Europeans Adopt Our
Methods to Trim Us

The prediction is made by J. w.
Spalding. vice president of the Amer
lean olympic committee, that Eu-
ropcan athletes viii give the United
States team a much harder and closer
battle for Olympic honors at Berlin
in 1916 than heretofore.
As a result of his observations
while abroad. he asserts that Ameri-
can track and field performers will
have TO compete up to the high stand
ard in previous meets if they are
to win the point trophies at the next
Olympic games.
Athletics are being put on an or
ganized basis in the leading countries
of Europe, and American methods
and trainers are rapidly bringing the
standards up to a point where they
compare favorably with those Of the
United States.

n MERICAs national game is
~ making marked progress in
Spain, and with the coming
worlds trip of the Giants and White
SoX, there is every indication of a
renewed interest in the game.
Leagues have been organized in
England Australia, Canada and ia
pan, and the progress made in King
Alfonso's dominion indicates a gen
eral tendency toward baseball
Spaniards are quick to embrace
any branch Of spcrt that carries the
element of keen excitement. With
the falling off in the interest in bull
fighting and the establishment Of
branch houses Of the leading Ameri-
can commercial firms the opportunity
for the introduction of baseball on a
firm basis appears encouraging.
Spanish athletes are quick on their
feet and sure Of stroke. Under the
auspices of King Alfonso polo is just
becoming popular, and the players
are beginning to show proficiency in
the sport
The introduction Of association
football was followed by the Organi-
cation of several teams and the Brit
ish style of football is now firmly es-
tablished. Other sports are finding
favor with the SpaniardS, and while
the latter have not mastered the in
side workings Of baseball they are
gradually awakening to the POSSIBLE
ties of the game
While a number of Spaniards have
played baseball, the best indication
of the future of the game is attend
ance at the games where two Amer
lean teams play, or where a native
nine engages with an American.
The spectators watch every move
in the game and ask innumerable
questions in order to familiarze
themselves with the details and rules.
Americans who are located in Spain
speak enthusiastically over the pros
poets and speak hopefully for the flu
ture
The country is admirably adapted
to ball playing, as there are many eX-
tensive plateaus ana broad. fiat level
tracts near the big cities In order to
utilize the soil TO its greatest advan-
taSe, tiers We're built one on top Of
another by the MOors, and these form
an attractive setting for the ball
grounds.

Pitchers Records,
Giants, as We note, have the

TIME Giants, as We note, have the
edge on their American League
arch rivals, the National Leag-
games. But coming down to the nu-
merical angle. the Athletics have
shown to better advantage when both
big series are combined. They out
number of runs and made less er-
rors.
There will never be another worlds
series like that of 1905, as regards
the scoring. Five games were con-
tested, and every one of them pro-
duced a string OF ciphers for the los
ing team. Four times the Athletics
were on the receptive end of the re
roes, while the Giants were treated to
q string of circles in one contest
Bender was the efficient moundman
for the Athletics in that notable vic
tory, which saved the Philadelphians
from complete rout and humiliation.
That series was remarkable mas
much as Mathewson, who is now at
the zenith of his pitching power
twirled three shut-Out victories. He
yielded only fourteen measly hits in
the entire three games, and never
once was he threatened with being
scored on. Matty's feat probably will
be unapprOaChed as long as worlds
series are the fad
Matty registered his fourth straight
victory over the Athletics in worlds
series strife at the outset Of the 1911
clash between these two teams. He
won the first game, beating the In
dian, Bender, but he allowed the
American Leaguers their only run in
the second inning. Up to this time
Matty had pitched % scoreleSs in
nings against his foes.
big Six" Is Unlucky.
Then fortune froWned on the big
fellow. He was well on his way to
his fifth successive triumph in the
third game of the series when Baker
stepped in with his renowned home
run in the ninth inning, tying the
score. The Athletics won out in the
eleventh Matty also started to pitch
the fourth game but a flock Of hits
and runs resulted in his second
straight defeat and his withdrawal
from the series.
That stOlid Redskin, Bender, shared
the calcium with Home Run" Baker
in the ARRAY of two years ago He
triumphed in the fourth game over
Matty, and made the championship
sinecure for the Quaker folks by out
pitching Ames, Wiltse and Marquard
in the sixth and final tilt of the Sc
ries.
Matty has been emnently success
full in worlds series games, and al
though he lost his greatest game in
last years decisive battle with the
Red Sox, he was proclaimed the real
hero Of the series.
This will be Matty's fourth appear
ance in the big series. He admits
that the inroads Of time are begin
ming to have their effect, but he will
not admit that Bender will show
superior brand of pitching when they
meet again. Bender VS. Matty for the
fourth time is not a all unlikely
when the Giants and Athletics meet
in the first game on October 6.

TIoN TO START BEHIND PENsA-

MANENT NAVY YARD.

I 4asae Jacksonville News editorialIy
nrges all West Florida to stand behind
tPensacola in the effort to get a per-
knancnt navy yard here. and in Tues
days issue the following appeared:
All OF West Florida should stand
EolidIy behind Pensacola in it's fight
Tor q craving dock ard a permanent
navy yard The development of PEN
sacola means the growth of West
Florida The two candidates Tor the
United states senate and the two can
didates for congress should be given
TO understand that a craving dock at
Pensacola is the paramount issue at
this time.
The temporary cuartering of ma
TlneS at Pensacola, to be moved at
will by an order OF the secretary of
the navy does not mean that the naval
station will be opened for any length
OF time. Even If the machinery is put
pOrary. But with a dock there work
done at Warrington. unless there Is a
craving dock at Pensacola the rehabi-
1itafion of the ward NAV be only tenn
porary. But with dock here work
would have to be sent to Pensacola
There was never any excuse for the
establishment OF a yard at Charleston.
Senator Tillman was told by the pen
ple of the Charleston district that he
must get ON the naval committee of
the senate and stay there He did So
and he opposed, in committee and on
the floor, every appropriation asked
for by the navy department until a
navy yard was opened at Charleston.
The congressman from West Florida,
whoever he may be. should be given
20 understand that he Is to secure q
place on the naval committee even If
NE secures no other committee APP
polutment. And df at any time his per-
hona1 ambitions lead him to believe
that something else is more import
amt. he should Immediately be given
the option of attending strictly to the
Pensacola navy yard proposition or
xsoming home.
What the Third district wants is a
craving dock which will insure per-
lmanent work at the Pensacola navy
yard and that dock must be secured at
amy cost
