neer diamond, when the All-Stars will line up against the crack Pioneers in the third of the series for the city championship. The game will mean the bringing to this city of several players of big league reputation, such as Billy Kopf of the Cincinnati Reds and Merwin Jacobson of the Tor onto International league champions
 "BilT' Kopf will return to his home town, to make his first appearance on the diamond since his successful re- turn to the big show. Throughout the past season, sporting writers in every city where the National league is rep resented have paid the local boy flat tering tributes for his wonderful work at the short field position. It Is the unanimous sentiment among these writers that Kopf's work had a mater ial effect in landing the Reds in the first division, a place that the residents of the Porkopolis had not cherished In many years.
 Jacobson has graced the Ellis street greensward twice since the closing of the league season, and on both occa- sions his work has been instrumental in the downfall of the opposition team

PLAYERS CENSURE
 BILL NOT HE|N|E
Most Giants, Including Manager, Blame Rariden. for "Bone" Play

New York, Oct. 1S.-Most of the Giant players, including Manager Mo- Graw, are of the opinion that a lot of unjust banning has been levelled on the head of Heinie Zimmerman, The Bronx third baseman, for his worlds series "bone'' in the deciding game of the series with Chicago last Mon- day, when Heinie chased Ed Collins all the way down the third base line and over the home plate with the win ming run.
 The Giant players are of the opinion that the newspaper men were very kind to Bill Rariden on this play. They insist that Rariden was as re- sponsible, if not more responsible, for Collins scoring in that fatal fourth in ming than was Zimmerman. It is better to omit names, but it never theless is true that the majority of the Giants believe that Rariden was the big bonehead of this inning and not Zimmerman.
 McGraw has not discussed the play much for publication, but it Is not violating his confidence in saying that he puts the lions share of the Collins run on Rariden. McGraw says that he had drilled Rariden time after time on such a play and had tried to im- press upon him that the cardinal principles of catcher are to see that the home plate Is covered. He says it is not the first time Rariden has forgotten all about the home plate and that it was not the first time Bills thinking apparatus had ceased work ing.
 Should Have Covered Plate.
 According to McGraw Rariden should have remained with the play to the end, regardless of what Zim- merman did or said, and should have been at the home plate in position to take a throw instead of standing aside watching the spirited sprint.
 There are many versions of the play. Many persons saw it in diff ferent way. However, Giant players eav Rariden watched the play at least fifteen feet within the diamond, mask ;n hand, instead of guarding the home plate. They further say that photo graphs of the play in possession of the New York baseball club show that Rariden was nowhere near the plate when Collins slid home.
 Many persons will not agree with the eleventh hour effort of some of the Giants to extricate Zimmerman from the "order of worlds series goats" but 1t Is significant that most of the baseball men in town agree with McGraw and say that Rariden was at least as much to blame for the blunder as was Zimmerman.

NO "SHlNE BALI"

Eddie Cicottc, Supposed Inventor of
 Deceptive Slant, Says It Was Only
 a Myth.
 Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 1S.-The secret of Eddie Cicotte's shine" ball is that there isn't and never has been such a thing. It was a myth devised for it's psych ological effect.
 This admission was made by Cf- cote yesterday while passing through here with other members of the new worlds champion Chicago Americans.
 Hap Felsch and I framed it on the training trip" said Cicotte. "The idea was to rub the ball in a peculiar way to make the batsman think I was do- ing something to 1t. I wasn't really, but others thought I was. Felsch started the talk going in St. Louis got Fielder Jones all wor<ed up about it, and the first thing we knew the shine ball was an established fact in most minds.'

West Point, N. ", Oct. 18.-The Armys midweek drill was productive of only one touchdown for the var sity yesterday, so stiff was the scrub opposition. Oliphant hung up the score and kicked the goal.

For every little sleeveless coat there
