World’s Series Misplays Cut More Figure Than the Plays By Monty. X TEW YORK, Oct. 19.—He who opines that the victory of the Red Sox over the Giants in the greatest of all world’s series, lust ended, was not clean-cut. arned and deserved, hardly can ’al! himself a true student of base ball, of the underlying principles of the game, of the foundation upon ■a hich it is built. Baseball is horn not only of great ats and grasped opportunities, but so nf the obverse thing—the re aming from mistakes and talent ■ prevent the throwing away of pportunities. Because of superior ipacity to rise to the occasion hen crucial situations presented hemselves—times when the game hinged upon the perfect, or imper fect. consummation of each play th- Red Sox triumphed, are the "grid's champions today and have i oved themselves worthy of the title. The MISTAKES that were made P.ayed a much more : portant part •n the final result than did the TREAT DEEDS. The latter, of curse, figured prominently as they 1 in every kind of a contest, but in ■ eases where some single event termined the victor in a game. ■ tat event almost every time was a stake by somebody. One glar ing exception to this general rule as seen in the third game of the -les. the play-off of the second day's tie. in Boston. It was one of tap most remarkable catches of all t me. by Josh Devore, that not only -cued Rube Marquand and the (Hants from defeat, but turned the Impending disaster tight-about f;c‘e into the one most glorious tri umph of the series. But. take the other games in o: - ■ «r and see v. her- the reverse sort of events turned the tide in the Red Sox direction.

With Speaker k’lied at home and Gardner fanning, the side would have been retired runless. Then in the seventh, after two were out, Meyers could have caught Hooper s foul, had he tried a trifle harder, and the three runs that came afterward never would have materialized. The second game, the tied slug ging match In Boston in which Mathewson opposed Collins, Hall and Bedient. would have been a Giant victory had the New York veteran's support made just one less error. Five runs were let in by Fletcher's juggling and one by Wil son's muff at the plate. All six Red Sox runs scored through Giant errors. In the fourth game at New York, which was lost by a 3 to 1 score, a wild pitch by Tesreau was the first important miscue. It was In the second inning, with Gardner on third, and he scored. In the fourth round Meyers’ poor throw to sec ond allowed Stahl to steal. He got to third on Wagner's out, and scored on Cady’s infield hit. If Meyers' throw’ to second had been true there would have been no run here. Battle number five was a tough one for Mathewson to lose. Cap tain Doyle’s bobble in the third sent Giant hopes to never-never land. Hooper had tripled and then Yerkes dittoed for the first run. Steve was on third, when Speaker pushed a tame grasser at Doyle. The lat ter allowed it to go right under him, and Yerkes registered. As for the last game, ft was tossed away bv New York, after Mathewson had won it time and again. The misplay by Snodgrass in the closing inning settled it be yond all question. No need to go further. Already enough is said about the dark side of the series, enough to show its significance in the whole. There also were the Boston errors, both of hand and heart and mind, some of them calamitous, some of them not. The thing that stands out foremost, the first thing any spec tator of the whole series thinks of. is the excellent quality of fight shown by all hands, and it was nothing but bitter overanxiety to do the super-thrilling that engen dered most of the mistakes that "ere made. pulled off about the first week in De- < ember. The players will thus be given plenty of time to get in condition for the opening battle. With such a fine squad of "big league" material. Joe Bean will have a hard proposition deciding whom to choose for the "first team." Os last year's team, the following are again candidates: "Sis" Falvey, Luther Hud son. Ward Wight, forwards; Ed Car ter. Jim Harrison. Carl Smith, Carl Ramspeck. Ned Taylor, guards; Ernest Ramspeck and Ben Ragsdale, center. Many Good New Men. The new materia) on hand is the most promising in the history of the club. Walter Du Bard, who will try for center or forward, was easily the best enter in the city league last year "Pie" Weaver, his teammate, was by far the best guard in that organiza tion. and rhe city league v. us the swift est in the city. Dußard and Reaver are banked on to show lets this season, and it is a 2 to ] bet that they will come across. Harry S: :i.h, s.ar cen ter on the champion Marist team last sear will be a candidate for center. Tom Winans, of the Illinois Athletic club of Chicago and a meml.i t of the < Uymph' swimming team that tool: part in Sweden this past season, is consid ered a fine man at the game. He is booked to try for center. Willingham Smith, a member of last year's Wake Forrest team, will be on the job tot try for a position at forward.

I don't care to produce any alibis over the trip, but the series was so far cical that it didn't really count.

(Manager Pittsburg Baseball Team.) I HAVE been requested to state why I believe a baseball club can bo managed more advan tageously from the bench than from the field. Before deciding to give up my playing position in left field and direct the game from back of the scenes. 1 gave the matter long and serious «.insideration. After looking ; • the .itualion from every possible angle 1 became more than ever determined that the opportu nities for bringing out the best re sults were far greater for the bench manager than for the field man ager. \\ hen you come to sift it right down to common sense, the reasons .ire easily comprehended. Take tile player who is engaged in the game. He has about all he can do to think from the player's standpoint, and there is a great deal of quick thinking to be done by every man on the diamond dur ing every minute the game is in progress. His eyes must be con stantly open and his mind must be ready to grasp instantly any situ ation that may suddenly develop. It Is necessary for him to be pre pared to do his particular part from the instant the ball leaves the hand of the pitcher. Thinking is One of the most im portant factors in baseball, and no matter how perfectly a man can handle the ball, he will never make a success in the game unless he is a good thinker.

The fellow who directs opera tions from the bench is free from tills obstacle. He is able to con centrate his mind on one thing. He has a far better opportunity to detect the weaknesses of the other team and at the same time to dis cern the strongest points of his own players.

Virulent impu rities in the circulation produce angry, discharging ulcers, while milder and more inert germs are usually manifested in the form of indolent sores or dry, scabby places. Efforts to heal an old sore with external applica tions always result in failure because such treatment does not reach the blood, and the ulcer will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding flesh as long as a polluted circula yUßhb ti° n discharges its impurities into it. S.S.S. heals old sores of every nature by purifying the blood. \lt goes to the fountain-head of the trouble and 1 drives out the genn-producing poisons and morbid /impurities which prevent the place from healing.
