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 Will Play Many Games. The schedule for the season has not been arranged yet, but games with the Columbus Y. M. C. A„ Birmingham Athletic club, Mobile Y. M. C. A„ Athens Y M. C. A., Charlotte Y. M. C. A., Asheville Y. M M.

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.

(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 Can’t Do Two Things at Once.

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. ( THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. GA. !
