GOLFER SHOULD MASTER EVERY CLUB E

BY constant study of the whole out
 fit, from driver to butter. any golf CT should in course of time achieve 9 handicap of something in the neigh borhood of nine or ten. but if he per sistently allows the cobwebs to accu- mulate on hiss driver and brassie he will, like the lady in the song, never get beyond eighteen With the man who is handy with all his clubs sthe case is different. Given inherent nat ular practice. even once or twice a week sufHcing, he is bound to develop, but to do so he must swear allegiance to no particular. club, his favorite be- ing each one in the bag.
 When man has passed through the various initial. stages of golf he usually begins to devote serious attention to the finer points of the game. and under this head must be classed the short ap- proach. 1f
 When the low handicap player finds himself, say. fifty yards from the green. his aim is to lay the ball within easy putting distance% at the next choice of clubs varies considerably, even among first class players. One man swears by the cleek. another by the mashie. while club makers have devoted special attention to irons for this department of the game. The de- spairing player who is '.off'' his Short game is offered a bewildering assort-
 nent of implements for laying the ball dead from the fifty yard range.
 Practice alone will determine which club the, player may use with best ef- feet for this delicate and telling stroke. Although under ordinary conditions he may stick to one club. he may do well to adapt himself to playing the shot with one or two others. As to the club to be used under ordinary conditions, it may be a rnas1ie. nashie iron. .nid- iron, cleek, digger or niblick.

 This is not an unusual number of victories for 8 great twirler to annex in championship year ors-when his club is in a death .grapple for the flag most of the way.
 Alex Not overworked.
 Chesbro won forty-one games for the Tanks back in 1904. Big Ed Walsh of the White Sox won forty in 1903 The same year Matty put over thirty-seven wins. In 1910 Jack Coombs won thirty three, and in 1913< Walter Johnson won thiPty-s six. So there is no reason for alarm oyer the danger of Alex the Great being overwofi1ed.
 He is a wonderful pitcher. this Grover Cleveland Alexander ZFIe will do his part. but can he prevail over Wood Ruth, Shore, Foster and Leon- ard? In Philadelphia they say "Yes;" n Boston.

TY. COBB probably will lead the
 American league in most every thing this year. He is sure to have the best batting average and base stealing record and incidentally is the best run getter.. Cobb. .therefore, is .ep- titled to be termed, theebest ball player in the league. He has had an excep- tionally good year. because he has not missed any games to speak of. Here tofore Cobb shas been away from his team a good deal for some cause or other, and as a result his team has been weakened.
 Cobb undoubtedly has several years of brilliancy still before him. There is no difference in his general playing now npared with Q few years back. He has not slowed up in any respect, though perhaps his arm is not as scrongSas it used to be, Cobb made the serious Enis ta9s fc sSt94tssA 5ss0t 6fspitGh= ing and unnec cssaary throwing. which

When truly hit the rubber core leaves this club with a gratifying sweetness.
 Again. when a strong wind is blowing it is often advisable to use the cleek, though in this case one may see some clever work done with the mashie. Shots of this nature-fnto a head wind require to be played with great bold ness. Indeed, at one period of the stroke the ball may often be several feet or so past the flag. The force of the wind may then cause it to fall per- pendicularly, and it gv5LH drop dead

Under the circumstances such a shot is not to be thought of.- The ball might easily hit the face of a hunmock and stop dead or else fly off at a tangent. The pitch shot is thus necessary and this may be played with mashie or niblick. The latter club is very useful for shots of this variety, and with it the player can afford to pitch well up to the flag.
 Where the approach ground is flat and no hazards intervene the rIlnue- stroke is to be preferred In playing this shot the golfer has the choice of several clubs. He may kuse a rashie, iron or cleek- A selection is usually

