DEVLIN MAY BE
TEAM MANAGER
Boston, Oct 1 Arthur Devlin, the
former Giant who is now with the
Brnvos, has been mentioned for the
managerial borth of tho Sacramonto
team of the Pacific coast league. A
tolegram was received a few days' ago
at the Boston National league head
quarters from tho owners of the Sac
ramento club, slating that they were
anxious to sign Devlin for manager
and that they wanted him to go to
California immediately Devlin said
that he would like nothing better, but
that ho would not consider the propo
sition this season, as ho "had already
made arrangements for the next two
months.
Very few men In che gamo today
know as much baseball as Devlin. For
years he worked under McGraw and
1
naturally ho acquired McGraw's way
of handling players. Devlin realizes
that he will not bo able to continue
activo playing much longer, and Is
therofore nnxious to get a beith as
nmuager of a minor league team and
to work his way back into the majors.
BASE BALL IS TO
INVADE FRANCE
Baseball is to be introduced in
France, and an American is to do 1L
Richard Klegtn of Sioux CItj la., who
took a stable of fighters to Paris
about fivo years ago and set the
Frenchmen crazy over "La Box,' is
tho man who is to glvo Paris an idea
of what a great national game Undo
Sam has. The baseball invasion of
France will start In May, 1913, and
Klegin says It will tnkc only a few
weeks for King Baseball to conquer
that country.
"International baseball," says
Klegin, who now is in New York,
"may sound mythical to some per
sons, but It's coming just as certain
as are tho winter snows, and I am
going to pavo tho way for it. France
will furnish the wedge for tho intro
duction of the gamo In Europe The
French, the most delirious! sport
loving people In tho world, will tako
to baseball like flies to a sugar bar
rel. I've seen Franco go wild over
boxing In the last five years, tako
England's game of association foot
ball to Its bosom and turn out by the
tens of thousands to athletic meet
ings. If the French take to those
sports what will they do to baseball,
the greatest sport of them all' Bt
irove me , they will eat it up
"Many people thought I was crazy
several years ago when I left Amer
ica for Pans Avlth a stable of fight
ers Ihadn't been there a year before
the French went wild over the game
After Bostock and his wild animals
lefl the Hippodrome in Paris I ob
tained control of that big amphithea
ter and the Parisians made tho build
ing bulge out at the sides in their
eagerness to sec second-rate Ameri
can boxers perform in the ring.
Baseball Has No Rival.
"The 'Eavate,' the old sport of the
Frenchmen, held me off for a while,
but boxing soon put the ancient
French sport down for the full count.
Boxing and 'savate' have certain sim
ilarities, as have baseball and crlckeL
Baseball will liavo a fair field and no
favor and T Ghall have to own up that
I do not know the French people If
H j , , 1
H Ray Collins, Hope of the Boston Red Sox in the World's Series,
Franco does not toko to baseball just
as quickly as It took to boxing.
"Understanding tho nature of tho
French and knowing the game of
baseball, I feel that It needs only a
little work to popularize the game In
France. Baseball is fast, breezy and
scientific, with enough hazard, dash
and skill In it to suit tho French na
ture. I can think of no Bport which
jibes so well with tho physical and
mental attributes of the French
Then, you know, tho game Is Ameri
can. That will go a long way in
France, for tho Fronch know and ap
preciate America and are1 quick to
take up and adopt anything American
"Whon I leavo New York next April
T will take about thirty players with
me, including two umpires, I origin
ally Intended to take on a team of col
lored players You know there Is no
race prejudice In France. A French
man doesn't care whether a man Is
white or black, provided he delivers
the goods. Afterward I decided to
draw the color lino, howovcr. It prob
ably will bo an aggregation of the
best white semi-professional players
obtainable that will accompany me to
Paris.
"Walter Schllchter of Philadelphia
already has contracted to go with me
as manager Tho gamo will get Its
start in Paris next spring. That is a
surety. Thore are 100,000 Americans
in Paris, and they will furnish the
support necessary at tho starL It
will take the Parisians only a little
while to catch on. Once the get wise
to tho game, the French will tako to
baseball just as wildly as they took
to boxing."
RED SOX TEAM
PLAY SUPERIOR
(B Herman KMckerson )
How will the Speed Bojs bo able to
win from the Giants in the worlds
series9 That question Is open to dis
cussion from many sides. No com
parison of man for man can explain
It. Individuals when working as a
toam make success on the diamond
possible. Thnt is Just what has made
the Spe.er Boys champions of the Am
erican league, aud it will land them
the otner and greatei honor.
