TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6.

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: Athletics. Player. Games. S. B.

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.

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. The line-up follows: Academy. G. M. C. Philpot L. E Rhodes Martin L. E Franklin Rupert L.

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.

HELD; 57.000.D00 COTTON SWINDLE Howard Under Arrest at Provi dence. 7,500 Investers Fleec ed by Cotton Scheme. Used Mails to Defraud. Providenoe. R. I.—Arthur O. How ard Ih under arrest here by postoPlce Inspectors on a charge of using the malls to defraud In connection with the affairs of the Storey Cotton Co., of Philadelphia.

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 ton broker, as the company’s litera 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 rey concern, had been traced through Europe and this country but always had eluded his pursuers. Word was recently received here that he was living with his wife and children un der an assumed name in Provtdaooe.