Great Interest Is Shown
 Tn the 1915 Worlds Series

THE coming worlds series is likely
 to prove one fsthe most Interest ing ever played. The outcome of the 1914 engagement has had it's effect, and fandon is on the qui vive of expec- tancy.
 In Boston the games will be played at the Braves new park. and it is cer- tain that a new attendance record will be established. Owner Gaffney offered Owner Lanrlin his National league plant, and the offer was accepted.
 This means that more people will get a chance to. see the games in Bos- ton than2wou1d have been the case had they been played at Fenway park The American league plant is a gigantic one but it is not as large as the Ma tionaI grounds.
 At the opening of the Braves park the attendance was close to 5o,ooo, and it is probable that at least 45.000 peo- pie can be accommodated under worlds series regulations, which prohibit over crowdirg. This will be a new attend ance figure.
 In Philadelphia conditions are not so satisfactory. The PhiIlies' park is not a large one, and the seating capacity, even with every available inch of space utilized. will probably not exceed 1s,- 900. There will be many thousands of disappointed fans in the Quaker City when the sale of tickets for the games
 Shibe park, the home of the Ath- letics, was offered to the PhilIy own CTS, but the offer was refused There would have been no real advantage in shifting the scene of the grounds; Shibe park is not old. but it was not built along modern lines. and it's seat ing capacity is hardly any greater than that of the Phi11ies' park.
 The Athletics park is also less ac- cessible than the Phillies' plant, and fans would much rather go 60 the Ma tional league grounds. It is too bad, howeVa F. that it will not be possible to care for all the PleitadelplliaTs who

man of the tearns or. Stahl, who was first baseman and manager of the worlds champions in 1912.
 It will be seen that most of the Red sSox have had series experience. Five of the regular players and both catch CTS were there in 1912. and two of the pitching staff have been through the
 mill This will be quite an advantage to the Sox in lining up against the Phillies a team which has never won a pennant or been in a series.
 A queer coincidences- is that the Giants. who battled with the Red Sox for the worlds honors three years ago, are now right at the foot of the list in the National league. The Sox came back after three years, but the Giants have been going back instead.
 Another thing is that the same cities

BostOn's Pitching Staff
 Outclasses the Pl1illies'

The Boston Red sox pitching stan -outcIasses that of the Phillies. It is doubtful if its equal has ever been seen. ForN uniform effectfveness through the sweep Of a seasons play its record is astounding.
 Ffve pftchers-Wood, Ruth, Shore, Poster and Leonard-working in reg ular turn, all have averages of 700 and over. No one man was asked to over work himself. There was no need for 1t. The five went right through the year practically on an even basis.
 Against this army, aside from Alex ander, the PhiHfes have little to offer. Mayer, Demarees Rixey and McQuiIIan have shown uD only fairly well in the box.
 twfrIers for the year is .T23: that of the Phfily quintet .573.
 It is not difficult to understand how the Boston club won the flag with tWiFling of this caliber. Not even the slashing attack of the aroused Tigers of Hugbey Jennings could prevail against it. .-
 generally favored to win the worlds title Despite the historic clouting of Frank Baker, pitching has generally decided the big series.
 Of course in a short series itsis possi- blc for one great pitcher to overcome two or threeE good onesf Nathewson demonstrated that fact back i'm 1895, when he shut out the Athletics, with Bender and Plank, in three games.
 shilade1phia5 enthusiasts believe that Alexander can duplicate Matty's feat. They cannot see how the Red Sox can beat Alex and believe that if he wins three games ope of his mates will rise to the occasion and take the fourth and the title.
 Although there has been much talk of Alexander being overworked the past raomth and in danger of cracking, this Is more idle gossip and absolutely un- founded on zact. Why should he be

STANDS OUT ABOVE OTHER PiTc HERS:

WHERE is no other pitcher in either
 major league who has equaled A1exanders record of thirty victories. The star of the Phillies' pitching staff stands out alone over all the other twirIcrs in this respect, and the chances are that when the official averages come out he also will be<found among the leaders in the matter of the small est percentage of earned runs per game made by his opponents.
 Alexander's reputation, based solely on his performances, should be suffi- cient to cause lot of folk to think the Philties will beat the Rod Sox, but he also will tbes pttted again st .nSznery strong hitting team, which may upset things.

cause they are considered better rounded and smoother team. It is figured that the Phf1lies will get no special advantage from playing on their own small field, for the Sox are just as long hitters and will drive against the fences or into the crowds just as often the Quakers themselves.
 On the big Boston field both teams will be exactly on even terms. Every thing will have to be earned there with out any assistance from short fences. It is utterly impossible to hit any of the fences at Braves field. and it is doubtful whether 1t will be necessary to put any stands in the outheld, for the stands hold 45,00O people, and that will be about all who will care ato go to the games.

