CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-On the eve of
the World Series there was one worry
Charles Leo Hartnett, Leo the Lion"
didn't have-worry over contract to
manage the Cubs in 1899.
Philip K. Wrigley. owner of the
Cubs, said today Gabby would have
been retained next year even if he
hadn't led the team to the pennant.
so he certainly hasn't anything to
worry about now" Wrigley added.
IF I do as good job running the
business end as he did with the team
we will be even Gabby and his play
ers proved to me what I have always
maintained, that spirit and fortunate
breaks can bring results Hartnett
didn't wait for the breaks, he went
after them. Anybody who gets any
place does the same
Hartnett will sit in on conference
today with Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
commissioner of baseball, for the ses-
sion of managers and umpires which
Lands calls annually on the eve of
the series. Joe Mccarthy, Yankee
manager, and Umpires John Sears,
Louis Kolls, Charles Moran and Cal
Hubbard will be other conferees.
Gabby Insists He'll Catch.
Gabby says he will catch the opener
tomorrow, even if they have to lug
him to the plate in wheel chair.
The first and third fingers of his
right hand, injured by foul tips last
week, still are swollen and sore, but
that won't stop him. The third
finger, when tapped, will not hamper
his throwing. The index finger is
discolored and still swollen. For l3
years Hartnett snatched balls out of
the air without scratch. but within
the space of month he suffered a
broken right thumb and two split
fingers.
Owner Wrigley believes his invest
ment in push -'em-up" Tony Lazzeri,
former Yank, will bring rich returns

OutdraW 81 Mark Here by
284, ,300-Majors Set Mark
at 10,267,991.
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON, yr.
Associated Press 4ports Writer.

NEW YORK, Oct. Add together
that exciting National League pennant
race, the Yankees slow start in tho
American League, the unusual interest
aroused by such individual feats as
Johnny Wander Meer's two no-hit
pitching performances and Hank
Greenberg's threat to break the home
run record and you arrive at the fact
that major league baseball attracted
more fans during the 1898 season than
ever before.
An Associated Press survey today
disclosed that the seasons paid attend
ance for the two big leagues was TO-
267,89l. The two championship clubs.
the Yankees and Cubs, both went over
the million mark in home game at
tendance, and the two leagues proved
about equal in drawing power, the
American holding the edge, 5,225,455
to 5,042,4
High Of 1890 Topped.
The figures, in some cases, are only
approximate, for several clubs are re-
luctant to disclose official attendance.
At any rate, the total of over 10 600, 900
cash customers is at least as high as
that of 1880, when the previous all
time high mark was reached. The at
tendance that year was given in round
numbers" as 100000 Last year the
total was 9,447,497.
Besides the new record total, a new
single-game record was set at the
Yankee Stadium May 80 when 1858
fans turned out. This eclipsed the pre-
vious Stadium high of $685. made
in the 1886 World Series.
Three clubs in each league, includ-
ing the Yankees, recorded lower at
tendance figures than last year, but all
the rest showed gains ranging from
44,O93 for the st. Louis Browns to 284.-
300 for the Washington Nationals and
282,Cl3 for the Cincinnati Reds. The
Yanks topped both circuits with total
home attendance of 1,069,974 but drew
72,o22 fewer customers than in 1887.
Tigers Show Greatest Drop.
The Cubs drew 1,044,838 home fans
to beat last years total by nearly
100000, while the Detroit Tigers
showed the greatest drop, from l,18l,-

FLAHERTY HANDS
PALM TO WHITE
Great in Pirates Win Over
Giants-Latter's Defeat
Toughens Skins Task.
By RAY FLAHERTY.

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
NEW YORK, Oct A Giant foot
ball team, unprepared for the de-
termined and aggressive game put up
by the Pittsburgh Pirates here last
night, was desperate and resolved
team today on the eve of it's departure
for Washington for its game with the
Redskins on Sunday.
Because their 1910 setback at the
hands of Whizzer White and his team
mates was their second defeat of the
season, the Giants now find themselves
in position where another loss would
mean almost certain elimination from
the eastern championship. In other
words, they've got to beat us Sunday
if they're to stay in the running for
the sectional crown.
Giants Overconfidence Hurts.
Overconfidence-they really expected
to take the Pirates in stride-a fast,
low-hitting Pittsburgh line which out
charged the Giant forwards, and
Whizzer White were the three factors
combining for the result. White un-
questionably was the star of the game,
his sparkling open-field running,
dashes around end, return of punts
and two important pass interceptions
providing the spark for the entire
Pitt team
In return his teammates gave him
sensational support, the guards and
other backs throwing smashing blocks
into Giant tackles which repeatedly
broke the Whizzer into the clear
where he could do his stuff.
And in the end it was White who
set up the winning touchdown. With
the Giants leading, 1877, White re-
turned Giant punt on a lateral from
Frank Filchock from his own 80 to
the New Workers IA. A few plays
later Filchock passed to Wilbur Sor-
tet, who made a beautiful catch in
the end zone for the game-winning
points.
Leemans Plays Fine Game.
1t also was the Whizzer who crushed
the Giants last rally by intercepting
pass on the Pittsburgh 40 in the
closing minutes of the game. The
Pirates hung onto the ball until the
final whistle.
Tuffy Leemans, the old G. w. star,
played his usual flashy game for the
Giants and apparently is in top shape.
Ray Hanken, another former Colonial,
played we'll on defense, as did Mel
Helm and Ed Widseth. You can de-
pend upon these four to be the lead
ers in what may now be termed the
Giants last stand next Sunday.
