Says Cubs Won't
 Be Allowed To ; Become Managers
Offers For Sheckard, Tinker and Evers Make Trouble in
 Chicago Team

Chicago, Oct. 4-More than a half dozen times this year stories have emanated from different big league cities that star members of the Cubs
 were being beseeched by team own- CTS with offers of managerial berths. The Cubs who were approached re- garding such positions were Joseph Tinker, James Sheckard and John Evers. There has been more talk re- garding this trio coming from Gin cinnati than from any other point.
 The star players On every team in both the American and National Lea gues have had allurihg baits hung up before them.
 President Charles Webb Murphy rea- lizes this creates dissC4sion in any winning organization, and will in the near future do everything he can to put a stop to the practice.
 .As a matter of prudence, it is my both now and after the sea- son. to be careful what is said about any of the Cub stars becoming man. agers of other clubs next year." said President Murphy in a formal state ment issued yesterday. If any club owner wishes to talk with me about securing one of our recognized stars as manager, the conversation must be in the presence of third person and with a stenographer present to take down just what is actually said on both sides. This precaution will be taken to prevent false statements finding their way back to whatever player on our team may be sought by other clubs as a manager next season. This thing of club owners talking with ball players about securing their ser vices for the future. before the club homogeneous having title to their services are consulted, is one of the evils of baseball, which must be stop ped.
 Tt is very easy to break up a win ming team by such methods, and teams that win flags are not so easy to acquire Or put together. It is very easy for a club owner who seeks a star player as manager to later say to that athlete, We wanted you as manager and would have gone to any reasonable extent to get you, but they wanted too much for you in ex- change" Nothing more need be said The club owner who covets the star player as manager has thus soWn the seeds of dissension, and the star player with ambition is made to be- lieye that he is being unfairly block ed in his efforts to advance to a man. agerial berth. We can't disrupt the Chicago club to provide a manager for some other fellow who has been unable to get winner, and we pro- pose to protect ourselves by having everything put down by a stenograph- CT that is said to Manager Chance or myself on the subject

Beit Reyes Not In It With Ginty
Landed Harder and Oftener Than Opponent in Ten
 Round Bout

Tommy Ginty. of scranton, Pa, out pointed Bert Reyes in fast ten-round bout at the Twentieth Century A. C., New York, last night. While Reyes kept boring in and forcing the fight throughout as far as his footwork was concerned, he failed to use his hands. and it remained for the Scran- ton boy to do most of the leading. Reyes was staged by the manage ment after Knockout Browns injur- ed hand forced him to cancel his en- gagefnent with Ginty.
 Ginty was there with a 1eft-hand uppercut that seldom failed to find a lodging place in the vicinity of Reyes mouth, and he had the blood stream ing from the lips from the round to the, finish. Bert turned loose a num- Der of fiercee right and left hand swings that would have finished the bout then and there had they land ed,s but his judge of distance was faulty, and Tommy ducked the blows without any damage. Ginty was fast at close quarters and used a right to the wind that told on his more exper- fenced opponent.
 In the third round, Reyes hit low several times and was warned by Ref cree Charlie White. These blows, how ever. did not seem to hurt Ginty.
 Ginty fought cautiously throughout the bout, but on several occasions rushed his man to the ropes and had the better of the infighting and also at long range landed often and. hard. Reyes superior ring knowledge saved him from a harder beating.

