Conclusion rt the major league sche
uule to-day clears the decks for the
world's championship combat. The
pennant winning clubs, the New Y'ork
N'ationals and the Boston Americans
'leaned their slate yesterday and have
h> day and to-niorrow to rest up for
tne first of the big games in New
York on Tuesday.
The prediction made before every
?orld series that the crucial games
Kill be pitehor.-c battles usually proves
.orrect. It was so last year with the
exception of cue game and promises
to be so this year.
A chami.is hip struggle was never
ipproaehed with keener interest in the
reliance placed upon th ? pitchers than
is tli- ease this year. In Boston yes?
terday they eeielirated the twenty
third anniversary of the birth of Jo?
seph YVoo?. a date which has generally
passed an noticed in previous years,
but on this occasion it marks the offi
c'al conclusion of a league champion?

last spring, and added him to his sti iug
of recruits. Instead 01 making use 01
him, however, MeGraw farmed him
?ad to Toronto. It was there t>.ai .
Tesreau showed his first promise anu j
I by tht: end of the season he was haled (
I us one of the best pitchers in the |
; Lastern league, having mastered the
art of 'spitball.' McGray recalled him, j
; only to be disappointed in his wild- j
' m-ss the first of the season, but by j
I miusuntiuer he regained contidcncc in
the young pitcher and has since been
rewarded with the sensational capture

j teen games won to five lost, as the sea?
son closes. Tesreau stands at an aver?
age higher than any of his colleagues
on the Giants' pitching staff. Mc<iraw
considers him the peer of Ed. Walsh,
the famous "spitball" pitcher of the
Chicago Americans. If he -keeps his
control he will undoubtedly, be given
the greater part of the box work for
New York in the world series.
The acclaim of Tesreau and Wood,
however, has not altogether over?
shadowed (uas oluer favorite either here
or in Boston. The veteran Matnewson
la still steady and effective with a
fadeaway ba.l as his specialty, and ?
on tue \vhol. Is still the mainstay in
the Giants box. Rube Marquard ex?
po: leaned a losing streak aftet his
?nsatlonal run up to July 4. aad came
i ror harsu criticism from some of
j tfte fans. The only explanation of his
IStrangs s BOB is that he gave way to
the nervous strain of his winning
I streak. He Is now in good physical
I trim, however, and will undoubtedly
] have a share in the big games. "Old
: Doctor" Craadall Wiltse and Ames,
i the remaining members of the Giants'
pitching statt, are all considered strong

SORA ARK PI.K.N'TIFIL.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Claremont, Va. October t.?Those I
who love the sport of shooting Sora I
had gunning to their heart's contetit J
last week. High tides in the Chipoax
and Chickahomlny rivers and plenty
of fat birds, made many a hunter
happy.
A party of men from Cincinnati.
Ohio, have been negotiating for the
purchase of the old heading factory
with a view of establishing a canning
factory in Claremont for next season.
They will can nothing '? ut tomatoes
and sweet potatoes.
That Claremont literature and ad- !
vertislng is attracting home-seekers j
from other parts of the country was I
evidenced by the appearance of three|
men here this week, two of whom hailed i
from the faraway State of Washington I
and the other from Indiana who are j
looking for farms. AM of these men !
state that they represent from three
to six additional families who will
come to Claremont if conditions are i
suitable.
That Surry County farms are rofit-|
able is evidenced by the almost daily |
reports of big crops and big profits
made off of Surry County soil. On* |
man bought an acre of timber land ?
near the rtver for the small sum of;
|6 and sold one hundred trees off of :
the place for a dollar each, and stil! I
has the land left. In a few vears I
he will have about fifty additional j
trees that will be worth a dollar each
off of this same acre of land. Another J
farmer who only tills twenty acres i
of land reports that his gross income
from his rarm is over $100 per month.
This same man cams to Claremont
more than twenty years ago and did
not own any land whatever. To-day
he ia a city alderman and a director
in the local bank. Kvery dollar he
has was made from Surry County sol'..
Another farmer has ninety acres of
fine land that brings him In a tig
income. From a thirty-acre patch of
clover he threshed out a ton of seed
and sold It to Blchmond dealers for
five cents per pound. The clover hay
yielded sixty tons, 'or which he re?
ceived $27 per ton The above land
on which this clover arew Is now
making a crop of late potatoes which
will be harvested In November.

