GOLD STRIKE ON THE ANDREW
SMITH is IMPORTANT.

The excitement attending the recent
developments at the Royal Flush did
not have time to subside before atten-
ton was again directed to Hahn's
Peak by a big gold strike made by
Andrew Smith on the north side and
over toward Little Red Park. | blaZed

shoulder of the peak from the Royal
Flush to the Andrew Smith property,
and spent little time with Mr.. Smith
and his hard-working wife, who, by the
way, has been assisting her husband in
the actual mining operations.
Andrew Smith owns a ranch on the
road to Three Forks, but he has had
the gold fever for many years, and it's
said has mortgaged his ranch that he
might dig for the stuff which would
make him wealthier and in short time
if he could but strike it right. With
his wife, he has worked hard and
faithfully, enduring privations togeth-
er, but from what l saw and learned
they have their reward in what looks
like a bonanza. The old German and
his Swedish wife received us hospita-
bly,, incidentally refreshing us after our
hard climb with homemade cider,
brewed of dried apples and yeast.
The Andrew Smith properties here
have been pretty well burrowed with
tunnels and open cuts, and shaft put
down to a depth of Sc feet. The shaft
cut an ore body, which was 26 feet on
its dip, and the material is so solid

bother himself much about whether
his find is in place-at least. not for

in sight, and which should yield into
the tens of thousands. 1t looks like
permanent find, If we are to judge
by the solid character and splendid ap-
pearance of the rock, and certainly the
values should please the most particu-
lar. Here's luck to you, Andrew Smith,

think that am safe in saying that
the Andrew Smith strike is the most
important gold strike made on the
peak, and it should have an important
bearing upon future operations, as well
as proving a great insentive for further
serious work over in that section.

RED SOx INFIELD IS NOW
 SENSATION OF BIC SERIES
GrantIand Rice Says Boston Stars Have it
 on Connie MaCk's Combination

! Fletcher. playing as he did. Thurs day and Friday, would have given Mathewson a to i victory over Col
 lins and these two .slabmen are card ed to work, today, unless Stahl switches the battle plan Fy pushing Hugh Beddent to the front for try out. If MathewSon fails, Manhattan's s outlook is about as cheerful as a ftl- neral.
 Outside of J. Wood.
 Stahl, so far, has been able to win only with Wood and Smokey Joe is beginning to show the strain. He was careening badly. yesterday, when 1ein1e Wagner swung in beside him with the greatest inf1eld play any series ever saw.
 Taking no credit from wood, if it hadn't been for Wagner's super bril- on the miraculo ous-the Giant attack would have nicked Joe for at least 12 hits and from to runs.
 Back to the Pitchers
 Now that both teams have settled into steady form-pIaying safely and it gets back finally to the pitchers. Stahl as we remarked before. has shown one winner in Wood. Tesreau has stumbled because Wood was steadier, but McGraw has shown Mathewson and Marquard a better pair than any others from the Red
 As great a pitcher as Wood is Col lins, Redient or O'Brien must be able to win at least one game and possi- the Giants must beat Wood at some stage of the game and in behalf of Smoke-bal1 Joe, we are willing to state that he has yet to pitch a game true to his American League form.
 He has won but he hasn't been at his best If Mathewson wins his bat tie, Wood must show surer flash of that the Rube has tasted gore In this respect. Marquard is a good deal like the Nubian Lion of yore. One taste of gore gives him quite an ap- petite and he is much tougher citi- zen to deal with than if beaten. It is the Rube's same confidence now which carried him along his record run and must be counted one of the vital factors of the serfes-a more dangerous man than either Mathewson or Tesreau who looked to be New York's sole hope at the start of the series Unless the dope goes badly awry, Boston will find this wry- necked sideWheeler, the hardest man of the melee to beat. Marquard con hdent and Marquard on the run are two entirely detached souls without a single though in common. And Mar | on the run.
 The Red Sox Infeld
 Professor Mack displayed quite a cluster of infield talent when he en- tered the world series, last fall. but nothing of the type shown by Stahl's 1 inner set. The Boston outf1eld was touted as the main hope Of the team but it has fallen to the Boston in | field, Wagner and Yerkes leading. to push the Red hosed troopers out in l front. This field quartet has run | down s4 chances out. of 96 starts and the two lone pebbles were excusable. l And out of the 94 about 30 were soul | lifting episodes, which figure largely | in the final count.
 The Giants have outhit their rivals l in out of the 4 games played but . the ranging power of Boston's infield 1 defense has broken up more than one | Giant assault on it's way to victory.
 And those who wonder why Nc Graw left Fletcher in might obtain l the answer from a glance at the scores.

