WORLD SERIES CONTEST OF SURE FIELDING SOX VERSUS
 HARD HIT TING BROOKLYNS
BY LYLE ABBOTT

Will Red SoX experience offset Brooklyn batting?
 Now that the National league has had it's final convulsion and donated a winner, it is time to begin figuring And there is plenty of it going on.
 The fellows who bet on cold figures, and not on lunches and sentiment are putting up pretty attractive odds on Boston. There was a record last night of a huge hunk of ? to 1 dough in Denver There are 71s to money in some of the eastern centers.
 Brooklyn leads the National league batting as club, with an average of 261. Boston was fifth with 245, and such luckless clubs as Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and New York ahead of the champions in that order Boston field ed considerably better than Brooklyn as between clubs of their own leagues, of course. The Red Sox did com munity fielding record of .97l, while Brooklyn's percentage was .965 and they were fourth in order.
 Boston goes into the series with three advantages-cons strictly as club advantages, and discounting luck and jinX. They have had three days more of certainty about the final result and more time to take breath for the big series. They are older players have had more individual and team ex- perience, and know what world series baseball means. They open in their home city on a ball lot in which they have had considerable practice. and play two games there before they have to invade an alien field.

 series of 1916, the twelfth under the auspices of the National Baseball com mission, finds the American league leading in the race for premier base ball honors by the narrow margin of one series. so that a victory by the National league representatives would tie the standing at six series all. Co., ing back to 1905 when the New York Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one in a series !n which every game was a shut-out, the American league standard bearers have won six series and the Nationals five
 Although outplayed in the series to date the National league teams have won more games and scored more runs than their American league rivals. when the eleven ser.es are considered as a whole. From 1905 to 1915 the two pennant winners of the major leagues have met annually in a series of worlds championship games the win ner of the title to be the team which first wins four games out of the seven yearly scheduled.
 Up to the present time but one team has won four games straight, the hold CTS of this unique record being the Boston Nationals of 1914 which de- fcated the Philadelphia Athletics four times in a row and thus brought about the breaking up of what many consider { to be the greatest baseball machine in the history of the game. The New York Nationals and the Boston Ameri- cans figured in the longest series when they played eight games in 1912, Bos- ton winning four; New York three and one game being tie. In 1907 the Chi | cago Nationals defeated the Detroit Americans four games straight but the series consisted of five games, the first being a tie at 3 to when darkness halted the play.
 l Comparing the work of the teams in ! the eleven series to date it will be found that sixty-one games have been played of which the National league clubs have won thirty; the Americans twenty nine, with two games ties The total number of runs scored in these sixty games amount to 412 of which the National league teams have 1 accounted for 2l0 and the Americans l POP The averages for the series are as follows: games per series 6-11; runs per series. 27 ell; runs per game, 3-4.
 For the National league 169 players ! have participated in the contests to 159 for the junior league. The least number employed was in the 1905 series when the Athletics used twelve and the Giants eleven. In 1912 and 1915 a total of thirty -four took part. each contender in those years putting seventeen on the field. The 1905 series also holds the record for the least number of runs made came in the play between the Pittsburg Nationals and the Detroit Americans, the two teams collecting a total of siXty-two runs in seven games.

DR. ROO RESIGNS
 BECAUSE OF ILLNESS TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. - It was said at the Chinese legation tonight that there was considerable doubt whether Dr. Roo would consent to reconsider his resignation as minister to the United States. During most of the year that he has been at his post here he has been in i'll health, and his physicians are understood to be insisting on change of climate.
 The reluctance of the Chinese gov ernment to lose pr. Koo's services is supposed here to be due largely 'o the fact that in his short term as minister he has strongly impressed etate department officials with China's desire for closer friendship with the United States.
