Simmons is one of the few players
that spring up once a decade with the

this type were Napoleon La1ole, Hans
Wagner and the great and only 1y

it all.
In center George Hess has been an

At odd moments in the season one

stretches at time. Heathcote moved
into a job and played right up to the
standard of any of the men fer whom
he filled in. Moore, though not as ex-

now and then as q stopgap.
Conditions in the infield were about
the same with regard to reliance on the

Hornsby alone progressed throughout
the season, with little or no need for
any relief, and when the Critical period
of the race was reached he rose to the
greatest heights of his whole years

At the start Of the season, when I

one or them has been more than useful,
either in turn or out of it, and expect
to have enough pitching around during
the world series to tide over any hitting
famine that might develop, when Grove,
Earnshaw, Walberg and Quinn are
operating for the Athletics. 1t has
worked that way all season, and a
world series, after all, is just another
set of ball games.
In spite Of the necessity for using re-
placements off and on during the sea-
son, we have managed to maintain
much the same batting order. In fact,
the only changes have taken place when
Heathcote played. Then English led
of. a job with which he was not un-
familiar.
The order of Hornsby, Wilson, Cuyler,
Stephenson and Grimm or Tolson,
hasn't been interfered with at all. Nc
MILAN has been shuffied around a bit
when Heathcote has been in the game.
Otherwise the reserves always has been
accepted as 100 per cent performers in
the place of any one for whom they
happened to be operating
And the standing of the clubs indi-
Gates that they have acted out the part
just like that. The impression that the
Cubs had no reserves this year be-
longs In the same category with the i'm
preston that they couldn't win ball
games consistently any place but at

days, but not one complaint
has been registered by any fan. A bar
gain double-header involving the Ath-
letics against the Senators at Shibe
Park yesterday was sunk without a
trace, and moisture in and about the
Polo Grounds caused Charlie Stoneham
to abandon the final Brooklyn New

The Giants are booked solid in Phila-
delphia and Boston for the four re-
naming days of the season and could
not play off, yesterdays "postponement'
even If they were mean enough to do 1t.
Connie Mack does deserve some credit,
with his double-header, which could be
played there either today or tomorrow,
weather permitting. Mr.. Clark Grimth,
1t may be recalled, recently hauled the
White Sox back to Washington for one
rousing game against the Senators be-
fore permitting them to go peaceably
about their business in the West.
The wholesale curtailment OF the
Eastern half Of the base ball program
yesterday again left the Cubs and the
Reds alone upon the stage, and this
upon the portly Mr.. jake May with
such violence that he had to be LED
from the premises in the eighth inning,
with Ray Kolp in the role OF under
taker for a defunct BAH game, which
the Bruins won by z to 4.
Sheriff Fred Blake handcuffed the
Reds neatly, but he had able assistance
from Rogers Hornsby, who is bent upon
finishing second In the list of National
League batters, even If he cannot scale
the top. The Rajah got two out OF four
Yesterday, lifting his average one point
to .38l. which is only three notches be-
hind the runner-up, Babe Herman.
Frank O'Doul gained point through
a revision made by the oficial statistic
clans Of the league. He Is all but
cinch to finish on top with his current
mark what it is, 1896. Three good days
against the Giants might even send him
into the ultra charmed circle reserved
for the 400 hitters.

outfield the Athletic club ever had since
it started in Philadelphia, way back in

an outfield that could match 1t.
