GIANTS END THE
SEASON WITH z
GAMES AT HOME
Men Will Rest Tomorrow, EX-
cept Practise New Set
of Signals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-rhis IS the
last day of training for the New YORK
Nationals, and after the Giants ave
engaged the lowly Brookiyns this
afternoon for the final contest in the
National League season they will rest
up for the opening game Of The worlds
series on Saturday with the Philadel-
phia Athletics.
IF Manager McGraw has worked
out a campaign for the games with the
Athletics" remarked Arthur Deviin
at the clubhouse this morning, he
hasn't told any of the players. All the
planning NcGraw will do will be done
when the Giants go to bat and Nc
Graw takes his place On the coaching
line. Wen get orders fast enough
when the play egins.'
Friday will be loafng day for the
home club. Most of the players will
remain at their homes during the
morning and then come out to the
park for light exercise.
Reports have it that the Giants have
worked out a new set of signals, which
will be put into play if it is discovered
that the Athletics are able TO read the
signals now N use by the club.

Ira Cannot Recall Any World
Series Won by Base
Stealing.

1.-THE thing about the worlds series
that has struck me most forcibly is this
talk of the New York players base
running. Being al catcher l am more
deeply interested in this side than in
any other detail" said Ira Thomas OF
the Athletics today.
Judging from the speed shown by
the Giants in the National League race
we Athletics catchers should be hav-
ing nightmares-but my dreams are as
sweet as ever and Jack Lapp and Liv-
ingstono don't appear to have been los
ing sleep.
Don't get me wrong. ! have. thought
a lot about the Giants base-running,
but the talk has not scared me.
at has been my fortune to play in
two worlds series and to see others,
and have yet to see wild or reckless
. work on the bases by the Chicago
Cubs. Detroit Tigers or the Athletics.
In a short series the players cannot
afford to take desperate chances unless
their team is far behind, and then it
is usually useless to burn up the paths.
Il give the Giants full credit for
their b~ase-running. but | m recall
a game in a worlds series that was
won by great feats in stealing bases,
u know that Mathewson is n of
the great pitchers Of the land. ebut l
won't take my hat off to him or any
other pitcher when CHIEF Bender IS
around. He is a wonder of wonders.
No one can show me where there is a
better pitching general.
Bender has everything a pitcher
needs and in a series of seven games
he is almost invincible. He proved this

NEW YORK, Oct. IAN indication
of what baseball officials expect when
the gates of the Polo Grounds are
opened on Saturday for the first of the
worlds series games is furnished by
an order which has been sent out to
the 400 employees who will handle the
mass of fans. To each mar the fol-
lowing notice has been sent: TT will
be necessary for employees to report
at the Polo Grounds Saturday, October
IA, at 7:30 o'clock in the morning.
Please answer this order at once by
postal. It will be necessary to keep
this card and present same at gate
in order to obtain entrance to the
grounds"
There has been only a little betting
here thus far on the result of the series,
although many thousands of dollars is
being held for bets on the Giants.
There is also plenty of money to wager
or the Athletics. but the would-be bet
tors are looking for odds, while most
New Workers are seeking even money.
1t is probable that betting on single
games will attract a much larger guam
tity of money than on the result Of
the entire series.
The New York club management has
decided to abandon the plan to build
a temporary stand in front of the un-
covered stands in the outfield. The
seating capacity of the permanent
stands is nearly 10000, and the early
applications for seats Indicate that this
will be almost sufficient, with the ad-
dition of the available standing room.
accommodating 5000 spectators. 1t has
been decided hat the playing field
shall not be invaded except by players
and umpires.
-Four umpires have been assigned TO
officiate in the series, two from each
major league. When all four are to
be used, two of them will be stationed
in the outfield to decided when balls
have been batted among the fringe Of
spectators, restricting the number Of
bases the batsmen may take, while the
other two umpires decide bases and
balls and strikes. Four umpires Will
not be needed in any of the New YORK
games unless it is intended to place
one at the end of each foul line.

