RED sox GOOD WATERS.
And Through This They Get Bases on
 Balls and Incidentally Runs.

One of the reasons the Boston Red Sox have scored so many runs this season and are so far out in front in the American league pennant race is that the Stalwarts outclass their rivals in obtaining passes from opposing pitchers. Records compiled to August S1, inclusive, reveal the fact that the pace settlers have had 40 bases on balls lavished on them since tae cam paign started and that their regulars Iris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, Larry Gardner, and others--have worked twirlers for transportation oftener than all the members of certain second di- vision teams-Cleveland, for instance.
 While the Red Sox were obtaining 40 passes, the Senators were acquiring 396 and>the White Elephants 379. The individual pass list shows clearly why Iris Speaker, whom many persons have the hunch will be the winner of the prize automobile to the player in tho American league who is most valuable to his team, is the leading run -getter in the junior league, and also shows clearly why Eddie Collins of the Ath- letics, who hasn't come anywhere near making his 200th base hit, has man. aged to cross the plate more than 100 times.
 INtllHeT OpedkeT HOT AOllulS, 1ON6N . CT, leads the American league brigade of pitcher workers That honor Is held Cor was on August 31) by Morris Rath, the former Oriole, now Chicsgo's lead- off man, who had received S1 passes. Owen Bush, Detroit's diminutive short
 stop, with so gifts, was very close second. Collins with 75 bases on balls to his credit was a mighty good third, and then followed in the order named Shotten of St. Louis Fl, Speaker of Boston 55, Hooper of Boston 54, Harry Lord of Chicago 53. Hartzell of New York 51, and Gardner of Boston 50. Other good walters are Milan of Washington and Daniels of New York, these men being sure to receive more than 50 passes this season. Daniels has everybody in the American league beaten in obtaining Red Cross passes. having been awarded first base 13 time because he has been hit by pitched balls Collins, oddly enough, hasn't

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
CALL LOANS AT 7 1-2. Money Makes Sudden Advance to
 Highest Rate of Year.

New York, Sept. 30.-Further heavy gold engagements abroad and another sudden advance in call loans to 1-2 per cent the highest rate of the year, were the conflicting features around which today's active and at times strong market ,revolved. The gold was secured in London in competition with German and other continental banking interests, and the success of our bids followed another decline here in ex- change
 The higher rate for call money was a natural outcome of the preparations now being made by banks at all i'm portant home centers to finance the heavy October international and divi- dend disbursements, which probably will be much larger than last years payments. Then, too. the relatively small excess reserves furnished an other reason for caution.
 Stocks were distinctly irregular at the opening, a condition resulting largely from the lower range of prices for Americans in London. The market followed it's home operations with heavy. sales here il the first hour. un- loading large amounts of United States Steel, Amallsamated Copper and Reading.
 The market wavered under this on- slaught, but went to new level, the highest of the year, at midday, under leadership of Steel.
 That stock came out in enormous blocks, which seemed to be freely ab- sorbed, with other representative is- sues, at advances.
 In the final hour. however, when money made it's record quotation, heavy selling set in and Dricas crun, . bled until little was left of the rise. In fact many stocks weakened to much below last weeks closing level, and the entire list reassumed it's ir- regular trend, growing more heavy towards the close.
 All the foreign exchanges were af- fected by the Balkan situation. both Paris and Berlin reflecting weakness.
 The local bond market was firm with renewed demand for special Issues. To- tai sales, par value, amounted to S2,- 450.O00

Columbus, O.. Sept. 30.-World's rec ord pacing by Braden Direct, owned by J. H. Elshass of Denver. Col, was done this afternoon at the Columbus Grand Circuit racing. He set the rec ord for four year old pacers at 203 1-4 and followed that heat up with miles in 2.03 3-4 and 2.04. Braden Direct was the title holder because of 2.03 3-4 mile this season at Cleveland
 The race for the King stake was not won in straight heats. Don Prom to was first home in the first trip in 2.05 1-4. The judges held that no attempt had been made to win with Braden Direct.

New York, Sept. 30.-Enthusiasts who are following the concluding work of the New York Giants before the world series are being surprised with the strength of McGraw's string of re- cruit pitchers. Such men are Dema- rec. Kirby, Goulait and Bader, all strange nameA in the Giants lineup, have been tried out in the past few games since the pennant was assured and helped to boost the Giants show ing.
 Bader, a youngster from Dallas, Texas, pitched winning game against Philadelphia today, though nine hits were made off him. None of these recruits are eligible for the big games next week, but the fact that they are winning games is pointed to by many fans as indicating strong men behind them. In the last five games the Gi- ants have played it is strange that the only one lost wag pitched by the so-called star of the team, Big Jeff Tesreau, against Boston on Saturday. Todays victory was the 101st for the Giants this season. one less than the string of Boston American victor ies to date. q Predominance of early opinion that. the Red Sox would be strong fayorites in the world series is weakening, particularly here. Many of the experts" say that the con- tenders are so evenly matched that seven- game series is not at all unlike ly.
 At National league headquarters to- day Secretary, J. A. Heydler was busy preparing his list of preferred patrons, including organized baseball officials, season box holders and authorized ma jor league newspapers. He announced today that this list would be closed promptly at o'clock tomorrow eve ming, and that positively no applica- tions for reservations after that hour would be considered.
 These preferred patrons are to be accommodated at the 8 rate in the upper tier of the grand stand and of the 5000 seats available in that sec- tion, the balance is to be placed on public sale in advance. The time and place for this sale will probably be announced on Thursday said Mr. Hey dler
 The balance of s0.oo0 seats at the Polo grounds can be bought only at the grounds on the days of the game.

