Good Tally, Considering
Golfing Conditions
Today
WORTHINGTON NEXT BEST

SHAWNEE E-ON-DELAwARE, Pa, Oct.
Z-scores ruled decidedly high in the
qualifying round Of the fall tournament
of the Shawnee Country Club here today.
A heavy fog over night and an over
cast sky this morning rendered the
course very wet and slow. necessitating
a late start, and they did not finish until
almost 2 o'clock.
]. C. Parrish, Jr.. of the National Golf
Course, Southampton, l.. l., turned in
the lowest score. with an 50, and, con-
sidering the conditions of the going"
this was decidedly good. Going out he
took AZ strokes and coming in he did
even better with 40. E. II. Worthington
was second with IS. Going out he played
remarkably fine golf and he reached the
turn In 80 strokes. Coming in he was
not quite so steady, three skies and a
seven somewhat marring his score, and
he took as strokes for the second nine,
or IS for the Is.
r. S. Worthington played good, con-
sistent golf, except on one or two holes,
and he reached the turn in "A strokes,
and duplicated the score coming in, giving
him an 49,
Alec Coles, of Shawnee who won the
second 16 at the recent Whitemarsh tour
nament, completed the list of those who
did better than 80, with 4S going out
and "A coming in, thereby nosing out
r. S. Worthington for third place.
Although. one of the shortest on the
Shawnee course, the Binniekill, on the
18th hole over the water, was the shot
that got most of the contestants into
trouble. Several players who came to
grief here were compelled to withdraw.
This fall tournament is the fifth affair
of the season that has been held at
Shawnee, and this is a record for even
this on course for one season. Early
in the summer the women competed and
a little later the professional tourna-
ment was held. The open meeting was
followed by the Pennsylvania champion
ship, and then came the annual invitation
for the Buckwood trophy.
Tomorrow, when match play begins,
handicaps will prevail in each sixteen.

WISHES HE COULD TWIRL
By "sMoKY JOE" WOOD
Pitcher for the Boston Red sox.


NEW YORK, Oct. THE Red Sox will
win the 1915 world championship. 1 am
confident of that Why shouldn't we win?
Most of the team are veterans Of the 1912
baseball battle royal that landed the Red
Sox at the top of the heap.
I'VE have won the pennant In the
American League. Baseball fans know
that the American League is a much more
difficult aggregation to lead than the Ma
tional League. 1 would give every
cent I have made in baseball this year
II could go into that game tomorrow,
were I sure could be in as good form
and deliver the same service 1 did In
1912, when we won the championship.
IT am not out of the running by any
manner of means yet, but I'd like to be
assured that 1 could do as well now as
l did three years ago.
1 believe the Red Sox have the advan-
tage all around the Phillies. The one
man we will have to look out for is
Alexander. Our infeld and outfield is
superior to those of Philadelphia, and
believe our pitchers are better than
theirs, with the possible exception OF
Alexander.
The Boston team is in fine fettle and
trim. We have no doubt at all about the
result of the worlds series.

The World Series Roundup
No. 4.=The Autopsy

Graphing with the worlds series dope
is one of the most thankless assignments
ever forced upon a noncombatant.
If you pick the winner you've merely
made a lucky guess. If you pick the
wrong club you're four parts boob and
six parts bonehead.
II you pick neither club you're staller.
The best you can get is shade the worst
of it-no matter what happens.
In the Summing Up
Pat Moran has no idea as to which club
will win-and neither has Bill Carrigan.
Neither has Iris Speaker nor Grover AL
exander
But It is at least possible to present the
dope just as It stands, and from this
dope advance an opinion as to what
should be- Which brings us up to the
evidence-viz.:
enough advantage either way to work up
a debate. .....
Second.-In pitching the Phillies have
one great star-and tho Red Sox have the
better balanced stan.
Third.-The two infields are fairly well
matched.
Fourth.-The Red sox have the better
outfeld by a number of degrees.
Fifth.-The Red Sox have, on an aver
The Better Club
The figures, plus observation, show the
Red Sox to be the better club-the best
club in baseball
over the 154-game route there could be
only one answer. over the short worlds
series route there can be two answers
without any upset being attached to the
dope.

