The back-stopping for Philadelphia
will be the same as last year. Ira Thorn
as, who took the measure of the famous
John King of Chicago, in last years
series, will be first choice behind the
bat, and Lapp, who caught one game
last year. will be close second Lapp
is young, and this seasons play has
improved him.
"Big Chief Meyers, Wilson and Hart
ley will catch for the Giants. But it is
needless to give biographical sketches of
all the newer stars of the Forthcoming
series. Experts agree that in no wise
can the outcome of the series or of
single game be expected to rest with a
single player unless it be the pitchers.
Team for team. the opponents are az
evenly matched as any two that ever
fought for the worlds title Experts
agree as to this, and recalling their
mistaken Judgment in picking the Chi
cago Cubs as favorite last year, they
are prone to play safe and declare the
outcome Of the present series to be a
matter Of delightfully."- doubtful uncer-
tainty"
In the betting, odds have been given
both ways. Local experts look back to
the wonderful rush of the Giants through
the closing stages of the league fight and
pin their faith to McGraw's rush them
Off their feet" slogan and the pitching
Of 'Rube" and "Matty," supported by
the all-romd excellence of the team.
Philadelphia supporters take account
of the fact that their favorites are al
ready world champions and that they
won the title by trouncing the Chicago
National league club, which gave New
York a close race for this years league
title. They believe that General Mack
has plotted out winning campaign and
that his men with an average of 800
at the bat and with what they consider
the finest infeld in either league, win
take world honors as handily as they
captured the league pennant this year.
In batting the Giants lead the Ma
tional league at .27l, coneeding % points

GREAT TEAMS CROSS BATS.

Carlisle school for his education and
promptly evinced his fondness for the
great white mans game. After leaving
college he Joined the Harrisburg Pa,
team and in 1903 was brought into the
big league by Connie Mack, lie became
one of famous quintet OF twirlers
which brought Philadelphia into its see
ond league championship in 1905. In
the world series he was the pitching hero
of the only game which the Athletics
took from the Giants that year On
the other hand, to him is charged the
only defeat suffered by the Athletics
in the series with Chicago last year,
though this came after he had allowed
but one hit for eight innings.
With the Indian IN the box is, as was
the case last year, Jack Coombs, the
real hero Of the last SERIES Coombs,
known as Mack's imam Of IRON won
three straight games in the 1910 series,
feat which the Giant Mathewson had
equalled in 1905.
Coombs is q years old He played
at Colby college in Maine and graduated
at once into big league company with
the Athletics in 1906. He is exactly the
same height as his pitching mate, "Chief"
Bender, 6 feet inch. He is holder OF
records, one Of them being the famous
24.inning victory over Boston in 1907
During the 1910 season he went SO in
nings at one stretch without letting an
opposing club score on him.
Bender and Coombs will be called upon
it is believed, to do most OF the pitching
in the series at hand, but as the Giants
are said TO be weaker before left hann-
ers. it is possible that the two south
paws" Plank and Krause. will be given
chance 10 distinguish themselves
Plank was one Of trio Of twirlers who
won for Philadelphia its first taste OF
league championship in Macks second
year. Veteran though he is. at the agc

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Madam Ky the Greatest Dramatic Hit
in Years, in Barre Next Wednesday.

MADAM X is what the player.folks
call growing play. Its methods and
situations are so intensely interesting
that instant favor is always accom-

Much has been related of what is said

SHERMAN FOR USING PRODUCTS.
Vice President Believes Future Genera
tons Will Find a Way to Live.

Sturgis, Mich. Oct. lathe policies
of former Chief Forester Clifford Pin
chot in particular and the idea Of strict
conservation in general, were criticised
rather severely by Vice President James
s. sherman Thursday, in an address
made here at the opening of the new

The keynote Of the vice presidents adj
dress was that the present generation
has the right to, and should utilize nat
ural forces and products to its. best adj
vantage, and let the succeeding genera
ton use its wits and devices to make
existence comfortable.
Mr.. Sherman said. in part:
"He Il the best conservationist who
utilities the forces of the air and all
the hidden forces of the earth for the
advancement of mankind and turns these
forces into comforts and conyeniences
and makes them supply necessities and
in other ways Tighten the burdens OF
this generation.
y believe chat each new generation is
equal to the task of discovering some
new thing to take the place Of any ex-
hausted natural resources. / am will
ing to give the coming generation credit
for being as smart as we ! believe
they win find fuel. 1t may be that
they will invent appliances to squeeze

The time required for the assembling
is yet matter of uncertainty. Ii is
improbable that its first launching into

day although it is unlikely that any
time viii be lost in getting the ma
chine together, as the wind is now just
right.
A wind of twenty-five miles an hour

the machine can be got together for
trial flights late this afternoon. If it
cannot be got ready to-day no flight
will be made before Monday, as no work

Would Help Central American

URGES SUPPORT AGREEMENTS
Points to the Good Work in Santo Do
mingo-Treaties Place the United
States Under No
Obligation.

Sacramento, Cal, Oct. l4.President
William II. Taft, speaking in this city
yesterday, discussed arbitration treaties
and more particularly referred to those
with Honduras and Nicaragua for the
purpose of securing a loan to those re-
publics.
He spoke Of a craving for more eff
fectiye means of preserving peace, grow
ing out of "the desperation with which
the great nations are increasing arma-
ment, making Europe an armed camp
with the growing menace of bankrupt
cy.p
There has been very little war in
the past % years he pointed out and
the increase in ornaments finds one
reason in rivalry between nations.
Universal arbitration treaties win
eventually mean a reduction of arma-
ments.
Wars in these days, however, are apt
to be rebellions rather than conflicts
between nations. They are the result
of unstable governments and the cut
pidity of executives. Rebellions have
been numerous in the Central American
republics and have greatly hindered the
progress of those countries. Peace for
a decade or two would mean prosper
ity. In Honduras, there have been sew
en- revolutions in 10 years.
The arrangement made by President
Roosevelt whereby Americans were
placed in control OF the customs houses
OF Santo Domingo has given that re-
public peace and the difficulties of the
Central American states might be over
come in the same way
Mr.. Taft felt that lie could not dis
cuss with patience the objections in
the Senate to the ratification of the
treaties with Honduras and Nicaragua.
They embody a humane policy, in his
view, and will throw open to the two re-
publics the doors of prosperity.
