GREAT OUTFIELDFRS
 SELDOM ARE STARS
 IN THE WORLDS SERIES

There have been many great out fielders in world series of other days, but few have shown through the final test as brightly as was the custom In the regular campaign. Duffy Lewis. now with the Tanks, was one or the bright particular stars of the series between the Red Sox and Giants, ar was Harry Hooper, ever a slxillful grenadier afield and at the bat.
 On the other hand there have been other outfielders who by a mistake in the big series drew widespread raz- zing and finally passed out of the major leagues. Such an unfortunate was Fred Snodgrass, once of the Giants, who, while a skillful player. fell down badly at a critical turn in the worlds sarieG

FAILURE OF
 M0GRIDGE VAS
 BLOW ID TANKS

One of the reasons for the Yam kees' poor showing this season was MoEridges failure early in the race. Had the big sOuthpaw been able to take a regular turn on the mound through June and July, when Hug gins required pitching aid desperate ly, the Tanks might now be prim- ing for the worlds series.
 But Mogridge has been of little value to the Tanks all season. He did not begin to show any kind of form until early in August, but by that time the Tanks had abandoned all hopes for the pennant The SOx and Indians were setting too fast a pace, and when Mogridge did come through Thormahlen and Quinn and Shaw key were beginning to falter.
 However, Huggins Is confident that next season will give him better breaks with the pitchers. Shore will devote much time during the winter to treating his good right arm in the hope of restoring its ancient zip. HuSgins is convinced that he will be back at his best in 1920.
 We have no excuses to offer" re- marked the mite leader last night. We made our fight and have lost. Next season may bring better luck" And his sentiments are echoed by every man jack of the Tanks.

HUGGIN'S MEN MUST
 WIN TO'DAY'S GAME

New York, Stpt. 29-There's go- ing to be a ball game at Shibe Park in Philadelphia this after noon that is going to mean lot to the members of the New York Yankees. If the Hugmen defeat Connie Mack's team of recruits this afternoon, which they should do, they will finish the season in third place and cut in on a share of the worlds series spells.
 The standing after yesterdays games show the Yankees leading the Detroit Tigers by a point and a fraction. There are two ways for the Yankees to hold this lead. The first is by defeating the Ath- letiCs this afternoon, and the sec ond is by the game being cancelled on account of rain.
 Carl Mays will most likely pitch the final game for the Yan- kees. And as the underlland hurler is at his best, he should have little trouble or no trouble in winning.

O'DOWD MEETS
 RATNER TONIGHT

New York, Sept. 29---NTike O'Dowd will protect his middleweight title to- night when he faces Augie Rather in an eight-round bout at the Armory A. A. in Jersey City.
 Rather is the best of the runners-up in Mikes Kingdom, and many look for him to give the champion the hardest fight he has had since ascending the throne once graced by Dempsey, F'ftz- simmons, ketchel and other famous middles. Mike has not met a man half as good as Rather in all the time he has been cock of the walk in the 15S-pOund division.
 Rather has both a punch and plenty of cleverness. He was the star in the middleweight division abroad during the war and after it. It has rather ranklef in Mikes breast that Rather stole much of the middleweight fire during the Allied tournament.

RABBIT MEANWHILE HURT AT NEW HAVEN
 DOING FANCY STUNT

New Haven, Sept. 29 - Rabbit" Naranville went out of baseball for this season yesterday when he tried a trick stunt in the practice prelimi- nary to the game between the Boston National League and New Haven Eastern League nine at Light House Point. He attempted an imitation of a football player diving for the ball in fielding a baseball grOunder and struck heavily on his shoulder. He was taken to a hospital where his in jury was found to be a broken col lar bone. The fracture was reduced and he was reported comfortable last night.
 In yesterdays game the Bostons were beaten, 4 to 8. Walter Johnson twirling for New Haven and letting the Braves down with no hits, al though the Bostons played errorless ball.

UNCLE SAM ID GET SHARE OF
 SERIES MONEY

Washington, Sept. 29-Uncle Sam is to cut in on a small share of this years world series baseball receipts. Tax experts of the Treasury figure that admission taxes of at least S1S,- 900 will be paid by the fans that crowd into the ball parks at Cincin- natl and Chicago. Plans for the col lection of this tax money have been completed by the department. Officers of the Revenue Bureau will be in both cities to check the box office returns.
 The total number of admissions last year were 12S,483 and the Treas ury collected $18,OOO. This year the number of admissions and the tax may be much greater because of the longer series and the revived interest in baseball.
 Brokers this year are apt to find the business of "scalping" unprofita- ble. The revenue act of 1918 levies a tax of 50 per cent. on the excess charge for tickets sold anywhere ex- cept at the ticket offices where such charge amounts to more than 50 cents. If the excess charge is 50 cents or less the tax is per cent. Brokers are required to register and must obtain from collectors of inter- nal revenue of the Chicago and Gin cinnati districts certificates of regis tration which if they have no estab- lished place of business they must carry about them.
 Failure to pay, collect or truly ac- count for the admission tax is pun ishable by a fine of s1,0OO. The pen alty for "wilful refusaP' is a fine of not more than s1O,OOO or not more lthan one years Imprisonment or both.

