BeSSemer and
 Central May
 Play Big Game

It is stated on good authority that the Bessemer-CentraI game, scheduled for Thanksgiving, will not be called off, at least so far as monetary considerations may figure. This report emanates from Bessemer, where, it is stated. the fans have gotten together and have agreed that the Tigers are to be backed by purse raised among the sport lovers ot the city to make up the deficit the Bes- semer team may incur as result of ac- cepting Centrars terms regarding the diviison of the gate receipts for this game.
 It is understood that Athletic Director Felton Collier of Bessemer High will agree to accept the terms laid down by Collier was out of the city on Sunday, but his intimate friends stated that rather than to allow the cancellation ot the annual Bessemer-C Central classic for Thanksgiving. he would accept Centrars ultimatum that each team was to re- ceive the proceeds of their individual sale of tickets, splitting the gate fifty fifty.
 The officials of both schools are io meet on Monday to discuss the situa- tion and it was given out on good au thority at Bessemer Sunday that Besse- mer would >concede every possible point to Central in order that the Thanksgiv ing game could be staged. It is ex- pected that the two teams will have reached a decision over their differences by Monday evening, and the chances are now that the Bessemer-Central squabble will be smoothed out by Bes- semers acceptance of Centrars terms without regard to monetary considera- tions. Bessemer fans have assured ath-
 etic authorities at the High School that whatever loss the Bessemer team may incur through an uneven division of the receipts of the Bessemer-Central game will be made up by popular subscrip- tion.

 Mr Erickson conducted with grace and authority and when the funds of t1e community organization are sufficient to import two horns and at least two vio- las, the orchestra will rank with the best of it's size. The programme was well-ehosen. 1t was not over the heads of the average audience, and yet there was nothing trivial about it.

 A group of folk songs was sung to the unbounded satisfaction of Mr. Erickson as was also Let the Rest of the World Go By Dear Old Pal of Mine" and other popular songs.
 One of the gems of the occasion was Mrs. J J. Stricklands number She sang with true intonation and dramatic style "One Fine Day." from Madame Butterfly"
 The orchestra's closing number con, sisted of three dances from "Henry V1II," by Edward German-No. 1 'Mor- iris Dance No. Shepherds s Dance and No. g. "Torch Dance" They were given with dash and rare rhythmic beauty
 The "Star-Spangled Banner" was then sung with unw5nted fervor.
 As a preface to the music. Mrs. W. J. Adams. in a short felicitous address welcomed the audience to it's winter home and introduced Mr. Erickson.
 It was an enthusiastic assembly Of music lovers and the conductor made it clear that he was more than pleased M ith his reception and with the work Of the orchestra, to say nothing of the hearty response which the community singers gave him.
 There was no admission fee at the deor, but the usual collection was taken.
 In pne of the boxes were seated Fer dlhaHd Dunkley Mrs. F. r. Rice, Miss Bettie Gilmore and other persons proms inent in musical circles.

 Viewed from a technical standpoint, the pitching records indicate that Bag by's superior control and ability to keep the Brooklyn batters hitting the ball in the air, where fieiders had better chances, was the big factor in the Cleveland hur- Ier's success, for in other respects there was little to choose between the work of the opposing boxnen.

 After Bagby drove his home run into the center field bleaehers in the fourth, scoring two ahead of han. and JamIeson had singled, Grimes was sent to the bench The Indians rapped him for nine hits, including two homers and a triple, in three and one-third innings.
 The unassisted triple play made by Second Baseman Wambsganss in the fifth inning, while being the first in a worlds series, was not the first made in the Cleveland park. Neal Ball second baseman with the Cleveland club, retired three runners unassisted while playing against Boston here July 19, 1909. Jake Stahl hit the ball.

It was Neal Ball of the Cleveland club of 1909 who swept three oppos- ing players out on a similar handling of the ball.
 A WONDERFUL PLAY
 Today the stage setting was much the same. Both Kilduff and Miller had singled to center. in turn. at the be- ginning of the fifth inning, and were perched on second and first. respec- lively, when Pitcher Mitchell came to bat. The Breokln hurler, who had pre- viously relieved Grimes in the box. drove hot liner high and to the left of second base.
 Wambsganns leaped into the air and came down with the ball clutched in the gloved hand. For the fraction of a second he appeared to hesitate and it looked as though the play would take the usual course of a force out Then Wambsganns realized the golden fielding opportunity that confronted him and, before the startled spectators could grasp the play, he had sprinted to second and stepping on the canvas bag eliminated Kilduff. who was well on his way to third Miller was tearing own to the midway sack under the belief that the hit was an absolutely safe one and it was a comparatively easy matter Ioi " dnDSSdHHS 10 run up the base line, and touching the on- coming runner complete the first triple ever made by one player in the long history of the worlds series.

Milan, Ohio, stepped to the plate and, catching one of the Brooklyn twirlers fast sharp-breaking spitballs on the very end of his bat, lifted the sphere up and over the towering screen which tops the right field fence clearing the bases and breaking the hearts of the op- posing players with four-run lead which the Robins never even threatened to overcome The ball was so hard hit that it not only cleared the screen, but continued on it's way until it crashed into the front of house across the street from the ball park. the roof Of which was crowded with spectators
 MORE HOMERS
 Not satisfied with this display of bat ting prowess. Iris Speaker must have whispered into the ears of the other members of the team to go and do like wise, for in the fourth session, "Jeems" Bagby, evidently fearing the margin or runs was not sufficient, hit another homer
 Doc Johnston opened the inning by bouncing a single off Grimes shin to left field, and took second on a passed ball SeweH put him on third with an infield out, and then Grimes, fearing the heavy bat of O'Neill, purposely walked the latter with the idea of getting Bagby. The Brooklyn pitchers strategy was badly mussed up by his rival in the box, for Bagby picked out a delivery
