THREE FAVORITES WIN.
Columbus Stake, However, Does Not
Go to Choice.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October PRO
nounced favorites in the three pacing
races on the Columbus Grand Circuit
program yesterday were winners but the
Columbus stake for EOS trotters did not
go to the favorite, Robert Milrot.
Cheney. the Texas mare. won 1t after
the first heat had been taken by the
four-year-old mare Rythmell. Each heat
was under 2.07, and the fastest was in
2.O5h. Rythmell was beaten down the
stretch in the second heat, and was dig
tanced in the third one.
Directum I and Frank Bogash, jr., did
not meet. though they were both eligible
to the Board Of Trade stake. The East
View PAGER won handily in straight
heats. His best time, 2O2h. was within
a quarter of a second Of his record.
Frank Bogash, jr.. was raced in the
Arch City stake. the feature Of which
was the contest for the place between
Del Rey and Foote Prince. In the final
heat Driver Murphy did not slow Frank
Bogash, jr., down nearing the finish, and
his PAGER took new mark, 2.02k.
Great Scott won the 2.16 pace in
straight heats. Driver George Kyger,
after placing Polly Ann twice, was un-
seated and the driving assigned to
Charles Valentine. After the change the
mare finished third, as the three-year-old
Homer Baughman rushed along the pole
and was second to Great Scott.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR
VIRGINIA LEAGUE
Billy Hannah of Norfolk Liked
by the Magnates and May
Get the Place.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special D1Sp2tcn TO Tue quar-
NORFOLK, Va, October 1.-When
the Virginia League of base ball clubs
holds it's annual meeting in Petersburg
next Tuesday to wind up the affairs Of
the 1913 season 1t is probable that whis-
perings Of a proposed change in the eX-
ecutive head of the organization will be
heard. The president Of the league Will
not be chosen at the meeting next Tues
day, but II is said that some OF the club
owners favor another man to guide the
destinies of the league in 1914, and that
they will talk the matter over with the
other club owners while they are to-
gether In Petersburg.
The opposition to j. 0. Boatwright. the
incumbent president of the league, Is not
due to his failure to handle the affairs OF
the league fmpartially, nor because he has
not used good judgment in settling mat
tiers that involved the welfare OF the or
ganizatiOn. The claim Is made, though
that Mr. Boatwright is not as well known
in the outside base ball world as a presi-
dent Of the Virginia League should be,
and that the man at the head OF the
league should give it his entire time and
attention. 1t Is the contention OF some
Of the club owners that such a man Is
needed for the position. and that the
Virginia League will not receive the rec
ognition it should receive from the high
er-clasS leagues until a man Well known
in the base ball world is elected presi-
dent
In connection with the presidency Of the
Virginia League Billy Hannah of Nor
folk is again prominently mentioned. 1t
is understood that the owners OF at least
two of the clubs have approached him
on the subject and have promised him
their support If he should become a can
didate for the position. Another club.
owner is inclined to favor the election of
Mr. Hannah, and. it is believed, will be
out and out for him before the meeting
for the selection of a president is held
early In January of next year. IL this
condition should prevail at the January
meeting, it Is believed that Mr.. Boat
wright would withdraw from the field
rather than have a deadlock. In such
event it Is known that a fourth club
owner stands ready to give Mr. Hannah
his backing. which would assure the
election of the Norfolk man.
Few young men in minor league base
ball have a. wider acquaintance among
or are more popular with big leaguel
than BILLY" Hannah. He
has met them all, has been entertained

READY TO SUPPORT
THE P[AyER-AUTH0RS
Base Ball Fraternity Would
Defy National Commission
in Worlds Series.

NEW YORK, October base bah
players who write articles for newspa-
pers on the coming worlds series will
have the support Of the Base Ball Play
ers' Fraternity. it was announced yes
terday by David L. Fultz. president Of
the organization. Fultz made a state
ment regarding the rule laid down by
the national commission prohibiting
writing on the championship games or
allowing their names to <be signed to
articles written by others.
1--WE do not pass upon the status Of
the player-author. as In our opinion that
matter rests entirely with the player
and the paper itself" said President
Fultz, referring to the fraternity's atti-
tude toward the national commission, s
rule. But if our support should be-
come necessary to enable one of our
members to carry out q contract which
he had perfect right to enter into, and
which another has entered into with him
in good faith, we would hack him up
to the limit
F'ultz characterized as absurd all
talk that the series would be called off
If players refused to heed the ban
against their efforts as writer's.
The attitude Of the players toward the
rule will be taken up Monday, when the
national commission meets here to COM
plete arrangements for the worlds series.
Officials of the New York club an
nounced that they have returned $4,000
to persons who sent the money to buy
tickets to the championship games. I'm
der the rules no mail orders for tickets
are to be honored and would-be pur-
chasers must await their turns at the
gates. The applications came from all
parts of the country, John B Foster

