HARRY DAVIS TO TEACH
 BASEBALL AROUND WORLD
Former Cleveland Manager Wants to Show Natives of Other CIimes
 How to Play.

Philadelphia, Sept. 23-Harry Davis, ex-manager of the Maps, is planning to become American baseball ambas- Sador at large to the world. He is now in correspondence with baseball men commissioned to sign baseball coaches for foreign countries
 Davis plans to teach the game in Japan, China, England, France, to the German army, in Hawaii and to the athletic loving people of Australia.
 "I have information that there are fat jobs waiting for competent base ball coaches in these countries,'' said Davis. Baseball is certain ito travel around the world. The statement re- gently made that international base ball games among the four corners of the earth would promote worlds peace through bringing the nations into closer understanding of each other may not be a dream.
 "A. G. Spalding explains that the failure of athletes of other countries to cope with American athletes at the games was due, to their lack of baseball training, which every American lad gets from the time he puts trousers on. I have informa tion that army officers in France, England, Germany and other countries feel that the physical condition and moral of the soldiers would be benefited if they had baseball as a diversion

 FIGHTING SULLIVAN TWINS

Fighting often runs in families, and
 numerous instances might be cited of

 ed, but modern ring annals include
 only one set of twins who have at

 These are the Sullivans, Jack and
 Mike, who were born at Cambridge,
 Mass, thirty-four years ago.
 Jack Twin was the better man of
 the two although Mike in his prime
 was mighty hard man to handle for
 any fighter of his class. Jack began fighting in 1896. when he appeared in
 numerous pre1iminaries. During his
 first year he won all his battles with
 two exceptions, and these were draws. against the good ones. in the middle
 weight and heavyweight divisions, fighting draws with Peter Jackson,
 Owen Zeigler and Mike Schreck. His first defeat came in 1903, when Phil
 adelphia Jack OBrien defeated him in fifteen rounds The following year he again met O'Brien and was knock ed out in the third round. In the same year he defeated Martin Duffy, Hugo Kelly and Mike Schreck. He lost another battle with Kelly that year, and a third resulted in a draw. Kid Mccoy defeated him, but the bout went twenty rounds In 1905 he fought twice with Tommy Burns, the Canadian. winning the decision in one twenty-round affair, and draw in the othe1 In this year he also held his old foe, Jack O'Brien, to a draw. In 1906 he fought draws with Hugo Kelly and Jim Flynn, but in another bout was defeated by the Pueblo fireman in nineteen rounds. Jack Palmer and Bill Squires were among his victims that year He was knocked out in twenty rounds by Stanley KetcheI at San Francisco in 1908, and lost on a foul to Marvin Hart, but defeated Jim Prendergast at Halifax. Since then Jack has been going backward, and 1 has often met defeat at the hands of l second raters.

CHEERING SECTION FOR
 LOYAL BOSTON HOOTERS
Red Sox Fans Practicing Songs and Tells to Encourage Team at
 Polo Grounds

Boston, Sept 23-Organized cheering will be feature of the worlds series games between the Red Sox and the Giants and Stahrs crew will not Ia ok for proper support when they play in New York if the plans of a commit tee, headed by the famous rooter,
 tNuf Ced'' McGreevey, materialize.
 The arrangements and dates of the games will determine the size of the Boston rooters' party. If two games are played here and two in New York, FMcGreevey figures he can gather near ly 1000 rooters to take in all the games. If the games alternate that Is, one game here and one game in New York, the committee believes that only few hundred will make the trip.
 Since early in August when the Red Sox looked formidable enough to grab the pennant, a committee has been quietly at work on the roofing propo- a party of men loyal to the Sox, and which has as members President Me Aleer and Secretary McRoy, have been prime movers in this proposition of organizing a rooters' band.
 Hughey Jennings, manager of the Detroit club, has wired President he would join the party, and the "Eh Yalh' man will be the principal guest. Hugh Duffy, manager of the Milwau- kee team of the American Association and one of the leading members Of the Faust dramatic winter club, will also be on hand. Fred Lake, former man aSer or the ReQ SOX, a prominent member of the Winter league" has agreed to be one of the cheer leaders, and Hugh McBreen has wired Presi- dent Dooley that as soon as he can get away from his Jersey City club he will assist in making final arrange ments.
 John l. Taylor, vice president of the Rcd Sox has a record of never miss ing a '@Winter league meeting and consequently is in line for some hard work in getting the party together. John O'Reil1y, the famous school ath- letic coach, finds that the worlds se- ries dates will conflict with his foot ball work, but hopes to be able to at tend one of the championship games
 It is planned to engage a band of 30 pieces. Parodies on all the popular songs are being arranged. Each root CT will be provided with a megaphone and an appropriate pennant. "Tessie.' the song made famous in the Boston Pittsburgh championship series in 1903, when the tide of victory turned while the Boston rooters sang this refrain. will again be featured by the local rooters. Cheer leaders will be select ed, and the rooters will soon meet to rehearse cheers and songs.

