.GR|FF|TH'S MEN MAY
PLAY PIRATES IN
POST-SEASON GAMES
Barney Dreyfuss Likely To
Accept Challenge of The
Nationals Leader.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Sept. 5.-While
Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pitts
burgh baseball club has made no reply
to Clark Griffith's challenge for a series
of post-season games, 1t is expected that
the Pirates head will accept, and that
the Pirates and Nationals will engage in
a seven-game series at the conclusion of
the league games.
Dreyfuss is to think the matter over
before sending in his reply to Griffith.
but those in touch with the magnate
say that the series will probably be ar
ranged. Manager Griffith and his play
ers appear to be highly satisfied with
such an arrangement, and are willing
to met the Pirates.
The first game will in all probability
be staged in Pittsburgh, according to re-
ports ,as the Pirates finish their season
at Cincinnati and the Senators wind UP
in New York. President Dreyfuss will
insist that the first game be scheduled
in the Smoky City, as both teams could
make the trip easily at the season. s
close.
With two such stars as Walter john
son and Hans Wagner in the series,
added interest would be held out to
the two cities. In Pittsburgh, Johnson,
while he has never been seen in action,
would draw great crowds.
The decision of the Pirate head is to
be given out within the next two days,
and is being eagerly awaited.

BOSTON, Sept. 5.-Some weird and
atrocious backstopping on the part
of Ainsmith. and some equally bad
hurling by Paul Musser spelled
the defeat of the Nationals in
their first battle with the Red Sox be-
fore 1900 fans. The Red Sox, by wisely
taking advantages offered them. won
easily by score OF to 2. earning jim
my McAleer a new suit of clothes and
a bunch of new fall lids.
Joe Engel started the game. and
might have gone along nicely but for
the poor work of Ainsmith behind the
bat Ainsmith. who was banqueted
last night by his home folks, had one
of his worst days since he broke into
the game. Not one Of his throws to
second came within three yards of the
bag, and once he flung the ball out to
Milan. Furthermore. he failed to hold
up his young pitchers. and 1t was main
ly through his work with mask and pad
that caused the downfall of Joe Engel.
Following Engel came Melvin Gallia.
Gallia walked two of the five men to
face him, and he was promptly thrown
into the discard to let Paul Musser tie
himself in knots. Musser toiled for four
Herring. the Nebraska Indian, finish
the battle. Herring did not do so bad,
at that. However. Ainsmith managed
to work in a passed ball on him, though
nothing serious resulted.
Meanwhile, Ray Collins was south
paving his way along to glorious vic
tory. Milan and Gandil found his de-
livery made to order. but the others
looked weak before him. Most of them
shot flies to the garden or easy rollers
to the infielders, Just when a bingle
might have worked some good for Grin
Opens With Double.
Larry Gardner opened the second
frame with a double to right center,
going over to third while Engle was
expiring by the Mcbride to Gandil
route The National infeld came in
and Wagner cracked a single to CEN
ter that Laporte would have got If

| Well. in came Gardner with the first
run and the big crowd roared. Wag-
ner stole largely because Mcbride
didn't have ten-foot arms TO catch
the poor peg from Ainsmith. Carri-
| gan hoisted a fly to Milan and then
came the break in the inning. Ray
Collins walked and Joe Engel, handi-
capped By his lurid backstop, took
an ascension.

Lewis and when he stole A!nsrliths s
throw went to Milan. letting the Red
Sox hot corner man reach his own
bailiwick. However, he stayed there

The Nationals were helpless in the
last three innings. Milan did drop a
Texas Lacquer in center and steal
base Just to keep up to his aNerage,
but Collins was weaving his mystery
over the batsmen and Milan never saw
the plate again.
Griff sent Herring, his Nebraska In
dian, to the box in the eighth and he
didn't look so bad though Ansmith
worked in a assed ball on him merely
so that the other three hurlers wouldn't I
have any complaints to make.
The Nationals didn't look good at an
stage of the game. Perhaps It was L
result of their long ride; but then, and
also, perhaps 1t was the result OF Ain

