WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

"A fan in Fort Worth. Tex. sends us clipping from Texas paper. which tells how Bobby Stow. the for.
 ner Bridgeport shortstop. is making good with Oakland of the Pacific Coast league. There was a great bat tie all summer between Tanner Of Waco and Stow to see who was the besI shortstop in the. league. At the cIosezo of the season Oakland took both men on a 30 days triaI, the stipulation being that it would have the privilege of retaining both players or turning them back.
 Since joining Oakland Stow has been doing so well that Tanner has been turned back and Bobby retained. When. AI-Texas league teams were chosen this season all the critics cho6e either Stow or Tanner for shortstop Bobby led the league in base stealing with 70 tf1efts, one short of the rec ord made by pugey of the Phillies when he was in the Texas league. The Coast league season closes the last week in this month and Stow plans to return to New Haven in time to coach the Yale basketball team. Our Fort Worth correspondent says Stow was very popular with the Texas fans and they were pleased to see him go higher up.
 Talk about experts not being able to agree on the outcome of the world s series. They can't even agree on the weather for Friday and Saturday in Philadelphia. The government ex- perts in Washington say fair and warmer and in Philadelphia the guessers opine 1t might rain

SAYS POLICE ARE TICKET CHAPTERS
 IN PHILADELPHIA

] Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-Rising above the general wall that has come from fans who have waited many years for a chance to see the Phillies in action in World Series only to be disap- pointed now because they are unable to procure tickets, is the echo of heated discussion in the headquarters of the club yesterday afternoon be- tween President w. F. Baker and Captain of Police Nicholas J. Kenny.
 Charges that certain members of the police department wished to get of speculation are made by President Baker. Capt. Kenny, on the other hand, counter-charges, and says the head of the club knew why there was such a shortage of tickets.
 Reprisals from the police depart ment in the matter of police protec- ton and the guarding of the grounds during the Worlds Series are freely discussed.
 Superintendent of Police James Robinson, whose futile request for a large block of tickets was directly re- and makes no pretense of hiding his wrath.
 I've shall police the streets outside the grounds all right enough during the series,'' said the superintendent after his request had been denied and the heated conversation between President Baker and Capt. Kenny had been reported to him. What we shall do about policing the interior of the grounds is another matter"
 Yesterday about noon Capt. Kenny was sent by Robinson to see Presi- dent Baker and learn whether his request would be honored- The SUI perintendent told Kenny that if Baker would not grant the whole request, he should tell him that the police de- partmept did not wish any tickets.
 The report is that Baker finally of fered to compromise and allow Rob- lnson what he deemed would be a reasonable amount of tickets, but Kenny refused flatly to consider any reduction.

BLACK AND CARL
 BETS ELIGIBLE
 FOR YALE SQUAD

New Haven, Oct. 6-Claude Bla elk and Carl Betts, two of the most valu- able candidates for the Yale eleven. were last night declared eligible by School and will join the playing squad Black captained the freshmen last year and starred in the remarkable cam. caign of the 1914 eleven which re- suited in easy victories over Yale's, Harvard and Princeton class rivals.
 Before he came to Yale his Exeter career stamped him as of AlI-Inter- scholastic caliber. He will undoubt- edly be given a regular position at guard. Betts was regular tackle last season but was trifle light He is very fast, however, and will be tried out at end Immediately. The advent of this pair will make the Yale out look twice as bright as before.
 Yesterday afternoon no changes were made in the team, Bentley again running it at quarterback and Waite replacing Wilson at left halfback. Will son has been taking things easy since his terrific exertions in the Virginia game but will probably resume play tomorrow. Coaches were keenIy dis appointed because the team was com pelled to work in a pouring rain. shortening the practice materially. About fifteen minutes were played, the varsity scoring the only points of the afternoon. From the thirty-yard line Fullback Otis Guernsey lifted the wa 'ter-soaked ball over the cross-bar af- ter the scrubs had held the regulars till third down.
 The soft field prevented either side from ground gaining consistently and Kept the runs down to a small sizes Considerable Improvements Waa shown. however, by the varsity in get ting the plays under way. The ends displayed improved form because of the visit of Johnny Fitzpatrick. The coaches had outlined three days severe practice, in preparation for a. trying bout with Lehigh next Saturday and feel that yesterdays storm Wil1 severely handicap them.

