Greatest Games Before

NEW YORK, October 14.-With a
crowd of nearly 5000 base ball fans
keyed to the highest pitch Of frenzied en-
thusiasm, looking on in proud admira-
ton, the New York Nationals crumpled
the New York team of the American
League in the opening game of the post
season series at the Polo Grounds yes

ring battle surcharged with thrills and
sensation. That peculiar brand of sport
loving inhabitant who breathes, eats and
sleeps for base ball first. last and all the
time had waited many long years for
what happened yesterday in the cool au-
tumn spectacle under Coogan's bluff. At
every seasons end since the American
League established a team on the hill

prayed for the Giants and the Yanks to
clash. The collision didn't arrive until
Yesterday. and the explosion which fol-

the ambitious Hilltoppers. They fought

In which there was no disgrace.
,For several innings the Yanks were
stubborn and fought the Giants with the
advantage OF one run on their side. The
strain began to tell on Ford in the eighth
blow-up came, and the Giants scampered
around the base paths until five runs were
piled up and the game won. Matty never
let the fank batsmen get beyond his

times. but IT was az these moments that

NED HANLON PICKS
ATHLETICS TO WIN
Famous Manager Has Conf
dence in Co0mbs and Ben
der to Beat Cubs.
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 14.-Ned Hanlon
picks the Athletics to beat the Cubs. So
does Jack Dunn. Ned also thinks. the
Giants WIFI trim the Highlanders and that
the Cincinnati Reds will defeat the Cleve-
land Maps. Jack, too, is of the same
opinion. In the worlds series Hanlon
bases his belief on Mack's pitching de-
partment. Bender, Coombs and Plank.
Ned thinks, will outpitch any trio Chance
selects from the Cubs.
Bender and Coombs, Hanlon says, have
pitched winning ball all season. And so
has Plank. Outside Of Young Cole. the
Cubs haven't a pitcher who is dependable,
he declares. Three-fngered Brown mas
been pitching good ball in spots. Overall
and Ruelbach have not shown form.
Hanlon says that the games will be
pitchers battles. And that the heaviest
hitters will appear just as helpless before
classy pitching as the poor batters. 1t
will be remembered that the Cubs could
not do anything with Ed Walsh when
the White Sox took the worlds series
from the Cubs.
In reference to the Giants Yankees
series, Hanlon says the McGrawites are
the better-managed team, and that they
have reliable pitchers. McGraw will out

who has been the sensation Of the Ameri-
can League this season. blew up at a
critical moment yesterday. But he was
placed in q hole by errors. On the other
hand, Mathewson was placed in a tick
lish position by MerkIe. but Matty was
able to pull himself together, whereas
Ford could not. Austins blunder may
have been the turning point in the series
and 1t may lead up to the Highlanders
defeat for the intercity championship.
In the Cleveland-C Cincinnati series it will
be the Reds veterans against the Maps
youngsters, says Hanlon, and the men
with experience will come out on top.
Hanlon also picked the turning point in
the Detroit Pittsburg series last year. Ii
was when Babe Adams was pitching.
Detroit had a man on first and second,
with Bush at bat Adams was wild. He
had pitched two balls to Bush. The third
ball was high and close to the batter.
Bush, instead of making Adams pitch.
hunted the ball. Had he waited he would
have had his third ball. with Cobb and
Crawford coming up. AS it was Bush
went out and Detroit only got one run. If
Bush had waited it would have been the
finish Of Adams, for Clark would not
have kept the youngster in with the bases
loaded and the worlds championship at
stake.

ALL STARS COULD BEAT ANY
TEAMIN COUNTRY, SAYSMcALEER
Defeat Of Athletics Does Not Give Good Line
on Champions Milan Showing Fine
Form Playing in Good Company.

