choice of three of the writers and had
a total of SO points.
Wilson led both leagues in home
runs with total of So. He created q
new all-time major league record for
runs batted in, totaling 100, and his
batting average was 1855. Frisch, whose
all-around playing was a feature OF
the Cardinals rapid rise to the top,
batted .346, while Terry led the hitting
list with an unofficial mark of .40l.

ATHLETICS POWER
LIES IN BATSMEN
Collins Declares His Team
Has Not Been Hitting on
All Cylinders.
BY EDDIE COLLINS,
Captain of the Athletics.

~ HILADELPHIA, october g.
- For the first time in this series
feel like making a rather
startling prediction.
AS we waited today's game my mind
reverts back to the final Of the 1911
series between the Giants and the
Athletics. That series was nip and
tuck affair just as this one has been,
but the sixth game turned out to be
such a complete rout Of our rivals
that our triumph seemed all the more
decisive because of the lopsided score.
MY bunch is that in today's game
our players are going to cut loose with
Q barrage of base hits and runs.
I think the victory will be so decisive
that there will be no doubt remaining
in the minds of the base ball public
as to which was the better club.
We are a team that wins mostly
through sheer batting power. While
we have given spasmodic evidences OF
this strength Il refer to Foxx's home
run and the clouts that Simmons and
Cochrane made In the first two games
in Philadelphia) we have not yet hit
on all cylinders or really looked like
the great team we have showed our
selves to be in our American League
season.

they'll come in my office and cry on

It's John S. Blick talking, and right
proudly, too, about the Columbia

Any time you get little tired Of
watching the big bambinos and want
a little Change in bowling, take peek
some Tuesday night at this league In
action.
The loop is local in every sense OF the
word. Every team, and there are 10
of 'em, are within five blocks OF the
Arcadia alleys and they fight like
neighbor cats and dogs. When q
bowler makes mark he Is mobbed by
his teammates. They pound him on
his back, shake his hand and applaud
with a stamping of feet. If the. score
is not quite to suit, they'll rise in body
and argue it out.
Right now, Swans and Chaconas
Market, the latter an all-Greek team,
are tied for the leadership. Both teams
almost had q At last night when they
realized that. the leadership would have
been theirs had they swept set. AS
it was Liondale Shirts took an odd
game from Swans, and the Bell q

The other teams In the league are
ArcadIes, Vincent BARRIERS, Cools
Drinks, Ford Electric, Pioneer Market
and Dismers.
So if you like fight, take a peek
at this league some time. It's easy to
find as the boys have hung a large

this has so warmed Blick's heart that
he's having a trophy made for the
pennant winner.

GROVE, EARNSHAW
AIDED BY BREAKS
Gabby Figures BottomIey Is
Due to End Stick Slump.
Proud of His Club.
BY CHARLES "GABBY" STREET,
Manager of the st. Louis Cardinals.


October g.
- Well, we said we'd come
/ back to Philadelphia, in
spite of those two straight
defeats at Shibe Park and here
we are, undiscouraged by the fact
that the Athletics are one game
ahead of us and need only one
more victory to clinch the title.
We all feel that the Cardinals
have shown themselves to be q
great ball club and when we get
through we're going to have the
world championship back in the
possession of the National League.
have decided to pitch Bill Hallahan
today in the sixth game OF The series.
He stopped the Athletics without any
trouble in the first contest at st. Louis
and he proved that he was one OF the
greatest lefthanders and ono Of the
greatest pitchers In the business. And
the world will have more words OF
praise for him when he has done MS
stuff today.
Some of the hitters at the top OF
our batting order have not been de-
livering. but we refuse to be thrown
into panic by that fact. jim Bottom
ley is a great ball player arc figures
to come out of his slump. He has had
several slumps this year due to numer-
Gus misfortunes, but he has always been
dangerous up there.
Jim is going to stay at first base and
I'm looking for him to come through
with hits now that we need them most.
II he and Eafey can come close to their
normal hitting stride, the remaining two
games will be just breeze for us.
AS Pitchers Lucky.
We know that we have been up
against excellent pitching. Grove and
Earnshaw have done great work for the
American League team, but they also
have been blessed by having the luck
with them, and when you take into con-
sideration the fact that Grove and
Earnshaw have pitched great ball and
have been lucky to boot, you have the
explanation of the one-game lead Connie
Mack has at the present time.

FABLE OF CARNERA

Maloney Takes 1875 "KilIing''
Punches and Beats Giant
in Decision Match.
BY BILL KING,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


- oSTON, October 8.-The hstic
- capabilities of Primo Camera,
heretofore either under or over
estimated, were accurately
gagged last night by Jimmy Maloney,
Boston.s fayorite but unreliable heavy
weight.
Giving away IS pounds to the Italian
behemoth, the "fat boy" clearly out
pointed him in q furious 1o-round
Suggest at the Boston Garden.
Maloney proved that Camera does
not possess q killing punch. He d.
rested exactly 195 Of the giants blows,
and. the only time he lost his footing
was when he fell against the ropes
after missing q wild round mouse
right to the Italians jaw late IN the
bout.
Proves Easy to Hit.

exciting setto, also indicated that II
would be sound Judgment TO disregaLo
the % consecutive victories-22 via the
knockout route-that the "Ambling
Alp has piled up against carefully Sc
lected opponents since he started ms

Camera was easy to hit. MaIoney
scored 1872 times to the head or body
of his huge opponent and 90 per cent
Of them landed clearly. "a -
Most of Garments punches were short

Fights Like Novice.
Maloney was on the short end of the
Al betting odds. but he fought the
greatest battle of his long ring career and
his victory was honestly earned. Car
nera'S IS pounds advantage and his
inches In height enabled him to turn
and twist Maloney as he wished to
take the first two rounds.
Maloney improved in the following
round and had the battle won before
he rwilted in the ninth. The Italians
amazing strength gave him the last
two sessions, but these points were not
enough to sway the officials in his
favor.
Camera fought like a novice during
most of the bout and the only time he
troubled Maloney was when he had him
against the ropes. AS boxer Primo,
Judging from his performance last night,
is at least two years away from the time
when he will prove troublesome to the
occupants of the top rungs Of the

SANTIAGO GORILLA PROVES TO
BE TOO MUCH FOR BOBBY PACHO

, his former appearance IN the local
ring. He did not fight consistently,
seeming to be satisfied in tying Bob
by up SO that he could not use his
right effectively or else he would
hang on in such Il manner that
Pacho could not use either hand. But
when the Panamanian did unloosen
himself and decided to stage a little
activity, he showed p lent Y and
threw gloves in all directions with
bewildering speed. 1t is safe to say
that the boy can fight, else he would
never have reached the niche he now
occupies in the fistic hall of fame
lut he certainly did not display
much of his wares on either of his
two appearances in the valley.
Paceho did his best and deserves
all the credit possible for the game
fight he put up. He was willing but
was stacked up against too much
speed and experience. The second
and third rounds were Bobby's by
wide margin, the remainder being
either even or to the credit of his
opponent, The valley boy was woe,
fully off in his timing last night,
missing repea hadly with wild swings
which did not find their mark simp-
l. because the mark had moved else
where Just before the blow arrived.
The opening stanza was even, both
Loys Just sparrlng around. Bobby
showed plenty of confidence and
gave the impression that he would
be master of the situation through
out. In the second round Pacho Jolt
ed Gorilla with three hard rights to
the face and stomach which showed
the latter that he could not afford
to get careless for an instant. 1t was
noticeable throughout that the grin
wor. by Gorilla during his, former
engagement was conspicuous by its
absence and he realized that he was
up against Il tough proposition. San
tiago did not show any fighting in
this round, merely being content to
take what was offered and tie up
his opponent whenever possible. Bob
by kept right at him in the third
round and for few fleeting seconds
ii looked as if he would take 70
rilla, pasting him with a hard right
10 the Jaw which rocked the Panama
fighter.
Slows Up Facho
just at the end of this round how
ever. Gorilla connected with a stiff
right to the stomach which hurt
Bobby very much and. in our opin
len. slowed him up considerably for
the rest of the affair. In the next
frame he kept al Bobby, opening up
: gain and again in spurts Of might
ing and finally opened up a cut over
Bobby 5 left eye. This helped 10
slow Pacho up and from then ON one
could easily read the writing on the
wall. Bobby missed and missed CON
tinually. He would hold his right all
primed for kayo and then lose the
golden opportunity to drive it over
10 that bobbing head which kept
Just out of reach in front of him.
Zorilla would duck, Bobby would
swing and miss.
Gorilla kept sharpshooting for the
damaged eye while jumping about

ters when good opportunity came
