BOSTON FANS GO WILD AS PEN NANT WINNERS RETURN
 HOME FROM WEST.

Boston, Sept. 24HThe pennant win ming Red Sox received & tremendous welcome upon their arrival here late yesterday afternoon from the final Western tour of the season When they found the great building so dense1y packed that train service in and out was inberfered with, and that Mayor Fitzgerald headed the welcom- ing delegation Finally the team forced it's way through the crowd to waiting automobiles, which conveyed them through the center Of the city to Boston Common. The streets were lined with thousands of persons who cheered the victors of the American League with great vim, and business along the route was suspended for the
 Reaching the Common the team found another jam gathered about the Parkman bandstand- Here Mayor Fitzgerald fguratively pressed the crown of laurel upon the shrinking head of Manager Jake Stahl and hail. ed the boys as the .tbest baseball team in the world, without waiting until next month to see whether what he thinks is true or not. The Mayor spoke through a megaphone to be sure that all of the 12,000 gathered about nounced that he was proud to say that Boston is the greatest baseball town in the world. He extended the keys Of the city to the Red Sox.
 District Attorney Ped1itier and Sher- if Quinn also spoke, and it appeared almost to be 9. political rally, as both the latter are candidates for office. Manager Stahl responded to the well come with difficulty, as hitting, not public speaking, Is in his line. He said:
 stOn behalf of the players I want to say that we all appreciate the splendid reception on our home coming. No other city in the world could equal it and thank you all on behalf of the team for your kindness to us"
 Other players also said a, few words.

VOL VERTON IS
 BOOSTING HEATING
NEW YORK AMERICAN MANAGER SAYS LOCAL BOY WILL PROVE
 SENSATION.

Harry WoIverton, the hustling man ager of the Highlanders. is more than pleased with his new pitcher, Ray Heating, from Lawreice, and his new third baseman, Count Midkiff, from San Antonio. WoIverton blew into New York yesterday afternoon from Cleveland for a conference with Frank Farrell, after which he started for Boston, where the Hi1lnaen will open a series with the champion Red Sox today.
 Take it from me- WolVerton said, Heating is going to make good. He's the most promising young pitcher 1 ever set eyes on, and Inn 11@t stretch games in Chicago and Detroit, but those defeats were not of consequence. He has plenty of speed. good curves. a wonderful spitbaII, uses his head and is a quick thinker.
 s'An Heating needs now is a little experience, for the rough edges al ready have been polished off him. He was praised highly to me before I saw him perform in a real game, and I must say I was surprised at the ball he pitched against the White Sox and the Tigers intend to use him as frequently as possible in the remain shall probably pitch him tom orrow against the Red Sox.
 Heating is a Well-built youngsters strongly developed, and knows how to handle himself in the box. He watches runners on the bases closely, and it is hard for a runner to get much of a lead on him. I look for Keating to be the sensation of the American League next season"

CHICAGO MANAGER SAYS BOS- TON WON'T FIND GIANT STAR
 EASY TO HIT

Frank Chance. manager of the Chicago Cubs. who about a week ago underwent an operation for 8 blood clot on the brain, is getting along about as well can be expected. He is convalescing so rapidly that he ex- poets to be out and about tom orroW. He has made arrangemen ents to go back to Chicago on Saturday. His wife will go with him. Joe Tinker will remain in charge of the team.
 During his illness Chance has. kept posted on baseball affairs. He hopes and thinks that the Giants will beat the Boston Red Sox for the baseball championship.
 Let no one be led astray by this talk of Mathewson going back,'' said Chance. He has lost a little of the speed he possessed in former years, but he will be the mound using the same great headwork that has helped to make him one of the best pitchers in the game. His wonderful control will be another valuable as- set. The last time I read the statis- tics the Bostons were leading the American League in receiving bases on balls. Well, they are not going to get much assistance from Matty in that line. Mathewson's control is so good that he is one pitcher in the League who does not keep opposing batters jumping away from the plate to keep from being hit by wild ones"

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The dramatic suspension of Frank Schulte, voted to be the greatest player in the National League in 1911, in Cincinnati a few weeks ago, was followed here yester- jday by a fresh declaration of war by Charley Murphy. the taIkative 'preai % dent of the Cubs.
 Murphy has laid down tfre law to the members of his former champion ship club, and five Of the most prom 1nent Chicago players have been fn- formed that hereafter they must a5- hours.
 Booze, cigarettes and late hours beat us out of the pennant this year. said Murphy, but it won't beat us out of it again. I have spotted the men who are not taking care Of themselves, and they will obey the commandments, get off my team I cannot afford to lose any more pen- nants.
 The Cubs are not the only team that will work under anti-booze and anti-cigarette rules next season. All the National League clubs will fall into line, as club owners do not feel disposed to pay men who do not take care Of themselves. The day of the booze-fghter in baseball fs gone. We had some men on the club this year who had big regulations, and grew a little careless.
 They grew careless when we had a chance for pennant, and they will not grow careless again on my team. had enough of it this year to last me for a long time, and when we late hours and booze will never beat us again."

 Umpire Red Held. who made a fine record in the Connecticut League this season, will probably hold the indica- tor in the American Association next year. President Chivington of this strong league wants Held and it looks as if the boy with the auburn dresses would land the job.
 President Ed Barrow Of the Inter national League is also after Held. During the past season Barrow made several offers for the arbitef, but go until the schedule was completed. Held would prefer to work in the American Association. He lives in St. Louis and could get home once in a toms staff. If he went to the Inter national League it would be a case Of remaining away from home all sea- son. The American Association is Class AlA and pays high salaries to umpires.
