BAT FOR BUNTING

At the present tendency OF speciali-
zation in baseball continues IL will
soon be customary for the average
big league player to carry a bag OF
bats as varied In shape, size and
purpose as a golf player. There are
a dozen or more different kinds Of
bats now In use. though usually the
great hitters use but one kind.
Now, however, there has been de-
veloped bat made solely Tor bunt-
ing and the patent Office recently is
sued a patent on the device.
The bat Is of ordinary shape and
size, but IL mas two deep slots on
either side extending from the butt
end about one-third of the way to-
ward the handle or grip end. Slips
OF nonresident material, such as
card board are placed in these slots.
The result Is that when the ball
Is struck with the side presenting
the cardboard strips the force OF the
rebound Is deadened and a slow bunt
Is made. When the other side OF the
bat is turned the effect Is the same
as with an ordinary bat

GUARD FOR SHOES

Besides the coal and dock strikes
and the militant suffragettes the good
people OF England appear to be suf-
fering from too much mud In their
roads-at least a recent issue OF the
British excuse for a patent Office ga
zette would give such indication, as
there are numerous devices pictured
in Il for avoiding mud.
One OF the most unique is a mud
guard for shoes. This guard only pro-
tects the heel Of the shoe, but is Is
said to AFFORD the most ample pro-
lection to the heel. II Is a properly
shaped piece OF leather or rubber
lied fabric permanently attached to
the shoe between the heel and the
upper.
II is SO made that II juts out from
the heel and keeps the mud from
being plastered on the shoe. In fine
leather the guard may be turned and
IL is provided with snap like, glove
fastener to hold IL in place when not
in use

Rain FOR BIG SERIES
THICKtNS THE PLOT

NEW YORK, Sept. PA forecast
OF rain for today made the worlds
championship baseball plot all the
thicker. The National Commission is
scheduled TO meet here tomorrow TO
set the dates for the big games. Mean
time. the Giants must cliEcn their
pennant. To do IL on schedule time
they must win twice from Pittsburgh
and the Cubs lose their double-header
at Philadelphia. The commission
must wait on the Giants, and the
Giants must wait on the weather
man. McGraw expected to use Tes-
reau and Marquard against the Pr
ates today. while Clarke counted on
Robinson and Ferry.

Jake Stahl has a Bunch of Men
Who almost Manage Themselves
They Take Care OF Themselves and Give Their But Little
Trouble-Dont Abuse Privileges

Fortunately for Stahi. he has a
tribe of well-oehaved athletes, every
one a clean-cut chap, and he does
not have to rule the squad like a
Car.
Instead they are given quite a
bit OF freedom on the road and do
not pen themselves In their hotel
rooms continually.
However, they know what Is ex-
pected of them. appreciate the chance
tefore them, too, and so far not one
has drawn so much as tiny fine.
Playing a steady game, one which
probably is a worlds record for Ii
complete season, has given the Bos-
ton Red Sox this 1912 pennant. From
The Detroit times., 1912-09-24
pGH JENNINGS S4lS

Granting that McGraw is greater
leader than Stahl. which gives. the
Giants an advantage before the
worlds series starts-the advantage
OF confidence in their leader-let us
consider the pitching stats.
The pitching strength of the teams
is about equal, with any possible ad-
vantage in favor OF the Boston Red
Sox. Much will depend upon the
way the rival leaders work their
pitchers.
| do not believe any man will work
in more than two games In the series
unless there Is another rainy period
such as dragged out last years series
between the Athletics and New York,
in which case one pitcher on each
team may work In three games.
Joe Wood, the Boston marvel, and
Christy Mathewson, the wonder OF
the National league, will open the
series. Joe Wood, with his smoky
speed, | consider a greater pitcher
than Christy Mathewson. No, Matty
Is not getting too old. Wood Is sim
ply better pitcher.
When these men meet, as they will,
the younger Wood will outpitch the
veteran Mathewson. Great as he Is,
Matty will meet his master in the
Boston speed marvel
The second game will undoubtedly
be a battle between the southpaws-
Marquard of the Giants, and Collins
Of the Red Sox. These men, going
right, are nearly equal. Marquard has
received far more publicity than Col
inns and his picture has appeared
more times in the papers His 10
straight games brought him into the
limelight also. but in the meantime
Ray Collins has been going along
winning games consistently, without
so much OF splurge. and we of the
American league who have had to
face him know that he Is one OF the
greatest left-handers OF the game
Probably no left-hander in the Amer
lean league, unless il is Eddie Plank,
is his equal.
The third duel, in my opinion, will
be between two spitball pitchers
Buck O'Brien OF the Red Sox and
Jeff Tesreau OF the Giants. This will
be interesting in that II will be a
battle between two stars who make
the splitter their chief strength.
Tesreau is in the spotlight. He

" There Is some difference OF opinion
as 70 Miian's base-stealing record
also. While some records have IL
that Clyde has attained 81 stolen
bases and thereby has beaten out
Cobb, who made an American league
record Of SO last year, other records
say that he has to date 50, which
means that he has still to equal
Cobb's mark.
However, It seems certain that he
will break Cobb's record as there are
nine games to be played yet by Wash

four or Ave bases during that time.
