ship. He was meeting all-comers in
Philadelphia and getting away with
them successfully. but all the while
his peace of mind was destroyed by
fellow named Monahan. How he
jibed Monahan, and how he finally
got the best of him, Corbett tells in
his most captivating manner Gen
tleman Jim" also told story on
Bob Fitzsimmons last night. 1t had
to do with Carson City and the solar
picks blow, in which Corbett gets
all the worst of the yarn, as well
he did the famous punch. Fitz en-
joyed the tale and joined in the
applause afterward
G
Corbett is one of the greatest base
ball fans on earth He wouldn't miss
worlds series nohow If he could
help it. This year he is going
to see the Giants and the
Athletics play. he says, but he
doesn't know just which team to bet
on. His friend is McGraw and he
would like to see the Giants win, but
he says it is too close a proposition for
him to pick. Like all the others, Cor
bitt will tell you the Giants have the
pitchers and the Athletics have the
players.
1--WE refused to work during the
worlds series, although my booking
bett said. Generally 1 take a chance
to win out my salary or else make
1t doubly expensive for me. Not so, l
guess, though, this year. I'm going
| to lay low, although things may crop
up that will influence me later on. OF
course, the Giants are my favorites.
but Pm a great fellow to always let
the best man win"

The former champion looks better
than he has In years. He is some

The Athletics have won the Amer
lean League pennant and the Giants
have all but won the National League
pennant. So worlds series gossip, for
one and for the other, will soon be in
order. Although there are to be only
two teams in the race, you don't find
anybody making any cocksure pre-
dictions. The dope looks, 1t seems, to
most of the experts in about the same
| light. The Athletics have the ball
team, but the Giants have the
pitchers. Can the players stop the
pitchers, or can the pitchers stop the
batters? That appears to be the
question all along the line. The
Mackmen are supposed to be there
strong in the field, and also at the
bat, but they haven't any pitchers.
The Giants are said to be only fair in
the field, erratic at the bat, but
strong as you make them in the
pitchers box, That's the situation,
almost everybody will admit, still you
are not able to reach out and grab In
the winner just like that.

Francis Ouimet, the new open golf
champion, is to be wined and dined
and have his salary raised. Besides
these few things, young Ouimet is
the topic of discussion throughout
the world where golf is played. Over
In England they are inclined to give
him credit, yet the champion OF
Great Britain confesses 1t is 'humili-
ating," meaning the defeat, of course
of Vordan and Ray, the Englishmen
outside of that, though, everything Is
supposed to be all right.
