SCHULTZ HARD ON BATS.
Breaks 50 of Them in One Season, Ac.
 eerding to Reports.

Frank Schultz, the heavy hitting out fielder of the Chicago Cubs, breaks 50 bats a year, it is said, so that this particular home run hitter is some thing more than a mere fence breaker. The bats he uses are of ash, well sea- soned, with an unusually small grip, so small, indeed, that his fellow play CTS are apt to look with scorn upon his private woodpile. Small grips are rather uncommon, although some of the best batsmen the game has seen used them, notably Cy Seymour when he was at his best. Cy had small pair of hands. which interfered with his work as pitcher, but not as batter and outf1elder. Cy was the cornerstone of that famous Cincinnati outfield of years ago which was made up of Seymour, Mike Donlin ana Cosy Dolan. These men were terrors in pinch and they used varied as- sortment of bats, from the slender stick affected by Seymour to the black pole wielded by Donlin.
 Dan Brouthers used to say that the bat made little difference s9long as it was comfortable. and so long as Its owner looked upon 1t with something akin to affection. It might well be added that the style of the batter sometimes has little to do with his hitting, whether it be the choke ef- feet invented by Willie Keeler or the crouch that was Sam Crawford's stock in trade. Young players make the mistake of copying the style of some great batter and of using a club that is as nearly a replica of the great ones as possible.
 It used to be said of Larry Lajoie that he could Init the ball mile with toothpick," and of Hans Wagner, whose real name is John, that he was not particular about the fail he used so loEg as he could get ball off the shoulder. As a matter of fact, most of the hard hitters make their long drives from balls that would not have been strikes had they been allowed to go to the catcher Unless one stands fairly we'll back from the plate it Is difficult to get the shoulders into a drive made from a perfectly pitched ball. As a rule, the heavy hitters are not bat breakers, and in this respec' Schultz's record is peculiar. He must catch the ball across the grain much of the time.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
 REACHES FINALS
Miss Curtis and Mrs. R. H. Barlow to
 Meet for Title.

Manchester, Mass, Oct. 4-The east vanquished the west at golf today in the semi-finals of the national woman's championship, when Miss Margaret Curtis of Boston defeated Miss Kath- erine Mellus of Los Angeles by 1 up, and Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow of Phila- delphia won from Miss Grace Semple of St. Louis by five up and four to play.
 Whether Miss Curtis. who won the championship last year at Baltusrol, would defend her title to morrow was uncertain tonight. Before play began today she suffered painful accident to her right hand. which all but lost her the match with Miss Mellus. With the hand bandaged so that two fingers and thumb were free, Miss Curtis played a pluclSy game, although top- ping and slicing frequently, especially in the first nine holes.

BOTH TEAMS IN FINE CONDITION
Only Slightest of Injuries in Red Sox and Giant Lneups
 Betting Now Evened Up-Marquard Shows Great Form Against Brooklyn-Season Closes in East Today.

New York, Oct. o4.-The closing of the major league baseball season in the east tomorrow will find the two championship teams in the pink of physical condition for the world se- ries, with the exception of two minor injuries. which have placed some of the Boston enthusiasts on the anxious seat. Fear that Captain Doyle of the New York Giants might not be able to play at his best because of an akle which was slightly spiked yesterday, is groundlcss. Doyle played through out the gamertoday in usual form. All the other men in the Giants camp are ready for the fray.
 The possibility of either. Gardner or Carrigan of Boston being kept out of the early games has had a slight ef- feet in betting odds here, evening up the wagers where Boston had been slight favorite, but New York en- 'thusiasts expect to see both men in the opener, though perhaps not at their not wholly mended.
 With the trial of Marquard today, probably all of the first division pitch- CTS of the Giants have had their last work out before the worlds series opens at the Polo grounds on Tues day. Mathewson, the old mainstay of the Giants box, has had the longest rest of any,, for he has not been in a game since a week ago yesterday, when the pennant was clinched.
 McGraw was highly pleased with Marquard's showing today against Brooklyn. He pitched five strong inn ings. holding Brooklyn scoreless with two scattered hits. The subsequent loss of the game came when Witlse and Amee, two. of the relief box men were put in and eight runs scored off them.
 The last game of the Giants season at old Washington park, Brooklyn, to- morrow, win incidentally mark the passing of that place as a scene of big league baseball games. The Brooklyn club opens next year on Ebbets field, where large modern stadium is be- ing built.

Young Thomas, who is not likely to be given chance to play in the series, has Jagged four men and his throws have been beaten eight times.
