Manager Pittsburg Ball Team.1

CManager P1ttsburg Ball Team)
Winning the National league pen
nant is the goal for which we strived
from the time the present season opened,
and now that this has been accomplished
we will try for additional honors in the
series for the worlds championship.
For weeks have been asked as to the
outcome of that series, but until a few
days ago we were not positive as to
which of the American league teams
we would be asked to meet. Now that
Detroit has won the title and will be
our opponents in the coming series.
feel sanguine that when it is all over
the title of worlds champions will be
ours.
I do not look for an easy victory. 1t
will be hard fought, and may take seven
games to decide 1t, but we will be the
winners. I believe that my team is a
stronger one than Jennings commands.
We are the Tigers superiors as a hitting
team; play scientific game of ball, and
have known nothing all season but hus-
tie. Our pitchers are, to say the least,
as strong as those of eDtroit, and the
fact that the Tigers have played in two
worlds series before is hardly an adj
vantage.
Many of our players have stood the
strain of seve Al hard campaigns, ana
We are used to being pitted against good
ball teams.
If we lose we will have no kick COM
ing, for our team is in perfect condition
and as fit as it has been at any time this
season. But we will win the majority or
games from Detroit, and it may even De
easier than l anticipate.

CLOSE MATCHES IN
WOMEN'S GOLF

Philadelphia, October Close and one
sided matches we're about equally num-
erous today in the first round Of match
play at the women's annual golf cham
ponship on the links of the Merton
Cricket club of Haverford. Three of the
four British visitors who qualified had
easy matches, so their quality is still I'M
proven Almost without exception the
better seasoned players were winners,A
there being an exception, however, in the
case of Miss Vida Llewellyn of Chi
cago, western champion, who narrowly
defeated Miss Georgiana Bishop of
bridgeport. who won the national title
here on the same course five years ago.
Miss Katherine Harley, Fall River pres
ent title holder, was barely beaten by
Miss Mary Adams, Boston, eastern cham
pion. while Misses Margaret and Harriet
Curtis, both former title holders, lost by
slight margins.

Pittsburu Is Excited.

Pittsburg October with the aim of
having the distinction of seating a great
err number of persons than has ever at
tended a single baseball game, the man.
agement of the Pittsburg National League
club is busily engaged in perfeeting ar
engagements for the opening of the world
championship battle between the Detroit
American and the Pittsburg National
club here next Friday At Forbes Field
a force of workmen is constructing 5000
additional seats after building a false
fence some distance from the present
boundary.
At the downtown offices of the club
clerks are swamped in the task of re-
turning letters, estimated to contain many
thousands of dollars, for the reason that
the reserved seat supply became exhaust
ed last Saturday. Veterans of baseball
games say they have not witnessed such
an amazing demand for seats.
How many persons will attend the
games here Friday and Saturday is ques-
tionable but from present indications an
estimate of 1900 to 10000 is believed to
be no exaggeration.
In the meantime Pittsburg, western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia,
not to speak of the distant majority
league centers or points thousands Of
miles away, are gradually working up
fever that bios fair to transform this
city into an enthusiastic mass of human
ity Spectators are coming from Port
land San Francisco and Denver.
An evidence of the great interest in the
contest can be had from the newspaper
arrangement Over 200 newspaper men
from all parts of the country will be
here to write accounts of the battle. In
addition there will be over 100 telegraph
operators present
Already the police department is maxi

I don't suppose that there has been a
more fortunate man in baseball than my
self / have played on several champion
ship teams, and have had the honor to
manage the team which has won three
consecutive American league pennants,
but my ambition will never be satisfied
until l have landed a worlds champion
ship, and I believe that we will accomp-
lish this within the next two weeks.
We are not the same team this year
that we were when the Cubs defeated us.
Our infield is 40 per cent stronger, and,
what is more, our pitchers will show bet
ter class. 1 am not undertaking Pitts

on top at the finish.
Pittsburg has great batters, but so have

ours. and as a field team is not a bit
stronger than we. There is one feature of
the game, however, where we excel the
Pirates. and that is in base running. We
are better performers on the base lines
than the National league champions, and
that is an advantage which counts for
much
To nv notion, the teams are more
evenly matched than has ever been the
case in the worlds series, and 1T will
come down to which team plays the bet

the Tigers will be the team to do this.

Alabama Oiling Up For

The work of the second half, how
ever. made some amends for the poor
play of the first period Between the
two fits DR.. Pollard held little con-
versation with his warriors in which
ii is generally supposed that he did
most of the talking as coaches usually
do at that stage of the game. That his
words had impinged was evident as
soon as the team trotted out for the
kiekoff after the rest Of 10 minutes.
Every play was driven home and gains
of five. ten. fifteen and twenty yards
were ripped off pretty consistently un-
til three touehdowns had been scored
An Interesting feature of the last five
minutes of play was the shifting OF
Countess from center TO fullbaek, whefe
he had been worked a little in signal
practice. The only trouble about it was
that he did not get a good opportunity
to show what he could do as the final
whistle blew a few minutes after the
change was made. However, he was
called upon once to advance the ball
and he smashed the center for some
several yards. II ne coulu De SpdAo'

Yesterday afternoon the canvas was
put up around the football field and
practice was held in secret. There was
no scrubbing but the football machine
got a good oiling so that 1t may run
somewhat smoother when there is an
other lineup. There will be hard
scrub games and signal drills during
the next four or five days in prepare

be pulled off on the campus next Sat

Baptfsts last Saturday in Montgomery,
il seems that the varsity may have to
let out some of its speed when the two
elevens clash.

University, October 5-(Special)-
Although Alabama won her opening
game from Union college. last satur-
day, the game was not as satisfactory
to the Crimson and White following as
1t might have been. It is true that
the making of three touchdowns in the
last half of 20 minutes duration was
pretty good piece of work, for the
Union team was fully as heavy as
Alabama, if not a little heavier; but
then there was that first half with
nothing TO nothing score when the
whistle for time was blown. And dur
ing the first part of the melee the boys
from Tennessee had held Alabama for
downs time after time and forced Cap
tain Pratt to put his toe into the
leather. Moreover. they frequently
tore great holes in the Crimson and
White line and crcled the ends though
