Worlds Series Stars
Fall Out by WaySide
Players Who Were Prominent In Big Games Seem to Be
HOOdOOed

Is II a Jonah to be one Of the shining
lights in the worlds baseball series?
The hoodoo that seems to pursue the
lead one to believe so.
Bill Dineen, who practically pitched
Boston to a victory over Pittsburg is
now an umpire on the American league
staff. Most people are willing to take
an oath that no greater calamity can
befall a man.
Billy Gilbert, whose batting played
as prominent a part as Mathewson's
pitching In the Giants victory over
Philadelphia in 1905, is no longer a big
Lacquer. He played his last engage
ment with st. Louis and is now having
his troubles holding up his end in the
minors
George Robe, whose work at third
base and particularly at the bat made
the Chicago White Sox's victory over
the Cubs possible in 1906, has been out
of the big league for several years. He
has since shifted his affections to first
base and is now playing that position
for the New Orleans team of the
| Southern league.
No two Detroit players played better
ball IN the series of 1907 than Charley
| O'Leary and Claud Rossman. Before
the opening of the series Rossman was
regarded as the feeble sister, but his
work was superior TO that of Franz
| Chance. O'Leary is now playing utii
| ity roles for the Tigers. while Rossmar
has dropped out of the majors.
Johnny Killing was the big show II

"Old Fox failed to look the youngster
over. Griffith couldn't get Collins now
for fortune.
Scarcely less phenomenal and me-
teoric has been the career of Third
Baseman Baker. AS fielder this fell
low stands out as prominently at his
position as does Collins at second base.
Baker is a heavy hitter and finished
base runner. though in both these de-
partme1ts somewhat inferior to Collin1.
This young gentleman stands a monu-
ment to the managerial ability of Con-
ME Mack. In the spring of last year
he appeared the biggest frost that ever
donned spangles. Yet before the end
Of the season Mack had converted him
into the sensation of the year. Had
Baker not been spiked by Ty Cobb near
the close of the season 1t is generally
believed that Philadelphia and not De-
troit would have played the Pirates fol

In the National league Frank Chance
has his Cub machine ing along at q
grand pace It does not seem possible
that the New York aggregation viii be
able to cop the bunting this year. The
poor showing of the Pittsburg team
has been the surprise OF the. baseball
season. especially so after winning both
the National league pennant and
worlds championship last year.
Pittsburgs failure is no. hard to ex-
plain. Not only did the greatest play
er Of all time-Hans Wagner-slumped
in his work. but apparently every man
on the team hs-@ lost his snap and dash.
The old fire and spirit which were SO
prominent last year are no longer there

then brightens UP and then quickly dies

THINKS THE CARDS WERE

President Dreyfuss OF the Pfttsburg
club Is Of the opinion that tho deck
was stacked against him in the deal
whereby the Cincinnati Reds secured
Pitcher Benton from the Macon (Ga-)
club. Ptttsburg offered $1,000 for this
player, and an hour and half later
the Reds offered the same price. The
Macon management wired Garry Herr
mann that his bid was $3.50 too low.
and when this raise was called Macon
sold to the Reds. This action was
taken by the Macon management after
1t had been announced that bids for
Benton would close at a certain time.
When this time arrived the Cincinnati
bid had not been received.

II tional leagues pennant races
the two organizations are beginning TO
shape themselves so as to give the rams
a very rood idea as to which teams
will fight L out for the worlds cham
pfonship tt fai'. OF course there
may be an upset In either league be-
fore the final games have been played
in the 1910 pennant struggle; but.
Judging from the class of ball certain
cluhs hrve been playing, 1t appears
that picking Philadelphia In the
American and Chicago in the National
would not be such a bad gteSs as to
the probable outcome OF the leaders In
the two leagues.
Manager Mack has everything that
he needs to pull off the trick and Is
almost ire that he will do 1t. He has
the best balanced well as the
strongest team in the league this year
and has worked his way to the top In

1908, and last year Killing did not play
ball. Believing his work during the
season and in the series had a great
deal to do with the Cubs success
Killing held out for a fancy increase in
salary. He didn't get it and refused
to play, thereby losing his big salary.
Coming down to the series of last
year. take the two idols of the Pitts
burg team. Babe Adams and Hans
Wagner. Wagner by his great work
in all departments of the game kept
the Pirates in the running in every
game, while Adams by thrice defeating
Detroit made IT possible for the Pirates
to be labeled the worlds champions.
Adams has been getting his bumps
regularly this year, while Wagner has
been hitting like the immortal Casey.

