Th this have passed and set the

It ttt)i a. skv of cobalt-blue, a wind

Ai-ooping banners sent them snapping
from their poles. And on. a4 sides- ot
the Fenway the ugly skeletons of the

Wlthin these walls a climax of men
-waa oocurrtng, an awful drawn strain
the like of which I had never seen be
fura not -even at Indianapolis Chat red
day in May, when men went mad be
alnd the steering wheels and smoking
racing cars from the track. 'For the
teams of 2 ew York and Boston ' had

gray Giant scattered to their posts in
the ' field, as the RedV legged men of
the home "team came running to the
&os-ovt, massing for the' last attacflc,
v a tall, straight, broad-shouldered man,
rrt down anosg them, talking hasti
ly; and he was Stahl, the same, quiet,
unemotional Stahl of Illinois perhaps
hi face a little, wrinkled, his hair be
ginning to gray at thevtemp-les, but he
was leading his team to a second
championship. ' '" J".".
Xo. the. past it was tor .tne traajtion
r i, nfiilMC: for spirit, for the swell
ing ambitions of youth, now it was
for money amosrt $3,000 more 'to his
players if they won.) Yet, although
tradition had gone from his life, spirit
and ambition were etfll there Bot
more than that, a deep-laid Vengeance
had eoroe into it, a desire to see- New
York beaten, taken down. ,8ew York,
which, -when Stahl had done hia best
for its - Yankees, had poured abuse on
his head, -calling, him "Joke," -instead

about to take a world's championship
'from them. . - , . .
' X watehed him as he stood there on
Hho' lines, silent, nnworried Just as he
had stood that day at.-Galeeburg a
decade ago. I watched htm as, turn
lug to the bench, he waved Wood into
shadows and sent the fair-haired, mn
gle to bat in his stead. I saw the
great Mathewson, master of his art.
swing the loose body of him backward
and, springing forward, Teitaee the ball
as from a catapult. I heard the prash
of " Eagle's hat. : saw. a ihite speck
moonting toward the blue , heavensv
saw it reac the crest of its are, hover
uncertainly and begin to fall. And
Stahl was disappointed, for at the bot
tom -of -the arc -was Snoflgraaft sure
death on a. hit of this. sort. But,, stand
ing there, far afield, hi back to the
blescners, - his- race to ine sertmg. sun,
Snodgress trembled. An unfortunate
realization of this moment came to
him; what if ihe dropped the ball now
descending so lazily, what if the easy
catch turned into a miserable error;
what if R. did and -the runner should
subsequently win a world's champion
fl&ip in the tenth inning, mean a loss
of more than . a. . thousand dollars to
each of his mates.
Then the strain .told. In a trice his
frayed nerves had parted; down bolted
the ball, looking big and -white, diffi
cult to hold In a basket, let alone a
matf glove of leather, and the heart
of him gone. Snodgrass thrust up his
hands only to see .the ball bounding
from them, go rolling over the grass
sown Dy tne rtrst -ease coacmng line.
The heart of another man pulsed rap
idly, for Stahl had scented victory and
found it red. How he -waited there In
a pause of uncertainty- as his next man
went oat you may imagine. Always
fie kept watching the sturdy Engle,
now leading off second-; the great
Mathewson, somewhat nervous, per
haps about to tail; Mr. Mathewson,
whose skirl alone held off the triumph
that must be tile, still but one was out.
and with the Giants giving signs- of
breAking there was a chance that one
run enough to tie perhaps two, then
-victory would come, and, believing in
us mm, scam waixea.
Now. Speaker stood tapping the
plate; a cool, dangerous figure that
abrougT.t confidence to stahl, ana ab
ruptly the confidence was justified, for
something- wnite naa ashed into rifrtit
and Engle ploughing up -the Mrt and
had beaten the ball in a race for home.
So did the climax come, a eta Re set as
by Belasco, the red-legged forms of
Yerkes an Speaker ready to dart
from third, from second; the great
Mathewson ralterlng in the box, the
quiet Stahl watching his every move.
fiad done, thinking no doubt of the
$30,000 blunder that had been made be
hind him, Mathewson lost control; the
frrinning IVewis trotted to first on balls.
Still the expression of the tall, dark
haired Stahl never changed. The bases
were full, one was out 'but a run
needed to win the greatest prize in
case b&T!, and Stahl glanced curiously
at the New York bench. Not an emo
tion of the situation had taken him

tired from base ball only to find the
game's call too strong for him. Maybe

ONE TICKET FOR '
HARVARD CONTEST
; The Yale t ticket department has is
sued - graduate application blanks for
the Princeton 'game at Princeton, No
vember 16, and the Harvard game ait
New Haven, November- 23. Applica
tions for the Princeton game close at
6 p. m. November 4; for the Harvard
game at 6 p. m., November 6.
The shortage of tickets for the Har-
vard game - last f all which resulted j
in me throwing out of 1,000 names
has led to a change igt the method of
allotment this year. For the Har
vard ..game no "borrowed applications?
will be received;' That is, every grad
uate must apply In his own "name ' for
his own tickets with the ..implied un
derstanding' that they are for -his. own
use, and not to be turned over to
friends. . " '
Furthermore in, order to put a pre
mium on the scaling of seats to the
exact number personally needed by ; the
applicant, applications calling for a
single seat will be allotted first of all.
Following these wil come appicatlons
for single seats where two appioants
have pinned .their envelopes .together,
signifying- that they desire their seats
together.
Next will be allotted all applications
calling for two seats, which is the
maximum to be allowed on any one
application. - It . is hoped that by this
method enough graduates, will be
tempted to sacrifice -quantity to qual
ity so that all who- apply will be able
to get some kind" Of a seat. The
method will assure ev9ry man who is
content to ask for one seat only of
seeing the game - w,hile there is al
ways the possibility thiat the applicant
for two may find himself among those
drawn for exclusion if - the final -analysis
shoul show more applications than
tickets, as last year. .
For ther Princeton game the old rules
hold. Bach graduate may apply . for
three tickets and there is also a "bor
rowed application" form - on . which
those who wish to -lend their applica
tions may so signify. Personal ap
plications will be allotted first, it be
ing the desire to give the best seats
to Tale men and the supposition be
ing that "borrowers" are not Yale
graduates. in general the smaller the
number of tickets asked for the bet
ter the allotment. Cheering- section
tickets .are limited to one on each
name and blanks may-not be pinned
together. For the Harvard game the
graduate cheering section is. abolished.
of Bridgeport Club for
Season
"After making a careful investiga
tion I am convinced that the team's
slump was due to the fact that some
members of theteam did-jiot give the
club their best services-. There was a
lot of indifferent playing and .those
players . won't get much -consideration
from me next season." ; - ; ,
The indifference to which the owner
referred was undoubtedly displayed by
those who were mixed up in the Tom
Crook feud. '-. Crook was -in bad with
several players among them . being
Jack 'Spratt and Freddy Gibbs. This
dissension demoralized the team and
put Bridgeport put-of the, running-at
a time when it looked like a pennant
contender... c :,f : " r ,
McCann was not anxious to
take
charge again unless conditions were
to i be different from' Jast ' season." He
wants to be boss of the squad for he
realizes - -ghat no manager- can win
games if another man, .as in the case
of Crook last season, wants to be
leader. . - w -
Crook is. a good individual player
but from the time he became ambitious
to succeed .McCann, the club went to
pieces. ,:' ' : ..
MoCann points with pride ..to the
fact that he has been here three seas
ons. . That is ".better record than. any
other Connecitcut league manager, can
show. -

Chicago, Octv . IS. The i Chicago
American League team won the city
title yesterday afternoon, handing the
Cubs one, of the worst trimmings the-
w wi ue latent . ever recerveo- . Tne
score .was. 16 to 0. The White finx
started to make -a -runaway race ' of
the-'.game right off the reel, scoring-one
run in the. first innine .and iwn mrra
fti ti secolod. orlti he tbar Found they
put eight tallies over! the plate on nine
hits. The- final resul of, the series
was four games to three.
Ed Wialsto pitched.-for the 'American
Leaguers, and held the Cubs to' five
bAts,',- The-. Cubs used "live pitchers.
Of this number Fred -Toney. who. fin
ished the game, was - the only one-who
showed any- class. ;"Ohly. one hit "iwas
made off him. ; .:'-'.,.-. -.-
-Lavender started the game, but was
hit so consistently that he gave way
toSmith. 1 Reuibach was quickly sent
to relieve Smith, -and then Jjeifleid,- the
southpaw, was rushed: to the rescue.

