average is approximately five years
with Johnny Evers heading the list
with II years of play. The point of
professional service Plank leads the
Athletics with Is years of baseball play
and experience at his back Bender is
but one year behind and several 9th
ers just fall short of double figures in
their diamond career. AS 4 result the
Athletics average is six years, notwith-
standing the fact that a number of
comparative Youngsters are marshalled
under the Philadelphia flag.
The team which will act as the
standard bearer of the National league,
is an interesting combination of the
youth and the age of the diamond. In
some eases extremes have been blended
by Manager Stallings in artful manner
to make of the Braves winning team.
This fact is illustrated in two notable
eases. Principal figures in the scheme
of attack and defense which enabled
the Braves to win to the front of the
stirring race in the National league.
Johnny Eyers, veteran of nearly 1000
games, a figure prominent in the recent
history of the sport, has worked in eff
fective collaboration about second base
with rabbit Maranville, barely
more than a boy, playing his second
season with a major league club. The
same combination of old and young is
found in the records of the men of
the outfeld, and of the pitching staff.
These figures show the eldest member
of the team to be Otto Hess. with 33
years behind HIM Almost a boy, Paul
Strand at 10 years is the baby of the
team.

supremacy of America.
Adrian Anson, Charles Comiskey,

Absence of Brilliant Little Third Sack
err Real Blow to New Yorkers-Bos-
ton Braves Have Crack Trio of Kid
Pitchers.
If John McGraw had Arthur Shafer
on third base he might have had an
easy time capturing the pennant- Sha-
fer is u real star. Because he is a
real star McGraw couldn't keep him.
At this stage of the game last year
Shafer was batting above 800, fielding
wonderfully, scoring and driving in
runs. Stock, who replaced Shafer on
third, is a good average player, but
Shafer was a star. Not quite in the
Cobb class, he could still tip victory
for his club.
McGraw's system kept Shafer out OF
the Giant lineup this year. 1t is not
a system for topnotchers. The New
York leader insists on doing all the
thinking for his club. and great play
ers are great players because, in adj
dition to mechanical ability, they can
do their own thinking.
No man McGraw has had stood up
above his fellows except Mathewson.
Matty is a pitcher and that lis some
thing else again" A manager can't
order a pitcher to pitch certain balls,
so Matty has stuck.
But every one of the Giant stars have
been stars because they were brilliant
mechanical players who did we'll under
orders. Shafer couldn't stand orders.
| Besides, he was sensitive and couldn't
stand McGraw's method of ruling. SO
he quit, having money enough to do so.

The last crushing blow dealt to 'au-

United States Golf association, which
decided that amateur golfers who were

HOPES SERIES WILL BE SHORT
Athletics Manager Would Like to See
IL Zone in Four OF Five Games.


When Boston and the Athletics
meet in the next worlds series, said
Connie Mack, q suppose we will be
expected to win the honor in four
games.
: Personally, | hope that we will be
able TO do this, and if we are eoino to
lose, [ trust that we viii be the worst
beaten team on earth, and that the
Braves lick us in four straight.
. Either result would allav any
suspicion from the skeptics of there
being frameup and that the series
will be heightened out to six or seven
games on that account.
ct 1t Is foolish TO presume that
either team should carry off the cham
pIonshlp IN four straight games. In
me playing season we are satisfied If
we are able to win three games out
OF tour when playing with the tail
end clubs. = Still we are asked to
trim the hest club in a rival league,
supposed TO be of the same strength
as ours, worse than we DO the tail
enders in our own league 1t doesn t
seem reasonable
In no world 5 series in which the
Athletics have participated have more
than SIX games been played. 1t took
hVe games for the Giants to defeat us
IN 1908. In 1910 we defeated the Cubs
IN the same time. The following wear
we played our longest series, il re.
curing six playing days before we
could down New York. Last year we
carried off the big title in five games.
Win or lose, | hope that for the rea
sons above the games don I 90 more
than four or five games. -

NEW RATES IN EFFECT.
Regular Parcel Post Charges on
Seeds, Cuttings and Bulbs.

Postmaster General Burieson issued an
order today putting into effect the post
age rates on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,
scions and plants provided for by the act
of Congress of March 8. 1914. Copies of
the order with necessary instructions,
are being sent by Third Assistant Post
master General Dockery to all post
masters. The act mentioned repeats the
special rate of postage heretofore charge
able on seeds, plants, etc, and makes
the regular parcel post rates Of postage
applicable to parcels of such articles
Under the law just enacted parcels of
seeds. cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and
plants, Weighing four ounces or less, are
subject to postage at the fiat rate of
cent for each ounce or fraction thereof,
regardless of distance On parcels ex-
ceeding four ounces in weight the pound
rates applicable to the respective zones
apply.
The fact that seeds, plants, etc, were
specifically excepted from the regular
, fourth-class rates by the parcel post law
caused much dissatisfaction, and there
was an urgent and widespread demand
by farmers, seedsmen, nurserymen and
others for the extension of the parcel
post rates to these articles.

strom Of stock speculation in Wall street,
thus preventing an immediate call for
emergency funds in cases of unusual

placed in the regional reserve banks in
different parts of the country, and will
be at the immediate service of smaller
banks to loan for legitimate business en-
terprises.
Mr.. Glass also took occasion to laud
President Wilson for the part he took in
getting the measure through. For pa
