WHITE S0X THE FAv0RITES.
Ed Walsh Looms Up Against Cubs
in Intercity Series.

CHICAGO, October THE two Chicago
major league base ball teams closed their
seasons yesterday. each winning, and to-
day will rest in preparation for the city
series. which will begin tomorrow. a
majority Of the local sporting writer's
pick the American Leaguers as winners
of the city championship, giving the pref
erence to the White Sox because Of their
possession OF Ed Walsh on their pitching
staff. The big spitball artist is acknowl
edged by Frank Chance, manager Of the
Cubs. to be better than any pitcher the
Cubs can put up against him. Chance,
however. asserts that the famous inside
game and experience Of the Cubs will
bring them through, even with an inferior
pitching staff, and this is the argument
Of the National teams hackers. The
White SoX are younger players than the
Cubs but are figured to suffer somewhat
in comparison on the oasis Of big league
experience.
There is little betting on the result on
account of the bad condition the Cub
pitching staff is acknowledged to be in.
Interest in the game Is increased to ad-
mirers of the Cubs, as the series may be
the last appearance with the team OF
Frank L. Chance. Neither Chance nor
Murphy has as yet given out his final
statement in the matter. except for MUIR
phys pronunciamento that Chance will
not manage the team next year.

CHANCE MAY LEAD REDS.
Peerless One Likely to Manage Gin
cinnati Next Year.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. October frank Le-
roy Chance to lead the Cincinnati Reds in
1913-that's the report flashed Saturday
night from the city on the Rhine, and
serves to explain the hurried departure
from Chicago of President Charles w.
Murphy.
Immediately upon his return last Sun
day from New York, Chance issued siz-
cling statement on his retirement as
skipper of the Cubs and added in emphat-
ic terms that he would be seen in 1913 as
manager of some other club in the Ma
tional League. providing the abyss be-
tween himself and Murphy could not be
bridged. Judging from the dispatches
dated Cincinnati. "Husk'' has decided to
go through with the retirement.
The long-Listance telephone operating
between Chicago and Cincinnati was used
as the method of communication between
Chance and Hermann, according to the
dispatch, and magnate and manager are
said to have discussed every angle of the
race 1t is further reported that Murphy
encouraged Chance in the latter'S over
lures to the owner of the Reds.
1t is also reported that Chance, DUR
ing his conversation with Hermann,
asked the latter to negotiate only with
the view of buying his, Chances, release
outright. The veteran manager advised
Hermann to pay spot cash rather than
talk trade. for Chance holds the present
galaxy OF Red talent in high esteem.

Aggies Face Difficult Proposition.

The Maryland Agricultural College for
the next few weeks will 60 through the
most difficult part of its schedule. There
is little doubt that it will have an eX
ceedingly hard time of 1t to make the
right kind of showing against elevens

from 1t SO early in the season The
Farmers are compelled TO play three OF
the most important games in their sched-
ule within the next three weeks, and II
they emerge with victories the credit due
them will not be small.
Johns Hopkins will be played Saturday
in Baltimore. Just what that game is
when the Baltimore eleven got away with
such an exceptionally well played game
against the Navy. The Farmers would
appear to stand little show to beat a
team which can hold the Sailors to one
lone touchdown in forty minutes of play.
Johns Hopkins will probably present
much more experienced and heavier ag
gregation than that which will represent
the State College.
After the game with Hopkins the Ag-
gies will go against the University of
Maryland, which. it is reported. is repre-
sented by an aggregation Of stars. The
following week will come the most Inn
portant contest on the schedule. that
prove one Of the most difficult problems
on the schedule. The Farmers have not
won from the Annapolis eleven since
1906. and it begins to appear that they
are going to have an even harder time
this year than ever, since st. Johns won
from Franklin and Marshall by 10 to 0.
an eleven touted as being able to give the
larger schools a tussle.
OF course, the Aggies won by a large
margin the game In which they played
last Saturday. but, as was reported, 1t
was due more to the weakness OF the
Richmond outfit than 1t was to any excep-
tional strength on the part of the Farm
ers, though they played a very credit
able game.

