    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. The Giants would

Dewis out at first. It was a tactical
error. 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

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.

FRED CLARKE THINKS
BENCH MANAGER BEST
By Fred Clarke.
(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.

Now. w hen a man who is engaged
in the game must think for himself,
and in addition to that must do the
planning for all the rest of the
players, he is burdened with a
handicap that is certain to prevent
him at many times from obtain
ing the best results.
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. When he is not en
gaged in the game he is also able
to figure out the various plays to
greatest advantage.
Two ball teams in a game are
like two armies on the field of bat
tle. Each side has adopted a cer
tain line of defense. It" Is neces
sary to form an attack that will
break that defense, and at the same
time you must be prepared to put
up a defense that will prevent the
opposing club from breaking your
own method of attack. Each man
ager, like the commanding offi
cer in 0 battle, uses a different sys
tem to provide the ways and means
of getting results.

While all Old Sores are not cancerous in their nature, every slow
healing ulcer shows a degenerated condition of the blood. 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.

S. S. S. creates, causes a perfect and natural knit

’OSWEGO TEAM TO CARRY
ITS BATS IN A COFFIN
OWOSSO, MICH., Oct. 19.—When the
Owosso indoor baseball team plays the
game this winter it will carry with it a
novel anti gruesome advertisement of qne
of the city's big industries Instead of
the regulation bag, the team’s bats will
be carried in a miniature coffin, perfect

Owosso Casket Co., which owns a big
factory here.
The team is assured of more enthu
siastic support than it has had in sev
eral years. A local bat manufacturer
has donated all the bats. A doctor has
volunteered to act as the club physician
and treat members of the team free of
charge, and two osteopaths have each
donated their services for a treatment
to each ball player after the games.
