She says she is sorry you can't speak German.

W0RLD'S SERIES PRETTY
 EVEN BET SAYS EXPERT

Says J. Ed. Grille. the Washington baseball expert: Don't figure the Giants not having a chance in the worlds series. The odds will be against them, perhaps, but these sec Ond choices in baseball struggles fre- quently make good
 This hope about Boston having the advantage because they beat the Giants a series several years ago, is sure to have the effect of making the Red Sox the favorites, but favorites do not always win. On the whole the two teams seem well matched It is like tossing coin to pick the win ner, in fact. From no angle that a comparison can be made of the two teams will much difference be found between them. The fact that the Giants have been in one worlds ser ieS, while it will be a new proposition for the Red Sox. should give the old leaguers advantage. Luck of course, cuts enormous figure in a series of seven games.
 Two perfectly matched teams might furnish a one-sided contest in a series of such short duration. There is nothing wonderful about either of the two teams which are destined to play for the worlds title this year Both have weak spots in their lineup, and the fellow who is specuiatively in clined will do well to take the short end of the betting.''

LYNCH TO PUT
 FOGEL ON GRILL
PRESIDENT MUST MAKE HIS CHARGES GOOD BEFORE
 LEAGUE DIRECTORS.

President Thomas J. Lynch, of the National League, purposes to have the board Of directors of the league in vestigate the charges of Horace S. Fogel, president of the Philadelphia Club, that favorable decisions by cer- tain umpires were responsible for the New York Club winning the pennant this year. MT. Lynch says he cares nothing for MT. F'ogels personal at tack upon him, but that the imputa- ton of dishonesty on the part of the umpires cannot be overlooked.
 Mr. Lynch issued the Following statement last night:
 "As far as President Fogeps at- tack on the president of the National League is concerned I care nothing. My twenty-five years record in base ball speaks for itself. The cowardIy attack on the honesty of the umpires and the game itself is a different mat ter. however, and cannot be over looked.
 ttI shall take the charges of Presi- dent Foge1 before the Board of Di- rectors of the National League which has sole Jurisdiction. Regardless of whether MT. Fogel has any financial interest in the Phiiadelphia club or not, he is the president of that or gunization, and the charges he makes can only be handled by the league itself

B0MBARDlER WELLS TO
 BOX GEORGE CARPENTER
English Champion Expects Hard Bat
 tie From French Title Holder.

Before Bonabardier Wells, the Eng fish heavyweigiats champion, returns to this country it is probable that he will be matched with Georges Car pentier the idol of the French. Both boxers have announced their willing ness for a matchs- The Cirque de Paris has put in 8 bid for the ma tch and Oct. 9 has been mentioned as the date.
 Carpenter has been taking on weight rapidly during the past few months, but he is still far lighter than the Englishman. Judging Car pentier on his bouts with Willie Lew is and SF,rank Klaus he should be an easy victim for the hard hitting Wells. Against an opponent much smaller than himself the Englishmans $ one fault, lack of endurance, would not be such great handicap. Yet the extremely conservative English followers of boxing look upon the match as an equal one, while the en- French cannot see where their favorite is outclassed in any re- Spect.

RED SOx CATCHERS WILL
 MAKE GIANTS HUG BASES
Carrigan, Cady and Nunamaker Are
 Heady Trio of Backstops.

The Giants are not likely to run wild on the bases in the worlds series games, as the catchers Of the Red Sox have pretty good arms. In the American League this year Boston s opponents have not been stealing with great frequency on CaTrigan, Cady, Nunamaker and Thomas. In the first five months Of the season the Red Sox adversaries pilfered 157 bases, Chica- go coral1ing 30. Washington. A, Phil adelphia, B, New York 22, Detroit 21. St. Louis 20 and Cleveland IT. While Boston's rivals were acquiring this number of 1aFcenies 195 more or less fleet runners were being killed off in endeavoring to steal. Thus Carrigan, Cady and the other two receivers have thrown out two of every five men.
 Carrigan has had s8 bases stolen on him. and his good right Arm has cut down 65 men. Cady, Joe Woods bat teTy mate, has done even better than Carrigan. Cady has permitted 24 lar cenfes and has refused to-SStands for 2d thefts.
 Nunamaker has cut down g men who tried to steal bases and is charg- ed with having allowed 37 to get away Thomas who is not likely to get a chance in the series, has Jagged four men and his throws have been beaten eight times.

SAVAGE PUT OUT
 BY GUNB0AT SMITH
WALLOP SENDS HIM TO DREAM
 LAND IN THIRD ROUND.

A broadside from Gunboat Smiths starboard battery sunk Jim Savage of Orange N. J., for the full drone of the doleful decimal in the third round of their scheduled ten-round bout be- fore Q, large crowd in Madison Square Garden last night. Johnny Dundee outpointed Harry Thomas, the Brit ish featherweight, who recently de- feated Abe Attell, and Jimmy Coffey of Harlem shaded Joe Thomas of New Orleans in the other two ten-roupd bouts.
 savage's knockout was peculiar and many fans who were not in a position to see the blow that did it, went away ped'' without being hit. The punch that dropped the Orange man, how ever, would have sung a pattleship.
 This is the way it happened smith missed 8 left to the body, his arm sliding under Savage's right armpit. Jim held Smiths left arm with his jerk. pulling Savage to him and meet ing him with a. short right that land ed flush on the point of the jaw.
 Between the pull and the push the power and it lifted Savage off his feet and hurled him his back, his head thumb Jim scarcely twitched g. mus cIe and he lay there like 9, fallen log. seconds after he was carried to bis corner.
