NEW YORK. August 31.?While
either gate receipts nor attendance
^figures are expected to be broken at
ithe coming world aeries, baseball fans
throughout the country are certain to
jjVatch the daily returns with more than
^ ?.ihe usual Interest, owing to the
^Changed conditions under which the
iierles will be played. Two outstand- :
?Ing features art apparent which have i
;taot heretofore been faced by either tne I
players or the magnates at any time
!nn the history of the baseball classic.
j-J No euch national or international
?j'Crisis has ever prevailed during the
playing of a world series as exists at j
.this time. Under normal conditions the
{"annual clash of the pennant-winning
clubs of the rival major leagues has
*(M.ch season been one of the events oi
i.ihe year. The play was followed each
^d&y by liundrcds of thousands of base- ,
ball enthusiasts in all parts of the
^country. Great cities and little hamlets j
isolated sections of the continent
have witnessed the daily gathering of
^ 'ttfrongs before the bulletin and player
boards to follow the fortunes of the
competing teams. To-day the mind or
?.the public is burdened with great re
sponsibilities and cares, and the world t
/series at best can be but a momentary
[diversion.
tf&UTPOLItl.NG OF I'ltK VIOL'S
VKAItS IS .NOT KXI'ECTEn
SM.Under the circumstances. It appears
certain that, while the games tnay r>e
-tajoll attended, there win be nothing
like -the great outpouring of ran* .
which have each year rtlled the pari;*
ic capacity and swelled tn<* coffers or
? the clubs and players, strange to say,
thla Will make little dilTerencc to the
' who will participate in the dia
mond battles, for under the new system
of apportioning the winner's an?l
individual share of the receipts tney
tepn secure but .a liKed sum, regardless
spf the total of the gate receipts.
? As adopted last winter by the two
^leagues and the national commission.
4*he amended regulations provide that
sach member of the winning club shall
receive $2,000 as his share or the world <
lerieH proceeds, while the loser's in
dividual end will amount to $1,400. The
^ftotai of these sums will come from '
?Sthe usual CO per rent of the gate r?--'
Jceipts for the first four games of the
^series. The new arrangement, however,
'iicalls for^ a further distribution of the
{.balance of this 60 per rent fund amon?
ithe players of the three clubs whlcn
?finish the pennant race of both leagues,
^respectively, second, third and fourth.
jfi After the money apportioned to tne
Jplnyers of tin- two competing teams
ihas been deducted from the original CO
per cent, the residue will be divided
upon the following b.-.sis: to tne players
of the National and American League,
clubs finishing second in their respec
tive pennant race. 50 per cent; to the
third place clubs, 30 per cent, and to
fourth place club.s. 20 per cent.
I This new arrangement does not af
i feet the club owners or the national
[ commission, however, for tne old rule
(of distribution still prevails. Of the
i 40 per cent of the gate receipts of the
first four games, the national commts- .
| aion will receive 10 per cent and tiie
i club owners 30 per cent. After ."our
games have been staged the player*
cease to participate in the distribution,
and the national commission will re
ceive 10 per cent and the club ? wners
90 per cent. The winning and losing
clubs are called upon, nowev.-r,
divide 25 per cent of their world .-erii-.s
Share with the other seven clubs .;i
their respective leagues.

[By Associated Prt?8.]
CHICAGO. August 31.?Captain Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, who this w?>? k stepped
from the spotlight of baseball into the
chemical division of the army, took j
with him the 131S batting honors of'
the American League.
Ah the Detroit star stood bowing be
fore the failing curtain of the game,
fandom realized that be had taken these
lirst honors every year since 1912, with
the exception of one occasion, when In
IS Hi Tr.s Speaker nosed hiin out.
Cobb's average, according to figures
teleased to-day. is .377. Burns, of
Philadelphia, is second with .346. and
George Sisler. the St. Louis first base
man, third, with .337.
Cobb, however, did not excel In base
stealing, for Sisler, with a total of
forty, leads by six over the Georgian. ;
Chapman, of Cleveland, sandwiched be-!
tween them with thirty-six. Chapman
is leading In sacrifice hitting, with
thirty-four, while Shean. of Boston, is j
close up with thirty-three, and Me
In n is, .-"bean's teammate next with
thirty.
Babe Ruth, the Boston star, and
Walker, of Philadelphia, remain tied
for honors in home-run hitting with
eleven each. Boston. 191S champion.,
leads the league in club fielding with
an average of . I* 71. but is sixth in
team batting with ."46. Cleveland, the
runner-up in the race, tops the league
in batting with .260. Leading batters:
Cobb, Detroit, .377: Burns, Philadelphia, :
,34tl; Sisler. St. Louis, .337: Speaker.

