pitching. Neither did Cravath and Luderus
 But Brooklyn has a better long dis tance range. Wheat is a 300 batter and at times a sIugger of robust qual- ities
 Daubert is 300 batter and one who is also inclined here and there to hit for extra bases.
 Stengel has outbursts of slugging and one of the most dangerous men in a pinch is George Cutshaw.
 Wheat, Daubert, Stengel, Cutshaw and Miller not forgetting Chief Mey- CTS, would be more likely to slash in a run or two than Cravath, Luderus, Whitted and Paskert.
 As for the Dope When Brooklyn and Philadelphia were struggling together down the stretch, it was hard to figure, via the
 dope, whether either had chance to beat the Red Sox out Here is a ball club with three great pitchers at least in Ruth, Leonard and Shore.
 Here is a ball club which for two years, at critical moments of play, crushed two rivals of such caliber as Detroit and Chicago-one with Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Bob Veach, Harry Coveleskie, Oscar Witt and Donie Bush; the other with Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Gus Felsch, Jack Tournier and Ray Schalk. Now, to our extremely limited woy of thinking, a ball club good enough to overpower the Tigers and the White SOX in at least six critical spots l through two years, was sufficiently virile to beat anything we were able to see in Brooklyn and Philadelphia
 It was for this reason that we could
 never figure where the outcome of the Brooklyn Philadelphia rush had any distinct bearing upon the world series future of the Red Sox. It may be that Boston, with her four world series triumphs, dating from 1903, is about due to absorb it under the right and left ears, about | three or four inches above the right and left shoulder blades. Queerer things have happened. But we are ST Ieaking of what is likely to happen not of any cut and dried result /, which only the scores can show some time next week.

MIGRANTS ABSENCE / CAUSE OF COMMENT
Many Think Matter Unimportanti
 HerzO6 at the Helm

New York, Oct. 5.-The action of John McGraw, manager of the New Y ork Giants, in leaving the playing field at Brooklyn while his team was being defeated by the new National league champions on Tuesday brought forth many statements from high of- f1cials in baseball and others inter- ested in the case. The general trend of opinion seems to be that McGraws action, while regrettable, was done in a fit of uncontrolled temper, and was really less magnitude than many would believe. McGraw was not with Giants yesterday at Brooklyn, Charley Her zog, second baseman, doing all the visible managing. Statements of in- terest made on the case follow:
 President Ban Johnson of the Amer, lican league characterized McGraw's remarks as Outrageous" and said that if this situation had arisen in the American league he would have dealt with it in anything but lenientl manner. When asked if the NationaE commission would take up the matter, Johnson said that it was up to the i National league to handle it. eff they are not big enough to handle it, they should go out of business" he said
 Garry Hermann, a member of the commission, was reticent regarding the affair "This is the first I had heard of the incident" he said. "h had thought it was a joke Now I be- lieve it was a fool act"
 w. D. Perrit. the New York pitch CT, whose action in winding up" while a man was on first incensed McGraw. said: "If there is any im- plication that I helped to lose the game you can give it the lie for me. That game cost me s100. I had bet that I would win 20 games. was out to win"
 John D. Foster, secretary of the
 New York club, expressed the opinion
 that McGraw would finish out the sea-
 son. MT Foster declared it was inn
 possible for the New York club to
 have deliberately lost the game with
 Brooklyn, but said that McGraw was
 thoroughly aroused by the indiffer- ence of his men.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 5.-The University of Michigan won the open yesterday, defeating Marietta College, 38 to 0.
 Coach Yost of Michigan made nu- merous substitutions during the game, getting nearly his entire squad into action. Michigan's ground gaining was done through continuous smash ing upon the Marietta line, with Capt. Maulbetsch, Sparks and Raym ond taking turns at scoring. Marietta used open plays throughout and sue cessfully executed a number of short passes. Numerous attempts by Mari etta at long passes, however, failed.

GIANTS DEFEAT
 BROOKLYN SUBS
PhillieS ClinCh Second Place by
 Heavy Hitting

Brooklyn, Oct. 5.-The Brooklyn Robins, champions of the National League, took up the task of playing out their schedule at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon. They acted as hosts to the Giants, but excused the regulars from action, with a few ex captions, and sent in a squad of rockies to fight off the team from the Polo Grounds. It was not surprising that the Giants won. The score was ' to 3.
 Charles Lincoln Herzog donned the managerial robes for the afternoon. John J. McGraw folded his tent and slunk silently away after firing the shot that has staggered the baseball world. None of the several players knew anything about the whereabouts Of their leader. Those who would venture a statement were guarded in their talk, but it was evident that many resented the efforts of McGraw to lmpugn the honesty of the game. The score:
 | r. h. e. New York 1111O01O2-7 IA 2 Brooklyn ..0O201OO00-3 2
 Batteries: Sallee and McCarty Cheney, Galore and M Wheat, O. Miller and Dede.

