A famous tragedy of fifty years ago
was brought to the minds of some old
New Workers recently by court pro
ceeding involving the estate of a man
who made large fortune in the to-
bacco business here. The tobacconist
was the employer of Mary Rogers, a
beautiful girl, who was killed in Sibyl
Cove, near the Elysian Fields, in Ho-
boken: In those days "the fields" was
a resort similar to Coney Island, ex-
cept that it was much smaller. The
one hotel of the place, THE Shades"
a capacious colonial mansion, is said
to have been in its earlier days the
summer home of the first Astor. One
night man living near the place saw
three men carry a woman from "The
Shades" over toward the cove. The
next day there was much excitement
when it became known that Mary
Rogers had been murdered. The po-
lice never caught the men responsible
for the girls death. The crime is
likely never to be forgotten, since it
forms the basis of one of Edgar A.
Poes best romances.

PIRATES EASY PREY.
Falkenberg Holds Them to Pair of
Bingles and Cleveland Wins.

CLEVELAND, October Icy Falken-
berg held Pittsburgh to two hits in the
opening game of their post-season series
yesterday and Cleveland took the first
game, 3 to o.
With two out, in the second inning, Mil
Ter walked and Mitchell got the Pitts
burgh's first hit. a single to left. Gibson
then flied out.
In the sixth, with one out, Carey got
the visitors other hit, a single to center.
Dolan walked. but Hans Wagner hit into
a double play. Thereafter Pittsburgh
failed 20 get a man to first base.
In the first inning, Johnston's tumble
and a poor throw by Carisch enabled
Carey to reach second. Only one other
Pittsburgh runner got that far and none
reached third.
Cleveland got three hits in the first in
ming. but pretty throw by Dolan caught
Jackson at the plate. Adams kept Cleve-
lands hits scattered until the sixth, when
Jackson's single and Lajoie's long double
scored the first run.
In the seventh Cleveland scored two
more on Olson's single, Do1an's wild
throw of Graney's grounder and Wag-
ner's wild throw TO the plate on Falken-
berg's infield hit.
Only about 5000 fans turned out to see
the game. However, they saw a contest
worthy of a worlds series. Dolan, Chap
man, Wagner and Johnston all con-
tributed fine fielding stunts.

PLAYER WRITER'S GET
THEIR LAST CHANCE
Commission Decides It Will
Let Those Under Contract
Go Through With 1t.

NEW YORK, October 7-Base ball
players under contract to organized clubs
will not. be permitted to write for
newspapers after this year That was
the final decision handed down by the
national base ball commission after an
extended meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
yesterday morning. September II the
commission passed a rule prohibiting
members of the Giants and Athletics
from playing the role of reporters dur
ing the worlds series, with an intima-
ton that offenders would be either fined
or suspended.
President johnson of the American
League promptly notified Eddie Collins
and Frank Baker of the Athletics that II
they carried out their alleged agreements
with newspapers during the coming series
they would be barred from the games.
Mr.. johnson stuck to this policy up to
the time that he attended yesterdays
meeting. An hour before he called up
Mack on the Ions distance telephone and
assured him again that II Collins and
Baker allowed their names to appear
over articles in Wednesdays newspapers
they would have to remain on the bench
the rest Of the series. In reply Mack
informed the American League president
that the players would cancel their agree
ments forthwith and give their entire at
tention to base ball.
When Mr.. johnson took up the matter
with Chairman August Hermann and
President T. j. Lynch of the National
League at noon he learned that the
National League had taken no action in
the matter. He expressed his surprise
and was informed by Mr.. Hermann that
certain members of the Giants were sup
posed to be under contract to write: for
various publications and that these con-
tracts had been made prior to the pas
sage of the commission rule on Septem-
Der q. Mr.. Hermann set forth the ar
gument that II these contracts could be
produced and proved to be bona fide there
was nothing left for the commission to
do but to permit the players to go ahead
'.But let it be understood" Continued
Mr.. Hermann. that after this series
ends the commissions rule will be en-
forced to the letter, not only relating to
worlds series. but to the entire baseball
season Of 1914. II these players can con-
vince the commission that they are legally
into their agreements before the commits
sion acted there Is no ground for compell-
inS them to stop, and doubt. II in some
cases there will be any penalty. but II
there are no contracts and players per-
sist In violating the commissions rule
during the coming games they Will be
suspended"
IT heartily concur with Mr.. Herrmann's
views" said Mr.. johnson. land am pre-
pared to say that will retract my orders
to Mack in regard to Collins and Baker,
for it would not be fair to discipline them
if the National League players are per-
mitted to live up to their alleged con-
tracts But this business Of reporting
ball games by ball players is a fake and
a farce 1t harms the sport and causes