the Brooklyn veteran, for the lead, ac
cording to to-day's averages, which in
clude games of Wednesday. Wheat's
?r.nrk is .341. Roush is three points
behind him. There are only two mem
bers of the Chicago cluo, champions
of the league, in the select group of
3"0 hitters. They are Hollocher, the
youthtul shortstop, and Merkle. who.
considering his playing record of this
season, will forever silence those who
dubbed him a "bonehcad." Hollocher.
with an average of .320. dropped into
fourth place, relinquishing third to
Heinle firoh, of Cincinnati.
Max Carey, of Pittsburgh, is certain
to finish the race with base-stealing
honors. He has stolen fifty-five base3. J
while George Burns, of New York, next
in the list, has thirty-nine.
ROUSH IS LEADING
SACRIFICE HITTERS
Roush is the leading sacrifice hitter,

burgh.
In home-run hitting Cravath, of
Philadelphia, tops the list with seven.;
Cincinnati is in first place In team hit
ting with an average of .27S, while
Chicago is second with .267. Chicago

Club at Hopewell.
Paddie Mills, of San Francisco, lit
tle aggressive ' Westerner and former
pupil of Tom Sharkey ana Frankie!
Kice, whose home is in Baltimore, are.
t'o meet in the main bout. Mills has '<?
been in the ring ten months and has'
defeated every opponent lie has faced.
Reports of Rice carry all the indi
cations that Mills will have all he
wants for six rounds.
Mickey Brooks, of Baltimore, who
has been acting as Kid Williams's
sparring partner for some time and
who is a right and hard-hitting little
scrapper, will take oti Buck Stone.
Stong is a willing mixer and never
fails to give mat fans a good, fast
fight.
Billy Wollsieffer, the fast and clever
little Richmonder, whose prowess is
well known to local fans, will tackle
young Ketchell, of Newark, N. J., now
with the United States Navy at the
Norfolk Navy-Yard.
The wrestling match will be between
Fritz Hanson, one of the toughest,
cleverest and most scientific grapplers
in the game, and Zeke Smith, who
some months ago wrestled to a draw
with Hanson before a packed house
In the Academy of Music.
Indications point to a large attend
ance of Richmond fans. The first bout
will be staged promptly at 8:45 o'clock.

FAITH TO "BABE" RUTH
Manager Ed. Barrow Counting on
Big C'loutcr to Oirset Chi
cago's Strength.
CUBS HAVE EDGE IX HURLERS
Behind Plate Windy City Aggrega
tion Is Again Supreme?In Bar
ting Boston Seems to Be Much the
Stronger Team.
NBW YORK, August 31.?It's an even
money bet to-day that "Babe" Hutu
will be the home-run hero of the 191S
world's series.
Although the curtailment of tne
baseball season this year robbed the
Boston southpaw swatamlth of an op- j
portunity to break the nomer records,
lie has promised to equal or surpass ;
Benny KaufT's circuit clouting I" the
annual classic this year. Ruth's
mighty bat must be reckoned with as
a factor in comparing me relative
strength of the Bed Sox and Cubs as
they line up for tile fray.
Manager Kd. Barrow Is counting on
Buth to do double duty during the
series for the championship. Tie will
probably ask Ruth to pi ten at least one
of the games, and to take his place ?n !
thp line-up. either in center Held or at
the initial sack on his "off" days.
The pitchers who will work for the
Cubs will be big Jim Vaughn. Lefty j
Tyler. Claude Hendrix ana Phil IJouc- i
las. Carter as a fifth choice may be'
used If needed Manager Mitchell i?.;
reported to think well of this youngster
and may start him in one of the con-!
tests afw'r his "aces" have been given!
a trial.
Opposed to this pitching staff. Bar- j
row will have "Bullet" Joe Bush to
lead off. Mays, Jones and Ruth. As
substitutes he may call upon Kinney,
and Pertica. Jones has had the best
season of his major league career, and'
will probably be given an early airing
against the Cubs. If Barrow was a
little better supplied with dependable
twirlers. he would be able to allow!
Buth to devote his attention to his bat-j
ting eye instead of his pitching arm.
After a survey of the opposing:
pitchers, it might be said that the Cubs
have the edge on their Eastern oppon
ents in this department. But. of course.
It cannot be guaranteed that the "In
vincible three"?Vaughn. Tyler and
Hendrix?will be able to stand up under
the fire of the American League bats
men.
CI" IIS AG AIX SII'RKMF,
UBIIIND THE PI.ATE
Behind the plate the Cubs are again
supreme. There is no doubt that Bill
Killifer is the best backstop in the
game at the present time. In this
position the Sox will have Agnew as
the regular, with Mayer or Schang for
relief. O'Farrell will be comparatively}
evenly matched with either Mayer or
Schang as a secondary defense in this i
position.
The Sox infield line-up is yet a little
uncertain. That is. It is uncertain
whether Ruth will cover the initial
hag or play in the outtield. In the
event he is used as a fence guard. Bar
row will be compelled to depend on
Truesdale or Cochran to cover third,
shifting "Stuffy" Mclnnis to first. Scott
and Shean will occupy the two remain
ing positions of the first line of ae-!
fense.
Against this line-up in the infield'
the Cubs will have Merkle at first.
Zeider at second, Hollocner at short
and either Deal, McCaoe or Pick at
the far corner.
As to the comparative strength or
the infield, there can be very little
said, except that, if Ruth is covering
first for the Sox, they will have tne
edge.
In the outfield the Sox will have
Harry Hooper, Amos StrunK and Ruth,
or one of the utility players. Prob
ably Schang will lie assigned to tne
parade grounds in the event that Rutn
is used at some other place in the
line-up.
The Cubs will have Leslie Mann, Max
Flark and Paskert in the outfield.
While the Cubs present a strong
force in the outfield, none of the three
Mitchell will depend upon are as strong
at bat as Hooper or Strunk.
As to batting, the ?all-important fac
tor. it looks as though the Sox will be
supreme. While the Cubs have been
hitting hard all season, one of the chief
reasons for their ability to hit may be
attributed to the low quality of pitch-]
ing they have faced in the National i
League. Unless the Cubs do some ex- 1
traordinary swatting in the. series, it
seems the offensive of the Boston club
will be the stronger of the two.

