THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1913 Eddie Collins, Wielder of Big Stick Yesterday The Latest Sport News of the Day PHILADELPHIA SURE TEAM WILL REPEAT Merklc's Injury to Ankle Casts Gloom Over the Giant Players. GLOOM HANGS OVER EARLHAMPLAYERS Coach Dissatisfied With the Lack of Fighting Spirit. GREISEL CONSENTS TO UMPIRE GAME iVell Known Central League Official Will Be Here Sunday. PAGE SIX DEPEND ON LUCK Schang's Triple Yesterday Considered Slightly on the Fluke Order. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. In this town today the fans feel sure that the home team will win the baseball cham pionship. Most of them think the se ries will go Bix games, others fve, while the most enthusiastic are pre dicting four straight. The 6-to-4 victory of the Athletics yesterday, aided and abetted by the clouting of Home Run" Baker, who included a little four-base swat in his batting skit, -was the factor that made the Athletics' supporters so certain of ultimate victory in the series. Giants in Gloom. The gloom in the Giants' camp was deepened by the condition of Mer kle's ankle, which was sprained in the sixth inning of yesterday's game. The plucky first baseman insisted that he would be able to get back into the game this afternoon with his ankle in a brace, but the team's doctor declar ed that the warrior would be taking a long chance. The injury to Merkle is an especial ly bard blow, because Snodgrass, the only other man on the team capable of holding down first base during such a crisis, is laid up with a "charley horse." Merkle begged McQraw to allow him to go into the game on his nerve, but McGraw had seen many such exhi bitions of nerve in the past and he new that more harm than good prob ably would result. lasue Undecided. Looking back over the fray yester day the non-partisan fan is not quite able to figure out why the Athletics' supporters are so extremely confident, or the two thousand Giant fans who followed the team here, so pessimis tic. True, the Athletics won, and it Is also true that the Quaker City ath letes chased two giant twirlers from the" mound. But the Athletics did not outplay the Giants by any wide mar gin in any department of the game. The much talked of "breaks" were annexed solely by the Athletics. The law of average must figure in a world's series combat as well as anything else and the Giants are due for their share of "breaks." Schang's triple yesterday was slight ly on the fluke order, and for a time the scorers were noplussed as to how to record the play. The drive was a terrific one. Shafer, the Giant's ccn terftelder, ran back for it, paused just a second too soon, saw the liner was going past him, and jumped into the air. The ball plumped against his gloved hand and then skidded away. Had Shafer been one incn farther out he would have speared the drive that resulted in two Athletic runs. Home Run Feature. Baker's home run was one of the deciding factors of the game. But, mighty slugger that he is. Baker can't (hammer out circuit wallops every day. The unkind way In which the Ath letics treated Marquard. the Giants star southpaw, disheartened the Gi ants as well as their supporters. But the Rube stacks up as one of the greatest pitchers in the game. All of the have their off, days, and it looked as if yesterday was Rube's. Tesreau's fine work in the two in nings that he worked as a relief pitch er, has given the "I-told-you-so" faction a fine chance to clutter up the atmos phere with their expressions. One and all they'll tell you today that If Mc Graw had sent Tesreau against the Athletics yesterday, the New Yorkers would have won. URGES ATHLETICS IN BIBLEJCHOOLS R. W. Lookabill, at Baptist Meeting, Says Boys Are Attracted. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Oct. 8. "Ath letics In the Sunday School serve two purposes," said R. W. Lookabill at the Marion County association of Baptist Sunday Schools yesterday. "They ad vertise the schools and attract boys Into the chxirch, who would be inter ested by no other means." That the mother should be a com panion of her children and try to meet them on their own level, was the statement of Mrs. Fred Hoke. This Is necessary she said since the church, an institution is too far re moved from the social side of the ado lescent child's life. NON-RESIDENT NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the case of George A- Lamb vs. J. Shuler and Penn. R. R. Co., will come up for hear ing November 28, in the Justice of the Peace court and unless sa id party ap pear and answer thereto, the case will be determined in their absence. Oct 8-15-22 H. C. Chessman. PRESIDENT KEEPS TAB ON EACH GAME WASHINGTON, Oct. S. Surrounded by official papers with a telegraph In strument rattling merrily in the next room, President Wilson yesterday kept close " on the. first game of the big seri " the result- of the game were "t to him Inning, the presia ; allowed all matters of an official nature to lay in abeyance while he read of what the Athletics did to Marquard; how Baker came back, and other things of interest ia connection with ta opening mam. The Earlham football team was giv en Its second scrimmage practice yes terday afternoon, and although the men are showing good fighting spirit Coach Reagan said they are too slow to get on to the signals. He said there would have to be a great im provement in the smoothness of the team work before Saturday. Coach Reagan was very much en couraged at first by the fighting spirit of the players and at the number whe first came out to try for the varsitj squad, but since the real scrimmage has begun he feels that the mei; ought to begin to develop some rea winning team work. Three of the best Freshmen candi dates are out of the running, two on account of parental objection and on( on account of a sprained ankle. Woodgate of Greenwood, and Henly ol Kansas have both received notices from their parents stating strict ob jections to their entering the game. Thornton, one of the bright prospects for a strong backfield, got his ankle badly sprained and will be out for the first game if no longer. MANY ODD BETS POSTED IN CITY Betting in Richmond today indi cated that Philadelphia was the favorite here for today's game. Not as many bets were placed to day as yesterday. Up to ten o'clock New York mo-, ney was circulating though Ath letic backers could not be found. Before noon the odds seemed to favor the Athletics though all bets were made merely as a gamble. A bet of $50 or any part of it was posted at one of the hotels that the total number of runs made by both teams would be an odd num ber. A Richmond man backing New York to win yesterday, lost over $700.. A bet of $50 to $40 was of fered by him when Philadelphia was one run to the good. In several cigar stores bets were posted on both teams as to which would score the first run. THEIR VIEWS TODAY "I have made a long and careful study of the Giants and my dope is true to the letter. We have too much speed on the bases and in the field for the National league, and with good stick work and the luck with us, I can see nothing but victory. The ser ies will be close and hard fought, but I look for four victories in five games. Elank, Shawkey, Bush and Brown are all set for the remaining games. Conie Mack." "It will be the pitching of my men that will win for the Giants, this de spite Marquard's showing in the open er. ..lack has assembled a great team, they are great hitters and fast fielders and will give us a stiff fight, but we'll win. Victory today will turn the tide and we will take the lead. McGraw." RACES TO FEATURE L STOCK SALE Reidston Farm to Place 20 Young Horses on Block October 21.

