NEW LEAGUE OPENS
Three Matches Feature Inter-
denominationaps Beginning.
STAR CUNTS GOOD SET
Dave McCarty Does Best Work for
Newspaper Boys, Aver
aging 118.

The Observation-Disclosures League open
ed its schedule last night with three
matches. In the first, Fifth took three
straight from Bethany; in the second, st.
Marks won two out OF three games from
the Kendall quint, and the last found the
Westminsters taking two out Of three
from Sixth. Only one game of more than
800 was scored, that being the second in
which Sixth bowled. Every man in the
lineup of that team seemed to find HIM
self In that frame, with single excep-
ton, with the result that the following
marks were hung up; Fish. 100; Binnix,
122: Fowler H.; Copeland, "a: Litchfield,
1O4. Elicit and Wyne did the best WORK
in the Fifth-Bethany set the former
averaging 101 and the latter 103. T..
George and Noak rolled high games in
the St. Marks-Kendall match. the first
mentioned setting a mark of 116 in his
first frame and in the last III.
The real feature of the evenings bowl
ing, though, was the work of The Even
ing Star team Had two members of the
newspaper five rolled up to their usual
standard it is likely that the highest set
of the year would have been registered.
As 1t was. with Harlow setting marks
much below what he usually does and
three games. 1857 pins were knocked
down.
Three members of the team did some
mighty fine work. Dave McCarty's roll
ing was the best of the evening, not only
for the Commercial League, but for all
the circuits. No man in any league was
nearly as consistent as he. McCarty roll
ed a set Of 3;5S. which was an average of
11S. The scores of McCarty's games
We're Ill, 131 and Ill. 1t is very seldom
that marks like those are set for three
straight games. Burhans was not far be-
hind McCarty, he getting set of 342
for an average Of ia. Burhans had one
higher game than McCarty, rolling one
of 1873, but he fell below the latter's stand
ard in his other two frames, having
scores of 105 and 1O4 Rodrick also did
some of his best bowling of the year. He
averaged 10, making 1O5, 11S and Jog.
Champion had one good game to his
credit, 121, but fell down in the other
two, getting only So and So Harlow, the
other member of the team, also failed to
reach his usual standard, not reaching
the 100 mark in either of his games. 1t
is needless to say that The Star five took
all three games from Judd & Detweiler
In its set against the Brunswicks in
the National Capital League the Capitol
Hill quint rolled over 800 in each of the
games. The scores were 500, $40 and
SO, which was 1,56S for the set. Van
Buskirk had the best average for an in
dividual, making III by reason of scores
of lis, III and 81. Ferguson and Nc
Cormick also did creditable work.
The Sherwoods of the Arcade League
also rolled a set of over 1850, getting
more than 500 In each game. Borden,
Rider and Eiker did the best work of
the Sherwoods, while Price was the most
consistent for the Holmeads.
The scores:

the team which lacks that essential is
never apt to make strong finish.
There are several reasons why the
Nationals ought to be a stronger team
next season than they were during the
last. Being team made up largely OF
young players, there is always a chance
for individual Improvement. and II
illness and accidents are avoided IL is
sure to make a big difference. Eddie
Foster was not the ball player last season
that he was the year before. He really
never entirely recovered from his siege
Of illness, but he Is pretty sure TO come
back after another winters rest.
Surely there should also be an improve
ment in the pitching. Boehling, for in
stance. should be lot better than he
was, and the chances are that the staff
will be further strengthened by the addi-
ton of some promising youngsters, while
1t is also to be expected that Bob Groom
will have a better year, for he was not
in his best form during the last cam
paign
1t is a peculiar coincidence that neither
Hugh Jennings or John McGraw are sue
cessful in worlds series. Jennings lost all
three that his team engaged In, while Nc
Graw won one in 1905 and has lost three
since
Both McGraw and Jennings are gradu-
atcs from the famous old Baltimore ORR
oIes In those days there were series
of games played between the first and
second teams known as the Temple cup
series, and it is another peculiar coinci-
dence that Baltimore never won any OF
these series.

BY J. ED GR1LLo.