Foster Best Youngster
In American League

Eddie Foster. Washington third
baseman, is the best young player TO
come into the American League this
year, is the opinion of President Ban
johnson. This is what Johnson says
OF Foster: Foster is fast fielder.
covers a lot of ground, hits well. and
plays a magnificent inside game. He
is a wise player in every way. and is
improving all OF the time.
This is his second tim elm the Amer
lean League, and he learned much by
his first experience. He was with
New York in 1910, but was not Of
much use, so was sold to Rochester.
Jim McAleer spent two weeks watch
ing him before he made up his mind
to take him to Washington last fall.
THE only possible objection to Fos-
ter might be that he is small, hut
this does not appear to handicap him,
| for he covers as much ground as any
| third baseman, and his speed in get
| ting after the ball is enough to make
up FOR and lack of. inches. He throws
| to first accurately and fast. and from
| almost any position.
| 1T is a delicate thing for me TO
pick a player as the best youngster
! in the American League, but l feel
that Foster deserves the distinction"

TAYLOR IS LARGELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR
BOSTON'S SUCCESS
Gathered Much of the Ma
terial Which Stahl Has
Developed.

While John I. Taylor no longer con-
trolls the Boston Red Sox, he is receiving
due credit for gathering the material
which Manager Stahl has developed into
pennant winner. Taylor, while presi-
dent and owner Of the Boston club, sign
ed iris Speaker. one OF the greatest
players In the game; Duffy Lewis, Harry
Hooper, who was unearthed in Califor-
MIA; Stahl, who was secured from the
Washington club; Yerkes, Wagner and
Larry Gardner, Joe Wood, Ray Collins,
Charley. Hall, Bedient, Buck o'Brien and
rape, the pltchers, and Catchers Carri-
gan, Cady, and Nunamaker.
In short, Messrs. McAleer and McRoy,
who purchased a half interest in the
club from young Taylor last year, have
80 far contributed no playing material,
and are reaping the profits resulting
from Taylor's Judgment.
There is no doubt however, that the
success of the Red ,sox this year has
been due to the leadership OF Stahl on
the field, supported by the words Of
wisdom impaired to him by the experi-
enced McAleer.-
While stahl holds the post Of mana
ger, McAleer is the man behind the gun,
so to speak McAleer a manager and
player for a decade, realized that the
Boston club possessed championship
| timber when he bought his way into
part ownership
Taylor. according 10 an agreement
made when the sale was effected, has

but has derived considerable satisfac-
tion in knowing that the players now

The Nationals got into the game in

Gandil bowled u triple down the right

J. H. Lee, of HarveyvilIe, superin-

In an effort to accomplish that end
Superintendent Lee will represent the
fair association at the International
Live Stock show at Chicago the first
week in December. 4 am going to
talk to the horsebreeders and import
ers of the east and try to arrange
to have them come to Kansas next
year with a string of show horses"

been for that horse disease this fall

draft horses. Next year we will try
to beat what we had on the slate

PLAY GAME HERE
Driver Wants to Meet Indians
on aShburn Field.
Kennedy Wants Contest Played
on WcCOOk Field.

Will Lawrence or Topeka turn out
the best crowd to see Washburn and
Haskell Indians play football?
Coaches Driver and Kennedy are
debating this question and they can't
agree.
Arrangements for the postseason
game week from Saturday have
been completed up to the point of To-
eating the contest. Coach Kennedy
wants to play it in Lawrence. He says
that a bigger crowd can be secured
there. Coach Driver wants to play
the game here because Washburn has
had only one big at home game this
year. And he believes that at so cents
and 81 per seat the game will be a
a better proposition financially than
in Lawrence, where 500 Indians would
attend, at a fiat rate of so cents for
every seat. And there you are.
The Washburn enthusiasts insist
that the game be played here and
declare the Lawrence coach wants the
advantage of meeting the Ichabods
on unfamiliar grounds. And there
you are. Coach Driver holds out for
the contest in Topeka and Coach Ken
nedy does the same thing for the Law
