Wall Street Sports
Favor the Giants
In the World Series

Betting odds among Wall street
sports favor the Giants in the worlds
series. Among the freak bets was an
offer of $40 TO $50 that Mathewson
would pitch the first game for the
Giants.
Az the Giants won from the Dodgers
yesterday and the PhiIIies lost tc the
Rosions, the New York Nationals need
but one more game to cinch the PEN
uant.

high standard. Here is one player on
the Oakland lineup who is in the
game all the time
AS a result of collision it looks
as though Rube Gardner, the hard
working first sacker of the Oaks, will
be out of the game for a time. In the
day Roy Hit collided with Gardner.
The former was thrown to the ground
and rolled over two or three times.
Elmer Zacher- came in from center to
cover first while young Kaylor was
sent out to fill Zacher's place In the
outfield.
After pitching a masterly game
in the north yesterday Erve Higgin-
botham blew up in the eighth frame
and the Seals batted out a victory.
Three hits netted three runs, and the
Seals won out. Hub Pernoll. the dis
carded Oakland finger. pitched his
second victory for the Seals since he
Joined the club a short time ago.

AS a result of his mixup with Um-
pire Bush in the north, Harry Nc
Ardle has been suspended for the re-
mainder of the SERIES as well as suf-
fering a SIS fine.
The Tigers gained game and
half on the Beavers yesterday and
went into second place in the race.
They are seven games behind the
northerners and look to be hopelessly
out of it. However. Happy is lighting

weaken he will be right after them.

back. Hosp strated to play in the sec
ond game, but after going couple Of
innings he was forced to retire In
favor of Patsy O'Rourke. The latter is
hardly able to play himself. He has a
badly injured finger, but O'Rourke's
gameness always keeps him in the
game.
Sterrett, the clever receiver of the
Tigers. promises to quit baseball at
the end of the season. He is a civil
engineer and he is thinking seriously
of following his profession when the
season closes
The Angels gave Jack Lively one of
the finest maulings he has expe-

It looks as if President Frank
Leavitt wasted lot of time and good
money on his recent eastern trip
Already he has displayed two of the
players acquired while away from
home 1t looks as if he has been
slipped couple OF gold bricks by
the baseball sharps
When the St Louis Browns unload
ed Pitchers Harold Schwenk and
Stone on Leavitt and took his money
Tor the same, ii looks as II somebody
acquired money under false pretenses.
We have seen some lemons around this
section, and they have been foistered
under the good natured baseball pub
lie so often that really they have
heen getting used to them, but l don't
believe the fans are hardened enough
10 stand for the pair of lemons that
the Oakland club turned loose yes
terday.
The very fact of a class AA minor
league magnate going TO the st. Louis
Browns for ball players, alone, would
make IL appear that said magnate was
recruit and in need of seasoning
1t Is even money that the Portland
Coast league team can beat the
Browns, and the Oakland club ex-
poets to strengthen its club with the
castoffs of a club which is one point
from being in last place.
1t might be unfair TO criticise play
eTs who have had such little chance al
Stone and Schwenk, but the writer
will take his chances in predicting
that they will not do in this league
Stone has smile and patience, and
Schwenk, while he looks to have
some nice curves. has Gene Knapp
iashed TO the mast when it comes to
wildness. To get the ball over the
plate he has TO leave some of the
stuff off II, and then the boys wallop
it, so what are you going to do with
a fellow like this?
The fans saw two Of the worst
games OF the season yesterday, and
the Oaks have furnished many a
crude performance during the sea
son. Manager Mite, who is soon TO
experience the cleaver, looked on in
apparent contentment, while the
good patrons who gave UP their hard
cash had to suffer the ordeal.
President Leavitt, who sat in the
directors box. looked detected when
he saw the players he recently pur-
chased being made to look like a
couple of pitchers of the sand lot.
1t is rumored that Mite is in
wrong with the Oakland club and that
n is likely to be deposed as man
ger of the club as soon as Arthur
Devlin arrives here on October /.
When Mite failed to work In either
game yesterday afternoon the powers
behind the Oakland club were dissat-
isned 1t was figured that Schwenk
and Stone, while they came from a
big league club, are at the same time
xour7eesfers who need the advice of an
experienced catcher.
Mite allowed Daddy Rohrer to work
in the frs game and Kreitz TO per-
form in the second fracas. The Oak
land club manager has assumed an air
of Indifference which is not at all
popular with the patrons of the game.

