A. bowlers came to a de cision yesterday which considerably changes the arrangements for the opening of the alley season. For tome days past the executive com mittee of the Y. M. C. A. Bowling As sociation has been arguing as to the composition, of the league teams; whether they should be formed by lot, or by; allowing the players to get together as best suited their own Ideas. Yesterday, It was decided to post pone the opening of the club series until the first of the year, but to play a short team series with men picked by lot by six captains. This lit a sort of compromise between the two original plans, and should serve to bring out mew material, and give the clubs a better chance-of being on tin even footing r; when their turn comes around;: V ; v; The six supposedly best players were chosen to captain the teams, and next Monday f they will hold a . meeting to draw numbers out of a hat. for choice of players. There are 42 men on the list, waiting for a chance to get Into competitions, so each team' will have -its -full five members and two1 extras. There should be no necessity of rolling a "dummy during the season. j : The men chosen as captains are F. A. Edgecomb, C. Fran. R. B. Rio tow, E. F. Schmidt, George Wilkin son and H.

VThere: they; sit, over there on the bench.,- They're as guilty as I am and a lot more. .: They've done about twen ty times as much to. win a champion ship In the American League as- 1 have ',', I didn't eyen ysign them, f I found '. them waiting for me: 'C6tne on,' boys, I said to them this spring, 'let's get together and see .if we can, get a hammetlock on a pennant this year 'We were a.t Hot Springs .-then; They; started to get together and they have been getting closer ever' since." That was the answer made by Gar land J. Stahl, manager of the Boston American League club, champions of 1913, to a query, how ; this particular championship team came I to be made. "I always thought," he added, "that we had a pretty good' ball club. But you've got to count" me out of it on putting the club together. It, was done before I got there and I have no wish to claim something which would make me appear ridiculous. . v "I'm going to begin with Hot Springs last spring. That's where we trained. We had quite a congress of Boston folks down there. The owners of the club were along, some of the players were there before I arrived, and there were critics enough to make up a nine by thmselves. 1 discovered some of the players were so confident of the combined ability of the club its team ability, I should say for it is team work that counts in the long run--that they were not overwhelmed by the task of try ing to beat the Athletics for the cham pionship. 4One of the boys made the remark one. day that the Athletics mightr get a little careless after their victory over the New York club In the world's se ries and think they could jog along and beat anythlpg on earth. More than once since then I have thought of that remark. That player had a better line on the Athletics than I had. "Anyhow, I found that the spirit of the Boston players was just the kind of spirit that seemed to me to need nothing except the friendly advice which I could give and the moral sup- port that I might be worth as man- th spring, and Bedient, who had gradu ager. So I made it my part of the ated out of the Providence club, look task to which I had "signed up" to er. fair because of his speed.

In his hurry to get the ball across after a bad bound he said, 1 'By gee, I've got a target to throw at now.' . What he meant was that he would not be afraid to unlttnber andj let the ball go at any risk, taking, chances that I would get it. It makes J a lot of difference to an mrieiaer whether he has a rangy first baseman or one who can only be depended upon if the ball comes to him a certain way. " 'Bill' Carrigan had signed to catch and (that was. just like belonging to the 'No Worry club. Then we had Nunamaker, who started with Boston that year before and was was a stranger to me, and Cady, a big fel low, who had come over to us from Newark and looked so good that I de cided to keep him and not send him bacK to the minors. Maybe I haven't been glad, for he is surely a catcher to be relied upon. 'The pitchers had all been signed during the winter. I knew there wasn't any use to worry about those who had been with Boston the year before. They were beginning to get up high speed. Who would think of cutting loose men like Wood, Collins and Hall? Of the youngsters, O'Brien, who had been a Boston player just long enough in Boston the year before to be a bean eater, shaped up well in my word for it. When a man has been through one of these fights lor the pennant' he knows what it is to work every ounce he has for pure felory and ambition. "There are no, fixed rules about this championship team except one. That is, every player is out there to do his beU and help the other fellows. We don't claim to .e the originators of any new Daseoaii strategy. 1 aon t know that we play baseball of a type STAB-BULLETIN, SATUBDAt, OCT. HENCHMEN OF Jr.AhA lows rrom ioing mucft with the ball we allowed that we could make about three or four runs a day, and perhaps a little more, and any team which can ninke three of four runs daily is sure to be a nettle in- the skin of the other teams. ' "Sometimes we played r4ho hit and run game, and sometimes We didn't It all depended. Sometimes we saeri- Jficed. If we had some good batters in line and could get two runnerB on we are perfectly willing to move them to third and second and trust to the good fellows to send two runs over the plate.

