Infield prices for this season have gone down The bull movement has been suppressed, with the bears in charge. The $100,000 stuff has been swept from the market. scattered from Chicago, H., to Trappe, Md. That once star quartet-Baker, Col lins, McInnis and Barry-who used to sing that stirry ditty, The old Oaken Bludgeon," is now a part of the me- dieval history of the game-gone with the forgotten tribes that used to rule.
 No Great InfieIds.
 On the form shown in 150 games there will be no great infield at work in Philadelphia or Boston these next few stirring days ahead. There will be no Baker-Barry-C Collins stuff-no Tinker r-Evers-Steinfeldt combination.
 There will be no combination as po- tent as the Maranville- -Evers couplet Of a year ago.
 The two opposing infields are not weak-but neither are they anything to be sought out as a resting place for surplus supplies of olive boughs and laurel sprigs.
 Merely Normal
 Of the eight infielders who will meet, only one is displaying a batting average above .2SO. His name is Luderus, the mauling Philly. Most of the others are good infielders, but soft and spongy at bat, ranging in the main between .195 and .240.
 Tn a short series they may extermi- nate the cover on the ball. But bat ting up to form against the pitching they will get, the two infields arc hardly likely to reach 200 average.
 Around First.
 Luderus is one man in the PhiIly infield who is likely to be a dangerous factor at bat. He isn't as shifty as Hoblitzell, the ex-Red of old renown, but in the advance dope sheet he is listed we'll above his Red Sox rival.
 There is nothing tempestuous or bubbling about the temperament of the Philly first baseman. A hard hitter over the long route, he happens to be one of those calm, unemotional souls who consider a ball game as being just a ball game, whether there be 1000 or 50,0O0 in the stands. As @ slugging mate with Cravath in the short Philly park, Luderus is more likely to be a vital factor than Hob litzell, who, while better around the bag, isn't enough of a whirlwind to overcome the other odds.
 At Second.
 What the Phillies gain at first with Luderus pitted against Hoblitzell or Del Gainer they more than lose at second.
 With Evers suffering an off-year, Barry Is the next greatest second beseman-next to his old pal Collins.
 Whereas Niehoff is outranked by
New Britain herald., 1915-10-05

lll HIS O"H bN I0g Ats E!vers. Huggins, Cutshaw and possibly one or two others.
 Barry is a star-and Niehoff. while fairly steady and reliable, isn't. Second base isn't even hls camping spot. His regular job was around third-and while Barry has been shifted from short to second, the ex-Mackman is a more versatile type.
 Barry did poorly last fall in the big series after starring in other yearar 90 he is sure to make a desperate at- tempt to wipe out that 1914 deficit. You will find him hustling harder when the bell rings than he ever hustled before.
 And you will also find against the test he has speed and brains in more than average abundance, with the faculty of rising above the normal when the main test reports.
 At Short.
 Beaten back at second, the Philliea regain part of theiI lost ground at short, where in young Bancroft. the rising star imported from the Pacific Coast, they have another Maranville.
 Bancroft has been outbatting his rival, Scott, and Scott, though a fine infielder-one of the steadiest that ever pushed a paw in front of a tounder-hasn't any margin in the fielding game.
 These two youngsters, unless em- barrassed by the magnitude of tie proceedings, should furnish many a fielding thrill. Both can go far and fast in pursuit of the bounding ball, and both are clean fielding types that make observation we'll worth while.
 It isn't overly probable that either will peel the epidermis off the ball to any Bakerian extent, but defensively thy should be leading features of the championship week.
 Gardner Leads.
 Milton Stock is pretty good third taseman, but he isn't a Larry Gardner by one or two strides.
 Gardner on form is the better hit- ter, the better infielder and the more experienced workman in. the smoke drift of decisive warfare.
 Stock has this one advantage-once in a while through brief periods he develops a batting frenzy and pounds the ball with the power of .4QO hitter. Every now and then he falls heir to a batting streak worthy of a Cobb. And even fine pitching in one of these spells won't hold him under curb.
 But for a steady, sure performance, Gardner is we'll beyond him, and de- serves the margin.
 So, as the records and the general play of the season go, the two infields are nearer an average than any por- tions of the two machines.
 Philadelphia has an advantage in. two spots-first and short-whiles Boston has the advantage at second and third.
 The Phillies have one dangerous in-~ field batsmen in Luderus. and the Red Sox have two only a slight less dan gerous in Barry and Gardner.
 Heinie Wagner was a great steady ing influence in the Boston-New York series of 1912, and Barry should exert this same influence at the 1915 meet ing. Whereas the Phillies have no man of the Wagner-Barry type to help hold a machine together and keep keen inspection upon the gen. eral status of affairs.
 In this respect the Red Sox have a distinct advantage.

New York, Oct. 5.-Three scouting Phillies sat in the grand stand at the Polo Grounds yesterday kcter- noon and wished they could do to the Red Sox what the Yankees did.

Nobody cared enough about the Yankees to make a single entry for future ref erence, but unnoted and uLsung they swatted the Carrigan colony twice to 1 in the first game, to in the second. The scores:
