Moran Expected to Have National Champs in Great Shape—No Public Sales of Tickets,

PRES. WILSOX TO ATTEND 1 SECOND SERIES CONTEST

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—President Wilson plana to tco to Philadelphia Saturday to nee the second game of the world's championship baseball series. The president trill be accompanied by Secretary Tiimnlty, Dr. Cnrey T. Grayson and Miss Helen Woodroir Bones, his cousin.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Oct 4.—The Philadelphia Nationals began tuning up today for the world's aeries with the Boston Americans, which oipens here on Friday. Only three games with Brooklyn remain on the Phillies' schedule. These games will be played, tomorrow and Thursday and with Wednesday an open date the local fans figure Manager Moran should have his men In flrst-class shape for the series.

Speculation as to how the rival managers will use their pitchers In the coming series seems to be attracting most attention at present. It is generally believed that Moran will send Alexander to the box In the opening contest regardless of who Manager Carrigan elects. For the second game the fans predict that either Chalmers or Rixey will be Moran's selection and that Alexander will pitch the third gamo in Boston. Mayer and Dsmaree, however, are not lost sight of In the various' predictions and both are held as likely candidate for only one of the contests. Notwithstanding that, on form, the Bostonians are consid-

f•hlllies,

red to have the advantage of the followers of the game draw attention to last year's series Ibetween the Braves and Athletics. The Athletics completely outclassed their rivals, but when it came to actual play figures counted for naught and the Braves took the series in four straight.

Officials announced that there would be no public sales of tickets.

Johnny McCarty and Pick

Save Day for All-Stars

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 4.—Metz's AllStars battled the A. B. C.'s twelve innings at Federal park yesterday, 3 to 8, when darkness necessitated a halt. The contest was a thriller and probably with more team work the leaguers would have scored a victory over the colored champs. As it was the three thousand or more fans present saw a fiplcy game. Swell stops and neat catches were frequent, while Johnny McCarty's wonderful throw to the plate in the ninth inning fairly set the white fans wild.

Clark, the speedy A. B. C., was first up In the ninth and went all the way to third when Charley Pick heaved over Met's head. Powell lifted a fly to left center a"hd, after the catch, Clark dashed for the plate, with what he thought was the winning run. Mc-.-ffartjLshot the ball on the dead line toward^ home, and one neat hop put the pellet into Catcher Vann's glove ahead of the runner. Pick's double scored all three runs for the All-Stars.

Owing to the fact that Kllllfer Is not In the best of condition, Eddie ©urns, a mere youngster, may do some of the catching for the Phils in the world series. Burns has been doing splendidly as Killifer's substitute and the players have a lot of confidence in him, but, of course, he is not in Killifer class.

"BIG LINE" HORSES AT LEXINGTON THIS WEEK

$85,000 in Purses Offered at Blue Grass Meet—William to Go Against Record.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 4.—The grand circuit trotting meeting which opens here today, judging from the number of nationally famous stars that are entered, should result in many new records being hung up during the ten days of racing.

C. K. G. Billings will drive William, the pacing king, to wagon in the effort to. break his own record of 1:59%, as an added attraction for the inaugural program.

The $14,000 Kentucky futurity, trotting division, will be the feature of the second day, and the twenty-third renewal of this classic has attracted. Mary Putney, 2:08^4 Deroche, 2:07, and Bon-

SAYS PHILLIE LEADER

Pat Moran Is Most Modest Chap— Here's His Baseball Career.

Every season has Its miracle man, Jones, Chance, Jennings and Clarke. Mack and McGraw, Stahl, Carrigan and Stallings—each a different type of diamond strategist—has worn the title by right of conquest. Each has proved himself to be a worker of miracles while marshaling his forces in championship campaigns. It's an old Btory to a few of. these grizzled pilots, but a new and mighty novel one for Patrick J. Moran, the miracle man or 1916.

Starting his steam roller Phillies on a nerve-racking spurt July 13, when the Cubs were pried from first place, Moran, never using his whip, successfully piloted them down the line. But, still, Pat disclaims the title. "If you're a friend of mine, d®n call me the jnlracle man," said Patrick J., in his best vein of tchburg Irish, as the Phils were taking the field the other day.

