YANKEES MAY BE
MUCH

New York, Oct. 24.-The American
league will make some move to
strengthen the Yankees for next sea-
son to offset the prestige Of the Gil
ants with New York fans.
A star player or two will 70 to
Frank Farrell's club In trades next
winter. Unless the Yankees are boil
stored up New York will forget the
hilltop grounds.
The Yankee club has never made
much money and this was an espec-
ctally bad season. with the Giants in
n fight all h way and the Yankees
running below the form expected Of
them. Less than 500 people attended
a number Of games at Farrell's park
late in the season.
Farrell and the American league
have one thing to be thankful for
h a the Athletics will probably win
the worlds series. The American
league hopes two more games will re-
turn the Athletics victors, to put a
dent in the Giants prestige.
II the Giants were to win the se-
ries 1t would be good night for he
hilltop club.
This season has been such a poor
one for the Yankees that Farrell has
abandoned his new park for the time
being. 1t is safe the new grounds
won't be ready until 1918.
A four gu Of five games defeat
for the Giants in the worlds series
would help some. but there is a long
winter coming for McGraw to explain
how 1t happened and for the fans
to forget.

Scrubs to Play Grafton

Grafton plays against the Grand

game with the university second team
Will give them a hard workout.
The university second team has been
weakened considerably in the past
week by the fact that a number of the
men have been transferred to the first

lteves that the Grafton team will be

There is no doubt about Grafton
having a fast team. Although they
were defeated by Fargo 8 to 3, it was
by a lucky touchdown only.

Philadelphia. Oct. 24.-The propos-

players in every league in the country.
The minor leagues have not been
taken into consideration yet, but they

John NJ. Ward. the famous ball player
of other days and now Il lawyer in
New York. will be at the head Of the
union. Ward has always coatended
that the ball player gets all the worst

UMPIRE r ON
THE BEST PLAY

Philadelphia. Oct. 24.-When you
find four umpires that agree that one
play is the greatest of a series it is
pretty near positive proof that such
is the case Bill KLEIN, Tommy Con-
nelly. Bill Brennan and Bill Dineen,
the masters of play in the series. were
talking together as they sat around
the corridors of the Bellevue-Strat-
ford, and talked over the prospects
Of having a game postponed.
The best play of the series. eh?"
said Connolly, in answer to a ques-
ton. well. I've got mine all picked
out . The play was made by Jack
Barry. and it was In the eighth in
ming Of the third game. Fletcher hit
a ball that was going at the rate of
a mile a minute. Barry fielded it
cleanly. I don't care so much about
that. but he went after the ball in
such a way that he was right in back
OF 1t, and in a position to throw.
Meant Everything.
That hit meant everything in that
game. and if Barry had not ielded
the ball so clearly. 1t would have been
all off with Coombs who was pitching
the finest game he ever pitched when
I was around"
mine," added KLEIN, land I want to
tell you that it was about as swell a
thing as l nave seen this year" Di-
neen and Brennan both climbed in
with a compliment, and agreed that
Tomasso had picked out the single
play of the series that was worth any
hurrah.
Speaking about Barry. Hughie Jen-
nings, the arch-enemy of the Mack
men, and who is boldly accused of
giving information regarding the Ath-
letics' weakness to the Giants. came
through with the strongest boost that
he has ever spoken Of his stalwart
foemen.
Picks Barry.
I'D rather have Barry the red
haired leader stated. than any 400
hitter in the ~businenss. There's the
best shortstop in the business. He
goes over more ground than any 9TH
er man I know; he is always in Il po-
sition to throw. and ms a thrower my
name for his is 'sharpshootcr.'
"Give me Barry at shortstop and I'd
eve lost q pcnnant with my team.
In a pinch he hits better than any
body in u league outside of Cobb.
He's the apple of my eye as short
stop. for I've played the position my
self.
None Of the old-timers MOI any
of the new ones are his superior. and
I think that he is the best mar in the
country in the place."