 WITH BLACK ROCK
 BASEBALL SQUAD

The third game in the Yost-Black Rock post season series was played at Yost field, yesterday afternoon, before a crowd of 1,80O people, and was call with the score tied at A, conditions being such that the darkness made it impossible to continue.
 Marty O'Toole, the famous $22, 800 Pittsburgh pitcher, sat on the Yost bench during the game and acted as starter of the Louskey-Norris race, which preceded the contest. It was a sprint around the bases, and both men negotiated the distance in 15 4-5 sec onds. The tie will stand for a while, as both men are not anxious to put forth their best efforts in a race un- less a trophy is offered.
 The game itself was not of the qua1- and was drawn out affair. Ro- packer pitched eIegent ball for the YoSt team, coming back strong after bad start, flaming ten and Keeping the hits scattered. Barron, the Bridgeport pitcher, was hit pretty shape
 The fielding features were many. Christy killed a hit with a bare hand stop, Horkheimer covered an abund- ance of ground. EgaRs work behind the bat was very fine Butler ate up everything on the initial sack, White led in hitting, Loveday scored twice from second on infeld taps, Hurley batted out a screa ming triple and IouSkeys base running was classy. In short, the game pleased the un- usually large crowd in attendance.

TORONTO WINS
 TENANT CONTEST
TAKES INTERN LEAGUE FLAG FROM ROCHESTER
 AFTER HOT RACE.

The International League season closed yesterday with the playing of games in two cities, with Toronto the pennant winner by a margin of B points, or five games over Rochester, in second place. Newark finishes third; Baltimore, fourth; Buffalo, fifth; Montreal, sixth, and Jersey City seventh, while Providence ends the season in last place. Yesterdays s games between Jersey City and New ark and Buffalo and Montreal changed only percentages, not the relative po- sition of any Of the clubs.
 Everything considered, we have had a big season. said President Ed ward Barrow, of the International League. last night. +Tt has been a hot fight all through, with the clubs
 more closely punched than in years. Up to reasonably near the close of the season there was chance for any one of the clubs to capture the flag.
 Toronto reserved the pennant-win- ming team, and her championship club this year is a remarkably fine one. the champion club of the last three seasons. deserves a lot of credit for hanging on the way it has in this years fight.
 t'The prospects for next season are bright. There will be no change what ever in the circuit

BETTING .FAv0RS.
 BOSTON RED SOX
PREVAILING ODDS IN NEW YORK SPORTING RESORTS ARE
 TO 4.

