Bragg captured the race from a field of 12 starters. which included the country's most widely known drivers of heavy cars. Only six cars finished.
 Bragg's speed average for the race was 69.3 miles per hour, as against the late David Bruce Browns average of 7447 miles per hour in last years grand prix event at Savannah Ga. He covered the distance of 409 miles, 4616 feet in hours, 59 minutes and 25 sec onds.

 Bragg drove a consistent race. He never was further back than third place at any stage of the long grind. He was in the lead during the run ming of 30 laps of tre 52-lap contest. For the first 80 miles Teddy Tetzlaff led the field, but Bragg and DePalma were closely behind him all the time.
 After elimination of Tetzlaff by a minor accident to his Fiat car in the 244th mile, the race settled down to a drivers duel by Bragg and DePalma. The latter led Bragg for only four laps However, when DePalma jumped into second place with Tetzlaff's with drawal he was eight minutes back of Bragg. He trailed at about that dis tance for more than so miles. Then, in the last 50 miles, DePalma started the terrific sprint which resulted in his car being overturned in the last 1ve-mile stretch of the race
 DePalma was 2 minutes and SC sec- onds behind Bragg as the two swung into the last 7.SS-mile lap. Bragg had slowed down considerably and De- Palma set out to catch the Fiat driver. He caught him near the last leg of the contest In desperate effort to pass Bragg on them roadway near where Bruce Brown Was killed Tues day, DePalma shot his heavy Mercedes into the rear of Bragg's Fiat
 In the recoil from this DePalma's car was thrown into the ditch and wrecked. DePalma and Alrey were thrown out of the car.
 Bragg, as his part of the s10.000 purse, received s500o. Edwin Bergdoll of Philadelphia, who drove Benz into second place after a pretty fight with Gil Anderson for the last 50 miles of the race, received s25oo. Bergdolrs average speed for the race was 65.61 miles per hour
 Gil Anderson who finished third with Ia Stutz car. the only American car to finish the race. got s1250 as his end. His average speed was 65.55 miles an hour.
 Barney Oldfield, who finished fourth with Fiat car at an average speed of sA7S miles per hour. took $95o as fourth money.
 George Clark, who was still driving his Mercedes with one more lap to go when Oldfield finished. was Tagged by Starter Wagner and awarded $500 as fifth money.

Old Private Stock Whiskey

In all our twenty-five years experience we have never found better whisky for the price It em- bodies stability, well modulated strength, and is very popular among our large trade. It is the most mi tated whisky in Birmingham, which goes to prove that the other merchants know it's quality The price doesn't represent the quality.

front for the worlds seriss, was worked out today and showed fine form for the five innings he pitched allowing but two hits.
 Precedent incidentally, has been against the men who loom up in advance as prob able heroes of world series. Speculation as to who will "Bakerize" the forthcom- ing contests has led to the choice or Speaker, Wood. Gardner or Stahl among the Red Sox, and Doyle. Meyers, Tesreau and Mathewson for the Giants. But there are as good chances for dark horse.
 in the Hall of World Series Fame, Bill Dineen of the Boston Red Sox stands first In the 1913 series with Pittsburg. In 1905 Mathewson shut out the Athletics and was easily the most prominent figure that year. In 1906 Joe Tinker of the Chi cago Cubs was tho handspring of sensa- ton double plays, although his club lost In 1907 Frank Chance sprang into lame by getting 1T hits out of 21 times at bat. The next year Babe Adams of Pitts burg pitched himself to the front rank. Eddie Collins was hero of the Chicago Philadelphia series, and what Baker did to the Giants with his home run batting last year Is still fresh in memory. In this review 1t is noticeable that hardly a man was picked in advance to outshine others in tho contests. They came from as surprises and went down in baseball history as world series heroes.

ANXIOUS FANS AWAITING
 GONG TO START THE SERIES
By WALTER MARcHAND

Any time the Giants play ball game the spectators may be sure they will wit ness action That's the keynote of base ball. We've got a lot of lean, nimhle quick -motioned youngsters, who can speed around the bases and slant across the field from one point to another The actions there, and the most is made of it. Build team work around speed, help the speed with as good batteries as you can find, and if you don't win the cham pionship you will play mighty attractive baseball, and give the spectators reason to congratulate themselves that they've witnessed the games"
 Can a man be good ball player and consistent Christian? Billy Sunday was fine ball player and Is consistent Christian. Here's what he says:
 "I have heard from some sources that a man cannot reach the limelght as q ball player unless he is a dead game sport hits the booze and goes down the line. That's an insult to manhood, and to the best and cleanest sport in America. I would not take a million dollars for my experience on the dia- mond; neither would l take ten times that amount for the knowledge of the fact that I did try to lead a Christian life while I wore the uniform that had "Chicasor "Pittsburg' and "Philadel- phia" on the breast.
 Every ball player should be interested in keeping the game up to the highest standard. and maintaining the present hold 1t has upon the affections of the people, and that can be done by his living an absolutely clean life, being honest upright and sober.
 "In the Day of Judgment God won't keep Spalding's Guide on hand to find out what your batting and fielding aver age has been before you will be admit ted or rejected in heaven, but the whole thing will hinge upon whether you were or were not a Christian"

Copen Hage Gin

There is pretty sentiment about this gin dis tiller whose family had lived in Holland for years and years and who expert gin distller in that country, where the fine gins made came to Amer ca and is the expert distler for of the larg est houses in Milwaukee. This man s aim has been to make an American gin equal in every respect to the gins of his native country. The big diser who employs him thinks he has succeeded. We also think so He imports the juniper berries and experts say that in Copen Haze gin there is to be found the equal of any of the Holland gins of the old country It Is easily equal to the imported Remember that on the imported gin you pay enormous import duty.

New York, October 5.-(Special.)- )-Ev- show which opens at the Polo Grounds Tuesday. The Giants and Red Sox are on edge for the opening game. Mana gers and men are confident, and what ever the result of the games, there Is going to be some baseball played here and in Boston before the next week has passed.
 Who will be the worlds champions !? Ask any of the score of young atheletes who are to represent New York and there is a unanimous reply. The Giants" Go to Boston and ask staiil's young men and there Is an equally unanimous reply. 'the Red Sox." Ask the man on the street in the Hub and you'll be con- vinced that the Giants have about as much chance as the fabled wax cat chased by the stoned asbestos dog in the hereafter.
 In New York. where civic pride does not run as deep as in Boston. you will get variety of answers.
 What is my opinion? Frankly. I'm in doubt. As loyal New Yorker hope and rather believe the Giants will win, but John Stahl has mighty sweet run hing baseball machine over in Boston. he has as fine a staff of pitchers as can be found. and as hard hitting, fast fielding team of flelders as is often seen. I will content myself. therefore, with prophesying that when these two teams meet there is going to be a brand of baseball that will be worth crossing the continent to see.
 To aspiring managers who wish to win pennants these few words from John J. McGraw are worth careful study. Here they are:
