The Box Score Dopesters Won't Strain Their Eyes for Many a Long Day to Come CALL'S DOUBLE PAGE OF SPORTS Another Great Indoor Game BIG SIX TELLS OF NEW SYSTEM TO TEST NERVE OF A BASEBALL PLAYER CHRISTY MATHEWSON The Giants* Star Pitcher WHILE riding along in our special train toward the coast last week the discussion of nervousness during a world's series came up, as the recent clash between the Giants and the Ath letics was still being played over. "Jimmy" Callahan is one of the best talkers in the part}', although "John J." pretty nearly ties him when it comes to narrating. As far as the rest of us go, we are prac tical!}' handcuffed for conversation when these two get started. "Jimmy" had the center of the platform at this time. "It's funny," said James, "how some ball will go along through the regular season as steady as a self-winding clock and then blow up in the big series. There's a man on your club, John, who does that—a pitcher. An Ameri can league umpire was telling me a funny store about this pitcher. " 'I saw him warming up before a game in the series of 1912,' said this urap, 'and I could tell he was very nervous. A friend of mine In a field box was telling me what a great pitcher this fellow is. " TU bet you $10 he can't spit right now.' I said, to prove my contention that the pitcher was nervous. " 'How are you going to prove it to win the ten?" asked the friend in the box. " 'I'll call him over and ask him to try.'" That is a new test for nervous disorders, but the next time you are afraid of something, try it . and see if it is not true. Collins Balks at Vaudeville Stunt On the ball field I am never nervous, but the first and only time I went on the vaudeville stage my mouth was so dry that I drank a gallon of water before the act. I would not have been able to successfully undergo the umpire's test for nerves. Speaking of vaudeville, some enterprising fellow who thought he saw a piece of change ln sight was trying to get Eddie Collins and "Home Run" Baker to go on the stage this fall after the big series. Baker, who does every thing »lse just as he knocks out his home runs as a part of the day's work, was willing, but Col lins protested against being con verted into an actor. "I'll do whatever 'Cocky' does," agreed Baker, who would just as soon pick up a nice, healthy bit of money for acting as not. "Cocky" is Collins' nickname, and an apt one, because of his ag gressive nature. "Not for me," answered Col lins. "There would not be atmosphere enough in the theater for me to breathe. I'd never catch my wind. And when I got through I would be sure that the audience would incline to the belief that the air I breathed in the theater could be put to better use." Matty Is Strong For Game of Golf Golf is becoming the great came for ball players. Big leag uers are taking up the Scottish national pastime every day. I had never tried lt myself until this summer, and I became stuck on iv I Intend to spend most of the winter in California, and most of the daytime on the golf links. I ran into "Jimmy" Mc- Aleer of the Boston Red Sox just before I left New York. "Nearly all the boys on my club are going to play golf this winter," he told me. "I under stand that you are going in for the Highland game, Matty." "It's great stuff to keep a man In shape, 'Jimmy'," I told him. "It makes a man walk 10 or 12 miles a day and gives his muscles the easy swing that keeps them from stiffening up during the off season. It is also fine for the eye." "We never used it much in the old days when I was in the game," suggested McAJeer. "It is something new, like this style of having fancy scales for weighing babies every day." "But you haven't seen this crop of babies grow up yet," I said. McLean Entitled To a Large Cut I believe golf Is a good game for ball players. McGraw ob jected to it once this last season when the Phillies were pressing the, Giants pretty hard. It was not because he had anything per sonal against the game, but be cause he thought lt used up too much of a man's energy in the middle of the summer to get out and play IS or 36 holes of golf in the morning and then go in and work a hard ball game In the afternoon. Besides keeping the muscles limber, it Improves the eve, as an accurate eye is half of the golf game. I know that my batting average increased since I be gan to play it. There has been a good deal in the newspapers recently about "Larry" McLean being sore be cause he received only $500 as his share of the Giants' world's se ries purse. I did not think that this was a fair deal to the big catcher, and I was strongly in favor of giving him at least $1,000. He played as good ball as any man who got into the series for the Giants and was largely responsible for our only victory, because it was his hit that finally started us toward some runs, and it was hi» steady work at the plate on an extremely close play that cut Strunk off with what would have been the winning run ln the ninth inning. Some of the plaj'ers did not want to chip in to give the big catcher more. The disposal of the money will probably be left to McGraw himself if we get into another world's series, as all the players have great faith in his absolute impartiality and there is I less chance of dissension among j the men as a result of the divi sion.

