the king Of spitball pitchers. and one of
| the best hurlers base ball has ever
known, will have new battery partner
next season. Walsh has worked with the
| veteran Billy Sullivan so long that every
| time it was announced that the spitballer
would go to the firing line it was rea-
| sonable to expect Sully to do the catch
| ing.
But base balls best battery combina-
| tions such as Young Criger, JOSS Clarke.
Mathewson-B resnahan and any number
| of others cannot go on forever. And so
| it is with Walsh and Sullivan. The catch
er who will work with Walsh regularly
| next season has not yet attained his ma
jority. He is Ray Schalk, who back
stopped for the Milwaukee Brewers dur
ing the past season and who finished
with the White Sox.
Schalk handled Walsh's offerings in Big
! Eds victories over the Cubs in the post
! season series. Ed regards the kid as
the coming star catcher. Sullivan has
run his race as a big Lacquer. and Walsh
is fortunate in having such worthy
successor as Schalk to take Sully's place.
Not only does the American League
lead the National by virtue of winning
the last three worlds series. but Ban
Johnson's organization also claims near
team. picked by umpires, players and the
various critics who have an opportunity
to see the teams Of both leagues perform
during the regular season. The average
like this:
Catchers-Oscar Stanage. Jimmy Arch
er.
Pitchers-Walter Johnson Ed Walsh.
Christy Mathewson and Nap Rucker
First base-Jack McInnis.
Second base-Eddie Collins.
Shortstop-Honus Wagner.
Third baSe-Frank Baker
| Utility infielder-Jack Barry
Outfelders-Ty Cobb. Joe Jackson and
Iris Speaker.
Utility Outfielder-Clyde Milan.
To only one of these positions can the
National League point and offer a player
who Is clearly superior and that job is
shortstop, Hans Wagner. the eminent
master from Carnegie. Pa, Wagner is
given credit for BEND head and Shout
! ders over any shortstop in the country.
In every other position the American
League apparently stands out. which

league has made during the ten years of

Bag punching Is another excellent exer-

IN POOR SHAPE.
GEORGETOWN Eleven Has Several Men
on Injured List for Carolina Game.

That the Georgetown eleven will be in
for a hard game when it meets North
Carolina at Richmond this afternoon is
the opinion of the coaches a the hilltop.
The team is by no means in the best or
shape, and the outcome of this after
Moons contest is troubling the coaches
considerably.
Georgetown will be unable to place on
the field it's very best eleven. The Indian
game served to cripple some of the vet
Grams, and at present about every man
on the team has something troubling
him.
The severe scrimmage of THURSDAY
evening placed Dunn on the injured list,
and this big plunging back will be out
of the game until the team meets Vlr-
ginia. Dunn could scarcely walk yester-
day, and it is the plan Of the coaches to
rest him up. It seems that Dunn neglect
ed to put on his proper padding, and on
account of his negligence he will be forced
to remain out of today's game.
White. who will be started at fulloack
today, is in no shape for this afternoon
contest He has been unable to be on the
field all during the week because OF IN
iuries sustained in the contest OF last

Some men figure that If they could
have large chests. rounded out ana
thoroughly developed. there would DE
little else in this Old world that they
would crave. This is a worthy ambl-
ton. ard while general exercise and the
resultant general physical utility are
more to be desired. there are certain
exercises that are especially adapted 20
the chest.
Consider the chest as more than a
framework covered with muscular Us

velopment of the chest Is efhcleut uneSs
1t also considers the lungs.
Wall weights and pulleys, that aiso
help the back, the legs ard pretty nearly
all the balance of ones anatomy, are
very good for chest development. at the
same time strengthening the arms.
These exercises should be taken slowly
and regularly. AS in all other forms or
exercise ii is the regularity that counts.
Grasping the handles of the pulley. the
motion should be outward, and as the
arms are extended. the body should be
bent. Then, in returning, come PACK
slowly using the arms ike oarS-taklne
long downward and long upward sweeps.
This EXPANDS the chest and gives play
to the muscles. If the movements are
rhythmicaI there will not be any bunchS
muscles as a result. but If they are
quick and jerky the short muscles alone
are strengthened, and While these may
look the part more than the ione
muscles, they are not as desirable.

