In a three-garae series at the Central academy. The final ocore was, Centrals. 2,775: Danville, 2,F69.
The lineup of the Centrals wm changed because of the absence of li.d 4 Hazeldine an1 Ed Raker, but the knights who ahot in place of the missJi..f ing stars more than held their own, indeed. i.rry. Hassinger, who subbed for i Hazeldine, topped the local bunch with
A a 597 total. Hi." counts were 202. 201
and 194. Lotls, who took Bakers place, rolled 527. Fred Randel was second high of the Terre Haute outtit. getting :«8. Oscar Jenson was two pins beHind the rotund one. get tins E66. Brother John trailed with 517.
Fred Frame, Danville "anchor." was in old-time form and finished with a •03 total. The "Sucker" opened with a 238 count, the best of the match, and followed with 202. A split or two in the last encounter held him to a 163 •core, big euough, however, to lard hnn ••in the "Charmed circle." "Beef Trust"
Oaughran weakened in the sec-ond conrest, but his other scores of 202 and 213 netted him a total of r64. which won him second honors. Asnley shot a 201, the only othor double century reglstered by th«i visitors.
The scores, considering the early *ea~ »on tinge, are remarkable, and hint at a campaign replete with record-break-mg counts. A return series is to be ataged at Danville witnin a week or two. Senear

JOHN TENER GAME WILL RETURN
Believes Public Will Demand Diversion and That Baseball Wil} Sole Choice.
OINCINNATt Sept. 54.—"Baseball will be played next season," John K. Tener writes in a letter to a Cincinnati friend, "and the added daylight hour will be the salvation ol' the game."
The former president of the National league write? in an optimistic mood. He thinks that the public will demand outdoor diversion, and that baseball will be the one great pastime as it has always been. "Iyeasne conditions, of course," says ex-'iovemor Tener, "must be changed to conform with present circumstances. Unless the government should decide to name baseball as an essential occupation, there can be no leagues making long trips, no associations that would take men away from work for weeks at a time while upon the road: but there can te strong clubs playing games that will not require the continual absence of n.ny player from his work or farm. The extra daylight ancc to perform, aud give the people time to come out, after work is over, to see the games. "Governing league, to standardize these games and to mak« their pennant races an attractive feature, will be necessary the present parks in each city will be available, and there are plenty of players within reach."
Han Johnson, though he doesn't agree with Governor Tener in many baseball propositions, likewise trunks the. game will return. Ban thinks the public will care but little for the schedules to be offered by the "safe shelter, leagues" of shipyards, steel plants, etc., and will refuse to patronize games played by the fellows who dilcked out from professional ball in mid-season. Amateurs, semi-pros and t.he major leaguers who stood by their contracts will get the call.
Ban think? a tremendous houseelenning will come when the. major leagues are ready to start in again—tl\at there will b» quite a sweeping out of deadwood, and numerous new faces will appear among the magnates.

Stories from th« American service I Camps in this country and abroad show how vij:al to the morale of the troops is the athletic equipment furnished the companies. Next to his rifle and canteen the soldier values his baseball e«juipmnet ahead of his other effects. One story from Paris tells how a small detachment of American troops was ordered to fall back temporarily from an active sector for a surprise attack at another point. The order was to move instantly. Most of the boys left their extra clothlnsr and even their blankets behind, but they hung onto the baseball gloves, bats and calls and when things were quiet along the sector they turned the equipment into the nearest Y. C. Au htit. The natiotial aeronautic committee, the only committee recognized In the aviation work by the war department commission on training camp activity, is furnishing supplies for the aviation students.