New Haven, oct. 6.4-Many of Fridge ports fight fans have planned to come to New Haven tonight to see the first boxing show in the big arena under the auspices of the New Haven A. C., managed by Bill Brown. the veteran New York promoter and referee.
 Frankie Burns and Jimmy Taylor, the two best bantams in the country, meet in the star bout of.12 rounds.
 The sem1-windup features Kid Burns and Andy Eortez,- two crack light weights, for eight rouns.
 Bill Brown is now negotiating with some of the top notch fighters of the country to appear in New Haven dur ing the winter. Jim Cofey vs. Charley Weinert is one of the bouts he has in mind, while another would stage Jack Dillon, the Man Killer against Bill McK1nnon, the former amateur middte and heavywei ght champion. of Boston.

ki1lifer, Burns and Thomas, are about equal in this respect. while Moran's third eligi ble is an unknown quantity.
 So far as the figures for the sea- sons work can be used for a basis of comparison, however, there is nothing to indicate that much differ ence of ability exists in sthe actual work of the players under consid era ton. Kf11ifer has caught a majority of the games played by the Phi11ies this year with Burns filling in as emergency and relief catcher The former has a fielding average of -973 and batted PAT, while Burns has bat ted one point above KilIifer's average and he1ded four points below. Adams s play for the pennant.
 For Boston, Cady and Thomas have done the major part of the back has handled. the delivery of the left handlers, from time to time. Gady is the best of the trio if judgment can be based on the seasons unofficial averages. Tn something over TO games he has tbatted y277 and helded .976. Thomas, in about an equal number of games, has helded .971 and batted .239. Carrigan has re- ceived credit for playing in a little more than half the number of games that Cady and Thomas have ofnciat- ed in and his averages are: Field ing .976; batting POT.

Baker. president of the club, were placed a this disposal. This box adjoins the one to be occupied by President Wilson, who also will be present at Saturdays game. The mayor received an invitation yester- day from Mayor Curley of Boston to come there on Tuesday and 'see the obsequies'' in the fourth game of the series, which the. Boston executive said would be the last.
 Carrigan told Moran that both he and his players would be pleased to practice on the Phil1ies' field if they arrived in PhiIadelphia in time, but that they had no thought of asking the privilege, for they had expected to put in the final days tuning up at Shibh Park the home of the Phi1a- 5aIDTlia.

JIM SAVAGE GETS FEARFUL BEATING
 FROM JACK DILLON

New York. Oct e-Jim Savage o4 Orange. badly battered and beaten. showed his gameness when he boxed ten rounds with Jack Dillon of In dianapolis at the Broadway Sportiu,E club last night. In the firth round Dillon knocked Savage down for tho count of nine on two occasions but the Jersey veteran staggered to hia feet each time and continued fighting Again in the fifth a blow to she jaw sent Savage sprawling on the floor but he managed to get back on his feet for the remainder of the round
 Dillon won by a big margin. but he did not have the punch to put overi q knockout. The Indianapolis boxer was the aggressor throughout, and. although Savage showed m Euouentary flashes of ,aggressiveness, he was beaten in every round. In the fifth, with the crowd yelling loudly for a knockout, Savage showed his mettle. by climbing to his feet after having bsen sent down twice for the count of nine and forcing the fighting.
 Dillon cut 6aTage's face Ito rfb- bons," and there were several cutg from which blood was flowing when the bout was ended. Savage seem which he has shown recently. and in the cli1lehes hc was always on the defensive and was satisfied to keep Dillon from iIlfiicting too much pun- ishmens. It was a tired Jim who staggered to his corner at the end of the tenth and Dillon was almost exhausted. Dillon weighed 17s 3-4 rounds and Savage tipped the beam at 19G 1-4

