WHO IS GOING TO Be PITCHING
HERO OF THIS YEARS WORLD SERIES?
Matty Has Been in Limelight
0nCe--WiIl He
Repeat?

Who is going to be the pitching nero
of the 1911 worlds championship clash
between the New York Nationals and
the Philadelphia Americans?
Nearly every worlds series has de-
veloped a twirling terror; some demon
curve artist like Jack Coombs or
Babe Adams, Ed Walsh or Bill
Dineen. Matty or Mordecsi Brown mo-
ncpolizes the entre of the calcium.
Last year it was Jack Coombs. of the
Athletics. He won three straight from
the Chicago Cubs, National League
pennant winners, and put Chances
men down for h count.
The year before it was Babe Adj
ans. the "show-me kid" from Missouri.
Babe was there with some fiinging
stuff that made the Detroit Tigers look
like tame kittens.
Babe scored three successive VIC
tories over J~ennings's jungle band,
and landed the worlds championship
banner for Fred Clsrke's crew of scut-
tiers from smoky Pittsburg.
Overall and Brown.
In 1903 Big jeff Overall and MIordecai
CThree-Fingered) Brown shared the
twirling honors for Chicago, each Win
ming two games from Detroit. Brown
relieved Reulbach Just In time to WIN
the first game. Pfeister. a southpaw,
lost the only battle Of the series for
Chicago, Mullen winning 1t for De-
troit.
Manager Chance. of Chicago, played
no favorites in the 1907 series with
Detroit. Overall and Reulbach worked
against Donovan in the first game;
Pfeister beat Mullin in the second, Reul-
bach crimped Killian in the third. Overall
spanked Donovan in the fourth, and
Brown BANKED Mullen in the final bat
tie.
Spitball Ed Walsh, of the Chicago
White Sox, played a stellar engage

rock started off like a lion, but Walsh
had to do the heavy work at the finish.

Expects to Be Given Chance to
Pitch Before End of
Season.

Runt Walsh. the Philadelphia Ma
tional player. Will go down in history
as one of the wonderful individual per
formers of 1911. This robust utility
man. who joined the Phillies in the
spring of 1910, has in two seasons
played every position on the team ex-
cept to pitch.
He is at home at any position in the
infeld or outfield, and has played every
one of the seven positions in the two
departments with credit to himself.
!. Walsh's latest achievement is the
most astonishing. Because of the
weakness of the Philadelphia catching
staff, caused by the injuries to Mana
ger Doom and Pat Moran. the Dooinites
were obliged to use their versatile
utility man behind the bat in a game
with Brooklyn. Walsh astounded the

ELIZABETH BOWLERS
POURING IN ENTRIES
FOR HEADPIN GAMES

Elizabeth bowlers continue to send
their entries in for the STAR headpin
tournament, and the indications are
that the Betsytown teams will be quite
as prominent on the %Iroquois alleys
this season as they were last. The
Public Service No. 1 and No, 2 teams
entered last night. and they sare both
from Elizabeth. The Ayab five also
entered. and IT comes from Union
county also. The Lavelle team is an
other that got in line last night. The
Oliver Pleasure Club will perform, as
will the Preston Five.
Several big organizations are getting
their bowlers together in order to OBJ
tain a special night. There is not a
little rivalry to see which can have
the largest number of teams. Several
clubs had twenty or more teams last
season and the indications are that
new records win be made this season.
Lee Johns vas at the Iroquois Acad-
envy a few days ago and referred TO the
big time that was had on oxford night.
The boys from the local academy GER
tainly made things hum and had about
as many quintets on the job as any
body. Lee said that he expected to
have another lively session this season.

HERE NEXT WEEK
Exhibition Games Set for 0ctO.
ber~-Lesgue Games After
That Perhaps.

The famous Crescent basketball team
Of the Hudson River League will be
seen here for the first time this eason
next Tuesday evening, when 1t will
meet the crack Hudson quintet, also
q member of the big Hudson river or
SANITATION, at the Colosseum, in Spring
field avenue. 1t will be an exhibition
contest. The following Tuesday eve-
ming. which is October IL. the Cres-
cents will have the Trenton team of
the Eastern League, to contend with.
Exhibition games will take place on
each Tuesday of the week for the re-
mainder of this month. Despite the
fact that the Crescents were refused
admission in the Eastern League at
the last meeting OF that organization,
there is a possibility of their entering
that league. Several of the teams have
consented to allow the big Hudson
river club in the competition, and as
Reading has not, as yet, definitely de-
cided upon entering, the Crescents may
yet 20 seen as a member of the Eastern
circuit. If they succeed they will rep
resent Newark.
They are quite certain of entering
the Hudson River League again. After
the league season is inaugurated the
Crescents will play cage basketball.
There win be no backs to the baskets,
thus making ii very difficult in shooting
goals. The same players that repre-
sented the Crescents last season will
again be on the roster, including Hill,
Haring, Biggane, Love and NrcNab.
There may be an addition of two more
men, namely, Artie Conlon and Patsy
Corrlgan.

