SWISH GOES DOPE, EVERYBODY HELPS GIVE JJUCKET TILT English Swipe Polo Title Welsh Raps Ritchie Boston Leads Giants Feds Finish Season. BY KARL ALLISON. The "dope" has been upset bo often tnte year that it must be very dizzy by this time. The American polo team, if you'll remember, was to have one of those lead pipe cinches against the British invaders. But the polo championship now rests on the other side. The tennis fans were sure that McLouehlin et al., could turn aside any

foeraan that attacked them, but Wilding and Brookers came into our midst and left with the championsmp laurels circling their domes. The Harvard crew was doped to beat that Yale outfit by half a mile or so. Yale won. Ritchie Gets His. Willie Ritchie was doped to knock the consciousness out of one Frederick Welsh, an English person. Frederick is now doing vaudeville skits as "Lightweight Champion of the World." The Pirates were doped to make a great fight for the National League pennant. And they made a grand fight to keep out of the cellar. The Cards were assigned a place in the second division but look where they ended. The Giants were expected to repeat, but did they? R. Marquard who pitches in the summer to keep his form divine is another person who assisted in upsetting the "dope." Organized baseball had it all doped out that the Feds would turn up their tootsies and provide a job for the embalmer long before July 4th. But . The Athletics preserved the dope to win the American League pennant. The Red Sox tried their darndest to do a little upsetting in this case, but they fell a bit shy in their aim.

FIGHT CARD OFF; BUSSEN RETIRES The boxing card announced for Oct. 14 by Billy Benson, promoter, has been called off. It will be probably the last of the month instead. Glenn Coakley who was to furnish the main bout with Kid Clarke wrote that, he had sprained his side and would be unable to go on. Boxing fans will receive with regret the announcement that Urban Bussen who put up such an interesting bout with Oafcley in the preliminary a few weeks back has quit the fighting game. , SOX ARE FAVORITES IN CHICAGO SERIES BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Oct. 7. The White SoxCubs city series opens this afternoon at Southside park with Benz scheduled to pitch for Comiskey and Vaughn for the Cubs. The advance seat sales indicated an attendance of 25,000. The Sox are slight favorites, having won four and tied one of seven previous series with the Cubs.

Baseball Generals Whose Men Meet in World's Series Fight

Here are the two big men in the base ball world today smiling for the camera man. George Stallings (at left) called the "Miracle Man," has earned himself a niche in the Base Ball Hall of Fame in a few short months. Connie Mack has long had a place in Hall of Fame and he expects to display his better right to it this year by nipping Stallings' world championship aspirations in the bud. The first game of the big series will opsn in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon. The Athletics have a distinct advantage in the playing schedule for the first two games are to be played on their home grounds. The first two days of the following week will be spent by the championship teams in Boston and what will happen after that nobody knows as yet.

BREAKS IN LUCK DECIDE GARDES IN WORLD SERIES

BY FRANK G. MENKE. Luck probably will be the biggest factor in deciding the baseball championship of the world. With the teams almost evenly matched in pitching power, with the teams close together in batting power, and the fielding edge of the Braves offset by the base-running advantage of the Athletics, it is likely that the club that wins the series that starts Friday, will be the club that gets the "breaks" of the game. When it is admitted by baseball authorities that luck is 70 per cent in baseball and that ability counts only 30 per cent in the grand total, it will be seen just how little dependence can he placed upon the "dope" that is furnished by figures. If two teams were to fight it out for a stretch of 30 to 50 games, the team that was superior in ability eventually would rise triumphant. But in a series limited to seven games, it's a different story. One lucky "break" may give one team the edge in the early part of the series and that advantage will be big enough to carry them through to victory before the other team has a chance to recover. Sox Get Breaks. Luck has figured largely in every world series game to date, and there is every reason to believe that the coming series will be no exception. And, as things look now, it's the team that gets the most "breaks" right at the jump that will grab the championship. The Red Sox defeated the Giants in the 1912 world series not because they really were a superior ball team, but very largely because they got the "breaks" of the game. The muff that Snodgrass made in the ninth inning of the final game was an inexcusable piece of work yet it was a wonderfully luck reak" for the Red Sox. The fly that Engle drove at Snodgrass in that game was the easiest chance that had been offered to Snodgrass throughout the series. It was a. drive that was directly at him. He didn't have to move ten feet. It was so easy that he took it too easy and dropped it. His error lost the game and gave to the Red Sox the title of world champions. It was luck for the Red Sox sheer luck. But their luck didn't begin in that game. Several times during the early part of the series they got the 'breaks" and riding -along with the "breaks" they rode to victory. Two Hits Win Title. Back in 1906 Rohe, a substitute in the White Sox ranks, delivered a brace of hits that gave the White Sox the championship of the world. Rohe was regarded as the weakest hitter among the "hitless wonders." Yet it was Rohe who delivered the punches. Can anyone deny that the hits he made at the critical moments were not hits of luck for the White Sox? If Rohe had been a .300 hitter random might have expected him to deliver a timely swat. But he wasn't a .300 hitter. He'd gone hitless day HEADACHE GONE! NO PAIN OR NEURALGIA Dr. James ' Headache Powder give instant relief 10 cents a Package.