runs. Toner was- sent in; He suc

at mat the Sox had . grown: tired . of
running - the- .bases and took things
easy in the rest of the game. .
Tne,. Jop-sided score left a bad ' taste
in the mouths of the fans, and many
are saying the Cubs quit." It is a -fact
that the West' Siders did not show, any
fight such as they displayed in -the .pre
vious games, on the other -nana, it is
argued that ball players- are ;not-going
to quit when a victory would have
meant several hundred dollars more in
each- man's : pocket. r .
nut despite all' arguments to the
contrary, the -slaughter caused all sorts
of adverse comment Here. Many bugs
insisted that the Cubs were . trying to
get even . with Murphy for his ' asper
sions of the team during the recent
controversy over , the drink clause,
which the Cub boss will insist upon
being inserted in each contract. ,
Davender started' on the firing line
for .the- Cubs and was hammered for
three , runs in two . innings. Charlie
Smith was the next victim. .' The Sox
touched him for tiu-ee straight hits and
then Reuibach was hammered " for
eight runs in the fourth' inning. Del

CONNIE MACK HAS
PRAISE FOR STAHL
"Jake Stahl, the leader of the Red
Sox, is the man who turned the trick
for his team," said Connie Mack, of
the Athletics. "He had two guesses, he
made them both when he sent Hen
drickson and 'Single up to bat for Bed-lent
and Wood. ;
"There is an old saying that a man
ager of a ball club has only one guess,
the world' has all the rest. Had Hen
drickson failed to hit, then the fans
would have figured it this way: There,
he has taken out a great young pitch
er, who was going great, and what
good did it do? Again, had Wood been
hit bard the fans would have claimed
that Stahl blundered in pulling Bedient
from the game. Then Engle batted
for -Wood, and had he failed and the
pitcher, possibly Ray Collins, had been
clubbed, again Stahl would have been
censored. Yes. Stahl took a long
chance,- the logical one to be sure. It
took a game manager: to go through
with it; he did and he deserves the
credit.
"Bedient made good, that was his
first gamble. Hendrickson made good
that was hia second j chance, then
Wood made good; that was his third
chance; then -Engle made good, that
was his fourth - chance. , , If , you ask
me who won the series, "who ; deserves
the credit, ril say J. Oarland Stahl,
manager of the 1912 world's champions
the Red Sox, was the mighty man."

RED -SOX GETS BACK
Local
Boy Who Is Member of
Champions Praises Giants
' (By Wagner)
Neat Ball, "the local boy who is a.
member of : the Boston , Red - arose,
champions of the world, arrived home
late this afternoon from Boston." He
and Mrs. Ball made the trip by auto
mobile and said they had a fine time
on the road. In accordance with their
custom for the past five years, Mr.
and Mrs. Ball - will spend "the winter
with Neals parents-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. George Clark of Connecticut avenue-
. . ,
The ball player was well- pleased
with his luck at being connected with
a world, s cnampion team not only lor
the glory but also for the financial re
turns. He had a check for $4,024 and
a few centsi which is his share of the
proceeds of the world's series with the
Giants. i .
"I was treated fine by the Red Sox"
said Neal, "Manager Stahl is a fine
man to work for and all the players
like him. I know I was pretty lucky
to go . from Cleveland to Boston in
mid-season and then get in on the
big money. But that's part of the

