tho Arcadians OF the Arcade League. 1t

ord Of 513. None Of the other teams
was able to reach the 500 mark
The best individual score was made by
Hollidge. rolling for Berberich's of the
Commercial League, when he averaged
1O6 for the set. Had Hollidge maintained
the standard in his last game that he did
in his first two he would have finished
with a much higher average He rolled
H. in the first game, then made 116 in
the second. but fell off to 80 In his third.
Watson Of the Arcadians, in the Arcade
League. had the next highest individual
ayerage-1O. Others who made good
marks were Hanger of the Laborites,
with 1902; Bittinger of the Contenders Of
the District League, and Farrow of the
Resolutes of the same circuit. The first
mentioned knocked down 1Ol, the latter
100 Farrow also had the distinction Of
rolling the highest game of the evening.

Boehmq VIII Try to Cnch Second Place for Nationals Today
OPINIONS ON THE
WORLDS SERIES

Here are some opinions that
may comfort the Athletic or
Giant fans, a. the case may bet
Clark Grimth, manager Of the
WashinGtonss "My team, with
johnson, Boehling and Groom
pitching, could beat the Giants
best four In seven, yet we were
eaten up by the Athletics this
year."
John Evers, manager of the
Cubs, "The Giants will win. Nc
Graw has four first-class pitchers
and Mack has only two. The Ath-
letics' big hitters won't cut much
of a figure"
Hugh Jennings. manager of tho
DetrOits: dts an even thing.
The Giants are stronger than peO-
PIE generally believe"
Half a dozen members of the
Boston Red Sox: "Nothing to 1t
hut the Athletics. They'll Outhit
the Giants and make more runs.
Mack can win without Bender or
Plank. il necessary"
Fred Clarke of the Piratesi 81
think the Giants, IL they get the
breaks, will get the money. They
know how to fight when It's up
to them. McGraw's pitchers will
tell the tnle.''
William Evans. American
League umpire: 'sThe Giants are
strong, but the Athletics are
stronger. Mack has other great
pitchers besides Bender and
Plank, who arc as good as ever,
Bill DahIen of the BrOokIynss
otis toss up. Luck will play a
leading part in the SERIES"
Ty Cobb of the Tigers: 81 have
an idea the Giants will cop this
time. They ought to have won
last year. McGraw has a splen-
didly balanced team. IL he gets
his share of the breaks 1 believe
he'll come out ON top. Hut the
Athletics may fool me-"
Manager Doom of the PhiIIfes:
'The Giants Will win because
the Athletics cannot hit Me.
Graw's Big Four. Bender and
Plank can't stand more than one
game each"

Kansas City Youth Leads Champion
for Pocket Billiard Title.

NEW YORK, October 2.-Benny Allen
Of Kansas City took the first block of 100
points last night from Alfred De ORC, tho
worlds champion, i'm their 60O-ball match
for the pocket billiard title The score
was: Allen 100; De Orc. 14s Aliens
high run was s. while De Oro's best was
a a. The former made one scratch and
the latter two.
Allen, who is only twenty-three Years
old. played a remarkably cool, steady
game, with little of the sensational in his
shots, while De Orc electrified the spec
tators several times with brilliant gather
and combination play. DE Orc, however.
appeared nervous and not at his best.
Twice during last nights game Allen was
80 points behind the champion. but his
consistent form gave him the victory.
The second block of 2O0 points will be
PLAYED tonight.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Connie Mack is said to be skeptical
about his pitchers in the worlds series.
Mack has never been an optiInist and
there are more reasons for his being
doubtful this year than ever before. 1t
is but natural that he should be of the
opinion that he has but two pitchers,
Bender and Plank, that he can rely upon.
and even they will have to show before
he can feel certain about them. Two
pitchers may not be enough to ward on
the Giants, and he naturally does not
know Just how any of his youngsters Will
act in a set OF games as important as
those of next week.
1t is generally conceded that on paper
McGraW appears TO have the better or
the pitching situation, and yet the fact
should not be overlooked that his pitchers
will be up against better hitting team
when they face the Athletics than any
team In the National League. On the
other hand. the Giants are not hard
hitting proposition, as their standing of
fifth in team batting in the old league
would indicate. Therefore, the work of
Bender and Plank will not be near as
difficult as that Of the Giants pitchers
who are to face one of the best hitting
teams that base ball has ever produced.
But 1t Is not at all surprising that
Mack Is skeptical He has always been
that
Quite lot of stress is laid on the fact
that on paper the Giants catcherS seem
to have something on those of the Ath-
letics and yet if the dope on the games
played by these teams two years ago
counts for anything, they We're exactly
even so far as Dase running WAS concerned,
Though the Giants were touted Is

