By SAM ORAN15. ' I
Fred Snodgrass, the Giants' center
fielder, will no. doubt bo on the regular
team that plays against the Athletics In
the coming world's series next month.
While neither McGraw's nor Mack's
club has an absolute cinch on the pen
nants of the National-' and American
leagues, respectively, still both the Giants
and Athletics tiavo such a commanding
lead over their closest rivals thot they
aro acknowledged contestants for the
coming battle for the gonfalcon em
blematic of the base ball supremacy of
tho unlverso.
Possibly no .player was moro unpopular
or reviled than was Snodgrass after the
last world's series. He had lost the
Giants tho championship by making one
of the most costly errors over known In
tho history of the national game. .The
muff ho made of an easy fly cost not
only himself and his fellow players more
than $1,100 each, or the difference be
tweon the winners' and losers' end, but
also caused the changing of hands of an
amount of money wagerod on the result
bf tho scries the country .over that .may
have been up In the million.
But while time has smoothed over the
heaps of abuse "showered on tho head of
tho unlucky player, Manager McGraw
even from the very time of the accident,
never lost faith In tho Calltornlan and In
the height df all the. roasting and knock
ing against- Snodgrass carrio; out publicly
On )ho vaudeVtlle et&go and said he did
not bla'mo him' In . tho, least, ad Jhat
he would bo a member of the. Giants
again this year.
McDratv has frequently annquhced that
Snodgrass is tho gamiest player on the
Giants' team and when it is takon into
consideration that on tho very next play
after he had made tho, historical muff
that Snodgrass made about as grand a
catch as tho entire series produced, Mo
Oraw'a opinion b probably correct
Anyhow Snodgrass will be given the
chance this fall to redeem himself, and
while ho has aa yet failed to make good
in any post-season series he has been a
Giant, still I think he will go to the front
this year and come to hla "own, as did
Red' Murray after his batting aiump
In ml.
Snodgrass has played a better fielding
game this season than ho ever did as an
outfielder. Ills judgment of Opposing bat
ters haa been superb and ho has covered
moro ground than any centertlelder, In
his league. Ho has been doing this day
after day, too, so It la no Hash in tne

and his running of bases" has shown much

Coach Harry Miller has whipped his

The pivotal work of the team will de

At center Kamanskl. Winters ana aiiies-

There are raveral men trying for full.

Coach Miller bellovea that Casey will
make a good backflold man, and will prob
ably play him at tho middle position in
the backtteld.
McCarthy Is the only veteran halfback
left He will bo used at left half, while
the othor half will fall to Dierkes, Pflas

or Coady.
Pitta looks to bo the best candidate for
right taokle. He is a freshman at the
medical college. At the other tackle It Is
toisup between Stapletbn, Bruckner
and MoDtfrmott the odds favoring the
first named because of his experience.
At the guards It la nn even break be

learned today, believes the Injuries re

The injured shoulder due to Doylu's auto

Mrs. Doyle asserted today that her hus

Sent the Sphere n Distance of
Qnnrter of a Mile Before
It Stopped.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-From all of thi
evidence submitted in tho case It, .has
about been decided that Joo Jackson, the
slugging outfielder of the Cleveland club,
will not, among other things this season,
be credited with making the longest hit
In tho history of the game. When the
Naps wero playing at the Polo grounds
Recently Jackson poled a hit to tho
top of tho right wing of the grand
stand, and it va claimed that it was
the longest hit ever made in the game
on record.
Tho hit might have got Into the books
as a record had It not been for a number
of old-tlmo fans and ball players with
keen recollections ot events that oc
curred back In the dark ages ot the
pastime. They pulled from the moth
eaten records the achievement of Dan
Brouthers back In 1894 to show that
Jackson was not even In the running for
tho long distance hitting championship.
Brouthers, who at the time he wrote
this record Into the books, was a mem
ber of tho famous Baltimore Orioles and
a teammate of John McGraw, Wllbert
Robinson, Hughey Jennings and several
other famous athletes of that time, hit a
ball 1,300 feet. That Is the ball traveled
that far before it stonnd mtiinr-
That is at least a city block further
than Jackson sent the ball ot the Polo
Grounds. S. C. Appleby, a Baltimore
sport writer who saw Brouthers make hla
nit, nas this to say about It and he
is substantiated by John McGraw,
Hughey Jennings and Brouthsra him.