As some one so aptly said a day or two ago: "EVery cloud has a silver ining.'
 "Yes," some wit retorted immedi- ately, 'and it's an i'll wind that blows nobody good.'
 The tautness of this 1916 National league race, while leaving the situa tiun a big complex and harrassing 6 number of folks, has also had one lining of solid gold.
 And for this reason:
 The Reason Being
 For the last eleven seasons, dating from 1905 on, it has been our melan choly duty to take the two winning clubs and compare them, player for player. Having completed this jaundiced task, it has been our even more painful duty to read the comparison of some twelve or fifteen others in order to observe the general drift of things.
 This, for eleven years, has practi- cally spoiled the last two weeks in September for us each year. And the last two weeks in September are gen. erally too keen and bracing and sun filtered to be spoiled.
 Yet this man-forman comparison was one of those jobs that had to be done, requiring about two weeks to cover all the waiting ground.
 This season we have been freed from this depressing task for the sim ple reason that with only two days left to play it had not been finally de- Cided beyond the. so-called peradven- ture of a cinch whether Brooklyn or 1 Philadelphia was to pick up the task thot ttc.hI in md that New York and Philadelphia 1oozled in 1912, 1914 and 1915-the task being nothing more nor less than to beat Boston club in a world se- ries championship
 No Difference We might have gotten around the job by comparing the Red Sox with both Robins and Phillies, since the : two latter clubs have shown them selves to be closely akin to the 5O-5O variety.
 Brooklyn has led Phila adelphia most of the year, but to even Up this count Philadelphia turned in through Sep tember and beat Brooklyn in seven of the last eight games.
 This in itself would have been suf- fcient unto the dope. For we have LII ot, lo'o' 1elIl V Cou1lI, where the INeu Sox beat the Phillies four out of five Then we have this September's count where the Phillies beat the Robins seven out of eight. These scores, of course, would mean nothing at all in a new series. But being the only things available they could have been 1 used easily enough in an emergency if an emergency had arrived. Mean ing, of course, that strictly upon the merits of the dope the Red Sox had 1 something on both contenders Brooklyn and Phila deiphia. Could Brooklyn make better stand 1 against the Red Sox than the Phil 1 lies We are a trifle inclined to think i they could. They have no Alexander, but outside of Alexander they have a better staff. CoOmbs and Rube Mar quard have been over the world series 1 hurdle before. They have both faced l the big October fire. Coombs has 1 been in three world series, and so has 1 Rube Marquard. And both have 1 shown fine stuff in their last few | starts.
 | Alex they were through. The Brook 1 lyn staff, with Marquard, Coombs and l Smith, Pfeffer or Cheney, would have a far better balance.
 Another Feature.
 Last fall the Phillies had two slug gers-Cravath and Luderus. No one
 else was expected to hit Red SoX

WORKOUT ON BRAVES FIELD
Red Sox Pitchers and Regulars Play
 Ten Inning Practice Game For Big
 Series.

Boston, Oct. 5.-W. F. Carrigan, manager of the Boston American League baseball team, put his men through a light workout yesterday afternoon on Braves Field, the home of the Boston National club, where the worlds series games in this city are to be played. The squad was divided into two teams and ten in nings were played. No attempt was made to keep score. All the regular. pitchers were sent in to work for an. inning or two, and batters were givcIN plenty of opportunity to hit the ball in order to accustom the f1elders to judging fly balls in the sunlit spaces and the shadows of the park.
 Captain Barry was second baseman of one of the teams. but his injured hand is still weak and it is not bs-. lieved that he will figure in the worlds series, Janvrin, who has been at second in Barry's absence, is expected to play the position.
 Today a team of Red Sox players play a benefit game with the Phil adelphia American League team. The proceeds will be turned over to the memorial fund for John H. Gaffney, a former National League umpire. Captain Barry will have charge of this team, which will be composed largely of substitutes. Manager Car rigan will give the regular team am other light workout this afternoon.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The White SoX defeated the Cubs in the first game of the city series yesterday by to 2. The total paid attendance was 17,250, more than $10,0O0 being taken in at the gate. Of this amount the play CTS will share $5,803 and each club will receive S1,934.
 The White Sox, present holders of the title, made a total of nine hits, all of which were singles. Two CT TOTS by the Cubs were potent factors in the south side victory. Big Jim Vaughn started for the Cubs, but was driven from the mound under a show CT of hits in the seventh inning. Claude Hendrix took up the burden, but was only fairly successful.
 Reb Russell, while hit rather hard, managed to keep the bingles scat tered. The Cubs were able to do lit tie with men on the paths, as Rus- sell invariably frightened in the pinch es. Russell famed six batters and allowed only one base on balls.
 Jack Ness and Buck Weaver each garnered two hits, while Wortman, Zeider and Yerkes also made two bingles apiece.

Tanks Take Two From Washington and Go Into Fourth P1ace-Sen- atOrs Drop to Seventh

New York, Oct 5.-The American
 League season of 1916 fickered out
 gently on the Polo Grounds yesterday
 when the Tanks took a pair of mild games from Washington and earned the right to occupy the fourth seat on Ban Johnson's band wagon dur ing the winter. The Senators turned up their toes by scores of to and 5 to l.
 Early in the season it was quite a habit of the Donovan boys to smear their opponents in double headers, but this habit was left behind when the big slump came in St. Louis last August.
 Donovan's team is the first Yankee club to finish in the first division since 1910, when Stallings and Chase pi- loted the old Hilltoppers into second place. The club fell to sixth under Wolverton in 1912, and since then has been gradually ascending one peg at a time. In 1913 the team finished seventh under Chance, and in 1914 was tied with Chicago for sixth place. Donovan took hold of the club last 1 year and finished fifth, and this wear ! Bill climbed a peg higher. At that l rate the team will be back in second l in 1918.
