Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW. YORK, October J.-Washington
fans may think that New York has gone
dotty over Cunningham, who has been
playing second base for the Senators
this week. and perhaps that is the case.
When young player comes into one of
the big leagues and hits the ball as If
he had. been doing it all of his life and
plays a pretty good game on the infield
1t is no wonder that the fans sit UP and
take notice. Three hits were made by
Cunningham yesterday. He would have
sent three runs across the plate If Milan
had not fallen sound asleep in the first
inning 1t was costly blunder on the
part of the Washington outfielder, and
It is just possible that it may have
oeen worth the game to Washington.
The Nationals would have had a run in
the first inning and perhaps more. Any
kind of start would have made it
harder for Quinn, and as the Washington
players showed that they could make
runs against the gentleman from War
saw with the name of Tipperary, he may
have just escaped a beating because Mi
Ian mapped.
Cunnirxshams first hit would have gone
to the deepest corner of any base ball
field in the United States if the ball had
been directed right. 1t slipped between
Cree and Daniels. and struck the outfield
fence on the first bound. When the ball
hits an outfield fence on the American
League ground on the first bound it has
to travel some.
RaIston was the kid with the oldest
luck. He had not been playing very
wonderful ball while here. Suddenly
he came out from under bushel He
caught two line drives over his head that
were about as fine a bit of running back
work as you could expect from Nc
Aleer. 1t took the crowd by surprise,
and when he got back to the bench he
was given the warmest kind of a greet
ing. Then knight batted a line drive
which Ralston should have got, judging
by previous form, but he never touched
the ball. and it went over his head for
double and scored three men. Ralston
said there was reason for it, The air
had become quite dark, and while he had
an idea where the ball was coming, he
could not locate it definitely until too
late.
He had not hit anything until yester-
day. Indeed. his batting was so light
that McAleer rather despaired about the
youngster. When he faced WARRIOR for
the first time Ralston laced the ball on
the nose and on line. If Cree had not
jumped about five feet up and stopped
it on the bound the kid would have had a
home run. The stop was about the best
that Cree has made all the season, and
he has pulled off few of somewhat the
same type.

II am sure that with Hughes in form

McAleer is by no means satisfied that

that the local outfield should be strength

To Bar Spectators.

Although these prices are quite a bunch
over those usually prevailing, when the
accommodations are considered Philadel-
phia cranks will fare more favorably than
those of any other city in which world s
series have been played. There is not d
point in the majestic pavilion at Shibe
Park from which a clear and uninterrupt-
ed view OF every play made in fair gorund
and the majority of those made in foul
cannot be obtained. and the majority of
those who may witness the games from
the open seats will be nearer the scene Of
action than many of those who pay the
two-dollar rate in other cities. Every eff
fort will be made by the management to
keep the tickets in the hands of legitimate
purchasers, and with that end in view,
and to prevent the extortions of the spec
ulators, they may be compelled to adopt
measures which may appear to be hard
ship at first glance, but which are meant
to safeguard the interests of the general
public. When, where and how tickets may
be procured, with the number which may
be secured by one person, will be made
public after the meeting this afternoon.
Team in Fine Shape.
Manager Mack is now rating the Ath-
letics along at an even pace, just calcu-
lated to keep them in proper trim for the
supreme contests of the season. Every
man on the team is fit, and if base ball
intelligence can do it they will be kept
in that condition until it is all over.
There is no blowing, no boasting about
winning four straight off the reel, but
the entire outfit is pervaded by an air of
quiet confidence, which indicates no doubt
on their part as to the outcome of the
series. They know that among those
speculatively inclined the Cubs will be
the favorites, but they also know that
the same condition existed in 1905, when
the short-end White Sox came out of
the big end at the finish.
