TOLD BY LEADERS
Expected It All Along,
Says Connie Mack of Philadelphia.
m
New York, Oct. 8. Managers Connie Mack and John McGraw, victor and vanquished respectively, had the following to say alter the first battle in the world's series: By Connie Mack. The result doesn't surprise me. I confidently expected nothing else. The victory has obliterated any nervousness among the younger members of the team and their spirits have risen perceptibly. I haven't the slightest fear of sending in one of my young
pitchers today. No, I won't name him now. I'm not sure mvself.
By John McGraw. I have no alibis, even though the
team was outlucked. , Marouard wasn't
right. He'll stand them on their heads
before the series is over. For a week or more past I was certain Marquard would win the opener, but it happened
that he had one of very few bad days
r.e experienced in a season. We have
met Mack's best and have three more of our own waiting a chance.
New York, Oct. 8. That same powerful attack which earned them an American league pennant enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to triumph over New York's Giants yesterday in the opening game of the world's championship series of 1913 by a score of 6 to 4 before a crowd which was below the Polo grounds record but would have passed it If the officials had not been overcautious in closing the gates. Only a little over 36.000 persons were
admitted to the arena to watch the bitter battle which resulted from the clash of the season's champion teams. That was 2.000 shy of the high water mark of 1911. But more than 15,000 ' disappointed fans, shut out of the bat- , tie field, surrounded it and listened all afternoon to the cheering and such scraps of information as their luckier brethren would impart to them over the conte walls. j Chief Bender, gaunt, bronze skinned hero of many a post-season series, proved resourceful enough in spite of his great age to cope with the Giants ' all the way. He had no easy time of J it, for the men of McGraw fought the . " gamest kind of a battle, rallying for ' a successful assault after they apparently had been beaten off and fighting for victory right down to the last man ! out. Three pitchers were used by Manager McGraw in an effort to stop ,the - potent rushes of the Athletics, and onj ly one of them proved successful. "Rube" Marquard, a son of Gibeah of " much renown in the National league ' this year, was McGraw's choice at the start. For three innings Marquard looked ; all over a winner, but in the fourth and fifth periods the Mackmen massed their hits on him and won the game.
Old Doc Crandall, prescriber for many a sck combat during his years of service, was asked to check the -Athletics after the Giants almost caught them in the fifth. He was good for a

The Giants made as many hits off Bender as the Athletics did off the trio
i of Giant slabrnen, but couldn't combine them as well and there wty far I less power behind their safe drives. Of , the eleven safeties made off the veteran Indian only one was for extra
bases, and he would have quelled even.
their most successful attack without , serious trouble if Barry had played . up to his usual standard, i The Athletics . drove some of their eleven hits much farther away than
the Giants could. Two doubles, a pair
of triples, and one home run were in- , eluded in the Philadelphia swats.
Varicocele Without
SKNOW that It is the general fashion and practice now-a-days among many physicians to attempt to cure or benefit Varicocele by a surgical operation and sometimes it is necessary. Yet
kjn a long and most intimate ac
quaintance wun tms disease has completely demonstrated to me that surgery will Beldom cure it and almost invariably weakens the patient. I ' have successfully treated this disease in hundreds of cases without resorting to any surgical operation and many of such cases have come to me AFTER one, two and even three separate operations by other physicians. If you have Varicocele It is important that the disease should have attention at once, for it impairs vitality an 3 destroys the elements of manhood. And I am able to offer the most valuable advice and service with restoring to the knife. You can profit by a prompt visit. Advice honest and candid. Examination free and strictly confidential. If out of town, write. Prices moderate. Including medicine. DR. LEEDY (Over Lion Store) Hammond. Indiana
JOHNSON WOULD CUT COMMISSION'S
SHARE OF COIN
New York, Oct. 8. If the present plans of President Johnson of the American league and a member of the national commission are carried out. the commission's share of the receipts of the world's Beries In future years will be reduced. Ban goes so far as
to favor declaring the commission out
of all share in the receipts if his asso
ciates agree.
At present the commission deducts
10 per cent of the gross receipts of all
post-season series conducted under its
auspices. The 'growth of baseball has made that 10 per cent amount to such
a sum that It has excited the cupidity of the players who share in the re
ceipts of the post-season series.
President Johnson's suggestion Is not to increase to any extent the emoluments of the ball players from these post-season series, but to do
away with the present system of pay
ing the cost of conducting the national commission offices. The American league executive favors cutting the national commission's share of postseason series to 6 per cent or cutting
it out altogether.
EVERY BIG
LEAGUE HURLER HAS "HOODOO" Some pitchers are winners except against certain teams or certain in
dividual batters. In former years Doc
White generally had it on the Tigers and Senators. Ed Walsh usually had the Rod Sox and Naps beaten before he stepped into the box. Last season almost any old team in the National league could hang it on Lew Richie of the Cubs. But he was about the only twirler who could beat the Giants practically every time he stepped into the box against them. As to individuals. Rube Waddell in his palmiest days had only one batter he dreaded. This was the diminutive Kid Elderfeld. Any kind of a ball Waddell would throw the Kid would hop on. It became almost pathetic to see the efforts Waddell would make to stop Elberfeld's hitting and almost always fail. Davy Jones, when he was with the Tigers, was the only batter who could solve Walsh's delivery with comparative ease. Walsh says himself he was relieved when Davy left Detroit and came over to the Sox. That left Barry of the Athletics alone as the only man Walsh dreaded. That was last year, however. Ed hasn't been much of a puzzle of late. Tesreau of the Giants has the Indian sign on Zimmerman. No matter how hard the Cubs may be hitting Tessy he seems to be able to baffle the great Elm at will. ' The Giants Josh Heine about It, but Zim is man enough to admit Tesreau possesses his goat. If it wasn't for these few diversions baseball would lose a lot of Its Inter"t to fans and players alike.

