HEAVERS FOR CONNIE MACK SHOW EDGE ON BRAVE TRIO Bender and Plank Register Higher Strikeout Average, but James and Rudolph Allow Fewer Hits and Give Fewer Bases on Balls for 1914 Season than Athletics Quartet The International News Service, aa in former yeara, will cover the world's baseball series with a staff headed by Frank G. Menke. Mr. Menke is unsurpassed by any of the present-day sport writers. The Palladium is Indeed fortunate in being able to get his expert opinions for its readers. Mr. Menke's letters and dope on the world's series will be received over the leased wire and printed in the Palladium exclusively following each game. ! BY FRANK G. MENKE. A careful analysis of the 1914 records of the pitchers who probably will work in the world's series, shows that the Athletic quartet has an edge on the Boston trio in real pitching power. But the edge is one of only the merest fractions. The analysis shows that while Bender and Plank have a higher strike-out average per game than any of the Bostonians, James of the Braves has allowed fewer hits per game and Rudolph has given fewer bases on balls. Records that merely show how many games a pitcher has won and lost during a season are valueless in attempting a comparison of pitching prowess. Some pitchers may be luckier than others. Some may pitch three-hit games, strike out a dozen men and lose. Others may give a dozen bases on balls and allow a dozen hits and yet win. The grand winning average of the Boston trio is .694 against .685 for the Athletic quartet. Menke Gets Figures. To find just what each pitcher has done on the firing line statistics were gathered for the 1914 season, up to and including the game on Friday, September 26. These figures later were reduced to show just how many batters each pitcher has struck out in an average nine-inning game,

how many bases on balls and hits he allowed. Going farther, the ng.ures were reduced to show just what the average nine-inning yield of hits, strike-outs and bases on balls has been from the Athletic quartet and the Braves trio so far this season. ! The result of the last figuring showed that the four Athletic pitchers as a whole, have allowed 7 hits, given 2 bases on balls and struck out 4 men in each nine-inning game. In comparison, the Braves trio has allowed 4 4-5 hits, 2 2-3 bases on balls and struck out 4 men in each game. Rudolph Steady Man. The statistics show Rudolph is the steadiest man of the seven pitchers. He has given only 1 2-3 bases on balls per game. Bender and Plank are tied for strike-out honors, with 5 per game. James of the Braves has permitted an average of only 7 hits per game less tffan any of the other six. t Here are the figures. The first tables show the total number of games participated in this season by all the pitchers, total number of strikeouts, hits, bases on balls and innings pitched: Athletics Pitcffers.

PREBLE NINES PLAY FOR TITLE AT PARK Negotiations are on foot by Manager Marshall of the New Paris Grays, to rent the Athletic park from the Richmond Athletic association for two of the games in the series to be played between New Paris and New Madison for the championship of Preble county. This series begins tomorrow at New Paris. New Madison has not played regularly this summer but will reorganize for the series. Included in their lineup will be Slarpe who played third on the Richmond team last year and Coblentz second baseman. Besides these they will have Slarpe's brother, Ratliff and Arnett, pitchers in the Ohio State league. New Paris has a record of winning 23 games out of 25 played this season. Ratliff Is one of the pitchers who defeated them. INDIANA CLASHES CHICAGO ELEVEN Only one game of interest in the western conference will be played tomorrow, Indiana playing Chicago. Much interest locally is being shown as to how Wabash comes out in the game with Purdue at Lafayette. Purdue is expected to win by a close score. Other games in the west will be between North Dakota and Minnesota, Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State at Columbus.

Meranda were the men in suits while Lanning was there to gather any instructions that might be given. After the men had worked up and down the floor for awhile they were given a quarter mile run to get the wind in shape. After the practice Roach handed out books on "How to Play Basket Ball," giving the rules. The next practice will be held Saturday night and if the team wants practice two nights a week Roach has made arrangements whereby they can have the floor every Saturday night in addition to their Thursday's practice.

ALL-PROS Oil BILL TO CLOSE SEASON WITH LOCAL TEAM Kenney Promises to Send Vordy to Front for Battle With Bob Leake of Cincinnati.

