The preponderance OF strength OF the
Giants over the Athletics is more pro-
nounced behind the Dat than in any other
eepartment Of the game. The big Ind
ian, Meyers. who has never failed to pat
over 800 since ne became a member of the
Giants. and who has reached this mark In
two worlds series, gives more distinction

Philadelphia can boast
With Mclean, a better hitter than any
OF the Quaker trio. TO assist the Chlet
McGraw has the call by wide margin.
Besides these two there Is Arthur Wilson,
a man of much ability.
Connie Mack had pleasant surprise In
store for him this season, when he picked
I'D a comparatively green youngster by
the name of Schang and found him
CAPABLE Of jumping right In and doing
big part Of the receiving for the Athletics
during the American League campaign
The newcomer showed such rare SIKH
from the start that he became Mack's first
string man. The veteran Thomas vas
practically sidetracked while Lapp and
Schang divided up the work. These two
probably will be called upon TO DO the
bulk Of the catching in tho big series next
week. and while they may be almost on a
par with Meyers and Mclean IN catch
ing. their hitting is 50 light that the Of
fensive value is slight as compared 10 the
New York pair.

BLOW FOR ATHLETICS
ON EVE Of SERIES
Orr, First Substitute for the
Infield, Suffers a Broken
Hand.
SPIKED BY ROY HARTzELL
Yankees Score Ten Runs in the
First Game, but Lose
Tables Turned in a Short
Second Struggle.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-This was an I'M
fortunate day for the American League
champions, unfortunate because the
weather was too cold and blustery tor
their pitchers to get a good tuning up
for the worlds series and unfortunate
because Orr, the first substitute inf1elder'
had his right hand broken
Philadelphia defeated the Yankees In
the first game by a score OF 10 10 10, but
lost the second. which was called on ac-
count Of darkness at the end OF the sixth
inning by "A score of to !.
Orr's injury was received in the second
game, when he touched out Hartzell. VINO
tried to steal third base in the fourth
inning Hartzelrs spikes were driven into
Orrs hand and one of the bones was
fractured.
This was the second accident of the
series with New York. Schang. the catch

tip yesterday, but the latter injury is not
thought 10 be serious.
Eddie Plank and Shawkey. the pitchers
on whom Connie Mack is counting In the
worlds series, did not look particularly
good in the opening game. This how
ever probably was largely due to the
cold weather and the high wind which
swept over the field. thereby preventing
the twirlers from getting their arms well
warmed up.
Plank pitched three innings. and In the
second session was touched up for three
singles. which. with errors by Plank and
Collins. Melted the Yankees three runs.
Plank also gave two passes one each IN
the first and third innings.
Shawkey was in poor form and vas
taken out in the sixth inning. In his
first two innings he gave two passes "ni

York scored twice In the sixth inning.

single and two passes, with one out
Shawkey forced In two runners by giving
two more bases on balls lie was then
succeeded by BUSH. Another pass and
Holdens double gave New York three
more runs. After that Bush did fine
work.
Philadelphia victory was due 10 hard
hits. Including two home runs and two
doubles. were made by Philadelphia.
Caldwell gave a number of passes. ana
errors also counted in piling up runs.
The home runs were made by Eddie
Murphy and ollins. each player putting
the ball over the right field wall. The
high wind was an aid in making the
four baggers.
In the second game Connie Mack put
i'm a brand new team consisting OF
youngsters and Daley, Walsh and Davis.
Fisher held the home team down well.
and il was a single by Davis, an out
and double by Danny Murphy. who got
into the game after Orr was hurt. that

Wyckoff was wild and the Yankees hit
his delivery at the right time.

lightweight champion of Great Britain.
or. rather. with the promoters OF the
bout between the two In Vancouver, B. c.
on September 20.
II is an old story now Of how Richie
stopped payment on his forfeit check of
s.. 800 and departed for home, and how
Freddie Welsh did little shadow boxing
and claimed the lightweight title by de-
fsult
Richie is still very much the champion.
and his story of what developed into an
unfortunate hasco carries the ring OF
truth. lie had only good words for
Freddy Welsh. and said that he would be
glad to meet the English champion AT
any time or place provided reputaple
club would offer what he considers ialr
guarantee He added that he had not
responded to the many charges made that
he had run away from Welsh because he
feared To lose the title for the reason
that he felt that his friends and those
who had seen him box would not accept
them seriously. He said further:

According TO Richie. the articles OF

at least one clause. which called Tor the
guarantee OF $4,000 TO be paid by Il ceru-

fair enough to say that the promoter was

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON D. C. Ian %

Washington D. C. Jan. %, 1913.
An indication of what the trusts may
expect from the coming administration
is found in Mr.. Wilson's recommends
tons to the New Jersey Legislature.
His ideas, there given, are that cor
porations must not undersell in local
markets, issue watered stock, form
holding companies, own stock in other
corporations. or form combinations to
fix prices and eliminate competition.
He would have violators of such laws
punished by fine and imprisonment. He
thinks corporations should be allowed to
expand by the purchase of property
similar IN character where it would re-
move competition; but that they should
be allowed to consolidate only with the
permission OF a government utilities
commission.
We were assured today, by one who
is in position to know, that in the
pending revision of the tariff there will
be little change made in the rates on
cotton or lumber. This will no doubt be
welcome news to many in the West and
South, and we feel that it can be relied
upon.
Some of the evils of federal govern
ment of the District of Columbia are
seen in the long drawn-out investiga-
t;opc of iporropca nopopap;ac ord otba,
things now keeping the District Com
mittee OF the House so busy that it has
not had time to give to badly needed and
much desired Legislation for the National
Capital.
On recommendation of the Attorney
General the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will investigate the 5000, 900, 900
Telephone Trust to determine whether,
in the interest of the public, telegraph
or telephone monopoly should be tolerat-
ed, under rigid regulation by the Federal
Government, or whether the Govern
ment should take over and operate such
utilities, or, finally, whether competition
should be enforced, under the Sherman
law, and monopoly prohibited.
On Feb'y l, all federal disbursing
officials will have credit with the U. S.
Treasurer, at Washington, against
which they may draw checks. After
that date no disburslng officer will have
the custody or direct handling of gov
eminent money.
The time-honored inaugural ball,
which has in the past been a brilliant
feature Of Presidential inaugurations,
seems thing of the past. Mr. Wilson
suggests that an enormous popular
reception to be as simple as is con-
sistent with dignity and order. Per-
mission of both houses of Congress is
necessary to the holding of any function
in the Capitol or on the Capitol grounds;
but it is believed that this will be
readily granted. One thing that in
f1uenced the decision against the ball,
some think, may have been fear of the
horrible turkey trot land other objec-
