MURPHY WINS TWICE
St. Frisco Easily Wins Capitol City
 Stake Defeating Classy Ffeld-Na- noleon Direct Travels in 200 IA.

Columbus, Sept. 22.-Napoleon Di-
 rect and St. Frisco, with Tommy
 Murphy driving in place of the dis
 abled Edward Geers, yesterday aft
 ernoon scored straight heat victories in the grand circuit races for which
 they were favorites. Napoleon D1-
 rect paced in front in each heat Of
 the free-for-all pace, the first being
 slow, but the second was in 200 If,
 in spite of @ cool wind which the
 horses had to face through the third
 quarter. The first half was done in
 one minute fiat.
 St. Frisco was not forced to beat
 2:O6 1-4 during the Capital City stake trot, the real contest in this event being for the place which Miss Per feotion took away from BecelH and
 Harry J. S. Diameter, winner of the 2:10 pace, was outbrushed {, through the stretch in the first heat. In the second heat, Peter G. was fourth. The judges unseated w. l.. Snow and put c. Valentine in charge of Peter C.. for the third heat. Snow was allowed to drive again in the fourth heat. Diameter was the first choice.
 With Zomrect, Lon MsDona1d of Indianapolis scored his third victory of the week by winning the 2:19 trot.
 Judge Jones of the Geers stable, Bar bara King and Charming were more in favor than the winner. Charming was distanced in the first heat, while neither Judge Jones nor Barbara King showed In any heat. Royal Mo, Ohio owned, won the first heat and led for 1 most of the second mile. Zomrect took it, pulled up, in 2:0S IA, and captured the next two easily in slow time.

| Pittsburgh, Sept. 21.-Al Mamaux
 ranks as the greatest pitcher un- covered since Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander answered the call of the majors. Some folks, pointing g to the relative merits of the trio, as- sert that the record of the youthful Tiger phenom is better than that of any gent that ever Tipped a fin on a field. In 1915. his first real year under the big canvas, Mamaux won twenty-one out of twenty nine com
 bats, for an average of .724. He &C.,
 mplished this remarkable feat de-
 spite the fact that he was i'll with ap-
 pendicitis and frequently worked when
 he should have been on a hospital cot.
 The most amazing feature of Ma
 maux's performance is that he &C., complished it with 8, second rate team behind him, a club that finished with an average of .474. And now in 1916, with a team behind no better than that of 1915, this twenty one-year-ol wonder is pitching beyond his great ] work of a year ago. He won fourteen out of his first seventeen starts this
 season, and with each game he seems to improve. He has a firm hold on
 the hurling leadership in the league, duu, D6tII11lS dCIlolClILo, IL oOOilIo WI tain that he will sweep on into the stretch an easy winner. If Mamaux can pitch for a .724 average in his l first year with a punk club behind
 him, and then pitch around the 300
 mark during the first part of the next
 season with an unim proved team to support him, what could Mamaux do if he was laboring for hard hitting, all around club like the Red Sox, the
 Tigers, the White Sox, Dodgers or one or two other of the pennant chasers?

Giants Make It Sixteen.

New York, Sept. 22.-It's sixteen in a row for the Giants now. Poll Per- ritt shut out the Cubs by a score of 4 to at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon, the closing game of the season with McGraw's ancient and Honorable rival Victory for New York today will tie the earlier record that the Polo Grounders established on their first long road trip of the season.
 Chicago's farewell for the moment overshadows the clever triumph \ of yesterday. If the home team can get by in this one the long standing rec- ord of the old Providence champions will be in real jeopardy. St. Louis, which comes tomorrow for double- header, does not figure to present the front of either the Cubs or the Pi- rates But sufficient unto the day big Jim Vaughn has been groomed by Joe Tinker with the special idea of halting the Giants spurt. The score:

AETNA ALLEYS ACTIVITIES
Rangers and Tigers Put Up Stellar Brand of Bowling In City League Last Evening-Sh'h Pastimcs Lose.

Bowlers in the City league held forth last evening at the Aetna alleys with some fine work on the lanes te- ing featured. After taking two straight games from the Tigers, the Rangers dropped the final game of ,ne match, the boys from the eastern part of the city displaying excellent form. AL though the losers in two frames, the defeated team had a higher pin fall than the victors. Mike Haugh Of um- plre fame was the honor man of the match with total pinfall of G97. Tommy Wright of the losers sarnered second honors with 294. Peterson With 116 was high single score bowler.
 The South Ends experienced little difficulty in taking the measure of the Pastimes, winning all three games in rather easy fashion. The boys from the Sovereign's block were outclassed and at no time were they in the run ming. It's a shame for other teams to pick on this organization in the man. ner, in which they do.
 The scores:

ROBINS MAKE BIG l GAIN FOR TENANT
|PhilS and Braves Lose While Dodgers Lace Cardinals

Brooklyn, Sept 22.-Larry Cheney, 8who is camping right on the heels of &Grover Cleveland Alexander for ef- 8hciency honors in the National league, , won his twentieth game of the seas Sson at Ebbets Field yesterday after anoon. The Bartlesville Blade came into fthe box in the second inning of the 3game against the St. Louis Cardinals, replacing Jack Coombs.
 When Cheney entered the Robins were on the short end of a 3 to 1 6score. but Larry proceeded to mow his rivals down. and the one run they ascored off him in the ninth inning was the result of huff by Ivan Ol- 3son. The final score was 6 to 8. Brooklyn smashed it's way to vic- I tory in the fifth inning, scoring five gruns on a half dozen hits. The wal ! Tops were clean and true, and in- Hcluded doubles by Casey Stengel and Buck Wheat, along with a triple to \ the left field fence by Ivan Olson. The lscore:

Speakers Rare Consistency.

