"JIGGS" DONOHUE

Jiggs Donohue, the left-handed first base
man Of the Worlds Champion White Sox.
was one of the greatest factors in landing
the highest base ball honors for his team
His playing on the bag was as fine as any
work Of the kind that has been seen this
year. He repeatedly saved Robe and Davis
errors on wild throws. and he handled
ground balls like a crack shortstop. But 1t
was not only in his actual work on the
field that the Jigger was Of great assistance
to his team. His cheerful and COURAGEOUS
spirit was wonderful factor in keeping
up the morale of the Sox and preventing
them from growing discourage after their
overwhel Ginning defeat in the second game
Of the series These facts are familiar to
all who watched the games. 1t Is not SO
well known. however that Jiggs was the
spokesman against the proposition of Offer
ing to split the players share of the re-
ceipts with the Cubs, no matter what might
be the result of the series. The day before
the big games began the Sox held q meeting
at their grounds on the south side of Chi
cago to talk over the coming contests and
lay trap for the overconfdent Cubs At
this meeting some one carelessly preached
the subject of suggesting an even split of
the players money If the Cubs would stand
for such a proposition The Jigger was on
his feet in an instant. IT want to knock
that scheme with all my might" he said

CLOTHIER MAY BE
FIRST AT TENNIS

NEW YORK, October 22.-The ranking Of
the lawn teams players of the country is ex-
pected to be issued this week by the COM
mittee Of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association. So many unusual fea-
lures have entered into the work Of the top
class wielders of the racquet this year and
the reversals OF form are so many as to
cause more than the usual keen interest
preceding the formal issuing of the list to
prevail
AT the Yale. Harvard and Princeton clubs
yesterday many of the leading experts were
to be found, as the Indictment weather made
impossible all chances for outdoor recrea-
ton. They were ready to discuss the prob
able placing of the men who will head the
list this year. and within the charmed circle
of the top ten it is the ambition of every
follower of the sport to have his name
recorded.
That William ]. Clothier would be ranked
at the top was conceded by all because of
the time-honored custom that prevails of
giving that honor to the winner of the ma
tional championship. There were a number
who felt that Cfothier had competed In
but three tournaments during the season,
and that, even though he had won the high
est titular laurels of this country, he had
only shown limited amount Of real form.
One of the leading tournament players of
the season. who is close to the members Of
the ranking committee and has advised with
them. declared that William A. Larned
would get the place next to Clothier, with
Frederick B. Alexander third and Karl H.
Behr. fourth. Harold H. Hackett was likely
to get fifth place. although that niche might
fall to Raymond d. Little, who led the
American team to England for the cup
matches this year.
Further than this he was unwilling to
name the men as they will probably be
change was made at the last moment
neither Beals c. Wright. the ex-national
champion. nor Hocombe Ward both of
whom were on the cup team, would be
placed in the ranking. Their elimination
from the list will be the first time that, ire
spective of tournament performances in this
country. the members of the international
team have not headed the ranking list.
Because of the start that is to be made
today in the autumn woman's tournament
on the courts of the West Side Lawn Ten
mis- Club 117th street and Amsterdam ave-
nue., there was some action taken as to hav-
ing the woman experts of the country
ranked as in England, especially as the in
ternatonal matches are in prospect
1t is expected that this will be done
through Miss Helen Romans, the national
champion. who heads the committee in
charge of the tournament that begins to-
day. Miss Glover Boldt and Thomas c.
Trask. the Yale veteran, are assisting Miss
No less than six championships and tourna-
ments remain partially played. and with
some good weather they will be brought to
end this week.

BEST TEAM WON
THE WORLD SERIES

A. ]. Fianner. who served as one Of the
official scorers in the championship series
between the White Sox and the Cubs, is of
the opinion that the best team won and
that the outcome would have been no differ
emit If one hundred instead Of six games had
been played.
Flanner attributes the victory Of Comis-
keys team to better all-round playing The
A. l. representatives outshone their oppo-
nents in fielding, base-running and pitch
ing.
1t was In this latter department, accord
ing to F1anner, that the contrast was most
noticeable Barring Overall, every one of
the Cub pitchers was hammered to the
bench. Not a one of the Sox suffered such
humiliation.
White was taken out Wednesday, not be-
cause he pitched bad ball. but as q precau-
ton. Ragged fielding got him In a hole and
Fielder Jones did not want to take a
chance.
Isben was the player at fault. He got an
easy grounder. which would have forced a
runner at second and possibly resulted in
double play. Instead Of tossing the ball
to Tannehill on a straight line, he tried to
pull OFF a fancy play by tossing It behind
him. AS result the ball went to center
field and all hands were safe. Walsh was
taken out of Saturdays game. not because
he was knocked out, but Jones thought he
White on the bench and in prime condition
he decided to run no chances
The Cub pitchers were given the greatest
lambasting they ever experienced. Miner
Brown was murdered; Reulbach was
slaughtered; Pfeister was hammered into
kindling wood.
Flanner goes further than most critics.

