YOUTH PREDOMINATES IN
 CIANTS-RED S0x SERIES Joe Wood Is Only 22 Years Old and Jeff
 Tesreau Is 23

that while Joe Wood on form might master and overpower any man Mo Graw might send against him, Tes- real, Matth ewson or ManQuard were likely to upset Collins, O'Brien and Bedierrt and thereby put il llp to the Smokey Joe to win the deciding game at the end.
 It is sg,enerally conceded among the unbiased that Boston has the edge on general form. Tesreau, MarQuard and Ma,thewson may pitch to the top of their form where nothing short of a smashing, rushing attack could beat them down.
 But why worry over these details now with the two clubs harneSSed for the fray and within few short hours the first flash will inform sixty to nine ty millions of pop-eyed fanatics what has occurred in the jump game.
 Another great feature now interest ing the populace at large is the name of the 1912 worlds series heroine sun kissed athletes who will string Mathewson. Babe Adams, Jack Coombs and Frank Baker-luninaries of other worldwide campaigns He may be Yerkess a Murray. an O'Brien or a Devore. And then again, form may run to the finish and he may be a Speaker, a Wood or a Doyle. series which may continue at the heights or topple to the indigo abyss below. For Wood or Speaker may cap the climax of their year-or have the lllstre blown off in the start-off.
 The same is true of Doyle, Ma,th- ewson or other Giant stars of 1911.
 It is a. noticeable incident that, in this series, the two predominat1ng hg- ures are working in the lineup of youth. Joe Wood is only 22 and Tes- reau has just ticloed off his 23rd year. The Tesreau romanee is notable one in a notable game. Three months ago, he was almost 1lnknown-a big, raw recruit jlst out of the underbrush with, but little experience. And yet, today, he stands as the main hope of his people in a. fight for the worlds championship
 Three months ago, f1uddfed up on the bench he sat and watched Math- ewson carry off the headlines Today, to Tesreau than to either of those who held the spotlight through mid- July.
 Beyond the pitchers, no two other as Doyle and Speaker the two slash ing swatsrnen picked as the most val uable workers of pennant flying year Both are 1eft-handed, are fast and both will fight to the finish in clash of this type Speaker does his best often to drift along and take it easy when not under pressure. And it is at a crisis of this sort that Doyle comes forward as one of the most rep utable ball players in the game.
 179,851 fans saw the series of 1911. If this series goes to six games, the count will f1artter along the 100000 line, all attendance records ever set. This detail was shown in the size of the advance guard which gath- yond this, there is nothing to report until the kick-off boonas, the bras sic crashes into the hill and the tires begin to careen along the course.

LUTHER M'CARTY
 WILL GET CHANCE
SHOWING WITH AL KAUFMAN WILL DETERMINE HIS WHITE
 HOPE POSSIBILITIES.

If Luther McCarty can pass with honors the critical examination of the fans the Pacific coast when he lines up for battle against Al KaIIf- man at San Francisco on Discovery Day afternoon he can make his stand ing as a white hope secure Californ- lans are probably the most exactins critics of boxing in the world They and 1t takes good man to obtain much credit out there. Many Ealst- erners who have made the trip have found this out to their cost.
 McCarty has already begun training for the bout and so far has impressed the critics favorably. They admire his size and physical construction al- though some doubts have been ex- pressed as to his tactics while engaged in knocking about his sparring part ners. The version that reached the coast of his bouth here was most favorable one, and he is expected to make good. Considerable interest is being evinced in the bout Out there search for a capable white heavy weight is just als keen as in the east and hopes that McCarty will fill the bill are being expressed all sides
 If McCarty is successful in polishing off Kaufman he will be asked to tackle Jim Flynn in his next contest. Rumblings of a desire to annihilat te the white hope crop emerge from the Flynn camp from time to time Flynn showed that he is still a capable great by the manner in which he dis posed of Charlie Miller. Miller was was the leading hope on the coast, and since his defeat there has been man. The coming of McCarty is there fore has stirred things up in Frisco as far as heavy-weights are concerned. As Flynn is not any too popular Me Carty will not lack roOterS, provided he shows any sings of class in his match with Kaufman.

LARRY GARDNER'S
 HAND BOUND UP
REID SOx THIRD EASTMAN STARTS CRIPPLED AND AN OTHER BLOW WILL
 FINISH HIM.

