CHASE AND SPE EAkER
 IN STRONG FINISH
Will Probably Win Champion
 ships in Major Leagues

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-It looks as though Hal Chase and Iris Speaker would carry off big league batting championships this year. With the season to end next week, Chase is four points ahead of his nearest competi- tor, now Lou McCarty of New York, in the National, and Speaker is a good thirty points ahead of Cobb in the American.
 Chase has been playing a great game for Cincinnati. Records printed here today, including the performances of last Wednesday, show he has total bases numbering 241, giving him place in the league second only to Wheat of Brooklyn, who is credited with 259. Chase has stolen twenty bases.
 The Nationals base stealing honors seem destined again to go to Max Carey, Pittsburgh, who is leading with 5S. F1ack, Chicago, is ahead in sac rifice hits with 36; Williams Chicago, in home runs with 12; Burns, New York, in runs scored with 99, and Brooklyn in team hitting with .261.
 Leading batters:
 Chase, Cincinnati, .344; Mccarthy Brooklyn-New York, .330 Wheat Brooklyn, .32o; Daubert, Brooklyn. ,32O; Hinchman, Pittsburgh, .313: Hornsby, St. Louis, 309; Robertson. New York, .3O3; Stock Philadelphia, .293; Long, St. Louis, .292; Thinner man, Chicaso-New York, .292.
 Cobb will retain the American league base stealing championship even though he loses the batting title, for his record is now 65 thefts,, far ahead of anybody else's though way behind his 96 for the season of 1915. Eddie Collins has tied Weaver for the lead in sacrifice hits at Al; Jackson is ahead in total bases with 2S3; Pipp leads in home runs with II; Cobb in runs scored with 1O8; and Detroit in club batting with ,261.
 Leading batters:
 Speaker, Cleveland, 1892; Cobb, De- troit, .362; Jackson, Chicago, $40; Strunk, Philadelphia, .315; E. Collins, Chicago, .307; Gardner, Boston, .3O6; Veach Detroit, 300; Felsch Chicago, .292; Sisler, St. Louis, .297; Bauman, New York, .296.

has a bad foot and may not play. Rex Hutchinson, who was counted upon to be Harry's cOstar, is moving too slowly to take advantage of the holes opened by the linemen. Thus far Hutchinson has been a sad dis appOintm ent.
 Harvard has made several changes from the lineup that faced Colby, Gamer has been given a tackle and Horween has been denoted to a sub- stitute position in the back field, with Hitchcock first choice. The squad has heard a terrific lot of talk in the last week and should show better team re- suits.
 Pennsylvania is likely to catch Tartar in West Virginia, which has been working since August 1. The Southerners have one of the greatest backs in the country in the person 'cf Rogers. Last year Penn had all kinds of trouble winning by to 0.

BILL REITERATES.
Carrigan Says This Season is His Last
 Barry for Manager.

Boston, Sept 30.-"When l said recently that this was my last year in baseball" declared Manager Car rigan of the Red Sox yesterday, T meant it. I am through. I would not have stuck it out this year had it not been for my promise to Joe Lannin to take charge of his club another year."
 Carrigan is quitting because the management of a pennant contender is a hard strain on a man. and he does not have to engage in any such nerve racking pursuit. He is worth S75,00O, while his wife is said to be worth as much more.
 The Red Sox leader is manager who has not received proper credit. Tn fact, his work has been ridiculed and belittled, when the truth of 1t Is that he must be numbered among the best managers the game has known. He has built up team work, instilled his players with the necessary game ness and maintained harmony.
 Picking a successor to Carrigan will soon be one of the winter sports of the Boston baseball writers. Already it is said that Pat Donovan, winner of two pennants in Buffalo. is slated for the job. If not. it may go to Heinie Wagner or Jack Barry.

HerzOg and 1916.

Which reminds us that Herzog to- day is the most valuable infielder in baseball, barring no other candidate. He is of greater team value than Eddie Collins or George Sisler, the two American league stars; for Her zog's help to the Giants is beyond all expression.
 He has shown his ability to play wonderful ball at second. third and short. And he has shown more ex- tended hustling qualities than any ball player we ever saw on the field Sir: Speaking of books that golfers should read, what about the follow ing for diamond stars to peruse in leisure moments?