GOLF STAR USES A THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD CLUB Some of Ray's Most Remarkable Shots Made With Ancient Stick.
By Cbarlea ("Chick") Evih. It has always been my opinion that the wood in the face and shaft of golf clubs loses its life quickly, and owing to this personal belief it has been my habit to change wooden clubs once or twice a year, but last Sunday at Ravlsloe my cherished theory received a severe jolt. Every one in the gallery of the amateur-professional tournament must have admired Ray's spectacular driving. It was terrific and little short of miraculous. Distance was almost annihilated and the wonder of it waa that direction suffered so little that he was rarely off the line of play. I have no doubt that the balls fairly buzzed as they flew down the course between the walls of spectators. All over the world Ray's driving has been admired and discussed. He is considered about the longest driver in Great Britain, and surely there are few In

I picked up the club and thoroughly examined it. It was truly
DILLON IN TWO HARD BOUTS - Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 8. Jack Dillon left yesterday for Lancaster, Pa., to box Leo Houck there on October 9. Jack knocked out the Lancaster boxer
in this city a few years ago. After Dillon's engagement with Houck he will journey to Akron, where on October 14 he will clash with Walter Monahan, the Pittsburg "white hope," for twelve rounds. Dillon has been training, hard and declarea.be never was in better shape. Frank" Mulkern, Milwaukee promoter. Is trying to bring about a match between Jimmy Clabby and Dillon next month.
RUBY HIRSCH TAKES BEATING New Orleans, La., Oct. 8. "KidHerman, the local 110-pound boxer, gave Ruby Hlrsch of Chicago a neat lacing in ten fast rounds at the Orleans A. C. last night. The first and second rounds were even, but the rest were all Herman's. Hlrsch appeared too finely drawn and it was only by the fastest sort of footwork and blocking that he avoided a knockout.

Personally, I should have considered
that club superannuated and entitled to retirement, and most golfers, I fancy, would have thought it too warped to be true; but there It was doing the most remarkable work. The majority of golfers became deeply attached to certain clubs and cling to favorite Irons as long as a piece lasts, but they tremhle at the thought of using old wooden clubs. They believe with me that the life of a wooden club is short. Therefore any golfer who has formed a wooden club attachment may be glad to learn that the great Ray has used the same driver for thirteen years. Unfortunately, however, we are not all Edward Rays.

players in yesterday's world's series game In New' York. Throughout the

they took ' precedence over official
business.
The president had already refused
an offer of . tickets to the game from friends. . He said that he was too busy here In Washington with the currency bill and the Mexican problem to accept the offer.
SERIES BETTING STILL EVEN New York, Oct. 8. Heavy betting was reported on the world's series game yesterday, but still at even money. Professional bettors do not figure largely in baseball, so It was difficult to obtain definite information as to the amount of wagers, but one estimate described as "modest" places the total sum at $1,000,000. Many Individual bets of $1,000 were reported as placed this morning.
