Braves Will Have to
Go Some to Win Series

by the reputation of the Athletics-a
Just one, in many ways, 1t must be ad
mitted. and earned at the expense of
clubs that we have all believed to be
stronger than the present Brayes-in
individual makeup.
But let il not be supposed for a mo-
ment that the armor of this Achilles of
baseball has no weak spot The Bos-
ton Red Sox found one and plunked
right into the center of it, trimming
the Athletics soundly to the tune of
about eight games of their last ten
meetings.
This weak spot lies in the pitching.
and 1t is here that Boston's best chance
lies.
OF course let 1t be understood that
the Braves will know they have been
playing baseball.
The Athletics always look about 80
per cent stronger in a worlds series
than they do during the regular sea-
son. Even American leaguers on 9th
er teams will admit this.
On form the Athletics ought to win
the series. But that's not saying that
they are going to do it. Pittsburgh
ought to have beaten Boston back in
1903, and the Giants should have tri-
umphed over the Red Sox in 1912
But none Of these things came about,
and there's a mighty fine chance that
the Braves will climax season Of
stupendous upsets and thrilling sur,
prises with clean cut win over the
Athletics.

.LAPP AND SCHAhG
GOWDy AND WHALING
GOOD CATCHERS

NEW YORK, October 10.-In all like
lihood only four men will be called up
on to work at the receiving ends of the
batteries during the present World s
Championship Series between the Phil
adelphia Athletics and Boston Nation
ais. Each club will undoubtedly de-
pend upon the two catchers who have
given such a good account of them
selves all through the playing season.
They will take an important part in
the struggle for as soon as a catcher
dons the mitt and mask of his calling
in a contest he assumes an immense
amount of responsibility. In fact
there is no telling how many of the
games are directed from behind the
plate. In addition to exchanging sign
ais with the pitcher as to the weakness
or strength of the batters, he has to be
quick thinker, keen sighted, always
alert and invariably accurate in throw
ing to head Off the base pilferers.
In this department Connie Mack is
probably the more fortunate in having
Lapp and Schang, both of whom have
had previous experience in Worlds
Championship games. Lapp played in
the 1910, 1911 and 1913 games, each
time on the winning side and this will
be the fourth time his services will be
needed for the retention of the flag in
Philadelphia Although only thirty
years old, Lapp has had lot of exper-
ience during the nine years he has been
identified with professional baseball. He
stands five feet, ten and one-half inches
and weighs about 10 pounds. Last year
he took part in only one of the five
games played for the Championship.
Schang, on whom most of the work
behind the bat devolved in the Athlet-
ic's-Giants series year ago bore the
brunt of the work throughout this
years American League season. Last
year he caught in four of the five
games played in the Worlds Series and
may do the larger share again in the
present contests. He is twenty-four
years old, is five feet, nine inches tall
and weighs about $50 pounds. His ex-
perience in major league baseball dates
back just four years. Ira Thomas the
vereran catcher, is another on whom
Manager Mack could call in case of ac-
cident to either of the two mentioned,
but he has not been in the game much
during the past season and 1t is not
likely that his services will be needed.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-10-10

The Athletics also have fourth catch
er in McAvoy late of the Baltimore In
ternational League team, but it is not
at all probable that he will be called
upon to go behind the bat against the
Braves.
Manager Stallings has two very reli-
able receivers in Gowdy and Whaling
both of whom have been wonderfully
successful this past season. Both are
young men and each has been identifi-
ed with professional baseball for five
years. The success of the team, phe-
nomenal as it was, in landing the Ma
tional League pennant, this year, speak
volumes for the work of the batteries
and the catchers naturally are not to
be overlooked for the parts they played
SO we'll in bringing about the unlock ed
for victory.
Gowdy, who did the lions share of
catching for the Braves during the
season stands one inch over six feet
and weighs 1877 pounds. Whaling who
is twenty-five years, old, just one year
older than Gowdy, also is a six-footer
and weighs 1873 pounds.

Believing that the City of Americas
is facing the most serious crisis in her
history and that it is time for all to put
aside strife and pull together for the

the purpose of insuring the election of
clean business men to Municipal Ofic-

execution of all policies for the good of

government, for the promotion of the
development of the City of Americas,
for the support of it's laws, and espec-
tally for the observance of the strictest
economy in the administration of the
City's affairs.
We believe we are entitled to the
support of all the citizens of Ameri-
Gus in the execution of these policies.
We do not expect to relieve the pres
.ent financial embarrassment of the City
in one year or two years. No mortal
man, or set of men, however great
might be their financial ability, could
do so in so short length of time. We

Before the voice o the secretary OF state was raised in support OF
the eqau1suHrage amendment in Nebraska, sufragists had received
little comfort from the administration. Now, says the Literary Digest
all except those who cannot see Mr. Bryan as anything ut a burden
for ny cause he favors, they should take heart. For the secretaryS
announcements, believes the New York World (Dem), will be worth
man thousand votes in Nebraska; the Washington Star (lnd) De
Heves it will have a notable effect in tine adjoining state OF Missouri
where an amendment is also to be voted o in November; and in the
Nashville Tennesseans COemD opinion it means that I'VE will have
votes for women in all the states sooner than would have bee the
case without his help" True, nobody looks upon it as SC great a suf-
fage triumph as the conversion of the president would be. Nor, OBJ
serves the Springfield Republican (lndD, can MIR. Bryan personally
commit the administration" but it adds, aside from the president, he
far and away the greatest political figure i'll it"
Mr.. Bryan's announcements, so the New Orleans Times-FiCayune
(Dem) explains, twill help the woman-suhrage movement in two ways.
The Nebraskan yields a powerful personal influence. Whether his
personal following has been increased or diminished by his recon
courses as secretary Of state there AN be II doubt that he still num-
bcrs his admirers by thousands, and that what he avs about woman
suffrage will help to shape their views. In addition, other thousands
who oppose Mr. Bryan, but esteem him a skilul and clever politician,
will be apt to accept his espousal Of suffrage as al indication Of the
popular drift, and for that reason may follow him to what this state
ment leads them to consider the popular side"

Nearly every nation in Europe holds upon the reserve list of its
armies every man who has ever seen voluntary or compulsory service
under its almost universal military system.
The census figures of 1910 show $4,000 Austrian, 255OO Hunga--
ian and 1881 Servian men in this country. Russia had a little over
$4,000, While Germany showed the mighty total of 127SNO men of
German birth Italy had $4,000. France 95OO, Rumana $4,000, Bull
garia 10000 and yer Montenegro had $500 men in this country.
Baron Won Reiche, Of the German consulate of Chicago. estimates
that there are 100000 lei in this country o n the German reserve list,
and that each of them is under moral obligation to his flag. The Aus
trin ambassador claims 100000 men o the Austrian reserve here and
subject to call.
From these two nations alone might com a call that would drain
our population of a half million active fighting workingmen.
OF Greeks, Servians, Bugarans and Turks in America rushed back
across the cas- to help their countries in the Balkan war a have
little question that the equal love of the Fatherland would make volun-
teers vie with reserwsts in answer to their native countrys call, and
there is II o doubt that the great ocean liners of German, French, Ital-
ian and English ownership would stagger under the weight of the
martial cargoes going home to fight in the centuryis greatest war.
It is difficult to estimate the effect OF this warlke exodus upon
this countrys labor, industry and trade.
