TORONTO MAY REPLACE SENATORS IN AMERICAN LEAGUE Washington Has Not Been Interested
 in Baseball for Many Years.

It is runored that the Toronto club of the International league is likely to replace Washington in the American league.
 ''The matter has been seriously dis cussed for more than a year." admit ted club owner of the American league.
 l.. Conditions in Washington are very grave, however" he continued The capital city has not been interested in baseball for many years. Indeed, it never was a major league city, in my estimation. At one game this season there were only two dozen paid ad- missions.
 "The Senators were in the fight most of the way this year. yet they played to crowds that would make a minor league magnate weep. Something must be done. And that something, it strikes me, should be a change of scenery"
 It is known that Toronto has been anxious for major league representa- tion for nor ethan a year. Perhaps the boon would have been granted long before this time if the European war had not developed. The war was serious dra wback to amusement en- terpriseS in the Dominion. but in spite of conditions in Canada baseball still

 of Boston, undaunted by defeat or by the thousands of their rivals, struck up the famous ''TesSie'' song and march and soon the park was filled with parading battaIions. After a of the two clubs met in mid field and following and interchange of cheers, goodnaturedly bombarded each other with cushions.
 Sensational Play Missing.
 The demonstration made up in part for the lack of the thrilling features which lifted the first two contests out of the rank of ordinary baseball con- f1icts. There was missing in the third game the tenseness and sensational individual play which dominated the preceding clashes at Braves Field. Brooklyn jumped into the lead early in the contest and was never headed, although the Boston club crept up to within one run of tying the score in the cosing innings. Neither was the game marked by super excellent base ball, but Brooklyn won and with hope that the team would repeat tomorrow it was entirely sufficient for their sup porters. In contrast with the Boston games, that of today was played in cool, crisp weather and overcoats were necessary for comfort to the spectat- ors in all but the sunny left field stands.
 Coombs Felt Himself Slipping.
 Jack Coombs, already a veteran of two worlds series with the Philadel- phia Athletics, came in for unstinted praise both for his splendid twirIing in the early innings of the game and later for his self -abnegatiOn in re- questing to be relieved when he felt himself slipping and realized that to remain in the box would endauger de- feat for his taem- mates.
 Until the seventh innings Coombs held the Red SoX to six hits and two runs, but when Larry Gardner lifted the ball over the right field wall for

BROOKLYN WINS SAVAGE BATTLE
Red So Forced Bow to Superior Playing in Third Game of Worlds Series-Coombs Realized Himself Slipping and Asked to be Reieved-Foster Replaced Mays-Rob- bins Take Early Lead-Brooklyn Rooters Give Big Dem onstration.

New York, Oct. 10.-FIrmly en- trenched within their own grounds. the Brooklyn Nationals turned upon the Boston Americans today and wrested victory from the Red Sox by a score of 4 to in the third game of the worlds series.
 Brooklyn Proves Mighty.
 True to their predictions, the Su- perbas, playing at Ebbet'S Field, prov ed far more formidable than when under the spell of Boston's cold dis dain. Twice deprived of victories after thrilling battle at Braves Field, they finally rose in their might this after noon and with the plaudits of the home fans ringing in their ears they batted out victory with savage vigor. swinging their bludgeons with such effectiveness that neither the pitching staff nor the stonewall defense of the Red Sox could hold them in check. Hits rang off their bats with the snap of deadliness of exploding shrapnel and while the invaders made a determined resistance they were forced to bow to the superior playing of the winners.
 Fans Go Wild.
 As a result of Brooklyn's triumph, their supporters joy and hopes reach ed great heights and the victory was followed by one of the most extra ordinary celebrations ever seen upon a worlds series battlefield. Hardly had Stenge1 clutched Lewis towering fly for the final out of the game than thousands of rooters came pouring on to the diamond and outfields, where they appeared to be carried away with the enthusiasm of conquest.
 Men and boys, with here and there a feminine companion, capered and danced about with joy, while the bands were gathering for the march around the park. With the first notes of march music the fans formed in long lines and once under way began a pa rade that gathered in enthusiasm and numbers as it progressed. It wound in and out in imitation of the college snake dance while the more sedate of the spectators cheered and yelled. Flags and banners were hurled into the

DARCY HAS LONG
 STRING OF TRiUMPHS
Australian Boxer Has Defeated Many
 Notable Boxers.

