TEMPERAMENTAL OPPOSITES.

Wagner, Ponderous Dishing Athlete, Bids Fair to Lead National League In Batting Agsin Cobb Likely to Head American League Batsmen. A few years ago considerable space was given in the newspapers all over tbe country to the relative abilities of Hans Wagner nnd Napoleon Lajoie. ' the champion sluggers of the National nnd American leagues. Very little is said nbout Lajole now. Still, be is a great ball tosser. But his successor as the star player of tbe American league, Tyrus Cobb, is now being compared to the only Honua and not to Cobb's disadvantage either. Should Pittsburg nnd Detroit play for the world's championship a splendid chance will be given for the fans and critics to size the men up equally. Wagner and Lnjoie are temperamentally alike. Both are modest, quiet men on and off tbe ball field. Neither has ever appeared to be a brilliant thinker or executor of plays. Both seem to have enough natural ability to mechanically execute plays that would appear sensational If performed by another player. The comparison between Cobb and Wagner is an Interesting one. Both achieve great results, but not in the same manner. Wagner is a ponderously perfect athlete, while Cobb, a lender, delicate appearing chap, possesses nbility which is constantly brought to the surface by bis brilliant plays nd the wonderful spirit that jhas made him envied and hated by others. Both men are wonderful bitters, iwonderfwl base runners and wonderful fielders, ror more than twelve years Wagner has kept up a dizzy pace. He lhas played every position and, not only that, lias been a sensation in ithem. He 1ms the speed of Cobb, Ithe terrific hitting powers of Lajoie, the energy of Jennings and the disposition of Willie Keeler. Cobb, on ithe other hand, has been setting the jkingly pace for but three years. But how different they are! You point to Cobb with pride as the ideal ball player, and thou you watch Hans Wagner and smile at the comparison, for all that Cobb Is. except in ability to "get there." Wagner Isn't. In action Ty Cobb comes closer to Khe athletic ideal than any other man In baseball. Built like a greyhound. (his wonderful, lithe body Is always a tuay. Wagner Is without precedent in the athletic world. As Cobb wins admiratlon by his grace, Wagner awes one by ibis bulk. Wagner Just bulges all over. iHe has to have shoes made to order, he is cramped In an ordinary bed, he eats a meal worthy of three men and i his hands are as big as good sized hams. i When Wogner wabbles to tbe plate winging his great bat it looks as if Oibraltar were toppling over. But when he is set to swing there is action wonderful action. i Wagner can run the hundred yards in close to ten seconds any time during a season's play. He doesn't sprint in the sense of the word, nor does he igaUop. No one has been quite able to describe just what he does, but he gets there. In fielding it's the same way. In Hans' great hands the ball assumes the size of a pea or close to it. The most terrific drive in bis direction becomes a puny tap when he reaches for it. Wagner hits .000 every year by force of habit. He has no equal at short, and his base running is always of the best. Ho is paid probably the biggest salary of any player in the game, and yet it has no joys for him. Gladly would he quit it all and stick to his one Joy in life raising chickens. He stands alone in baseball as the cue player who wants to quit. He Is Just tired of It all. He is worth well over $100,000, is a bachelor and is responsible to no one. His tastes are simpler than the average man's. Toultry books are followed by him more closely than are the baseball averages. But every year Dreyfuss comes to him and pleads. Won't he play just another year? And he is grateful. Without conceit, he realizes that be owes a debt of gratitude to the game. It gave him bis fortune, and he should not leave it when it needs him, so he gets in Hue again. As for gniueness, Cobb is a study. Just picture yoursvlf as you are. Imagine seeing your picture in the paper every night in every town you went to with Hues under it to the effect that fifteen or more men in every city had vowed to "get you." Wouldn't you feci a little squeamish, and wouldn't you the next time you went out be a little more careful? But not Tyrus. For three years now threats have been made against him by every disgruntled player he has shown up. But he has kept right on playing better ball every day, and now tie stands with only one man as his rival, and that is Wagner. Here's On on Jennings. Hugh Jennings had the opportunity to watch Catcher Archer a whole season In 1907. Frank Chance saw Archer catch one game of the world's series of 1907 and one game with tbe Buffalo team, to which Jennings relegated him lo 1908. Nuf ced?

Some WILLIAM A. LAHNEP, XATIOKAIi TEXXIS CHAMPION. time ago Larned stated that owing to business interests he would be unable to take the long trip. It is said thnt the easy victory of the Australians over the Americans last winter and the prospects of another defeat being handed to the Yankees has caused Larned to change his mind. Larned's excellent playing at the recent trials at Philadelphia was a great help in making the defeat of the English team complete. Bill Dineen Now an Umpire. Billy Dineen. former pitcher for the St. Louis Americans, has been appointed as an umpire in that league.

