First Game in Worlds Series Picked for the Championship

J. Ed. Grillo Lays Stress on Importance Of
First Game, and Says Both Man

when they see the park filled TO capacity
and then are paid for many less than
they have been led TO understand could
get into the place the usual howl will
go up. for ball players are a suspicious
lot in their dealings with club owners.
According to George Stallincs of Buff
falo, who is here to attend the games,
the Washington club has picked up two
cracking good ball players in Moeiler and
Foster. purchased from Rochester. Stall
lings is very enthusiastic about Moeller
whom ne declared to be one of the great
est young players in the game. Accord
ing TO Stall ingS. MOelers traducers have
accused him of being what is vulgarly
known a ''bonehead. but he comes to
his defense with the following
Calling young players boneheads
simply because they lack experience is
one of the dangerous things that a. young
player has to go against, said he 'When
it comes to knowing the game all young
players are 'boneheads' when they break
in. Lajoie and Wagner belonged to this
class when they started ont. and Moeller
is q whole lot wiser now than they were
when they came into fast company.
'Moeller is as fast as Cobb and he has
his slide I'll admit that | like him bet
ter than any young ball player | have
seen in recent years. and may enthuSe
more about him than | ought to, but,
take my word for it. he will make good in
Washington and be a running mate for
Milan
wherever he is played on the infield. for
he can both field and hit and is not
slow man on the bases"
The fact that Stallngs did not mention
Spencer. the first baseman purchased
from the same cub, is significant.

STAGE FRIGHT IN EVIDENCE

BALTIMORE. Nd. October 14-The
curtain was lowered on the Stage at
Criole Park yesterday for the rema inder
OF this season, and it was not very
suspicious occasion. 1t was not because
the Orioles AMI near-Orioles were de-
feated. but for the reason that some of
the playing handed out was. far below
par. or what they were capable of doing.
The score was to l in favor of the
invaders.
Poor fielding and some more poor field
ing marked the game here and there The
long lay-off probably had something to
do with the miserable showing on several
occasions. Yet at other times the work
was mediocre. At the bat the Orioles
were simply helpless before the pitching
'of Walter Johnson. the speed demon of
the Nationals.
The manner in which few of the Birds
hit at the ball reminded one of the cam
paign to swat the fly" in Baltimore this
summer. Walter famed eleven men and
allowed four hits. two of which were

Johnson; Walsh poled a single to right,
and Murphy did the same to left.
In the fifth inning Johnson famed Mai
sci on three pitched balls. He served
three more to Twombly. one of them be-
ing a foul. Hooper missed connecting
twice and some OF the others once With
the regular Oriole team in the field the
score would have been smaller. The in

long hit to center field in the first inning
was one of the longest seen at OriOle
Park this season. He could have made a
homer by running a little. His double
was a scorcher over second.

SELLING TICKETS TO
SPECTATORS FALSE

REGARDING the reported selling
of tickets to the worlds series to
spectators. William NJ. Gray.
secretary Of the New York club,
made the following statement
last night:
~ newspaper reporter told me
today ii had been stated to him
that a ticket spectator named
Marks had arrangements with
certain New York club officials
which would enable him to Sc
cure 1000 tickets In the worlds
series mt 80 cents advance

unqualifiedly as a malicious lie,
who can prove that any such ar
ranxement with Marks or any
other living Individual existed
whereby they could secure n sin
gle ticket for speculative pur-
poses.
81 would not have worked night
and day since last Thursday
night. with n large force of as
sfstants- to prevent spectators
from getting the tickets and In
nm earnest effort to serve the
pubic, IL the statement that we
stood in with spectators were
true.
"Any man who says that any
official of the New York cIub
stood In with speculatOrs in the
sale of tickets for this worlds
series IL just what l brand him,
malicious liar. and he can get
5000 of my money when he
proves he In not. This goes for
them all. now and hereafter.

miited that they had been on the ground
since O'Clock this morning.
Few ticket spectators were in evidence
during the early hours, evidently pre-
foIling tine ield of Broadway and the
hotel district until later in the day.
Rumors OF counterfeit tickets did not
worry the army waiting FOR general ad-
mission. They were to get their tickets
direct from the box offices and their only
concern was getting inside and grabbing
point OF vantage.
All the Giants reported at the club

Mathewson.
The New York players came early 10

Mathewson and Marduard. on whom

WOLGAST AND WELLS
FINALLY MATCHED

NEW YORK. October 14.-Ad Wolgast
lightweight champion of the world. and
Matt. Wells lightwe' ght champion of
England, are finally matched. They will
fight ten rounds at the Madison Athletic
Club here Friday. November 3 for a
purse of Sl9,C09. The men are to weigh
in at L.. POUNDS at = o'clock on the day
Of the contest.
For several days past there has been
much speculation as to whether or not
Wolgast and Wells would fight in this
city. One club offered purse of S22, 800
for the match a few days aso, but could
not guarantee to hold the fight. Since
then the managers of the various local
fight clubs have, been hot on the trail
of the match.
The fact that both men are champions
in their class, that they are conceded to
be SO evenly matched and that the con-
test viii! be an international one marks
the match as, perhaps, the most inn
portant Of the season here.

HEADS OF RIVAL
LEAGUES CONFIDENT

Thomas }. Lynch, president Of
the National League. made the
following statement last night:
.There Is only one thing needed
to make the year 1911 the great
est in the history of the National
League, and That is to have the
Giants win the worlds cham
piOnship. Such a victory Will
come as a fitting climax to one
of the most spirited races we
have ever had. The New York
team won after a keen fight with
four other teams, and 1t now re-
mains for it to recapture the
worlds flag from the American
League. McGrasv's men have q
fine chance to do this, and we
hope that the big banner will
float over the Polo Grounds next
year.