If you will examine the records from May through the closing weeks of September you will find that Iris has rumbled steadily on between .38O and 1895. He has never reached 400 nor broken below .380.
 For week after week his mark would be between .383 and .3S7. There was no wild spurts nor sudden slUmps.
 Iris merely went forth and collect ed about eight hits a week for the allotted period of play. The average has been a trif1e over eight a week, but the range has been steadily be- tween seven and nine.
 With the early jump he had it on Cobb Ty had only one chance to overhaul this lead and this was to bat over 400. Iris refused to come back half way and he had too far to go at the finish.
 Speaker deserves great credit for making another forward dash after Ty had almost caught him, for he proved his nerve here beyond any doubt.
 After all, Speaker has been great enough in his career to deserve at least on year at the top, even though Georgian.
 And it is no soft assignment to lead a league that has Cobb, Collins and Jackson swinging daily on the ball.

TENTATIVE PLANS
 MADE FOR SERIES
Six Clubs Receive Notice to Get
 Tickets Printed

The three leading clubs in both Na-
 tional and American leagues were
 yesterday notified by Chairman August
 Hermann of the National baseball commission that they are privileged
 to have reserved seat tickets for the
 next worlds series printed at once. if they desire to do so. Owing to the possibility of a close race in both leagues, which might continue until within day or two of the final game in either league, it was thought best by the commission to allow the print ing of the reserved seats in order to avoid delay that was almost certain to be caused by waiting for these tickets to be printed at the last mo- 1 ment. The clubs notified yesterday are Boston. Chicago and Detroit in the American league, and BrookIyn Philadelphia and Boston in the Nal tional league. World series games in Boston. if
 the Boston Americans again win the
 right to represent their league in the postseason tests, probably will be played at Braves field, the Boston home of the National league, with l seat prices the same as those of last year. Business Manager T. w. Ilan- min made this announcement yester- day after the victory of the Red Sox over Detroit had increased the prob :, ability of Boston retaining the Amer | ican league championship.
 The fact that final determination of 1 the pennant race probably would not be made until @ few days before the season closes might result in some | change in the plans for ticket distri- 1 button, he said. AS now planned tick | cts will be on sale at the clubs offices a few days before the series opens l Mail orders, Manager Lannin said, would have no standing.
 Prices for the series were fixed by the National commission yesterday in telegram authorizing the Boston club to proceed with arrangements for printing tickets. Box seat prices were set at s5 each; grandstand seats at
 s3 and pavilion seats at s2. All these
 will be reserved and are to be sold
 only for the entire series in each city.
 General admissions will be $1 and will
 be available only on the day of the
 game.

GIFTS BIG AWARD.
Former Chairman of State Athletic
 Commission Gets Back Salary.


 Commission Gets Back Salary. Albany, Sept. 22.-The Court of Claims yesterday awarded $1,08O.64 to Frank s. O'NeiI of Bin ghamton, for services rendered as chairman of the former State Athletic Commission from May .22, 1915, the date of the ena ctrnent of the present boxing 1aw until October 8 1915, when his suc- cessor, was appointed.
 The F'raw1ey boxing law, under which O'Neil was appointed, provided that the commissioners should serve without compensation. It was super seded by the Malone law, which au- thorized@ the reorganization of the commission and awarded salaries of $3,0O0 to the commissioners.
 The Court of Claims sustain ed O'Neil's contention that, although no compensation was authorized in the law under which he originally was named, salary was due him for the duties he performed under the new law.

Red SOx GameneSs.

When the Red Sox started west without Jack Barry and with only, a game lead over the Tigers and White Sox, we figured their chance had been blown to a finish.
 It was simple enough to recall the game fight the Red Sox made last season upon alien soil. But then they had Speaker and Barry.
 They made another such rally in De- troit and Chicago around midsummer when they won seven out of nine games from their two leading rivals. But then they had Barry. .
 Now minus Barry and Speaker they go back and once more their two lead ing rivals find the Carrigan machine fighting with it's old gameness, with a club that shows no great strength on paper except in the box.

grace and effectiveness of Larry La joie at his best.
 Speaker, Lajoie and Schulte are the most graceful hitters in the span of the game and Speaker doesn't run back of either Larry or Frank.
 He has greater grace at bat than Ty, part of which Is due to a greater composure. For Ty is of the nervous, high strung type while Speaker works with far greater repose.
 He has a way of stepping into the ball that seems to forecast success in advance.

Speaker at Bat.

Speaker in his all around work is the greatest combination of grace and effectiveness in the game.
 As an outf1elder he Is unequalled. If any one man is the greatest fielder baseball has ever known the claim be- longs to Hubbard City's favorite son. It is something more than a treat to watch Speaker retrieve long or short fly, for he is one bird that can fly equally we'll in any direction.

 To check Cobb's wild rush was one thing. But the most impressive part of Speakers showing has been the up a seasons play.
 The alert Texan started the year batting around .390. Since the first two weeks he has set an even pace beyond anything we have ever seen for in the six months test there has been only the slightest variation.
