The floldlng of tho Red Sox Is also very strong and all statistics favor them over New York. The Giants have an exceptionally stropg team and I believe they will make a much stronger flcht than they did In the series of 1911. They will go into the 1912 series knowing the ropes bet ter, and will settle down to business much quicker than they did last fall." Hugh Jennings says: "The Giants, while lacking the abil ity of BoBton. may find that tho expe rience In last year's series offsets Bos ton's natural advantage.

Rlgler called on Clarke and Dreyfus. Clarke says no baseball player should Jeopardize his futuro and the chances of his team by going on barn storming tours. An accident in ono exhibition game. Clarke says, may de stroy a player's future and hurt the chances of his team. "These players want to go out play ing for a month for $350 and ex penses." said Clarke. "Just offer one of them ?350 a month in a contract nnd llston to the roar." PITTSBURG TRIO HAD LONG RECORD When PittBburg traded Tommy Leach and "Lefty'rLeifleld to tho Chi cago Cubs for Artie IIofTman and "King" Cole, one of the greateot trios of baseball players known In the his tory of tho game was forever broken. The trio was composod of Honus Wagner, Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach, the "Big Three." It was form ed 13 years ago. when in tho reason of 1899 Tommy Leach, a fast boy, was sent to play third bane for the Louls vlllo Colonels, which team was then on the National league circuit For 13 years these three groat play ers hung together electrifying tho baseball world, winning four pennante and one world's championship. Greatest Trio. Probably no such trio ever played togethor as did tho "Mighty" Wagner, the groat leader, Clarke, and fast and brainy Leach After playing together iuk Louiavillo one year the National league circuit was cut down to eight clubs, and Ixmisvlllo was consolidated with Pitts burg in 1900, and Fred Clarke was made manager. In 1901, 1902 and 1903 Pittsburg won the National league pennant. In 1903 Pittsburg lost in tho world's cham pionship series to tho Boston Ameri cans after winning three of the first four games, Clarke, at the head of tho peerless trio, kept on and In 1909 again won the pennant and beat Detroit for tho world's championship. Leach always bottod before Clarke, and Clarke boforo Wagner, and many a pitcher wont out of the game brok-on-hearted through the hitting and base running of the throe. Pittsburg became known as a threo-raan team through their great work. Some Idea of the heart-breaking paco lod by these men can bo had from the fact that 6,905 times thoy hit safe ly after coming to bat no more than 19,043 times; of these 5,905 hits tho total bases were 8,300, and 940 were two-baggera, 486 three-bnggero and 156 times their clouts wore good for the whole circuit. How they rim bases can be told no better than tie record of 1,159 steals BhowB. There great playerB combined han dled 16,530 chances out of a total of 17,538. Handle 18,330 Chancen. Leach wound up hid gTcat Plttabupj career agalnet 8t. Louis by sending a fly to Bvana in right fiold but not until he had hit two singles and a three-baee hit, helping Marty O'Toolo win his game. It was a flttiug end In Pittftburg for Leach, because 22,500 fans who watched him for ycarB saw his career In Pirate uniform come to a glorious close. As this multitude looked on not a. soul knew that Wee, who was respon sible for six of the runs In that game, would no more drive men ahead of him and conoh faltering Pirato run nerfl. In 11 of the 13 years that Leach was with Pittsburg he made over 100 nits per season, while another year he made 92. In 1900 he was only in 46 games, making 34 lilts. WOLGAST IS AFRAID OF TWENTY ROUNDS (By E. J. Gelger.) Chicago, Oct. 7. Has Ad Wolgast reached tho stage in his pugilistic ca reer where he fears twenty-round battles? Docs he find himself slip ping, or Is it just tho country that has made him what ho is? Those arc the questions that local critics are asking themselves today as a result of the champion's recent actions. It is well known that until Ad hit California he was classed among the second raters. Ho made his start there and he finished as a champion there Now he is slighting tho boys who gave him his first boost Recently Tom Jones and Jim Cof froth got together and arranged for a Thanks&lvlng day match, in which the champion was to star There was some sort of a misunderstanding and Jones journeyed to Now Orleans to sign his charge there. Immediately Coffroth got busy and when he and Jones again got on the wire. Thomas assured him that the turkey day dale would be filled and that he and Ad would be in Frisco In time to get Into shape. Since that understanding Jones has hooked his youngster up with Joe Mandot in- a ten-round af fair, to be staged In or near New Orleans He is negotiating with Philadelphia for a six-round contest Winnipeg wants him for a short .if- 1 fair and ono of the northern MIchi- I gan buigs would match Ad to box at ono of the fairs. And Jones Is go- l Ing right ahead with these proposed ! battles. Ho says his charge wants to fight ! four times before January 1. In a littlo over an hour's talk hero with. Tom not a word was mentioned about tho Frisco affair. "What are they doing for yon out in Los Angeles?" waa one of the questions asked Tom. His answer was Bhort, If not sweet" "I really don't know." Johnny Kllbane, ifeatherwoiht champion, has again declined an offer to box Charlie White, local feather weight Billy Gibson of New York offered the champion tho match, but tho latter said he wasn't Just ready. Somehow or other, Charles cannot got Kilbane since White defeated Shu gruo and Dundee handily. Eddie McGooEty'B manager today wired here, saying that he Is going to make a desperate attempt to hook Mike Gibbons on a wager Eddie 'knock out the St Paul sensation wllh- I In ten rounds. Johnny Coulon Is considering an-' other trip to Los Angeles and San ! Francisco for matches. He has wrlt- j ten McCarcy and Coffroth, he says. SUGGESTS PLAN TO HELP LEAGUES Portland, Ore, Oct. 7 W W Mc Credie, president of the Portland baseball club, would revolutionize the organization of baseball He would erect a baseball structure around each of the sixteen major league clubs, force each club to recruit from its own house or family, establish ; fixed salaries for tho players In every league except the majors and elim inate all financial operations regard ing playei'3 except those of salaries. "Tho trouble with baseball of to day, particularly Niu the leagues un der the A classification, is that many of tho clubs cannot afford to pay the salaries necessary to maintain a good team," suys MsCredie. "Baseball is badly in need of a reorganization, with clubs usually graded downward Many towns are ' ti'ying 10 support B and C ball which should be suppcrtinp a D or E club, with salaries from ?40 to $75 per month. "The plan would be to effect a re organisation, placing the towns In leagues where thev can support the ! ball, fix a salary for every msn in, those leagues, and build" them up 1 around the various sixteen major j league clubs' By tho minor league clubs being associated with tho six teen major organizations each has a definite field for recruiting players. "While 1 would fix the salaries In 1 each club at a figure In harmony with tho finances of the league, and would pay each man the samo sum, the In centive to rise, so noceBsary In tho samo, 1b still there, for every man has a chanco to roach tho top. "My schemo would permit each ma jor loagvte club to roach down through Its chain of subordinate clubs and pick up tho man It needs, not hold ing it to tho A club Immediately un der It. The A club or clubs com prising tho last step in the ladder would be entitled to reach downward to the first steps If necessary and se cure recruits with not a cent paid for the men In any case." DENVER PLAYERS RETURNING HOME The Denver home boys who havo been playing professional baseball in the various major and minor leagues are arriving home to spend tho win ter. The first arrival was Buddy Ryan, who wns sent homo by Cleveland four weeks ago on account of a badly strained tendon resulting from a dif ficult Hlide Into the home plate.
