Germans CarouSe
at Chateau

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Word has been
received here of how a party of
German officers raided the chateau
Of M. Menier, the chocolate mill
lionaire. and held a nine days
carousal in 1t. Menier was not at
home when the Germans called, but
servants were there and they were
forced to wait on the Kaiser's Of
ficers
Their second act was to bring UP
every bottle of a special brand Of
champagne that Menier kept on
hand. When the servant informed
him that the supply was exhausted,
the Germans refused to believe him.
At the point of a gun they made
the servant go into the cellar with
them and show them that there
was no more to be had. Following
that they had every chicken and
fowl of every kind on the place
killed and cooked for them
When they left, they took Menier's
motor cars with them.

GOLF GOSSIP
IBy Latest MALL

NEW YORK.-Apparently there Is
no downing the question with regard
to the status of the amateur golfer.
Despite the efforts In some quarters
to dismiss the subject. there Is still
persistence on the part Of the govern
mental powers that be to obtain as far
as possible the really true opinion of
the rank and file OF golfers throughout
the coantry as to who really consti-
tutes an amateur golfer.
Much has been said and written to
the effect that Robert G. watson. pres
ident OF the United States Golf Assoc
citation, Is q man who is not willing to
give way unless II be conclusively
proved that he is decidedly in error.
When Watson gave out statements to
all the club members of the United
States Golf Association, declaring that
certain abuses had crept into the game.
there was much ado Watson never
gave these views to the public, al
though he sent them to all the clubs Of
the United States Golf Association.
None the less. they cropped out and
caused some Juror.
Watsen's explanation appeared
shortly afterward. IL was an interest
ing view which explained that men
who had made the newspaper business
their profession could not well be
called professional golfers. But, the
president stated, those who had been In
other lines of business and had, be-
cause OF the reputation obtained on the
golf links, decided to become profess
aionaI writer's about the snort were not
exempt from the ruling which made
them professional golfers.
There might have been much more
argument had not the president merely
submitted his views to the golfers Of
the country with the statement he
did not wish to retire from office un-
der the impression that he was
afraid TO call attention to the exist
ing evils. That is the plain reason
for 1t all.

He figures on the two teams, which

Giants were leaving ST. Louis on their
last trip, following the three defats
out of four he handed the New York
club:
None of us expected to win the
pennant until after this series. Now
believe we are going to come through,
and so.do the players on my club. This
series has put heart into the whole

Higgins certainly deserves great
credit for what he has done with the
st. Louis team this year, but don't
believe he has chance to come
through to the pennant for two rea.

he will need, unless he is very lucky

Last year Higgins was discredited
as manager by the owners of the St

release. He encountered many dis
sessions among his players, some OF

was working in the box. Higgins was
slated to be removed and the owners
wanted to sell the club. when Miller
prevailed upon them to keep him an
other season and to let him put over
the big trade with Pittsburg which
cleared his team of the kickers and
trouble makers.

Some Expert Opinion"
Baseball lacks the stately dignity OF

IL not a highly skilled game. II has
many merits. Il should appeal to n

The impression that this match con.

which is no more than three and half
inches wide. Is held at right angles to
the body, chest high"
Then the expert goes on to describe
some of the rules of the game. Here Is
the description OF one rule, but II must
be one they concocted in England. No
one seems to know anything about It
over here: -s4--
a batter Is allowed to miss only
one ball which the umpire passes a.

Four Homers in Inning.
The greatest excitement DEVELOPS"
declares the English expert. when
only two or three men remain not out.
for then hard hitting and quick dashes
to the home base becomes neces-
sity."
The expert" losses bouquets at one
OF the English players named f.
Moore. who made five hits for four
each in the first inning" In other
words, Mr. Moore seems to have poked
out four home runs. Continuing in his
description, the expert assures the
populace that:
Smart fielding and accurate returns
to the various basemen are important
features, but as the ball is nearly al
ways in the air the necessity for q
well cut and rolled field does not
arise"
Judging from the number of runs
made II would be safe to assume that
''the ball was nearly always in the
air. and. no doubt. last seen when

BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON.
Just before the Boston club started
west on its last trip and the fine win
ming streak that finally carried it into
the first division, Johnny" Evers
said to me:
I'VE may not be contender this
year, Matty, but there is lot of pep
in our club, and figure we are go
ing to take the heart out of two or
three teams fighting for the lead be-
fore We get through"
Shortly afterwards, Stallings broke
into Chicago and took three out of
four from the Cubs just when the
Chicago team had chance to climb
into first place because the Cardinals
were trimming the Giants. Next the
Boston club moved into st. Louis
while the Giants were breaking even
with the Cubs and stopped the Card
inals at time when they had a grand
opportunity to move up within striking
distance OF the 'front.' Later, when the
western clubs came east the Cubs
made their first stop in Boston, when
they were hanging to the Giants
heels. The Braves gave them bat
tie all the way and took two out of
three games from them, thus handing
w chance to gain slightly. Eyers'
prediction came very true.
The Boston club is playing wonder
full ball, and. at its present pace, may
even do better than Eyers predicted
II may become a contender in anoth-
er month, If the leaders should be at
tackled with spell of sloppy ball
such as they had about a month ago.
You can never tell in this freak year.
Anyway, We are all afraid of Boston
when we meet it in series.
Boston May Decide Pennant.
A team like the Boston club decides
many a pennant race, even if it is
not up among the pacemakers itself,
because it has the ability to beat the
best of them and carries punch that
all the other clubs are afraid of 1t
also has a psychological advantage.
The Cubs, for instance, were fighting
to hang within striking distance of
the Giants when they came east.
which meant that they would have to
win every time the Giants came
through with a victory to hold their
position. Realizing this when they
went into each game, they divided
their attention between their own bat.
tie and the bulletin board to Observe
the progress Of the Giants contest.
They were playing under strain.
