A. S.M.TOASTS TEAM WINNING

S. A. L. Employes Spread Banquet for Team and Present Man- ; ager Ulrich With Humidor ! as Appreciation. Cureton, as Toastmaster, Announces Formation of Bowling League to Roll Games at "Y." BY KARL ALLISON. , Employes of the American Seeding company last night held their first annual banquet at the Y. M. C. A. in honor of the baseball team which made such an enviable record this summer. About 125 enjoyed the affair. Mr. Cureton, superintendent, acted las toastmaster. Mr. Cureton laid I special emphasis on the value of good I rooting saying the support given the team was the best shown by any factory. Mace Byers, president of the league, after congratulating the winners said there was one reason why he thought the Seeders had come out ahead and that was the loyal support of the rooters which was an incentive to the best work. The A. S. M. played fair and square and won all their games by that method, he said. Give Ulrich Humidor. He then presented to Manager Ulrich a pretty humidor as a gift from the team and Mr. Cureton who have appreciated to the fullest his untiring energy and help. Mr. Ulrich thanked the team for its loyalty saying there was never a more loyal crowd on the ball field. Walter Bates talked on South 'America. Baseball is fast becoming the most popular sport there. Horse racing is the national sport but the northern pastime is fast getting hold. -Football is also being taken up. "Baseball stands in my mind for organization, co-ordination, and patriotism, and is a good training for a man in business," concluded Mr. Bates. Mr. Grover speaking for the rooters said he was one of the best bowlers boosting the team and the reason he made so much noise, was because of the fair and clean way the team went after the games. After this every member of the team was called on for a short speech. Black pulled off a good talk on baseball in the army In the Philippines. The rest of the members were so nervous that every one came in for a good Jaugh especially Taggart who wore out a perfectly good handkerchief trying to say something. Learner Speaks. Secretary Learner of the Y. M. C. A., offered his congratulations and lauded the winners for making it possible for the first open house among the factory men held at the Y. M. C. A. last winter. He also read an interesting poem entitled, "Get to Work." In winding up the evening's activities Mr. Cureton said that of the total collections taken at the games the A. S. M. company had given over 50 per cent. That is rooting only in a different way he stated. We also expect to have another bowling league this year but It has not been definitely decided how many teams there will be. America heads the list with 66,663 post offices; Germany is second with 49,848; then follows England, with 23,738; Russia, with 18,000; France, with 13,000, and Italy and Austria, each with 9,500. MOTHER OF SCHOOL GIRL TeII How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Daughter's Health. Plover, Iowa. "From a small child my 13 year old daughter had female weakness. I spoke to three doctors about it and they did not help her any. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound had been of great benefit to me, so I decided to have her give it a trial. She has taken five bottles of the Vege1 table Compound ac cording to directions on the bottle and she is cured of this trouble. She was all run down when she started taking the Compound and her periods did not come right. She was so poorly and weak that I often had to help her dress herself, but now she is regular and is growing strong and healthy." Mrs. Martin Helvig, Plover, Iowa. Hundreds of such letters expressing gratitude for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished are constantly being received, proving the reliability of this grand old remedy. If yon are ill do not drag along and continue to suffer day in and day out but at once take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a woman's remedy for woman's ills. If you want special advice write to Lydia CPlnkham Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass. Tonr letter will be opened read and answered by a iruui and held la strict confidence.

Boston Braves, Sensation of Baseball, Seek to Wrest Title From Mack's Men

This is the crowd upon which George Stallings is depending to bring the next world's championship to Boston. Their leader has set them a gigantic task, for, between them and the world's pennant they seek there stands a sturdy nine generaled by one Connie Mack. The first battle for the pennant, a battle that will overshadow the bloodiest battle of Europe's war, for a day or two at least, will take place at Shibe park, Philadelphia, the home grounds of the Athletics, on Friday of this week. The game the following day will also be played in Philadelphia and the new week opened in Boston with a two-day stand. The odds at the present moment are 5 to 4 in the Athletics' favor. What others think of the Braves' chances to grab the flag doesn't bother Stallings. He thinks they're going to win and no one in the baseball world would be greatly surprised if they do.

COLLINS AND EVERS FIGHT TO SHOW VALUE IN SERIES

Two Greatest Second Sackers to Match Brains and Skill for Fans' Brave Player Timely Hitter and Wonderful Fielder Connie's Man Ranks Higher as Base Stealer During Season Closing.

