Announcement That Fisher and
Bues Are Not Eligible
Blow to the Cubs.

cleveland, Ohio, Oct. AL the way
from Albany, \. Y, until the train
reached this point last night, Manager
O'Day of the Cubs bought every news
paper available, to ascertain whether
the eligible list of the Cubs and White
Sox for the city series had been given
out. He was most anxious to learn
if Bob Fisher and Arthur Bues were
eligible to play in the fall games, as
the report was that they would not be
allowed to perform, because of the rule
that no player is eligible for any post
season series if he does not join his
club before Sept. l.
O'Day knows that the ineligibility of
these two inf1elders would work
hardship with his team, and he desires
to have ample time if they are to be
barred. He declared he sent a wire
to President Tener of the National
league to learn for a certainty wheth-
CIR the worlds series rules apply TO
the city series. He always thought
they did, but was told by President
Thomas that they do not.

COLTS And CLUB
WIN IN OPENERS
Island City Bowling League
Starts Season Under Fa-
vorable Auspices.

Klove's Colts, champions of the Is,
land City Bowling league last season,
and the Rock Island club each won two
out of three games last evening in the
first series played by the Commercial
Bowling league, which was formed a
few weeks ago The former team
trimmed Clemann & Salzmann at the
st. Julien alleys, while the latter
copied their two games from the Rock
Island Pillow at the Rock Island club
alleys.
The scores made by the new league
in the opening games were good for
so early in the season and it is expect
ed that this league will be one of the
fastest in the three cities before the
war is over Although the Klovemen
won from Clemann & Salzmann, the
latter team made a higher total for
three games, as they secured a lead in
pms when they made SIS in the second
game. c. Jensen made the high total
for three games on the st. Julien al
leys with $50, and would probably
have made a greater score had he not
injured his right finger which held him
back the final game.
Howard "Blondy" Klove. captain of
the Colts, secured the highest single
game on the st. Julien alleys, when
he made 1S5 in the last game. At the
club alleys McKahn secured the high
est total for three games, with 527
pins, and also the highest single game
of the evening with 191 pins. The
closest game of the evening was the
final game played on the club alleys
when the Rock Island club won by
two-pin margin. Bassett, captain of the
Rock Island club, bowled a good game
as lead off man. The scores:
At st. julien Alleys.

Somers of the Maps is that man.

Somers of the Maps is that man.
Somers in one respect is the biggest
man in organized baseball. He con-
trols more ball players than any 9TH
err magnate. He has one of the finest
baseball plants in the country.
Somers is ready to sue for peace.
The Federal invasion has played havoc
with the playing strength of his team
and as result he has lost fortune
this year through falling off in attend
ance. Other American league moguls
did not suffer as severely and plan to
continue the fight against the FEEDER
ais. Ban Johnson, it is said, tried to
patch up matters in a recent visit to
Cleveland, but failed.
When Somers' team went bad this
year and he tried to make trades Il
an effort to strengthen it, other mag
mates simply gave him the merry
ha-ha.
The break that is threatened be-
tween Somers and other American
league magnates may come. If Somers
wants peace and holds out for peace,
the American league will have to COM
promise with the Federals.

: Philadelphia, Oct. Jack Barry,
the Athletics shortstop and a member
OF the famous "million-dollar infeld,"
is regarded by Connie Mack as the
most steady and dependable player in
that quartet. McInnis, Collins and
Baker are brilliant and sensational per-
formers. but when it comes to day
after day of the steady sort of star
ring that wins. Connie Mack points to
Jack Barry
Barry is perhaps not rated by the
fans as a player OF as great class as
Che rest OF the Athletic infleId. In
truth. few fans realize the value of
Barry and this is mostly because he
is not at all spectacular in his playing.
He covers the hardest chances with
such ease that the spectator thinks he
has done nothing very brilliant at all.
And Barry personally is such a retir-
ing and unassuming sort OF fellow that
it would never appear from his man
ner that he had done anything very
clever. Other players far behind Barry
in the matter OF real class are better
able TO impress the fans.
Connolly, who has umpired in the
American league for years, cannot
speak too warmly of Jack BarrE. both
as a player and a nan to know. He
is a star who does not receive his just
dues. He is one of the best shortstops
we have ever had in the game His
only trouble is that he doesn't show off
enough-he should play a little more
to the grandstand," says Connolly.
Baker always gets in front OF the
ball and he always handles it with
ease. have seen him get in front of
balls that any other shortstop would
dive Tor with one hand. If such
player got the ball with one hand and
the play, the stands would
rock with cheers. Barry makes It APP
pear too easy"
Barry isn't the hardest hitter of the
Athletic infield. as anyone acquainted /
with the performances of Baker and !
Collins will know. But he is certainly
one OF the most reliable. He seldom
fails to get bingle in a pinch. When |
hits count Barry can be relied upon
10 appear with one and Connie Mack |
knows that that's the stuff that counts !
II the average fan doesn't appreciate /
Barry's true ability II is certain that 1
Connie Mack does. And Connie Mack 4
knew that it was an injury to Barry /
that cost the Athletics the pennant .

Luck Aids Braves
in Climb to the Top

Luck and the Federal league were
able assistants of George Stallings in
the winning of the 1914 National
league pennant. That this is true is
shown in a story involving prominent
athletes in the persons of Jack Quinn.
Henry Gowdy and Richard Rudolph.
Going back to the early part of the
year it will be recalled that James
Gaffney, president of the Braves, be-
came indignant when he learned the
Baltimore Federals had signed Jack
Quinn. eX-Yankee pitcher. then a
star with the Rochester club.
The more he thought about it the
worse the deal looked. Gaffney con-
suited Stallings. They agreed it was
a shame. Whereupon Gaffney called
in his attorneys and shortly afterward
came the announcement that the Fed
eral league had been named defend
ant in a $4,000 damage suit
Gaffney and Stallings had a reason
Quinn looked like. the best pitcher in
the International league. A deal was
arranged. \ couple of athletes of
mediocre ability were to be given in
exchange. Dick Rudolph and Henry
Gowdy were the notables. Everything
was ready for the transfer when the
Feds" cut in. IF Rochester cannot
deliver Quinn we will keep Rudolph
and Gowdy." complained Rudolph.
Perhaps we can find another market
for them" quoth Stailings
Finally the season got under way
and Rudolph and Gowdy remained.

the present commissioner of the north
west frontier province was comman-
dant OF the khyber Rifles, a regiment
recruited wholly from the hills through
which the khyber pass runs and exist
ing to hold that pass. There were in
the regiment several companies drawn
from the tribes with which the regi-
ment was about to fight The comman-
dant assembled these COMPANIES and.
addressing them, said:
My country is going to war with
your country. We are sportsmen. So
are you We do not expect you to fight
against your own folk. Go home if YOU
wish to; fight against us if you like.
AT the end OF the war return to US and
we VIII take you back into our serv-
ice.

went up to fight against their own
folk. One native officer assisted in the