FOOTBALL IS
WITH US
AGAIN
Harvard, Yale. Holy Cross,
Maine and Chicago All
Have Games

King Football is formally ushered
IL today with all the big eleveas in
action. In no case is q varsity team
called upon to face a dangerous ad
versary, although Princeton has been
looking with a little apprehension
toward the contest with Rutgers.
Pennsylvania. Yale and Harvard step
from practice to the actual playing
stage and every move of the players
will be duly weighed and discussed
for future reference. The games to-
day have another use. They give the
first good insight into the merits of
the 1919 playing rules.
x
Harvard starts her opening game
with five substitutes in the lineup. A
number OF the regulars arc on the
outs with college authorities and were
not included In the lineup. Among
them were #. b. Wilmington, Hard
wick and Wiiletts.
Yaie faces Holy Cross today with
totally different lineup from that
which faced Wesleyan Wednesday.
Captain Ketcham and Pendleton have
guards. Wilson Is at quarterback
aad Ainsworth at fullbeck.
After rurnore had been received at
Princeton and Rutgers, the old time
foe OF the Tigers. had made elabo-
rate preparations to humble the
orange and black this afternoon, Blu
menthal put his men through secret
practice.
The 1918 gridiron season began in
the middle west today with Minnesota
meeting South Dakota at Minneapo-
lis and Indiana clashing with De-
Pauw at Bloomington. Early season
thrills were looked for in both con-
tests. Other conference teams were
watching the performance of the Min
nesota and Indiana events. 1t was
admitted that no idea OF Minnesota's
strength will be cleaned from today's
game. Coach Williams has habit of
holding back at the first OF the season

strong Gopher team Is pitted against
the stronger conference teams.

He Minded a Little Bit.

Hans Christian andersen, the gentle fabultst, often dis played the caprices of loyable and sensitive child, whose floods of sunshine are followed by del uges of rain. George Brandes, the Dan 1sh critic, told this story of the soft hearted fairy tale writer:
 Andersen was child of the people and never, even in his old age, did he lose his wonderful childlike simplicity which, if 1t threw the glamour of fairy land over his creations, was neyerthe- less not without its amusing side.
 "'He was peculiarly sensitive to crit icism of any kind. One day in a cafe a friend noticed that he was reading i'm tentfy a spdteful criticism of hls work written by an unknown scribbler in newspaper of no account and said to him:
 "tsurely you don't mind what a newspaper like that may say about youP
 Anderson looked up, and the friend saw that tears were rolling down his cheeks.
 'Yes,' he said, hesitadngly, I do En1nd-1ust a little.'"

Keeping Up With Time.

The city chap who had hired out as extra farm hand during the harvest was not quite able to respond to the o'clock pounding on his bedroom door the first morning as promptly as he had anticipated. He fingered with the pillows for a quarter of an hour past the appointed time and then dragged himself out, and by half past he was stumbling across the field where the old farmer was hard at work.
 "Fine morning. said the newcomer briskly.

Button. and ,Nomen,s cIothea-

'EWhy does a woman button her gar ments on the left sideI" The question is discussed in the London Tailor and Cutter by several correspondents, one of whom advances this theory: ''For ladies to have the buttonhoIes in the right side of their garments has it's origin in the times when it was neces- sary for lady when going out at night to have a gentleman escort, who sup ported her upon his left arm, leaving his right or sword arm at liberty. Thus the Iady's left hand would be free to fasten or unRasten her cloak at her own pleasure and without in. convenience"

Mario, the famous tenor, was ex- cessively proud of his fine beard.

Mario refused to obey The emperor became angry It was in vain that the empress tried her arts of persuasion. Mario was in- flexible.

Charles V. of Spain, like Louis XVI. of France, was particularly fond of timepieces and had decided taste for mechanics. When in Germany he in- vented a carriage for his own accom- modat1on, and after his abdfcation he would amuse himself in making little puppets-soldiers performing their ex- ercise, girls dancing with their tam bourines and little wooden birds that would fly in and out of the window.

Raards and RattIea-

Shaggy locks and patriarchal boards have proved highly inconvenient things on the battlefield. Does not history record that Alexander ordered the MacedoniaRs to be shaved lest their boards should give a handle to their enemies?
