The Umpire Wrong.
There is little satisfaction in seeing
great plays Of the world series repro
duced on the screen, for they go past
so fast that the average fan fails to
get the picture IN mind until 1t has

The Crowd Is Interesting.
IL IS the crowd that is one Of the
most interesting spectacles at the
world series, as shown on the moving
picture screen. The big concrete grand
stand at the Polo grounds, with its
highly decorative front is shown
crowded to capacity with humanity,
bands are playing in front on the lawn

and stretches in the seventh inning, ac-
cording to ironbOund big league Gus

their disappointment plainly when the
opposing side is gaining and beat it
home as soon as the last play is made,
as all ball crowds do, without thought
for the players or the box score.
Many Celebrities.
Baseball celebrities, moving picture
heroes, prize fight champions and
actors are pictured before the camera
with the Polo grounds as a setting.
There is nothing in history to compare
with scenes like those at the world

is question that must be determined
by John J. McGraw next spring, when
he settles the playing status Of Davy
Robertson.
Reports from the south at the con
clusion of the Southern association
campaign this year were to the effect
that Davy's left arm had recovered its
pitching cunning and that he was
demonstrating in practice that he could
buzz the ball through with all the
speed that made him one Of the most
desired youngsters of his time.
This report is confirmed by Mike
Finn, who had Davy with him on the
Mobile club. While Finn did not use