Les Darcy appears to be one of those fighters you often hear about but seldom see. He is not only the first middleweight since KetchelPs time to go through the whole list of his rivals without meeting with a re- verse, but he seems to have all the requisites of a regular ring hero.
 Darcy's advent has made it unnec- essary to go back a score of years in order to point to a regular fighter. Darcy fills the bill as well as any Of the old timers. He is the first star ringman in years who has not lost his nerve after attaining a certain amount of success. AS a general thing when a boxer reaches the top he does not care to take any more chances, no matter how daring he may have been in the early stages of his career. Dar- cy is not that kind of a man. Ap- parently his one desire is to tackle the logical opponent in every case, which means the toughest. He wants to con- tinue fighting instead of turning show stopper but a fighter who always is willing to fight. without beating about the hush.
 Darcy now has beaten every middle weight of note except Mike Gibbons, and his packers are doing their best to inveigle the St. Paul crack into a match. There is no particular reason why he should not rest nhis laurels and leave Gibbons alone, for the latter holds no title. But Darcy will not be satisfied until he has disposed of ev- cry possible rival who might dispute his claim to the middleweight cham pionship.
 Stanley KetchelI was the last of the reckless matchmalIers. While Jess Willard and Johnny KiIbane are s1- preme in their respective classes and therefore cannot be said to be dodging any one there are very few prominent boxers in the ring today who are going out of their way in search of the toughest opponents to be found
 Ketche1Ps disposition was such that he refused to be restrained by the ad- vice of his managers to go slow and pick the easy ones. He always want ed to be doing something worth while.

ATTORNEYS S-AT-LAW
cARRIGAN PITCHED MAYS
 ONLY AS A CHANGE
The Fact That the Teams Must Play in Boston on Columbus Day Satis- fies Hub City Fans.

Boston, Oct. 10.-Supporters of the Boston mericans who were unable to follow the team to foreign fields to- day found cause for satisfaction in its defeat by the Brooklyn Nationals. This satisfaction lies in the fact that Brook Iyn'S success insures further world Se- ries play in this city, as the teams must now return here for the fifth game on Thursday. which is Columbus Day, a holiday.
 Appreciating the sturdy batting by which Brooklyn forced victory for the first time in the series. Red Sox fol- lowers nevertheless showed no concern over the fate of the local team in the remaining games. Betting odds re- mained unchanged and Brooklyn back CTS were as scarce as on previous days.
 Tn the crowds which choked News paper Row and other points where bulletin boards were exposed and which attended in goOdly numbers the halls where detailed play reports were flashed from. the field few words of doubt were voiced. "Carrigan pitched Mays only as a chance. The experi- ment failed. We still have the ad- vantage so why worTy." was the way one fan expressed it.
 Interest in the progress of the game extended to high places.
 Governor Mccall received a tele- phoned report, inning by inning, and Mayor Curlcy was informed frequent ly of the score.

a home run Coombs realized that he was losing his cunning. His team mates urged him to remain in the game, but the Kennebunkport, Maine, hurler was firm in his demonstration and was finally replaced by Pfeffer, given him until the end, Boston being helpless and hitless before his delivery.
 Brooklyn Pounce On Mays.
 Carl Mays, the underl1and twirler selected by Manager Carrigan to hold the Superbas in check, was less fort unate, for the Robinson clan fell upon his offerings with freedom that they had not displayed against either Shore or Ruth. They garnered seven hits and four runs before Henriksen went in to bat for him in the sixth and Eos ter replaced him on the mound when the team took the field again. Foster was reached for three hits but Brooklyn was unable to turn them in to runs. Brooklyn got ten hits for a total of fourteen bass. while Boston rolled up ain aggregate of twelve bases with seven hits.
 Heavy Artillery Work.
 Hooper, Shorten and aGrdner were the heavy hitters for the Red Sox. Hoope acquired two hits, one a triple; Shorten playing in his first world series, gathered in three hits in four AAPo IO IIlO pidlS dDu NTdEuIlSE HldUG his one hit count when he drove the ball over the wall for circuit trip.
 Daubert Has Day at Bat
 Captain Jake Daubert was the bat ting star for the Superbas, collecting three hits in four times at bat. after going through the first two games without connecting safely His final blow was delivered in the sixth inning when he drove the ball to the extreme end of the left field foul line, where Lewis corralled it in a, corner between two bleacher stands. Daubert was sprinting around second when the fielder clutched the sphere and had turned third when Scott in deep short received the throw. The latter whip ped it to Thomas at the plate just as Daubert slid in with what he thought was home run. Umpire O'Day, how ever. decided that the runner had not touched the plate and the Brooklyn players and fans roared their disap- proval of the decision without effect Daubert was given credit for a three base hit by the official scorers and had to be satisfied with that

TINKER TO LOSE
 JOB AS MANAGER. Looks as if Fiery Joe Will Lose Pilot Hand of Cubs.

No sooner had the Cubs been thor oughly beaten by the White Sox in their annual fall series that rurnors were once more floating through the air that Joe Tinker would be deposed as leader of the North Side team, al though no official statement could be obtained from anyone connected with the club.
 It looks as if some unseen hand with great power is at work on plan to push Joe out into the cold when the proper time arrives President Weegbman declined to discuss the matter when interviewed.
 It is quite certain that there is a general feeling in the National league against Tinker because of his activity in organizing the Federal league dur ing the winter of 1913-14. when many major league players decided to jump to the independents after talking with Joe.
 Several have been mentioned as suc- cessors to Tinker, among them being Jack Hendrix. Frank Chance, Larry Doyle and Dick Kinsalla.

