IS ALL TOMMY
No Baseball Dove of Peace Exists, Says
b. b. johnson.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Organized baseball
has made no overtures to the Federal
league for the establishment of peaceful
rela tons, nor will it make any, Presi-
dent B. B. johnson of the American
league said in q statement here Mon
day night.
Reports that certain club owners Of
the American league had held a con-
ference with President James A. Gill
more of the Federal organization re-
Gently to bring about a settlement Of
the baseball war" were characterized
by Johnson as pure tommyrot."
There is not word of truth in the
story" President johnson said. There
can be no peaceful adjustment of this
problem. When the American league
invaded the game, the club owners Of
our organization went in for a fight to
a finish and never asked for quarter.
Organized ball was glad to welcome
us. The mere suggestion Of compro-
mise in this case never has been con-
sidered by our club owners"

played GREAT GAME
Bobby PEBBLES Showed Lincoln Golfers
Some Professional Stunts Sunday.

Bob PEBBLES, the Topeka Country
club professional golfer. played a
great game against A. Hurr. the Lin
coin, Neb., professional. in their
matches on the Lincoln links Sunday
and Monday.
Sunday Herr and PEBBLES played a
36-hole match for a purse offered by
the Lincoln club and the Topekan
won the match 2 up. Bobby did not
arrive in Lincoln until Sunday morn
ing and he began this match without
having even seen the Lincoln course,
which naturally gave his opponent q
great advantage. In the first round
OF this match PEBBLES finished only
up but In the afternoon he was in
much better form and better ac-
quainted with the course and won
after Herr had rallied and made q
wonderfully strong run.
On account Of Herr not being salts
field with his defeat "a second match
was arranged for Monday for another
purse and q bet on the side and
PEBBLES played even better golf than
he did on Sunday and won by up.
The scores in Sundays match were:
Peebles-78-77-
1855.
Mondays game: Peebles-75-70-
ISL: Herr-77-76-153.
Many who saw the matches said
that PEBBLES put up the best games
ever seen on the Lincoln links.

ODDS ARE even
Statistics Show Braves and
Athletics Are Well Matched.
Dope Sheet Shows Braves Have
q Slight Advantage.

In the worlds series which will begin
Friday. the teams representing the
American and National leagues win be
more evenly matched than for several
years. The Philadelphia club has Il
men who are eligible to play in the Sc
r1es and the Boston club has ~. These
players are about equal in experience
and age.
In playing the New York club on past
occasions the Athletics had an advan-
tage over the Giants by reason of their
youth which il essential for speed. The
same can be said Of the Chicago Ma
tionals under the leadership OF Frank
Chance.
But this condition does not exist this
season. The average age OF the Boston
club players is "a years and 10 months
and the average age Of the Athletics is
26h years. and this may prove a slight
handicap to the White Elephants.
The Athletics average experience also
IL greater than that Of the Braves. The
former have an average Of five years
Braves have had but five years and one
month.
While youth Is always a prominent
factor in athletic contests Of all kinds.
It. may be overcome by experience and
head work on the part Of the Athletics
this season. Boston's strongest men on
the infield are Evers and Maranville,
who are thought to be the equal Of any
Of the Philadelphia players.
The following statistical information
will give the fans some line on the two
teams. In offering this. however, it
must be admitted that in past years
the dope has gone awry many. many
times.

NO EASY MEAT.
Connie Mack Admits That BOstoI
Braves Must Have Some Team.

Philadelphia. Oct IA team that
can bound to the front and win a PEN
nant as the Braves have done must
be a pretty good baseball team. We
do not look upon any ball club Of that
caliber as easy meat. From now on
until the last ball is pitched in the
American League season we will be
preparing for the big games"
This was Connie Mack's statement
when he was asked to forecast the
probable outcome Of the worlds series.
Reminded that his statement really
prophesied nothing, the rangy leader
Of the American League champions
said:
That Is all care to say about what
is going to happen. All Of my men
are in the best Of condition with the
exception OF Bush and all that ails him

so he will be ready for the big games -

scrimmage practice. To make the
give a practical demonstration of
brother against brother, Bobby Gray
played with the freshmen and the
spectators were given a good exhibi-
ton of football. The scrubs scored
two touchdowns and the freshmen one.
Markham played a star game for the
scrubs and Kessler, He'll and Rice were
the freshmen blue dome twinklers.
Bobby Gray got through the scrub line
for q 30-yard gain and He'll carried
the ball over for the freshman score.
Markham's line bucks showed consid-
cradle improvement over his former
playing. Grip made some good punts
and forced the freshmen to turn their
backs to him several times.

THE BIG MITTERS
Four Catchers Will Likely Do
" Worlds Series Work.
BackstOps of Braves and Attn
letics Are OldtimerS.

New York Oct. I'm all hke1nooo
only four men will be called upon to
work at the receiving ends OF the pat
teries during the coming worlds cham-
phia Athletics and Boston Nationals.
Each club will undoubtedly depend
upon the two catchers who have given
such a good account Of themselves all
through the playing season. They Will
take an important part in the strug-
gle for as soon as a catcher dons the
mitt and mask Of his calling in a con-
test he assumes an immense amount OF
responsibility. In fact there is no tell
ing how many of the games are d.
Tected from behind the plate. In addi-
tion to exchanging signals with the
pitcher as to the weakness or strength
of the batters, he has to be quick
thinker. keen sighted, always alert ana
invariably accurate in throwing to head
off the base pilferers. :.
In this department Connie Mack IS
proba bly, the more fortunate in having
Lapp and Schang, both of whom have
had previous experience in world
championship games. Schang, on wnom
most of the work behind the bat de-
vOlved in the Athletic-Giants' series
year ago bore the brunt of the work
throughout this years American league
season. Last year he caught in four or
the five games played in the worlds
series and may do the larger snare
again in the coming contests.
Ira Thomas, the veteran catcher, is
another on whom Manager Mack
could II in case Of accident to either
of the two mentioned, but he has not
been in the game much during the
past season and it is not likely that
his services will be needed.
Manager Stallings has two very re-
liable receivers in Gowdy and Whal-
ing both of whom have been wonder
fully successful this past season. Both
are young men and each has been
identified with professional baseball
for five years. The success of the
team, phenomenal as it was, in land
ing the National league pennant this
year speaks volumes for the work
of the batteries and the catchers nat
urally are not to be overlooked for the
parts they played so VIC ! in bringing
about the unlooked-for victory.
Gowdy, who did the lions share Of
catching for the Braves during the
season, stands one inch over six feet
and weighs 1877 pounds.
The seasons record of the Athletics
and Braves catchers, as compiled
from unofficial figures, is as follows:
