BAKER HAS PAIR
HOME-RUN RIVALS

Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-THE recent
worlds series continues fruitful
topic of conversation with baseball
fans, many of whom show a surpris-
ing lack of information concerning the
interleague battles of the past. One
of the commonest errors made Is the
assertion that Baker was the only
player to make two home runs in a
worlds series.
Naturally the spectacular manner in
which the hits were made-in one in
stance tying the score in the ninth
inning, which enabled the Athletics
to subsequently, win out and his first
home run winning the game-served
in a way to wipe out the memory of
past performances. But the records
of worlds series games since the pres
ent struggles between the champions
of the National and American leagues
were first begun in 1903 show that Left
Fielder Dougherty of the Bostons
made two home runs in the series
with Pittsburg in 1903, and that Fred
Clarke of the Pirates duplicated the
feat in 1903 against Detroit These,
with Baker, have been the only ones
to get two homes runs in any worlds
series.
Five players are credited with a
single four bagger-Sebring, in 1908;
Tinker, in 1908; D. Jones and Craw-
ford, in 1909, and Danny Murphy, in
1910. 1t was the dramatic character
of the drives that Baker made that
has given them undue prominence.
that has been the basis of so many
arguments that could have been easily
cleared up had these over enthusiastic
fans had access to the scores of past
years.
While on the subject Of distance hit
ting 1t would be well to remember
that there is one record held by the
Athletics that has withstood the eff
forts of all worlds series contestants,
That is the number of drives for two
bases The Athletics last year In the
series with the Cubs made the large
number of nineteen two baggers, the
nearest approach to that mark being
by Detroit in 1909, when the Tigers
pitchers. The preponderance of hits
for two bases is undoubtedly due to
the necessity of having ground rules
that limit drives into the crowd to
doubles, and 1t is a fact that on a
clear field many of these hits would be
turned into outs.
Worlds series games have shown
very few hits for three bases. There
was only one series where triples pre-
dominated, and that was in 1903. when
Boston made the surprising number of
sixteen, against nine for the Pirates
Aside from that one year hits for three
bases have been infrequent, there be-
ing none in 1908, only two in 1906.

Farrell said that didn't matter. Then
Griffith told him that he might get an

Inside Story of How Clark
Griffith Left New York

Clark c. Griffith, who has been the
the past three years, will become pres
ident and manager of the Washington
team in the American league. He will
go there the latter part of this week
to take charge of his own club, says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
The manufacture of Griffith from a
playing manager into the owner of his
own club has come very quickly and
Unexpectedly to him. Up until late
yesterday afternoon he had no thought
of owning a majority Of the stock of
any major league organization. But
he then wired to President Moves that
he would accept the offer made him
and told the Commercial Tribune he
intended to go there as soon as his
affairs here could be arranged to per-
NIT of his going.
Il have just purchased a majority
Of the stock in the Washington Ma
tionals and viii take charge of the
club the latter part of the week." said
Griffith. This purchase becomes eff
fective at once. l am now the owner
of more stock in that club than any
other man, so that l shall have abso-
lutte sway in the development Of
younger talent and can do as l wish
in the matter.
The selection of a manager for the
Cincinnati club will not interest me in
the least, unless it is to cause me sor-
row at having to part company with
one of the grandest men in our ma
tional sport today. BY this ! mean
President August Hermann, of the
Reds. He has treated me splendidly
since I came to Cincinnati and have
nothing but the highest praise for
him, praise which my lips cannot echo
properly.
For the past three years have
tried hard to give Cincinnati the best
team possible. These efforts were not
realized by the people here. They fail
to see how I built up a younger team
which some manager can now take

The Long Island farmers haven't

They are in a class by themselves and
