Giants Share of Worlds
Series Money Held Back
COMMISSION HOLDS
UP GIANTS SHARE
Until Show Their Newspaper Contracts Worlds
Series Losers Will Not Receive Their Portion Of Profits
From Annual Championship Contests

NEW YORK. Oct 13.-The Giants have
Yet to receive their losers share Of the
worlds series prize, the National Com
mission having held it up until the
player authors. Marquard, Meyers,
Mathewson, Demaree, and McGraw,
produce their newspaper contracts. and
proof is shown that they were entered
into before September q. 1t is expected
that those who contracted to lend their
names to newspapers after that date
will be fined for dfsobedience.
Though writer himself. Johnny
McGraw had much to say against the
practice.
II am against this player-author busi-
ness" said the Giants manager, ''and
always have opposed 1t. But when 1
found that many players were getting
easy money in this manner / naturally
concluded to get some myself. But 1t Is
all out of order, and the commission is
right in putting a stop to 1t.
Newspaper stories by ball players
cause trouble; when one player censures
another in print there Is a small-sized
riot. In one OF the stories last week
saw roast on Larry Mclean for drop
ping a pitched ball when a double steal
was in progress. As matter of fact
Mclean couldn't have thrown out the
man going to third because the latter
had a big start on the pitcher. 1t was
unfair, therefore, to place the blame on
Mclean, who caught and batted splend-
idly IN Chief Meyers place.
Meyers. in my opinion, is the best
catcher in the game, and there is no
doubt that his absence handicapped all
our pitchers, except Mathewson. But
there is no alibi for our defeat. We play
ed bad baseball and didn't have a chance
to beat the Athletics. / think Eddie
Collins Is the best all-around ball player

PLANK DENIES HE'S
GOING TO QUIT GAME
Connie Mack's Star Southpaw
Says He'll Be on Deck Again
Next Spring.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 13.-"Say. kill

Eddie Plank, Connie Mack's veteran
southpaw, today. III be there in the
spring again next year and III be pitch
ing my games in the 1914 worlds series.
TOO. I'm not going TO retire. Why, I've
just begun TO make a reputation. So
please kill that pipe
1t was announced Saturday night that
Plank contemplated retiring from base
ball in the heyday of his worlds series
glory. He had been slow about joining
the Athletics last spring and ii was
said that he meant now to end his
career. Now he denies this story en-
phatically.
Il did say something about quitting
last winter, but / haven't murmured
anything like that all this season." says
the wrinkled veteran. Il did intend to
quit last winter. but ! changed my mind
this spring when I found myself going

Huge Sums Spent When
Teams Fight for Title

Huge sums of money were spent at
the annual worlds series this year. 1t
is certain that Sc, $50 was taken in at
the gates in New York and Philadel-
phia. II is estimated that spectators
cleared 100000 more. Hotels in the two
cities are believed to have taken $50 go
during the week. The railroads took
in close to 100000. mary special trains
from the South. West. and New Eng
land being added to the regular scheG-
ules.
TaAicabs reaped 4 harvest in New
York. 1t is estimated that $4,000 was
spent in this way every day. with
$1,000 going t. the street railroads OF
the two cities. Theatcrs benefited to
the tune of 81 coo or so, with stores
rraping 5000 or s30OO
II IS impossible to estimate the
amount of money changing hands Gu
wagers, but $4,000 would hardly cover
1t.

with the worlds series a matter OF
mere history, the baseball world no"
turns to the approaching major league
meetings at New York. 1t is expected
that Ban Johnson will have his league
hold its sessions at the Waldorf next
December, the 1912 meeting proving
complete fizzle out in Chicago. Inc
Johnsonians seldom provide much hre-
works. and so got no advertisement IN
Chicago with the annual pyrotechnics
filing the air in New York.
Furthermore, the dissatisfaction over
the worlds series of 1913 may bring up
Garry Herrmann's interleague plan
again, and this will call for frequent
conferences between the larger leagues.
Herrmann's scheme does away with the
present system of having the pennant
winners meet In a short series. 1t has
both leagues play for two months to-
sether. the team with the best inter-
league average being declared the
champion. Many believe that not
enough interest would be engendered
with such a scheme, while others think
interest would be increased. AT any
rate. this suggestion is certain to come
before the two dig leagues HeAt beNSi
Der for consideration.
The failure of the Philadelphia 1ans
TO support the series Is also causing
much wonder in baseball. At the games
PLAYED in Shibe Park the attendance
was around 10000. though many games
during the season attracted more Iahs.
1t is probable that, II the present
worlds series system is retained, some
method will be devised whereby fans
from other cities than those of the
pennant- winning clubs will be cared Tor
in the matter of tickets.
Washington would have sent many
fans to Philadelphia-yes, and to New
York-had it been possible to get tickets
by mail. The order cutting off mail
orders kept Capital City fans right
here, and, doubtless, had at least come
thing to do with the attendance IN
Philadelphia.
But before the winter meetings of the
big leagues comes the sailing of the
baseball worlds tourists for their ex-
cursion of instruction for the benighted
natives of distant lands. The two
clubs, wearing the uniforms of the New
York Giants and the Chicago White
Sox, will gather in Chicago. Octboer is,
and depart on a tour of this country
before sailing from Vancouver on No

CHANGES IN BEREA'S TEACHING
FORCE

The close of the school year will
witness several important changes in
the working force OF Berea College.
Mr.. lmrie retires from the Tutor
ship OF English In the Academy, al
ter three years effective service and
will be succeeded by MIR. Arthur S.
Hancock, recent graduate Of Wesley
an University OF Middlctown, Conn.
Miss Parker retires from the position
OF Teacher OF Cooking In the Vocation
al Schools after year OF good work.
and will be succeeded by Miss
Tyler, graduate of Wellesley
College and Cincinnati University
Important changes are indicated by
the retirement OF Dean Matheny from
the Academy and Dean Dinsmore
from the Normal. Both OF these men
have been long and prominently con-
nected with Beiea. and they will be
greatly missed. Dean Matheny was
himself n graduate of Berea College.
His future plans are not yet announc-
cd. Dean Dinsmore has not only been
a college worker. but prominent man
in business and politics. He goes to
an important position in connection
with the newly established Normal
School at Kent, Ohio.
These changes will be- noticed moro
fully later.