WOOD THREATENED IN
ANONYMOUS LETTERS
Red Sox Pitcher Has Received
Half a Dozen Mailed in
New York City.

l. NEW YORK, October 7.-Anonymous
writers Of threatening letters are divided
into three classes-practical jokcrs, cow
ards and cranks. But nobody is able to
classify the writer's of half dozen letters
received during the past two weeks by
Joe Wood, the star pitcher of the Boston
Red Sox. Although the matter has been
kept a secret by the Boston management
and the players, it leaked out here yes
terday and was discussed by several
base ball men who know the facts and
say they have seen the letters.
Each missive bore a New York post
mark Two of them We're filled with
bad spelling and We're signed illegibly.
Another was written in red ink with a
knife and gun drawn at the bottom Of
the sheet of paper, it is said.
| "You will never live to pitch against
the Giants in the worlds series! We are
waiting to get you as soon as you arrive
in town." was one of the boldest threats.
"You better stay In Boston, where you
are safe among friends was another
warning
Look out for us. We're cunning for
your said third letter writer.
Wood didn't pay much attention to the
letters at first. but it is said that Presi-
though refusing to take action. Wood
is nervy youngster who fears nothing
and doesn't believe that harm will come
to him. In fact, he thinks the screeds
were mailed to him by jokesmiths who
possibly believe that they might work
upon his nerves. Maybe they were dol
lar bettors.
1t was said last night that to protect
the Boston players from annoyance by
cranks and the curious element a detec-
tive agency will provide s.euths. who will
accompany the men from their hotel
Breton Hall, at Broadway and S6th
street, to the Polo Grounds and back to
the 1a5th street station, where the spe-
cial train will be taken after tomorrow's s
game.
Usually the Red Sox have stopped at
hotel near Broadway and 10Th street. but
this plan has been abandoned because
the players desire to avoid the Whit,
Light district and the sporting element
The Giants, while in Boston, will stop at
the COpley Square Hotel.

Will GIVE PLAYERS
EASY WORK Today
Many Georgetown Men Stiff
After Saturdays Game With
Mount St. Mary's.

Only an easy workout will be given
the foot ball candidates at Georgetown
this afternoon, because several Of the
men are in a weak condition after the
game with Mount ST. Mary's Saturday.
Beginning tomorrow, all the men on
the squad will be worked hard. in antici-
patton of the game with Washington and
Lee next Saturday. 1t is realized by
the coaches at Georgetown that very
hard game is in store for the eleven
when it meets this southern team.
With Dave White on hand for practice
today, things loom up we'll on the hilltop
There is not a better defensive back on
the squad than White. 1t is the plan OF
the coaches to be exceedingly cautious
with White for the rest of the week,
using him only in light signal practice
BY Saturday 1t Is expected that he will
be in perfect shape for the game. With
White in at fullback, and Dunn, Costello
with the big fullback, the chances are
that some sensational backfield work will
be sprung by these men.
Dunn showed plainly Saturday that he
can be depended upon in Saturdays con-
test with Washington and Lee. The
fight for right halfback will be an inter
esting one. Murray also showed that he
must be considered when the selection OF
the men is finally made. Murray played
a fine game Saturday, and is one Of the
sensations Of the season.
An interesting fight for the end posi-
tions is looked for. In Derby. Bergin,
Van Brockline, Donnelly and Martin
Georgetown has fine ends who are the
best in the South. Bergin played fine ball
last year. and is again doing nice WORK.
Derby is one of the swiftest men on the
squad and is bound to give all the rest
Of the men a run for the position Van
Brockline is doing well, but has been
handicapped by injuries. At the present
time he has a large boil on his neck
which will most likely keep him out for a
few days.
Georgetown is coming slowly and pro-
crossing in manner which is wholly
pleasing to the coaches. The one game
that the Blue and Gray eleven is very
anxious to win is the one with the In
dians, and every effort is to be exerted to
win this game. Georgetown has good
chance this year. and it is realized that
only the hardest kind of work on the part
of the men must be done in order to de-
feat the Redskins.