 ~ HE baseball world is now all
 worked up over the coming series between the Boston Red
 Sox and the Philadelphia Ma tionals Of course views differ on the outcome. as one would expect. but the majority of the critics pick the Boston boys to win A line oh the teams that will play for the title is interesting.
 The Boston team has not greatly changed from that which won the worlds series from the Giants three years ago. The great outfieid is ex- ,act1y the same as that which. helped to hold down the Giants scoring in 1912. with Duffy or Lewis in left, Iris Speak CT in center and Harry Hooper in right. This is one of the fastest and smartest trios that ever played together on the big line, and the three men are 9 power both on the defensive and the attack.
 Speaker is generally considered the best outhelder in the country today from a purely fielding sstandp0int, and Hooper is very close to him. while Lewis is a good man in the garden and an excellent hitter. Only two of the infielders who played against the Giants three years ago remain They are Larry Gardner, at third base and sHeine Wagner. who has been shifted from shortstop to second base on account of the failure of his throwing arm. Wag- tt-o-J O@->@----~-- -~@0~c in the 1912 series, and he is a smart ball player, who may be counted on to do some clever work this year also-
 The new men in the indeid are to be found at first base and shortstop. Ecctt. the short fielder. is a brilliant performer. who was not with the team in 1912. Manager Carrigan isf carrying two competent first basemen in Dick Hoblttzel; formerly Of the Reds, and Del Gainer, once with the Detroit Ti- gers. Hobby is left hand hitter. while Gainer bats from the other side of the plate, and they are used against vari- ous kinds of pitching
 Probably Hobby will be the choice to work in the series on account of being left hand hitter. as Pat Moran iss likely to use mainly right hand pitch CTS though there is chance for Rixey to break into game.
 Behind the bat the Red Sox have the same material as three years ago in Bin Carrigan and Cady, both of whom were in the series of 1912. In the box they have Joe Wood and Collins of the old stan, but the other pitchers are new men In series!
 Hall, Bedfent and O,Brien, who work ed games or parts of games in 1912, are no longer with the club. Neither is Steve Yerkes. the former second base-

will take part in the series this year as were tn1dt last season, but the teams are reversed. Last year it was the Boston Nationals against the Philadel-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-07

l on which the series will be played. The Boston field is the largest in the coun- try, while that at Philadelphia is, the smallest. The element of luck may en- ter largely into the games played at Philadelphia, while it will not play so prominent part In the Boston con- ficts
 It ought to be a very interesting series. for the clubs are both fuII of hard hitters, and it will take great pitching to stop them.
 The general opinion ia that the chances of the Phlllies will depend mainly on the number of games that Alexander can pitch. He is considered and rightly so-as the uaainstay of the team, and there is no very great respect for the rest of the PhiIadel- phia pitching stan in a series of this length and importance.
 If there is a day or two Of rain, SO that Alexander is able to work in at least three contests, the Phillies win have a good chance to cop but tf Moran has to depend on his second string hurlers his is a rather doubtful case.
 This is the first time in the history of the National league that a Philadel- p11ia club has won pennant, and there is great rejoicing in the. quiet village, The Athletics have brought plenty of flags, but the Phfll1es have never be- fore landed. The Quakers are there fore very popular in their home town
 The Philadelphia fans had become rather tired of the Athletics, but they are tick1ed to death at the victory of the PhiIIies, which is something new for them. The Phillies have played to enormous crowds ali season and have made a lot of money for the first time in years.
 It is quite a novelty to see the stands packed to the limit in Philadelphia. but 1t shows how popular Moran and his gteam have become There is nothing especially dashy about the Phillies out side of the great work of Alexander. The team is just a plain, simple com bination of hard workers, well handled by Manager Moran, who has made, e great success in his very first year as manager. The backbone of che defense is the wonderful battery of Alexander and KilIifer, while the attack is led by such men as Crayath and Luderus-
 It is a smooth running ball club. with few individual stars. and its success reflects much credit on(the abilities of Pat Moran. The victory of the Phillies leaves Cincinnati and St. Louis as the only two cities which have never won a pennant in the National league.
