The Boston club has proved a, little gold mine for James R. McAleer during his one year's connection with the team. He has $200,000 In the Boston club, of which $130,000 represents his savings. The remaining $70,000 was borrowed without Interest from President Com Iskey of the Chicago White Sox. McAleer tells with pride that for the last etght years his Income as man ager and scout has been $20,000 a sea son. He saved hla money. Already the profits for this season equal his Investment and after the world's ser ies he will have a snug sum left over. Eddie. Sar.lrv. the former feather weight, who wis a star In his day, Is stricken. with pnraljsis nt his home in Chicago, In view of the impending world's series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants, baseball critics In the east are beginning to compare the present Boston team with the world's champion Athletics of a ear ago. Comoarisons, of course, are not go ing to win a series, but nevertheless they can give a fairly Interesting line on the caliber of the men who expect to defeat the (ilants and keep the world's championship in the Ainericuu league. So far as catchers are concerned the Athletics of a year ago appear to have a shade on the present Boston aggre gation. Carrigan is a star beyond a doubt, but no better than Ira Thomas Lapp, Vo far as hitting and throwing Is concerned, is and - was ahead of Cady. There is no comparison as regards Infields, and It was this Important point that won both the pennant and the world's title for the Athletics. The present Boston infield does not size up. with the Athletics of 1911. Baker Is a far and away better batter, par tlcularly for a short series, than G. ml ner, and Is not so many points hehim Mm In fielding, with the exception of the matter of touching out runners. Jack Barry has an advantage over Wagner, even though Wagner Is ii grand shortstop ami good pinch hitter Barry has a big margin In base run ring. Is one of the timeliest hitters on the team and Is it grand fielder. At second base there can not be the slightest comparison between Collins and Young Yerkes. Collins bats fully 100 points better, runs banes l.non points better, and Is a better Holder. A year ago Harry Davis was at first base for the Athletics, and of course. In that point the present Boston Ini tial sack plaver, Jake Stahl has a big margin In his favor, In Tattln fielding and all around activity This Is the one point In the infield where Boston has the better of It. In the outfield Boston nt presen' bas nnc star who far outshadows any one man In last years Athletic out field. He Is Trls Speaker. He gives his outfield a big leader. However Dan Murphy was Just as far ahead! of the other outfielders as Speaker l ahead of Murphy. Dan was a great bitter last year, 11 good thrower and Inside worker. Hooper ind Iewls overshadow any hl;fg that Lord. Hartsel or Strnnk showed last season in fielding am' throwing, but Lrd was a better batter than either of the pair find both Strunk and Hartsel averaged abou' the same as they, have this ycr. In the box, Boston's three best men Wood. Collin and Hall, show no bet ter now than Coombs, Bender an1 Plank did last year, thouah Ber'lenf and O'Brien are better second Vtrln? men than Morgan was In 1911. How ever, It l the three stars of each team that did or will decide the Is sfle. . Coombs. Bender and Planl v-ere Veterans at the top of tlmlr form In. the 1911 world's series, while Wood, Hall and Collins are going Into their first big event.' On paper and by the basis of this comparison, Boston does not look a bl stronger than the Athletics did when they went Into the world's series, of 1911. If they look us good. The ques tion Is, has New York Improved or gone back In that time. On this will hinge the series because the American league Is admittedly strong this year. ANSON'S WISE WAY THAT COULD STILL BE USED v 'I Cayt. Anson's rule in the old days was: 'if ou get four baih with a :tihii on third, ! keep rlabt on for sc-tond with- out stopping ut tlrst. You'll get them rattled." And the Old Man himself, aj;ed and ticrulerou?, always made good on hls or- dors. When l.'n.Ie received a I' pat.s with a man on third the patriarch would put cn steam as he galloped to irst, round the Initial peak will; uli the Mpeod he had left in him and thunder rUht along without I even '.vaitine for the pitcher to get into petition. It was, .f oorrse, vp to tne. man on third to Hop around and draw g.n- ! oral attention- and, as a ruie, ! Cnclc was s-ife on secord. -J-while the other runner lie- ! qucntlv scored. TACKLES MUST BARE THE BRUNT OF THE GRIDIRON ' CONTESTS THIS YEAR HARD TO AGREE ON WATER POLO Task of Making the Game Uni form Almost Hopeless Imi urtna the past two reasons Pitcher Lew Richie, of the Cubs, hes vor twelve of the fouiteen games he has pitched against the Giants. In some quarters thev declar that Murty OToot". Pittsburgh' $2!.50fl pitcher. I a failure. M?hf he is. But he hss taken part In mere than thlrt games, winning half of them, which is not a bad record for his flrsl season n fast company, ? The tackles not the half-backs will line! manufacture the feature plays on the gridiron this fall. The rew rules throw practically all of the defensive strain on the L T. and R. T., and in addition they will be ex pected to be twice 11 active on of fense s they were in 1911 , With the exception of one baektleld position, the tackle Job always has b en considered the most difficult on the team to play. The position riot only requires a heavy man but one gifted with more than .the usual amount of football brains. The tackle, like the rover in hockey, Is expect n to he In every play. He Is coached to pile np the line rmashes of the opposition, dash out and nip end runs, beat the ends down under punts nl on offense well, if he can carry the ball consistently, form Interference i and numerous other things he's there with the stuff. Off-tackle bucks have, ever sinr football was introduced, been the most common on the gridiron. It Is seldom that a charge Just outside that sta tion doesn't net the offensive side a Mibslantlal gain. I'nder the old rules It was necessary to guin 3 1-3 yards ouch down to retain possession of th bull. I'nder the new code this dis tance has been reduced to 'j yards g down, the eleven In possession of th' ball having four downs In which to gain th required 10 yards. Among other thing! these off tm kl bucks are the rnot dangerous. Most of the serious iicidents In football have been caused bv t'-ree or four Sacks 'hargtng a lone tackle and bowl 'ng him over like a shot. Kvans, of WooetT. !! rr.e of West 'tber players were killed manner. I'nder the new rules a can be made to one of th the other half, fulloack and quarter back can be qsed as a battering rain In open up a hole for the runner car rying the ball. The team with the greatest tackles will hive th stronaest defense this fall. It hsppens that most of the cn- forenee elevens are equipped wltn first -class players. New York, Oct. 2. The swimming authority s of the .Amateur Athletic unioni are facing a problem that is giving them u lot to think about nu they frankly admit b In worried over the water polo situation, for It looks like a hcpeless task to try to get the various aquatic mter-sts to a; ret? en the adoption of nio one tjpe of watet game.
