ATHLETICS HAVE
' BEST EDGE IN
BASE-RUNNING
Collins, While on the Bases,
Shows Up Marvelously, Which
Decidedly Helps Athletics’
Averages.
New York.—The impression that ex
ists that the Athletics far overshadow
the Braves in base-rnnning is errone
ous. The Athletics have the edge—but
the edge is small.
Fandon took a squint at the num
'C r stolen bases credited to Eddie
Cibllins of the Athletics and at once
concluded that all the other Athletics
were likewise. They aren’t—nor any
where near it. Collins, as a base
runner, is a marvel, but none of hts
teammates are any anywhere near his
class. The other Athletics are just
ordinary baserunners.
Collins, with a record of 60 stolen
bases up to Monday, has a lead of 16
i over Johnny Evers, the best base
stealer of the Braves, and it is that
edge of 16 bases that gives the Ath
letics their main base-running advan
tage.
Bested.
. > The Athletics, up to last Monday,
or,ave averaged 2.17 stolen bases per
Tame. The Braves average is 1.8.
Should the world series run six games
and both teams keep up their base
stealing averages during that series,
the result would be that the Athletics
will steal approximately 13 bases and
the braves 11. Is there such a won
derful edge in that?
Here are the base stealing records
of the Boston and Philadelphia play
ers who most likely will take part In
the world series:

There's more than an even change
that lie two teams will not maintain
their base-stealing average, during the
world series—not with Gowdy and
Schang in perfect form. Both rank as
the best young catchers in their re
spective leagues. Of the two, Schang
is a better all-around catcher, but he
hasn't any real advantage over Gowdy
in throwing.

IRE MANY ODDS
AGAINST LOCALS
Academy Lost First Football
Game to G. M. 0., 25 to 0---
Claim Incompetent Referee.
The tally sheet showed that the
final result of the game in Milledge
ville yesterday to be: G. M. C., 25;
Richmond Academy, 0. Those who
were present submit that the G. M. C.
points should be divided into two
halfs, the referee being credited with
an equal portion.
Coach Maddox, of the G. M. C.,
himself one of the squareat men that
ever donned football togs, wired Cun
ningham, of Georgia, to send him a
referee. Cunningham, on account of
the poor showing of his team against
Citadel, refused to let one of his reg
ulars go and sent, instead, a young
Mr. Wallace, a very pleasant faced
gentleman who, at odd timeH, mingles
with the Georgia squad. Mr. Wallace
is a most honest young man and there
is no doubt but that he called every
thing Just as he saw it.
His Trouble.
The trouble with Mr. Wallace, as
a referee, is that he doesn't see enough
and furthermore that he knows
mighty little about football rules. This
is borne out by the testimony of those
who saw the game, including some
Milledgevllle athletic authorities.
The Academy, outweighed fifteen
pounds to the man, had to depend on
open formations and especially the
forward pass. It Will be recalled, too,
that the local preps are exceptionally
strong at this style of play. Prac
tically every time the pass was at
tempted the man who was to receive
the pass was illegally interfered with;
several times, being knocked to the
ground before he could reach the
ball.
Protested.
Time and again, Coaches Wilson
and Learned and Captain Davis pro
tested.
Outweighed fifteen pounds, playing
on a heavy field at points ankle deep
in mud, which killed the advantages
of speed depended upon by the
coaches, the Acadetay team played a
wonderful game. Three times did
they hold their heavy opponents for
downs when they were less than ten
yards from the goal and had four
trials to put it across. They fought
every second—a gamer exhibition
against overwhelming odds has never
been witnessed.
Play Off Their Feet.
In one quarter, the second, they
played their opponents off their feet
and were only prevented from scoring
by the timekeeper’s whistle. On a dry
field, with a referee who knows his
business, the result would have been
different, there being little doubt but
that the Academy would have emerged
victor.
The two teams meet in Augusta
November 6th. Look for blood.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
ORGANIZED ASKS
11 QUARTER”
President B. B. Johnson,
American League, Says Has
Established No Peace Rela
tions, Nor Will Make Any.
Chicago.—Organized baseball has
made no overtures to the Federal lea
gue for the establishment of peaceful
relations nor will it make any, Presi
dent B. B. Johnson of the American
League, said here today.
Reports that certain American Lea
gue owners had conferred recently
with President Gilmore of the Fed
erals, to bring about a settlement of
the Baseball war were characterized
by Mr. Johnson as “pure tomimyrot.”
‘‘There is not a word of truth in the
story,” President Johnson said. "There
can be no peaceful adjustment of this
problem. When the American Lea
gue Invaded the game the club own
ers of our organization went In for
a fight to a. finish and never asked for
quarter. Organized ball was glad to
welcome us. The mere suggestion of
a compromise in this case never has
been conslddered by our club owners.”
SECRET PRACTICE,
BRAVES, ATHLETICS
Philadelphia. —fleoret practice In
preparation for the world’s champion
ship series with the Boston Bravos,
was started today by the Philadelphia
Athletics.
Manager Mack announced that the
National league winners would not
have their preliminary practice at
Hhibe Park, the home of the Ameri
cans here, hut would practice on the
grounds of the Philadelphia Na
tionals. They are expected to come
here from Brooklyn immediately after
today's game.

tween the Huperhas and the Boston
Braves. By agreement the last games

Inspectors on a charge of using the

the affairs of the Storey Cotton Co.,

was the man wanted. The govern

Philadelphia.- The Htorey Cotton
Company swindle, In which Arthur O.
Howard Is accused of being impli

more than 7,500 Inventors had been
duped by the glowing promises of the
promoters. While ostensibly dealing

vidends from the money sent by other
investors. Before the final crash the
seven alleged principals in the con
cern fled to Europe, but all except
Howard subsequently were captured.
F. Ewart Storey, alleged head of
the company, never appeared In this
country. It was testified at the trial
that lie was not a large English cot

ture claimed, but a former convict. He
was reported to have died in England
years ago.
Chief Postal Inspector Cortelyou
stated here last night that Howard,
who was general manager of the Sto

Europe and this country but always
had eluded his pursuers. Word was
recently received here that he was
