HEAVY HITTING CAUSES DOWNFALL
OF RED S0X before WASHINGTON
ATTACK SCORE IS Nine TO THREE

serious enough to keep him out of the
big games.
Walsh played first base for Phila-
delphia in good style. The American
League champions showed the effect
OF the layoff by their weak hitting but
this was offset by excellent fielding
and splendid twirling by Bush and
Bresler and Sha wkey. Each pitched
three innings, Bush not permitting a hit
and Bressler and Shawkey only one
each. The score:
New York 30 100000 o-O-2-1

WORLDS SERIES WILL TEST
FORECASTS OF THE RELATIVE
MERITS OF BRAVES AND MACKS

New York, Oct 5.-When the Athletics
of Philadelphia and the Boston BRAVES"
line up in the opening game of the
Worlds Championship Series the fans
will have an opportunity of seeing in ac-
tual play whether the forecasts as to the
relative merits of the teams, as a whole,
or the individual players. man for man
were correctly figured as result of the
work of the men during the season just
finished
Unofficial batting averages figured up
to Sept. %, furnished an Interesting COM
parison of the hitting ability of the OPP
posing pennant winners. On paper Con-
ME Mack's men look the stronger in this
department Three of them, Collins, Nc
Innes and Baker are well over the much
desired 300 mark. while Connolly is the
only one among the Braves to have
that distinction. Figures are stubborn
facts and from season to season many of
the few 300 hitters here demonstrated
that they did not get to the high places
on the list by "fiuke." Consistently
good work with the stick is all that keeps
the topnotchers in their exalted places in
the average column. Their success is
simply due to their good eyes and equally
useful arms, a combination which COM
pletely eliminates the element of luck.
That they have become accustomed to
the boxwork and the many furtive tricks
of the pitchers in their respective leagues
during the season goes without saying.
Just what the heavy hitters will or will
not do with the strange" curves and in
shoots of rival league moundmen re-
mains to be seen. Herein lies great
deal of the interest taken in the post
season games. This is what adds little
more uncertainty to the outcome and the
uncertainty of baseball is potent factor
in the National game. Some very promi-
nent pitchers have beens "Waterlooed"
when, in the worlds Series, they con-
fronted Strange batters. Probably
few surprises are in store for one or
more pitchers in the coming champion
ship games. AS in the past, some one of
them who is looked up to as almost in
vincible in his own league may be
found" by the batsmen of the other
league. Everyone who goes to game
likes to see the boys "hit EN- out" and
1t is to be hoped they will not be disap-
pointed in the coming struggle for su-
premaey.
When but two weeks of the present sea-
sons schedule remained to be played out
the unofficial batting averages of the ri
val clubs showed that the Athletics had
the advantage by fairly good margin of
20 The Athletics for 145 games played
had a club batting average of .273 and
the Braves had PAT for lao games.
Following is list of the players on
both sides who took part in Is or more
games this season together with their
batting averages: kzk

what happened.
Florence coming down the stairs.
Il thought you couldn't come!" she
cried. But 10 o'clock"
II changed my mind" he replied,
laughing.
He caught her arm in his and drew
her toward the library. Jones smiled
after them with that enigmatical
smile of his, which might have signi-
fed irony or affection. After half an
hours chat, Florence, quite aware
that the two men wished to talk, re-
tired
At the door Norton told Jones what
had taken place at 40 Elm street.
"Ah! we must not forget that num-
ber," unused Jones. MY advice is,
keep an eye on this Gregg chap. We
may get somewhere by watching
him."
DO you know where Hargreave
is?"
Jones scratched his chin refec-
lively.
Norton laughed. 81 can't get any
thing out of you"
Much less anyone else. I'm grow
ing fond of you, my boy. You're q
man"
Thanks; and goodnight"
When Olga Perigoff called the next
day Jones Invested himself of his liv-
cry. donned a plain coat and hat,
and left the house stealthily. Today
he was determined to learn .some-
thing definite in regard to this suave,
handsome Russian. When she lef,
the house Jones rose from his hidiun
place and proceeded to follow her
| The result of this espionage on the
part of Jones will be seen presently
Meantime Jim went down to the
office and lied cheerfully about his
missing the general. Whether the
city editor believed him or not is of
no matter. Jim went over to his
desk. From the corner of his eye he
could see Gregg scribbling away. He
never raised his head as Jim sat down
to read his mail. After a while Gregg
rose and left the office; and, of
course, Jim left shortly afterward.
When the newcomer saw that he was
being followed he smiled and con-
tinued on his way. This Norton chap
was suspicious. All the better; his
suspicious should be made the hook
to land him with. BY and by the man
turned into drug store and Jim
loitered about till he reappeared.
Gregg walked with brisker steps now.
1t was his intention to lead Norton
on a wild goose chase for an hour or
so, long enough to give Braine time
to arrange a welcome at another
house.

MADISON, Oct. Acknowledgement
and producers of the present day
could well take lessons in some re-
spects from those who made house
hold products a hundred years ago,
If the specimens shown at the ex-
hibit given last evening under the
auspices of the Missionary Society of
the First Presbyterian Church is a
criterion. The articles exhibited all
belonged to charter members of the
Women's Missionary Society, which
is observing its Tooth anniversary this
week with an interesting program
The exhibit took place yesterday and
last evening in Webb memorial
chapel.
A special occasion yesterday after
noon was the serving of tea on a
table owned century ago by Da-
maris Bruen. This piece of furniture
is now the property of Mrs. Samuel
Lum. Miss Bruen was a charter
member of the society.
Although the exhibit was a very
large one for its kind, the women say
that they could have easily collected
twice as many articles had there beer
place to put them. As it was Q
person could spend hours in examin.
Ing the pieces of furniture. counter
panes, work baskets and boxes, pic
lures and many other articles. Some
of the furniture, old mahogany
seems as though it were manufae-
tured but yesterday There are few
marks on the tables and desks anc
the polish is still bright.
Original Constitution on sheepskln.
The constitution of the missionary
society of the First Church, as it was
originally written on sheepslin, was
on exhibition. The second article OF
this law, embodying the objects Of
the society, has never been changed
There were also many other writer
papers, dated as far back as 125 year,
ago. Some of the exhibits belonged
to French Huguenots, who fled Il
this country to escape religious per
secution in France and incidentally
settled in Madison, which was ther
Bottle Hill.
An invaluable relic Is the Bible ant
a set of spoons of Mrs. Comfort Bow