McGraw's Men Drive Pitching Wonder From Slab by
 Volley of Hits

Philadelphia, Oct 4-'"The Giants are
 lucky Champs. The Phi1iies are the
 class Of the National League" below
 ed Horace Schweitzer Fogel recently.
 Poor Horace must have felt like a plugged nickel yesterday when the
 Giants Pennant Special crushed the Quakers into a shapeless mass by a score of F to 3. The so-called 'class of the league looked like a troupe Of
 bushers, with Grover Cleveland sAlex- ander, the pride of FogePs hurling stable, looking like the bushiest bush CT of the lot. It was a glorious day for the Giants, and the Fourth of July series with the Dooin clan has now been avenged. The Polo Ground CTS have advanced sol far in the race that they cannot lose the champion ship. If they should lose alk their remaining ten games and the Cubs should win all their six games, the clans of. McGraw and Chance would be tied at the end of the season. But there will be no tie, for the Giants will clinch the pennant in the next day or two, perhaps today in Brook lyn.
 Connie Mack, manager of the Ath- letics, was in the stands yesterday watching the slaughter of the Phillies, and even though the Giants have not as many 300 clouters as the astute Cornelius can boast, he discovered that the McGraw troupe can bat a few. Fourteen bingles few from the Man haitian war clubs, the collection in cluding five doubles and a pair of triples.
 The sixth inning was a frame that Horace FogeR will not forget for the rest of his natural life. With the score a tie at three and three, and Alexander and Crandan going along smoothly, the heavy artillery of the Polo Grounders suddenly began to beleh forth volumes of shot and shell, and before the round was lover nine of McGraw's brides had dented their spikes in the plate. The carnage was terrible. Alexander was swept away after two doubles and. three singles had sent in four runs. Stanley, a Phillie southpaw recruit. was next led to the slaughter, and before he could retire the side five more runs trickled over the plate. The damage for the round was nine runs, eight hits, in- cluding three doubles and a triple, two passes, a wild pitdh. an error and two steals
 Otey Crandan dipped for the pen nant winners, and though he weather ed stormy first inning he Settled II Three singles, pass and an error netted the Quakers trio of counters in the first round, but from that time on the Indiana plowboy allowed only three scattered hits. Otey also was on the job with his little stick, crack ing out a pair of singles and drawing a pass.
 Jack Murray, the red-thatched pro- duct of Breen, Pa., was the man who especially impressed Connie Mack. "Red Jacks contribution to the. massacre of the Quakers was a brace of triples and a single, In the big sixthtJack inserted the single and one of the triples. Tn the first round Red" gave the Polo GrOunders fly ing start when he drove in two runs with a long drive to deep center. Murray tried for a homer on this welt, but was nailed at the pan.

College Stars
 Drive Laundry Team
Three Syracuse University Athletes Collect Collars and Cuffs in Order to Pay School Expenses,

Three star Syracuse University ath- letes start out every Monday morn ing, rain or shine, to collect the soiled linen of the university. And this is not undertaking story about washing dirty linen in public. The trio climb on the wagon and start the poor old horse to make their rounds in behalf of an agency they have taken.
 The one little horse hitched to a half-sized wagon, drags the three full-sized athletes, a total of 800 pounds of beef and brawn. Every chapter and boarding house on col lege hill hears the call, and the stu dents jump from their beds to do up their bundles between yawns.
 When the trio are not engaged in business as Knights of the Wash, they and athletics. P. D. Fogg, of Dor chester, Mass, is captain of the Orange gridiron team and plays right half-back.

YALE SCRUBS SCORE
 ONCE ON THE VARSITY
Block Oac of AnderSOn'S Kicks and Rush Ball Over
 Blue Line

New Haven, Oct 4AMachine-like movements describe the forward pass ing of the Yale Varsity, yesterday af- ternoon, in the first brilliant showing Yale has made in this detail of the game since the squad has occupied Yale field. The Varsity broke through the scrub lineup sharply, charac- teristic noticed in the game with Holy Cross. The regulars piled the attack back of the line, one of the big fea- lures of Yales work so far this sea- son. Merritt, in Howe's place, did some brilliant playing. On the whole practice days the coaches have been treated to, after their hard work, since things started at the field.
 Capt. Howe was out of the game. He is not injured, however, but he will probably be in but one scrimmage before the Blue lines up against Syra- cuse, Saturday. In Howe's place Mer- ritt ran the team for the Varsity and made a touchdown.
 Merritt's work was the brilliant fea- ture of the afternoons practice. He intercepted a forward pass made by the scrub team and after two rushes by Philbin made a quarterback run, which scored for the Varsity.
 The forward passing between Spaulding and Merritt twice made during the game, was the chief fea- ture of the afternoons gruelling work The passing showed the result of the work of the coaches along this line in the last few days.
 The touchdown for the Sscubs was made through a fault of Anderson who is looked upon as a coming won der. Anderson stepped back of the line to kick out after the Varsity had been forced back by the scrubs. His kick was blocked by some quick work on the part of the opponents and the ball was held down for the score.
 The Varsity lineup was. Howe, left end; Warren, left tackle; Francis, left guard; Ketcham, center; McDevitt, right guard; Scully, right tackle; Tom linson, right end; Merritt, quarter back: Reilly. left half back; Philbin, right half back: Spaulding, full back.
