The Cubs will come right back nt

ten Thau Two Opposing
Slabuien Do.
PHIX.A1JEI.FH1A, PA., October 18.
i .— Because of the amount of stult that
! has been written about the difference
i between the method* of batsmen 1“
the two leagues, and the probability
that Chance s mert. It they gut against
pitching haid to hit. would simply
re*ort to waiting It out, thus tiring the
twirler, figure* on the amount ot
hurling the boxmen did yesterday are
! of much Interest. In the aggregate
! they show that Mender though he was
not being hit, was forced to pitch a
i little less than one ball pet inning
1 more than his opponents
Because ol tne difference in the
rorm of tin pitchers opposed this
docs not prove a great deul. Besides
this the Indian was just a bit wild to
j day. He was not walking men, but
i was sufficiently unsteady to tie good.
’ but also to get himself into hole* with
! batsmen, it being nothing unusual for
him to have three balls on the hitter
j before he disposed of his man.
i Overall had good control, his ability
1 to pitch the ball where the batter
I could hit it being the chit f charac
1 teristlc <u' his work. McIntyre kept

In nine tunings Mender pitched 122
balls, overall and McIntyre had J02
pitches In eight innings. The last
inning, in which they were not waiting
for Mender, but were trying to hit him,
was his biggest one. And in that inning
he pitched more halls to a man whom
In- struck out than to any other bat
ter.
\l!delies’ Hitters More Kager.
Much more eagerness was shown by
the American l-eaguers than their
rivals. Seven Athletics hit the tirst
hall pitched to them for a base hit or
an out, and eight others allowed the
Chicago eurvers to hand them only
two. Hitting early was pretty fair
system at that, as Maker and Murphy
i In the second am? Ford in the third,
three of the seven men who drove out
the first ball, hit safely on It, while
Maker's long drive In the eighth was
t>n the second pitched.
Outside of the ninth, when the Cubs
were hitting at anything good, tile
first hall decided the futo of only two
i men, and a majority of the hatters
had four or more halls pitched to
them The quickest bit of work was
in Philadelphia's eighth, when Strunk
and Ford each lilt the tirst ball and
(Was out, while Oallins bunted foul the
first one. Hut he then waited, and
walked, and it became a long Inning
( before tho side was retired.
Mender could afford to pitch a great
many more balls. He had plenty of
‘ speed and a good curve, had a lot of
stuff on his fast-hall, and frequently
j mixed In a slow one that bothered the
batsmen. He apparently profited by
j his earlier views of the Cubs, whom
i hi- watched in several games. He had
i their weaknesses, and was especially
I strong against the alleged fence
! breaker, Zimmerman. Mender ran tho
whole game, placing the outfielders
himself whenever he caught them
playing out of position for a batter
they did not know.

KETCHEl’S TITLE
IOWIIOISPOTE
Doitili of Fighter leaves Many
Claimants to Middle
weight Honors.
CHICAGO, Oct. IS.—The deRth of
Stanley Ketchel, the pugilist. at
Springfield, Mo., Saturday has pre
cipitated the middleweight cham
pionship situation into more or less
of a muddle. Four elalmants to the
title stand out prominently, anil ot
these three have faced the former
champion in the ring. This last ts
Kddie MeOoorty, of Oshkosh, WIs. The
others are former Champion BiJIy
Papke, of Keivanee, 111., now In Aus
tralia; Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg, and
Hugo Kelly, of Chicago.
Papke can claim distinction by the
fait that he was one of the very few
that over beat Ketchel. Papke knock
ed him out In the twelfth round ol
a bout In Los Angeles two years ago.
This is the one decishe beating the
past champion suffered In hi* career,
although he was downed for the count
in hls battle with Jack Johnson at
C'olma. Cal., a year ago. On“ of these
claimants for the championship will
probably be eliminated when Klaus
and McGoorty meet in their bout at
Milwaukee, which was scheduled for
last Friday night, but postponed on
account of McGoorty's condition.

RECORD CROWD FAILS !|
TO ATTEND FIRST GAME
! Paid Attendance at Philadelphia fur .Monday's Game was 20,^01.
Quaker Fans Are Slow to Show Knthttsiasm and
Hooting Was >iot Out of the Ordinary.
; PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 3 8- --Predic
tion» that Philadelphia would set s
new mark for world series attendances
j wore not fulfilled yesterday. The
chances are strong that the 1909 figures
will stand. The demand for second
day tickets has at no time been as
great as those for the opener. Possi
bly the victory may hull the market,
j hut there were no scats unoccupied
yosterda)'. and It is doubtful if a sufH
! dent number of persons could be Jam
| med Into the unoccupied standing room
i to make up the difference between the
| attendance and that on the second day
i ut Pittsburg last fall.
I There were tti.SiU paid admissions,
| and of this number 8,858 occupied re
! served seats, while the other IS,0.33
j were scattered about ihe scene lit the
! tlrst come first served seats or on the
! sward. The money taken in was as
' follows:
| Total receipts .$37,424.50
j To the commission . 3,742.45
i To the players . 20.209.23
I To each club . 0.736.41
1 When the players1 end is cut up it
■ will he found that $12,125.54 will go to
1 the ultimate winner and $8,083.69 to
the loser. As this means something
like $500 out of the receipts to each
member of the world's champion team,
It is apparent that this wasn't a bad
afternoon's work for the bail players.
Record 8*t In 19C9.
The record both for attendance and
for money taken In was set by Pitts
burg and Detroit, In the Smoky City,
last fall. On the second day of that
series there were 30,915 paid admis
sions, and the receipts were $41,884.50,
a little better thun 4.000 more specta
tors than yesterday and a little less
than $3,000 more money. In the same
city, and one the day preceding, the
two teams named had played to more
than 29,000 paid admissions, so' there
: are two better attendance and money
• marks than yesterday afternoon s. Tin
j figures, however, have never been
I beaten In any series other than the
; Pittsburg-Detroit clash.
| Receipts were held up yesterday be
! cause of the advanced scale over last
year that is in effect here. This was
| a- source of some soreness to Phlladel
j phl&ns, who failed to appreciate a
| grand opera scale: but all of the seats
i for which boosted prices were asked
| were taken, and more could have been
i sold. Speculators, however, were beg
| glng people to take their wares at
noon to-day, showing that the home
grown fan stood by his principles to
a certain extent. A11 of the seats were
disposed of by their holders before
the contest opened.
There are plenty of seats for the
second game to be had of the specu
lators.
Crowd Smaller Than Anticipated.
This is not a town that rises to Us
world's series opportunities. Its crowd
was smaller than anticipated, and
there was not the enthusiasm that a
I city of this slse opening a world's
series should evidence. Downtown
the only indication^ that anything was
on was lii the steady stream of auto
mobile* and other equipages headed i
. .. . .i, , , \
parkwnrd earlv in the afternoon anil j
in the other direction later.
Nothin* in tjio way of decorative '
effects could he seen, and even the
fans were shy. Out In Chicago every
woman fan who gues to the game j
will have a cub hear of some sort
dangling from her girdle and will car- j
ry a flag. Most of the men will wear
arm bands. At the park thera will be
a lew bands, and maybe some atnging j
cluba of fans. Mere there is a lack
of color and no rooting out of the or- j
dinary. The West makes a world's
series a college football aort of affair.
Here they go in for the steady and
•edate aort of thing.
