bell and the Hon. Will Marlar be
and they hereby are requested to
use all honorable means in their
power to preserve to the use and
control of Coconino county, the
property known as the county
hospital. To further and support
any bill or measure which may be
introduced in the said legislature,
covering such use and control of
said property.
Resolved further; That it is the
sense of this board that Coconino
county would be to great loss in
the event of the enforcement of the
act known as IAN Act Providing
for an Old Age and Mothers Pen
sion, and making an appropriation
thereof" Coconino county having
been to great expense in fitting up
and furnishing said county hospI
tai, also, that in the event of the
enforcement of the above men,
toned Act 2, that Coconino county
would be to further great expense
in making suitable provisions for
our INDECENT poor.
Further; that Coconino county
has a very valuable farm and
county hospital and if compelled
to sell same and turn the proceeds
over to the state, the said Coco
niuo county would doubtless con-
tribute much greater sum pro-
portionately than any other county
in the state.
Be it further resolved, that a
copy Of these resolutions be pre-
scented to each OF the above named
Representatives"

eight players who will probably form the two infields in the opening game are compared. the difference in the averages Ia greater. but the advantage about equally divided. Luderus. Niehoff, Stock and Bancroft have a combined fielding average of .s54 and batting average Of .ao5: the Boston quartet, consisting of Hoblitzel, Barry. Gardner and Scott show a grand average of .962 in the field and .254 at bat.
 Comparing these players. position by position, the figures indicate that Luderus is better hitter and fielder at first than Hoblitzel with the base stealing ability about equal and the Red Soxs sackman holding an advantage in sacrifice hitting, for Luderus average at bat Is .319 to Hoblitzel .2S1 while in the field Luderus averages .991 to Hoblitzel's .9s6. At sec- ond. where Barry and Niehoff are likely to be the leading performers, the former Athletic star outshnes the player secured by the Phillies from Cincinnati In ex- change for former Manager Charles Doon. Barry has batted .27o and fielded .965 this season to Niehoff's .239 and .943. Niehoff is much faster on the bases. hav- ing stolen 19 sacks to Barry's zero in this department of play. Barry, however, has shown far greater steadness in the field and has a better record in sacrifice hit ting.
 At third the fans who witness the series will have an opportunity to compare tho work of Gardner and Stock, for the lat ter is likely to be the choice of Manager Moran, since his record for the sea son shows that he is a harder hitter and better fielder than Byrne, although fig uring in but half the number of games credited to Byrne. Stock has fielding average about 90 points better than Gard ner, but is 14 points shy of the Red Sox third sackers batting ability. Gardner Is superior in base running and is credited with more sacrifice hits, but is apparently less steady in the handling of difficult chances.
 Comparing the records of the rival shortstops, it is seen that Bancroft, the Philadelphia player. has much better average with the bat but falls below Scott the Boston player. in fielding. Ban croft has played in almost all the games of the season and his averages are: Bat ting, .245; fielding .92i. Scott in less than 100 games has batted 194 and fielded .96s In base stealing and sacrifice hitting Bancrofts record shows to advantage over Scott's, while the latter is considered to be a steadier fielder.
 It is perfectly apparent from a study of the seasons averages that both Man. ager Moran and Manager Cardigan have considered their arrangement of the in- fields from other angles than mere bat ting and fielding records alone for har- monious team work and slillful fielding combinations cannot always be expressed or proved by figures.

KS ss sSs$ Philes Preparing For Coming Scrap
PLENTY INFIELD MATERIAL
 FOR RED SOX AND PHILLIPS
Red sox Infeders Slightly Stronger in Hitting But Philes
 Are Better Fielders