Modesty always was a virtue wltn Patrick and his unassuming ways, when a member of the Cubs old guard, won him friends in legion. He Is sincere in asking that the title orlginallv hung on Stallings be relegated to the cannery. However, he Is a miracle man, for all that, as a slant at the records will prove.

The Wrights, Irwins, Shettslines, Stallings, Zimmers, Duffys,_ the Murrays and the Dooins acting in managerial capacities for Philadelphia National league teams since 1883 never delivered as did this smiling, redfaced Irishman, who only a few years ago was second string

catc*if*l.

PJ}

Chance's epoch-making Cubs, jw right, Shettsline and Dooin spurred the F*"1® of various years in second place, put it remained for Moran to assemble the first place, A-No. 1 champs, hitherto unknown at Broad and Huntingdon streets, in the Quaker metropolis.

How Pat Got His Start.

How Alexander the great, "Cactus' Cravath, "Demon" Dave Bancroft ana all the other topliners fighting under Patrick's standard helped repulse an comers and eventually stormed tne heights to the league championship, is plain history to the fan army, kittle has been told, however, of the career of the 1915 miracle man.

Like Jimmy Callahan, former manager of the White Sox, Moran was a native o& Fitchburg, Mass. Callahan parents wanted him to hire out as a plumber's apprentice. Moran dad got him a "lucrative" Job as a textile worker. Pat finally went to work for the Beoli mill, of Fitchburg, but the confinement of manual labor did not kill his love for the national pastime. Every spare moment found the reafaeed Irish boy with a baseball in his hands.

One of the oldest inhabitants of Fitchburg delights in spinning a tale, which features Pat as the maker of yarn baseballs, which were wrapped with twine, in order that Pat could practice. Then he developed, and after burning up the town lots of New England, accepted a berth with Newport, R. I., as catcher for Patsy Foley. In 1895 he signed out with the Central Parks, of Orange, Mass. He caught seventv-six games for the Lyons club, of the'New York State league, in 1897, and ninety-three games in 1898.

The following year Pat went iO Montreal, of the Eastern league, and his experience there ripened him to such a degree that the Boston Nationals purchased him in 1900. After five years with the Bostonese Pat was transferred to the Cubs, where he remained until 1910, when he was released to Philadelphia as second-string catcher, acting as relief for "Red" Dooin, then manager.

In addition to his ability as A baseball player, Pat also Is rated some pumpkins as a basketball and handball performer. Time was when he was also a whale of a soccer football player. Chicago Is his winter abiding place it was there he married and, next to Philadelphia and Fitchburg, he knows of no spot he would rather call home than the windy oity. "v

And Still They Fall for It. EVANSVTLLLE, Ind., Oct. 4—Joe Stecher, of Dodge, Neb., and Ed (Strangler) Lewis, of Kentucky, were today matched to wrestle for the heavyweight championship of the world at Evansville on October 20. Stecher has never been defeated and he acquired a championship claim by defeating Charles Cutler at Omaha, July 4.

BOSTON RED SOX HIE TOR GOOD WALLOPING

Comparison of Records Show American Leaguers Have No Real "Edge."

No Boston club ever has lost a world's series comtnt—'but this Is the year when tradition seems due for a walloping. The Phillies, in the opinion of a well known eastern writer, will triumph over the Red Sox in the classic basefoall battle that Is son to be fought.

This statement Is made not merely because the Phillies have in Grover Alexander the greatest pitcher Ita the game today, tout because a comparison of the records of the .men who are. likely to mingle in the series shows that the Sox haven't any real "edge" on the Phillies.

And the Phillies, it must be remembered, rank as one of the greatest slugging outfits of this or any other age an aggregation of fence busters who are likely at any moment to break up a ball game with a terrific smash to some unguarded portion of the baseball lot.

The Phillies, too, now size uj as one of the gamest, pluckiest baseball teams ever brought together a team that time and again has seen defeat staring it In the face—and still gone on ahead a team that has had to fight from the start until practically the end of the season a team that has been put to every test—and never found wanting.

