U tIIILE tin; Boston Braves’ phe-
! nomenal rush through the
National League the past sea
son from last plane to first was the
most sensational fe iture of a very
freakish year in baseball and caused
fandom the country over to h!t up
and take due notice, still it was not
an unprecedented spurt of Its kind.
It was in 1883 that the Boston L 1
Stockings, by a similar sprint, came
from behind and beat out their oppo-
pents in the National League for the
championship, gaining a three-run
lead at the finish over their closest
rival, the Chicago White Stockings-
the club that has since changed its
name to the Cubs
The White Stockings beat the Prov
idence drays out of second place by
the small margin of one game, so this
year’s race was so nearly on the same
iines a* tluit of 1883 that the old say
ing. “There is nothing new In base
ball," still is quite trite.
The finish of the race just twenty
years ago, too, was even more sensa
tional than the wind-up of the
Braves this fall, because the old Red
Stockings were pushed to three extra
inning games (one being of sixteen
innings duration) before their last se
ries was finished
Irwin Batting Hero.
Arthur Irwin, the present scout of
the Yankees, was the batting hero of
that historical wind-up series.
He was with the Providence club,
and his home run drives over the
right field fences were little less fa
mous at that time as are IJank (Tow- ,

"Ubbo Joe" in Limelight.
For the winning Boston team "Ubbo
Joe" Hornung was the premier bats
man for his club, and to that game
old veteran much of the credit be
longs, not alone for victory in that
particular series, but also for the rush
of his club during the season that
eventually resulted in the former old
Boston Reds winning another pen-
pant. their last being won In 1878.
This year New York Manager John
J. McOraw was striving his best lo
win four pennants in succession, and
it was a sad disappointment to him
that he failed, although New York
\ fans did not support him as they
should in his ambition, but that was
for the reason that the Braves’ game
spirit caused the transfer of the alle
giance of thousands of Manhattan
rooters, as well as those all over the
country to the plucky Stallings-Evsrs
combination.

Sees Two Holes Instead of One,
but Plays His Head Off and
Saves a Wager.
By “Chick" Evans.
(Three Times Western Amateur Golf |
Champion.)
'MilS is a story of a golfer who
ut sixteen strokes from his
score in twenty-four hours, and
it may be that the tale is without a
moral.
The golfer who achieved this cx-
traordinarv feat was a man whoi
best previous 90. He had a match
scheduled for a certain Sunday
morning, and on the Saturday night
previous the two players and an out-
of-town friend went down town to
celebrate. Much was said about the
match in the morning, and each play
er bet the other that no earthly hap
pening could keep him from the tee
at 9 a. m. The little party became a,
big one arid lasted far into the night.
One of the players was a married
man and went home early, but our
hero saw the party through, and iri
consequence did not sleep at all.
Our Hero on Job.
At 9 o'clock Sunday morning tlie
early-to-bed player was at the first
tee looking n synonym for energy arm
well-being. Our hero, remembering
his bets, was there, too. hut. he ap
peared ns a startling illustration of
the "morning after."
The match started, and our man
began at once to putt in a most
amazing fashion. Fifteen and twen-
y-footers were dropping regularly
into the co- from almost an -Art of
the green. His other shots were not
particularly good, but his n**u«s were
miracles, ami what his surprised op
ponent said was a caution. When the
eighteenth hole was played it was
discovered that our hero, who had
modestly hoped that some time he
might break 80, had made the round J
in 74!
The news flew all over the club
and a number of the fortunate golf
er’s incredulous friends asked him
how he did it. "Well,” he said, "I saw
two holes on the putting green, and I
just putted at them and the ball went
in! ’’
This little story is not a ibt of fic
tion, gentle reader, but an actual
fact. Whether it is proper to say so
or not, I myself have seen some aw
fully good golf played by fellows who
felt as bad as they looked, and I have
seen some pretty bad golf played by
good golfers who felt absolutely fit.
This Golfer Carries Flask.
I was beaten when playing well In
one of my most important matches
by a golfer who carried a flask in
his caddy bag, and sipped from it
whenever he could do so unseen by
the gallery, which was rather fre
quent, as he had grown clever from
long practice. Furthermore, he had
hardly been to bed the night before
and ills luncheon hid been chiefly
whisky. Thought I to myself, "Well,
wouldn't that drive a fellow to
drink?”