New York, October 6.-In the coming worlds series between the Philadelphia Nationals and the Boston Americans both teams will be we'll provided with infield material. All told there are no less than ls players who may be called upon to take extensive positions around the ba SC paths. The Red Sox have seven experi- enced infielders. who by series of shifts, can be formed into several combinations of unusual strength both at the bat and on the diamond. The Phillies while well equipped with regulars. are not as strong numerics fly or in general average as their rivals when the infield squads are con sidei ed a whole.
 This apparent advantage possessed by the American leaguers will not count heavily against the Phillies, provided the two teams are able to go through the series without the necessity of changes due to accidents or illness. Should emer- gencies arise, however, where it becomes imperative to call uopn the reserve forces of tho infields. then the resources of the Boston club would be factor worthy of much consideration in endeavoring to forecast the outcome of the play.
 During the most important portion of tuc IdCc TUT tne Ainerlcdn league pennant, the Boston infield lineup was. as a rule, as follows Hoblitzel, first base; Barry, second base; Gardner, third base; Scott, shortstop. Gamer was frequently used to hold down the initial bag, however, while Wagner filled in at second and Janvrin took Scott's place at short. In addition Barry Is familiar with the duties Of both short and third; Janvrin can hold down third and Scott is not unfamiliar with the duties at second and third
 Opposed to the versatile and inter changeable infield, the Phillies have LuSerus at first; Niehoff at second; Stock on third and Bancroft for shortstop. Byrne is an infielder of calibre ana with Dugey, forms the reserve corps for tho, first line of the Moranites' defense. Byrne has played in a number of games during the past season, showing fair strength at bat and on the field. Dugey, who is the youngest member of the Phillies clan, has figured almost entirely this year as a pinch hitter and is not likely to be called upon to play unless an unusual emergency arises.
 Notwithstanding the apparent superior ity in numbers and veteran material of the Red Sox the playing averages of the two squads fail to show any great advantage one way or the other. The seven Boston infielders have a combined batting average of .258 against the Phil lies .254, while the fielding averages are even closerfi the figures being: Phila- dolphia. .s55; Boston. .963.

result that he is in good shape for the series. Niehoff. whose legs were none too good. Is reported also ready to play.
 The one great mystery that appar- entiy remains to be cleared away Is the condition of Blll Killifer's arm. Ihe big catchers throwing arm went dead several weeks ago. and while ne has appeared in uniform he has not attempted to catch in any of the regu- lar games. Killifer says his arm is coming around all right" but tho skeptics would feel much better if they could see him in action. Burns. who has been doing most of the catch ing in Killifeus absence. has been given good rest. and is again in trim.
 All the Philadelphia players are con- ndent of winning the worlds title. They realize that the Red Sox col actively are great team of players. The Phillies believe they have seen as good pitching in the National league as the American leaguers can serve up to them In the coming series Alexan- der will pitch the first game, and with him in good form they do not see how he can lose What little bet ting there has been on the series SO far shows that the odds that have pre- vailed in Bostons favor are gradually shortening. Some bettors now want even money
 The weather man Is still trying to put damper on the opening of the series He predicts cloudy skies and possibly rain.
 The first distribution of tickets for the series will begin tomorrow morn ing. The management of the Philadel- phia club announced tonight that cards had been mailed to lucky applicants to call at the offices of the club for their allotment. As usual where the num- Der of applications far exceeds the ca- pacity of the ball park during worlds series games. there is much disap- pointment expressed. and some grum- bling on the part of those who failed to get tickets. William F, Baker pres ident of the club. said that in the dis tribution of the seats the management tried to favor all regular patrons of the club. As the grounds seat ap- only 20.000 persons there were many thousands disappointed.

Alexander In Best Form of Season. Cravath Gets 24th Circuit Clout-Distributio of Tickets Starts-Phillies Confident

Philadelphia. October 6.-The Phil adelphia Nationals had some good practice today in preparation for the worlds series games. They wound up the regular playing season by defeat ing Brooklyn twice.
 The team got good batting practice against left-handers in the first game. cravath put his twenty y-fourth home run of the season over the right field wall. There was some curiosity to see if the slugger would equal the major league record of 25 boundary belts made by Buck Freeman in the American league years ago. but the big right fielder did not play in the second game.
 Alexander who Is expected to carry tho pitching burden of the Phillies, worked only one inning today, the ninth of the first game. He merely went in to warm up. and did not ex- tend himself. He Is in as good con dition as he has been at any time this year Pitcher Mayer. who. with Chal- mers. is expected to help Alexander bring the worlds series title to Phil adelphia, relieved Demaree. who started the game. Mayer also took things easy, but held Brooklyn in check. In cidentally, Demaree, who was to be given $500 bonus if he won 15 games failed to get the prize by narrow margin. He needed only one game to win. but Brooklyn batted him hard and he was taken out