BY FRANK MENKE. NEW YORK, Oct. 6 Second in importance to the battle between teams in the world series will be the battle between Johnny Evers of the Braves, and Eddie Collins of the Athletics, in which each will attempt to convince the public that he is the greatest second baseman in baseball today. For many years the question as to which player was the more valuable to a team has been a mystery. Collins has a big edge on Evers in batting, but the supporters of "Trojan Johnny" declare Collins supremacy ends there. They claim that Collins, brainy as he is, must yield to Evers in field generallshp. Evers ranks head and shoulders above any second baseman in the National league. Collins holds the same position in the American league, and so the battle between the rival second basemen in the world series may enable the fans to decide which is entitled to the honor of being the real "Keystone King." Collins Big Factor. Collins by his wonderful fielding, his great batting, quick thinking and fine base running, has ben the biggest sin gle factor in the success of the Ath- , letics during the past five years. ColI lins always has been "on the job." He has answered every call; he never has failed in a crisis. And what is true of Collins is equally true of Evers. Before the advent of Collins, the Brave second Backer ranked as the greatest keystone player in the game. He stood head and shoulders above every other second baseman from 1904 to 1910, with the exception of the great Lajoie. The big Frenchman was the only man who challenged his claim, yet, when comparisons were made, the majority of fans gave the honors to Evers. Evers never was a terrific hitter, yet he is ranked as one of the timeliest hitters in baseball. Seldom has he failed to deliver when a hit was needed. His ability in that direction is almost uncanny. A hundred times back in the old Cub days, Evers has gone to bat and delivered the blow that gave his team the games. Since joining the Braves Evers has continued his little trick. Evers Better Fielder. Evers is a better fielder than Collins, although Collins is a wonder at his position. Evers' fielding average fo far this year is better than Collins'. His fielding average for his 12 years in fast company is better than Collins' average for his nine years. In base stealing, Collins has the , edge this year. And he had it for the j other years. But the edge is not so j large as to say that Collins overBhad- ; ows Evers in this direction to any great extent. Evers is almost the exact opposite of Collins in temperament. Evers is a bundle of nerves. He is so full of "pep" that it almost runs riot on a ball field. Evers Is a fighter. And he never quits. He fights just as hard for a game when his team seems hopelesly beaten as he does when the game is a nip-and-tuck affair. Collins, in contrast, is inclined to quietness. Collins isn't a Sphinx by any means, but long association with Connie Mack and a study of his meth

ods, has convinced him that ball games are won just as easily without noise as with noise. Collins exhibits "pep" when ocasion demands but he keeps it in lading until the occasion calls for it. Collins Less Brainy. When it comes to brains, there are many who believe that Evers has the advantage of Collins. The Braves' second baseman has a chain-lightning brain. He thinks so rapidly and carries 6ut the dictates of his brain with such dispatch that the fans hardly can follow his movements. It was Evers who won the 1908 championship for the Cubs through the nimbleness of his brain. It was Evers who saw that Merkle had failed to touch second base in the final inning of a game In September. Evers got the ball and touched the base, claiming a force-out. The claim later was allowed and the game played over. The Cubs won and the victory gave them the pennant. This act stands out as the greatest of Evers' career, yet he has performed a thousand quick-thinking acts in the past that saved his team many a game. Series Promises Fight. And so fandom has in store a treat when these two marvelous second basemen, holding the commanding positions for the rival clubs, meet for the first time in, a world series. The Cubs and Athletics met in 1910 but Evers, owing to illness, was forced out of the series, ad the fans had no chance to see the two second-sackers fighting it out in the blue ribbon event of baseball, for the unquestioned title of "King." Collins' batting average for his nine years, in fast company, is .310, and his fielding average is .948. Evers, over a

twelve-year stretch as a major leaguer, has batted .275 and fielded .951. NQHR TRIMS SQUAD FOR IIJU TO 16 Coach Announces Daily Practice of Men to Select Regular Quintet.

DUFFY'S HIGH ROLL PUTS K, C, BRAVES ON TOM OPENER Fraternity Opens Bowling Season With Rector Making 169 High and Average for Evening of 157. The Vets and Braves opened the Knights of Colmubus bowling season at the City alley last night. No large scores were bowled, but the closeness of the games made It very interesting. Father Duffy made high score and high average, high 169 and average 157. The league bowls again Wednesday. Despite Duffy's good work, his team could take but two games as the Vets braced and won the last one.

Applications for over 25,000 seats have been received. TY HOLDS LAUREL. For another consecutive year, Tyrus Raymond Cobb is king of the American league batsmen. Ty wound up the 1914 season with a mark of 366, his lowest since 1908. No man in the league has a chance to equal this figure. A home run drive to the flag pole in Sunday's game against Cleveland constituted the Georgian's final hit. ARMY-NAVY FIGHT. Indications are that the argument over the Army-Naval football game, which led Secretary Garrison to recommend that the contest be abandoned, will be reopened and a settlement reached. It was said today that Lieutenant Commander Fairfield was prepared to lay before Secretary Daniels a proposal that the game be played in Philadelphia this year, in New York In 1915 and in Philadelphia in 1916. The plan was reported to be acceptable to West Point officials. PROMOTER LOSES. Last night's contest at Kenosha in which Charley White of Chicago bested Stanley Yoakum, Denver lightweight, cost the promoter $600 net loss. The crowd was slim. CONTEST HANGS FIRE. The boxing contest between George Chip and Jimmy Clabby is not yet closed. The weight question Is keep
