We have reached the next to the most
Important question. You must remem
ber that these are individual values,
and that when we come to reduce these
figures to the final value, the worth
of each man in defense is his indi
vidual worth plus or minus the Import
ance of his position. The importance
of the catcher is much more in defense
■than that of any of the regulars we
|have studied, almost three times the \
worth of a left fielder, for Instance.
These figures would be more satis
factory to Philadelphia fans if Bill '
Killlfer was in his best condition. The ;
damaging of that sterling athlete s j
throwing arm was something of a blow i
to Moran's hopes and his long lay off
■ haves Killifer’s average considerably
and brings up Burns’ importance even
If Killlfer gets into condition to catch
up to near his standard.
To reach the value of a catching staff
for a world's series it is necessary to
pursue a different method from that
used in computing the value of the
other players in such a series. We can
not reach the value by figuring how
much Cady is worth as batter, base
runner, etc., as backstop, thrower, foul
grabber, watcher of bases, worker with
pitchers, blocker of runners, etc.; we
cannot pursue the same course with
L'arrigan and Thomas, and divide by
Hkhree. What we must do is to figure ail
Ipoints of offensive and defensive
strength of each man, then figure how
nany games each will catch. Jimmy
Archer on the bench isn’t worth as
much as Tom Needham would be
tatohing two innings.
To reach this conclusion is not hard
with Philadelphia. I have figured four
)&rta Killlfer aWd two parts Burns in \
he Philly catching dope. In Boston 1
have figured four parts Cady, two
Thomas and one Carrigan, on the the
ory that the Bed Sox manager will be
In there steadying pitchers, or will
pinch hit in some game and then don
the wind pad. Cady will, of course, do
ill the work with Wooo and Carrigan
Is not likely to start himself except
with Ruth, as catching naturally de
tracts from his value in handling the
earn and directing its frlay. He will
;atch Ruth’s game and perhaps be in
)&rts of other games. Thomas is hard
o figure, but he will work with one
[>r two of the left handers unless they
show symptoms of wildness. Carrigan
will not let him go far if the pitch
ers begin to look unsteady.
Killlfer undoubtedly would do all
Philadelphia’s catching but for the fact
that he has been out of commission
and Moran might fear that he would be
>verworked or knocked out entirely
and he may use Burns early. Killlfer s
irm has been in worse condition than
many suspected and even now it is far
from being strong.
Let us Btudy them individually. Car
rigan is the dean, of course. He Is not
what he was. He has slowed up, he
loesn’t hit the way he did, and he was
slow to start with and is not now a
leavy slugger. He is a dangerous man
at bat, in spite of low percentage, and
always was one of those fellows who
tracked the ball at the opportune mo
ment. He has a lot of confidence in
Bill and is likely to send himBelf to
>at in a pinch and when a manager
loes that he would better make good,
rie is still the same old Bill In worki
ng pitchers, and not a little of the
?reat success of his pitching staff has
>een due to his patience with and his
encouragement of trying youngsters,
le will study Carrigan at closer range
n the study of managers and can re
gard him as a catcher only. He Is a
?rand backstop, steady as a rock, cool
ind a very fair thrower evert now. He
cnows batters and works with his
dtchers well, or, rather, makes them
vork with him. His calm steadiness
lelpg nervous, skittish pitchers not a
it tie.
duly, who is the real catcher of Bos
on, is a huge fellow much after the
'arrlgan type save that he is a much
tarder hitter. He is the best swatter of
he catchers under scrutiny, and is lia
>le to hit one a block. He slams most
f his hits in one direction, which handt
nps him, but even ..then, when you get
big, slow moving fellow who takes
ibout as long to reach first as It does
'obb to take two bases, and who still
fits .280 and hits the good pitchers, you
save something.
With his weight and strength, Cady is
the ideal man to catch speed pitching.
His chief reputation as a catcher has
been due to the fact that he has caught
Smoky Joe” Wood, which is one of the
bi rdest tasks In the business, especrany
when Wood is a bit wild. Cady handles
W * od to perfection and he and Wood
have become baseball affinities, and since
Wood certainly will work in two games,
Cady becomes correspondingly important
as a factor in this series.
Thomas has been doing more catching
this season than either Cady or Car
rfgan, and his handling of the left-hand
ers has been excellent. He has enabled
Carrtgan to stay closer to the bench and
devote more time to running the team.
He is not a great catcher, although he
is faster than either Cady or Carrigan
find throws very well, even if erratically.
It is well for Boston that the Phillies
are not a base running ball club. A
team of speed boys might upset that
catching staff, which has not had much
practice in throwing this season chiefly
because their pitchers did not allow op
posing runners to reach first. It is a rule
of baseball that a player must reach first
before he steals second and that kept
Detroit from beating the Red Sox out
of the pennant because two of the Red
Sr.x pitchers do not hold runners close
to the bases.
In offensive strength we find the Bos
ton catchers leading the Phillies by a
comfortable margin, and they also are
ahead a bit in defensive operations and
on the season's worth. For worth in the
coming series Philadelphia makes a bet
ter showing. This is because of Killl
fer—always provided he Is in playing con
dition..
Bill Killifer is a magntflcfet catcher.
If he were at the top of his form just
r ow, it would be a question as to whether
oi not he would not reverse the figures. ,
Of course, Killifer lost caste when he '
jumped to the Federal league and then
jumped back. It hurt him. He has not
received the press agenting or the admi
ration since then that was lavished upon
him before. You don’t read so much
shout Killifer, but the fact that his name
is not so prominent in the papers does
not detract from his worth out there in
tl-at whitewashed angle.
Killifer is one of these hustling, agile,
rat-like moving catchers that have be- 1
come so popular In modern baseball. He <
is quick, a flash thrower, making quick :
and unexpected pegs around the bases, ,
and he backstops well. He handles Alex- .
ander’s speed and Rixey's uncertain
shoots with equal facility, and he catches 1
all styles of pitching, which, oddly i
enough, the Boston catchers prefer not
to do. Killifer has more speed »ian any (
of the catchers of either team and Is
likely to take a chance on the bases. ,
He hits normally about .250 and hits well
at any kind of pitching.
If he has managed to get Into condi
tion for the series, he will improve Phil- j
adelphia’s chances a great deal with his
fighting spirit and hustling, aggressive ,
style.
Burns, his understudy, fs a mediocre \
catcher, and a hustling fellow with a ]
lot of baseball brains. He has done grand
service during the incapacitation of Kil- ,
lifer and is a fair catcher, willing, and
a good backstop, a fair thrower and a
weak hitter who is dead on the bases.
Moran will not use him If he can avoid
it. Neither will Moran figure as a
catcher, although Pat might do worse
than to step in himself and steady up
Rixey If that erratic genius commenced
to wabble.
Tomorrow we tackle the pitchers, and
that is the crux of the whole situation,
as Tommy Rice use J,o say, until some
one asked him what crux meant.

QASTLETON CUP IS
WON BYPETER VOLO
Grand Circuit Opens at
Lexington With a
Big Day
Lexington, Ky., October 4.—Peter
Volo won the $3000 Castleton cup at
the grand circuit meeting here today
and not only set a new mark for the
race, but a new world’s record for a
stallion for two heats. His time in the
first heat, 2:02Vi, Is the best made by
any trotter in a regular grand circuit
race this year.
In the first heat Peter Volo and Mar
garet Druien raced head to nead to the
half, going the quarter in 30 seconds
and the half in a minute. Margaret
Druien began to drop back. Peter
Volo made the three-quarter pole in
1:31 Vi and then was eased up, Marrga
ret Druien finishing second.
In the second and final heat Joan
dropped in behind Peter Volo and Ross
B. This order continued past the half
mile post, where Ross B challenged the
champion. The quarter was reached
in 81 Vi, the half in l:01Vi, the three-1
quarter pole In 1:81 Vi and the mile in
2:02%. Ross B beat Margaret Druien
handily for second place.
Duchess, driven by McDonald, won
the 2:10 trot in straight heats. The
2:07 class pace was easy for Ray
Richmond In straight heats.
May Direct won the opening heat
of the ^2:14 pace, but the best she
could do in the second was fifth, Mar
gie Hal taking the heat. In the third,
however, May Direct "came back"
strong, winning in a drive from Bud
Elliot, Margie Hall being third, and in
the fourth May Direct won easily,
Margie being second.
The attempt of William, world’s
champion pacer, to lower his record to
wagon, was postponed.

RED SOX AND PHILLIES MEET
IN TWENTY-FOURTH SERIES
New York, October 4—Although 31
years have elapsed since the first bat
tle for the baseball championship of
the world was won by the Providence
(R. I.) •‘Grays,” there were several years
in which the struggle was not repeat
ed so that the coming contest between
the Boston Red Sox and the Philadel
phia Nationals will be the twenty
fourth series to be played for the pre
j mier title of the diamond. The In
augural contest In 1884 was won by
the Rhode Island team, then champions
of the National league In three straight
' games from the Metropolitans, the
standard bearers of the old American
association of that year. Unavoidable
lapses occurred in eight of the sub
sequent seasons. There was no compe
tition for the world’s honor in 1891 or
1893. There was also a five-year lapso
from 1898 to 1902«incluslve, but In 1903
the Boston Americans beat the Pitts
burg Nationals five games to three.