METERS SENDS ENTRY
Son of Former King of Cinder Path to Perform at Berlin, Oct. 7-PIant to Enter Distance Runs.

The hearts of the committee in of the St. Joseph's Young Mems Ath- letic association were gladdened last evening on the receipt of a letter from Bernie Wefers. Jr.. son of the famous speed king of years ago, who will appear at the games at Berlin Fair grounds on October '. Wefers will participate in all of the dash events, and his presence will no doubt create much interest. It was through the hardest of endeavors that the youthful fier who bids fair to emu late his noted parent on the cinder path was secured Wefers is at present a student at Fordham and has been displaying wonderful form during the past summer. In a re- cent race he hit the string at 10 seconds flat. winning hands down.
 Assurance of the appearance of the Holy Cross track team which in cludes Andrew c. Kelly who electri- fled the followers of the cinder path sport early in the spring, and who has been meeting with phenominal success has also been received In 
 at Newark, N. J., Kelly finished third in what was considered the greatest galaxy of sprint kings ever entered in 100-yards dash event.
 Although nothing definite has been learned from Ray Morse of the Sa- lem Crescent club, the committees en- certain hopes that the dusky flier vii! acquiese to the invitation to partici. pate in the coming meet: With thre! such stars as Wefers, Kelly and Morse entered in the sprints, the crowd should be treated to the great est exhibition of speed ever displayed in this state
 Another star of fame who has sent his entry in, is J. w. Plant of Long Island, recognized as the distance king, who has been "cleaning up" right and left during the past season. Plant will be seen in the events of a mile and further and with such formidable opponents as Sandy Evans and Jenkins of the Salem Crescent club, a pretty race should be the out come.

BUT TWO MORE WINS
 NEEDED BY RED SOX
''Babe" Ruth Applies White Wash
 Brush to Tanks

Boston, Sept 30.-The Red Sox won another game from the Yankees here yesterday, and expect to clinch the American league title today. They can de> so if they defeat the Yankees again today, provided C1eve land can hold the White SOX to an even break. If the Red Sox can cash enc more victory the best Chicago can do is to tie them Two more games will finish it absolutely for Boston.
 Babe Ruth, the Red Sox's burly left handler, not only wrecked the Yankees, but also shut them out with five hits, winning by the score of to 0. Joe Gedeon made three of the hits jolted out of Ruth and Magee got the other two. The rest of the Gotham crew went hitless The score:

St. Louis, Sept. 3O.-Roger Horns by, the brilliant young third baseman of the St. Louis Nationals. is the greatest find of the 1916 season. Ac- cOrding to St. Louis baseball experts he is the best third sacker in the National league. In addition he is one of the heaviest batters in the parent baseball organization. Horns by had his first season in a league in 1915. when he played short for Denison in the Western association. He made a good impression on Bob Connery, scout for the Cardinals, and was bought by the St. Louis club early in the spring for his first league season for delivery in the fall.
 When Hornsby showed up in St. Louis in September a year ago he looked anything but promising. He was thin as rail, weak looking, had bad position at the bat, acted like an amateur in the field and could

St. Louis Sept. 30.-Detroit punched hits off Weilman in the fourth and eighth innings yesterday and beat St. Louis in a fast game, to i. The locals Outhit Detroit, but except in the eighth could not get hits when they meant runs, and in almost every inning men were left on bases.
 Tn the eighth inning singles by avan and Paulette, who batted for Weilman, with a sacrifice fly by Rumler hitting for Miller, gave St. Louis it's only run. Detroit got two runs in the fourth on singles by Dyer and Cobb and a double by Veach In the eighth Young and Spencer singled, but Miller let Spencer's hit get past him, Young scoring and Spencer taking third. Spencer scored on Weilman's wild pitch. The score:

not hit a lick. Every one said that Connery had made a mistake in buy ing him.
 During the winter of 1915-16 l1ornsby slept twelve hours day and fed himself like 0 milk fed chicken on sweet milk. He changed his style of hitting from a crouch and a chOked bat to a perfectly upright stand and a full swing with a long bat. When he appeared to join the Cardinals in March at San Antonio he weighed ITO pounds, thirty pounds heavier than he had been in the previous fall.
 He started whaling the ball in prac- tice. He kept on whaling it in regular league games. He is hitting well over 300 and has a number of long hits to his credit. He hits all pitch CTS, including the great Alexander.
 Hornsby cost St. Louis $500. An expert valued him at $10,000 recent ly. He lays his improvement to much sleep and milk diet.

FAULKES BADLY BEATEN
Park City Champion Hits CoIored On-
 ponent With Everything Except Water Bucket-Buddy Never in It.

New Haven, Sept 30.-Young Me Auliffe, of Bridgeport, clearly out pointed Buddy Faulkes, the Water bury colored featherweight, in the feature bout of 15 rounds staged under the direction of the National HcAuliffe earned honors in every round with the exception of the fifth when his colored rival made a short rally and carried the fight to the BridgepOrter
 Only the remarkable gameness of Faulkes enabled him to go the en- tire route. In the second round the crowd was taken by surprise when McAuliffe shot a volley of rights and lefts to Faulkes body that sent the latter down for a referees count of three. Faulkes. in apparent distress, rose to his feet and was greeted by another fusilade of blows Before the round closed, Faulkes had made connections with the canvass eight times. McAuliffe, in his over-anxiety to land a knockout rushed Faulkes to the ropes and deliberately threw his somewhat lighter opponent to the floor.
 The poor showing of Faulkes was a big surprise. Only once or twice during the bout did he display that Old-time form that has made him a terror in the featherweight division. Usually fast on his feet, Faulkes last night displayed a brand of slow-foot- edness which is seldom seen by boxer of his weight. His punches also lacked steam while he had no for midab1e defense to cope with Me- Auliffe's singing rights to the. body. All through the bout the fans mar yelled at his fonderful stamina, es- pecially after that stormy session in tho second round. Faulkes complained of sprained ankle which proved a great handicap.
 McAuliffe, in the best of condition, was master of the situation through out. At infghting the Bridgeporter was far superior while he always had the better of the argument when Faull<es saw fit to swap punches. Me- Auliffe had several good opportuni- ties to put Faulkes away but when the crucial second came, he got over anxious and excited, many of his swings going wildly.
 From the second round until the eleventh McAuliffe piled up many points on his opponent. Tn the elev- enth McAuliffe dropped Faulkes to the mat with a hard right to the stomach, followed by a right to the jaw. FaullSes lost no time and sprang to his feet at the count of two. De- spite the fact that Faulkes took con- siderable punishment in this round he stuck it out. His phenomenal re- cooperative powers held him in good stead until the end.
 Faulkes was a badly beaten boy. His left eye was closed early in the fight, while he submitted to great punishment on the body. An old cut over McAuliffe's right eye was opened early in the fight. Beyond this Faulkes did no great damage to the Bridgeporter. .,.-

Downstairs and Up.

Early in the season, for the first three weeks, and then on through June, July and August, McGraw could rarely find a pitcher capable of last ing out five innings of any one game. This list included Tesreau, Perritt and Benton, with Schupp occasionally tossed in.
 In game after game these were shrapnelled from the hilltop and driven to cover. Now. over a record breaking stretch lasting for a month, they are all unbeatable. The same men are there with the same arms. The same men that couldn't last five innings are now lasting five weeks. And yet there are those who look to the consistency of the Grandolddope.

The 1912 Hero.

Some one has referred to Joe Wood and Christy MatheWson as the 1912 world series heroes. Not precisely. The 1912 world series hero beyond any debate was Buck HerzOg. He not only batted 400 or more, but he saved the Giants day after day by his spectacular fielding.
 But for Herzog the Giants would have been beaten to i in that series. As it was they carried the engage ment to eight games. Herzo's work in that historic quarrel was on a par with the play of Duffy Lewis last fall.