TENNIS CHAMP
 M'LOUGHLIN IS
 POOR MAYS SON

Boston, Oct. 12-Maurice E. Mc- Longhlin, the son of a workingman, recently won the national champion ship in a game supposed to be exclu- sively for the idle rich"-tennis.
 So far is known Mclaughlin is the youngest tennis champion this country has ever had. He is twenty two years old and has been playing thought he had chance for the championship until about four years ago Since then he has plugged for it consistently and the title fell to him at the recent national tournament at Newport when he defeated Wallace F. Johnson.
 Mclaughlin won every match he en- tered. He took the western champion ship, the New York state champion ship, the national championship and the Longwood challenge cup In ad- dition he and Bundy won the national title in doubles, the New York state and the Southamption doubles. These tournaments are the most important
 Personally Mclaughlin is quiet. modest and red-headed. His father is an enploye in the Uuited States mint in San Francisco, and on week days the champion tennis player works in a real estate office. Tennis is only his recrea tion
 Although he hobnobs with wealth it has not made him snobbish. He doesn't smoke cigarettes, drink cock tails or try to impress you with his importance. He never forces the fact upon you that he is champ" he is more apt to tell you about the strokes and ''drives'' and ''vol1eyS'' of some other player than to discuss his own feats, and his praise of others is sincere.
 Good tennis players are born" says Mclaughlin Tt might be call ed a talent4 Improvement comes to any player With practice, but unless he has born ability he will never be- come a really great player
 Ut is impossible to lay down any set of rules to govern a players meth cd because no two players have the same system. A mans stroke express es his individuality. By constant practice each stroke is improved until the proper technique is acquired And each stroke is put into practice in- stinctively in the various plays in the game.
 Speed, accuracy and endurance are important factors in the game, but the biggest thing is anticipating the play of your opponent. Know where he is going to put sthe ball even before he hits it. This is instinct, intuition or whatever you want to call it. It is the thing that is born in a tennis player which practice has improved to such a point.

PRINCETON TRYING TO
 STING TICKET SCALPERS

Princeton, Oct. Predetermined in it's efforts to keep the tickets for the so- called "big games'' out of the hands of sca1pers, the Princeton University football management has announced that all purchasers of tickets must sign contracts not to sell their paste boards at a, profit or to strangers
 Hitherto there has been a verbal agreement between the purchaser and the management that the tickets will not be resold. but as this system has not prevented the specu1ators from getting possession of a considerab ble number of tickets, the new policy was adopted.
 The majority of the pasteboards are allotted on the application blank sys- tenn, and, as each ticket is numbered. seats for either the Ya1e-Princeton or Harvard-Princeton battles can be tra- ced back to the original owners. If any are found in the hands of specu- lators, the original applicant will be blacklisted and debarred from apply ing for seats for future games.

Encouraged by their great record of victories on the baseball diamond, the Yost boys have decided to go after gridiron honors. Manager Tom Keenan has signed up a bunch of husky gridiron warriors and they will have their first practice tomorrow morning at Yost field.
 Mccormick, the crack catcher of the Yost team, who was a star line man while at Villa Nova, will coach the eleven and will also play. Bousko, better known as John S1am-the-Door. will be a candidate for center and they say he is just as good with the pigskin as he is when he gets in there roofing at Newleld park.
 Eddie Casey, another Villa Nova star, will be with the Yosts as will Eddie Reilly ,who was a wonder with the old Acorns- Ralph Hurd. the B. H. $. crack, will take care of one end and Shorty Norris, the baseball play CT, will hold down the other.
 Abbott of the Thun nderboltS, NOonan, Fritz, formerly with Springfield High school and Hallopin of East Bridge port are also out. Manager Keenan thinks he has two good players in Barry and Kacherowski.
 The first game will probably be played October 20. Manager Keenan is now looking around for games and matches with the Washington Glee club and Annex team of New Haven will probably be played.

Columbus, Oct 12-Whilst none of we groundlings care to quarrel in any manner with the wave of temperance which Charles Murphy-the bull moose of major league baseba1I-has set rolling adown the corridors, of time, there are those of us who have slipped into the congregation and are sitting in the back pews next to the door, listening to the choir, who would like to slip into the pastors ques tion box a few sirnp enquiries

 It is always much easier to get folks to follow in good ways than it narrow path. At least one of the ma gnates has spoken about the large quantity of booze spilled and inhaled by some of those high in power in our national game, and there have been underground tales of leaders of baseball being knocked downstairs at an eastern hotel for interrupting pri- vate dinners while the 'mags'' were in more Or less spifflicated conditions.
 If total abstinence is to become one of the flaming stars to guide the path way of the baseball player why not make it the flaming arc for some of for the duck is also alleged to be more or less benefcient for the guin- ca hen; so let's have no privileged class in our baseball, far as adding to the profits of the gin singers It seems to be up to the nnagnates to set such a splendid example af water wagOnism that the ball players will simply be compelled to fall in behind the bell cows s-joyously-singing the song of the bubbling brook and the clear, cold water of the neither days.

 The Battle in Boston.
 The Red Sox obtained the jump again but the Giants now have their main charges left Mathewson looks to be a better bet than any slabman that Stahl has outside of Wood and if the old master can wrench off to- days battle, the tale of the two cities will bring us to Chapter $, all square. and the tall likelihood of Rube Mar quard hooking up with Smokey Joe back in New York.
 There have been too many sudden turns in this series to figure anything certain until the last ciannny athlete has perished fin the last round of the last game. It's anybody's series still, the edge on any Giant pitcher Friday, Mathewson or Marquard was equally tipped to have the call over any con- tender Stahl might have left.
 It may be that J. Garland can pick Collins or Bedient in a winning mood. But the Giant defense has settled now into its normal swing and with Mathewson pitching there'Il be hard ly any array of six runs piled up against his well known name.
 Where the Edge Rests.
 The Red Sox now carry the edge in games won-which is considerable edge at this stage of the job. But the Giants undoubtedly carry the edge in pitchers left for the next bat tie. if we are to judge by the dope alone and not by some unexpected turn
 The Giants looked like quite an other ball club with Art Fletcher back at his true stride and now that he has gamely recovered his grip, it isn't likely that he will break again
