How Connie Mack Foiled Anson

once upon a time-in the days of LONG
ago-"Cap" Anson hammered a ball over
the fence. but refused to advance far
ther than third base. although he was
entitled to a home run. and his team was
three runs behind at the time. Why.
Well. in those days the catcher played
back until there was a man on base. Con-
ME Mack happened to be the catcher
that day and Whitney was the pitcher
for the club opposing the Chicagoans.
Anson figured that II he fingered on third
Mack would have to move up back of the
batter, and Whitney would be forced to
pitch slower. Anson knew that one run
would be useless to his side and he
thought that slower pitching might en-
able his men to stage a batting rally
However Connie foiled the shrewd An
son by taking a long chance in refusing
10 move up until after Pfeffer had been
thrown out at first. Then he took up his
station back OF the batter and Ed Will
hanson fanhed. leaving Anson stranded
on third. despite the fact that he had
made a hOme-run drive

Entire Hilltop Squad
Makes Annapolis Trip
Blue and Gray Eleven Is Pre-
pared for Navy Game
Today.
COACHES EXPECT TO WIN

For a long time the Georgetown Uni
versity football team has been aching
| to hand a beating to the Navy at the
gridiron game. and the scheduled oattle
, today at Annapolis appears to be good
time to turn the trick.
The Middies are to meet their neigh
bors on the gridron today. and there
are quite few who would gamble at
| least a jitney on the guess that the An
napolis schedule-makers are now sorry
they did not move that game forward at
least one Saturday.
At Princeton last Saturday Georgetown
demonstrated that this season 1t is a
power to be reckoned with. The Navy.
on the other hand, is far from joyous
over the condition of the football pros
poets. The gloomy outlook was made
even darker by the poor showing of the
Middies in the practice scrap with the
Catholic University eleven on Wednes-
day. when the Navy had all it could
do to come through by to o.
With a lot of Georgetown scouts
watching closely. the Navy did not un-
cover any advanced open plays. but at
least in the line showed fundamental
weakness that may take far more than
a week or two to obviate. The Navy
line last season was the weak part of
the machine. and again this year it is
the sore spot Unless they show big inn
provement the Navy forwards will see
themselves completely outplayed by the
Georgeown first bulwark. which includes
some mighty husky lads who know how
to handle themselves
Coach Albert EXendine drove the Hill
| toppers through long signal drill yes
terday. and the squad showed to a good
advantage in the handling OF the wet
ball. The entire squad Of forty four
players and coaches will board a special
over the w. B. and A. today at 1890
The game is scheduled to be called at
80. The following will make the trip:

RULES that GOVERN
THE WORLDS SERIES
Players Share in First Four Games
and Club that Wins Four Con-
tests Are Champions.

Philadelphia. Pa. Oct. IA meeting
OF the national commission has been
called for New York tomorrow. At that
time complete details for the world s
Series between the Red Sox and Phillies
will be arranged. Boston won the Amer
lean League championship yesterday aft
ernoon-just one day later than the
National triumph of Philadelphia
through the defeat of Detroit by St.
Louis
The worlds series business that will
confront the national commission is only
a matter of routine. AS is customary.
the worlds championship will go to the
team that scores the first four wins.
Baseball law governs a great many of
the major details such as the division of
the gate receipts.
The players of the contesting clubs
have an interest in the first four games
only. Ties count in their pot, though not
in the championship. Ten per cent of
each days receipts is deducted for the
national commission. which has charge
of the series. OF the remaining 90 per
cent for the first four games 30 per cent is
set aside as a pool for the players. OF
this so per cent is divided among the
winners. The other 40 per cent of the
90 per cent is split equally by the club
owners. After the first four games have
equally the residue after the commits
sion's tariff has been deducted.
Chief public interest. of course, just
now centers upon the scene of the first
battle. For the honor of these the pres
idents of the contending clubs will toss
coin before the commission members
AS last season. two games will be played
in the city that draws the honor of the
opening. Then the rival city will be Wis
tied for two games. If more than four
games are required then from the fifth
game on the cities will alternate up to
six games. The scene Of the seventh or
rubber game always is decided by the
flip of a coin. There is also one excep-
tion or at least there was last year. In
the series between the Braves and Ath-
letics it was decided that in case of a tie
the clubs would remain at the city
where the tie occurred until the draw
had been decided

such a block of seats at games in which
Boston teams have been represented in
every important series for many years.

for them seats selling at s. each. Pres