New York, Oct S-The last hours before the big baseball battle, today,
 between the Giants and Red Sox found
 the American League champions rest
 ing quietly in an uptown hotel where
 they spent the night. Only one Red
 Sox regular isn't fit. Larry Gardner, the star third baseman will grip the ball with his first and second fingers and thumb when he shoots it across the field to Manager Stah1. His third finger, split and almost broken at the first joint, four weeks tgo, is band aged and taped to the little finger.
 Gardner will be able to play his reg ular place but his teammates say an- other rap on the same spot would
 put the hand out of commission. r-y
 There was no sign of over-anxfety assem bled at the Polo Grounds, be- hind closed gates, this morning, for the final talk The National League champions had their last workout. Monday afternoon. MeGraw hadn't said who will pitch but it was con- sidered a safe bet that Matty would

The national commission ] met, this morning, with representa- tives of both teams and unpires and the final instructions were given The umpires are to stop boisterous coach ing and remarks calculated to upset the boise of the players. A heavy fine will be given for the first offense and for the second offense banishment from the series will be the penalty.
 The Giants will have all the best of the roofing in the opening battle.
 Giant fans are great rooters and they
 are primed for the big series. But
 Boston will not be without the loyal

PHILLIPS JOLT
 ATHLETICS 8 TO 4
HACK COoNBs KNOCKED OUT WHEN HIT BY PITCHED
 BALL.

Philadelphia, Oct s.-The PhiIlies and Athletics started their own little Worlds Series oyesterday in Shibe Park. the National Leaguers landing the first internecine strife by a score of 8 to 1.
 The Phillies owed their victory to long swats. Of their twelve ssfeties six were for extra bases. Dolan led with a pair of triples, Paskert made triple and double and Walsh and DooIan each made a double.
 powerful pitching of Moore after he succeeded Alexander in the box in the first half of the fifth, did the busi- ness
 With Alexander and Coombs sent in to oppose each other, there was an indication of pitching battle. but neither twirler went the limit. The Athletics, who in the spring series of 1910 and 1911 had failed to score a run off Alexander, jumped on him savagely for eight hits in four innings four runs being scored. Then Manager Dooin pulled his star out and sent Moore to the mount. Ebby was effect ice. permitting only five scattered hits
 Moore's entrance into the game was unfortunate for Coombs, for while batting in the sixth the Colby boy balls in the back of the head. The ball caught CoombS squarely and the big pitcher fell unconscious to the ground. It was several minutes be- fore he recovered, and he then had 10 be helped from the field. This brought Brown into the game, and he and Crabbe, who finished. were tar gets for the Phillies.
 The National Leaguers went into the game apparently handicapped by the absence of knabe and Lobert. but 1t was largely the work of tbeir s11h- stitutes, DolaR and Walsh. that beaf the Athletics Between them this nair of utility m&n drove in or scored five runs Dolan also made two brilliant plays

 New York. Oct s.-The charge ot the night brigade is over. The storm :ng legion which bra.ved a driving gale and gathered under the cold gray stars at midnight, to lay sefge Ito the polo tunstiles, Is either through the gates and over the walls or else repulsed with frightfuI slaughter.
 There are cheers for those who reached the happy haven of as seat and tears for those who fell almost within reach of the greenspun field the non-combatants to the ernbattled fines striving for the cha ampionshlp Of balloons world-for the throne which the great Maclkian machine vas forced to abdicate after a two two years reign
 New York has come back to chal- is1ge again-but the powerful Boston machine nas battered the Philadelphia legion from the paths for the honor of representing the American league in it's attempt to wrest off it's third successive championship just as Chi eazo and PittSburg did for che na- tionel circuit in 1907, 1908 and 1909.
 History has repeated itself in an un- , expected way In 1907 and 1908 the Chicago Cubs won the National league title and the worlds series crown In 1909. to the surprise of the experts, the burg attached the third straight cham pio1lship win for the National league.
 No one figured that old Cub machine could be beaten. The same thought surrounded the Athletics They won in 1910 and 1911 the championship of 2 their own league and all civilized spots, only to fall unexpectedly as did the Cubs before one of their own feaEue rivals.
 New York enters the series. this year, with a better ball club than she dashed in vain against the Athletics A better ball club by the addition of Tezreau to the pitching staff and by another years experience.
 Whether or not Boston will show stronger front than the Manhattan men remains to be seen Regardless of this. the Red Sox are poised upon championship with a powerful club strong ta attack through the flashing of many deadly bludge0ns, strong in defense through one of the greatest slabznen who ever tore off a strike out in the crists of baettle. But this portion of the dope Is now past history No angle of compari- son has been left beyond inspection and the throngs which started for the park this afternoon, were involved mainly in discussions as to whether Mccsraw would send in Mathewson or Tesreau against the redoubtable Wood k=d mingled with the discussion buzz of gossip as to how long the series would likely run In this re- spect both New York and Boston crit ics-not including the more partisan were alike. Both figured it was not onfv likely to extend the six games of 1909. showed tendencies of a. seven game hurly-burly where the last few rounds might decide the issue.