He will arrive here in a couple of weeks and, accord ing to his present plans, he intends to spend the winter in Califor nia and will pass away the time on the various golf links throughout the state. Today the famous pitcher offers the fourth of his series of stories. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS AT OAKLAND Sao Francisco 6, Venice 4 , Morning- Game Venire RHP AEI 8. F.

Giants Wallop Sox On a Sosev Diamond uu/ ■ — ■ ■ — KANSAS CITY. Oct. 27.—The Giants beat the White Sox, 6 to 2, yesterday afternoon before a crowd of 3 300 shivering fans. The weather was cold and raw and a morning snowstorm had converted the diamond Into a sea of mud. After Russell had blanked the Giants? for three rounds, Faber was given a tryout. His wildness, coupled with some shaky support, quickly clinched the contest for McGraw's men.

Call Tossers Down The Brown Brothers In a ganw featured by the all around playing of the winners, The Call baseball nine defeated Brown Brothers' team yesterday morning at Recreation park .by a 5 to 2 score. Considering that amateur teams were playing, the crowd on hand was a good one, fully 1,000 persons being In attendance. Rock of the winners' had a good day ln the box and should have won by shutout.

In the first of the Portola games' at the stadium the visitors showed their ahllity by winning easily by 3 goals to 0. Yesterday on the dirt field the .California team won by the same score. Neither side had scored up to half time, and what advantage there was looked to favor the locals-. The Cali fornia team kept up a steady attack, but the northerners' defense was strong and the net was kept clear. VISITORS ARE PENALIZED Shortly after the start of the second spell the visitors were penalized for charging, and Dyke took the kick and netted. The local team now started In a desperate attack, and from another penalty kick later the second goal was scored by Dyke. The British Columbia men came back after this, and Plcknell Just missed a beautiful shot. With a lead of two goals gained on penalties the California team was urged on to its best efforts by the crowd and eventually took the play back to the visitors' territory. Here a series, of long kicks by Hunter, Mc- Klernon and Towns passed the ball to Dyke, who sent a fast shot past Goal Keeper Sharp. After this the locals eased up slight ly In their attack and held the visitors safe for the rest of the game. The teams lined up as follows: B. Columbia. Position. California.

Jewish Field Meet Cleverly Captured By Sabbath Schools The Jewish Sabbath Schools Athletic league team yesterday defeated the B nai B'rith team at the stadium track by a final score of 109 points to 70. The league team tallied heavily In the 80 and 100 pound divisions and made a clean sweep in the 80 pound division, the B'nai B'rith failing to net a single point in this class. Ralph Allen of the winning team was the individual star of the meet, taking firsts in the high jump, stand ing broad jump, running broad jump and the shotput. Little Benny Schlock er, who has been a star of the Hebrew orphan asylum team for three years past, was again to the fore yesterday, taking the 50 yard sprint and running broad Jump and taking second in the 80 yard dash. Schlocker competes ln the 80 pound division. | COAST LEAGUE \ Club— Won lost Pet 'ortland 109 86 659 acramento 103 94 523 'enice 107 102 Sit an Francisco 104 108 SOS ,os Angeles 100 108 4*4 skUnd SI ISO «f»' Silk Hat Harry's Divorce Suit SANTA ROSA SHOW IS SUCCESS Local Dog Fanciers Well Rep resented and the Judges Give Good Decisions JOHN BRADSHAW ne-ncn snow Judge and Kennel Expert Tlie recent Santa Rosa show was well patronized by San Francisco i fanciers. In fact, nearly all the win ners belong here. A. J. Molera headed the list with 14 entries. He entered « Airedale terriers, 3 English bull dogs, 1 French bulldog, 2 forterriers, and 2 dachshunds. Molera's entries carried off about 18 first prizes. In cluding special prizes for best dog of its breed, and mostly with dogs of his own breeding, which makes the wins much sweeter. Mrs. E. F. Brown, Mayor Rolph and Dr. Herbert Rodley were the other exhibitors with a large entry, having about six each. Mrs. Fred Fenwick won the most coveted prize of all with her wonder ful little bulldog, Champion Mack worth Bertie. The Judge, Irving Ackerman. kept Miss Jean Forgeus' wolfhound on the boards and made him beat every dog until he met Mackworth Bertie. maWng Nicholas, the Russian wolfhound, second best dog ln the show. * * ♦ The judging, taken as a whole, was very satisfactory. Irving Ackerman, the all rounder, handled his breeds in a careful manner, and his placing of the special prizes met with the ap proval of the exhibitors and proved that he is a very capable Judge, and shows that experience is a great and very necessary thing to have in the Judging ring. * # # The other Judges were E. O. Corri gan, Robert Nolan, M. D. Robison and James Lawrence. Robert Nolan Judged Airedale terriers and went through his dogs thoroughly, looked for what he wanted, and "when he found it made his award fearlessly. Nolan made many friends and will be asked to Judge again. * » * M. D. Robison judged French bull dogs. This was Mr. .Robison's first appearance in the Judging ring, and he did well, Indeed. He gave the ex hibitors all the chance they wanted to make the best of their dogs and then placed them as they looked to him, something nearly all beginners fail to do. * # # E. O. Corrlgan looked after point ers and setters. Everything went well until the placing of Howdy Pap over Champion San Francisco Major. This was the most talked of decision in the show, First prize should have gone to Major, without a doubt. I can not see where Pap scores over Major ln any one place. Major Is a better size, scores heavily In type, character, eye, substance, coat, and is a better made dog right through, and when it comes to quality there is no comparison. Pap is a leggy dog, long in back, flat sided, lacks expression and was out of coat, making his faults more glaring. The visitors were: Mrs. T. B. I.amoreux. Mrs. Fred Fenwick, Mrs. K. F.