B. FREEMAN
WILL COACH
THE XAVIERS
Local Athlete Takes Charge of
New York Athletes--Has
Had Good Record.

Bart Freeman, the local middle dis
lance runner who formerly represented
The Xavier a.. A.. of New York. in open
A. a. L.. competition, has been APP
pointed coach of he track team of
the Xavier Club.
Freeman has always been a close
student of the athletic game, and in his
eight years as a competitor he has a
fine record. For the past four years
about one-half of the Xavier track
team has been composed of Jerseymen,
and Bart Freeman has been chief ad-
wiser. Bart has developed a Jersey
Xavier team that is a credit to him.
Some of the Newark boys brought out
by Bart Freeman are Hal Holland,
Andy McDonough, Willie McDonough.
Edward Ritter, Howard Conger, George
Vreeland and Chris Knispee. With
such men as these, and the other mem
bers of the track team from New
York, Bart is bound to develop a team
that will take a lot of beating. and
will long be remembered in Xavier
history.

position l had in 1905 of sandwiching
in between Mathewson's games.
The first game that year vas played
in Philadelphia. Matty shut the Ath-
letics out. l pitcher the second game,
against Bender, in New York, and we
were shut out, 8 to 0. That New York
team had the goods, all right, and,
just to show you how much depend
ence you can put on the dope, Billy
Gilbert, one of their weakest hitters,
was the star of the seris. Matty shut
out the Athletics In the third game,
and / shut them out l to 0 in the
fourth game, pitted against Bender.
Giants VIII Hit Bender.
The Giants will hit Bender harder
than they did in 1905, you can mark my
word on that. The Giants are a better
hitting team thar they were then. and
Bender is no better than he was at
that time. In all probability Coombs
will be more successful, and I look for
Manager Mack to sla,e Coombs for the
initial and most trying performance.
The first game is the one both mana
gers want. 1t is perhaps the most
decisive game, 1t is a fact that with
one exception the tearls that have won
the initial struggles have been the
teams that copied the series. The only
exception t. that wa5 the series be-
tween Boston and P%ittsburg, in 1903.
After losing three straight games to
the Smoky City tribe the Beauties won
the next four straight in a row.. But
that was one of the strange and
freakish circumstances that crop up
so frequently in baseballdom. The eX-
ception of that 1903 series, however,
only goes to prove the rule that the
team that wins the first game is going
to bring home the bacon every time.
First Game Gives Confidence.
There is a peculiar amount of con-
fidence established in the heart of the
team that pulls down the first victory.
That may account for it. ] see that a
special train will be run from the
Giants lining quarters al Marlin,
Tex, to New York. You might as well
say the whole town will be in New
York, for that is what it means.
/ hope and expect to see the Giants
repeat their victory of 1905. New York
should have the championship. The
fans there are entitled to 1t for the
liberal and faithful support they give
to their home team. but when my
friends ask me how to bet 1 tell them
to get on the short end.

OF GIANTS BASERUNNING
DO NOT GIVE THOMAS NIGHTMARE

in 1906 when he shut put the Giants in
one game and held them to two runs
in another, and again he displayed his
mastery against the Cubs last year.
THE Chief is now in the finest
form | have ever known him to be. and
if he retains this form l expect him to
hold the Giants down so hard hat they
will get mighty few men on the bases
to do any stealing.
Don't forget we have some great
b~a se-runners. I think. when it is over,
the fans will find the Athletics have
stolen as many sacks as the Giants.
Stick a pin in this prediction.
Every year We heal the wonderful
b-ase-runners that one team has and
what they are going to do. They have
got to show me, though, where the
National has better runner than the
American League,
Il think we are better equipped than
the Giants. We understand each other
to perfection. Every man knows what
tn expect. no matter what play comes
up.
II don't believe playing the first
game on the Polo grounds makes any
difference. A player whose heart and
soul are in the game doesn't hea the
jeers or the cheers. He is deaf to
these. Save McInnis and Oldring, all
our men have been through a worlds
series.
"McGraw and his coachers do not
worry us. They went get our goat
The worlds series is conducted upon
clean lines, Frul language isn't per-
mitted. l couldn't ask to meet finer
fellows than ] played against In W
worlds series, with the Athletics and
Detroit.
Experience and confidence should
help us, and I look for the Athletics to
win over the Giants, granting none Of
our players are injured and we get an
even break on the luck"

MORE CUBS
CHANGED
TO TIGERS
First Baseman Walsh, Ball, a
SecOnd-Sacker, and Catcher
Miller the Men.

