Many First-CIass Pin Knights
Falter When They Try to
Hit Headpin.
MANY OPEN DATES NOW
Teams Should Make Applica-
ton Early for Special Nights
in Star Tournament.

Though the opening of the seventh
annual renewal of The Star headpin
bowling tournament is nearly two
weeks off, the arrangements at the
Iroquois Academy, where the AFFAIR is
to be held, as usual, are practically
complete. The pin knights will ma
that the alleys are to their liking and
that all the surroundings will be
pleasant There is TO be ample seat
ing room for the spectators and ar
rangements have been made to have
the big score board so placed that all
will be able to follow the progress OF
the games. In the, headpin game,
when a bowler gets string OF hlts
well started the spectators are al
ways decidedly interested in his sue
cess, and, when it is not possible to
watch the progress of the ball down
the alley, the fans like to watch for
the score as it is posted.
The head-pin game is a real test for
the nerve as well as the skill Of per-
former. Lots of bowlers, able to
make big scores at the ordinary game,
fall down when il comes to getting
to the headpin for twelve frames in
a row. Your "spot bowler" who is
always looking for the groove on an
alley and attempting to lay his ball
down so that it will work up to the
pocket, will never succeed at the
headpin game. There is no time TO
experiment. The only way to do is to
shoot directly for the headpin and
not for the pocket. This does not
mean that centre ball is the more
effective, but a bowler should see to
it that no attemptis made to hook the
ball or to try to sweep the alleys.
Shoot for the head-pin just as il it
were the only pin on the alley and
watch-fob is almost sure to be won.
It is rare for a bowler to hit the
head-pin twelve times in row and
still fail to get score Of 100 or bet

Newarkers Are Early in Line
for Worlds Series Tickets

Samuel Yanko, of 299 Jelliff avenue,
and Robert w. Graether, of 35 Nairn
place, this city. We're two of over 100
men and boys in line in Philadelphia
last night waiting for the opening sale
Of the worlds series baseball tickets.
The tickets are to be sold in a
Philadelphia department store, be-
ginning tomorrow morning, and not
more than two are allowed one per-
son. This is the only place except
Shibe Park where tickets can be pro-
cured, and by this restriction the Ath-
letics' management hopes to keep the
spectators out of the game.
The spectators are persons not
easily discouraged. however, and
when they learned there would be no
mail orders received in Philadelphia
they organized a corps of walters" to
hold the line from Monday to Wednes-
day. Yanko and Graether are second
and third, and Philadelphia papers
say that both have admitted they
have undertaken the hesitation
marathon in the interests of ticket
speculation.

PLANK, BENDER, HESS AND EVERS
ARE VETERANS OF WORLD SERIES

In point of service in baseball, Ed
die Plank is not such a veteran, after
all, when one stops to look over the
records of performers who will take
part in the coming worlds series.
Plank has been in baseball only one
more year than Johnny Evers, who
is now serving his twelfth term as
professional baseball player. Chief
Bender has been in baseball twelve
years, too, while Otto Hess has served
ten seasons in the National pastime.
Bill James, weighing 202 pounds, is
the heaviest man, and Ira Thomas,
of the Athletics, with 200 even, is next
on the list The lightest men on the
two teams are Crutcher and Evers,
who weigh less than $50 pounds.
James is also. the tallest, with six
feet three inches to show for his alti-
tude.