ANNUA BAUMAN WITH STARS Tiger Second Baseman to Visit Here and Bush Sends Assurance. Word has been received that Harry ireisel, the well known Central lea gue umpire, will be on hands Sunday o officiate in the game between the tichmond team and the All Profession als. Patsy Bauman, the star second jaseman of the Detroit Tigers, who .vlll be seen in the visitors' lineup, a-ill arrive in Richmond the latter part )f the week to be the guest of George hosier. The All Professionals who defeated Kokomo last Sunday by a score of 4 o 2 will play a return game there one week from Sunday. In the game ast Sunday Willis, the St. Louis Na tional pitcher, struck out 14 batters. Interest of Richmond fans In next Sunday's game will be centered in the performance of Owen Bush the De troit short stop who was a local fa vorite long before he broke into ma jor league baseball. Bush, in a letter to a friend here, says he will be in Richmond "with bells." FIRST GAME NOTES Over 300 newspaper men from all parts of the country are in Philadel phia to report the series for their res pective newspapers. While the inter city series in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis kept many away it is believed that the attendance in this respect, at least, will prove a record. Some unique requests have come in from those desiring world's series tick ets to those who might have them. An out of town acquaintance sent word to Larry Doyle as follows: "Please get me a pass to each of the three games in New York and have it for a seat behind the New York players' bench." Total paid attendance at the game was 36,291; total receipts, $75,255. Of this sum the National Commission re ceives $7,525, the clubs $13,546 each, and the players $40,638. The hue and cry about ticket scalp ing was almost entirely a fake. The only tickets in the hands of the scalp ers came from politicians who had made a cowardly use of their pull to secure a few reserved seats at regula tion prices, and then unloaded them on the ticket agencies at an advance. The Giants looked better yesterday than they ever did in a world's series game since 1905. The kind of ball they played would have wiped up the ground with the Bostons last fall. They fielded faster and hit cleaner than they did against Boston, and seemed steadier and more confident. A score of "three-card monte" men did a thriving business among the crowd in front of the gates until the police broke up the game. The Athletics were jubilant over finding Marquard so easily, and now think they can rush through the series perhaps in straight games. No series has even been won in four straight games, though the Cubs came pretty near doing it when they took four straight from the Detroit Tigers in 1907, after tying the first game. Only once in eight seasons has the winner of the first game failed to come through to gain the final decision. Taking it all in all, it was a game in which the final score clearly indicated the difference between the teams. The Athletics had just a shade in all de partments. Their hitting was longer and harder, their fielding the least bit faster and fancier, their base runinng a bit superior. Bender had good control, not giving a base on balls, but the old stuff did not seem to be there. He was saved by the hard hitting of his men and their exceedingly fast fielding behind him, rather than by his own personal prowess. Larry Doyle was not bothered by his lame shoulder, and played a better game than he did in any contest with Boston last year. His hitting was ef fective and he said his shoulder was not very painful, and he expects to play in every game. Center field seems to be a hoodoo spot for the Giants. Snodgrass muffed a fly out there last year and lost a se ries. Yesterday Shafef's mistake on Shang's blow in the fourth cost two runs and the game. "No wonder Marquard can't pitch. He is trying to think what he will say in his story of the game," remarked a keen observer when the athletes were hitting the Rube in the fourth inning. CITY STATISTICS Marriage Licenses. Howard D.

One noticeable feature at the open ing of the night school in the Rich mond high school building last even ing was the increased number of for eigners who took advantage of the school. The enrollment for the open ing night was 550 as announced by Principal Pickell, at the assembly in the auditorium. "While the enrollment this year is not quite as large as the former year, I am assured that the students mean to stick to their work," said Principal Pickell. "Last year," continued the supervisor, "we had a larger opening . enrollment, but when the novelty wore off the classes decreased, but I feel that the pupils this year will remain during the entire term of twenty weeks." The various classes were formed at the session and the instructors made the assignments for Friday's session. The business and industrial classes are much larger than the previous year's classes and are nearing the limit. Every class has an exceeding ly large enrollment, as many of the former year's students are taking ad ditional subjects this year. Bench Work Popular. "The forging, bench work and me chanical drawing classes are especial ly large this year," said Principal Pickell. The entire foreign enrollment is taking instruction in the English di vision. As the night school is no long er a mere venture, the students are choosing courses which in the end will lead to thorough instruction in that particular line. In a brief speech before the assem bled students, Principal Pickell urged them to choose their classes with the idea in mind of sticking to the work for a number of years. Mr. Helman, of the commercial de partment, told his students that the night school was a unit of oppor tunity. Many of his students work in the daytime and attend school at night to receive added instruction in their owrk and aid in their advance ment. The recent tour of the factory dis tricts conducted by Principal Pickell and corps of assistants, was a suc cess, for a large part of the students are shop people. An effort has been made this year to bring together as many of the factory boys and girls as possible, and from the results one might predict that the scope of the night school is being realized.
