youngsters who got trial here this
fall with him at the training camp In
the spring.
Judge. of course, has position as
sured, and Jamison. too. will have to be
given every consideration before he Is
sent back to the minors. But Barber
and H. Milan, not to speak of Kopp and
Sawyer. are pretty sure to be at the
training camp in March. though, of
course. there may be some sort of
deal with the Buffalo. club which gives
it a right to some of the surplus ma
terial Griffith may have by next spring.
Jack Bentley appeared yesterday to
be much improved pitcher. The fact
that he displayed control was most en-
uraging, and in the seven innings he
worked he was hit for only two scratch
hits and walked but single man. With
good support he would have shut out
the Mackmen, as it was an error that
gave them the only run they got off
him.
If Bentley has improved. as it would
seem from yesterdays performance. he
is sure to be of great value to the Griff-
men next season. He and Harper will
give the local team a couple of mighty
good left-handed twirlers, who, be-
cause of their age, will give the club
several years of good service.

more money could have been gotten
for the players. 1t seems a short,
sighted policy to remain on the small
Philadelphia National grounds. where
no more than $1,000 people can be
taken care of.
Everything in the way Of compli-
mentary tickets for the world series
has been cut to such an extent that
there is sure to be a lot of feeling
against the Phillies next year. and in
a provincial city like Philadelphia it
may count whole lot.
What spilled the beans was the Lam
min demand that the Boston Rioters
get their seats and his threat that
there would be no series unless his de-
! mand was complied with. This was Il
grandstand play on the part of the
Boston magnate. and yet it was com
piled with In order to do that lot
of Philadelphia people had to be de-
MED the privilege Of seeing their
champions play for the world title, and
as a result there is going to be lot
of growing in Quakertown next sea-
son and for some time to come.

Myers Proves a Puzzle
to Griffmen in Second

If Myers is the sort of a pitcher that
he proved himself to be against the
Nationals in the second game yester-
day. then Connie Mack has at least one
good twirler boxed up for next season.
Myers was an enigma to the locals.
He was hit clearly but once, the other
bingle being a safe bunt.
Behind him his team played error
less ball. probably because no difficult
chances were offered, SO effective was
Myers. What few chances the locals
had to score were spoiled by the lack
of hits at these occasions. Myers fan
ned eleven and walked five.
The Athletics scored in the second
on Shanks' wild throw, a force ont a
passed ball and couple of outs. Then
Bentley pitched clever ball until the
eighth, when he was taken out to let n
pinch hitter start a rally. This did not
work. and Boehling was then put ON
the mound. He had no sooner entered
the game than the visitors increased
tnelf lead from one to four He walked
Perkins, the first man to face him.
Myers sacrificed, and then Schang hit
the right field fence for a triple. only

limit Strunk was safe on a little tap.

second, and while Oldring was thrown

Early Lead of Locals
Overcome by Mackmen

A three-base hit by Schang started
the game, Schang scoring on Strunk's
long sacrifice fly.
The Nationals went to the front in
their half, when they scored two runs.
After Judge had been retired on hard
hit ball to first, Foster singled. H.
Milan walked and then Barber and
Jamison came through with singles and
two runs were over the plate.
The visitors tied it in the second.
Kopf started the round with hit.
He stole second and after Ayers had
famed Damrau Lapp doubled against
the right field wall, sending Kopf home.
Matters stood at a tie until the fifth,
when a walk by Henry and singles by
Judge and Foster netted tally. In
the sixth the visitors again tied the
score on Kopfs single and Damraus
hit on the hit and run, which sent Kopf
to third, from where he scored on
Lapps sacrifice fly.
In the seventh the undoing of Ayers
took place, the visitors scoring three
runs and cinching the game. Schang
hit safely to begin with, Strunk sacri-
feed him to second and after Oldring
had flied out McInnis singled and then
Kopf was walked and Damrau followed
with a hit which made the total for
the inning three.
The locals got run in the eighth,
when Foster singled and II. Milan
doubled over Schang's head. The
score:

BY J.. ED GRuLo.

There has been considerable change
in the last few days in the odds Of
fered by those who wager on world
series games About a week ago the
story was printed that the Boston Red
Sox were favorites in the series and
that it looked like good bet at 10 to
10. But this price has been greatly re-
duced since then, and reports from
Philadelphia are that the best one can
get if he wants to back his judgment
that the Phillies will win is even
money.
Betting, of course. indicates nothing
in base ball, so far as results are con-
cerned Last year, for instance. there
were some bets made as good as to
that the Athletics would win the series.
1t is perhaps needless to recall what
happened, but the chaps who took the
short end are willing now to pick the
Phillies to win.
There was certainly a whole lot of
Improvement in the playing and pitch
ing of the Red Sox yesterday, but that
was to be expected. However. the
New York team is not to be compared
with the Phillies. hence the good show
ing of the Sox in the games against
the Yankees does not necessarily mean
that the Carrigan forces are in their
best form.
In fact, they did not hit any too well
against pitching which has been
touched up lively during the regular
season, and it is the general impress
sion that the Sox are In batting
slump.
That Fred Clarke, the late manager

public in general was shown when, on
the night of his farewell dinner, a table
was filled with kilograms and "a letters tiers
in base ball, and expressing regrets
that he was leaving the game.
Clarke was not only a great ball play
er and manager, but an ideai character
on the field, and 1t is indeed hard
blow to the sport that Clarke has left it.
His successor will not be found in

The managers of both pennant-win-
ming teams are catchers. Carrigan has

owner Baker, too. deserves credit in
selecting Moran after he got rid of
Doom. at which time Moran was but a
coach with the team, and no one but
Baker had ever figured on him taking
the management.

Killifer's Condition Doubtful.

The question whether Bill Killifer
will get into the series was still in
doubt today-that is, as far as the gen.
eral public was concerned. His lame
arm was again examined by a New
York expert yesterday. If Killifer can
not go behind the bat tomorrow Moran
will be compelled to send in Burns.
What difference this will make in the
pitching of Alexander is hard to tell.
The great twirler has been used to
having Killifer on the receiving end.
but Burns has worked well with the
Nebraskan in the few games he has
caught him.
The Boston Red Sox. who end the
American League season in New York
today, will arrive here late tonight,
and will, in consequence, have little
time for final practice. The team, how
ever, is reported in good trim, with lit
tie need Of further preparation.
Manager Moran has invited Manager
Carrigan to use the Phillies' playing
