do but little; they may remain honest and play the game to win. No “fan” will blame them. then, for what gambling is done tn cigar stores and pool rooms, And no baseball enthusiast will remain away from the games because downtown gamblers are betting on the result—if they know the game is being played to win. Any city police force can break up the downtown gambling system. that ig Necessary ts the police desire to clean out these betting nests. Baseball ‘gambling is merely another word for police inefficiency or cor ruption, or both. MONEY PLAYERS COME THRU IN PINCH SNYDER A good ball player is one thing. A money player is something else. There are both money ball clubs and money ball players. You can spot them any day in the al manac when there's something at stake. A star performer may carry & high batting average opposite name. He may have but few mis takes recorded in his fielding fig- ures, His workmanship, both on the offense and defense, may ’ spectactlar and brilliant, but he cracks in the critical* pinch plays he doesn’t qualify for a money ball player. THREE OF 'EM You can lay your finger on the freatest money players today with- out much skipping around thru the averages. How about Larry Gardner of the Indians? How about Harry Hooper of the Red Sox? How about Eddie Collins of the White Sox? That’s the gang as they stand to- day. When a play comes up to them on which rests the outcome of a battle they'll deliver the goods. If a hit is needed to score the winning run they'll crack it out nine times out of ten. If a bit of super-fielding will save a game they rise to the occasion, . LARRY GARDNER The most dangerous man at the bat in the American league right now is this fellow they call Larry Gardner. Ask any pitcher in the cir- cult who they would rather face in a tight hole—Babe Ruth, the sock- ing terror, or Larry Gardner, the famed Clevelander, who is like a gold bond when there’s a panic on Wall street. They'll answer Larry without even emitting a hiccough. During the Indians’ September drive toward the house that Jack Pennant built Gardner has showed his money-playing tendencies in big bank rolls, Eddie Collins fg fast as brilliant as ever, any way you: take him. Dangle the old bank roll in front of him and he’ll play his head off to get results. Eddie has been in stx world serien and he knows just what pennant baseball means in terms of gold figures. Gardner has been in three and he is just as keen for the lucre, HARRY HOOPER As for Harry Hooper ef Boston, he’s not getting a chance to play for big money series this fall, but he | stands out Just the same. When he - | stands. comes to the bat with # hit neces sary to drive in the winning run a sudden tenseness comes over the “Ah! It's Whooper up! Ah Ooper, Oopert Ah! ah!” you'll hear them whisper. And “Whooper” gen- erally gets a base on balls or healthy base-knock. ‘That great star, Christy Mathew. won, perhaps deserves the name of 1903—Cy Young, Red Sox pitcher. He won three out of the five games from the Pirates. 1905—Billy Gilbert, Giant second baseman. Supposedly a weak hitter, he drove in a majority of his team's runs against the Athietica. 1906—George Rohe, substitute tn. fielder, who played third base for the White Sox. He won two games from the Cubs with threebagfers. 1907—Miner Brown and Ed Reul bach, Cub pitchers. 1908—Brown, Reulbach and Orvie Overall, Cub pitchers. 1909—-Babe Adams, Pirate pitcher. 1910 —- Eddie Collins, Athletics’ second baseman, and Jack Coombe, 1911 — Frank Baker, Athletics’ third baseman, whose home runs de feated the Giants. 1912—Tris Speaker, Red Sex cen- ter fielder, by his batting and Harry Hooper, Red Sox right fielder, by his fielding, featured the victories over the Gianta. 1913—Baker, by his hitting, and Chief Bender and Eddie Plank, Ath- leticw’ pitchers, defeated the Giants. 1914 — Hank Gowdy, Braves’ catcher, batted his team to victory over the Athletics. Dick Rudolph was the star @itcher of the Braves. 1915—Duffy "Lewis, Harry Hooper and Tris Speaker, the Red Sox out- field, defeated the Phillies by their batting and fielding. 1916—Larry Gardner, Red Sox third baseman, was chiefly instru- mental In defeating the Dodgers by his batting. SOUTHERN TEAMS STARTED SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.—Al- tho a bit slow getting started, the Pacific Coast football season was gaining a little momentum today. Southern California made its start with one game scheduled. Pomona plays the University of California southern branch at Claremont. It was to be the “mystery game” of the day for Pornona has been some- thing of an unknown quantity in Pre-season dope and this was the first time the University of Call- fornia southern branch had sent a football tearn onto the field. In northern California the day's schedule was spoiled by an attack of fever or indigestion hitting the Santa Clara college squad and fore- ing cancellation of the University of California-Santa Clara game set for this, afternoon. The Mare Island naval base team will meet the Berkeleyites instead. This will make the St. Marys-Stan- ford game at Palo Alto the big game of the day. The only game scheduled tn the Northwest today is a practice game between Washington State College and the Army team at Camp Lewis. SCHMUTZ WILL PITCH Auburn, Valley champions, will play Arlington, Big Six pennant win- ners, in the second of & three-game series at Auburn park Sunday. Au- burn won the first game.

