World’s Series Misplays Cut
More Figure Than the Plays
Bv Montv.
NEW YORK. Oct. 19—He who
opines that the victory of
the Red Sox over the Giants
in the greatest of all world's series,
just ended, was not clean-cut,
earned and deserved, hardly can
call himself a true student of base
ball, of the underlying principles of
the game, of the foundation upon
which it is built.
Baseball is born not only of great
feats and grasped opportunities, but
so of the obverse thing—the re
dlining from mistakes and talent
prevent the throwing away of
opportunities. Because of superior
ipacitv to rise to the occasion
hen crucial situations presented
themselves —times-when the game
nged upon the perfect, or imper
t, consummation of each play—
the Red Sox triumphed, are the
orld's champions today and have
proved themselves worthy of the
title.
The MISTAKES that were made
Piayed a much more Important part
in the final result than did x the
GREAT DEEDS. The latter, of
course, figured prominently as they
.io in every kind of a contest, but In
the cases where some single event
determined the victor in a game,
that event almost every time was a
mistake by somebody. One glar
ing exception to this general rule
was seen in the third game of the
series, the play-off of the second
day's tie, in Boston. It was one of
the most remarkable catches of all
time, by Josh Devore, that not only
rescued Rube Manquard and the
Giants from defeat, but turned the
impending disaster right-about
fnoe Into tbe one most glorious tri
umph of the series.
But, take the other games in or
der and see where the reverse sort
of events turned the tide in the Red
Sog direction. The Giants would
not have lost the get-away game
had it not been for two misplays
of thetra, neither of which, how
ever. is scored in the error column.
One of these netted the first Hub
run. In the sixth Inning Speaker
was on third after having tripled.
It yvas a hit only because Snod
grass encroached upon Devore in
the field. Lewis sent a grounder to
Doyle at second. Instead of mak
ing a play for the plate, where the
odds are two to one that he could
have caught Speaker, Doyle threw
A. A. C/S PROSPECTS FOR
BASKET BALL ARE GOOD
By Len Graves.
THE Atlanta Athletic club basket
ball team has started its first
practice. Considering that this
start was made without blowing of
trumpets and that it occurred while
attempted assassinations, mayoralty
elections, worM’s series and Balkan
wars were struggling for news mastery,
tt came near to being overlooked.
Joe Bean Issued his call for candi
dates tact week and the response was
faiprasatve.
The first practice of the season has
been held and every member of last
year's crew was present, and a few
new members as well, who will try for
positions on the team this year.
ThS outlook is promising. The boys
are in pretty good condition to start
with. Most of them have engaged in
outdoor sports, such as swimming, ten
nis and the like, this summer and are
very fit

Lewis out at first. It was a tactical
error. With Speaker killed 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 suppot t '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 yas 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, it was
tossed away by 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 sdper-thrilling that engen
dered most of the mistakes that
were made.
pulled off about the first week in De
cember. 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; "Sts" 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 material on hand is the
most promising in the history of the
club. Walter Dußard. who will try for
center or forward, was easily the best
center in the city league last year
"Pie" Weaver, his teammate, w; s by
far the best guard in that organiza
tion. and the city league was the swift,
est in the cifl-. Dußard and Weaver
are banked on to show lots this season,
and it is a 2 to 1 bet that they will
come across. Harry Smith, star cen
ter on the champion Marist team last
year, will be a candidate for center.
Tom Winans, of the Illinois Athletic
club of Chicago and a member of the
Olympic swimming team that took pari
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 to try
for a position at forward.
STAHL MAY HELP WITH

BENCH MANAGER BEST
By Fred Clarke.
(Manager Pittsburg Baseball Team.)
I HAVE been requested to state
why 1 believe a baseball club
can be 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. I gave the matter long
and serious consideration. After
looking at the situation from every
possible angle 1 became more th tn
ever determined that the opportu
nities for bringing mil tile ixst re
sults were far greater for tile la nch
manager than for the field man
ager Whin you come to sift it
right down to common sen-e. the
reasons are easily comprehended.
Take the nluyer 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 ills 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 itis particular part fisnn
the instant the ball leaves the hand
of tiie pitcher.
Chinking is one of the most im-Y*
portant factors in baseball, and no
matter how perfectly a man can
handle rhe ball, he w in never make
a success in the game unless he is
a good thinker

Now. when a man who is engaged
in the game must think for himself,
and in addition to that must do the
planning for ail 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
this obstacle. He is able to con
centrate his mind on one thing.
He has a tar 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 bill! 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 deft nse, and at the same
time you must be prepared to put
up a defense that will prevent the
opposing club from breaking your
ow n method of attack. Each man
ager. like the commanding offi
cio in a battle, uses a different sys
tem to provide the ways and means
of getting results.

Till sores>lre Not Cancerous
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 d*-y, scabby places. Efforts to heal an old sore with external applica
tions always result in failure because such treatment does not reach the
e blood, and the ulcer will continue to eat deeper into
the surrounding flesh as long as a polluted circula
tion discharges its impurities into it. S.S.S. heals
old sores of every nature by purifying the blood.
It goes to the fountain-head of the trouble and
drives out the germ-producing poisons and morbid
impurities which prevent the place from healing.
Then a stream of rich, nourishing blood, 'which
S. S. S. creates, causes a perfect and natural knit
ting together of all flesh fibres, making a thorough
and permanent cure. Th- sore does not “come
back” when S. S. S. has made a cure, because its source has been des
troyed. Book on sores and ulcers and medical ad rice free. (
