ly if it were the home team? The European war would be a nonentity compared with what would transpire in a very few minutes.
 The worlds series umpire must be absolutely sure of himself and one who will not be affected by stage fright in the face of a, high-strung crowd of about 10000 raving fanat- ics. He must be certain of his de- cision whether he is behind the plate, on the kases, OF in the field.
 So far the umpiring in the big se-, ries each year, has been as nearly perfect could ba desired. In fact. it was so good in the Bost New York series in 1912 that the National Commission added $260 to each urn- pire's share of $75O. making $1.000 for each for eight days work.
 Looking back at the past worlds series unpires give one and idea. of the cream Of arbiteFs for the last de- cade. Hank" O'Day, Tommy Con molly and Billy K1em have each work ed in five series since 1918. Sheridan has worked in four. O'Lough1in and RigIer three each, Evans and John stone two each, and Brennan.

 Athletics Out7eId.
 Connie Mack. manager of the worlds champions, Is not worrying, over his out1eId for the worlds se- r1es. He is well prepared in this de- partment, although his staff is not as great in numbers as the one he car- ried in the series last year.
 Dan Murphy, Ed Murphy, Daley, Walsh, Oldrtns and Strunk comprised the outer works last fall. Four of these still remain. They are Ed. Mur- phy, Walsh, Oldring and Strunk Dan ny Murphy has cast his lot with the Federals and Daley is with the Yank4 Connie Mack has a new man this year in the person of Lloyd Davies, a com bination pitcher-outhe1der
 During most of this season, Eddie Murphy has held sway in right field, and he probably will fill the bill in the series OIdring is the regular left fielder and Strunk is the regular in center. Walsh is the all-around man. He has played in over a hundred games this season, alternating with the regulars. Davies has also had chances to show. Both utility men have proved themselves capable
 The Athletic outfield on the seasons work easily holds the advantage over that of Boston
 Braves Outfe1d.
 The Braves this season carried one Of the largest outdelds ever punched on a major league team In all ii men were used in the outfieId by Stal- Hngs at different times. All but three of these still remain. They are Gilbert, Dugey and Connolly. The three men allowed to go were Collins. Murray and Griffith.
 At no time during the season did the Boston outfield play exceptional ly we'll. It was never better than fair Connolly, in left field is the star of the bunch. He is the only one who has helded brilliantly and batted con sistentIy throughout the campaign.
 None of the other members of the outfield was ever reasonably certain of play according to the whfms of Man ager Stallngs, and the pitchers of the opposing teams, with the result that they were never able to progress be- yond an elementary stage in develop ing team work
 o the eight, Connolly. Mann and Moran are the pick. They are e,o pected to do the bulk of the outfieId work for the Braves in the series