No one who knows anything about
baseball doubts for a moment that
Mathowson isn't going to give the
Boston boys a battle This wonder
ful twirler, tried in many a historic
game, is as clever today in his head
work as anv man that vor sent a ball
up to the "plate. Still, he isn't the
"Matty" of old. and in that the Boston
team has its chance. Against him
Joe Yood should win, for Joe, In
6hapel is the superior of any twirler
tho Giants have faced Uns seasou
He has a fast ball that is a marvel,
a drop that fools them all and his con
trol has been perfect. So In this com
parison the Boston boys have a shade
Marquard may provo a puzzle, but I
don't think he will If the Speed Boys
who have hit PlaHk hard all season,
cannot get to him, the fact will sui
prlso the followers of the sport. Ray
Collins, wnen right, and lie looks to
bo right today, can more than offset
this twlrler's work
Tcsrcau tha Hardest to Beat.
Tosreau is the real problem for the
Stahl bunch, as I look at It. He has
a fino spitball, and the Boston team
Itnf'l very strong against such twlrl
ers O'Brien will be thore to faco
tho Giants, and I look to see him como
through with a victory. Of tho oth
er twirlcrs it would soem Improbablo
that McGraw will have to use Ames
or Wiltse, while Stahl will have Bedi
ont and Hall to send against thorn.
On pitching It looks llko the Speed
Boys had the cnll, for Wood can re
peat and so can any of the others.
In catching I would rathor favor
Carrigan and Cady as against Meyers
and Williamson. Meyers is a grand
catcher .and will probably do all the
work In the series. Without him the
New York team would bo Iamcntablj
weak. He is a hitter who can break
up games, but for that matter so arc
Carrigan and Cadv. Tho latter, whllo
just from tho bush, has shown his
nervo and head. Each game he has
caught has testified to hjs Improve
ment, and ho lookb like the coming
catcher of the league.
Merkle at first base Is a great ball
player, but I do not consider he has
anything on Stahl In any department
of the game. He can whale that ball,
but so can Jake, and Stahl is getting
that 'batting oye of his back.
Doylo the Brains of Infield.
At second base Doyle is a fast man
In every way and certainly has some
thing on Yerkos. Ho is to the New
York team what Wagnor is to tho
Boston nine. He is,a heady player, a
slugger, scrappy and earnest. Mc
Graw made him and he is a McGraw
tyie. Without Doyle the Now York
team would look like the Boston team
without Wagnor.
Larry Gardner Is a better ball play
er as a fielder and hitter than Hor
zog. In fact, he has him outclassed,
whllo Fletcher, at short, will be made
to look small compared with Wagner
Fletcher Is a good fielder, a fair base
runner, but rather weak with the
stick.
When one considors the outfield or
tho Giants in comparison with that of
-"- r
the Speed Boys the only man who can
bo considered Is Snodgrass. Surely
Murray, Devore or Becker do not
framo up with Lewis or Hooper.
Tho Boston team has tho greatest
outfiold In tho game Tako Lewis in
left, with Hooper In right, each man
playing a deep field, with Tils Speak
er playing a short conter field with
his groat ability to get back for ballc
knocked over his head, and there is
nothing in the National league to
compare with It. These three men
aro a team in themselveB. Their mar
velous catcheB of seemingly Impossi
ble chances will stop any swatting
the Giants can produce.
Base Rnnnlng Ability.
The Giants are by far a better
base-running team than the Speod
Boys, but they will have to got on to
show their class against the work of
Carrigan or Cady and Wagner. Hein
le's work blocking off the runuers at
second Is something the National
lengue champions haven t been up
against yet Tho old cry that tho
New Yorks "will get Wagner and
Carrigan" Is a familiar one. I have
heard It for some seasons now that
the Americans league would get them,
and each man is very much alive at
present and neither expects to bo
cut to pieces In the world's scries
Tho infield work of the Speed Boya
Is superior to that of the Giants. One
weak spot in the early season has
been turned into one that will bo very
effective against tho Giants, Steve
Yerkes Is playing a fine game at sec
ond, with Wagner on one side and
Stahl on the other while Gardner at
third is the class Each man Is an
individual player of excellence but as
a team playing quartette thoy shine.
Certainly they are the equal and, I
feel, the superior of tho boys that
form tho Infield for the Giants.