National League; O'Louhklfn and Evans. of the American League. New York, Oct. S.-It was generally regarded as a case of "shut your eyes and take your choice when the New met e this is afternoon 1o to play the opening game of the 1912 Worlds Champion ship Series. Experts who had been figuring on the comparative strength of the two teams since 1t became ap- parent weeks ago that they would fight for the title, arrived at the con- clus1on finally that only two points ton of a favorite. One point of van tage was allotted to each team. The Giants possessed the confidence gain ed by participation in last years worlds series. The Red Sox were favored because they outgamed the Giant-killing Athletics through a long, points. there was thought to be little choice, the two teams generally being regarded as evenly matched.

The Giants. according to averages, possessed su- perior hitting, base-running and SCOT ing ability, and the Red Sox, accord ing to averages, were stronger aheld but the difference between the two was in each instance hardly apprecia- ble. Boston fans, for instance con- tend, when Giants superiority in bat ting average is mentioned, that the Red Sox were up against better pitch ing than the Giants encountered. A more satisfactory method of compari- son was found in a close scrutiny, Of the play of individual mem bers of the teams.
 Here again an even break resulted Carrigan, of Boston. is usually rated 8 better backstop than Big Chief Meyers, but Cady, who invariably catches when Smoky Joe Wood works, is not valued as highly. A balance obtains there. Wood and Matty, speed and skill, were thought to be about evenly matched. Collina. thought not so brilliant as Marquard, was regarded as more steady and re- liable. Bedient, like Tesreau. spit ball pitcher, was thought to be more seasoned if not so flashy as Big Jeff.
 Merkle and Doyle, at first and sec- ond, were conceded to be as much ner and Gardner were reckoned su-. Boston infield as a whole was thought to possess greater defensi strep gth being steadier than the Giant four, and the quartet being more smooth ly working machine.

FOR THANKSGIVING
Eight Carloads Shipped Out
of Phoenix Will Sell
ar Top Prices

PHOENIX. Ariz., Nov. 23.-Three
carloads Of oranges were shipped
to the eastern markets Monday by
the Arizona Orange association.
This makes eight carloads that the
association has shipped to date.
Carload shipments will continue to
go forward at the rate of about
one a day until the 5th or 10th OF
December.
This means that Arizona oranges
will reach the markets before
Thanksgiving and be sold at the
very top prices. It also means that
the last of the crop viii reach the
markets before Christmas. All in
dIcatIons are that the growers will
realize big profits from their crop,
Never before have Arizona or
anges been on the market in time
for Thanksgiving and never before
have they all been marketed be
fore Christmas. This year they viii
beat all competitors and the average
prices received will probably be
quite high. 1t is by no emans i'm

RICHARDSON IS OUT
70 WIN LAND OFFICE
Casa Grande Editor Claims
TO Be Original Wilson
Man in Arizona


TUCSON, Ariz,. Nov. 23.-Evans
T. Richardson, former editor of the
Casa Grande Times, is one original
Wilson man who is avowedly out
for the United States land office
job in Arizona, and he is in Tucson
partly in the interest of that effort.
His petition, which he says viii be
not long but strong. will be pre-
pared within a few days.
Richardson is president of the
Princeton association in Arizona, a
Princeton graduate of the class of
IS, took an interest in the organi-
cation of the Wilson clubs in Ari-
IONA, and has the acquaintance of
the president-elect.
He believes a somewhat formid-
able opponent for the land office
appointment will be Col Thomas f.
Weedin, editor of the Florence
Blade-Tribune, former legislator, and
for many years a wheelhorse of
Arizona democracy. 1t is under
stood that Senator Mark Smith will
favor Col Weedin's application.
Congressman Carl Hayden is said
not to take an active interest one
way or another in the matter The
position of Senator Ashurst is un'
known.
