WILL AID LIBERTY LOAN
New Bond Issue to Be on Sale at
the World Series
Games.

NEW YORK, October 2.-"Base ball
fans liberty loan day" is scheduled for
October 9. the day of the opening world
series game between the Giants and the
Chicago White sox this city.
In order that the first championship
contest here may not overshadow the
$4,000, 100000 loan drive, Harry N.
Hampstead. owner of the Giants, is
making special efforts to gain the ac-
tive support OF every lover of the ma
tional game. He has promised the sec
ond liberty loan committee that the
Polo Grounds will be covered with
banners to bring home forcefully the
message Of the loan to the 10000 fans
who are expected to jam their way into
the big Enclosure.
The players will have plenty Of in
centiye to increase their batting aver
ages by several prizes of $50 bonds
which have been offered for the first
home run.
The Giants were the first ball players
to take up part of the first loan. and
several members of the team intend to
invest in the new issue. Mr.. Hampstead
will also buy liberal share of the GER
tfficates.
There will be several members of the
loan committee present at the first
game to receive subscriptions and
answer questions of prospective in
vestors.

HAS "sHoE SHINE" PUNCH.
Champion Herman Is Creator of New
Offensive Blows.

Boxing fans who have witnessed Pete
Herman, the batamweight champion. in
action have no doubt been struck with
the familiarity about the method In
which the diminutive southerner de-
iivers short right and left hook. to the
body. Two critics here who, perhaps,
are more in tho habit Of getting their
shoes polished than the rest were hit
with the same idea. To their own salts
faction they solved the mystery. Her
man before entering the boxing game
was a bootblack. The motion he en-
ploys when shooting short rights and
lefts to the body is an exact counter
part of the way a "shoe-shine" artist
olies his arms and hands when polish
ing the backs Of shoes with cloth.
Hence Herman has been the creator of
the shoe-shine" punch.
To get an idea of what we mean. the
next time you visit a shoe-polishing
establishment keep your eyes fastened
on the bootblack's hands when he
reaches the part of his task where he
shines the back Of your shoes and sends
his hands flying back and forth with
lightning speed.

Advocates Starting Season

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Talk of shortening the major league
base ball season, which is revived
every fall and furnishes a topic for
discussion all during the off season.
again is being heard. The arguments
against the present schedule of 154
games are well known. The weather
in April seldom is suitable for base
ball and has resulted in many post
ponements in the early part of the sea-
son. with a resulting long list of dou-
ble-headers, but many owners. fully
cognizant of the disadvantages Of an
early start. have opposed shorter sea-
son for fear 1t would cut into the re-
ceipts, Notwithstanding that expert
ence has proved that the early contests
played in cold weather do not attract
crowds in worthwhile proportions.
With the appearance of Ban Johnson
president of the American League, and
probably the most influential man In
base ball, as an advocate OF later
start. something besides talk may re-
suit from. the annual debate. Johnson
II said to favor reducing the number
of games from ISL 10 about 140. to start
the season May l and close it October

sible for the players to spend the last
two weeks of April training In the
south and better fit themselves for the

Scalpers. too, have informed their

Carl Mays, the submarine shooter OF
the Sox, was in somewhat the same pre-

shy of twenty-five, which was the mark
set for him when his contract was

About the Two Games.

Morgan's remarkable stop off Hooper
in the first game was followed, alas,
by very wild heave.
Gallia hit Walker in the small of the
back, but Umpire Connolly refused to
let him stroll. Walkers revenge was
a single that scored Boston's seventh
run.
Young oooney showed up well in the
field for the Red Sox, but was forced
once at second because he failed to stir
his stumps.
Duffy Lewis slumped in hitting when
they changed his score card number
from 4 to 314, but he is coming back
strong.
