BOSTON ARRANGES
 FOR CHAMP SERIES

Boston, September 1S.-Arrangements for the baseball games in the coming worlds championship series at Fenway park are well under way. Nearly 100 clerks and carpenters are at work completing the arrangements for accommodating between 2, 900 and 5000 persons daily. The Boston management has adopted an elaborate system of protection against the ticket vendoring of the past. It was said all of the 15,0O0 reserved seats will be dlstrib- uted in person except in the general all lotments to be made to the national base ball commission and to the players No tickets will be sent through the mail. No money is accepted with applications, Only those requests for tickets for all the games in this city are being taken care of and only one ticket will be issued for three games.

nerve to face the strain of the situ- ation and handle himself under the circumstances, who generally gets away with the goods in such a series. Stars of both leagues have been known to blow up completely under the strain of these contests. while each year some player who beforehand was a mere nonenity, has blazed into glory by his work here. Of course ,it takes good ball players to deliver the goods on such occasions, but both the Giants and the Red Sox are composed of some of the very best and braintest horsehide artists that the country has ever seen. Both have good base runners, good hit ters, good pitchers and brainy play CTS: but after all it's a case of nerve and confidence where such games are concerned.
 Figures are all right to dope out the probable winner, but figures never won a championship series and never will.
 The averages of both the Giants and Red SoX are given below:

The 1906 Winners

In 1906 for catchers Birmingham had Harry Matthews and Lee Garvin. Neither could throw and neither could hit. Both were slow. Lew Walters a good fielder, but slow on the bases with an inability to locate the pellet as it shot over the plate was at second. Scotty AlcoelS, a semi-professional, was at third Oyler, South Atlantic graduate, played short. In the outheld was Molesworth, an ex- cellent performer in all departments; Dale Gear. whose greatest asset was baseball intelligence, and Carlos Smith, the luck fest man who ever appeared in the south. Roy Montgomery played third for while and Castro, following the illness cs Oyler. took position at short for the last few days of the season.
 The physical strength of the club, re- posed in the marvellous swatting. of Henry Meek, first baseman, who was handi- capped by a woeful lack of speed, and the pitching of Ragan, Wilhelm and Clark. Sallee was along, but although he alone of that crew is at present on the baseball map, then he did very little toward winning the rag.

The Fighting Spirit

In recalling that 1906 aggregation one grows very tired when a blase scribe de- scribes that the 1912 Barons composed the weakest club which ever won a pennant in the Southern leagues history.
 The winning of the rag in 1906 was due to teamwork. especially in playing the squeeze and a total absence of inter nal dissention The 1906 winners could not hit as hard, run as fast, field as well, or display as rare good judgment as the winners of 1912.
 But the clubs of both lucky years had fighting spirit highly developed, de- sire to win, were in peaceful accord with their component parts and the world at large. g
 There Is the secret. When Atlanta de- velops identical spirit there will be fewer 'tail end champions in the "Gate City of the Sopth,' and sporting writers with more blood in their veins and bouyant enthusiasm in the sport of their youth.

SOME EARLY DISCUSSION OF s..&a.. THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
By c. W. GREER

Now that the Southern league has season, and the pennant races in the National and American leagues are practically decided, the interest of American fandom turns toward the worlds championship series, which oc- CUTS immediately after the present major league season.
 As is usually the case just before such contests, there is considerable speculation on the parts of the major league magnates. sporting writers and fans as to which of the two probable contenders will cop the series. Clark Griffith, the foxy manager of the Washington Nationals, can't see any thing but the Boston Red Sox in the fight Probably Griffith figures that if the Boston aggregation could show his bunch of Nationals a clean pair of heels in the American league race. that there is no reason why they should not take the Giants into camp. on the other hand. Frank Chance, the veteran leader of the Chicago cubs, dopes the Giants to win.
 Batting averages. base running aver ages and every other average that can be figured has been considered in these speculations and. regardless, there is a wide variance of opinion
 No Dependence in Dope"

 n For instance, at the present moment, certain Atlanta scribes are expressing wonder that the Barons finished on top Ehis year. In 1906 when the Barons won, Identical criticism was made. Figures Nnd statistics were employed to prove the points advocated. As a result most lasting and profound impression was cre- Ated.
 rlub 1t almost invariably occurs that writers hase their conclusions on the Physical excellence or lack of excellence lpf the players who compose that club Nn this programme they treat of hitting Strength, fielding strength and speed on ithe bases. As a matter of fact, while ethese points are worthy of considera- etion, neither goes far in rounding out ia pennant winner when the far greater asset is lacking. This far greater asset lis nothing other than esprit de corps.
 
 On Individual Barons Eliminating, for the sake of argument sthe indomitable spirit and the lack of 1nternal oissention, both of which were Characteristic of the Barons in the season yof 1912, we are not quite willing to admit ethat the conquerers were weak. On the club there was hitting strength kfielding better than the average. good tpitching end phenomenal speed. In Me SGilvray Birmingham had a fairly good Ffielder, an excellent hitter, fast man fwho stole a creditable number of bases land scored a great many runs. In all rfhe league there was no second baseman who could compare with Marcan. He Ef1elded spectacularly. He hit as hard las .240, stole bases to a good number lscored many runs and throughout the season demonstrated in unmistakable manner the fact that he is one of the .smartest performers who has been in the south. Elam's value is recognized despite his weakness at the stick. While Almeida cid not star in the field. he stung the ball as hard as the members of "the hard hitting class are expected to sting 1t.