Richmond will play the last game of the season Sunday at Athletic park. Word was received by the local club last night from Manager Dick Kenney that he has booked the Cincinnati AllProfessionals as . Richmond's opponents. The All-Pro's have a cracker jack line-up, having journeyed over to Muncie and taken Shad Cunningham's team two games straight by the scores of 3 to 1 and 9 to 3. Bob Leake, who a few Sundays ago bested Connersville, will pitch for the All-Pro's. The Richmondites will have to extend themselves if they expect to end up the season with a win. The lineup will be announced tomorrow night. Manager Dick after the sorry showing his hired men made last Sunday has returned to his old love and will bring the same lineup that has made Richmond a reputation in semi-professional ball this summer. Dick expects that after their lay off last Sunday that his men will be faster than ever and if the All-Pro's win out they'll have a harder fight than they ever did over at Muncie, for if Vordy is in form and he has given Dick the assurance that he will be, it will take some tall hustling on the part of any team to get to him. The local line up will in all probability be as follows: Merkle cf, Dahl If, Novack c, Popkins lb, Schlemker 2b, Cushing ss, Lenninger 3b, Knisley rf, and Vordenburg p. Tomorrow is Tag Day. GOLFERSJN MEET Richmond Men Enter Indianapolis Play. Wilbur Hibbered, Dudley Elmer and Earl Spangler will attend the 36-hole invitational golf tournament which is to be held in Indianapolis. They will be entered and it is expected by the local golf enhusiasts that they will give a good account of themselves. Three former western champions will be in this meet, namely Chick Evans, Ned Sawyer, Warren Wood and while they will probably draw all the gallery some exciting games will be staged by cracks from different clubs in Indiana. S. A. L. MANAGERS TRY TO EXPAND The S. A. L. is trying to enlarge activities in baseball and have invited sport writers on the daily newspapers in Anderson and Muncie to the banquet tonight. It was not known up to noon whether they would be able to be here or not. It is planned to have the regular games on Saturday and then pick a rtpresentatlve team out of the league and play a series among the three cities to determine the amateur championship.

STOCK AT EARLHAM SLUMPS WITH TWO PLAYERS INELIGIBLE

The Earlham football squad was put through ltB final scrimmage last night in preparation for the Wittenberg game Saturday. Tonight will be spent In running through signals. In practice yesterday the eleven seemed to be uncertain where the play was being made in several cases, and the result was too much fumbling. This will have to be remedied if the men expect to return from Springfield with the Wittenberg scalp as Wittenberg is said to have a pretty good team this year. Besides this, football stock went way down yesterday when it was announced that Thornton and Bowen were ineligible for the game. Both expect to be reinstated in time for the next game, but Earlham needs them badly tomorrow. Team Tackles High. Practice started last night with the regular nine times down at the dummy, but as he was a little off and was broken three times by the head-on collision of some of the fierce tacklers. he was discarded for scrimmage. Coach Whiteside was thoroughly disgusted with the high tackling, and next week for every tackle above the waist he will give five rounds to the guilty player. He hopes by this method to get his men hitting them low and hard. Drop and place kicking were attempted from the twenty-five yard line and Herb Logan, who seems to have the bulge on the rest of the team, dropped several pretty ones over. The Coach probably will take the following men on the squad Saturday: Coleman, Cooper, Schlatter. Bond. Bruce, Captain Semler, Morisch, L. Cox, Logan, Fowler. Kinnaman, Calvert, Bruner and Darnell. MATTY TO TEACH BRAVES PITCHERS NEW YORK. Oct. 2 The pitching staff of the Braves is going to school some morning this week, and Christy Mathewson will be the master. McGraw and Matty are both anxious to see the Braves win from the Athletics, and will give Stallings the benefit of the experience which they gained in their batteles against the men of Mack. Matty will take up each Philadelphia batter in turn, and will tell the hurlers of the Braves the system to be used in pitching to each of them. But Matty will make a reservation in one case. He will not undertake to name any kind of ball which Baker can not hit. In pitching to Baker, he will recommend prayer and nothing more.