New York, Sept 29-The best drop Kicker who ever lived. on the word of the greatest drop-kicke~ who ever stood on a football gridiron, Is being pointed for Harvard and will enter college next fall
 Arthur RrickIey is his name, and fhe authority for what sounds almost l5lze an eKravagant statement is none other than Charley BrickIey himself.
 When charged with brothcrly pride, the one-tine star of the Harvard 'backfieId. who has never had an equal in drOp-kicking, replied:
 I'm proud of the kid, sure. But I'm stating a plain fact that has been proved in actual competition. We've started together on the 1O-yard line and moved back gradually to the AO- yard line. and as a rule I've been the first one to miss He's a perfect wiz ard with the football, and a better drop-kicker this minute than I am.

 Arthur Brickley weighs 165 pounds at IT, and Is an athlete, but has never played football He has been .oin the servfce of Uncle Sam during the war, as were his brothers, Charley and George, and now he is at Worcester Academy, preparing for Harvard.

WIN FROM BROOKLYN
 IN EXHIBITION

New York, Sept 29.---The Yankees and Dodgers hitched up in an exhibit tiOn game over at Ebbets Field yes terday afternoon apd the New Workers won by to 2. The game was played in an hour and twenty minutes, and its brevity was one of its most appeal ing characteristics. It was a combat without any particular thrill A crowd of about 5000 said farewell to the baseball season in Brooklyn.
 The Tanks gave their youngsters an airing in the game, Wick, Fewster, Pipp and Pratt being the only reg
 ulars in the lineup. The Dodgers used three separate batteries. Smallwood
 was in the box for the Manhattanites, and went the whole distance twirling
 an excellent brand of ball. He al lowed Brooklyn but five hits.
 The Tanks scored enough runs in the second inning, with Pfeffer pitch ing, to win the game. A peculiar fea-
 ture of this inning was that, while
 three runs were counted for the Yan-
 kees, all three of the outs were strike
 outs. Pfeffer hit two men, and a sin gle by O'Doul a pitcher who played the outfield. and a double to left cen Ire by Wick were the other ingredi- ents in the triplicate score
 Nlth SherrOd smith in the box in the fourth, fifth and sixth frames the Yankees went scoreless and landed
 but one safe blow. Gleich, who occu- pied the station usually patroled by Duffy Lewis, was the owner of this hit, but as Smith promptly caught him mapping off first, he gathered little nOurishment from it. The remaining two runs of the Tanks were tallied in i the ninth. Pratt connected with one | of CadOre's slants for a two-bagger, i and Glelch followed with a freak home run, the ball taking an unexpected 1 bound over HiCkman's head, when he was all set to field 1t.
 Brooklyn scored its first run in the sixth. Olson singled to short left and advanced to second on Johnston's safe bUnt in front of the plate. Hickman i forced Johnston and Olson went to thir1. He completed the circuit on / Zack Wheat's out to Pratt.
 The other Dodger tally came in the ninth on Hickman's three-bagger to Icentre and Mitchelrs sacrifice fly.

FRANK KRAMER BEATS
 EATON IN BIKE RACE

Newark, Sept. 29-Twenty thou sand people, the largest crowd that has ever packed it's way into the Velo- drome at Newark, saw Frank Kramer yesterday afternoon defeat Ray Eaton int two straight heats of a one-mile match race. It was the fourth con- secutive time that Kramer has beaten Eaton since he lost the American championship to the Newark boy.
 Kramer defeated Eaton in the first heat by riding from in front, and he made the pace so hot that Eaton never had a chance to get around. Kramer's- burst of speed in the home stretch carried him over the tape a winner by an open length.
 In the second heat, Kramer rode from the rear and just nipped Eaton at the tape by a brilliant ride in which only inches seperated them as they crossed the finish line.

game when the bell rings.
 Weaver is more of a scrapper than his rival, and displays more pep than Groh. At bat Groh stands facing the pitcher full and bats right handed. Weaver on the other hand can hit from either side of the plate. He also is a good bunter and will outplay his rival on the bases. Both are clever fielders, but Weaver is the more az grssive. In fielding Grohs mark has been around .97O while this of his Chicago rival is .969.
 McMullin who played against the Giants in 1917 as a member of the White Sox is an able substitute for either short or third and is a better batter than Schreiber, a recruit who filled in during Groh's absence. Schreiber, however, had not erred in the fielding game up to the first part of the season, his mark being 1000, while McMullin who played a num- Der of games at third, held up a fielding mark of .933. and a batting mark of .292 to Schreiber's .179.
 The records of these players for the greater part of the season in batting and fielding follow:
