10 FIGHT IN

Rv Allen Sangree.
N EW'YORK. Sppt. 2.—"This will
' be the hardest fought world’s
series that the country has ever
seen,” observed the long-legged, silent
Cornelius MacGilllcuddy, the other
night at the hotel where his club puts
up In New York.
Mack Is as talkative ns a crutch.
The only way Friend Writer could
get him started was by remarking
that the Giants will cop this 1913
pennant through superior pitching.
“I have some young pitchers who
will give the Giants a tussle,” broke
open the silent Irishman, 'and they
are Brown, Shawkey, Houck and
Bush. Now, mind you, I am going to
have In this world’s series two old-
timers. Plank and the Indian, Bender
These veterans took part in the first
battle that I had with McGraw, aleo
the second, and they are going to he
features In this series, providing Mc
Graw and I win out in our respective
leagues.”
“I realize that McGrow’s club is
stronger than it was in 1911.” con
tinued the Philadelphia strategist,
"and I can see that my men have a
battle ahead of them
Depends on “Break of Luck.”
“No, I won’t say that the Athletics
will outhlt New York. I suppose a
good deal will depend upon the break
of luck. Now, I want to tell you
about the first time my club bumped
up against New York. You can draw
your own conclusions. No manager
Is going to knock an opposing club in
a world’s series, nor Is he going to
alibi. But here were the facts in
1905;
“I had Topsy Hartsel, Lord and
’Socks’ Seyboki in the outfield and
the Cross brothers, Danny Murphy
and Harry I>avua in the infield. I
will say that all those boys were
worn out when we tackled the Giants.
Why, Just imagine, we won the cham
pionship of the American league on y
one day before the soawn closed.
"Of course, I figured on pitching
Rube Waddell in the game and that
erratic southpaw threw me down. The
ball players were all bustng up one
another’s straw hats. Rube, who
could outbcx anybody on the club,
broke half a dozen hats and then a
certain member of the club soaked
Rube with h uniform bag. It injured
the southpaw’s arm. That is the
truth, so far as Waddell’s failure to
appear in the 1905 series is concerned.
'Mathewnon shut us out throe
games in that herles and McGinnity
did it once. Render also shut out the
Giants, and 1 don’t mind predicting
that he Is Just as good now at* he was
then. Plank's games were 1-0 and
3-0. I had great pitching in that 1905
series, but Waddell’s absence handi
capped me.
Outplayed Giants in 1911.
•Well, you want to hear something
about the contest in 1911? Say, 1
don’t see what the American public
cares to know about the inside •‘■'tuff
on that. We outplayed the Giants in
every department.
“The experts thought my club
would fall down in the catching end.
Say, Thomas and Lapp both caught
excellent ball, and I have a youngster
now, this Schang. who will deliver
the goods, no worry.
“No, neither Danny Murphy nor
Harry Davis will get into this corn
ing series, but they will be there
with some timely advice. My club
fought the Giants in u disabled con
dition in their flrwt battles. They
were right in 1911, and, although it is
doubtful whether Coombs can come
back, 1 will have a well-conditioned
club to fight this yeai
“McGraw's club looks so much bet
ter than it did in 1911. that if I were
a betting man 1 would say that it if
an even wager between these two
clubs, always supposing that each
cops the pennant.”

New York Yacht Club Issues Cup Race Rules
+•+
First Contest Will Be Sailed September 10,1914
N EW YORK. Sept. 2.—The New
York Yacht Club has made pub
lic the conditions under which
the races for the America’s Cup, in
which Sir Thomas Lipton is again
the challenger, will be run.
The first race Is set for Thursday,
September 10, 1914; the second l’or
Saturday, September 12; the third for
Tuesday, September 15. “and further
races, if any, to be sailed on each
following Thursday, Saturday and
Tuesday” until the contest is de
cided. Three victories for the same
contestant will decide.
Sir Thomas sent his challenge on
April 8, last; the agreement was
signed on July 19.
The starting point is to be the Am
brose Channel Lightship, if nothing
interfere^, and, if possible, the course
is to be laid to windward of the light
ship.
The first race will be to windward
—or leeward, if the other course is
not practicable—and return. The sec
ond race is to be on an equilateral tri
angle. Tne third race will be run
like the first and the fourth like the
second and the fifth like the first. In
the event that a race is not finished
it will be run off the next scheduled
day on the course originally laid out
for it.
Course* 30 Miles Long.
The courses will be as near thirty
miles long as It Is possible to arrange
and the starting signal will be given
at 11 a. m. t except in the event of fog
or accident to one of the vessels. No
race Is to be f-itarted later than six
hours before sunset.
Before the boats actually get under
way three signals will be given. The
first, preparatory, will he sounded
fifteen minutes before the starting
signal; the second, a warning, ten
minutes later and five minutes after
that the starting signal will be given.
Six hours is the time limit ex
clusive of time allowance. If the lead
ing yacht does not finish within that
period the race is to be sailed over.
The conditions contain this paragraph
concerning postponements:
"If, in the opinion of the Regatta
Committee, the weather shall, at the
time appointed for th^ start of any
race, be or threaten to be, of such
s*evere character as not to afford a
reasonable opportunity of fairly test
ing the speed of the two vessels, the
race may be postponed at the discre
tion of the Regatta Committee, unless
either contestant shall insist upon its
being Mtarted.”
The following clauses are Interest
ing;
Can Win by Disqualification.
“If either vessel is disqualified in
any race such race shall he awarded
to the other vessel, whether she shall
complete the course within the time
limit or not.
"If. through the fault of either ves
sel. the other be destroyed or so in
jured as to be incapable of repair, and
the latter shall be free from fault,
the match shall be awarded to her.
“A representative «.f each contestant
will be present at the measurements
of the other’s vessel and will remain
on the other yacht during the races.
The measurements will be made at
least a week prior to the first race.
‘Tf either yacht in any way Increase
her spar measurements, as officially
taken, she must obtain a remoasure-
ment by special appointment before
the next race, or, failing this, must
report the alteration to the measurer
at the clubhouse by 10 p. m. of the
day before the race following such
alterations, and must arrange with
him for remeasurement and. If re
quired, be in the Erie Basin by 7
o’clock a. m. of the day of said race,
and there remain until 8 o’clock a. m
if necessary for purposes of inspec
tion of marks or remeasurement.
The Defender Not Announced.
“If either yacht shall take in or re
move ballast or dead weight she musi
notify the measurer and be at his dis
position for inspection of marks or
remeasurement as above described.
A measurement taken, as provided
above, shall he final and not be sub
jected to protest by either party.”
Most of the other conditions refer
to what the yachts shall carry.
The Shamrock IV will be the chal
lenger’s vessel. The New York Yacht
Club reserves the right to wait until a
week before the first race before an
nouncing what yacht will defend the
cup.
Made public at the some time wer*
the cablegrams exchanged between
the New York Yacht Club and the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club. Sir Thom
as’ representative in the negotiations.
Sir Thomas wanted the defender to
be no longer than his vessel is bound
to be, 75 feet, but the New York Yacht
Club refused to give in. Sir Thomas
did not press the point.

F > OR once in the history of base
ball, the opposing pitcher
post'd as a pinch hitter for
the enemy. And it was with two
gone in the last of the ninth, the
bases full, and the f«core a tie that
Friend Peddy of the Pels touched
off a roaring crowd of ten thousand
persons with the Pinch Hit that
gave the Crackers the game, and the
right to win the 1913 pennant—if they
could lick the Gulls four games in
a row.
Mr. Peddy was the pinch hitter,
as remarked above. Mr. Wally Smith
was the pinch hlttee. And the Pinch
Hit landed on the hittee a few de
grees below where he would have
buttoned his mispenders, if he had
been \v earing suspenders.
Ordinarily, that kind of a Pinch Hit
does not arouse any violent enthu
siasm. But at this particular Junc
ture a home run over the whisky
sign wouldn’t have caused any more
of an explosion—and wouldn't have
won the game a bit more effectually.
Wherefore, if Mr. Smith finds him
self more comfortable standing, Mr.
Smith has the balm of heroism to
apply to his personal feelings. And
as to his anatomy—well, that prob
ably will recover, all by Itself.

T HE morning game having gone the
way of all good ball games -
i. e., to the home team—and Mobile
having duly lost, ten thousand fans
shoe-horned themselves into Ponca
DeLeon Park for the matinee encoun
ter.
It was worth the process.
• • •
C ONZELMAN and Peddy were the
licensed operators, and Joe haJ
it all over his rival, right up to the
last frame. The Crackers were lead
ing. 3 to 1, wrhen that session started,
and the bug« were crawling down to
ward the exits, not figuring the fin

affecting.

But right there something hap
pened.
A Mr. Hendryx, who had been de
ceptively docile all day long, suddenly
became violently Insane, and when
Harry Welchonce and Nixon were
through chasing down the evidences
of his aberration. Mr. Hendryx was on
third, yelling that he w r ould scuttle
the ship'rather than return to Mat-
teawan. and Mr. McDowell was rep
resented by a large black dot on the
scorebooks.

VI7HILB this untoward matter was
* * forward, we happened to be on
the Crackers’ bench, and a cage full
of starving tiger.s would have been
quiet and contented by contrast.
If the Wild Man from Borneo had
caught a glimpse of Bill Smith, he
would have blown his brains out, one
by one, for sheer envy.
Kyle managed to hit a sacrifice fly,
and then Green fanned, Conzelman’s
big drop making him look idiotic for
the third time that afternoon.

B UT it lacked a lot of being calm
and serene in the Crackers’ cage.
Darkness was approaching and a lot
of porch-climbers in the bleachers—
the kind that cause forfeited games
in Philadelphia and elsewhere—were
throwing cushions.
Bill Smith was throwing fits, for his
part, but be wasn't throwing them
out on the field, so they didn’t clutter
up the game.

T HE motordrome track record for
two miles was broken twice
last night by the terrific rid
ing of “Tex’’ Richards and Morty
Graves, who circled the saucer at
the fearful clip of 88 miles an hour.
"Tex” was the first to smash the
mark, when he won the final heat of
the Southern championship race in
1:23. Then a few minutes later,
Graves, riding the second heat of the
special match race with Richards,
spun off the eight laps in If22.
Both races were wildly received
by the big crowd that marked the
Labor Day attendance, and, in fact,
all the races were excellent and
marked by fast time and hard rid
ing.
Renel, the French rider, scored 22
points in the Labor Day sweepstakes
and was awarded the race, the scor
ing being under the French system.
Richards won the Australian pursuit
race, which was an exciting affair.
Following is a summary of the
events:

P AUL HUNTER, as every one
knows, gladdened the hearts ol
his friends by winning the Lake
Geneva tournament and many of the
adjuncts thereto. We were not pleased
because he defeated some of our othei
friends, but because he plays such de
serving golf and has had *o much
undesierved bad luck. It seemed high
time that such good playing should
meet its just deserts.
Paul Hunter comes of a strona
golfing family. His mother la much
interested in his game. His father, C
L. Hunter, is a very good player him
self, and his cousdn, Robert Hunter
is a player of the highest class, who
unfortunately, has not been seen or
local links this year. It appears thai
a certain facility in golf playing rum
Jfi families, most notable examples, ir
addition to the Hunters, being tht
Gardners and the Edwards.
Paul, who is almost exactly my age
has played golf since his earliest
childhood, and for years has been con
sidered one of our very best players
Long before I began to play In public
I saw pictures of Paul Hunter, a vert
small lad, with a golf club in his hand
in newspapers and golf magazines
He did marvelous things in those day.
and is still doing them. He plays ir
perfect form, a fine, free, wide open
easy style, and commands one of th
longest iron shots I ever saw played
He is a strong, big fellow as golfer 1
go. and gets his strength into the bal
to the fullest advantage.
He seems to play, however, in the
most exasperating hard luck. Wher
he loses it is almost always by th<
narrowest of margins, and almost al
ways there Is some rather spectaculai
bit of misfortune connected with hi?
defeats.
For that reason as well as man\
others, I am sure that no one grudges