RANDOLPH ROSE. President

Loses $10,000 on
Big Ed Konetchy
PITTSBURG, Oct. 31.-—"What
will people say?”
Because Barney Dreyfus consid
ered this question he is out just
$18,000. It happened this way:
The New York Giants wanted
Edward Konetchy last summer.
They wanted him so badly that
they were willing to pay $18,000 for
the big first sacker and Marty
O’Toole, pitcher, to the Pittsburg
club.
“What will people say?” Barney
asked himself, and then answered
thusly: "They will say that I am
trying to help the Giants win their
fourth straight pennat.” Which
possibly was true. At any r a te,
Dreyfus turned down the offer
from thp New York club.
Now Konetchy has been signed
by the Federal League. Barney
sacrificed a young fortune to pub
lic opinion and the welfare of
baseball.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Sprint cham
pions from all parts of the globe will
be represented In the indoor bicycle
championships to be run Saturday
night, November 14, preceding the six-
day race. Frank Kramer, who has held
the championship for thirteen years, is
in grave danger of losing his title this
year on account of the great number
of stars who have cropped up in the
past year in America and abroad.
In addition io the sprint races there
will be motor paced events, the entrants
being picked from the cream of the
talent, including Walthour, Carmen,
Wiley, Madonna, Bedell, Moran and
Lawrence. Over one hundred amateurs
will be centered In the half-dozen events

Smith’s Broken Leg
Will Not Deter Him
BOSTON, Oct. 31.—X-ray photos of
Red Smith’s broken right leg showed
thai the original diagnosis of Drs. Ca
sey ami Kennedy was correct. The
fibula was found fractured and the tibia
broken and split. The laceration of the
tendons over the ankle may prove even
more serious than the broken bones.
I »r. Casey expects Smith, who is the
regular third baseman of the World’s
Champion Braves, to recover the full
use of his leg. He is basing his hopes
largely on the case of Harry Lumley.

Wolgast is probably the greatest

Officials Named for
Big Football Games
NEW HAVEN. CONN., Oct. 31.—
Yale. Harvard and Princeton have de
cided upon the full set of officials for
the Yale-Princeton game at Tigertown
and the Yale-Harvard engagement In
the Yale bowl. Several changes have
been made fron the former list, one of
the most noteworthy being the omission
of the selection of William ,1. Lungford,
the former Trinity College captain, a.'*
referee. He has held this important
position at both these important games
for several years, but has important
business Interests which prevent his de
voting as much time to football as
usual.
A brand new eferee 1 as been chosen
for both games in the jvrson of Nathan
A. Tufts, of Brown University. He
has officiated at Yale in several minor
contests.
David Fultz, another former Brown
University captain, better known in re
cent athletics as the American League
baseball player and president of the
Baseball Players’ Fraternity, has again
been selected umpire of the Yale-Har
vard game. He lias officiated in this
game for several years and will um
pire either at Yale or Harvard in nearly
all the games

