By Allen Sangree.
N rEW YORK, S<
J te the hardest fought world's
serU s* that the country * »■ e «r
Been.” observed the long-legged, silent
Cornetiue MacGiWcuddy, the other
night at the hotel where his club puts
ut> In New York.
Mack is as talkative as a crutch.
The only way Friend Writer could
fret 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, Shaw key, 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 fir®i
battle that I had with McGraw. also
the' second, and they are going to be
features in this series, providing Mc
Graw and I win out In our respective
leagues.”
"1 realize that McGraw’* 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 Bay that the Athletics
will out hit 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
1906:
“I had Topsy Hartsel, Lord and
‘Socks' Reybold in the outfield and
the Cross brothers, Danny Murphy
and Harry Davis in the infh Id. I
will say that all those boys were
worn out when we tackled the Giant*.
Why, just Imagine we won tlie cham
pionship of the American League on \
one day before the eeanon 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
couid outbox anybody on the club,
broke half a dozen hat* and then a
certain member of the club soaked
Rube with a uniform bag. It Injured
the southpaw's arm. That is the
truth, so far as Waddell’s failure to
appear In the 1906 series Is concerned.
"Mathswwon shut us out three
games in that ries and McGinaity
did it once. Bender ulso shut out the
Giants, and I don’t mind predicting
*hat he is just a» good now a?-* he was
then. Plank's games were 1-0 and
3-0. I had great pitching !n 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 j*. what the American public
cares to know about the Inside «'tufi
on that We outplayed the Giants in
everv department.
“The experts thought my club
would fall down in the catching end.
Say, Thomas and Lapp both caught
excellent hall, and 1 have a youngster
now, this Schang. who will deliver
the goods, no worry.
“No. neither Danny Murphy nor
Harry Davis will get Into this com
ing series, but they will be thers
with some tinvly advice. My club
fought the Giants in a disabled con
dition in their first battles. They
were right in 1911. and. although It is
doubtful whether Coomb* can corn"
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 is
an even wager between these two
clubs, always supposing that each
cops the pennant."

FOSTER SIGNS CONTRACT.
BOSTON, Sept. 2.--George Foster, a
pitcher, has the distinction of being the
first player to sign with the Boston
Americans for 1914 on a one-year con
tract. Foster wrenched his knee sev

PELKY AFTER JOHNSON.
LOP ANGELES, Sept. 2. - Just prior
to leaving for his home in Detroit, Ar
thur Pelky. hea weight battlt an
nounced through hfs marager C at he
would try to gtt a fight with Jack
Johnson in Paris.
F ^ OR once in the history of base
ball, the opposing pitcher
posed as a pinch hitter for
the enemy. And it was with two
gone in the last of the ninth, the
bases full, pnd the score a tie that
Friend Poddy 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 r .
Mr. Peddy was the pinch hitter,
as remarked above. Mr. Wally Smith
was the pinch hittee. And the Pinch
Hit landed on the hittee a few de
grees below where he would have
buttoned his suspenders, if he hail
been wearing suspenders.
Ordinarily, that kind of a Pinch IIit
does not arouse any violent enthu-
■ slasm. 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-
I 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.

and the bue*- were crawling down to

ishing touches would be particularly
affecting.
They had a bum hunch.
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 hia aberration. Mr Hendryx was on
third, yelling that he would scuttle
the ship rather than return to Mat-
teawan, and Mr. McDowell was rep
resented by a large black dot on the
scorebooks.
• * •
\17HILE this untoward matter was
* * forward, we happened to be on
the Crackers' bench, and a cage full
of starving tigers would have been
quiet and contented by contrast.
If the Wild Man from Borneo had

would have blown his brains out, one

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—
tne kind that cause forfeited games
in Philadelphia and elsewhere—were
throwing cushions.
Bill Smith was throwing fits, for his
part, but he wasn’t throwing them
out on the field, so they didn’t clutter
up the game.

Signal; the second, a warning, ten
minutes later and five minutes after

time appointed for tho start of any
race, be or threaten to be. of such
‘•evere character a.* 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 ‘itarced.’’
The following clauses are Interest
ing:
Can Win by Disqualification.
“If either vessel is disqualified in
any race such race shall be awarded
to the other vessel, whether she shall
complete the course within the time
limit or not.
"If. through the fault of either ves-
siel, 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.
“If either yacht in any way increa. c «e

taken, she must obtain a remeasure
ment by special appointment before

Barrieau Surprises
Cross; Leach Held
To 12-Round Draw
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Sept. 2.—Overconfidence nearly cost
Leach Cross, the New York lightweight,
a fight yesterday with Frank Barrieau,
a local fighter.
Cross went into the ring for the
twelve-round bout expecting to have an
easy time of it. Barrieau showed un
expected form and during the early
rounds literally swept the New Yorker
off his feet. Cross came back when Bar
rieau had grown a bit tired, and did
some fighting that earned him a draw,
although the newspapers thought the
decision should have gone to Barrieau.
Conley Wins Decision

FORT SMITH. ARK., Sept 2.—
Frank C. Conley former bantamweight
champion, was given the newspaper de
cision over Olliver Kirk, of St. Louis, at
the end of a ten-round bout here yes

jured in a recent bout, was put out of
commission again yesterday in the third

Conley announced that he would en

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 1:22.
Both races were wildly received
by the big crowd that marked the
Labor Day attendance, and, in fact,
all the races were excellent and

P AUL HUNTER, as every one
knows, gladdened the hearts of
his friends by winning the Lake
Geneva tournament and many of the
adjuncts thereto. Wo were not pleased
because he defeated some of our other
iriends, but because he plays such de
serving golf and has had so mucb
undeserved bad luck. It seemed high
time that such good playing should
meet its just deserts.
Paul Hunter comes of a strong
golfing family. His mother is much
interested in his game. His father, C.
L. Hunter, is a very good player him
self, and his couttin, Robert Hunter,
is a player of the highest class, who,
unfortunately, haB not been seen on
local links this year. It appears that
a certain facility in golf playing runs
in families, most notable examples, in
addition to the Hunters, being the
Gardners apd the Edwardls.
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 very
small lad, with a goU club in his hand,
in newspapers and golf magazines.
He did marvelous things in those days
and is still doing them. He plays in
perfect form, a fine, free, wide open,
easy style, and command's one of the
longe.Mt iron shots I ever saw played.
He is a strong, big fellow as golfers
go. and gets his strength into the ball
to the fullest advantage.
He seems to play, however, in the
most exasperating hard luck. When
he loses it is almost always by the
narrowest of margins, and almost al
ways there is some rather spectacular
bit of misfortune connected with his
defeats.
For that reason as well as many
others, I am sure that no one grudged
Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva,
least of all, that good sportsman, Ken
neth Edwards, the runner-up of the
event.
