Boston, Oct 12.-In all the fanfare and hurly-burly of the present world B series there are two men who have no part in the proceedings, two who stand alone, unnoticed now, out of the spotlight and apart from all the cheering. They have just finished the worst seasons they have ever known. sc to the multitude they have no place among those who belong.
 Two Greatest Records.
 And yet, in spite of 1915, they have the two greatest records ever made in modern baseball under the present system, records far beyond that of any others now in the game. Bill Carri- gan has won his first pennant. So has Pat Moran. They deserve all the ac- claim they have been getting. But 1t is also we'll enough to remember that Connie Mack has won six pennants and three worlds championships, and that John McGraw has won five pen- nants and a worlds championship, and that when the records of all con- cerned are totalled for future inspec- tion Mack and McGraw will be well in front of any competitive marks.
 One Queer Feature.
 There was one queer feature at- tached to the first four games of the 1915 worlds series that we have never seen duplicated. In at least three of the four games the Red Sox played far better ball, they did better work, upon an average, in the box, on defense and upon attack. Tn three of the four games what breaks there were came Boston's way. Such a com bination as this better ball playing. plus better fortune, would ordinarily mean series of easy triumphs. Yet in the four games the Red Sox scored only seven runs against the Phillies' six.
 Fate Against Cravath.
 We figure the main breaks against the Phillies came. in the two Boston games where Cravath drove out smashes that upon any normal field would have been easy home runs It is true enough that only grand fielding cut them down. But they were home run drives in nine-tenths of all the parks there are, and 1t was his un- lucky fortue to deliver such blows in the one park where the rare speed of Lewis and Speaker would prove fatal to his fame.
 Two Strong Defenses.
 In those first four games more than passing mention was made of the Red Sox defense, which held the Phillies to seventeen hits and six runs in four games-an average of less than five hits and only one and one-half runs to the battle. Yet in these four games the Red Sox totalled only seven runs, an average of less than two tallies to the Gay. A defense that can hold an attack to less than a brace of runs through four contests Is certainly no affair of putty or cheese.
 The Red Sox in the first four games scored seven runs on thirty two hits, most of these hits being hard smashes. They averaged only one run to four and one-ha1f safe blows. The Phillies scored six runs on sixteen hits, re- quiring less than three hits for a run. Not depending too much upon these figures for verification of the dope, the Red Sox haven't the most alert at- tack in the world. It has power and sufficient speed, but lacks versatility

Eddy and Law Liven Up
Princeton SCrimmaQe

Princeton, y. j., Oct 1l.-Those
Princeton men who played in the game
on Saturday were let off lightly this
afternoon, but all the rest of the squad
went through a stiff 45-minute scrim-
mage against the scrub.
The varsity ran through signals for
an hour. however, under the general
ship Of Captain Click. Semmens was
bacl. on the field after an absence Of
nearly two weeks and played left

The return Of Jack Eddy and the
playing of Buzz Law for the first time

less scrimmage Eddy has been out for
ten days. and he celebrated his return
by playing football of varsity calibre.
Time after time he tore around the
scrub ends for good gains and made
two Of the four touchdowns against
them. Last year he was injured in the
middle Of the season and his bad luck
has followed him so far this year, but
II rs expected that he will be a big help
20 the team from now until the last big
game.
Buzz Law was also sent into the
scrimmage this afternoon, and although
still light he managed 10 make repeated
gains through the line. He seems TO
have an almost uncanny faculty for

Changes in
Columbia Lineup

Several changes, amounting almost
to a general shake-up, marked the work
Of Columbia's football squad yesterday.
Nelson Metcalfe relegated three of his
frst-team regulars to the second eleven
and brought up fourth man from the
scrub to take the place Of Simonds, who
was absent.
Eddie Kornsand, who has been out OF
the game for more than a week, went
in at left end in place of Calder. Noble
appeared at centre, winning his place
from Brown after three days on the
second team. Noble went in at centre
last week after Bullwinkle, slated for
the position. had broken his collarbone.
Mobiles aggressiveness probably wild
keep him in the position. despite his
handicap Of weight as the lightest man
in the rush line.
Reeder appeared at right tackle, in
place Of Healy, and showed well. Tackle
is no new position for Reeder, who for
merly starred in the Dartmouth fresh
man rush line. Donoho took Simonds's
place at left half in the backfeld.
