Local Teams Strong
The various high school coaches

thusiasm.
An interesting comparison can be
made after Techs game with Elwood

promising looking players, must go
fast in the Wilkinson encounter IL

BALTIMORE, Oct. 10.-Secretary
William Riggs of the Maryland
Jockey Club is doing his level best
tn secure the promises of Harry f.
Sinclair and Rear Admiral Carey T.
Grayson that their famous colts, Zev
and My Own, will start one of the
richer stakes to be offered at the
coming Pimlico meeting.
Both owners have said they are
willing to bring their 3-year-olds to-
gether some time this season, and
as the year is drawing to a close on
northern tracks, Riggs feels the PIN
leo season will be the most oppor-
tune time for the two rivals to be
broughat together.
Riggs also hoped the running of
the Pimlico F'uturity for $4,000 added
money will help to settle the muddle
now existing in the Juvenile ranks
Every top notch Juvenile is down as
an eligible for this race.
The biggest events offered on a
strong card include the Pimlico au-

Probably the largest crowd that ever
witnessed a baseball game outside of
the major leagues was expected to-
dsy at the opening game of the series
between the Baltimore Orioles, win
ners of the International League pen
nant and the Kansas City Blues,
American Association champs.
Interest in the Junior worlds series

and enormous crowds are looked for
in the four local games ending Sun

Both teams worked out Tuesday
for the coming battles. Neither mana
ger would venture a prediction on
the outcome.
The probable pitchers for the open
er were Ferdie Schupp for the Blues
and "Rube" Parnham for the Orioles.
Caldwell for X. C. and Lefty Groves
of the Baltos also were ready.

LII The 1912 World Series be-
tween the Boston Red Sox and the
New York Giants will go down into
history as one Of the greatest of all
baseball events.
The Red Sox got away to a flying
start and it seemed as If the series
would be over in five games. Then
the Giants, with their backs to the
wall, shifted from tight base ball to
a running game, and evened up the
series.

Sox won the game and with it the
series, but never in all baseball did a
pitcher get a tougher break than did

He could have saved his reason by
screed. This writer would have ex-
planned to him in words of one syllable
there are no proper odds on this series
and a mind might thereby have been
saved to figure out how many drops
Of water there are in the seven seas
or how many shovelsful of snow a
strong man could shake off pine
trees in the Arctic in the course of
ten-hour day, or something else of
equivalent moment.
1t May Be Decided Quickly
There Is no dope on this series.
Anything is liable to happen and prob
ably will. Four straight by either
team. is a possibility. A seven game
series Of three each and the odd is as
good bet as any other.
The Giants can beat the Yanks and
the Yanks can beat the Giants. Either
team is liable to beat the Their team
thr-e or four straight.
Another thing to think about: The
Yanks as team viii be playing ten
men. There will be nine Giants In
uniform and Old Man Jinx in a shabby
suit of invisibility.
Old Man Jinx has played against the
Yanks in every important game since
the club was organized. He was In
variably triumphant until Rupert and
Houston bought the team and started
TO choke Old Man Jinx with currency
gas.
This gas is made by burning hun
bred dollar bills in bales of ten each
in the presence of minor league mag
mates with good players to sell. This
gas so affected Old Man Jinx he was
unable to prevent the Yanks from
winning their league pennant.
Perhaps Ruth Chased Him
Rumor has 1t the pestiferous old
gentleman was so shocked by Ruths
reformation this year he dropped dead
of heart failure. The story is that
this occurred In a bar-room in Chi
cago when Ruth came in and lined
up with some friends at the sign of
the old brass rail, and when asked
what he would have answered
water" The writer does not vouch
70 rthe absolute authenticity Of this
tale. but it seems plausible
OF this one thing the dopesters can
be sure: The teams will play to more
people and more money than ever
before in The history of the world
series. The loss of the team that
fails to win will not be complete. The
beaten players viii have something
wherein to console themselves. There
viii be dough. Large dough.