ES ON POINTS TO WIHRL
WIND FROM B ADITMORE.
In a bout 'that fairly bristled ' with
speed and, cleverness on the : part of
botn" contestants Kid Williams-" of Bal
timore gained the honors over Johnny
Couioru holder of the . bantamweight
title, in ten rounds: at Madison
Square' Garden, New York, last night.
The Baltimore youngster, showing the
best form he has ryefr exhibited forced
the going -from thejsoart. and. with his
soeed. strength." .- and - a-rKressiveheesii
icept the champion, on the: defensive.
At the dose of ten '. rounds the honors
belonged to the youthful Southerner,
but . the -margin , c" victory was not
very great, - - -
- Both boxers entered the "ring below
the bantamweight limit of ,116 pounds,
so the , bout carried a' championship
aspect, though . the title could not
change hands except through ; a knock
out. Coulon carries his title today for
the , reason that no decisions are al
lowed in New York State. Johnny en
tered the ring last night much below
his usual weight, the ringside weigh
ingrin showing him' at 111 1-2 pounds
in ring costume. Williams weighed 115
1-2 pounds.
From the start there was no sign of
nervousness on Williams' part such as
might1 'be expected from a- youngster
of limited experience in the ring when
opposed to an old master and season
ed campaigner like Coulon. Williams
bore an air of seriousness all the way.
He showed ho inclination to give
ground or to be feinted into openings
which Coulon was trying repeateaiy. to
force him into. AH through the bout
he showed good Judgment, let Coulon
feint until his arms were tired, and
when he was ready to lead, he did so.
The bout was such as-might be ex
pected from a pair of, speedy veterans
rather than a youngster against a
champion. .-
4 Coulon, although ' outpointed, showed
that he still is a pastmaster in ring sci
ence, and he made . up in ring craft
much of what he . lacked in strength.
His showing was hardly up to the
standard of his other bouts of late
years and it created the impression
among those who saw the bout that
Coulon'a star is setting. He fought
hard, all the way, showed flashes of
briliancy at times that made Williams
aDDear at a disadvantage, but they
were only flashes. Against the strength
and steady attack , of the - Southerner
Cotilon could not Keep up the work
well enough to stay in front. He gave
the best he could, and the best was
not enough. "
There -was no stage of the bout when
either boxer was in distress, and
nothing- like a knockdown occurred.
In fact, neither boxer received a blow
hard enough to make him stagger.
Not' a djrop of blood was shed by
either. - It was a high class exhibition
of scientific boxing between the boys.
who rank at the head of the bantam-
weisrht division, and produced as much
clever work as could be crowaea into
ten rounds.

isn't true. The Red Sox didn't quit.
It was simply a case of the pitchers
going, to pieces. ,
"When a, club gets five "or six runs
from your pitcher as the Oiants did
against O'Brien and Wood in the
Monday and Tuesday games; " why the
beans are smiled.' The Boston players
were in there doing their best but the
Giants had too much of a lead. One
thing they have to give the Sox credit
for and that is .steadiness. The boys.
in contrast with .the Giants, stayed on
the ground all the time and that qual
ity (rave us the series."
. "The Giants deserve a lot of credit
-They are a brilliant, hard hitting team
but it was simply a case of some of
their - players cracking . under ; the
strain. My tinger that was injured
in' the latter part of the season, - isn't

Philadelphia, Oct. 19. Horace Fo
geL president of the Philadelphia
National League Club, , is to be ex
pelled from that organization and
practically blacklisted by organized
baseball. The stockholders of the
club have been told that they must
prepare for this or one other alterna
tive. .
: The alternative is the sale of the
club. The stockholders are now ready
to part with their holdings,- chagrined
that Fogel has put them in this posi
tion. It is said that the Elliotts' in
terests are particularly sore at the
turn affairs have taken. Two syndi
cates are known to be forming to take
over the stock of the club. One of
them is composed largely of capital
ists. with unlimited means at their
disposal, and are ready not only to
pay a good price for the club, but
also to strengthen It. "
.Through all the difficulties that the
club has passed the fact that the own
era have got to Md themselves of
Fogel is the thing that is uppermost
In the minds of the men who are in
terested in organized baseball. The
Elliotts say that they have received
an offer for their stock, but they will
not mention figures as yet- 'William
Elliott said: . . . (
"My lips are sealed at this time. I
am not ready to talk. An offer has
been made, but it is not time to dis
cuss what we are going to do. When
we are ready we will talk, but not un
til then."
In the meantime the Meyers syndi
cate, which is practically close to
President August Herrmann, of the
Cincinnati Club, is busy, and it is
freely predicted that these German
bankers will be ' the jiewi owners; of
the club . by the time the National