Gossip of the.

Connie Mack and John McGraw are
the biggest managers Of the American
and National leagues.
Resoureeful. quick to see an advan-
tage, peerless judges of players and
fighters to the end, they are Wen
mstehed for the big struggle.
McGraw was a more brilliant player
than Mack. He won fame as thru
baseman of the OLD Baltimore Orioles
three times pennant-winners. Mack
was a catcher and a good one, but ne
was not gifted with as much meehah-
ical ability as MeGraW.
Mack proved only a mediocre man
ager with Pittsburg in the old twelve
club National League. McGraW was a
successful manager from the start. lie
began his managerial career with Bal
timore in the American League in
1903,
McGraw jumped the American
League In 1903. and did his best to
break mp the league, which was strug-
Cling for q foothold, and he is cor
daily hated by the American League
owners. There is no manager they
would rather see beaten than Nc
Graw. The American League promised
McGraw a block of stock to manage
Baltimore and then, McGraw says
went back on it's word. MeGraW
jumped TO New York, taking Joe Nc
Ginnity, Roger Bresnahan and the
other star players with him.
McGraw named the Athletics the
White Elephants, their official nick
name. He predicted after- he had
jumped to New York thai the Amer
lean League would not last long. Con

prosper. and named his team in de-

All the pig universities of the country.
are looking for drop and place kickers
who can do something else in football
besides score field goals. Princeton has
such a man in Pendleton. and Cornell
has an even better II in Butler.
Against Vale the field goal by Pen
dleton was the only score hat Prince
ton made last season. In the game be
tween Pennsylvania and Cornell it was
the really wonderful goal kicking Of
Butler. that enabled Cornell to be in
the hunt.
Just now Pennsylvania is expert
menting with a new man in the goal
kicking business. He is Crawford, a
tackle on last years freshman team.
The Quakers are trying hard to make
a guard out of him. so he will be of
some use to the team in addition to
his ability to kick goals, in which de-
partment he is already a star. The
great secret of kicking goals from
field is having a regular player on the
team who can do this. There are not
many men who can be called into tho
gam at a critical period and do them
selves credit in This line. 1t takes
more nerve than most fellows have
to do this.
II Thorpe has really returned to the
Carlisle Indian School, Glenn Warner
will have a wonderfully good goal
kicker, for during the year he played,
Thorpe proved himself quite as good
a kicker as even Houser. whose place
he is counted upon TO take this fall.
still another fair goal kicker is Sprack-
ling. of Brown University, last season
unanimously picked as the best quar-
terbaek of the yesr.
boz
Walter johnson. the greatest right
Land pitcher in the American League,
has a natural advantage over Vean
Gregg, the greatest southpaw of that
organization. Johnson's arms are
longer than his. A long arm helps a
pitchers speed. Few short-arm pitch
ers have great speed. Gregg is IL
inches taller than Johnson. but has
. inches less reach. Johnson's reach
is 6 feet "a inch. Gregg looks much
taller than johnson because he is slim.
He weighs les pounds, johnson 1870.

Whole Show in the
Battles?

bowled over the Chicago Cubs last
year.
On the other hand, National League
boosters and New York fans are abso-
lutely certain that "Rube'' Marauard
out of his hand" Marquard is the star
southpaw of the National League.
II the series develops into a battle
between southpaws, George (Hooks)
Wiltse and Harry Krause, the Califor-
MIA Kid may cut some ice. Like
Plank and Marquard, Wiltse and
krause both shoot the leather with
their left wings. Krause was a star in
1909, winning eighteen and losing only
eight. Wiltse las been a consistent
winner for New York, and. while Mar
guard is setting the pace for him this
season, Wiltse's friends are willing to
bet money, marbles or chalk that he
can outpitch Marquard or Plank,
throwing quoits, horseshoes or base
balls.
A battle of southpaws sounds melo-
dramatic and many baseball experts
figure that when 'ft comes down to
cases both McGraw and Connie Mack
will be calling on their right-handers
to turn the trick. Christopher (Big
Six Mathewson is the star right-hand-
er Of the New York team, standing out
all by himself.
Rely on Mnthewson.
Nine out OF ten baseball bugs rate
Matty the greatest pitcher in the game.
Chief" Bender and Jack Coombs are
the star right-handers of the Athletics.
Coombs practically won the last years
series for the Athletics, while Bender
won the only game the Athletics cap
tured from the New York Giants in
1906.
Big Six won the worlds champions
ship for New York from the Athletics
in 1905. and his admirers look for him
to turn the trick again this year.
If McGraw beats the Athletics with
right-handers, Mathewson, Leon Ames
and otey Crandall will have to do the
work for him. Matty is a grizzly bear
when right, and if he starts the bic
series fit and ready Mack's men will
find him a tough proposition to get
over.
Ball players say that Leon Ames. OF
the Giants, has the greatest curve bal
of any pitcher in the game. When his
twister breaks right Leon is practically
u%nhittable.
