American Leaguers Win in all
Inter-League Series This Yea,

ment of the game to the BROOKLYN
| team. An effort is being made to
frame Sherrod Smith as one of the
heroes of the pitching staff. Admit
that he pitched q good game and you
/ will find that Ruth distinctly outpitch-
ed him, had better control, and wax
/ ed stronger as the contest loomed
/ larger. We called the catching staffs
even before the games started and In
mechanical ability this proved to be
4 the case, while the games were on, but,
the Boston catchers displayed more
baseball skill in every game than
! did their opponents. Daubert at first
t base for Brooklyn as we'll as Merkle
for the same team were failures and
Hobby didn't miss a point. Cutshaw
at second was a weak sister, and,
while Janvrin for Boston was not as
valuable as would have been Jack
Barry. he was still good enough to
stand out over Cutshaw. When 1t
comes to sizing UP Scott and Gardner
as against Olson and Mowrey we
would respectfully refer you to our
earlier article on these men and you
you will find that our prediction was
accurately perfect, except that it may
have been just trif1e better than we
i had prognosticated.
These men are singled out, because,
"~' 10y iS"ir q popuLdT metropolitan
writer and baseball expert has often
said, 'it is the infield, really, that
turns the trick in a short series
through a season for that matter-but
especially in short series" Your at
tention is called to this particular ele-
ment of strength in the Red Sox be-
. cause you may recall that one of our
earlier articles dwelt particularly on
the strength Of the Boston infleld and
the manner 1t would show its force in
the big series. None could tell what
would happen to a ball hit to the
Brooklyn inf1elders, but, a ball that
started toward a Boston inflelder was
already tieketed for some route and
every man that witnessed any Of the
games knows full well that the su-
periority of the Red Sox inf1eld was
the great point Of difference easily OBJ
servable. In the outf1eld the Boston
gardeners showed their class, and, the
pitching staff comparisons will be
found In the record to show that the
Boston fingers, especially under fire.
held their heads and controlled the
situation in such a way that showed
them to be the better campaigners.
1t was the case of the skilled me-
chanic against the ordinary man hold
ing his card. 1t is just the same sort
OF comparison that you will see in
mechanical arts. the fellow who pays
attention to his business. becomes a
proprietor. an employer, while the
one who makes use of his spare hours
seeking enjoyment, rather than study,
stays in the ruck and has to keep on
plodding day In and day out in order
to get the necessities of life. It Is
class against mass, and wherever the
two combat class invariably triumphs.
Carrigan'S bunch Is aging. Perhaps
this will be their last victory, but,
they point the lesson that makes the
road easy for newer managers and
younger players Just as well as 1t
shows the way to the younger genera
ton who have earned their right to
show their cards, or, to. those struggl-
ing ambitiously for that right.

Ripersides Play Strong Newark
Stars Tonight; E1ans On Squad

One of the strongest basketball
teams that have ever come to this
section of the universe centered about
Perth and South Amboy, will op-
pose the Riverside combination on the
knights of Pythias hall in South AM
boy tonight. The Newark Stars have
reputation, warranted to throw a
scare into the hearts Of the Rivie team
and their hackers.
Wac Twing, who has been chosen as
the sixth Riverside, will not be able
to get into the game tonight, nor will
he be at the hall. Because of the
monster celebration at Rutgers Col
lege in New Brunswick, living will
remain there for the festivities. In
his place, there will be a new face
among Riverside men. Harold NJ.
Evans. physical director of the high
school, has been trying out with the
Ieiversides, and will be with them to-
night. He is a probable choice for a
permanent berth with the team. Ev-
ans has had all kinds of experience
with basketball teams, at Springfield
Training School and with others.
This will be literal second meeting
of the Stars for the Rivies in the OIL
den days in this city, met and defeat
ed the Newarkers by a close score.
At that time, Mickey Lang, long ia
nous as one of the most capable
basketball men in the state, was a
member of the team, but was unable
to play in the Riverside game.
Frank Baker, Ned Thorne and
Eposito with two other crack men
from the metropolitan city will be in
the line UP, They will come to the
game in automobiles and are planning
to give the younger Riversides the
battle of their career

