Georges Carpenter, whom Papke defeated.
was really the champion, as Papae did
not make the stipulated weight, but when
Carpenter refused to further make the
middleweight limit, the title reverted to
Papke, although admitting that he was
overweight. In that case. then. cyclone
Johnny Thompson has a real claim to
the title. for he defeated Papke in Aus
tralia over the twenty-round route; and
made 15S pounds ringside, which Papke
failed to do. Therefore Papke has 10
claim to the title whatever-that is, the
American title-and until he makes the
weight and defeats McGoorty or Frank
Klaus, both claimants of the champion
ing to note that Carpenter comes out and
announces that he is no longer middle
weight and cannot make the weight. Fol-
lowing the declarations of all these near
champions comes Jack Dillon, the Hoosier
middleweight. with a claim for recogni-
ton and challenge to meet any one of
them over the marathon route, especially
Klaus and McGoorty. Jack has fought
both of them and knows their game. He
also offers to fight Mike Gibbons at 154
pounds, and post big forfeit to make
the weight. Jack expects to get on with
either McGoorty or Gibbons in the east,
but he prefers the longer distance.
but only one has shown the goods in the
boxing game and that one is Oscar Bat
ting Nelson, the ex-champion. Bat has
gone through many a grueling contest
and it was supposed he was through two
years ago; in fact, l stated at that time
that it was too bad he did not retire and
.et the fans remember him as the great
fighting Dane instead Of permitting the
second and third raters to land him
after he was all in. However. the only
Battler has had numerous fights since
then and has taken good care of himself
and now he comes back again and picks
one of the toughest boys in the country
to meet-Matty Baldwin-the contest be-
ing scheduled for Boston in two weeks.
Nelson might have picked some easier
game, but in Baldwin he has very
near lightweight champion. II Bat Is
beaten he no doubt intends to go down
before good man.
Probably some OF the critics will give
Johnny Kilbane credit for, having
punch of some kind now. knowing that
he handed Tommy Dugan the knockout
tap at Johnstown, Pa, the other night.
Reports say that Dugan gave Johnny a
hard fight until the fourth round, when
the Cleveland lad put over real knock
out with his right and Tommy went to
sleep for a minute or more. Kilbane has
been of the same mind as Abe Attell-if
he could win on points he was satisfied
and never tried for a knockout where he
did not have to. But the critics claimed
Johnny had no punch at all and he prob
ably wanted to prove that they were mis-
taken.

RIGGS PREP WINS.
Defeats Alexandra High School By
Score of z to O.

ALEXANDRIA, November 2.-With a
little too much wind blowing across the
gridiron to assure the hooters of the pig
skin that their punts would be success
full. the teams representing Alexandria
High School and the Riggs Prep met
on Garrison Field this afternoon. The
latter won by to 0. On the kick off
Riggs received the ball and rushed it to
its opponents 5-yard line, only to lose
it on downs. Then the Alexandria High
School boys rushed the ball to the 30-yard
line. where it was lost by the Riggs
Prep boys taking a brace and showing
their superiority.
From the first five minutes of play till
the third quarter the ball was zigzagged
back and forth. UP and down the field.
In the first quarter of, the second half
Tilton caught the ball on an attempted
forward pass by Alexandria High and,
lodging the whole team, ran seventy
yards for a touchdown. Bullock kicked
an easy goal. Curtin and Walls starred
for the high school boys. while Tflton.
Bullock and Remsburg held UP the
standard of the Prep school.

was his great catch of a line drive from
iris Speakers bat that prevented Boston
from capturing the tie game. Thus it
can be seen that Merkle and Snodgrass
are victims of circumstances. Their
good plays have been entirely forgotten
in the final costly misplays.
Obliged to Be Cautious.
Managers and ball players will freely
admit that less inside play is attempted
in big series than during the season. A
game lost in seven is much more costly
than one defeat in season of 154 games.
Attempting to pull something out of the
ordinary, the taking of long chances, the
doing the unexpected are the proper ca
per during the season. Undoubtedly they
would be equally successful in a short
series, but it seems managers fear such
tactics. Instead of playing their regular
style, throwing caution to the wind, the
teams play careful game. regarding one
run with delight, when several would re-
suit if they adopted their regular sys-
tenn. Not until the series stood three to
one did Manager McGraw do things.
Then he adopted slam bang tactics. with
orders to run wild on the bases. The re-
suit was two victories. an evening up of
the series, and a near rout of the Red
Sox who appeared to have the Ntle won.
Undoubtedly the winners and losers
share makes a big difference in the play
of the teams. If the athletes could only
forget all about the money considera tion
a better class Of ball would certainly .e
the result.

