PITTSDURG AND BOSTON
AVERAGES FOR SERIES
What the Players Have
Done Individually.
CHANCES FAVOR BOSTON
It's Pitchers in Better Form Than the
Smoky City Slab Artists-Phillippe
VS.. Young Today.

Six of the nine games for the baseball
championship of the world have been
played by the Boston team, the Ameri-
can League pennant winner and the
Pittsburg nine, the best aggregation In
the National League. Each has won and
lost three games.
The game in the Smoky City yesterday
was postponed. as it was too cold to
play. Today the teams will line up and
Young and Philippe probably be the op-
posing pitchers. So far, Philippe has
proven the Pirates winning slab ar
fist. and they are confident of breaking
the tie. For Boston, old Cy Young is
slated to do slab duty.
Judging from the showing made by
each team. the Pittsburg squad has ap-
peared the best in batting. while the
players from the City of Culture have
carried off the fielding honors.
The series. it is now thought by a ma
lority of fans in neutral cities. will re-
suit in favor of Boston, because at pres
ent its pitchers outclass those of the
Pittsburg tribe. of which Philippe seems
10 be the only one in winning form.

In another part of the Zoo visitors

brought to Washington recently. These
birds are from Germany, and were

PITCHER SKOPEC SUES
DETROIT BALL TEAM

Pitcher John Skopec who left the De-
troit team the night the Tigers started
East for the last series. has brought
suit to recover $3.50 which he claims is
due him as salary for the time between
his tilt with Manager Barrow, over the
sleeping car berth. and the end OF the
season. skopec was paid his salary in
full. says Secretary Henry of the Detroit
baseball club. but $3.50 was deducted
which Skopec owed as advance money
to the st. Paul club. from which team
the Tigers bought him. The local man
agement says the deduction from sko-
PEGS salary did not concern the De-
troit club in any way, but was merely
carrying out the order from the st. Paul
club.

Jim CORDETT INVENTS
AN OXYGEN PUMP

1t is the administration of oxygen to

He doesn't have 10 take a long breath,

Weather conditions somewhat similar

with difficulty that many were able to
keep the ball on the course.

HlOH-TONED MONKEYS
ARRIVE: AT THE ZOO
Doguera Sooty Mangaby, and Diana Make Few
Remarks to the Old Settlers.

A crowd of mischievous boys stood
outside one of the animal buildings at
the Zoo yesterday and sang with rhyth-
mic regularity an old verse that has long
been the happy medium for youthful
bantering, and which runs:
Thcre're animals at the Zoo.
1here're animals at the 100,
The monkeys cage is almost full,
But there's room enough FOR YOU
The youngsters had evidently been in
side the building TO see an installment
OF monkeys brought recently from New
York, and which was attracting the at
tention Of hundreds of visitors. The
new monkeys were in q specially pro-
vided cage and were, to all appearances,
lOrding it over older members of their
family who occupied the cages across the
aisle. All kinds OF monkey talk was in
dulged in. and the only thing the visi-
tors could do was TO look wise and pre-
tend TO understand what was being dis
cussed on the other side of the bars.
Ten New Animals.
Ten animals comprised the new group
and each was a specimen in itself Some
Eastern Africa. others were the Sooty
Mangaby, and there were examples OF
the species known as the Diana monkey

Stockholders Declare Such
Is Intention of Ban John
son, President of the
American League.
No Official Confirmation Of
Rumor = Successor Not
Named--Ryan May Man
age St. Louis Nationals.

TON Lotus will not manage the
Washington Baseball Club next season. -
This statement was made yesterday
afternoon by several of the largest local
stockholders. Ban Johnson, the high
mogul OF the American League, is the
man, it is alleged. who is responsible
for the pleasant information given out
by them. When Johnson was here sew
eral weeks ago. looking over the affairs
of the local club, he openly expressed
dissatisfaction at the manner in which
it was managed.
1t is well known that Ban brought
Lotus here against the wishes of the
washington fans. who wanted Jimmy
Manning retained. Ban has evidenced
time and again he is pretty willy chap.
But his action in dropping Manning. who
brought minor league team here which
finished in sixth place, has been con-
demned by local people as a piece CT
bad Judgment.
LOTUS started out last season with a
club which commanded an annual salary
OF $4,000 steep figure for a tail-end
team. The New York American League
Club. is the only one in the country
which paid out as much in salary.
The report that Lotus is to be dropped
next season is not official, but much ere
dence is placed in il by MANY persons
connected with the inside affairs OF the
Washington club. Johnson will be in
Washington next week, when an official
statement regarding the matter will
probably be given out. The name OF
LOTUS probable successor is not known.
