ATHLETICS MAY
. GET EVERY SERIES

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.--By winning
one Of the Labor Day games with the
Highlonders, the Philadelphia Attn
letics who have the American league
pennant practically cinched. brought
their seasons victories over the High
lanrers 10 twelve, thus insuring the
big end OF the series.
II Is not as certain as thing not
accomplished can be, that the Atm
letics will win every series. They
have already won the series from
New York, Cleveland. Chicago and
st. Louis, with ~. 10 and Is victories
respectively; have won eleven each
from Boston and Washington and ten
from Detroit. Another victory over
Boston and Washing and two over De
troit will give Mack's men clean
sweep IN every series.
Chicago, the probably winner In the
National league, will hardly fare SO
well. as the Cubs have won but eight
games from tho Pirates and must take
four OF the remaining five games TO
Get a majority of victories for the
season. Chicago has already won the
New York. Brooklyn and Boston
series and needs but one more victory
each over Philadelphia and ST. LOUIS
To make these series safe.

III MAPS pass. T|Q[D Could Ut hin

CLEVELAND, Sept. 6.-Now that
the Maps owner is trying TO land a
first baseman. and inasmuch as IL Is
probable that Manager Jim MCGUIRE
will try 10 develop one OF his kid
pitchers or an infelder into first
sacker, the handwriting on the wall
for Brother George Stoyall becomes
more prominent.
Manager Jim has not said so In as
many words. but 10 a man up q tree
IL looks as II Stovalrs days as a Nap
are numbered. The fans did not take
kindly 10 the first sacker's work earii-
er in the season. He appeared list
less at times and many were the argu-
ments the fans engaged In about the
chances that Stovall shirked.
Be that as Il may. there is no get
ting around the fact that OF late Stow
all Is playing In the form that made
him the best first baseman In the
league I'm 1908, not even Hal Chase
excepted. Stovall has jumped his
batting average to PAL. leads the
league In sacrifice hits with 26 and
has far the best fielding average CT
the first sackers. Stovall has the
edge on the great captain of the New
York Highlanders In making assists
and Chase has always been consider
ed In a class by himself In this re-
spect.

IL takes a long time to get old and
conservative ideas out of the heads OF
ball players. Even the most pro
gressive magnates are the most firmly
rooted in some of their antiquated
theories, and they don't wake up to
the march of time till some other fell
low pulls a bunch Of new stuff upon
them.
Uncle Arson, who certainly lasted
longer in a managerial berth than any
one before or since his day, thus
theorized between shots OF billiard
game. :.
"One OF the Oldest OF the theories"
continued the Grand Old Man, and
one that stuck the longest was this:
That the home team take first at
bat. The idea lasted for TWEEN
~ years or more. 1t lasted firmly
rooted till some fellow woke up, and
now the habit of taking last bat Is as
solidly established as II II were so
much baseball law. When the gong
rings for the battle now you invari-
ably see the home team streaking for
the field. while the visitors turn to
the pile of bats exactly as II the laws
of the game compelled such doings.
Do you ever see the captain of one
team hesitate, pause as he passes the
other captain, and engage him In de-
bate as to whether he wants outs or
ms?
And yet. under baseball law, he
could do SO. and the home captain has
the say For 90 seasons, however. IL
has become the immutable custom for
the home team TO take the field, and
no visiting captain would even think
of asking about IT,, Should visiting
leader. or his way to the bats, be
stopped by the home captain with a
shout OF you fellows take the field
I'VE are going to bat first" he would
probably have At Of apopleU.

ANSON RECALLS DAYS WHEN
HOME TEAM BATTED FIRST

Taking the last innings, so as to
have the advantage Of the chance for
final rally, Is the understood Gus
tom. And yet, for many seasons. 1t
was the other way. The home team
always took first bat, and simply for
an utterly absurd survival of the ira
ditions that surrounded backlots ball.
when our daddies played on the
vacant lots, and had only one ball to
pound around-as was the case In the
village or town-lot games-the first
crack at the new ball was considered
the greatest thing imaginable. II was
figured as a vast advantage, because
several runs could be whaled of the
shining leather, and by the time the
other team got to work the sphere
would be black and hard to hit. When
the game grew into professional pro-
portions and enclosed arenas, this
idea still stuck. For years and years
the home club took first bat as a mat
ter OF course, and not one of the moss
backs ever semeed to figure II out
that where the ball was continually
going over the fence II made little or
no difference who had first crack at
the first globule. New balls, OF course,
were always coming into play, and
the second team at bat would get
Just as many of them as the first