FOOT BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS
FOOT BALL NOTES.

Yale. West Point. Dartmouth and Swarth-
more are the only ones Of the big elevens
that have not been scored on. Three others
that were in this class had marks chaiked
against them on Saturday. They are
Princeton. Brown and Lafayette. The
Tigers goal line has yet to be crossed by q
runner, however.
The most surprising things in Saturdays
games were Harvards big score against the
Springfield Training Schools heavy team
and Cornell's q points against Bowdoin.
While Yale. using her best players, could
only make one touchdown in each half
against Springfield. Harvard made eight in
all, and used twelve substitutes during the
game. Cornell overwhelmed Bowdoin,
making thirteen touchdowns and two goals
from the field Harvard made only ten
points against Bowdoin.
Cornell has run up larger total of points
than any other college, having made 165
In all. Indians are near the top of the
scoring list as usual, but 1t was like scalp
ing an infant asylum for them to take 81
points from Albright.
Despite Harvard's big score and Yale's
small one, Captain Wright Of the Spring
field eleven. said he thought the crimson
and blue about equal in strength. He at
tributed Harvard's showing to the wet
field on which the Cambridge men seemed
able to play better than ever
Burr of Harvard kicked only four goals
from the eight touchdowns. Those single
points count and missing them has cost
many a game Cooney failed twice out OF
the five chances he had for Princeton.
The Army made ten more points against
Williams than Harvard did. The Crimson s
game at West Point on Saturday is likely
to be close one. Last fall Harvard scored
but once up the Hudson.
West Point and Annapolis are running a
nip and tuck race on the score board. The
Soldiers have made SO points to date against
their opponents, while the Sailors have
made 81
Princeton. In this connection there is a
glazing truth to show how little past per-
formances count in foot ball. Princeton
defeated Lehigh SO to 0 and beat Annapolis
but to 0, yet the Middies were able to
score only twice on Lehigh, though aided
by their experience with the Tigers.
Dartmouth again this year has one of the
best teams in the country. The Hanover
boys made but one less point against Holy
Cross than Yale did and five more against
the Amherst Aggies than Harvard. They
play Princeton on November 8. Last year
they beat the Tigers 6 to O.
Michigans failure to make a touchdown
against Ohio State has given the Pennsyl-
Quakers now fully expect to beat the
Wolverines from Ann Arbor. Down in
Philadelphia they are talking Of Penn hav-
ing redeemed herself for the Swarthmore
defeat by winning from the hitherto in
vincible Brown team. Brown never has
shown herself to be In the same class with
Swarthmore.

the gates as early as O'Clock in the morn
ing. and this when the gates were not to be
opened until 2 o'clock.
In those days the Orioles. as the Bati-
more club was called. had the, entire state
of Maryland crazy over base ball. Railroad
companies ran excursion trains throughout
the entire season into Baltimore, and the
policemen who were on duty at the Calvert
street and Camden stations were contin-
ually called upon to direct wayfarers to the
ball park
I remember that at the first game New
York played in Baltimore during the Temple
cup series that more than 1900 persons
were unable to get into the park, although
belated fans were Offering from 81 to 50 for
a place in the line.
Men and boys labored hard at cutting
holes in the fence, only to find after the
holes were completed that their views were
INSTRUCTED by multitude OF human forms.
1t was this way during the New Yorks'
stay in Baltimore. In New York, with a
far larger park to accommodate the people,
the conditions were worse, IL possible. Spec
ulators got hold of thousa nds of tickets and
sold them for the most extravaganza prices,
and they were eagerly purchased, too. Three
hours before the game began there were
5000 people inside the park to witness the
first game. Two hours later II was esti-
mated that the spectators numbered 10000.
Admission was now refused to every one.
and the Brooklyn delegation. several thou
sands strong, that arrived at the park
nearly an hour before the game began, was
unable to get into the grounds.
Nearby buildings. wagons. trucks and any
old vehicle that was tall enough to allow a
person glimpse of the grounds was in de-
mand, and the owners Of such made few
dollars on the venture.
Enterprising policemen went into partner
ship with men who had long ladders up
against the fence. and for 81 you could as
cend the ladders and take seat on the
fence. The policemen received seventy five
cents of the dollar and the ladder men
twenty-five cents
This was undoubtedly the largest crowd
ever inside ball park, although 1t has been
claimed that the last year that Chicago
won the championship that on the Fourth
