ATHLETICS
RUN-GETTERS
LEAD GIANTS
Baker and Collins Rank Third
in Major Leagues-Murray
and DevOre Next.

Every team of championship calibre
has what is known as its ~run-scoring
combination. Detroit depends IN Cobb
to get on a great deal and Crawford
to carry him over; these two today
are reckoned as the greatest run-get-
ting combination in the game. The
two teams which battle today in the
first worlds series each have their pair
of stars, who are especially active In
carrying the rum around the four cor
ners of the diamond. Connie Mack de-
ponds on Baker and Collins a great
deal. Collins gets IN and Baker drives
him over.
For the Giants Devore reaches first
by his great speed; steals second, and
any kind of a hit to the outfield by
Murray is good enough to carry him
across. Murray is what is known as
a ''clean up batter. That is, he is an
extra base hitter, and especially dam
gerous with men on the sacks.
The work of these two great COM
binations will be big factors in this
series. Every one of these four men
are lightning fast on the bases, and
while the two Giants have stolen more
bases than their rivals it does not in
this case show any superiority, 1t Is
argued, because Mack's men depend on
the hit and run and did not try to
steal so often.
Recently there was a great discussion
in big league newspapers as to which
run-getting combination was the best.
1t was almost unanimously agreed that
Cobb and Crawford ranked first be-
cause of .Cobb's sensational ability.
Jackson and Lajoie, of the Maps, were
rated next and Baker and Collins third.
Devore and Murray were picked as the
fourth best combination. Then came
Scheckard and Schultz, of the Cubs.
The two run-getting combinations
that meet in his fracas will worry any
pitcher, but in ease Connie Mack uses
Plank or Krause, Devore will be at a
big disadvantage, for he Is not very
strong against southpaws. On the other
hand, Collins and Baker, both left
handlers, can hit southpaws as we'll as
the regular fingers. Thus it is that
Connie Mack figures that Eddie Plank
may be especially effective against New
York, because he will have Josh Devore
on his hip with his cross-fire, which has
Always been the bane of Devore's OK
istence when he had to face a south
paw.

MOTORCYCLING AT THE
GUTENBERG TRACK.

Motorcycle race enthusiasts of New
York and vicinity will be treated to
the most sensational series of speed
contests ever conducted in this section
of the country at the Gutenberg Mo-
tordrome tomorrow, under the auspices
of the Metropolitan Motor Racing AS
ISOLATION. A splendid event will be a
series of speed trials by Ralph De
Palma, the track champion, in his Sim
plex.
The races on Sunday will not only
be remarkable in regard to the number
of entries, but will also have a larger
variety of machines than ever COM
peted hereabouts before, no less than
seven different manufacturers being
represented. A larger prize list is Of
fered at this race than for any ever
held on the Gutenberg track. The
prizes include cash to the amount of
5000. medals, accessories, etc. The
novice riders will compete for a Prest-
o-Lite tank, which is the best prize
ever offered for an event of its kind.
In the past there has always been
difficulty with the transportation serv-
ice to the track, but arrangements have
been made whereby SPECIAL cars will
be run to the track from the Weehaw-
ken ferry. The track is only fifteen
minutes out from the Jersey side of
the Hudson river. The races will start
promptly at 2:30.

BAN JOHNSON
AND TOM N
HAVE LAST SAY

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Thomas J..
Lynch and Ban johnson, heads OF
the rival leagues. surveyed the cool
clear weather of the early morning
from their hotel windows today and de-
clared that everything was suspicious
for victory. They were completely
agreed upon all points except the iden-
tity of the victor.
Mr.. Lynch had no doubt Of the
Giants ability to carry the National
League colors up the first notch of the
pennant staff. The other notches would
come in due course he added.
Mr.. johnson was equally sure that
the Athletics would take today's game
for the American League. And his
forecast of the series was a victory for
Philadelphia by straight games.
Here is Mr.. Lynch's opinion:
1.-THE Giants have appealed to me ali
season as one of the fastest. gamest
clubs I have ever seen. You must not
go on last years worlds series In
gauging the Athletics. as the Cubs were
all in. / expect this series TO be one Of
the hardest-fought in history, but !
fully believe that McGraw and the
Giants will indicate the faith New
York has placed in them. This has
been the most successful veal of all
National League history and a worlds
pennant would top it off to a nicely"
AS for Mr.. Johnson, he had this to
say. biting off his words with a crisp
decisiveness to show that he meant It;
II nave no fears. or a-pprehensions
over the chances of the Athletics. I
feel confident that Connie Mack's
worlds champions will win. The Giants
are a fine club, I am willing to admit,
but / consider the Athletics the great
est aggregation that has ever played In
the major leagues during the advent Of
my circuit. The world series will be a
browning achievement for the Amer
lean League"