BABE RUTH HAS BEST W0RLDSE1S RECORD
Has 28 Scoreless Innings To His Credit, One Better Tnan Matty'i Mali.
What a eitange one yectr brought in the careers and fortunes of Ed Barrow, manager of the Red Sox, and George 'W hi reman, the new world's series hero! A year ago Barrow still was working to hold the shreds of the old International league together. Barrow had pulled it through the etormy days of a he Federal league, but the league bounded from one series of rapidjs to another.
Until late in the winter the Red Sox had hoped to get furloughs for their men in service, but the Massachusetts congressman, who tried to get the furloughs, soon found he had made himielf unpopular. Until the last Fraisee held on to the hope that Jack Barry would return from the navy to manage the lied Sox, but just a few weeks before it canse time for the teams to leave for the south Fra^ee sprung one of the surprises of the winter league seasou by naming Barrow the Boston pilot.
Barrow's appointment was not considered much more than a temporary arrangement, and was received indifferently in Boston. fie had been a good minor league manager, but had been a failure when he tried to manage the Detroit team. However, today Kd is on the top of the bactebail heap. It also is rumored that he got a bonus of $10,000 for winning the American league pennant and tho world's series.
Wkiteman'a Recradeaeeaeew Toust winter Whiteman probably was wondering what he would do if the International league blaw up. At the age of 33 he had a trial with the Yanks in 1!»13 without showing anything, so he hardly expected another major league opportunity, even though he was hitting well with Toronto. However. the war practically wiped out the Boston outfield with all its substitutes when Lewis, Walsh and Shorten entered the navy. Walker was lost to Philadelphia in a tragic bringing Strunk to Boston. Still shy an outlielder. Barrow had enough confidence In Whiteman to buy him for the Boston team. Soon he played left field only when Ruth was pitching. He received little consideration before the start o£ the series.
However. Barrow and Whiteman proved a combination mat was one of the leading reasons for Boston's winning its sixth world's championship since the National and American leagues began their fall quarrels in lyo:i.
Barrow's strategy was of the highest caliber throughout, and he won the first and all important games by crossing the Cubs and critics and pitching Ruth. Prior to that it wauj announced that that only sure thing was that Ruth would not pitch. But Babe $von a hairline, 1 to 0. decision over Jim Vaughn, and Boston got an edge, which it never lost. Judging from past world's scries history the tirst game is all that counts, as in 12 out or 15 series the winner of the first game won the series.
The fact that Fred Mitchell pitched left-handers practically exclusively gave Whiteman his chance. Boston is woefully weak acainst left-handers, with Hooper. Strunk ami Ruth, its star bitters, batting from the south side of the plate. In order to get another rifirht-handed hitter in tne game Whiteman patrolled lett field, and did it in a way suitlom equaled in wort's series Play.
Lorwewt Average Yet.
Several records were established in the series. For one thing the Red Sox won the 1918 series w)th the most, modest batting average yet recorded by a winner, the club average being .184. However, several losern have batted below that average, among those the losing Giants in 1911, wno hit only .17a, and the vanquished Phillies in 191a. who hit .1S2.
The series set a new record for clean fielding in a world's series with only five errors. Boston established a world's series fielding record which is not likely to be touched for some time wlvpn it went through six games with only one error.
Some critics have alleged that neither of the contenders would have had a chance with some of the former pennant winners,- yet in 19.11, when the Athletics were in their prime and the Giants had the best base-running team the country, 2S errors were piled up in six games, 17 by the Giants. The fielding and pitching in the present series would have won over such exhibitions of fielding.

We urge all oar Oct-of-town friends to do their choosing here Suburban Day
i stand th® test of all time. It is true Ruth did not equal Matty's wonderful performance of pitching throe world's seiies shutouts in a week. This may never be done again, but Ruth advanced Matty'scoreless world's series record another notch. Matty pitched 28 scoreless innings, 37 in 1905 and one in 1911.
Ruth passed this wTth J9, of which 18 were pitched against the Dodgers in 1916, when he won a 2 to 1 game in 14 innings from Sherrod Smith after Myers had hit a home run in the first inning. He won the first game of the 1918 series in the fourth game before he was scored on in tho eighth inning, lor a run of 29 innings.
Everett Scott again played errorless ball, and has hung up a record never approached by a world's series shortstop. He has played in 16 world's series games, in only one of which he erred, the fifth game of tho 1916 series, when he was guilty of two errors. This despite the fact that his shortstopping featured three series, in which he went after everything, and made some of the greatest plays ever seen in world's series competition.
In 16 games scattered over three series Scott has made 27 putouts ar.d 62 assists, with only two errors marring his work. His world's series fielding average is .S78, a wonderful figure for a shortstop.