fBy Associated Press.1
FOREST li IL-US. X. Y? August 31.?
R. Llndley Murray, California, repre
senting the Niagara Kails Tennis Club,
won his way Into the final round of the
annual turf court championships here
to-day, and Tuesday will meet either I
\V. T. Tiiden, Jr., of Philadelphia, or
Ichiya Ivurnagae for titular honors.
Murray won his place In the final by
defeating S. Howard Voshell, national
indoor champion, of Hrooklyn, 6-4, 6-3,
!>-6.
Kumagae advanced from the fifth
round to the semifinal at the expense
of L.yle E. Mahan, winning at 4-6, 0-3,
0-0, 0-1.
The Japanese will play Tiiden on
Monday.
Conditions were far from favorable
for fast play this afternoon. The larg
est gallery of the week gathered for
th? two matches, however, and were
lewarded by homo spectacular playing.
Murray easily held the upper hand in
the first two sets, but with the match
: turning against him in the third set,
j Voshell litted his game to remarkable
I heights. and by taking desperate
chances, In which fortune appeared to
f^vor his play, ran into a lead of 4-2.
It appeared as though the match would
go into extra sets, but at this stage
Murray changed his tactics and an
chored himself as the barrier, and by
spread-eagling first at one side and
then at the other, Murray's great ag 1
ity and net smashing,, combined with
his service acelng, finally gave him the
load at 7-6.
Kumagae's victory over Mahan was
much more easily won. The tall New
Yorker appeared utterly unable to con
trol his strokes during the play, and
the Japanese was not any better in
the Initial set, which 'Mahan won at
6-4.
Earlier in the day H. L#. Taylor, of
Brooklyn, won the Junior national
championship by defeating J. llennes
sy, of Indianapolis, at 0-4, 6-2, 6-2.
INTENSIFIED ATHLETICS
AT V. P. I. THIS YEAR
Coach Bcrnler Arrive* and la .Makine
flans for Active
Seauon.
BLACKSBURG, VA? August 31.?
Coach Charles A. Mernler, graduate
manager of athletics and head coach
at Virginia Tech for the coming ses
sion, has arrived in iilacksburg and is
busy perfecting his plans tor the I
coming football campaign.
Everything is being put in order!
for the opening practice, which is I
scheduled for September 5, two days
after the arrival of the Freshmen,
who have been ordered to report for
matriculation on September 3.
The coaching beginning on the above
date will be devoted entirely to the I
new men. Strenuous physical drills
and the football essentials will hold j
sway for the first week. The old foot
ball men will be expected to report I
for practice between September 15 and
20.
The team this year will be made up
almost entirely of freshmen. The
three-letter men who will return are I
Crisp, the one-handed "phenom;"
Lester, his right-hand man in the line, ;
and Doug. Roden, of Richmond, who !
played such a stellar game at end !
last year. Among the old men who
were on last year's squad and will re- ]
turn are, Jim Hardwlck, of Blacks
burg, who was considered a regular |
last year until he Injured his shoulder;
Kldridge, McCann. James, Hitchen*.
Hutchinson, Copenhever and Rice. All I
of these men received guoii iunua-1
mental training last year under the j
present system of coaching, so they 1
should be in line to fill the gaps mude J
by the loss of so many letter men. |
Coach Bernier has been in touch with
a number of prominent prep school j
boys in different parts of the State, and !
all are awaiting the first call to take !
a "once over" at the material from
which the 191S Varsity is to be formed, j
Football at Tech this year will be !
for the small cadet as well as the |
large. Intensified athletics is Bernler's |
hobby and with his ability to develop i
athletics from green material Virginia j
Poly should have a team well up the
standard this year.