HOT FOR BRESNAHAN
Four National League Clubs
Bid for Ex-Manager.
MAY SLIP TO AMERICANS
First Great Player to Draw an I'm
conditional Release in
His Prime.
MAY SLIP TO AMERICANS

NEW YORK, November -Four clubs
in the National League are bidding Wig
orously for the services of Roger Bresna-
han, deposed manager of the ST Louis
Cardinals, but through a hitherto unseen
IoophOie in the laws of base ball Roger
may escape from the National League
November Z. the tenth day after his no.
tice of unconditional release by the St
Louis club. In the opinion OF certain
club owners Of the National League. Bres-
nahan will be free to do business with
any club in orsanZed base ball.
Anyhow. a new and interesting noint
of base ball law is involved in the pecu-
liar situation. When player is uncon-
ditionally released by big league team
it usually means that he is not only USE
less 10 the releasing club but to all other
clubs. Even if a player is too slow for
the big leagues he can always fetch a
high price in the minor league market
and as long as he has a market value he
is sold instead of being Internationally
canned.
Bresnahan is the first great player to
draw an unconditional release in his
prime.
This unparalleled situation therefore
opens up new line of procedure. No
body will invoke the law to hold a PLAYER
who is down and out. but National
League club owners will not DC rInit Bres-
nahan to slip away without making a
fight for him. They consider him an as
set to the league and blame the st. Louis
club for giving him this chance to get
away.
Charley Ebbets makes no secret of the
fact that he would like to sign Bresna-
han.
Cincinnati. Boston and Philadelphia are
the three other clubs that are ready to
make Bresnahan proposition.
If Bresnahan can establish his stand
ing as free agent after November he
can almost pick his club in the American
League if he cares to do business at rea-
sonable figures. The National League is
much better off in classy catchers than
the American. Frank Farrell could use
Roger right here in New York. He would
make a splendid running mate for Ed
sweeney and his popularity in New York
would be worth lot to Farrell. The
fans here have not forgotten Rogers
years of hustling for the Giants. He is
as Well liked any player that comes
here with a visiting team.

Horace Fosel insists that the club own
ers in the National League will stand
! by him in the fight President Lynch Is
making against him. Fogel may be In a
better position to say what the National
Leaguers will or will not do than some
outsider, but it is not clear how any one
can stand by FOgel if the charges
against him are proved.
| If Fogel made the statement that the
last race in the National League was
fixed and he fails to prove his assertion,
then there is no room in base ball for
him. Even the National League club
owners must realize that they cannot toll
crate an individual who casts reflections
OH the honesty of the game, be he club
owner. hired fgurehead or what not
The game is not endangered by inSin-
uations which are made by unsoph.sti-
Gated outsiders. but when an individual
at the head of one of the contendlng
clubs makes charges he must prove them
or should be literally kicked out of all
connection with the game. Fogel may be
innocent, but he must be proved so be-
fore he can expect the support of any one
interested in base ball.
Jim McAleer says that the Red Sox
will be kept intact-that is, the team
which beat the Giants will be the same
which will fight for honors In the next
campaign. But championship teams
usually do not last long. Look at the
wonderful changes that have taken place
in recent winners of flags.

any means, while both Chicago and Pitts

HORACE TALKING AGAIN.
Fogel Says Other Magnates Will
Stand by Him.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2.-That
Horace F'ogel does not in any way stand
in awe of the wrath of Thomas Lynch,
president OF the National League, was
clearly demonstrated in an interview
given out by the Phillies' executive yes
terday. in which he declared that Lynch
was in reality subservient to him. being
only an employe Of the National League,
while he was one of it's eight bosses.
The genial Horace also intimated that
Lynch was acting in rather ungrateful
manner. in view Of the fact that he was
partly depending on the Phiilies' boss for
the position he holds at the helm Of the
National League.
President Lynch Is rather unpopular
in the National League and will have a
difficult task in holding the high Office
which is his at the present time" said

has been one of the strong supports of the
Pnillies for a number of years. To per.
init DoOlan to leave this city would mean
a loss to the Phillies and a gap that

The good thing was supposed to be Mon
golian. but it failed to materialize. The
winner was Star Gaze, who came with a
rush In the last sixteenth and won by
two lengths from Bryndown of the Clyde
entry, the other being Brynlimah. All
the early pace was set by Monaghan. but
in the stretch he blew up and ran third.

Of Washington. The distance was mile
and three-sixteenths. Rounding the first

to the front and remained there all the

six lengths away from Amelia jerks.
The spectators evidently overlooked the

lead rounding the far turn and then drew
away without apparent effort to win BY
four lengths from Comins Coon. Lawton
Virgins went the long route. ran a good

have been 300 to /, for he ran next to last