MONEY AGAIN
Brooklyn Players Rowling for Their
 Share of Coin for Unused Tickets.

Although the worlds series barely under way there is a big sensation here already because of the loud howls made by the Brooklyn players regard ing the division of receipts
 Certain Dodger workers who expect ed to see 45.000 fans at the inaugural Saturday were evidently disappointed. especially in view of the fact that the players pool gets 50 per cent of the receipts of the first four games
 It was declared by Chief Meyers. Jake Daubert and other Dodgers that the players may not receive their due. The general division of the receipts is made on the basis of the official at tendance and apparently not the mon ey taken in for all tickets sold. It was all too evident Saturday that thousands of tickets had been paid for but for various reasons had not been used: The players should ger their share of the money received for those unused tickets, said Chief Meyers
 At game time Saturday there were no seats on sale at Braves Field It was declared that the house" had been sold out. The normal seating ca pacity of the stadium is 2.O00 and accommodations for an additional D. 900 were provided by roping. off right field. The official figures placed the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS NORMAL.
Alarm Occasoned by German Suhma-
 rine Operations Has Subsided.

New York, Oct 10.-The quakes and tremors experienced by yesterday s stock market were lacking today, trading proceeding in orderly fashion and for the most part to higher levels. The alarm occasioned by Germany s submarine operations seemed to have subsided, though an undercurrent of caution was indicated, especially in the final hour, when United States Steel and other leaders yielded Q point or more of their best.
 General or public interest in the market doubtless received check in consequence of yesterdays enforced liquidation, but the technical situation, in the judgment of impartial observ- CTS, has been strengthened. Stocks have gone into stronger hands, thereby minimizing the danger of such re- versals as accompanied yesterdays s early trading.
 A noteworthy feature of the deal ings, which again attained the large total of 1,245.000 shares, was the activ- ity and strength of many moderate and low priced railway issues, embracing most of the roads traversing western, southwestern and southern territories. Gains in these stocks ranged from one to four points and were accounted for In large part by the publication of the annual statement of the Southern Railway, winch showed net earnings of $9,245,703, an increase of $7,722, 334 over the previous year.
 Other strong features included the sugar and gas issues at gains of two to six points, American Hide and Leather preferred, which rose seven points, New York Air Brake, Stude- baker and Maxwell Motors, Interna- tional Paper common and preferred, Union Bag and Paper preferred, American Zinc and leading coppers.
 United States Steel made an ex- treme gain of one and one-half points, and Reading, Lehigh Valley and Un ion Pacific were better by as much as two points. Marines and allied stocks rose two to three points, but shaded at the close.
 Bonds were strong, with extensive trading in railroad issues, the feature being Southern Railway fours, which rose five points on the company's fa- vorable statement. Total sales, par value, were S5,065, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

scoring the first run of the game when he singled in the third inning and came home on similar hits by Stengel and Cutshaw. Olson added another in the fourth. He beat out a bunt and ran to second when Gardners hurried throw went wild. A sacrifice by Mil Ter advanced Olson to third and he scored on a. single by Coombs. The Superbas' shortstop was also respon- sible for driving in Brooklyns last scores, for after Mays walked Wheat and N1owrey in the fifth, Olson boom ed out a terrific triple to left center, scoring both.
 Bostons first run also came about as the result of a free pass.y With one out Coombs walked Henriksen, bat ting for Mays in the sixth and Hoop CTS three base slam sent him home Hooper scored a. moment later on Shorten's hit over. second. Gardner completed the Red Sox run making with his homer in the seventh.
 Ticket Selling Confused.
 There was great confusion in the handling of tickets and in the upper stands a large portion was not sold out. After several hours of struggling wit hthe jumbled coupons it was an nounced that the official attendance was 21. 0S7 and the gate receipts $69,- ceive $37,671.48: each club SIP, 557.1S and the national commission S6,976.20 The totals for three games now stand as follows:

attendance at little more than 5000. There is "a suspicion that the players may not be talking through their hats"
 The worlds series is avowedly a thing arranged for the benefit of the players, and it is essential that they get all that is coming to them. The chief agitator for the sights of the players is Meyers. The Indian has al- ways been a stickler for an absolutely straight deal for the toilers of the dia- mond. When member of the Giants in 1911. Meyers. aided by Merkle or ganized a revolution against the Ma tional Commission. The commission contracted to sell the moving picture rights in that worlds series between the Giants and the Athletics for $5009, which was officially destined for the

He was absolutely without fear both when fighting and when it came to making a match. The fact that he was risking his prestige and earning power never seemed to have any eff feet on him whatever. He was a great gambler and his gameness was far superior to that of the fighter who can take unlimited punishment without Winching.
 Darcy seems to have much of Ket- chePs willingness to fight as well as his ability. It is unfortunate that he should have to waste his talents over in Australia where there is no one within milesh or his class. He will be a great card if he ever comes to this country A Darcy Dillon match looks like the biggest thing in the pu- gilistic line that has ever taken place barring few of the heavyweight championship matches