MATT WELLS
Gil BOag's Madison A. c. Gets
Bout for November 3. :.
Purse to Be $4,000.

NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-Ad Wolgast,
lightweight champion of the world,
and Matt Wells, lightweight cham
pion of England, are finally matched.
They will fight ten rounds at the Madi-
son Athletic Club here on Friday, No
vember 8, for a purse of SIS, 900. The
men are to weigh in at 1873 pounds at
D 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 a purse of
$22, 500 for the match a few days ago,
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 cham
pions in their class, that they are con-
coded to be evenly matched, and that
the contest will be an international
one, marks the match as perhaps the
most important of the season here.

FOOTBALLS
BIG SEASON
AFTER TODAY
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cor
nell, Pennsylvania Now in
for Serious Work.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Football will
begin to assume its real big season
aspect after the games today. The COM
tests scheduled for the afternoon marh
the end of the preliminary work of tho
big Eastern elevens. Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Cornell INT Pennsylvania
will be ready nearly next week for the
more serious things to come.
The coaches at Yale-Harvard and
Pennsylvania and Princeton had no
doubts this morning of the outcome Of
today's James Harvard figured on a
walkaway with Williams, while Penn
sylvania appeared to have a chance
to get out of her rut in the game with
Yillanova. Yale expressed condolences
of an easy victory over Virginia Poly,
though the Southerners are something
of an unknown quantity.
Princeton and Cornell, however, found
themselves pitted against opponents
with excellent regulations. The Tigers
programmed opponent was Colgate. .
team that Cornell was able to peal by
only a 6 to 0 score. The Ithacan g
gregation, according to the betting
odds, found itself with no more than
an even chance of beating Penn state.
Yale seems to have struck something
of an advanced season gait, and Ia all
ready in fine fettle for the first big
game of the season against West Point
newt week.
Harvard also has reached practicaI-
~ big season form. Princeton, on the
other hand, has been tagging up to
date, despite the comfortable margins
by which the Tigers captured their
early games. The eleven shows a lack
of %all-around team work on the defen-
sive and offensive that initiates against
efficiency when pitted against a fast
team.

COOGAN'S BLUFF
HAS LOST VALUE
AS A BLEACHER

From time immemorable it has been
Workers to congregate at Coogan's
Bluff, at the base of which the his
toric Polo Grounds are located, to see
the Giants play free of charge. Daily,
when the Giants played at home, fans
who lacked the price of admission came
and watched the big league battles
free of charge. Some of the more for
tunate ones were equipped with binoc-
ulars, which enabled them to see every
play much closer, but most of them de-
pend on their long distance vision.
The top of the old grand stand did
not prevent the onlookers from seeing
everything. A small angle of the dia-
mond around second base and the en-
tire outfield was visible. The cries Of
the fans and the movements of the sec
ond basemen and the outfelders en-
abled many of the regulars to follow
intelligently the course of the battle.
But their graft" is nc more, for the
top of the recently erected magnificent
new stands cuts off entirely their
vision of the playing field. Nothing
but an X-ray could now be of any use
to the self-appointed free list, but 1t
is probable that a crowd will congre-
gate there tomorrow just the same to
judge according to the elation or the
cries of disappointment the tide of bat
tie for or against the Giants.
The new stand towers high above the
roof-line of the old one. 1t Is now
scarcely possible for the former occu-
pants of the bluff" to see even the
centre field bleachers. Had 1t not been
-fertffe- foresight of Mr.. Brush's archi-
tects in %remodeling the plant after it
was destroyed by fire, Coogan's bluff
would be the resort for monster crowds
of all ages during the important series
starting today.
