NEW YORK, Sept. 30,-While the
baseball season Of 1911 is practically
now part Of history. except of course
the decision of the world s champion.
ship, there is still nearly two weeks of
play before the regular season is over
The last game of the National league
clubs will be played Columbus day,
October -. Then will como the cham.

open in New York Saturday, October
IA
1t is of course possible that the Ath-
letics Will repeat and defeat the Ma
tional champions hands down as they
did last year, but u much closer con-
test is expected this year,
Personally, ] am inclined to favor
the chances of the National league.
Last year the Cubs were badly crippled
when they went into the final series
and were tired from the long strain of
the record breaking contest they had
undergone. This year the Giants have
had to work hard for the pennant, but
the race has not been so neTve-rac king
and McGraw s men appear TO be in
prime condition. All else being equal
am of the opinion that the Nationals
play n shade better ball than the Amer.
leans. Individually, perhaps there is
not so much choice between the players,
but the National machine runs smooth.
er, the team work is better, they can
get more runs with fewer hits and after
all is said and done it is the run that
counts.
1t Will be royal sport, though, and
as near an even money bet as q sport
ing man would care to have.
Cobb's Provision Uncanny.

Jackson will continue as one Of the

ager of the Boston American baseball
team, Hardly had the report of the Nc
Aleer purchase reached here before the
talk of the probable successor to Pat
Donovan was started, and today the
impression is that it Will be Speaker
who will be named as pilot Speaker is
now captain, and it has been evident
to those who have watched the Red
Sox closest that the wonderful center
fielder is the biggest sort of factor
in directing the team. Speaker s ability
as player cannot be questioned, and
from the experience he has gained as
field leader he should fit in nicely
1t will he recalled that during the
past two years McAleer has picked
Speaker for his All-Star team, and, In
addition, the pair are unusually friend
ly both on and off the field.
Champion Triple Play Club.
Although Hugh Jennings ism t going
to get any pennant this season, another
of the numerous records that he and MS
team hold will come his way. He has
the champion tripleplay club Of the
country. This was brought to mind the
other day when the third killing of this
sort by the Tigers this season was re-
corded. That gives them more than all
the other seven clubs combined, II is,
in fact, phenomenal performance. Ali
three feats were turned on the Detroit
field. and it is doubtful If the fans of
any other city in the country have ever
had chance to see as many triple |
plays III one year. There are regular
baseball attendants who have been |
watching the game for years, and who |
have never seen three men put out in |
one consecutive series of plays.
That last performance gives the Ii |

MUSICAL cLUBSCoNCERT

Despite the downpour of rain
Monday night, good sized crowd
greeted the appearance of the
Monday Musical club at the Broad
way opera house.
The stage was tastefully decor
ated with cut flowers and ferns,
and carefully chosen program re-
paid those who were fortunate
enough to attend the concert.
The program embraced numbers
by double quartet, ladies' quartet,
male quartet. duets and solos in
vocal music and piano and violin
solos. Each number was well
rendered and numerous encorcs
were responded to. The Club was
assisted by Miss Jean Lee a tai
ented young vio!inist Of Boston.
The concert was an unqualified
success in every musical detail
and reflected great credit upon the
members of the Club and upon the
able direction of Mrs. Strong.
