QUIET BEFORE

LuII In Baseball Circles Before the
First Big World Series Crash
Which Comes To-

THE PHILLIEs ARE IDLE
Boston Red Sox Have Still Left Over
Game With tho Yankees-Bet-

staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. Things were
rather quiet today-baseba1lically
speaking. 1t was the lull before the
storm that will break tomorrow In
Philadelphia when the Phfllies and
Red Sox come together in the crash
that will be heard round the world.
In New York the Red Sox We're
slated to wind up hangover schedule
with the Yanks. In Philadelphia, the
Pills were billed to become more ac-
quainted with their playing plat in
preparation for tomorrow's festivities.
Bill Carrigan decided to play to-
days game with the Yanks to get the
practice, believing that more benefit
would be derived from a regular game
than from treking down to Philly to
be introduced to the Pills park. Yes
terday was field day for the Ameri-
can league champions. AS soon as
pitcher was started. and showed he
had the stun. he was jerked out and
another shot into the breach. Shore.
Leonard. Wood and Mays all worked
the first game and all pitched shut-out
ball. Babe Ruth worked the final game
and bad little difficulty going over.
Ruth's working removed all POSSIBLE
ity that he will work in the first two
games OF the series and now 1t looks
like Shore and Leonard to face the
Fhils tomorrow and Saturday
Joe Woods case is somewhat Of a
mystery. The smokey one confded a
few days ago that he wouldn't be able
to work. yet he took his turn against
the Yanks and displayed highly cred
table brand of chucking. Members OF
the Red Sox say they don't know
whether Wood will be able to work or
not. 1t Is not Impossible that Carri-
agn has emulated the football coaches
and sent out few bear stories.
The weather promised to be clear
and cool for getaway day According
to the gent who manipulates the wind
market. tomorrow's tilt will be played
meath straggly. sickly sort of
sun, with cool breezes predominating.
Betting today was practically at
even money along Broadway. The
Red Sox were favorites in some iso-
lated spots, but never more than ten
to eight was offered on their chances.

Pitchers.

CUSTOs oooA 0AN'
DUTCH LEONARD q Generally
conceded to be the best southpaw in
the game. Came to Boston several
years ago. and always has been q
brilliant performer. Hung up the best
record in the American league last
year for effectiveness, as he allowed
only one and fraction runs per
game. Has been one OF Carrigan's
most dependable pitchers this sea.
son, finishing with an average OF
over 700. some critics have select
ed Leonard as the man to face Al
sxander In the opener, although the
majority favor Shore.
GEORGE FOSTER-One Of the
smallest and most effective pitchers
In the American league this season.
Much Of the Red Sox success this
season has been due to this dimin.
utive mound man. He, has worked
In thirty odd games, Of which he has
won twenty. Practically certain b.,
will face Pills in one or more OF
the battles. -
ERNIE SHORE One OF the latest
pitching nnds, and good one. Shore
came up from the old Baltimore
club, when Jack Dunn sold out, AMI
won regular berth right away. He
has been one of Carrigan's premier
pitchers this season, and is favored
In some quarters to pitch the opener.
This year he won about 20 games.
His 10 defeat OF Detroit In that IL
inning tussle in which the Red Sox
really won the pennant will long be
remembered.
BABE RUTH-Like the three 9TH
er Boston pitchers. Ruth has been
one of the most successful chuckers
in the league this season-a 100
workman. Ruth is a left handler, and
besides being pitcher Of far more
than ordinary ability, he has the
distinction OF being the best batter
among the pitchers In the league.
He hit above 800 this season.
.@RAY COLLINS-Collins has had
varied career-last year. he won a
lot of. games and was rated one of
the best CHECKERS in the circuit, brt
has fallen down this season. He has
worked IN only a few games, split.

VEAN. GREGG-Gregg is veteran
OF the old Cleveland team which
made such good showing in 1913.
Has worked in few games this season,
and is not expected to get fling at
