shattered these predictions, though he is
the first of the pitchers ever to get real
consideration
The car will be presented to the great
pitcher on either the Polo Grounds or

with the Yankees during the past few
days failed 10 give any correct line on
Mack's team. The champions were
beaten two games out of three, and IL
was noticeable that every one OF the
pitchers used by them was hit rather
hard. II may be, of course. that these
pitchers did not let themselves out and
were hit harder than they would have
been had anything been at stake. But

All prophesies that a pitcher would
never reach were fractured in the run
away of Walter Johnson. while Jake
Daubert was an easy National winner,
and was given place on the ballot 81
every voting commissioner.
Last year Johnson ranked third on the
American list, while Daubert was tenth
on the National. Eleven of the twenty
three National League players who were
voted for last season received no votes
this year. while ten of the twenty-four
players of the American League who
were voted for last season were not on
the list this season.
The honor which goes to Walter John
son was won by Ty Cobb and Frank
Schulte in 1911 and iris Speaker and
Larry Doyle in 1912. This is the third
year of the trophy presentation, and
johnson leads all former successful play
ers by the number of points he scored,
The opinion that johnson was the most
valuable player to his team was almost
unanimous among the members of the
Chalmers trophy commission. and that
Johnson would lead the list of players
was foregone conclusion when the votes

Manager Mack received a Letter from
President Johnson OF the American

or permitted the use of their names to
articles during the worlds series.
'T think" said Mr.. Mack. that Presl-

fore he gave out his interview in Chi

write for the newspapers ii they

Should such a contingency arise as
the barring of Baker and Collins the
chances are that Lavau would go to
second base and Oldring. who was
originally third baseman. would take
Bakers place.

No Real Base Ball.
OF course there wasn't any real base
ball The Bostons presented a patched-up
array and made little effort to win. al
though the game was almost forced on
them in the ninth when they hit Ain
smith Gedeon and Schaefer for six
runs which came within one of tying
the score. Half of the time the out
fielders were playing in the infield. and
sometimes the feeders were playing with
their backs to the batter. There was
some good hitting which was mostly
made possible by the hstlessness of the
feeders. But then no one went there

fled the several thousands who lventured
into the Enclosure for the purpose OF
saving goodbye to the players.
r'or a few innings the players seemed
serious, but when the Nationals mad
gained what looked like a comfortable
lead the farce began, and 1t was con-
tinued to the end.
Griffith had seventeen of his men In
the lineup. and several of these played
several positions. In fact. at times the
entire outfit was gathered about one
base. while the battery was in operation
1t is the general Impression that the

the first step in its disagreement with

matter Of mine taxation. When s. b.

the mine tax bill tackled on to it in the
form of an amendment, it was first
referred TO the finance committee.
Then after the committee had an Op-

reported out yesterday morning with
TWO reports one a majority report
which was signed by WOrsely, Pace H.
r and c. B. Wood that the senate do
not concur The minority report was
in favor of concurrence and was signed
by HubbeIl, Kinney and Sims.
Then the fun began Wood of Mari
copa made some shrinking statements
at the afternoon session relative to the
activity of certain mining interests in
getting the bill passed which appeared
as an amendment TO a senate bill and
read a number of letters from various
mining men over the state. WOrsely
spoke against the bill but Sims and