Heavy wagering on the result of
 the coming worlds series between the
 New York Giants and the Boston Red
 Sox has begun in earnest. Thous-
 ands of dollars have been posted a1- ready, and the indications are that
 before the teams clash in the first game sum of enormous proportions will hang :n the balance. A canvass of leading bettors at various New
 York sporting resorts Saturday night revealed the indisputab1e fact that the Red Sox are hot favorites and that the prevailing odds offered by their supportern are to 4.
 Men who backed the Giants heavily last year, chiefly because the strength and skill of the Athletics were under estimated, cannot figure McGraw,s known brokers and business men who make a practice of betting on sport ing events. showed memoranda Satur- day night covering strings of bets on each case those who backed the Giants secured to or 0 to 8, with a little 10 to now and then.
 Prominent layers of odds, book years, have also made the Red Sox odds on favorites.
 A week ago these gamblers were laying 4 to against the Boston champions, but they got such a big play that yesterday it was said that 7 to 10 would be on tap this week anu p0TIdpS tO O. III Ic1CI, DIE Sp0Cu- lators told The Sun man that it would not be surprising if they quoted 1 to 2 against the Red SoX by the time the series begins.
 This summary of the betting situa- ton doesn't mean that the Giants lack financial support. A Cleveland man who has money invested in a big racetrack has already wagered $30, ,000No on McGraw's pennant win ners, and it is said that he will bet as much more if the odds are length ened- A well known actor is said to have expressed a desire to bet $5O,OOO on the Bostons, but nobody seems to know whether the offer will be cov- cred or not. The twise money" however, will go on the Boston end and there'n be an unlimited amount of it.
 The reason advanced for the strong support accorded to the Red Sox is that the Giants are not playing cham= ball and have not been able entirely to recover from the slump of ast July; also that in the opinion of some of the best posted baseball play CTS and managers the Red Sox are stronger as a whole than the Ath- cities of last year.
 As usual John J. McGraw isn't talk ng for publication, but he is quietly preparing the Giants for a, desperate fight with the widely praised Bean eaters. McGraw pays no attention to he wagers of the wise men or the odds quoted by the lightning calcu- ators.

PRINCETON ELEVEN TO
 BE CHOSEN THIS WEEK
Coaches Expect to Have Hard Job
 Filling Linemen's Places.

Princeton. N. J., Sept. 23-The com ing week will in all probabilities see the definite formation by the Tiger coaches of the small squad of players which will be whipped into shape. With Dunlap, Wight and Waller out of the daily practice, so far, the coaches have been forced to fill in their places with men who will at best made only the scrub.
 Cunningham has had to grope around for line material, but it is said that he has now decided on the men he will try out for the positions left vacant by Hart, Duff and Wilson. Streit, B. Trenkman and Shenk are due to receive long trials at the line positions. None of these men has been playing regularly on the varsity.
 When Waller comes out for prac- tise the coaches will be able to get right down to business and find out just where they can use him. They must use him, for he5 is easily the best of any of the Tiger backs.

Mat McGrath, the man who aston
 ished audiences at the Olympic games in Stockh olm, broke the worlds rec ord for the hammer throw at Sea Breeze yesterday afternoon by hurl- ing the missile 197 feet, in an exhibi- ton toss. Representing cAe Irish American A. C., the big Manhattan policeman thrilled the good sized crowd of spectators by his perform ance When he whirled around and swung the hammer into space it look ed as if the apparatus would drop into the canvas waves of Lake Erie which were still on exhibition in the field. McGrath was loudly appIauded Tor his performance.
 Mel Sheppard, hero of two Olym- pie meets, showed his skill by win ming the sSO yard dash from Henry Miller and J. Bell of the Mohawk A. C., New York. Peerless Mer' ex- hibited the stride which has moved down the worlds best runners and the audience was much pleased with his work.
 Pat Mcdonald. who captured the weight events at Stockholm. put his put the shot AS feet. Mcdonald is a traffic policeman at Times Square. New York, and looks big enough to break a burglar in half.
 Abel Kiviat. another Irish Am eri7 can A. c. crack wno starred in the Olympic events, led the way in the one mile run. s He ran rom scratch but had no difficulty in beating John Farrell and Edward Sandberg of New Haven.
 Alvah T. Meyer, who won a first place at Stockh ohm, represented the Irish-Am erfcan A. c. in the 100 yards dash. He was scratch man but breezed home a winner in 10 Is seconds.
 The three mile run in which John J. Gallagher. Yale university crack who competed at Stockholm, was the star, attracted great attention. A red headed youth named Thomas Barden of Yonkers, N Y., had a handicap of 75 yards and stepped along in such lively fashion that Gallagher couldn't overtake him. The ten thousand metre run which was captured by Harry Smith of New York, was also interesting.
 The breaking of the worlds record by Mat McGrath closes Sea Breeze Island in a blaze of glory for Man ager William L. Gallagher. He put on a fine exhibition yesterday and the people appreciated it. Only few cities the size of Bridgeport have had