Sox margin in other ways, there is Col

Who Will VIM

The dope, piled up in one conglomerate
mass, favors Boston to win in a series
that will go to six or seven games.
But the dope doesn't give Boston any
easy canter. 1t gives the Phillies good,
healthy chance-a much better advance
chance than the Braves had last fall
Alexander, plus a trihe the better OF the
breaks, may be enough to put the Phillies
safely through. But on complete form
Boston has the edge. although the series
is almost sure to go six games before the
issue is decided-and possibly to the full
seven-games span.
This meeting should be the toughest
battle for supremacy the October festi-
val has known since 1912, when Giants
and Red sox put in eight wild and woolly
scrimmages before the ultimate answer
was returned.

on many occasions. But It is a matter
OF having the entire universe that doesn't
happen to be engaged in trench warfare
arise and say: TITS up to Alexander to
go out and win this series alone"
No one man has ever mad so much re-
sponsibility tossed his way. Press and
public together have been talking moth
ing but Alexander for many weeks. No
mention of the series has been made
without Alexander absorbing the bulk of
conversation. This series has been put
up to Alexander far more than the 1906
series was put UP to Mathewson-for

York. on paper as well as on the field,
in every way with the Mackmen. For
the Giants then had such stars as Donlin,
Devlin, Bresnahan, Gilbert, Dahlen, Mer-
tes and others around their prime.
Different Case
But most of those today who believe
the Phillies will win admit the general
superiority Of the Red Sox machine.
They are backing the Phillies through
Alexander alone. They are looking to him
to win three games and turn the trick.
Ordinarily this would be enough to put
an eternal jinx on any pitcher. The great
work expected from Wagner in 1908
against Boston put the Big Dutchman up
in the air and crimped his effectiveness.
The super-star stun expected from Cobb
in 1907 and 1908 had the same effect upon
the Georgia Ghost
When a contender knows that every
one is expecting him to do wonder work,
when any one man is touted as the big
star of the show. he is put under a heavy
handicap.
Alexander knows that II he fails the
chances for his side of the argument are
over. He knows that II he loses one out

Boston's way.
If. under these conditions. he can still
work at normal speed he will be an even
greater wonder than he has already
shown himself to be.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

In these days, when women travel and
go to business much as man does. and
when the suburban housewife has many
interests outside The home, a good,
practical skirt, that has smart lines and
is vet neither too wide nor too narrow
for practical use, is a thing greatly to
be desired.
This pattern of a skirt is just the
thing for busy woman. 1t fastens in
front, which saves much time in dress
ing and much wear on the nerves, and
1t can be made with a finished top, so
as to obviate the necessity for belt
The skirt fits around the hips and
flares at the bottom, and is intended to
be made up OF stiff linen, crash, khaki
any meoi UNI we Ell ght or thick wooden
material. corduroy or velveteen 1t is
not a pattern for a dreSsy skirt and
this should be borne in mind. The
dressy skirt is built on quite different
lines. although these lines are good for
all general purposes. such as an in
formal call. shopping, walking, morn
ing wear. golfins, tennis and the usual
pursuits that a woman INDUCES in
around her home.
If more style is wanted, then trim
the skirt with braid, for braid is
par excellence, the trimming for the
coming months. Buttons, too, will be
very largely used for trimming pur-
poses. and, in this case. they serve the
double purpose OF adjoining the skirt
and fastening it.
For those people who do not want to
use the slashed opening at the top. a
simple. straight opening is arranged
Tor either the back front of the
skirt: The pattern is susceptible of
supplying the ld-fashioned placket
which, with the modern snaps that now
come to fasten it, will not flare open

New Designs in Skirts.

The widths of the new separate
skirts vary to quite degree, depend
ing upon the material used. Simple
tailored skirts of heavy fabrics aver
age from two to two and a half yards
in width, while some dressier skirts
measure three yards. They escape the
ground from three to five inches. SIM
pie skirts are in pleated designs, with
the pleats placed at the side, back or
front, or in clusters in side or box
pleats. Modified circular skirts are
worn. as well as skirts shirred on at
the waist line with the fullness at the
sides and back. An outside belt at

teriai. sometimes extending down the
sides. forming pockets. Some skirts
have two belts, one at the normal
waist line and one slightly below. All
shapes of pockets are used, some being
embroidered or trimmed with braid
Among the dressy designs are the
two and three-tiered skirts. some in
redingote effect and others with a
slight drapery suggestion. Skirts of
serge with independents of satin or
taffeta are smart. as well as skirts
of serge, gabardine or broadcloth. made
in founce effect with taffeta or velvet
bands. Combinations of plaid and

usually have collars that are high and

Many suits and coats have collars that
can IT, worn either high or low. Chok-
ers or chin collars are of fur or velvet.
Military collars are much seen. Large
revers and shawl collars are now a
thing of the past, especially on fur
coats. The fronts of these coats are
made in plain finish or with a side
fastening with large fancy buttons.
The collars are eithe" high and en-

Animal trimmings are used on smart
fur coats. Contrasting trimming bands
are much used to finish the bottom
edge. but the trimming in this case is
omitted from the sleeves. and the col
lar matches the garment.
The newest type of dress is the prin
cess. This idea is carried out in a
PRACTICAL way by having the front and
back panels in long, unbroken lines,
with q belt suggestion over the hips.

combination with braids and the lat