With Ban Johnson taking stand for
the present system of deciding the world s
championship of base ball, there Is not
much danger Of a new system, such as
the interleague series, being adopted
Before any change, in anything provid-
ed by the present agreement under which
the two leagues are operating, can be
made both parties to the pact must agree.
and as Johnson undoubtedly speaks Tor
the American League 1t would seem that
the present worlds series has come TO
stay.
1t was evident during the recent games
in New York and Philadelphia that there
was considerable feeling against the pres
emit system of deciding the championship
and that many base ball men Favored the
plan suggested by Garry Hermann TO
have all the teams of the two mayor
leagues meet in a regular schedule In the
fall But since Johnson has declared MIN
self in favor of the present plan the
movement to have change Haoe VII,
undoubtedly be abandoned, Tor, as salo
before, any change that Is made must De
unanimous.
That batting ability is natures gift and
Is seldom acquired has been demonstrated
on numerous occasions. by the TACT that
great hitters, even after they grow SO Old
that their days of usefulness on team
are over, can still hit.
Take Pop" Arson, for instance he Is
near tlle> sixty mark now. ana yet three
years ago he toured the country with
semi-pro team for which he played first
base, and on two-month trip easily led
that team in hitting, with an average OF
over 400. 1t just comes natural for
these great hitters to meet the ball with
a bat while there are other players wro,
though they practice for years, never De-
come good batterS.
The American League superiority mas
once more been proven by the result OF
the interleague games played TINS IAN.
In no case. has an old league ciub won
a series, the SoX beating the Cubs ano
the Maps putting it on the Pirates. The
two St Louis teams broke even. not
playing the deciding game, and. or course:
it is unnecessary to tell what happened
to the Giants
I'm to a. few years ago il seemed that
the National League was the stronger
from an artistic point of view, but :: re-
markable change has taken place since
them made possible by the developnle emf
of lot of young players by the ArEerl-
can League, and today the Junior organ
ization is at least % per cent stronger
than its rival.
That it require something more than
mere batting strength to make a winning
team seems to have been shown by the
failure of the Maps to finish better than
third in the last race. Cleveland had a
lot of cracking good hitters. In fact, the
team was second only TO the Athletics
in this respect, Yet finished below the
Nationals, who were fifth in team bat
ting.
Not only did the locals have more con-
sistent good pitching than the Maps, but
they played a more intelligent game OF
ball. Birmingham's team broke down
when it was within hailing distance of
the pennant. 1t faltered when 1t ould
have displayed real backbone Cav mess
counts for much in pennant fight and

departure.
well see you again next year., re-
marked Oldring.
II don't believe there is a bit of doubt
about that" replied Mr.. Bruce, who, like
thousands of others, has an idea that the
famous Mack machine is not going to
crumble to pieces in hurry.
1t was not until after the players de-
parted for a place on Race street near
10th. where they were presented with
sweaters, that Manager Mack appeared
with Secretary John Shibe, and the Atl,-
letics' check was turned over to the lat
ter.
All told, twenty-siX checks for total
of $40, 1.2S were distributed by the COM
missions secretary. The Athletic club re-
ceived $69, 1884, 70, of which $4,000 had been
put UP with the commission as forfeit to
comply with all the rules of the series,
this leaving them a profit of $59. 333. 70 for
the five conflicts with the New Workers..
This was the net amount after % per cent
had been deducted from the American
League clubs total. which will be turned
over to President Johnson of the Ameri-
can League for distribution to the seven
clubs which did not get into the series.
Only for this arrangement, the Athletics
officials would have received $79, 1O9O5.

PHILADELPHIA October 15.-The VIC
tors came into their own yesterday. The
much anticipated cutting of the world s
series melon for the Mackmen to taste
and enjoy. took place at the Bellevue
|Stratford yesterday afternoon, and in a
short space of time every player who
was eligible for 1894 check had the
valuable bit of paper doled out to him
or to Manager Mack by Secretary John
lie. Bruce of the national commission, who
at the same time extended hearty con-
gratulations to the players on their sue
cess in the series. There were four alb
sentees from the party of Giant tanners
who exchanged courtesies with Bruce
when the allotment of the money was
made. Harry Davis, Chief Bender. Stuffy
McInnis and Jack Coombs were not pres
ent when their names were called out,
so their. checks were turned over to Man
ager Mack for safe keeping. Davis was
unable to attend owing to the death
of his son. Coombs is still confined to
the University Hospital, while Bender
was out on the golf links trying to break
an early morning record. McInnis, being
detained with some other business, could
not reach the hotel.
Those Mackmen who were on hand did
not waste many precious minutes in
|crowding into the national commission
room when it was announced that Secre-
tary Bruce was ready to begin the Santa
Claus act Ira Thomas, who can smell
money much farther than any other ball
player living, not even barring John Titus,
was one of the first on hand to get
"hiS."
Gee, but I am glad to get this!" said
Ira, as Bruce handed out his share of
the loot. This coin will be Well in

Jimmy. Walsh. Joe Bush, Wally Schang
and Byron Houck grinned delightedly
when they received their checks. Pete
Daley almost gasped when he saw the
figures.
They call California the Golden state,
said Daley, but they never handed me
anything like this out in the west.
Wyckoff, Pennock, Lavan and Eddie
Murphy never pulled an inch away from
the grand distributor as he handed them
out the checks and Billy Orr managed
to hold tight to his. even If he did have
one hand bound up in a board, owing to
an accident in game with New York

on war schemes which will go into ef-
feet within a fortnight. Lists have been
made and major league players approach
ed The Federals have agreed with nu-
merous stars of the diamond as to COM

willing to put the money in the bank in
any form desired by the players.
The war will break Immediately after

instructions to its members not to sign

Cardinals Approached.
1t has been common talk among the
Browns and Cardinals for some time that
agents for the Federals were at work.
In fact, q number of the players have
had definite propositions. Among those
approached are former Manager George
Stovall of the Browns, and First Base
man Konetchy of the Cardinals. Ko-
netchy is wanted as a star attraction for
