series. Before reviewing the game

and how they shape up against
New York
Many Of the players who took
part in the 1909 series will battle
in the world series next month and
It may be interesting TO study their

bearing It will have on the big title

Iris Speaker was the star Of the
series. He was at bat twenty times
and made twelve hits, which gave
him an average OF 500 per cent for
the seriea. l consider Speaker one
of the greatest players that ever
graced the diamond.
Speaker was a marvel in 1908,
but he is even better today. He Is
more experienced, fields better, is a
whirlwind on tho bases and has
knack Of hitting em out in the

Is there such q disease as rabies?

consists Of a report by George H.

Doctor Hart writes:
MANY educated men, including

Of hydrophobia in the human family