Send some one to the drug store now for a dime package of Dr. James' Headache Powders. Don't suffer. In a few moments you will feel fine headache gone no 1 more neuralgia pain.

after day during the regular season, yet, when the world series was played, he smashed out the wallops that werfc fatal to the Cubs. In nearly every world series in the past there are records of "breaks" that have come at some time- or other in nearly every game. And, the winner of the series, invariably has been the team that has garnered the larger share of the "breaks." There have been times when the division of "breaks" has been about even and neither side has been favored. But those times hve been rare. John McGraw is among the many baseball men who declare that ability counts for only about 30 per cent in deciding a ball game. "A game is 70 per cent luck," remarks the Giant leader. "If you're lucky you'll win, no matter what a dub team you are handling. And, if you're unlucky, you won't win, no matter how many stars you have in your lineup." Christy Mathewson, hero of hundreds of diamond duels, agrees with his chief. Luck Wins Games. "There have been times in my career when I have lost games that I should have won had the breaks been with me," says Matty. "And there have been other times when luck was with me and I won, although I had nothing on the ball, and had no license to win.

"A team can go into a game andjage 201, and high total, play the greatest game of its career, ; f

yet, it it isn t ravorea Dy iuck to a certain extent, at least, it cannot win. Luck Is the biggest factor in every ball game." Bill Bradley, manager of the Brook lyn Federals, and a big league star for ; many years, echoes the sentiments of McGraw and Mathewson. He goes j even farther than McGraw by saying that baseball is made up of 75 per cent J luck. "Luck is the all imnortant factor in a ball game, - says Bradley, "sneer . .. . skill doesn't count for much in the total aggregate. "Evidences of this are apparent every day. Very often the league-

PREBLE NINES LOAD FOR TITLEJATTLES New Paris Signs Clements, Cooney and Liebhardt to Trim New Madison. New Paris and New Madison are at fever heat over the game to be played Sunday at Athletic park. Both teams will do some loading up, as they love each other about as well as the Germans love the English.

New Madison has made another addition to its line-up. Lester Clark, who was captain and catcher of the Richmond team last year, and held the same position with Winchester this summer, will do the catching. Negotiations are on between Glenn Liebhardt, the former Cleveland star, and

Marshall, and if proper arrangements i ... ..... ! are made he will twirl the game for New Paris. Marshall has also signed Cooney, this year's demon slugger of the Winchester crew, and Clements the leading hitter of the S. A. L., for the outfield.

KARL ALLISON DEAL SOLVES PROBLEM. James (Red) Smith, third baseman of the Braves, broke his leg in sliding to second in the first game of the double header played at Brooklyn yesterday, and what seemed a catastrophe for the Braves' chances in the world's series to the average fan has been offset by the announcement from Stallings that he has a man that will put up just as good a game at the hot corner as would Smith.. Charles Deal is the man who will get into the fray in his place. Deal has been sick the greater part of the summer, but has rounded into shape and should give a good account of himself. Remember, a few years back when George Rohe took up the third base job for the White Sox, and got away with it to such an extent that the Sox won the world's championship. USE THE EMERY. If Baker gets to hitting, why not use the "emery" ball on him. Chief Johnson of the Kansas City Feds is the father of this new ball, and used it to great advantage a few days back. "IT ,.. .V. . ...1 He goes into the game with a pocketful of cinders, and rubs a little on the spot he grips the ball, and it is said, he gets sharper breaking curves than any of the so-called new balls. STALLINGS UNWORRIED. "We were well prepared lor such a contingency," said Manager Stallings, referring to the accident to Smith of the Boston Braves. "I am glad to be in a position to say there is no place on the team in which we could not put a substitute at a moment's notice. Let me tell you, we are going to give the Athletics the hardest run they ever had." CHIFEDS GO DOWN.

His letter is only one of many received from grateful users of this wonderful medi cine. Read his own words : "I have been using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for several years and am still using it, and want to tell you what it has done for me. I had insomnia so bad that I could not work. I had some of the best doctors in Philadelphia, but none seemed to help me, so at last I made up my mind to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey; and I want to say that it has made a complete cure in my case."

ACCIDEHTTO SMITH Odds on Series Jump to 10 to 3 After Mishap to Brave Player. i BY LEA8ED WIRE. BOSTON, Oct. 7 Boston baseball fans were in gloom today over the news that Red Smith, the Braves' third baseman, bad broken his leg in the game at Brooklyn yesterday. The odds on the Athletics in the world's series lengthened to 10 to 3. Many fans believe that Smith's purchase six weeks ago from Brooklyn meant the winning of the- pennant. Aside from Connolly, he was the best hitter on the team, a fine fielder and an excel lent thrower. Mayor Curley will not , attend the games at Philadelphia on Friday and Saturday. Former Mayor Fitzgerald will lead the hub delegation or root era. Mayor Curley and Former Mayor Fitzgerald are bitter political rivals. the Indianapolis crew over SL Louis, dropped the Tinker scrappers to second place, a full game from the top.
