G THE BRAINS OF
THE RED SOX, SAYS CADY

II believe we will beat the Giants;
in fact l know it. l am not bowling
about hard luck but anyun can see
we have not had the breaks. Col
Inns pitched a fairly goou game but
he was not at his best for some rea-
son or other in Wednesdays game.
His curve ball and his fast one were
not breaking as they do when he has
control. He slipped too many of them
over in the, groove, O'Brien de-
served to win yesterday, and would
have If some of our. long drives had
not peer right at Giant o~utfielders.
When you've played baseball in fast
company you can appreciate what IL
means to get the breaks, and we'll
get ours sooner or %laterand class will
ell. Ill predict that the Giants will
not win another game and that Mar
guard will be beaten in his next
start
Cady gave credit to Charley Wag.
ner, also an ex-Newarker. for be-
ing the brains of the Boston team.
Stahl allowed him to captain the
club. even though Jake is
himself, and Wagner has shown won
derful baseball ability as a strate-
gist. Many think that Wagner Is
better equipped for the leaders, job
than Stahl.
The big catcher was naturally dis
appointed when Devore yanked in
his long smash, robbing him of a
double yesterday and spelling a Red
Sox victory. Il can't see how he
ever managed to catch the ball."
said Cady. "He certainly showed
good Judgment in playing the right
position, for / generally hit in that
direction. Bedient is in great shape,
and if he gets a chance to work

a week from today IN his way home

from Jake" Stahl was read last

the Red Sox manager is a member
announcing that he would carry out
the wishes of his friends by bring

The banquet was held TO celebrate
a baseball victory over the business

Several Men Have Done
Enough So Far to Be Per-
f# manent Heroes.
tFrom a staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 1l.-Joe Wood
and RUDE Marquard have been the
pitching heroes of the Boston-Giant
World series to date, but indications
saEe that neither will rival the mighty
Xhlef Bender's performance for the
Athletics last year. From the early
indications CLEANED after the first
three games it looks as though there
s%ill be no one individual star about

star in 1909. Coombs was the Ath-
1etic standby in 1910. Last year Ben

Wood is a pitcher who depends a

stake of swinging too hard against

AID WOLGAST ARRIVES IN
PHILADELPHIA TO TRAIN

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.-Ad
Wolgast, the lightweight champion of
America, arrived in this city yester-
day afternoon, accompanied by his
manager, Tom Jones. Wlogast is
matched to box Teddy Maloney at
olympia on Wednesday night, Octo-
Der 16. He reports himself in good
condition. having fully recovered
from his recent attack of appendicitis
and also having recovered the use Of
his injured arm. Wolgast will start
training today at Herman Hutt's
Fernwood stock farm. The match is
to be at 1873 pounds ringside, and VOL
CAST will not have to work very hard,
as his manager, Tom Jones, stated
last night that he does not weigh 1873
pounds now. Hence all the training
he will have to do will be a little work
for his wind.

Cady. it will be remembered, caught
every one of Woods sixteen consecu-

which Cady caught was Wood beaten
during the entire series. Cady showed
where his right hand was still puffed
and stained yellow with iodine to take
the sting away after handling Woods

Cady naturally thinks that Smoky
Joe is the greatest thing that ever
happened in the pitching line.
"He's a better pitcher than john
son." said Cady, because while he
has not Johnson's natural bald and
| constitution, he has just as much
speed. / swear 1t. And Joe has more
nerve and cool courage than any
pitcher in our league. Yes, I think the
American League is faster in many
ways than the International. Ball
players tell me that the National and
International are nearer to being on
the same level, but I can't say for
myself, because I've never played in
the other big league.

MILWAUKEE, AUTO
RACES ALL LOSS

MILWAUKEE, Oct. IA prelimi-
nary audit of the receipts and ex-
penses of the auto speed carnival
here shows that the Milwaukee Auto
mobile Dealers Association, which
promoted the events, lost between
10000 and $35, 900. The expenses to-
tailed 49, 900, of which SAC, 600 was
spent on the course This was 500, 900
more thar the promoters estimated.
The receipts reached $40, 900. 1t is
estimated that although 100, 900 per-
sons saw the race, only $40. 900 was
paid in admissions. According to
George w. Browne, one of the promo
ters, only one person in ten on the
course paid his way in. This was be-
cause the guards were unable to cope
with the crowds.

clutched the pill and then turned a
somersault backwards.
Jake Stahl had hard luck in the
seventh frame or Boston would have
tied the score in spite of a fierce
bonehead bit of base running by
Lewis in the ninth. Stahl, who took
to Marquard more fondly than any
other member of the Red Sox, lifted
a long wallop that threatened to
clear the fifty-foot high advertise
ments IN the left field wall. The ball
struck ten feet from the top of the
sign and bounded back into the left
field ~bleachers, for a two-bagger. In
New York it would have been a clean
homer.
McGraw showed a wonderful man
agerlal wisdom when he put Fletcher
back in the game again yesterday,
despite Fletcher's erratic work in the
other two games.
In fact, McGraw has outgeneraled
Stahl almost two to one. McGraw's
one big mistake to date was his fail
ure to call on Becker ito bat for
Fletcher in the ninth on Tuesday, but
McGraw's judgment and knowledge
of his own ballplayers was vindicated
when he sent Fletcher back into yes
terday's game under the most stingrl
ing criticism, and Fletcher re
deemed himself. 1t was the Giant
shortstop's single over StahTs head
hal drove in what proved to be the
Giants winning run. Furthermore,
Fletcher fielded cleanly. Stahl was
subjected to expert criticism for
sending in Hall to bat for O'Brien
when Hall had shown on the previous
day that he was moi on edge for some
reason or other. Red Sox supporters
believe that Cady should have batted
at that time and a different story
would have resulted.
Hugh Bedient, a former Providence
pitcher. may be the star of the series
before it is over if Stahl will give
him a chance to start a game instead
of having him warmed up all the time
for emergency purposes. Bedient has
looked better than n other pitcher
Stahl trotted out, with the exception
of Wood. O'Brien was erratic yester-
day, and eve though he was not hit
hard. his lack of control when he
tried to work the made the
Giants wait him out, and his passes
might have been costly but for his
supreme nerve.
He gave a gritty exhibition, es-
peeially in the fifth, when the Giants
had three on bases, two out, one run
in and Snodgrass at the bat. Snod-
grass got two strikes and three balls.
O'Brien had to put it over and two
long fouls to left resulted. Then
Snodgrass lifted one of those half
liners-half flies to left and Lewis
chung to 1t for dear life.