Some there are Iwho think of the Phillies only as truck horses of the Red Sox only as speed marvels on the bases. But look at the averages and you will find that the "truck horses" have stolen 130 (bases against 131 for the so-called speedboys. And the Phillies have done this despite the handicap of Cravath and a few other heavyweights.

Comparison of Player*.

Match the rival playeijB, man for man, and you'll find this: At first base the Phillies have a big bulge. Luderus, the leading clubber of the National league, is ibatting nearly 40 points beyona Hoblitzel, the Red Sox entry. Luderus Is fielding around .995 against .985 for Hoblitzel.

Barry at second base for the Red ©ox, is a far better fielder than Niehoff 0 the full season run, yet Niehoff In a short scries may outshine his rival. Niehoff is batting .245 and the last statistics covering Barry show .246.

At short the Phillies have the "edge." Bancroft Is a more wonderful flelfler than Scott, considered a brainier player. is faster afoot and is t-attinjr 28 points beyond the American league entry.

The Sox have the bulge at third base. Byrne is a good fielder, but a weak batter whereas, Gardner, of the Red Sox, ^Is a wonder In the fielding department and a consistent hither. He is batting around. 266—just about 50 ahead of Byrne.

The Outfleld.

And now as to the outfield: Hooper is a grand fielder, a fine thrower, but he's weak with the stick. Whitted, of the Phillies, in our opinion ranks as his superior—and the world's series probably will Justify our belief. The up to date records show that Whitted is batting .286 against .241 for Hooper and Welding for the wonderful average of .990 against .978 for Hooper.

Cravath is a more valuable man than Lewis. His tremendous slugging ability has -made him the most feared batsman in baseball. Just now he is hitting around .287 against .265 for Lewis, but despite his clumsiness he is outflelding ILeiwis by 10 jpoints.

But in Speaker the Red Sox have an outfielder who is better by fair than any of the Phillies' entries. It is the wonderful batting power of Speaker that gives to the Red Sox the advantage in the combined hitting power of the outfleld. But this one thlwg must be borne in mind 'Speaker won't be allowed to go to bat oftener than Lewis.

In the oatchlng department It seems protahly will be the first string to be just afrout an even break. Cady. catcher for the Red Sox, and Killifer, if his arm is right, will be the regular for the Phillies.

Carrigan will do the relief work for the Bostonians and Burns will be emergency backstop for the Phillies.

Killifer, in the opinion of many, is a bet+er catcher than Cady, but Cady is outhitting him tT 25 or 80 points. Burns is outhitting Carrigan 40 points, but Carrigan Is the better fielder.

And now which will you have, Philadelphia scrapple or Boston baked beans?

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Spurred by the deafening cheers of one of the greatest baseball crowds this city has ever seen, Joe Tinker and his fighting Whales brought the Federal league pennant to- Chicago fry beating Pittsburgh yesterday in the second game of the double header on which the flag depended. One nerve racking rally in the sixth brought a 3 to 0 victorv. Only a few seconds later darkness ended the spectacular battle after Pittsburgh had ito seventh inning. All that happened after the Rebels had scored a 5 to 4 triumph in eleven rounds, so the third league flag was not decided until the last Inning of play in its championship schedule.

Even the wildest dream of the most rabid of fans could not picture a race closer than was this marathon in the independent league. St. Louis won Its final game from Kansas City, and the official standing of the clubs will read as follows-

Won. Lost. Pet,

Chicago 86 66 .565789 St. LOuis 87 67 .564935 Pittsburgh ...... 86 67 .562092

In games won and lost Chicago and flt. Louis are even. That is how the situation would be explained ordinarily, but the two games the Whales lost by rain give them a shade of .000854, lejss tihan on« one-thousandth of a point. But that margin is enough. It means a pennant for Chicago.

Surpassing even the wonderful. climax was the crowd that turned out to see the finish of the race. They filled Weeghman park till it looked ridiculously small, and when the official attendance was given out as 34,210 there were few who questioned the count. Score:

First gane: it 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 I 5 1 1 2 Chicago 0010002100 0—4 12 1