PHILADELPHIA. October 1.-Yester-
days double-header here resulted in an
even break, Philadelphia winning the first
game. 10 to 8, and Brooklyn the second,
3 to 1.
In the opening engagement Brooklyn
scored runs in the first inning. Rixey

runs had been scored and with the bases
filed. Chalmers then went to the rubber
and pitched to four batsmen, six runs
going over the plate and a man being
on third when Marshall went In One
more run was scored before the inning
closed. Philadelphia then began a great
uphill struggle and tied the score by
mixing three hits with two passes and
two errors in the eighth, and won in the
ninth inning wnen Burns doubled and
Knabe singled, scoring Reed, who ran
for Burns. Ragan pitched the entire
game for Brooklyn, while Marshall was

DOWN GOES CURTAIN
ON TENNIS SEASON
Bachelor Clubs Tourney Winds
Up With Harold Doyle and
Gore Winners in Doubles.

All things being equal, the more ex
perfenced always he's the advantage.
That this is true in tennis was demon
strated yesterday on the Bachelors
courts when Harold E. Doyle and Albert
J. Gore defeated Conrad B. Doyle and
Herbert Shannon In the final round OF
the twenty-fifth annual District cham
pionship tournament, this victory giving
them the title. Both Harold Z. Doyle
and Gore are experienced players. and
the same, of course may be said of
Connie but Shannon is comparatively
new at the game and this is the first
time he has ever played in final round.
As a result, while his game was gener-
ally good he fell down at critical stages
and nearly every siip-up charged against
him proved costly. The scores for the
match, which went the full FIVE sets,
were 49, e., 80 s16 and 6-3.
The feature Of the play was c. B.
Doyle's excellent all-round work. His
service was Of the best and his smashing
faultless. He scored seven aces through
out the match, three Of them coming in
one game. For the winners his brother
did much the better work. his forte be-
ing his good court generalship and his
volleying. He was quick as a flash and
used motion Of the wrist which made it
impossible TO anticipate which side Of the
court the ball would so. Both he and
Gore had alternate streaks Of good and
bad playing, however, and 1t was not
until the last two sets that they could
both settle down In unison.
This practically brings the tournament
to close, as there now remains but one
more match to be decided. This match
between Harry z. Burton and NJ NJ.
Trumbull for top-honors In the consola-
tions-was started yesterday, and called
on account of darkness after Burton had
won the first set, SO. The players APP
peared to be very evenly matched, and
some good tennis was shown. Burton IL
believed to be the better player and is
generally picked to win. s
The tournament was run of In very
business-like manner and Secretary Ar
thur HELEN and the tennis COMMITTEES
are receiving congratulations from all
sides on their good management Of this
big event. -

At the meeting to be held in Peters,
burg next Tuesday the report OF the
president for the 1913 season will be

1914 season will be talked over. The
pennant will be awarded to Peters
burg. and it is probable that the cir
cult for the next campaign will be
settled.
With the exception of Norfolk and
Roanoke, all of the clubs of the Vir-
ginia League have selected their man
ayers for 1914. Ray Ryan. former man.
ager of the Norfolk team, has been en-
gagged to replace Steve Grimm as the
leader of the Richmond Colts. Lee Gar
vim Will again be at the head of the
Portsmouth Pirates. and Harry Ma
thews will have charge of the New

certain that Henry Busch will be re-
engaged to pilot Petersburg to an

Norfolk club are looking for a capable
manager, and Roanoke is trying hard
to fill the shoes of DOC" Pressly, who
will retire from base ball.

the Clevelanders to wrest the honor from

remote. If the Nationals can win two

Lavan made a good STOP but could not

wild pitch helped him along, and Acosta
got single. which moved Henry up to
third. Moeller and Milan followed with
hits, which scored Henry.

inning. He did have two men on in the