The following year's championship was
claimed by the Boston Red Sox by de
fault as the New York National league
club would not permit its 1904 pen
nant winners to play the American
league champions.
In 1906, however, the two major
leagues arrived at an understanding
after the matter had been thoroughly
discussed during the winter months,
and the world's championship compe
tition was placed on a solid basis. The
national commission assumed control
of the annual series and made It com
pulsory for the pennant winning clubs
in each league to have their teams
meet at the close of the playing sea
son every year, the world’s title to go
to the club winning four out of seven
games. Rules were adopted by the ha- >
tlonal commission which governed ev- 1
erythlng connected with the post-sea
son battles. Arrangements were com
pleted regarding the disbursement or
the gate receipts between the winning
and losing players, the club owners
and the national commission and to the
merest detail everything was done to
the satisfaction of everybody inter
ested.
Under these new conditions the
post season games were resumed ana
they have been played every year reg
ularly sine 1906. In the fall of that
year the New York Qiants defeated
tho Athletics of Philadelphia four
games to one and scored the first win
ning of the world's title under the new
regime. Thfc rival Chicago clubs had
the issue between them In 1906; Com
Uky’s White Sox winning the honors
by four games to two. The Detroit
Tigers won the American league pen
nant for the next three years in suc
cession but failed to add the world’s
title to their string or victories as they
were beaten in the post-season battles
of 1907 and 1908 by the Chicago Cubs
and the following year they lost to
Pittsburg, when the Pirates nailed
both the world's championship and Na
tional league pennants to their mast.
Connie Mack and his Athletics were
dominant factors In the two following
years, they scored a four to one vic
tory over the Chicago Nationals In 1910
and In the 1911 series they squared
their defeat by the Giants In 1906 by
taking McGraw’s players into camp
four games to two in the battle for the
world's title.
Then followed the great eight-game
series between the Boston Americans
and the Giants. Probably for a long
time to come 1912 will be remembered
as the "banner year" as In addition to
& tie game the Red Sox players, sev
eral of whom are still in the Boston
Une-up, went the limit and forced Man
ager MoGraw to a four to three defeat.
Philadelphia Connie Mack and the Ath
letics scored a third world's victory
in 1913 with the Giants again losers,
the New York team winning only one
game out of five. Last year the Boston
Braves made a clean sweep In the post
season games, taking four straight
from the Athletics, after a sensational
spurt and final victory in the National
league race.

PIRATES REFUSE TO MEET
BESSEMER IN POST-SERIES
DISBANDMENT OF POSTOFFICE
TEAM CAUSE OF CAPTAIN
DILLARD’S REFUSAL
The Bessemer Rooling Mill team and the
city amateur champions. Pob toff ice, will
not meet In a post series as hoped by
many amatenr baseball followers. The
facts came to light yesterday afternoon
when Manager Baumgardner challenged
' the Foetoffloe nine through The Age-Her
ald. Capt. Jerome Dillard of the city
champions promptly refused the offer
and settled the hopes of the Birming
ham fans to see the Bessemer organiza
tion set down in defeat
About two weeks ago. during the city
elimination series, Captain Dillard,
through The Age-Herald, stated that he
had received numerous challenges from
the amateur teams about the Birmingham
district, and that after consulting the
members of the team and their support
ers, they had decided to play the Besse
mer nine, who had about the beet team
In the district.
Captain Dillard of the Pirates gave the
following statement when asked for his
vtlows on the question: "The fact that
the Postofflce team fears any team In
the state can be distinctly proven to
be false by the fact that they beat
every team In Birmingham. As to play
ing the Bessemer team, we had It In
mind but never did reach a definite con
clusion on the matter. The championship
series ended so late and other disad
vantages disrupted our team ao wa could
not possibly play then) under the Post
office name. As the Postofflce team Is
strictly under the rulings of the Blrmlng
hr m amateur baseball commission and
the Bessemer team la not, we could not
play them, and with the assurance that
we were playing an amatur team. Childs
and Babson have both left the city and
this would considerably weaken our team.
The Bessemer boys may rest assured that
we will not play them, that's final."
