OWNER MURPHY Planned.
St. Louis Club Official Blames
Him for Worlds Series Mix-Up.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, September o.
Chubby Charles Webb Murphy, owner Of
the coming National League champions,
was duly panned by st. Louis National
League club Official here in town yes
terday for the alleged statement issued
by Murphy that the Cardinals were hold
Ing up the worlds series. By this Muir
ply means that st. Louis is holding up
affairs by insisting that the schedule be
played out as arranged, Which runs the
games up to October IA.
But Secretary and Business Manager
Seekamp of the Cardinals came out fiat
footed yesterday during the slaughter at
Broad and Huntington streets, denying
all Of Murphy's charges and placing the
blame on the Cubs shrewd and cunning
owner. Says Seekamp:
Il would like to know who it was that
forced the playing of the games in Chi
cago September 3 and H." said the Mis-
sourians' secretary.
September we were told that the
game would be played in spite Of the
doubtful conditions. and although we had
were at the last moment informed that
the game had been called off and post
poned until October b. The same thing
happend the day before. Now whose
fault is that we are obliged to play on
the off days in October when the worlds
series should have been played? Yet Mr..
Murphy continues to say that it is up to
ST. Louis.
Mr.. Murphy has never seen us on the
matter of the worlds series dates, and 1t
Is surely up to him now to do something,
especially as I warned him as early as
May 30 that there was likely to be
clash in the matter Of dates"

ROSS K. WINS TROTT|NC
STAKE IN FAST. TIME
Illinois Stallion Proves Too
Speedy for Swift Field in
Grand Circuit Races.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 5.-Ihe
grand circuit horses resumed racing yes
terday afternoon, after a two-day vaca-
ton. in manner which. if continued
through until the end of the week, will
make the last link Of the famous clain
one of the most interesting of the season.
The feature of the program. the five
thousand-dollar purse for o.n5 PAGERS
was won in straight heats by the
favorite, Ross *. The time, 2.OSi4. 2O31z.
2.O4k, made over a track still heavy iIcm
the terrific rainfall of Saturday, tells
that he had no mean field behind him.
The attractive stallion from Illinois,
however, laid a second. at least. over the
best of his competitors. and he never
was in trouble. The field buyers were
hard hit, as they did not count him fast
enough to handle Ess II. Kay and Merry
Widow. The York state stallion H,ade a
sorry showing, being distanced in the
first heat, while the Canadian mare could
not force Ross X. to a drive after konl-
baugh had very carefully laid her away
two heats.
The aged Major Mallow, which year
ago won second money In this same
event, repeated, and was the surprise OF
the race, as it was he that was next t.
the winner in the fastest heat.

IN AND OUT FIELDS.


Although 1t takes four men to make an
infield and only three for an outfieid
there are more good infelds than out
fields. 1t seems to be easier to find four
infielders. who, as group. measure up to
standard, than to find three such out
Aelders on one club. True. the inhelds
have more chance to show what they can
as throwing and cutting OF long hits.
doesn't appear even relatively as often
a. fancy infeld work
There are only three outfields in the
big leagues. which, for grounc covering,
throwing and speed in getting after long
hits rate up TO Al grade. These are the
Detroit. Chicago National and Pittsburg
outfeids. Notwithstanding Pittsburg' $
bumps this year Clarke, Leach and Will
son are three sweet gardeners. Hoffman.
Schultz and Sheckard are an outfield hard
10 improve on, while Cobb and Crawford
are pippins. with either Mcintyre or Jones
in lef. classy enough to At in nicely.
Lewis, Hooper and Speaker OF the Red
Sox make a pretty nice outneld and one
likely to get better.
The best infield In the country Is that
Of the Athletics-Davis, Collins. Barry
and Baker. II can hit. run bases. and on
defense Is nearer to air tight than any
other present day quartet. Stahl, Gard
ner. Wagner and Lord are fast four,
but without the class at all corners OF
the Athletics. Chance. Evers. Tinker and
Steinfeldt make a strong Gordon, but one
which has q shade less Of the fire Of
youth Of the Athletics four. Merkle. Doyle.
Bridwell and Deylin are combination
not as evenly balanced in ground covering
ability as could be wished. the greater
ability being on the left side.
The New York Americans infield Is also
out of balance. having q preponderance
OF ability Of the right side. Cincinnati's
infield liz well balanced. and SO Is that OF
the Philiies. Pittsburg's always has lack
ed finish at first base. but q hummer 9th.
erwise. Cleveland is stronger In the mid
die than on the extremities. Brooklyns IL
fast individually. lacks stability as q
whole, but is likely to improve. Bresna
han has tidy infield and one that car

inclusive.
Take any of the present infields ane
they do not outshine bygone infields o
the y-Lowe-Long-C STANDARD
or Of the Doyie-Reitz-Jenninss-M cGrav
standard. But then those two were in

HARRY DAVIS THE PIVOT
FOR ATHLETICS IN SERIES
Veterans Steadiness and His Batting Will
Count Against the Cubs, Philadelphia
Fans Believe-Has Much Experience.

Athletics revolve. On the field he is
supreme. Every spring the report is
shipped north that Davis is ''all in but
when the season opens Davis is always
found guarding 1t we'll. But playing first
base is only a habit with Harry. 1t Is
in pelting the ball that he has always
delivered the merchandise.
OF course. Davis isn't banging the ball
to all corners Of the parks as he did
some time back; his eye isn't as clear
as 1t once was. but. at the same time. he
places the willow against the leather in
a very healthy manner every now and
then, and usually he breaks up the game.
Davis didn't head the list of home-run
hitters last year. nor the year before,
but in nine years he has made a total
of sixty-seven home-run drives, which
is somewhat more than any other player
in tine league can show in the records.
In addition to the home-run swats, Davis
is credited with Do two-base hits and Is
triples.
Buck Freeman had the call for long
distance hitting in the early days of the
league. with Lajoie. Seybold and Hick-
man his rivals. Three of these players
have passed to the minors, leaving Lajoie
and Davis of the old guard Lajoie led

with Il. Seybold reached the top-water

second, with II.
Then Davis came to the front He
topped the list for four consecutive years.
He made ten homers in 1904, eight in
1893. twelve in 1906 and eight in 1907
''Wahoo Sam Crawford made his bow
about this time in the ranks of the home
run clubbers. replacing Davis as the
leader in 1905. with seven four-baseA
smashers. Davis had five. Last year
Cobb led the league. wit hnine, Davis
having four. But the record made by
Davis I'm his nine years of play in the
American League will stand a lot of
hammering before being replaced.
