CONNIE'S TEAM STEALS MORE

THAN

BRAVES

Collins Leads Evers by Sixteen Bases, Boosting Total Figure for the Athletics Above Boston Nine. BY FRANK G. MENKE. The impression that exists that the Athletics far over-shadow the Braves In base running is erroneous. The Athletics have the edge but the edge is small. Fandom took a squint at the number of stolen bases credited to Eddie Collins of the Athletics, and at once concluded that all the other Athletics were likewise. They aren't nor anywhere near it. Collins, as a base runner, is a marvel, but none of his teamxnates are anywhere near his class. The other Athletics are just ordinary base runners. Collins, with a record of 60 stolen bases up to Monday, has a lead of 16 over Johnny Evers, the best base stealer of the Braves, and it is that edge of 16 bases that gives the Athletics their main base running advantage. Athletics Little Better. The Athletics, up to Monday, have averaged 2.17 stolen bases per game. - . 1 to cUn..lsl I ne ijraves average is x.o. ouuuiu the world series run six games and both teams keep up their base stealing averages during that series, the result would be that the Athletics will steal approximately 13 bases and the Braves It. Is there such a wonderful edge in that? Here are the base stealing records of the Boston and Philadelphia players who most likely will take part in the orld series: How Athletics Steal. Player.

There's more than an even chance that the two teams will not maintain their base stealing average during the world series not with Gowdy and Schang in perfect form. Both rank as the best young catchers in their respective leagues. Of the two, Schang is a better all round catcher, but he hasn't any real advantage over Gowdy In throwing. The Boston youngster, regarded as a mere novice at the beginning of the season, has come to the front with a great rush. His catching has been one of the great factors in the spurt of the Braves that gave Bostonians the pennant. Gowdy is a fine general. He is heady and cool and has almost uncanny judgment as to what balls to signal for. Time and again during the dash of the Braves, when the opposition uad the Braves' pitchers in a bad hole, Gowdy would signal for a certain ball and the pitcher would shako his head. Again Gowdy signaled and finally, and with reluctance, the pitcher delivered the ball that Gowdy called for. Invariably the ball (was a fooler. The great trio of Boston pitchers has come to a point now where it relies implicitly in Gowdy's judgment and the success of the Braves speaks volumes for Gowdy. Schang, in addition to being a great .backstop, is dangerous at the bat. His d rives, invariably, are long ones, and iwhen he connects with a ball it usually goes to the extreme edge of the field. ilJke Gowdy he is a fine general, and 'has been a great help to Connie Mack's young pitchers, I In this battle to come, the Athletics have the edge in the catching department, but it is slight, and mainly through. Schang's superiority as a hltter. 3,000 BASS ADDED TO MORTON LAKE I Fishermen of the county are pleased rwith the announcement that 3,000 bass will be sent to Morton lake from the government fish hatcheries within the next week. The lake is now becoming well 'stocked. There is some fishing in i spite of the fact that it is prohibited until next May. Because of the undergrowth of willow trees and weeds, it is difficult to catch bass but it is said that catfish and blue gills take the bait quickly. Butler County Fair SpecUl Train.

Easthaven lost the championship because of the Natcos winning two ' games from them, and Saturday Slack's boys played a revenge game just to show which team was really the best, they said.

The State eleven foungh hard, but were simply outclassed. Coach Childs said: "We could hardly hoped to have won, but did not look for so large a score." The eleven will get another good work-out this week in preparation for the Illinois game at Champaign next Saturday. Governor Ralston will accompany the team and while there will be the guest of Governor Donne.