FoGEL'S CHARGES
 TO BE INVESTIGATED
President Lynch States That Coward Iy Attack on Empires Cannot Be Overlooked.

New York. Sept. SO-Persident Thomas J. Lynch of the National league purposes to have the board of directors of the league investigate the charges of Horace S. Fogel, president of the Philadelphia club, that favora- ble decisions by certain umpires were responsible for the New York club winning the pennant this year. MT Lynch says he cares nothing for MT. Fogels personal attack upon him, but that the imputation of dishonesty on the part of the umpires cannot be overlooked.
 In a statement issued tonight, MT. Lynch says:
 "As far as President Fogers attack on the president of the National league is concerned, care nothing. My twenty-five years record in baseball speaks for itself. The cowardly at tack on the honesty of the umpires and the game itself Is different matter, however, and cannot be overlooked. I shall take these charges before the board of directors of the National league, which has sole jurisdiction. Regardless of whether Mir. Fogel has financial interest in the Philadelphia

SUNDAY BASEBALL
 AN INNOCENT PASTIME.
and Judgment Against Connell is 7 Suspended.


 New Haven, Sept. 3O.-Characteriz- ing baseball as an innocent pastime and amusement which does not come within the limitations of the statute prohibiting sports on the Sabbath, Judge Richard H. Tyner in the city court today disposed of the case against Manager Jerry Cornell of the New Haven Connecticut league base ball team, who was charged with play ing baseball on Sunday, by finding Cornell guilty, but innmo&ta4sly sus- pending judgment
 T don't believe" said Judge Tyner, "that 1t was the intention when the law prohibiting sports on Sunday was framed to make the playing of such an innocent game a violation of the law. The law prohibiting sports on Sunday was framed in the seventeen hundreds, when everyone was com- pelled to go to church. In this advanc- ed age baseball, such as the contests played at Lighthouse Point, can be characterized trWthfully as pastime or form of recreation. which Is, know, a great benefit to the community at large. Especially is this true when not a soul is disturbed by the contests, which have been run, as far as know in a most orderly manner. If a case of this sort were brought before me where there was disturbance of some kind I would certainly impose a severe penalty on the participants.
 If the statute has to be interpreted to it's true wording, why even automo- bling and the like is a violation of the law.
 T am here not to make the laws, but to see that they are not violated. I know that the playing of baseball on Sunday, according to that ancient statute is a violation, and there is no remedy for 1t until the next meeting of the legislature. Consequently I will find Cornell guilty, but I shall not in flict a penalty in the matter. I shall suspend judgment in the case"

Under conditions made unusually severe by reason of a moderate autmnal gale, Miss Curtis covered the course in the qualifying round of IS holes in SS strokes, three better than Miss Geor- gianna Bishop of Bridgeport, the 1904 title holder. The rest of the field which qualified for the match play was well strung out to the 108 mark, at which Mrs. G. W. Roope of Brae- burn, the Massachusetts champion, and Mrs. Armsby McCammon of Chevy Chase were tied for the thirty second place. In the play of Mrs Roope won. There were 62 starters.
 Miss Curtis played a remarkably even game, going out in 43 with three sizes and going home in 45 with one seven and two siXes. Her initial drive of 22O yards across the wind was the longest of the day.
 Miss Bishop played a consistent game going out in 45 and coming back in 46. with nothing over sizes.

PRACTICE STARTS FOR
 BIG AUTOMOBILE RACES
Tire Tread from Brags's Machine
 Shoots 1000 Feet in %he Air.


 Race Course, Wauwatosa. Wis, Sept. 30.-Practice began today for the Van- derbilt cup, Pabst and Wisconsin and Grand Prix trophy automobile races. scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, respectively. It was a day of thrills. From the very outset the larger cars began to average around 78 miles an hour, which sur prised the thousands of spectators along the course.
 TetZlaff in the Fiat car which he will drive in the Vanderbilt cup race Wednesday, skirted lap on the eight mile course in six minutes 16 seconds, a little better than an S0-mile an hour average. He also drove several laps with his larger car of the same make al Grand Prix. but his time with this was slower.
 A thrill was provided when Caleb Bragg in the big car he will drive in the Grand Prix came down the stretch at about 90-mile an hour clip, and threw off two yards of a rear tire tread. This shot perpendicularly in the air to a height of about 1000 feet and then returned almost to the iden- tical spot where the machine was when the tire flew off. The rubber was so hot it could not be heldt1n the bare hand. George Clark had a narrow escape when he skidded badly on the back stretch. Just as Tetzlaff was. passing Clark, the car of Clark swerv- ed to one side and as Clark tried to right it. it rolled on two wheels for some distance and then plunged into the soft sand in the ditch Clark finally righted the car without stop hing ana continued
 In making next to his last lap Tetz- laff was struck in the right lens of his goggles by a stone thrown up as he was passing another driver. Splin- ters of glass from the broken lens were driven into his eye, but he con- tinued on to his pit without stopping. Several bits of glass were removed from his eye and he started off on an- other lap.