OLSON AND POSTLE Two Clever Wrestlers to Meet At Coliseum, Wednesday Evening. BAND HAS BEEN SECURED Decorators are at work on the Coliseum preparing it for the Fall Festival. This insures that the big hall will present a beautiful appearance for the wrestling match between Charles Olson and Charles Postle Wednesday evening. Arrangements have been made to have a band at the coliseum previous to the match. The bout will not be called until ! o'clock, giving the mat fans ample time to witness the Fall Festival automobile parade, which will start at 7:3 o'clock. Postle. Olson s heavyweight opponent is expected here tomorrow afternoo'i to remain until after the match Wednesday evening. He has been in training in the gymnasium of the Illinois Athletic club. Chicago. Olson will be here Tuesday to mingle -with his many friends until after the bout. MANY NAPS TO GO. Cleveland Team Will Be Changed Next Season. Greatly Judging from the rumors cow In circulation, the Cleveland team of 1910 wlil differ greatly from the one of 1909. Few men who are now members of Jim McGuire's forces will represent the Ohio city next year. According to present plans. Rhoades, Berger and Sitton. pitchers; Clarke and Bemis. catchers; Bradley. Turner and Ball, infielders, and Flick, outfielder, will be dropied at the close of this season or before the next season opens. Some of these men will go to the minors, and others will be traded to fomc other big league club. It is not certain whether Berger will go. He has dene some fairly good work this year and will be given a chance to show Uis best under MoGuire, allowing him an excuse for his work under Lajoie because of dissensions which existed. Clarke and Bradley will go to tbe New Vcrk Highlanders, and it is prob able that Flick "ill go to some othei club. Rhoades is expected to lea.i some minor league ciub. Those whare acquainted intimately with him de dare that he has a good managerial mind and that be should prove a success as the head of some team in the Class B league. Ball is slated to find the miners, and the same may be said for Bemis and SItton. Terry Turner will probably hook up with some big league team. A SMOKER TONIGHT. The T. P. A. lodge will give a smoker this evening at its club rooms. N. Ninth street. It is desired that every member will be present Important business is to be considered. imiar:imnw?i

AFTER NEW MEMBERS

The Richmond B. R. T. men have a big membership contest on hand an.l expect to initiate a class or over twenty-five applicants on Sunday October 17. The degree team from Fort Wayne lodge. No. 13J, of this city, will have charge of the work. There are sixteen members in the team and W. J. Torrence is the captain. The entire team and about twenty-five othfr members of the Fort Wayne lodge will attend the meeting, going to Richmond Saturday night and returning Sunday night. hen this class has been ini-i brakemen in Richmond that do not be long to the B. R. T. Trip In an Airship. Mr. Rabbit was waiting for a favorable wind to try liix airship when Mr. Fox came along, bent on mischief, as usual. "I'll cut old Rabbit loose. It will surprise him." he said. Unfortunately for Mr. Fox. his coat caught in the anchor, and up he went. "Drop me in a soft spot.'" he yelled. 'All right." said Mr. Rabbit. -I know a nice stagnant poo!-" "Is that soft enough?" said Mr. Rabbit as they sailed merrily away, leaving Sir. Fox in the horrid, muddy pool. In Topsy Turvy China. In the United States and European countries it is considered extremely rude for one person to ask another personal questions unless. Indeed, the two are on terms of intimacy. But in China, where so many things seem topsy turvy. the reverse Is the rule. When a Chinaman meets you casually on the road there is thonght to be no more delicate way of indicating a polite and friendly interest In you than asking, for instance, how old you are. From this he may rapidly pass to queries as to whether or not you are married, how conch yon make a year, where you are going, what you are aroint? for and eves bow much jon paid for various articles of wearing apparel.

BETTING ON SERIES

Local Fans Interested in Outcome of Pirate-Tiger Contests. PITTSBURG IS FAVORITE Betting on the world's baseball championship series, which will be played between Pitttburg, the pennant winners of the National league, and third consecutive pennant In the American league, which will be begun next week, is spirited in this city. As yet the betting as shown by the cigar store boards is light but, nevertheless, parties are placing bets among themselves. It is probable that sentiment locally favors the Pittsburg team as the winners. However the "Tigers" have their admirers and backers. Odds are not being offered on either team in this city, showing that the Pirate supporters are not overconfident and vice versa. A number of local persons are arranging to attend some of the games of the series. Some will go to Pittsburg while others will go to Detroit. The railroad rates to either city are about the same. BASEBALL POINTERS Tittsburg seems to have a penchant for small third basemen, as witness Leach, Barbeau and Byrne. Manager Breenabau of St Louis won't allow his men to bunt only his non-hitting pitchers and himself. Manager McGraw cf New York is trying Fred Snodgrass. his young catcher, in the cutfield. That's where be may play next year. Third Baseman Yohe. Washington's recruit from Galveston. Tex is a stoutly built youngster with a chipper style of handling himself. First Baseman Hoblitzel of Cincinnati holds the rcord for total bates hit in one game this season. He touched Crandall. Maro,uard and A me in a game In New York for two threebaggers and a home run, a total of ten bases. Give any team In the American teague Cobb and Crawford and It would be a factor in the race. The ability of this pair of players to drive In runs has won two pennantsfor the Detroit team and promises to land another fl-'g. YOUNG TO RECOVER. Word has been received by rela tives of Harry Young, a local postal carrier, that the operation which he underwent at San Francisco. Califor nia, was successful and that be would ' be convalescent in a few days. Mr. ' Young was taken 111 fa San Francisco, ! as a result of long travel, and an op-! eration was necessary. Attention is being given him by the postal ear-i riers and Odd Fellows lodges of Saa I

Francisco.

IS IT A WALSH SCHEME?

POINTED OUT THAT BROKEN FINANCIER IS PREPARING A COUP TO GET OUT OF THE FINANCIAL SWAMPS. (American News SrvJce Terre Haute. Ind.. Oct l. A rumor is in circulation here today that James J. Hill, the Great Northern Railroad magnate, is figuring on entering the Indiana field. Receiver Carpenter, of the Indiana Southern (Walsh linet hat ordered a special private train ready to leave Chicago Monday for a tour of inspection, and It is said representatives of Hill will accompany the party.