inside bali is all bunk in short series.
Base ball dope usually counts for little
or nothing. Such statements may seem
rather strange at first reading. If you
attended the recent worlds series you
would regard them as perfectly fitting
and proper.
Like all other big series. the 1912 clash
furnished it's surprises and disappoint-
ments- After delving deeply into the dope,
and carefully scanning all the averages
available. certain players were picked as
the shining lights. others We're labeled
as only mediocre, while some were point
ed out as being away below champion
ship class. Mighty few of the athletes
ran true to form. Many of the stars fall
ed to deliver. while a number of the
players rated as only mediocre stood out
as the brilliant performers in the base
ball classic.
1.-The great Mathewson is all in. while
the sensational Marquard will not be able
to go the route were opinions freely ex-
pressed prior to the start of the series.
When McGraw failed to start Matty in
the opening game. as has always been his
custom, it was belieyed the inside dope
on the "Old Master" was correct. Yet
no player in the series stood out so promi-
inently as the wonderful MathewSon.
Although he failed to win a single game
in three starts. suffering two defeats and
a tie. his pitching performance was easily
the feature On the other hand, the
much abused Mr.. Marquard came through
with two victories in two starts. No one
will deny that his 2-to-1 victory over
Buck OBrien at Boston was brilliant
effort.
Bedient's Work Surprise.
Who thought before the start of the
series that Hugh Bedient Boston's kid,
pitcher, would prove the savior Of the
Red Sox? No one gave this youngster
any rating to speak of before the teams
met While not. belittling his ability, 1t
was feared his inexperience would keep
Stahl from starting him in game. I'm
that Manager Stahl call upon the youth
full recruit Twice he was pitted against
the peerless Matty-enough in itself to
take the heart out Of even the seasoned
veteran. Not once did Bedient waver
under the handicap. but came through
with two grandly pitched games Be-
dent must go down in base ball history
as the real surprise and big star of the
Giant-Red Sox clash.
Hooper, Cady. Herzog and a few others,
who while looked upon as mighty valu-
able men, were not picked by the critics
to cut up, yet each one of these players
uncorked brand of ball that no star
in the country could have bettered. All
Of which merely goes to show that base
ball dope, or inside information. is a
mighty poor thing to bank on in a ball
game Which always brings me back to

Save Games as Well as Lose Them.

Just now Messrs. Snodgrass and Merkle
of the New York team are coming in for
all kinds Of censure because of misplays
in the tenth inning of the final game
that really decided the outcome of the
series True, these two players did err
grievously, and very unfortunately for
them the last impression sticks with fan
dom.
Fandom connects the name of Snod-
grass with only that last muff His won
derful catch of certain home run drive
off Wagner in the sixth game of the Sc
ries at the Polo Grounds has been en-
tirely forgotten. 1t was one of the great
est catches I ever saw. and undoubtedly
was the turning point in the game There
is little doubt but what Boston would
have won had that ball got away from
Snodgrass. That game would have de-
cfded the series. Thus Snodgrass by his
great catch prolonged the series and
made 1t possible for him to make the err
ror for which he is being SO severely CEN
sured 1t was Merkle's hitting that fig
ured in several of the Giant victories II

Spectators Expect Too Much.
People usually expect too much of the
teams in the worlds series. Since both
must be pennant winners in their re-
spective leagues to get the right to play
for the big title. fandom expects them to
play alright ball, to do everything as
it should be done. to be constantly pull
ing some trick from the book of inside
base ball. Anticipating such things. the
fans are usually doomed to keen disap-
pointment. The worlds series games
are like any other game, only sometimes
a little worse.
1t is questionable If ever more ex-
citing game was played than the to 6
tie, in the second clash of the series.

good ball furnished the thrills for the
spectators. That evening / happened to

something little bit different, some

That is the impression that large ma

up to the anticipations. II fandom could
but regard them as they do the ordinary

would not be SO severe on the athletes
for misplays that are determining factors
in the result.