tionably the most picturesque writer on baseball topics in the
United States, augmented by the complete and exhaustive re?
ports of the Associated Pros will cover the World's Series, the
first game of which begin* in New York to-morrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock, for The Times-Dispatch. Each of these features
will be exclusive to The Times-Dispatch, and no one interested
in the series can be well informed unless reading the reports of
the c\pert<.
Cohb's name is a household word. His reports of the games
which appeared in The Times-Dispatch last year were regarded
as thr last word in expert baseball analysis. Grantland Rice is equally well known to the base
bail loving public. He has a style all his own. a style which, by the way, has made his
offer-.ngs in demand by the leading newspapers in the I'nited States. The accuracy, complete?
ness and entertaining style of the Associated Press writers needs no comment.
In sedition to these features. The Times- Dispatch's electric scoreboard, manned by ex?
pert operators, will tell the story of each game, play by play, just as they happen either in \cw
York Of J*o*ton. The board has been placed on the Bank Street side of The Times-Ihspatch
Building, so that the thousands interested may have a full and fair view of the games.

Asheville. N. C. October 6.?The Ashe?
ville Board of Heal'h has under con?
sideration the segregation of all sani?
tariums and boarding houses which
eeeeive patients suffering with any
contagious disease. For some time
past a law has been on the statu-.*
books making it a penalty for a per?
son to conduct a sanitarium without
obtaining the consent and approv*.
of its location irom the Board o(
Health, but the board has found that
it has a great deal of trouble in keep?
ing the cases la hand properly and
it is expected that early action will
be taken In regard to this matter.
At the last Joint meeting of the
j Board of Health and Aldermen, re?
quests for conducting sanitariums
were presented by T. G. Smith, K. J.
winans and Henry F. Claudius, and
the members of the board rejected
them without a dissenting vote, pro?
perty owners having objected to their
locations.
\\. h~ Johnson has been elected to
membership on the Board of Alder
j men to succeed the late Josiah M
Jones, whose death occurred several
weeks ago. Sir. Johnson will repre?

attempts to circle the ends. It waa

V iigima was enabled to run up as

now and then the backs cleared the

considerable ground, but more Ire?

the clever tackier* on the Methodist
agMaeX
on the defensive Virginia was far
from her usual form. The one player
uhu showed up well was a substitute*
Karrow. who was a candidate last tall
for full oack. but who was kept out
of the game the latter part of the S?a
Mil when he was accidentally shot,
while cleaning a pistol. The big fel?
low broke through the line time and
again yesterday and played havoc with;
the Kandolph-Macon backs. It looks,
asm as if he might land a place in tho
line. If he succeeds, the' Orange and
Mae forwards will average about 190'
pounds. Karrow Is a veritable giant,
but is green at th ? game.
McDonald used yoor Judgment yes- \
terday in tackling a Kandolph-Macon .
back who was In the act of receiving,'
a punst. He hit the player before he
could even touch the ball, and Vir?.
Klnla was promptly penalised twenty-1
live yards. McDonald was under the*
impression, however, that the Ran-1
doiph-Macon man had caught the pig-,
skin.
With five big centre men. it looks a.
pity that Virginia cannot find a hefty
pair of ends from among tho excess i
of line material. Thus far there Isi
little fault to Und of the showing mads

Donald, but It must be remembered
that only small teams have been,
played. Vanderbllt and Virginia are
especially strong on the ende having
heavy men and sure tacklere Flnlav
and McDonald are both effective tack

get the opposing backs close to the
ankles. The question Is whsn they
strike a team with s powerful Inter.,
ference. will they be able to hold thsle'