LITTLE Betting DONE
No Real Dope to Guide Big
Bettors.
MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS
About the Only Money Laid on the
Giants or Athletics Has Been
Placed by the Fans.
MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS

NEW YORK, October with the first
game Of the worlds series clash between
the Giants and the Athletics on. there
exists among the professional betting fra
ternity a greater degree of uncertainty as
to how to lay their wagers than has ever
before characterized a meeting between
the pennant winners Of the rival major
leagues.
In Philadelphia, of course. the radical
Athletics rooter is betting on the home
team at whatever odds he can get: the
New York fans are backing the Giants
in similar fashion. But the professional
gamblers, the men who wager hundreds
Of thousands of dollars annually on the
outcome Of the base ball classic, are up
In the air.
In other years they have been guided
largely by the base ball dope" They
weighed the batting, fielding and pitching
strength of the contending teams accord
ing to their performances during the reg
ular season, and then plunged on the
team that "dOped' out stronger.
But in those other years the dope
has gone wrong. Star players who were
expected to lead their teams in both Of
fensive and defensive playing were thor
ough disappointments. Mediocre players,
rible havoc. The uncertainties, the Pc
culiar twists of base ball. wedged their
way into the battles and upset practical
ly every calculation.
So far no big bets have been registered.
The gamblers are jockeying. They want
odds one way or the other. but no offers
of better than even money have so far
been made. The gambling element is
trying to drive the odds to 10 to 8. not
caring which team Is on the big end. but
their efforts so far have been fruitless.
AS is the case each year. the base ball
"dopesters' are burning the midnight
oil and using up huge quantities of lead
pencils in an effort to figure out by the
law of average which team ought to win.
The Philadelphia 'dopesters' figure the
Athletics will turn the trick; the Giant
"dopesters' are sure the Giants will win.
The impartial "dopesters'' are just about
equally divided in their opinion.
The Athletics have a big edge on the
Giants in "doped" batting strength; the
Giants have a pitching staf that the i'm
partial "dopesters'' claim is 40 per cent
stronger than that OF the Athletics. In
fielding the Athletics rank a little high
err. In base running the Giants are a
little faster. And there you are.

internal dissension. Players are hired to
perform on the diamond and they are
literally paid for their services. They
will be compelled In future to stick to
their profession, and after this year no
excuses will tie accepted"
Eddie Collins, by the way, notified Ban
johnson yesterday that he would be very
glad to visit the headquarters of the COM
mission after each game and write his
report In person. Collins said he did not
regular reporter, and there is a reason.
Collins was graduated from Columbia I'm
the class of 1907, with the degree of
lege records will show that he specialized
In English literature. AS freshman he
was required to take course in English
composition three times a week. and in
his second year he studied English criti-
cism and brief writing. In his last year
he had course in English literature of
the pre- Victorian period. In all, Collins
made twenty-six of the 120 points re-
Quired for his degree. in English. and his
marks in other courses were all well
above the average. Mathewson is grad
uate Of Bucknell College. while Chief
Meyers attended Dartmouth before he be-
came a professional ball player.
The Base ball Writers Association of
America received permission to app ONT
an official scorer, who will work In con-
junction with the commissions scorers
for the worlds series-Frank Richter Of
the Sporting" Life and Taylor Sphinx Of
the Sporting News. who were appointed
last week.