Three more players have beer turned
over to the Newark Club by the
Chicago Cubs through the deals
whereby Charley Smith and Joe Agler
became members of the Chance aggre-
cation. Among the newcomers is a
first baseman named Walsh, who
played in the New England League
and was drafted by the Cubs, Walsh
is said to be a promising youngster,
and will be a candidate for Joe Agler's
job.
Ball is a second baseman. who spent
the season in the Three-Eye League
and was recommended by Bob Fisher.
The other man, named Miller, is said
to be a catcher of rare ability, but IT
is difficult to find anything of his
pedigree, there being so many Millers
enrolled in the ranks of the great ma
tional game.
A notification has also been received
by Joe McGinnity that a draft put in
for Pitcher Maggie. of the Syracuse
Club of the New York State League, ia
valid.

Long Branch, where his relatives live.
has signed a contract for next year.,
which, as already told in the Evening
STAR, will also contain a clause giving
him a bonus for the captaincy which
he will hold down.
Among other Tigers who have signed
are Martin K~avanaugh. the local boy
who worked out in a few games with

RED NAP SERIES
AGAIN TOMORROW

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 12.-There was
no game yesterday and there will be
none today in the i%nterleague series be-
tween Cleveland and Cincinnati to de-
eide the championship of Ohio. The
series will not be resumed until Fri
day, when one game will be played.
Double-headers are planned for Satur-
day and Sunday if the series goes that
long. The victor must win four out OF
seven games. Cincinnati is partly
handicapped in that all the games will
be played on Cleveland's grounds,
owing to the construction of a new
grandstand at Cincinnati.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The commission
which yesterday selected Ty Cobb, of
the Detroit Americans, and Frank
Schultz, of the Chicago Cubs. as the
player in each major league who
proved the greatest help to his team
in the pennant race just closed,
made by secret ballots cast by eleven
newspaper men, one in each city rep
resented in the big leagues.
Ed Walsh, of the White Sox. was
second in the American League voting,
and Christy Mathewson, of the New
York Giants. ran second to. Schultz in
the National League. Eddie Collins
was third, Joe Jackson fourth and
Walter Johnson fifth in the American
and Larry Doyle, Hans Wagner and
Grover Alexander were tied for third,
fourth and fifth places in the National.
Cobb was given the high compliment
of the highest number of points pos
sible for any player to attain under
the system of voting. Each member
of the commission voted for eight
players, arranging them in their order
of excellence on this years work ae-
cording to his opinion. The first player
named on each ballot was credited
with eight points, the second player
with seven points and so on until the
eighth man on a ballot was given one
point. The Detroit star received Ga
points, which shows that every one oil
the men who voted or the American
League players placed Ty Cobb's name
at the top of his list.

BETTING DULL; TEAMS
EVENLY MATCHED, IS
OPINION OF EXPERTS.

Betting on the world series between
the Giants and Athletics Is remarkably
dull. The reason for this is uni hit
eddy because the FAM are somewhat be-
wildered over the evenly matched
teams and no fair-minded baseball en-
thusiast can determine a choice. Bet
ting SC far has been moro from a feel
ing of sentiment or favoritism than
from any true analysis of the relative
strength of the two teams. The result
of the series cannot be anticipated and
fans are at a loss to find any s~atisfae-
tory reason why either team might win
or. lose. The inability. therefore, to
mark any advantage has created a
dearth of betting.
1t was stated at Murray's that plenty
of Giant money would be found 10
cover the Athletic bets at even money.
A sporting man said that he would
leave $400 at Murray's today of Giant
honey which would be let out dollar
for dollar.
A quest came from Wall street last
night asking if Murray could handle
81, 500, which would be put up at e rem
money on the Giants.
The great majority of the bets placed
so far nave been at even money, al
though in New York and Chicago the
Giants have been slight favorites.
A Philadelphia man, however, stated
today he. believed that tomorrow and
Saturday morning there would be plenty
of Philadelphia money to be had at 6
to 5, with the Pennsylvania money IN
the long end.
The fans seem to think that it is best
so far TO take the short end of any bets,
regardless of the team.
