WORLDS SERIES
Brother Dan Cupid Got in
His Work All
Right.

(By Gordon Mackay.)
History has in it's archives the 1912
worlds series. The word pai.ters
have finished their work; the vivid
literature has eh,balmed the eight
contests. Nothing more necessary ON
that score to give the satiated fans.
But there were numerous sidelights
on hat great series OF battles that

stuff for grouch-of the real news

butting in with their "experting' in
this sort Of series.
Or course, with u rare exception.

this connection there is a funny story
about RUDE Marquard.

came through with a bang.

players themselves almost. They kept
the cables singing the songs Of the
series. 1t must have cost Thousands
Of dollars to those newspapers to fur
nish their readers with the descrip-
ton of those eight games. The Ave

English and usually write their cable
dispatches in that language. Each

Royal Rootcrs.

Boston bunch known as the Royal

tween the National and American,
leagues. This "a the time that Bos.
ton and Pittsburg collided in 1908.
This bunch of rooters this year went
band. stopped at a first class hote,
and spent thousands Of dollars just to
lend their vociferous aid to the home
team. But it is doubtful after the
treatment which the Boston American
baseball club handed them in the
extra game if there will be any such
demonstration on their part after this.
1t seems strange that each season
there should be such kicking against
the umpiring. The work Of the four
arbitrators in the eight games, alb
solutely flawless and without a blem-
ish, seems to argufy that such talk is
foolish and not based IN the facts of
the case. MOI a single kick was reg
istered. not ever the semblance of a
protest was registered. and outside OF
the players themselves the lids are
lifted to Messrs. KLEIN, Rigler. Evans
n O'Loughlin. It was as splendid
an exhibition of cool. calm personal
judgment that was correct that this
quartet showed as n partisan could
wish to witness.
Everybody "kidded' the players
when they protested to the commits
sion that they should figure in five
games of the series, as far as cutting
the melon was concerned. The ma
tional commission neatly but effective
~ told them to e to Gehenna. Sew
eral of the players said with anger,
there will be one club that won't
be in the worlds series next year."
Cut it out" said a disguised cor
respondent. four days overdue from
home. there will be fourteen clubs
that won't be in the worlds series
next year." Ha! ha! for the FASTENERS.
There were three rooters. sturdily
and steadfastly. who travelled per-
haps further than any trio of shout
ers In the entire series. This was
the mother. father and sister of Har-
~ Hooper. 1t took them six days
to reach New York and see the stall
wart OF the Boston outfeld in the
worlds series render a splendid ac-
count of himself. Oakland, CAL, is
Hooper's home. and it is from this
distance that the trio travelled. They
saw all eight games. and they were
among the enthusiastic rooters when
the Sox won the worlds series.

At least four members of the Red