PAT MORAN TELLS PHILLIPS SECRETS
 OF RED SOK PLAY

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.---Disapp oint- n1ent was general in the camp of the Phillies, the new National League champions, yesterday because radn caused a postp onem ent of 8 double header with the Brooklyn team. It had been hoped that the regular season here would be completed yes terday, and that the two days inter vening before the ophning of the worlds series on Friday could be de- voted to secret practice in prepare stion for the big games.
 Manager Moran held 9 secret con- ference with his men during the after room, and it was said that he impart- ed to them whatever Knowledge he gained of the Red Sox in viewing their play at New York yesterday. It has been his custom all through the season to confer frequently with his pIayers in secret, believing, he says, that to acquaint them with certain podnss about opposing players and the teams s tactics goes long way toward winning games.
 Applicants for tickets to the games to be played in this city will not know until Thursday whether they arc Fortunate enough to secure the coveted seats. The management of the club annonncedi last nght that notices would be sent out by mail on Wednesday night to those to whom tickets have been allotted, stating how they can be obtained. Thous- ands however, are doone ito dis appontinen because the applications exceed the seating capacity of che park tenfold or more. In order to minimize the possibility of the tickets falling into the hands of speculators it was announced the applicants will have to be identified, before receiving their allotment.

CATCHERS IN BIC SERIES
 ARE VERY EVENLY MATCHED
Cady and Carrigan of Red Sox Had Experience
 in 1912 Games.

New York4 Oct. =6-Qffensively and defensively there appears to be little advantage for either the Boston Americans or the Philadelphia Ma tions in the catching departments, in the coming worlds Series. Both the Red Sox and the Phf1lies have a trio of backstops who are far above the ordinary in ability in this par ticular feature of the game. The American league champions in Man sagerg Carrigan,a Cady and Thomas have three experienced. catchers who are thoroughly at home behind the plate and familiar with every detail of the position. Killifer is the vet eral Of the Phillies' catching force but Burns has shown during the past chief in aI1-rouiad ability while Adams the third string catcher, is young. sters who. in his few try-olts, has given promise of measuring up to the stan dards set by his two superiors in the near future.
 While experience counts for much in the work behnd the plate. it is not always the veterans who shine in the Dig baseball series. If this was ythe case the Americans would have a wide margin of reserve strength since sCarrigan and Cady5 both figured prominently in the fla nous eight game struggle between the Giants and stIae Red Sox in 1912, whereas none Of the PhiIlies, catchers has figured in a. fight for the premier pepnant of the diamond game Thus it can be seen that so far as exper- 5Carrigan and ds Cady, to the PhilIies

 The un 1fre was Hank OsDay. and this, in the eyes of the Windy City fans, added to the infanly of the pro ceedings for Hank was not only a Ma tonal League arbfter, but lie was also a Chicagoan, born and bred on a farm right inside the limits of the H. Hnois metropolis. That he should de- his own league was so inexplicable that the fans were stunned into inae- ztiyity.
 Hank has pulled off some game stunts{ but that was about the gamest of his career. Moreover, he was right as the fans afterwards realized. When Slagle started home from third with the winning run, the ball was in left field. It was thrown to the plate, but it didn't reach there until Slagle had brought home the bacon and was well on his way to the plate Stein fe1dt, the Cub third sacker, was at bat atsthe time, and he was so excited by the teams victory that he got in the way of the ball, which hit his shoulder. Catcher Schmidt, of the Tigers, was thus prevented from catching the pellet, and O'Day called SIag1e out because of SteinfeIdt's in terfeEence.
 A year later Hank made the famous decision calling Fred Merkle out in the game between the Cubs and the Giants which cost the latter club the pennants The New York fans didn't know at the time that Hank had made the decision, and he was safely away before the crowd realized that New York had lost. Good for Hank that he was, too.
