Some very good players have a
strictly local game, but Anderson's
championships were won in all parts
of the country.
Almost all professionals seem to have
a rowing disposition. but his was par
t'cularly a strong wanderlust in fact,
and it took him to different positions
almost every year. 1 understand that
he stayed at Onwentsia, in Chicago,
longer than at any other place. I re-
member him there, and as far back as
1905 he had cracked 70 on that course.
1t is not so great an achievement now,
with our improved clubs and balls, to
break 70 as it was then, but it is still a
feat worth venturing.

Maroon Is Favored.

dict that Princeton will not show as

The Princeton defense, unable to
from making long gains through the
Tiger line. can hold little hope of
stopping Colgate. And the Princeton
attack has shown. nothing to warrant
one to believe that the Tigers can
score on the Hamilton eleven. For a
guess, it looks like Colgate, about

Stars Out of Game.
Braden, Murphy and Tim Callahan
will not be able to play for time,
probably not until the Princeton
game. The Blue has been showing
well in practice during the week. and
Tufts ought to furnish just about
enough opposition today to afford DR..

The game between Harvard and
Virginia in Cambridge will draw the
attention of but few outside of the

universities. since the Virginia eleven
is having the most disappointing sea-

will not have to uncover anything to

Will Come Up at League Meeting.

John Heydler. president of the Ma
tional League. was asked whether the
nine-game world series had been made
permanent. mo. that matter will come
up this winter" he replied
He admitted. however. that several
men in base ball favor the longer
series. Heydler would not say whether
he approved the long or short series.
but did say that the eight-game series
was not as much of a failure as had
been pointed out.
Some of my friends told me they
thought there was more interest in
the eighth game, when every one was
anxious to see whether the Sox could
pull it out, than at any time in the
series," said Heydler.
The writer Is heartily opposed to the
nine-game series, and favors a reten-
ton Of the old limit of seven-gam
series. That has proved satisfactory
for years. Herrmann's main plea for a
longer series was that a seven-game
series would not enable him to take
care of all his fans. That developed
into the joke of the last series.
But the friends of the short series
will have to keep on plugging, or the
club owners will make the nine-game
series permanent feature. Methods
already have been discussed for pre-
venting anything like the slump in the
cincinnati attendance by selling four
tickets in each series next year, and
refunding the money in the event the
series is not PLAYED

Willie Anderson.

Willie Anderson was perhaps the
greatest professional America or
Canada ever saw, and his death few
years ago closed one of the most brill
liant careers in golf on this side of
the Atlantic. At least no other can
boast his four national open cham
pionships and like number of
western opens, and there was a
famous array of talent against him
in those days. when the great Scotch
and English professionals were striv-
ing to Guido each other in the Amer
lean and Canadian classics.
Rivalry Aided Him.
From the general introduction of
the game in this country down to 1912.
when the native-born professionals
came into notice, there was a big
influx of foreign professionals. In
early Scottish days there has been a
great rivalry between the Smiths of
garnoustie and the Andersons and
Campbells. Out of this rivalry was
born Willie Anderson's strength.

CLUB OWNERS STILL SUPPORT
WORLD SERIES OF NINE. GAMES
Despite Protests Many Will Vote to Con-
tinue Base Ball Classic Same
as This Year.

Despite the fact that the nine-game
world series generally was condemned
this fall, strong fight will be made
during the coming winter to retain
the heightened world series schedule,
writes Fred Leib in the New York
Sun. The writer learned yesterday
that there already has been consid-
cradle correspondence between the
club owners Of both leagues on the
subject and with a few exceptions
the sentiment is that the nine-game
series of 1919 was a great success and
should be made a permanent institu-
ton.
So far only Charley Ebbets of Brook
lyn has come out publicly favoring the
retention of the nine-game series. but
Garry Hermann of Cincinnati hasn't
changed his views on the subject. The
other National League men who voted
for the change to a nine-game series
this fall still favor 1t, and the same
may be said for the pro-Johnson fac
ton in the American League, whose
Ave votes Endorsed the project against
the wishes Of Charles Comiskey. own
er of one Of the contesting clubs.
These men present the argument
that the only ones who are knocking
the nine-game series are newspaper
men. who continually are slamming
the magnates on general principles.
They contend that because the base
ball writers wearied Of the series they
tried to spread the impression that
the general public also was bored.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-10-25

decreased crowd, also that the dwin-
died attendance was due to a local
condition which might not come again
in another series in years.
Another argument which the mag
mates are advancing to one another is
that a nine-game series is necessary
for the club owners to make anything
out Of it under the new system of di-
viding world series purses. For the
first time this year the contending
clubs were obliged to turn over half
of their receipts to their league treas
uries. Even with the eight games
played the contending clubs made
only about $4,000. about the same as
the government war tax on the series.
The league got more out of the
series this year than ever before and
the money paid into the league treas
uries will go as league dues. instead
of the individual clubs being assessed
for the upkeep of their leagues.

Think Interest Does Not Lag.

The leading argument that the club
owners are presenting is the crowd at
the eighth game in Chicago, which.
they point out, was several thousand
bigger than the crowd of the opening
figures were 29.126 for the third game
of the series in Chicago. the first
game played there, and 32.930 for the
eighth game played in Chicago. the
last of the series
The magnates are pointing out that
while the writers kept emphasizing
the $4,000 crowd in Cincinnati for the
seventh game as proof of the waning
interest in the series they ignored
the eighth game crowd in Chicago.
- They further say that wretched han
ding of the tickets for the last game
in Cincinnati was responsible for the

locals WIN AGAIN.
st,nocolas Calcimined in Game With
the Donaldsonville Team:

One Of the largest crowds that
ever attended a game OF basebail III
this city. witnessed the third scrap
between the Stanocolas of Baton
Rouge and the Donaldsonvllle team
at the fair grounds last Sunday al
ternoon. A light rain just before
fine beginning Of the contest, with
threatening weather during the pal
ance of the afternoon, did not pre-.
vent the fans from turning out y
large numbers, to attend what Il
was geneally believed would prove
one of the most interesting games o.
the season. The number Of automo-
biles on the grounds was also tne
$larpest seen at game this year.
The teams had already met twice
this season and on each occasion on. t Z
game resulted in victory Tor the the
Donaldsonville boys. For last sun
davis game both teams were strong
" reinforced by Southern League
nitchers. Dixie Walker was on the
mound for the visitors and pitcned
effective bali, having fourteen strike
outs to his credit. Lankinau who
Hurled for the locals, was hat fafa
and often and had it not been for the
superb support given him by both
the IN and out-felders, the game
would have resulted in victory for
the Stanocolas. The features OF the
contest was the phenomenal running
catches made by Leftfelder Dugas
and Centerfelder Names of the To-
Gals.
The game proved exceptionally in
teresting from the very beginning,
being fast and snappy and full OF
ginger. The winning run was made
in the ninth inning, with one out
but up to that time it looked as
though the game would result in 9
scoreless one.
The greatest excitement prevail
ed when the locals scored, and con
siderable money changed hands OF
bets made on the game.
The Donaldsonville team will g
to Baton Rouge tomorrow to NEE
the Stanocolas, and Manager Duga
feels confident that his club will
again take the scalps of the Capita
City boys. Lankinau will agail
toe the slab for the locals in to
morrow's game, and it is needless t
predict that the home boys vii
again carry the laurels of the day.