LEADERS SQUAD
PLAN FOR SEASON

With the active season of gymnas-
tic and athletic work at the Y. NJ. G.
A being taken up, the Leaders squad
will meet next Wednesday night to
plan for the coming season and for
the election of officers. The Leaders
squad has issued a challenge through
William Hoy to the older business
mems class for series of indoor base
ball games.
The meeting of the Leaders squad
will be held at 1890 o'clock in the
physical directors Office. It is hoped
that all members of the squad will be
present, as there are numerous mat
ters of importance to come up for con-
sideration, and the election of officers
for the current season of gymnastic
will be held. The program for the
work of the Leaders will be taken up
and assignments will be made to the
various classes which they are to lead
on the floor. The leaders duties con-
sist of the education of the various
gymnasium classes on the apparatus
and in gymnasium feats and dances.
They compose the gymnastic team,
for whom an ambitious schedule has
been arranged, and the members are
the most proficient athletes in the as
sociation.

class, stars at the game of indoor
baseball. The game forms large part
of the exercise and recreation of the
members Of that class, and they have
developed a very proficient staff of ex-
perts at the pastime. The challenge
embraces three games, the first to be
played on Saturday, Oct. %, in the
gymnasium.
The track squad of the association
held a session of practice in the gym
last night. There were large num-
ber of the members and candidates
for the team present and they were
put through their various feats and
events by Captain Holmes Oliver and
Physical Director Pew.
Volley ball will be taken up again
in earnest in connection with the gym
nasium classes. and there has develop
ed lot of enthusiasm for the game,
with the likelihood of several tourn-
aments being run off among the class
es and divisions this season.

ed standard expected of the team
The Michelins gave them a very close
tussle, largely because they were not
in the condition that is usual with
them. The Amboyans have peen
working out, however, all week and
feel better conditioned for tonights
game than they did one week ago.
1t is probable that the whole Riv-
erSide crew will be used in tonight s
game, as Captain Allen wants to get
them into action. Allen will use the
original and only RIVE combine In
the first part, but may inject Evans
into the pastime later, If occasion per-
mits.
Hank Thomas, whose eye at the
foul line has always been keen and a
good scoring factor for the Rivies,
was away off last week in the Niche
lin game, and has been kept at prac-
tice all the week, in an effort to i'm
prove his aim a the free line. 1t

tween that and the big game Of the

RED SOX STILL
WORLD CHAMPIONS

Boston, Oct. 13.-Boston is recover
ing from its celebration Of the victory
of the Red Sox over Brooklyn in the
worlds championship series and the
winning of the pennant for the fourth
time. The deciding game was won by
to score.
Nearly $4,000 happy fans cheered
the conquerors and after the game
paraded around the field, headed by
the Royal Rooters' band and Joe Lam
min, the man who had the nerve to
sell iris Speaker for $4,000 last
spring, confident that his Red Sox
would repeat last years triumph.
BrookIyns Helpless at Bat.
The Brooklyns were helpless at the
Lat in the final game. Ernie Shore let
them down with three hits and would
have shut them out had 1t not been for
a passed ball by Cady, which let Cut
shaw score in the second. Behind
Shore the worlds champions played
with the same briihancy they exhibit
ed all through the series.
The Brooklyns also made poor show
ing In the field, and they were so cas-
lily disposed of that the game at times
became slew and uninteresting. Two
bad errors by Olson in the third in
ming were directly responsible for two
runs, which put the Red Sox SO far
ahead that the rest Of their task was
easy.
What Players Divide.
Pfeffer pitched well under the trying
circumstances, but with Shore fnvinci-
BILE the big Brooklyn boxman's efforts
went for nothing. Bosten's great ball
club deserves its honors, and the
American league, from the playing
point Of view, is supreme.

games attendance were 1890. The
receipts were $S3,s7S, of which the

New York, Oct. 13:-Aside from
the interest which always centers in

Princeton. Cornell, Dartmouth and

the east, Illinois university and Col
gate university will hold the atten-
ton of football followers when they
meet tomorrow afternoon at Urbana,
Ill. This will be the first meeting of
Illinois and the husky fasteners,
who have been considered for some
time one Of the casts most powerful
reasons why it should be counted first
in football. Last year Colgate went
through the season with only one de-
feat. In fact, the team was not
scored upon save in it's final game
with Cornell, which 1t lost by a top
heavy score. The Army and Yale
teams were two of its victims. I'LL
nois split the honor of being big nine
champions last year with Wisconsin,
SO the east and west will be sending
two of the most powerful teams
against each other. Lehigh, which
hasn't done anything remarkable so
far. will be Yale's opponent tomor-
row, and Harvard will battle a south
ern team, North Carolina. Cornell
has Williams for it's entertainment at