Moreland in the special dispatches from
Pittsburg to The Star?
The point attempted to be made by "A
Fan" was that both Lajoie and Cobb,
during the last few weeks Of the season
just closed, batted much beyond their
normal averages or. rather, much be-
yond their averages of the other weeks
of the season, and the figures given by
Mr.. Moreland show that this was the
fact. Then. II Mr.. Moreland's figures
be correct, the question naturally sug-
gests itself-why should these two CD
players suddenly be able to acquire bat
ting averages much higher than they
have been able to acquire during the
earlier and greater part Of the season?
These (2) players being contestants Tor a
valuable prize, and their sudden acqui-
sition of abnOrmally high batting aver
ages, coming at the close of, this contest,
assuredly lead to the suspicion that there
must have been unsportsmanlike con-
duct in the part of opposing players
either this or else 1t was i mere COIN
cidence or accident.
l know it is a fact that much COM
ment has been made by conservative al
mirers of the game Of late as to the very
high averages made by both OF these
players during the closing weeks of the
season, and much regret expressed that
the suspicion Of unfair play would natu-
rally follow. The gentlemen making this
comment expressing their regret-like "A
for years. They deplOre the fact that the
good name of the game-its greatest
and most valuable asset-should then be
brought under suspicion by contest be-
tween players for prize
Let us hope there will be no more such
contests for prizes and that the men who
are In authority will realize that the
game needs no such contest to make it
attractive.
The sole object the writer has in bring
ing this matter to your attention is that
you may in your article on the game
bring out the fact strongly to the atten-
ton Of the magnates and the public that
such contests are not good and can only
result in harm.
My apology il one is needed, for in
truding myself upon you is my love for
the game. FAN.
There is no reason for looking with
suspicion on the fact that Lajoie and
Cobb both batted al terrific gait during
the closing weeks of the season. as in
dictated by George Moreland's dope in
yesterdays Star. There were undOubt-
eddy. other periods during the season
ages. and incidentally there was one
period when Lajoie went through Ave
or six games with but single hit, and
Cobb had his slump, too. A player who
winds up the season with an average of
$50 does not necessarily bat at that clip
every month of the season, nor does the
player who bats but .20Onever have week
or month when he does much better.
1t seems but fair to consider the final
squirt Of the two batsmen a coincidence,
though. Of course, the fact that after
September 1 most teams were trying out
young pitchers did much to help their
averages.

PHILADELPHIA, October 14.-Guess

ball team, huh? If there was ever d
better outfield hooked up together, 1igur-
ing all departments of the game, than
Cobb, Speaker and Milan, we'd just like
to be apprised of the fact. And that
All-Star string of pitchers, Johnson,

We never got a smell OF a tally till the
terday for the scintillating ones we have
now taken a crack at all three OF the OF
pus.pg star twir1ers, and we haven't &C
complished anything worth blowing
about against any of them. While We got
a total of eleven hits off White yester-
day. they were splattered around through
the performance worse than handful
Of mud fired at barn door at a fifty
foot range, and four of them didn't put
in their appearance till the ninth inning,
when we got our two tallies across:
Bender, Coombs and krause collabo-
rated on the twirlng job for the home
folks, and again the Chief was the most
successful worker of the trio, as the three
hits acquired feminist the Chief were
scattered one to an inning, while against
both Coombs and Krause the Stars sue
ceeded in punching three hits In one
bracket, which in both cases were good
for two TALES.
McInnis played In center field yesterday,
and acted the part fully as we'll as any
finished center gardener could have per-
formed. so we weren't weakened in that

there was a certified check to cover

it is said. There are only 1900 reserved
seats In Shibe Park and they did not
last long when parceled out in big

Il put in an order for several box
seats for the worlds series last August
said one man last night. II got the
seats yesterday, but they were not box
seats and they were about as far back
as they could put me in the 81 section.
Yesterday a man from another city
waved box seats in my face. How did
he get them? II that's the way they
treat Philadelphians who support tho
team every day, / don't think they will
get their support another year"
II understand that in Chicago they
allowed one applicant only four seats.
That would have been the proper way TO
handle it. In that way at least 200
people could have been taken care OF in

told by a man who knows the list ~
those who received reserved seats Is
nearer 800 than 900. / think ii was a

All this unusual care about the dis
