KID WILLIAMS MEETS
Dutch BRAN7 TUESDAY
Bantam-weight Champion Is Pitted
Against Tough Proposition in
Brooklyn Battler.

Baltimore. Oct. One of the great
est bantam weight boxing contests ever
staged will undoubtedly be witnessed
in this city Tuesday night, when Kid
Williams, the bantam-weight champion
Of the world, stacks up against Dutch
Brandt, the well-known Brooklyn Ter
ror and generally credited with being
right near the top of the line in the
ba a m weight division. The bout is
set for ten rounds and the boys will
weigh in at lis pounds. ringside. There
will be no trouble on this score, as both
lads have big forfeits up for weight
and appearance.
Brandt is known as a slugger from
his heart, and in the one match when
he faced Williams, he furnished the
champ with decidedly rough going, al
though the Kid was generally given
the decision by the newspaper writers
who were at the Brooklyn ringside
when the setto took place. On that oc-
casion Brandt took the place Of Young
Solsburg upon one days notice, yet he
put up wonderful bout. He claims
that had he been trained he would have
won. and naturally asked for a return
go. Conditions have been such during
the past year that Harris has not been
able to see his way clear to give Brandt
bout.
Several thousand racing men are in
the city attending the sport of kings
now going on at Laurel, and the New
Workers to a man will be pulling for
Brandt.
Manager Harris has arranged sew
eral other bouts for next Tuesday and
the affair promises to be an excep-
tional one in local puglistic history.
The Lyric, where all the big musical
events are held, has been hired for the
occasion.

Yesterday was the day for the COM
pletion of the regular schedule of the
Home Club Inter-bureau League tennis
matches. Rain Friday interfered. how
ever. and a few of the matches have been
POSTPONED until this week. Reclamation
has won the championship. but the sec
ond place position will probably not be
settled until the last postponed match
shall have been played.
Much enthusiasm has been shown by
the various teams of the league during
the past season, and the venture mas been
considered successful and bespeaks an
even more interesting struggle for tennis
supremacy among the bureaus of the In
terror Department next year.
Following is the standing OF the teams:

The scoring record was made on Oc-

the Giants a 13 to . beating in the
concluding game. That smashed the old
record of IL to ). made by the Athletics
on October 20. 1910. against the Cubs in

The juiciest melon ever cut by the
World Series winners and losers was in
that memorable 1912 series. The Red
Sox players. divided a total of s16. 1iG.SI
and the losing Giants got s5l. Il. The
smallest receipts were from the 1903
series when only a trifle over $4,000
was taken in. although the attendance
was over 10000. That was because the
regular season prices prevailed.

Speaker is the brightest star of the Red

in runs scored. hits. and in stolen bases.
Whitted. of the Phillies. however. is close
up to Speaker. Whitted, who has played
twenty games less than Speaker. has
stolen % bases against 90 for Speaker.
That would make them about equal in
base stealing skill.
The so-called "Hippopotamus'-Cra-
vath-has scored s. runs In Jas g1mes-a
showing far superior to that of Lewis
and almost equal to that of Hooper. And
Cravath has stolen II bases against only
IA for Lewis.
In hitting power the clubs are neck
and neck. The Red Sox average 81 hits
per game and the Phillies 81. The count
is in the Red Sox favor in this connection
solely because the pitchers are included
in the figurs.
Alexander, of the Phillies, is hitting
about 100 points under Joe Wood.
In runs scored. however, the Sox show
ed superior. They have averaged almost
one more run per game than the Phillies.
which is a remarkable showing.
If the rival clubs maintained in the
world series battling their run scoring
average during the regular season, it
would spell doom for the Phillies. But,
fortunately for the Phillies. that never
has been the case.

RECORD
MAY BE SMASHED

New York. Oct. 2.-the fracturing Of
the records for high single game attend
ance and receipts-those are about the
only marks the coming World Series
combatants can shoot at. The perform
ers in the other years since 1903 when
the World Series began have hung up
some records that never can be beaten
and others that never can be equaled.
The Red Sox. by using the new Braves
park, probably will smash the single
game attendance mark that was made
in New York on Ostober A. 1911, when
Ss,2s1 fans paid s77.35s to see the Gaints
win a to l victory over the Athletics
But only by such a procedure does it
seem possible that any record busting
can be done.
The new park of the Boston Nationals
seats 1880 normally and may be increas-
ed to 5000 before the series begins.
With the Hub City delirious with
baseball fever every seat undoubtly will
be sold. The receipts ought to total
over $4,000.
the Red Sox-Phillies series will establish
a new record for total attendance and
total receipts, simply because the Phil
adelphia park will seat only about
1900 normally and about 1900 with
the extra seats Installed for World
Series purposes.
The record for attendance, as well
as the record for receipts, was made
during the 1872 series between the Red
Sox and the Giants. The series went
eight games. one being tie. and in every
game except the last, the big parks
In New York and Boston were jammed.
The total attendance at that series was
2sl sol and the total receipts $3.50, 40
THAT was an average attendance Of
over 81, 900 per game and average receipts
OF nearly $4,000.
One thing that Is certain about the
series It cannot be played in new record

The Call of Florida

This is the title of very at
tractive and interesting pamphlet
issued by the land department OF
the Flagler System, and was writ
ten by Richard II. Edmonds, editor
and proprietor of that well known
and reliable publication, The Man
ufacturerS Record, Baltimore,
who, in this account views Florida
from an industrial, practical and
romantic standpoint, as well as its
Incompatible climate and attrac-
lions for winter or a permanent
home.
He gives a few statistics that
show in striking manner the
progress of the state since 1900.
In 1900 the resources of the ma
tional banks of the state amounted
to SO, 642, 1903; these resources now
amount to about $60,000,000. In
dividual deposits of the national
banks rose from Sc, 435 900 in 1900
to $32, 035, 900 in the latter part of
1912, while the deposits in other
banking institutions rose to 3d.
ia, 900 in 1900 to $29,6S3,000 in
1912.
In the last twelve years there
has been a gain of over 1000 miles
of railroad.
The value Of factory products
rose from $36,SO0,000 in 1900 to
$90,000,000 in 1912; farm pro-
ducts from 100000 to $43,-
100000; forest products from
$1S,000,000 to $34,000,000; min
eral output from $2,300,000 to
100000.
From 1900 to 1910 Florida s
population increased 424 per cent.
and farm land values during the
same period increased 203 per
cent; the value of farm buildings
increased 144 per cent. farm ma
chinery 1875 per cent. the value of
Florida twelve leading crops not
including citrus, increased 126 per
cent.
Mr. Edmonds also says that
Florida is prominently the citrus
fruit center so far as the quality
of the fruit is concerned, that it is
the market garden of the country,
and after reciting a number of it's
vast and varied industries and
strategetic location for foreign
commerce, says "And yet, not
withstanding the fact that all
these things be true, Florida s
greatest asset is its climate. "
Florida is drawing to itself
thousands of the better class of A.
merican citizens, men and women
of education and character, the
very cream of population from
nearly all states in the Union.-