FAMOUS ENGLISH PEDESTRIAN.

England has a famous pedestrian
who is somewhat of rival of Edward
Weston. 1t Is the octogenarian walker
Mark All His latest effort is to walk
5000 miles IN 80 days. All originally
started out in 1900 TO walk 100000 miles
in ten years. He finished his task on
July 81, 1909. In the September fol-
lowing he was once more on the move,
for he intended to keep walking for
ten years, and he set himself to cover
$1,000 miles in 200 days. He actually
did the distance in 1876 days, completing
the last mile on April 4, 1910. When
he finishes his latest 5000 miles he
will have tramped $4,000 miles since
August 6, 1900.

in 1908 that Davis had about outlived
his usefulness. and there was some talk
of Mack releasing him SO that he could
accept the management Of an American
league club. But Davis came back last
season with all his old snap and vim.
This year he is even better than last.
While there is little of the fancy style
in his makeup. Davis is a steady. heady
and capable fielder. He stands second

ely Paper" Carries Woe To
The Happy Family OF Smiths
Pate Families Makes Matters WorseThey Were Original
Flies, Says Mamma Smith-You Always Find Them In
the Country-Sat Peacefully Smoking
Through It All
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

hn was armed cap-a-pie, as it were, with
large rolls of stun which. II they had
tsen labeled would have spelled the
words:
Fly Paper
Now the main point of this story is
that Pater Familias had never mentioned
to a single solitary member of his fam
lily that he had any intention whatsoever
of bringing any fly paper home. nor did
he think it necessary to say Just when
he brought it.
1t was there and that was enough for
him.
A few days afterwards he aeknowl-
edged that he had meant the affair to be
scrt of a surprise party for he had
confidently expected when he had scat
tered the fly paper about over the house
that the flies would be among the dear
departed.
So he generously placed here and there
large particles of the aforesaid fly paper
and he felt an inward and spiritual sat
isfaction as of duty well performed as
he placed each piece in it's proper place
to accomplish its mission.
But before the dawn OF the next morn
ing the family had become aware of
in the pleasant way that Mr. Smith had
expected.
What Internal mess is this?" cried
the eldest son as he came home late
in the afternoon and placed his best new
Panama in the geometrical center of a
rectangular piece of fly paper on the
hall table
will anybody please tell me whose
brilliant idea that was?' he growled, while
Re tried to pull his hat off of the paper.
Don't throw it on the floor, DEAR
said his mother placidly. while she tried
to extricate her ostrich feather fan from
another piece which had been surrepti-
tiously placed In dark corner of the
library.
How can a fellow help it's said the
eldest born; when his s25 hat has been
rrined?" and with that he flung the fly
,pc per on the floor. which promptly ad-
hered to, the hard wood as though it
we're a long lost brother.
Mother, do come up here," cried a
voice from the upper story, which was
recognized as that or the young lady or
the Smith family. Il have a panel of
fly paper right down the center of my
new organdie," she cried in great dis
tress.
In the meantime the cause of all this
woe was calmly disporting himself on
the front porch. peacefully smoking a
good Havana, while the family 'cussed'
and discussed" his peculiarities.
In the morning when he started for
town several important legal documents
which he had brought home the night
before had placidly adhered to a piece
OF the fly paper in the library, and as
he grabbed his hat he noticed the per-
fectly good Maltese cat sitting IN the
middle of nice sticky piece, the most
stuck up creature in the bunch.
There may be flies at the Smiths new
country home at the present moment and
there may not be. but one thing is cef
tain and sure. after the naledictions
brought down upon the head of poor Pa
ter Familias>he will not attempt to cut
them off In their youth and beauty, bu.
will allow them to die a natural death.