Allison {a more pleased with the looks of the men in practice now than he has ever been befora A fow of the men have been hurt in scrimmage, but their lose is not noticeable. Compettion ta keener for ptaces tn both the line and backfield on the varsity thie year than ever before At present no man, not even Cap tam Ted Faulk, is assured that he will be among the eleven men who trot out on the field to start the Whitman game a week from today. Erve Dailey continues to improve in his backfield work. Football critics eaid that Dailey was prob ably the best that he ever would be last season, but the former captain improves right along, and if any- body stands a chance in the back- field, it is “Crum.” Larry Smith, the former Broad way high school boy, and letterman from last year’s varsity, looms up| above the other candidates for the! center position. Judging from the| way that Coach Allison uses him, he) stands & good chance of holding his | regular job down thru the season. | “Moose” Gamwell, the big tackle candidats, continues to distinguish himself in practice by his scrappy work.

Norris has not had @ chance to display his wares in scrimmage as yet, on account of the bad shoulder. Young Ray Eckmann continues to keep himself in the limelight by his flashy playing.

The Frosh were divided into two lines, and went against. each other, trying to force open holes for the imaginary back: Besides the line work the practice last night consisted mostly of punt- ing, passing and tackling.

It is scheduled for tonight “BABE” UNHURT MERIDEN, Conn., Oct. 2—“Babe” Ruth sustained scratches when a roadster which he was driving col- lided with a truck on the New Haven trunk highway while en route to Springfield late yesterday.

BACKSTOPS BY HENRY L, FARRELL NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Cleveland is poor place to sell “Schalk stock.” Try to tell any of the Forest City fans that the plucky Chicago catcher is the best backstop in baseball and you'll be as popular as one of the “White Sox eight.” It is generally conceded, however, that Schalk and O'Neill are the best catchers in baseball BIG 40B The position behind the plate is) one of the greatest importance in & world series. In practically all of the baseball clasgics of recent years a star catcher has been a big fac tor in the victory--Hank Gowdy, for Instance, tn 1914, and others, including Kling, Bresnahan, Schang, Carrigan and Schalk. In the catching department Cleve- land bas it all over Brooklyn, as the National league champions are weaker behind the bat than the ordinary pennant winning team. Krueger and Miller, who do the bulk of the work for Uncle Robby, are fair receivers, but they suffer by comparison with the great O'Neil. HITS 326 The Chunky Irish Indian has had one of the greatest seasons of his career this year, He is bat- ting around .326. He ts a,deadly shot to the bases and a wonder at blocking at the plate and a brainy worker, Krueger and Miller are only fair batters—the former .289 and the latter .282, Neither one can ap proach the class of O'Neill in throw- ing or handling pitchers. In reserve the Indians have Nu- namaker and Chet Thomas, two veterans who have been all around the circuit and have scen their best days.

OLD MANAGER HEARTBROKEN SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.—"Aw, I'm broken hearted—I don’t want to talk about it,” was the saddened comment of Danny Long on the Chi- cago baseball scandal. Danny has taken the matter to heart for it was while he was mana- ger of the San Francisco Coast league club that Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver, Fred McMul- Un, Hal Chase and Bill Burns won their spurs and left the local club to Join the majors. “I sent most of those fellows back there,” Long added. “They were just promising infants when I got them first and I watched them grow.