PLAYING OF NETTS, WITTENBERG FULL, DEFEATS QUAKERS

Starting Strong Earlham Quails Before Merciless Attack of Substitute in Second Half Logan Injured. The first game of the season resulted in defeat for Earlham at the hands of Wittenberg college, Springfield, O., Saturday afternoon by the score of 24 to 10. The Quakers were defeated in the last quarter of the game for up to this time the score stood 10 to 7 in Earlham's favor. Netts, a Freshman at Wittenberg, who is considered one of the best full backs in the state, was run in the game as a substitute for Kimball at full back. His playing was too fast for the Quakers and he seemed to have them at his mercy. Netts was a star of the Springfield, O., high school team last year. Earlham was seriously handicapped by the absence of the regular back field. Both Thornton and Bowen, who play half and full, respectively, was out of the gme on account of an eligibility rule at the college, which holds them out of the game until three weeks from the beginning of school. They will be able to play against Wabash next Saturday and will prove a great strength to the team. Wittenberg's fumbling in the first quarter proved costly and Earlham took advantage of it. Bond, playing at left half for the Quakers, made the first touchdown of the game, recovering the ball on a Wittenberg fumble and running around end for the firqf; marker. Wittenberg tied the score in the second quarter when Deterick recovered a fumble. Logan placed the Quakers in the lead again by a drop kick from the thirty-five yard line. Logan was injured in the second half of play and had to be carried from the field. This greatly handicapped the playing of the Quakers the remainder of the game because Logan had been playing an excellent game up to this point. He sustained an injury to his .leg but it is not believed it will prove serious enough to keep him out of the game next week. Kelsay, who relieved Bond at left half, was also injured to such an extent that he had to be taken from the field. In the last quarter, a forward pass, Netts to Ihrig, sent the latter over for a touch down that cinched the game for the Lutherans. A few minutes later, Netts made a run of thirty yards around the end and put the ball down on Earlham's five yard line. He was then pushed through center for the last touchdown of the game. Darnell relieved Logan at quarter back, when the latter was injured, but did not show fighting spirit that Logan displayed. Spruce took Kelsay's place in the last quarter and Calvert went in for Morrish. Summary. Wittenberg. Earlham.

Afterthoughts in Press Stand Novack tripled in the first inning, so big Vordy, growing the least bit jealous of his battery mate, went him one better by polling two so far out that it is a wonder they ever found the ball. One should have been a homer. Mollencamp, the first sacker of the All-Pros, has been lined up for the first sack for Richmond, providing Kenney manages the team again. It 13 understood that Popkins is going to the Texas league. Threatening weather kept the crowd down. For a benefit game it was not very beneficial. "If it takes dark days to make the locals hit like they hit yesterday, we'll fixe it up with the weather man next season to have all the game days that way." So 6aid one of the local of ficials. LOSE ON ERRORS The Senators won another game yesterday from the Fairview team by the score of 6 to 4 in a game replete with errors. The bright and shining light of the game was the batting of Buck Muhl, who out of five times. up, smote the pill for a home run, three-bagger and a single.

HITS PUT LOCALS Oil TOP FOR FINAL COUNT OF SEASON Heavy Slugging and Loose Fielding Marks Game With All-Pros. Hailing From Ten Big Leagues. Richmond defeated the Cincinnati All Professionals yesterday in the last game of the season by the score of 10 to 7. The small crowd that attended the game were given its money's worth in hitting, but some of the fielding was poor, especially so on a fly ball that Donovan in center field made no pretense of getting. Kellerman who played in the Texas league was in Schlemmers place at second, Pat Cushing was back at short and Vordenburg on the hill, the remainder of the team was the same as in the Connersvllle game. Vordenburg was wild and but for the bitting of his teammates and a couple of "bones" by the enemy would hardly have won. Vordy helped himself though with two triples and a single. James who started for the All Pro's is the same Lefty that pitched for the locals against the Wiedemanns. All he had yesterday was a glove and a prayer and neither worked very well. Lefty was yanked in the last half of the seventh and Harding who was in centerfield took his place. Gunther went to the center field. Score in First. Following is the game by innings: First Inning Long went out Curtis to Popkins the latter making a nice pickup. Cook went out the same route.

Afterthoughts by L. Handley

Honoring the successful close of the S. A. L.'s first season, L. A. Handley contributed the following "Afterthoughts," which greatly pleased the boys: Somewhere the moon is shining, somewhere stars are bright. Somewhere there's a graphophone, and somewhere there's a fight; Somewhere fans are rooting, and somewhere umpires shouting. But there is no joy in Richmond the season has "winked out." OUR JOHN. The A. S. M. Club was a wonder. And proud of their record they feel; Barely they pinched off the pennant. But every one had a "square deal." And look at the stars in the line Of that A. S. M. bunch of renown; They've taken the rag and the bacon. And now they're the talk of the town. You talk about Muggsy McGraw, ' Of Jennings and old Connie Mack, Of Stallings, the prince of them all. But what do you think of our Jack? "Jack" is to "short it" for John, But Ulrich's the rest of his name The fellow that stayed on the job And battled to win every game. There's Dykeman and Drischell and Eadler, There's Winsett and Stevens and Slack, Hi Puckett, the princely south-ender. But did you hear John Ulrich quack?