Yandv and Tennessee and Michigan Will Fur
nish Big Games in the South—New Hunch
Introduced in Official Tactics.
By WALTER CAMP.
N EXT Saturday will come the Cambridge big game for the
season, when Princeton conies there to meet Harvard. Time
was when a Princeton-Harvard game almost invariably re
sulted in favor of Princeton, no matter what the previous odds
had been, but Harvard has lately changed that, and last year in
a desperate struggle in the mud (thanks to a beautiful kick of
Brickley’s of wet hall) Harvard came out the winner. On the
occasion of Princeton’s last visit to
Cambridge, Harvard also won and on
that occasion much more decisively,
although Princeton had then badly
frightened with a forward pass just
before the intermission.
From material and evidence thus
far this season the odds should cer
tainly be in Harvard's favor once
more, but the Princeton Tiger is al
ways a fighting tiger and will take
desperate chances, so that the game
should be of exciting interest.
Army vs. Notre Dame.
The game of especial interest here
in New York is the attempt of the
Army eleven to square matters with
Notre Dame at West Point for the de
feat of last year. Whether they can
come out or not is another matter,
but there is this to be said, and that
is that the Army will not by any
means be caught so much by surprise
as in 1913. If Notre Dame can out
play them both in the rushing game
and the forward pass game they will
accept their medicine but they will
have to be shown.
Another East and West game will
be played this year at Ann Arbor,
the University of Pennsylvania go
ing ou there to meet Michigan. Mich
igan was somewhat knocked out by
the contest with Harvard but has of
late years been rather too strong for
Penn and the contest ought to be a
good one with the odds slightly favor
ing the hame team.
Pittsburgh enthusiasts will have an
opportunity to see the rivalry be
tween Pittsburgh and Washintgon-
Jefferson settled, with the odds some
what favor!’- the latter.
Southern Games.
Tennessee meets Vanderbilt at
Nashville, which should be a good
game. Out in the Middle West Wis-
consin-Minnesota, at Minenapolis, is
going to furnish fireworks of a pro
nounced character. The University
of Alabama vs. the University of the
South, at Birmingham, should be a
good contest. New Orleans people
will have a chance to see the Univer
sity of Michigan meet Tulane: North
Carr lina meets the Virginia Military
Institute at Charlottesville. Southern
California, the home of those won
derful trackmen, Drew and Kelly,
lines up against Occidental at Los
Angeles. Washington has a good con
test in Georgetown vs. North Caro
lina A. & M. Louisiana State meets
i he University of Arkansas at Shreve
port.
Pendleton Has a New Feature.
"Joe” Pendleton, who reformed the
Yale-Notre Dome »ame, received a
popular vote of thanks for intorduc-
ing a new feature into officiating.
Every time a penalty was called,
Pendleton would announce to the
spectators the distance given and
what the nature of the foul for which
the penalty was inflicted. It cer
tainly made a great hit with the peo
ple and suggests that an excellent
plan in the big games when the
Rodgers to Replace
Lajoie at Second
CLEVELAND. Oct. 31.—The of
ficials of the Cleveland American
League club this week received a tele
gram from Walter McCredie. manager
of the Portland club of the Coast
League, saving that Bill Rodgers had
signed his Cleveland contract and that
he would forward it at once.
For several weeks Federal League
agents have been importuning Rodgers
to sign with the outlaws, but Rodgers
hesitated, and finally decided to listen
to the persuasive powers of McCredie
and cast his lot with the Naps.
Having counted on Rodgers being
the regular second sacker of the Naps
in 1916. Somers and Birmingham would
have been forced to make other plans
for next season had he jumped.
English Mat Champ
Challenges Billiter
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Oct. 31
On the grounds that he was unfa
miliar with the toe hold, which he
brands as an "American idea to break
a man’s leg," Herbert Hartley, of Eng
land. European champion lightweight
wrestler, to-day challenged Johnny
Billiter, of Toledo, American cham
pion, for another match. Billiter
threw Hartley in 26 and 19 minutes,
respectively, for the second and third
falls the other night after Hartley had
won the first fall in 47 minutes. Hart
ley’s diamond belt and his title were
at stake in the match, with a side bet
of $500.
EVERS PRAISES BRAVES.
Johnny Evers says he has played
with some game clubs in his time as
a major leaguer, but the Braves are
the gamest players he ever saw in
uniform, not even excepting the Cubs,
who were it flgfrtiug crowd.
A clergyman. Rev. M. nos*, n
Ohio, testifies that after having been a
slave to tobacco 44 years, he got rid of
the habit entirely in a few days, greatly
improving his health.
QUIT TOBACCO, GAINED 35 LBS.
Everybody in Mangum, Okla., is talk
ing about the- big change in AI Reeves;
he put on 35 lbs. in healthy flesh since
getting rid of the tobacco habit through
the information gained in the free book
which you may also easily obtain.
That he could never quit Tvas the fear
of George Ambush, Pearl street, Phila
delphia, who was a slave of tobacco for
many years, but after getting the book,
he learned how the habit could be con
quered in three days. Now he writes
that he is forever free from the craving
and is in much improved health.
BOOK GIVEN FREE.
A valuable, interesting book on how
to overcome the tobacco habit (in any
form* has been written by Edw. j
Woods. 416-L. Station E. New York
N. Y . and he will send it free to anyone
who writes asking for it, as he is very
anxious that all who are victims of the
craving for tobacco, snuff, cigars or cig
arettes may save themselves easily
quickly, gently and lastingly. Eyes

cheering and other noise might make
it impossible for Pendleton or any
referee to be heard that he should re
peat to the cheer leaders who then
would announce it through their
megaphones down the line. It would
help a great deal in the understand
ing and appreciating of the points.
Another lesson that is likely to be
driven home hard by the results of
another week’s progress is that the
modern style of play takes a lot of
generalship and that first-class quar
terbacks are just as rare as ever; in
fact, the real combination of player
and general has not been successful
ly proved by any of them un to this
point of the season.
Messed It Up.
Ghee, of Dartmouth. a wonderful
player, but butchered his team in
the first period at Princeton. Ames,
of Princeton, used good judgment,
but made an almost fatal muff at a
critical time. His physique is frail to
stand quarterback plunging.
On the whole, if one is to i»'i<re by
the scores only and the character of
the contests, Princeton is emerging
from the October haze a® 1 a strong ug- >
gregation.
Drie-R-’s Dutiner was distinctlv good
and the line work of Ballin and
Hhenk on defense admirable. In fact,
the Princeton line, until it was tired,
showed the fastest charge thus far
exhibited this season, but they tired
much toward the end and the back-
field was a si ever for forward passes.
Of their attac kit is still difficult
to speak decisively, for it was not
necessary to use it, as they had the
game won through Dartmouth's poor
generalship before they were obliged
to face anything critical. So we
must wait for the best.
Yale Line Must Hold.
^ It is safe, to say that unless the
Yale line can stop the Princeton for
wards their lateral passing cannot
work successfully. Yet Princeton
looked a very weak team for a time
during the fourth period against
Dartmouth.
Thus we are seeing the passing out
of the supremacy of the old holders
and the coming to their own of many
of the presumed. St' assumed, lesser
lights of the gridiron, as the first of
November will find the most com
plicated situation ever witnessed.