CLUB WHICH WINS FIRST GAME
GENERALLY CAPTURES SERIES

The team that wins the first game
of a worlds series generally wins the
set. Just two exceptions have oc-
Cured in ten series. IN 1903 the Bos-
ton team lost it's first game to Pitts
burgh and finally won the series. In
1911 the Athletics were beaten in the
first game by New York, but ulti-
mately won out. The only other pos
sble exception to the rule of winning
the first game was in 1907, when the
Detroit Americans and the Chicago
Nationals played 3-3 tie. The next
game resulted in Chicago's favor and
the Cubs won the pennant, so Frank
Chances men really won the first
game that came to a decision.
Secret practice in preparation for
the worlds championship series with
the Boston Braves was started today
by the Philadelphia American League
team. 1t was planned to give the
Mackmen a hard drill for two hours
in the forenoon today and tomorrow,
while both morning and afternoon on
Thursday will be devoted to plays
that it is hoped will be effective
against the National League cham
pions. The Athletics will line up
against the New York Americans this
afternoon, while the final game of
their regular schedule will be played
tomorrow against the same team.
Manager Mack announced last night
that the National League winners
will not hold their preliminary prae-
tice at Shibe Park, the home of the
American League here, but will prac-
tice for the worlds series on the
grounds of the Philadelphia Nationals
Robert McRoy, representative of the
! National Commission, is expected in
Philadelphia today to consult with
John d. Shibe, secretary of the Ath-
letics, regarding the public sale of
| tickets which opens tomorrow.
Although the sale of worlds series
| tickets in Philadelphia does not begin
until o'clock tomorrow morning, a
| line of would-be purchasers a half
block long started to form in front of
! the Gimbel store in Philadelphia yes
terday. The first in line was a young
ster named Joe Banks, who hoped to
hold his position by alternating with
his brother. He hailed from Camden,
n. j., and was seeking tickets for his
father who has not missed a series in
years.

Frank Baker and Red Smith will be
the third basemen in the worlds
series, and the former easily has the
edge on the x-Brooklynite on past
performances.
What Baker did in the worlds
series of 1911, against the Giants, was
aplenty. What he did in the series
last year, also against the Giants,
was also aplenty. On the first occa-
sion he slammed a home run off
Mathewson and another off Mar
guard Last year he belted another
circuit smash off the wry-necked one.
Much has been said against the
fielding of the Trappe Terror. He has
been accused of being one OF the most
sluggish fielders in the business yet

Maplewods to Have strong Team

The Maplewood Field Club will be

ity. Beanie Hulse, the present foot.
ball coach at st. Benedict's Prep.
School, will hold down one of the
forward positions, while George Gil
hooley, a former ST. Benedict star,
will play the other forward position.

FRANK BAKER HAS ADVANTAGE OF
EXPERIENCE OVER RED SMITH

he always finishes the season near
the top of the third base fielding
averages. He is not what might be
called a particularly classy fielder
but he generally manages to tighten
up and hold his own when there is
much at stake. Naught need be said
of his batting prowess.
Smith is a neat player at the third
corner and is fairly good hitter for
an infielder. He has other virtues,
too, but combined they are not suff1-
cient to rank him with Baker.

Reggie Mcnamara and Oscar Egg
will ride a return match at the Velo-

pion is in hopes that he will retrieve
his lost laureis. Eggs defeat Sunday
was more the result of poor handling
of his pace than anything else, all
though neither rider had all the pace
they wanted The pacemakers in
both crews tired long before the finish
and the riders were calling for more
pace almost continually. Manager
MacFarland has arranged for eight
teams to pace each rider in the next
race, and as some of the teams will
be made up of stars 1t is very likely
that there will be ample pace for
both riders. Each rider had six
teams last Sunday. which was
thought to be sufficient, but the paced
stars proved to have more endur-
ance than even the old sage; MacFar-
land, had figured on.

We, the grand Jury, beg leave
to submit this our report:
We have faithfully inquired into
violations of the law, that have
come before us, during this our
session; that we have examined
the court house, and find that it
needs some repairs, in the way OF
replastering and repainting, both
inside and outside; also find three
or four leaks.
We find the Jail in bad condi-
ton, floors need repairing and
other work done; also find scarcely
any bedding and recommend the
burning of all old beddings and
the purchase of new; also find the
water system bad.
Upon inquiry we find the vaults
in the court house are getting too
small for the different files.

Finds Much in Need of Attention

We find that the bad roads
throughout the parish, this past
summer, was caused by neglect of
road overseerS in many cases and
stopping of natural drains for pri-
vate use.
We find that the public ball
rooms throughout the parish are
causing more trouble than all other
sources combined; one especially
Fergues Benoit's place; also num-
Der of dance halls without licenses
We want to express many thanks
for assistance rendered us by the
different officers while at work
and especially to the district at
torney.
Having finished Our labor we
respectfully ask for our discharge
until such time when our services
are needed.
