MANY Braves With
CHAMPIONS BEFORE
Fourteen Boston Players
Have Helped Clubs to
Top Of List
TWO HAVE BEEN
WITH FOUR WINNERS

BOSTON, Sept. est will be no
new experience for the majority OF
the Braves if they are members Of
a fag-winning combination this fall
fourteen of them previously having
been identified with pennant winners.
Captain John Evers and Private Herb
Moran are the athletes Of the Stall
ings clan who most often have played
on championship teams. The Trojan
played under Chance when the Cubs
captured National league banners in
1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910, while the
former Red pastimed in cities that
won gonfalons in the Interstate,
Southern and Eastern leagues.
Fred Mitchell, whose right name,
they say, is Yapp, has played with
three champion teams, having been
one of Connie Mack's pitchers the
first year the tall tactician's club fin
ished in front in the American league.
That was 1902. Five years later
Mitchell caught for the Toronto East
ern league champions and three
years ago he was with Rochester
when it won the pennant.
two teams that finished in front are:
Josh Devore, Dick Clutches, Otto
Hess, Dick Rudolph, Bert Whaling
and Larry Gilbert Josh was with
the Giants in 1911 and 1912, Hess
with New Orleans in 1910 and 1911,
Rudolph with Toronto III 1907 and
1912, and Whaling with Seattle in
1909 and 1912. Crutcher helped pitch
the Frankfort, KY, club to the
Blue Grass league pennant in 1908
and year later he aided Enid, Okla,
in annexing the Western association
championship. Larry Gilbert became
connected with a fiag-winner the first
year he played professionally. That
was in 1910. He started with San
Antonio, which club transferred him
to the Victoria club of the Southwest
Texas league. Victoria led at the
finish. Last year Gilbert was with
the Milwaukee club, which captured
chief honors in the American asso-
citation.
The Braves championship expert

greens. The day went through without
any slicing on the ball at any tee. The
visitors approaches and drives were OF
superb style. Caleb Stabler and Ralph

BAKER and M'CARRON
Battle TO A DRAW

Jack McCarren, the Allentown mid
dleweight, and Harry Baker fought a
draw in the wind-up at the National
Athletic Club, Philadelphia, Saturday
night, in one of the rougnest bouts
seen in the club for a long time. Nc
Carren was seemingly determined to
put Baker away with one punch, and
he became so wild that he missed
many chances that might have
brought home the bacon. Both men
we're bleeding after the third round,
Baker from the nose and mouth, and
McCarren from a cut over the head.
There were no knockdowns, but each
staggered the other many times with
hard swings to the head and body.
Baker was substituted for AL Mccoy
and he had only a days notice of the
bout, having no time to train.

RICHARDSON
STAR At CAMDEN
dupont Men Miss But Four
Targets in Preliminary to
Championship
BIG FIELD CUTS
PROGRAM SHORT

One hundred and five marksmen
faced the traps Of the Camden Shoot
ing Association Saturday afternoon,
in the contest preliminary to the
championship season of the Philadel-
phia Trapshooters' League, and if
the interest displayed can be accepted
as a criterion, the season Of 1914-15
will be the greatest in the history of
the organization. The original pro-
gram called for 100-bird event, but
so great was the outpouringN of
marksmen from the several clubs in
the league that 1t was necessary to
cut it to so targets. Even then dark
ness was fast approaching when the
last squad finished, and candles were
pressed into use to permit the Off
cials to figure out the prize-winners.
The awards we're made under the
Lewis system, by which the low
scorers have a chance Of capturing
prizes in the lower classes with some
of the high men going away empty
handed. After the shooting was
concluded the contestants we're divi-
ded into five classes, according 10
their scores, and two prizes Of equal
value we're given in each class. The
days first honors went to Billy Foord
and Richardson, each of whom missed
| but four targets, and who we're the
recipients of the two awards in Glass
A. In Glass B there were four ties
Haines, Martin, farrell and COyle-
each with a score of 65. II was toe
dark to shoot off, and in a drawing
to decide the winners Haines and Jar
rell were the fortunate ones. Three
were tied In Glass C-Stiles, Chalmers
and RoreT-each with q score Of so.
In the draw Stiles and Chalmers took
the prizes.
Glass D had six ties for nrst place

Taylor, Lamborn, r. Greenwood and
Killian. Fortune favored J. p. Tay-
Tor and Killian In the draw. The
scores of each in the class was So.
E. Carter, Perryferry, Davis and Col
lier, each with 81, we're even for the
honors in Glass e, and on the draw
the first-named two were declared
! the winners. Beautiful cut-glass
I pieces were the prizes, and in addi-
ton each Of the clubs in the league
was presented with a like piece of
ware by the Camden Club. High-gun
) honors among the professionals went
to Mel Hawkins. who had a score OF
y 75. During the early part OF the
shoot a high wind bothered the
marksmen, but the breeze later died
down and conditions were much bet
ter.

WHEREIN THE LETTER B
INVARIABLY BUTTS IN"

One fact that often is over
looked in the discussion OF four
time flag winners in the National
League is that whenever a team
has a chance to win four banners
in four successive years some
club whose name begins with B
comes along and upsets the
game. To illustrate;
Chicago landed the champion
ships of 1880. 1881 and 1882 and
Boston finished first in 1888.
Boston landed the champion
ships of 1891 1892 and 1898, and
Baltimore finished first in 1894.
Baltimore landed the champion
ships of 1894. 1895 and 1896,
and Boston finished first in 1897.
New York landed the chan
pionships of 1911, 1919 and 1918,
and Boston finished - in 1914.
So. you see. If the Braves do
keep McGraw from accomplish
ing what was too much for
Adrian Arson, Frank Selce and
"Ned' Hsnlon.. they will merely
be following precedent

On Saturday as a forerunner for the

JUNEAU VESSEL ENGAGES
 IN COD FISHING TRADE

The staunch little fishing schooner Highland Queen. Capt Knute Knut- son. is scheduled to sail for the Unga cod fishing banks tomorrow. Capt. Knutson and the Highland Queen have been important factors in the Jun eau halibut fishing fleet for the past two or three years and are well known to people who are familiar with the waterfront of this town. The round trip voyage means covering @ dis tance of about 15OO miles going by way of Prince William sound. Next month, Capt Knutson says is the best month of the year for taking the beautiful gray cod of the Pacific ocean.
 The banks of Unga offer the only cod fishing to be had on the Pacific coast during the winter months ow- ing to the fact that Boring sea is closed by the winter ice. The gray cod of the Pacific are fully the equal of any taken on the Atlantic accord ing to Capt Knutson, but as yet the fishermen of this section have not adopted the best and modern meth ods of caring for them.
 The new vacuum drying process, Capt. Knutson thinks when adopted in Alaska will revolutionize the cod fishing business. Plans are now be- ing formed to interest parties in the business and if successful a suitable location will be chosen and a plant established.

NEXT YEARS WHEAT
 CROP TO BE LARGER

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The indications are that next years wheat crop will be a great deal larger than the phe- nomenal crop this year with like weather conditions. More acres are being sowed to winter wheat than ever before in the history of the coun- try.
 Farmers everywhere are planning to make every acre of land count next year. It is predicted that not only will the wheat acreage be larger, but that the acreage in all the cerials and hardy vegetables will be increased
 South To Raise Foodstuffs.
 In the Southern States there will be millions of acres planted to cerials and vegetables that heretofore have grown cotton.
