i prepared as eligible for the forthcom-

played in 1911 who will not play on

of the fifteen players who fought for
New York in 1911 will fight for it
again in 1913. The absentees are
Ames and Devore, traded to Cincin-
natl, and Becker, released. The

| be, in large measure, a. contest be-
| tween the same men who engaged in
the series of 1911
| What these men did in 1911, their
past performances in the SIX games
of that series, are of unusual sfgn1-
hcance and bearing on the present
contest
The first game of the series of 1911
was played October IA on the Polo
Grounds scene of this years first en-
counter, before a crowd the like of
which had never seen baseball game
before. There were 1921 paid spec
tators. The day was brilliant, with
the tang of autumn in the air. When
the New York players trotted out onto
the field in their black uniforms, with
a touch of white here and there, they
were greeted with a roar of welcome
such as had never arisen in ball
park before. The Athletics, clad in
uniforms, were welcomed almost as
warmly.
On a diamond, s1eeked and groom
ed to perfection, the two teams play
ed 2 to game, New York scoring
the winning run in the seventh inning
when Meyers cIouted the ball to left
field for two bases and scored on De-
Vore's two-bagger. Mathewson and
Bender were the opposing pitchers.
The second game was played at
Philadelphia October 16- Marquard
took the slab for the Giants, Plank for
the Athletics Crandau suppIanted
Marquard in the eighth inning after
John Franklin Baker had lifted one
of Marquard'S curves in the seventh |
over the right field fence for a home

Park brings to mind that it is now
one hundred years since giuseppe
Verdi, the famous composer of Aida,
Rigoletto and Trovatore was born,
and it is with the idea, of celebrating
the Verdi Centenary that the grand
opera organization of Go notable art
lists and Symphony Orchestra of is is
touring New York and the New Eng
land states for two weeks. The mem
bers of the company have been re-
cruited from the forces Of the Metro

The sixth and last game was played