It's plain, straightforward baseball, just as much better than that of our opponents as we can make It There isn't a soft heart in the team. We have never been knocked down so hard that we weren't back on our feet fie nejt day. "The season was about half over, perhaps a little more than that We were sitting in the clubhouse one morning. One of the boys, who was getting ready to put on his uniform for a-little morning practice, looked up and taid: "We've got that Phila delphia bunch. It's -in the air. The team that we've got to look out ior is Washington. If you'll take a look you'll see that Philadelphia is wab bling all of the time and the players ne ver seem sure of themselves.' "Not long after that the Boston play ers took affront at criticisms which were passed upon them by one of the Philadelphia players whose name was signed to an article purporting to be written by him. Then the Boston players went after Philadelphia and buried them. Right after that they buried Washington. "Now, you see. it's just as I told you a" the beginning. The team was a team before I joined it, and the boys have won the championship because they played well enough to deserve It. I ve been sort of an advisory commit tee. That's all that Is coming to me." When this was repeated to a base ball man who has seen much of the Boston playing this season he said: "Stahl simply changed that infield from an uncertain proposition- to one which was Johnny on the spot. That's the part he played. The players found, that they could slam the ball at him and that brought up their speed. They would have been a third slower if they hadn't had confidence in Stahl."

Y., Oct' 11. At tacked . savagely again when ' hits would have meant his defeat "Smoky Joe" Wood," premier pitcher ' of the Boston American Leaguers, smother ed the New York. National team to day in the pinches and won his second game in the world's championship series thus entitling him to the hero's crown in the great battle to the ex tent of which it has so far '.been fought 1 . " . t Today's score was 3 to 1 In favor of Boston, and it gives the Jled Sox the lead by the count of twd to one game, Wednesday's contest being tied. . Forty thousand persons "cheered "Smoky Joe" today, despite the, fact that he was in a Boston uniform, and beat Gotham's pets. With only .two days' rest since he downed the Giants in the first encounter, Tuesday, Wood assumed the pitching mood again" to day. He was not so strong as in fcne first game. ' All his strength had beett sapped to keep the National Leaguers from winning (hat engagement in the last inning. Even though lacking his full strength, he was too good for the New Yorkers in the pinches today.' When opposing runners got on the bases and the situation was serious, Wood rose to the occasion by a su preme effort and turned the enemy back. In the sixth, seventh and eighth in nings Wood was threatened. In the sixth "Big Jeff" Tesreau, first up, singled, and Josh Devore beat out a bunt Two were on with none down, but Joe made Captain Larry Doyle of the Giants pop up one to the infield, and Snodgrass and "Red" Murray, the next two batters, hit to the Infield, forcing out the runners. In the sev enth, with one down, Herzog singled and, after "Big Chief Meyers had gone out, scored on Fletcher's double to right McCormack, batting for Tes reau, singled, and Fletcher made a foolish attempt to score, being thrown out at the plate by Yerkes. New York had another chance to break up the game in the eighth. Two men were out when Snodgrass got to first through Agnew's error. Murray followed with a single. The score at this time was 2 to 1, and a bit would tie it up, but here Wood again dem onstrated his great pitching ability by striking out Fred Merkle and retiring the side. It was another great victory for the Boston Speed Boy, and he is the idol of the city tonight Manager McGraw of the Giants started "Big Jeff' Tesreau against the Red Sox again today.

CHICAGO, Oct 3 Tris Speaker, center fielder of the champion Boston Red Sox, and Larry Doyle, second baseman of the champion New York Giants, have been awarded the prize of the Chalmers automobile apiece as being the most valuable men in their respective clubs. Last year both men to receive the prizes were on nonpennant winning teams, Cobb of Detroit and Schulte of the Cubs being voted the most valu able men in the leagues to their clubs. The voting was conducted in the same manner as in 19117 a commis sion of newspaper mr representing each city in the twf gues. The of ficial presentation o e prizes will be made during the wt i's series, either in Boston of New York, by Hugh Chal mers of Detroit, the donor of the auto mobiles. The selection of Speaker, while met unanimous, showed that the Boston slugger was considered the most val uable all over the circuit Out of a possible 64 votes Speaker was given 159, five less than Cobb last year. Doyle's victory in the National league was not so impressive the Giant re ceiving 48 out of a possible 64 votes. HAS THOUGHTS OF RENO.