Wnen it is all discussed, the subject
onco more reverts back to the battery
work of the two staffs or pitchers
and catchers In my opinion the bov
that will cause the most trouble lor
Boston Is Tesreau. while Wood will
win for tho Boston team uith ease
Theso two twlrleru are likely to ap
pear twice in the series, at least. As
against Malhewson I feel that O'Brien
or Bodicnt or Collins should prove
effective, and I do not look for a ser
ies of more than five games Boston

PURITAN RULES
FOR CUB PLAYERS
Chicago, Oct 1 President Murphv
of the Cubs has taken a leaf out of
Barney Dreyfuss' book, and next year

FITZSIMMONS TO
ANSWER SHARKEY
(By Bob Edgren )
Tom Sharkey didn't realize what a
lot of trouble he was hunting when
he announced that he wants to "come'
back" aud clean up the present day
crop of alleged "hopes."
Tho other day tho guardian of our
office door was brushed aside and In
stalked Bob Fitzsimmons. Bob shook
our hand and as he did so surrep
titiously scattered snuff on the floor
behind him with his Invisible lefL A
,draft was blowing toward tho man
aging editor's desk. Tho managing
editor sneezed. Bob grinned. That's
just like FJtz. with his kid tricks. Ho
has neither awo nor respect oven for
tho mightiest. If Fitz ever treads the
path to the pearly gates I'll wager
ho'll take along a snuff box to Bpring
on SL Peter at the wicket.
Well, Fitz shook our hand. That
accounts for tho coarHe, hard lines In
Monday's drawing Fitz's grip always
reminds mo of the time I raised the
top of our ice chest in the dark and it
fell back on my knuckles. If Bob can
squeeze your fingers until they're
twisted Into a sailor's knot, or unex
pectedly givo you a wholeaouled slap
between tho 'shoulder blades that
mokes your vertobrae Joggle around
and got mLxed up like a Chinese puz
zle, he's perfectly happy. Not that
ho meanB you any harm, but that was
tho latest way of expressing an Irre
pressible sense of humor In Australia
in 1890, whon Bob left for tho States,
and he's never forgotten 1L
When we had recovered from the
handshake Bob showed his snuff box
to the copy readers nd then lent It
)
to an office boy to show to tho ole
Yator man, and wo sat down behind
the sporting desk for a chat.
"I see Tom Sharkey wants to como
back," said Fitz. "Well. If Sharkey
wants to come back I'll givo him a
chance him or any of theso bloomln'
white 'opos."
"I thought you retired a couplo o
years ago," said I,
"Sure. I rctlrod," replied Fitz. "But
I need tho money. Tho show business
hasn't been any too good lately and
I've had a lot of expense and trouble.
I guess thero's nothing for tho old
man to do but to go back to fighting
again. I may not bo as good as I
used to be, but I'm 3trong and
healthy, and if I couldn't lick the
heavyweights I've seen around tho
country in the last -oar I'd go back
to horseshoeing. I'm not bo old
only 51. That Isn't old for a man
like me that's always taken care of
himself."
UMPIRE'S LIFE IS
NO ROSY AFFAIR
Disliked by the playors and exe
crated by tho populace, the umpire
fills a nlcho In the national game that
Is not a bed of roses He is usually
tho first upon the field and Is often
the first off, sometimes leading the
crowd by only a small margin. He la
always troubled with his vocal chords,
and while It is the Intention of those
In power that the umpire announce
the batteries to the fans, the only
words discernible aro ' Play ball!" It
serves a usoful purpose having him
take off his cap and approach the
crowd, however, for thus manj are
able to fix his features so firmly in
their memories that after the gamg he
can be caught out and maimed or oth
erwise ill treated by disgruntled pa
trons of the sport. During the prog
ress of a game the umpire is tho tar
get for language, alleged wit, lemons
and othor bric-a-brac, but. owing to
the faulty aim of the mob, taken Indi
vidually, verbal mlstiles are the only
ones that reach the mark
Ball plajers are often quite rough
with the umpire, as far .as talk goes,
tut in such caseb the umpire holds up
five fingers, which is not a signal
foi a drink, as some might believe, but
sign language, meaning that the of
! fending player has been mulcted five
j bones. Should the disputant pursue
the argument, ho will then be chased
from the park and returns no more
to the scene of battlo until the next
day. It is a heinous offense for a
player to strike an umpire, as their
lives are valuable men with courage
enough to follow the vocation being
scarce.
Whllo the umpire Is accused of be
ing a bandit, highwayman, burglar,
petty larconist, porch climber and oth
er things, tho police court records
show by tho absenco of umj w
names that said umpires do not-f ';
a Hfo of crimo during tho
months. 2