pilfered but four sacks In that worlds
serieS-iust exactly as many SO did the
Athletics 1t will be recalled that the
failure of the Giants to run tho bases
at will was a disappointment TO their
followers. Mack's men stopped them. and
the chances are that they are even better
fortified now than at that time. Thomas
and Lapp We're the catchers two years
have a splendid helpmate in Schang, who
is probably the equal, if not the superior,
of both
Eddie Collins is out with a statement
that though he had signed a contract to
write descriptions of the worlds series
games for set of newspapers before
the commission had made any ruling.
he was perfectly willing to cancel
that contract il the commission objected
to the players filing the scribe position
Collins shows the proper spirit in taking
this stand The national commission has
done much for base ball and the ball
players. Since it's organization the play
ers have shared in the worlds series re-
ceipts and have been protected i'm every
way possible. Organized base ball has
been put on a sound footing largely by
the commission, and it's rulings are all
for the best interests of the game. Col
Inns statement shows him to be unselfsh.
He is willing to sacrifice a few hundred
dollars IL it is for the best interest of
the game in the opinion of the commits
sion.
There will be quite number Of clashes
between American and National League
teams next week aside from the worlds
series. The two Chicago teams will bat

Over in st. Louis the two teams which
will probably wind up the two major
league races Will get together, SO that
there will be some interesting series in
many parts Of the country.
The two Boston teams were to have
met in a final set OF games, but these
were called Off because several of the
stars of both teams are out Of the game
with injuries.

ONE VICTORY OVER RED SOX
WILL CINCH SECOND PLACE
Boehhng to Be Sent Against Team Today
Which Has Not Defeated Him
This Season.:

sure to improve with every game from
this out
Dan Moeller went into yesterdays game
with a badly bruised thumb, the result
of being hit by a batted ball in practice.
He played half of the game and then
gave way to Gedeoon. Milan did not play
at all. Shanks being in center, but Zeb
broke in as a pinch hitter for Bentley in
the eighth when he struck out.
Carruthers. who in the two previous
games looked rather weak at the bat,
found Bentley just to his liking, getting
three clean hits off his delivery, one
of which was a double.
1t is more than likely that Walter
Johnson will be pitched in the final game
of the season here. Saturday. 1t was
Johnson who opened the season and he
will probably also close it. If he works
in the game Saturday he will have a
chance to bring his string of victories
up to thirty-seven against the seven
which he has lost.
1t was not until the fourth inning that
the Nationals We're able to get hit off
Bohen. Then Acosta singled. Moeller's
out moved him to second and, after Foster
had popped up. Gandil got life on
F'ritz's error which sent Acosta to third.
On an attempted double steal Acosta
was nailed at tie plate.
The visitors had Il chance in the second,
which Carruthers opened with Il double.
but Bentley held the succeeding batsmen
in check.
Again, in the fifth Bentley was in trou-
Bile, for he started the round by hitting
Fritz. CarrutherS came through with a
hit Fritz was caught trying to steal
third. and a moment later Ainsmith threw
out Carruthers trying to steal second, and
Bentley was out of the hole.
In the sixth. with one out Walsh was
walked and a wild pitch moved him up.
Fritz flied out, but Carruthers got a hit,
which Foster could not handle, but Walsh
was held on third, where he died when
Bentley threw out Brickley at first.
In the eighth the Nationals scored the
run which gave them the game. Ain
smith started the round with a single
and went to third when Shanks doubled
into the same field. Mcbride and Milan,
however. struck out, and when Bohen
made a wild pitch while Acosta was at
bat Ainsmfth ran home with the only run
of the game. The score:
