New York, Sept. 13. Manager Mo
Graw of the Giants is grooming his
pitching staff in preparation for the
world's series. He believes he has a
bunch of boxmen who can put it over
the classiest of Ccnuie Mack's tv.irl
crs, and the critics generally seem to
agree with him.
Matheweoa, Marquard, , Demaree
and Tesreau, the quartet of Giant
hur:ers likely to be called into action
have, when permitted to go the route,
limited their adversaries to 2.06 runs
per contest and to 7.3S hits per game,
the figures for the Mackmen being
1.73 in tallies and 6.12 in. bingles.
Judged from their 1913 performances,
the Athletics' pitchers are likelv to
strike out more men than t,he Giant
Manager McGraw and his pitching staff,
lso are likely to is-
arti'.lerists and
sue more passes.
Tesreau seems to be the only gen
erous individual on the Giants' hurl
ing staff. In 14 complete games he
has franked SI men. Mathewson has
issued only 10 complimentaries in 22
complete contests. Marquard in 17
full games has passed 17 men, and
Demaree in 10 games has .handed out
15 passes.
Demaree is expected to wn as many
games in the coming series as either
Mathewson or Marquard and more
than Tesreau. lie has pitched steadier
ball th.s season than anyone, else on
the Giants' hurling staff, aiid the team
seems to hit better when he is work
iug than when anyone else is on the
mound.

MAPLE LEAF TAKES
WORLD HYDRO TITLE
London, Sept. 13. The British motor
boat Maple Leaf IV., owned by K.
J'.ackay Edgar and representing the
Foyal Motor Yacht club, won the
British international motor boat tro
phy, popularly known as the Harms-
worth cup, in a series of races con
cluded yesterday over a course In Os
borne bay, Isle of Wight. The finish
was as follows for the course of 32.4
nautical miles:
Maple Leaf IV.. 40:10 2-5; Ankle
Deep, 43:25: Crusader, 46:30 2-5.
The American boat Disturber, own
ed by Commodore James H. Pugh of
Chicago, and the Despujon I.,
French, crossed the starting line too
early and thus lost a lap each. The
first race of the series was won by the
Desnuions II. on Wednesday. Her
time was 41:34.
The Maple Leaf IV., by winning two
of tha three races in the series, retains
for Great Britain the trophy which she
won on Huntington Bay, Long Island,
last year. Ankle Deep, an American
representative, owned by Count Casl
mir Mankowski of Lake George, was
the second boat to cross the finishing
line today. H. Hollingsworth's crusad
er, a British entry, was third.
William Hale Thompson of Chicago
congratulating E. Mackay Edgar on the
Maple Leaf's victory today said that
America would challenge for the
Harmsworth . trophy next year when
he hoped the United States would be
represented by speedier boat3.' '

RICKEY TO MAKE BROWNS
A UNIQUE BASEBALL CLUB
St. Louis, Mo.. Sept. 13. The St.
Louis Browns, with Branch Rickey at
the managerial helm, probably will be
the most unique baseball team In eith
er of the- major leagues.
Branch Rickey as a leading Y. M. C.
A. worker and Sunday school teacher
has some fixed Ideas regarding the
running of a baseball team that un
doubtedly mill conflict with the Ideas
of the men making up the Browns;
la other words, the team will be run
on Sunday school principles.
Rickey objects to Sunday baseball
and la his major league career never
took part In a Sunday contest. He
believes in his players keeping early
hours and reporting for work early In
the morning. No more Joy parties for
the Browns.

is bound to be trouble. Hayes would
be accused of favoring the northern
clubs and Boyle of handing things to
the southern bunch, while if the presi
dent's own club should be mixed up
in some protest the other clubs would
claim that they got the short end.
Three-I league writers claimed that as

I and because he had all the umpires
scared stiff, while all complaints

Boyle fought as if a fortune depended
on having that game thrown out and
that on grounds not considered in
baseball. If Boyle w ere president and

club would have to g-t all the close

Philadelphia, Sept. 13. Callahan's
lack of confidence in Joe Benz beat
the White Sox in the final of the year
here yesterday when a win looked like
the easiest thing iu the world. After
twirling nearshutout ball for six chap
ters, Benz suddenly wavered in the
seventh with the sox four runs to the
good when he filled the bases. Rus
feell was called in but he couldn't
rescue, and before the 8ide was re
tired six men had clattered over the
pan. This made the score 7 to 5 and
no runs went over after the ill-fated
session.
If ever the Sox should have won a
game they should have taken this one.
They drove Plank to cover in the first
Inning, made Pennock quit in the third
and gave Houck a fine drubbing in
the seventh. On these twirlers they
assumed a bulge of five runs, while
Mie Athletics could do nothing better
than score once on Benz in the second
Inning and this because of an error
by Lord. Had Benz been allowed to
remain, as he should have been, he
might have come through with flying
coiurs, but Cal was afraid to trust
419 the Butcher Boy with even a four run
413 ! advantage.
The Rock Island Independents will
play their fiist game of the 1913 sea

The squad Is rapidy rounding Into con

HARD GAMES AIIELAI).
Among the teams to be played ara
Spring Valley, Teorla Socials, Musca
tine, Joliet, Rockford Badgers and St.
Ambrose college. The Moline Olym-
pics will probably have one of the
strongest teams In the state this year
and a game will be scheduled with
them, probably some time in Novem
ber. The Illini club of Moline and
the Davenport Independents are also
anxious to try conclusions with the
local squad. The strong Columbus
Junction team, which held the Inde
pendents to a 12-0 score last year, has
wr.tten for a game, and it is likely
that the Junction men will be accom
mo.':ted. The members of the local team are
elated that the city has purchased
Island City park, and hope to secure
the field for their contests thts fall,
as was the case last year. ,
Old Umpire Insane.
Oakland. Cal.. Sept. 13. "Bull" Per-

THREE-I LEAGUE IS SURE
TO BE REORGANIZED NOW
That the Three-Eye league will have
a re-organized circuit as well as a new'
president in 1914 is deemed certain,'
according to the opinions that have
been expressed in the various cities
of the circuit. All over the sentiment '
is strong against A. R. Tearney. It '
is authoritatively stated that if the '.
election of president was held at this -time,
Tearney would receive but one'
vote and, possibly, two. Rowland, of
Dubuque, is said to be for him, aud
Quincy might cast its ballot for him.
Whether or not sentiment will change
between now and the time of the Octo-.
ber meeting remains to be seen.
J. T. Hayes, of Davenport, and Jim
my Boyle, the Battling Barrister of
Danville, are mentioned as Tearney's
successor.
Tearney's term expires this fall.