The score was nothing-nothing when the thirteenth round began, When suddenly for Bill the benns were spilled; Tbe Gumdrops got a couple of hits, and Meyers) hit a man. And with a walk tbe bases all were filled. The man who said each dark'ning cloud a silver lining has, I must confess, knew what be was about; For when Bill Meyers filled the sacks up in the thirteenth frame. The (iomdrop team already had two out. You remember bow, down in the states, Bill Meyers used to pitch} How his salivary bender used to dipt well, when Bill filled the bases for the Gumdrop baseball nine, I went to Bill and give him this here tipt "This batter has to hit," aays I. "You've got him ln a hole, Sa It's up to you to work and make him fan. It's best for you to whiff him now and leave the bases full. And If you use a spit ter. BUI, you can!" it I saw BUI spit upon the ball and saw him winding np. And saw the runners starting as he wound; Bill brought his arms around to pitch, no hall flew to the plate, And BUI went down a-fiopplng to the ground. The Gumdrop nine had won the game, the crowd had all gone home, And thick gloom was settling on the Igloo band. We found out what the trouble was, why Billy hadn't pitched— The spltball had a-frosen to his hand! ulated for their fairness and business I like methods adopted at this show, and this means a larger entry from | San Franciscans in the future. Guaranteed Rupture Holder On 60 Days Trial Won't Cost You A Cent If The Two Months Test Doesn't Prove All Our Claims Ton ran make a thorough prove-it-to-you test of this guaranteed rupture holder without having to risk a single cent.

If it doesn't keep your rupture from coming out or bothering JOB in any way— in spile of any work you do or any other strains—then it won't cost you a penny. The Only Thing Good Enough To Stand Such A Test Ton know as well as we that » mere try on —like a drug store —can't possibly prove whether a truss or anything else for rupture is going to do any good. Neither is Just a few days' trial a safe test. A trass or so-called "appliance" may seem all right the first week or so and then turn out to be no good whatever. But yon can't possibly make a mistake after sixty day*' trial. And there Is only one thing of any kind for rapture thHt you can get on such a long trial- Only one thing good enough to stand such a long and thorough teal That Is our guaranteed rupture holder—the famous Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss. Made On New Principle The Cluthe Truss is so radically different from everything else for rupture that it has received eighteen aeparate patents. Made or. an absolutely new principle—far more than just a truss. It has ko thoroughly proved its merits In nearly 300,000 eases that surgeons In the t\ s Army and Navy and physicians ln all parts of the world now recommend it instead of advU iug operation.

Just as a broken bone can't "knit" unless constantly held together. And that is the curse of wearing elastic or spring trusses—not one In twenty ever holds successfully—they sooner or later make opera tion absolutely necessary instead of preventing^ But remember, the Cluthe Trass ia guaran teed to hold—and it won't coat yon a cent,if it doesn't. And ln addition. It provides the enlv way ever discovered for overcoming the weak ness which Is tbe real cause of rupture. It does that entirely automatically—without any attention whatever from you.
