Holmes Takes Palm As Quaker Batter

;,; Complete and final, the Individual batting records of the Richmond club for the season, show Johnnie Holmes, the dependable first sacker, taking the palm for the most consistent bingler of the team. Holmes' average for the entire string of games Is .359 a lofty figure considering the fact that Johnnie missed nary a game. J. Logan, who tgured In but three games, Is quoted a notch or two above Holmes, but this fact does not overshadow the performance of Logan's team mate. Second honors were copped by Wink Holmes, of the garden patrol. Wink, who participated In fully two-thirds of the games played, Is represented by the figure .349. , Vint Coney and Herb Logan, who have contested for third honors all season, dropped back at the last minute and allowed Webster Moore to 'slip up ahead of them. Moore Is just eight points in advance of Cooney and Logan, who 6how a .304 average for the season. In other departments, Moore leads In total bases at 30. Cooney, with 16 stolen bases,' heads that column. In abnormal swipes Moore with a trio of" triples and one home run, takes the coupons. The Individual records: AB. R. H. 2B. 3B. HR. TB. SB. BA. J.

"BABE" RUTH WILL OPEN UP FOR RED SOX

BOSTON, Oct. 5. All is in readiness for the opening game of the world series on Saturday at Braves' field. The, champion Red Sox are being kept on edge by Manager Carrigan, who believes in a little work each day for the regulars. This they will continue up to the day of the contest. A team of Red Sox went to Worcester today to take part in an exhibition game for the benefit of the old time National League umpire, John H. Gaffney.'The remarkable weather of the present week makes it look favorable for a fine Saturday. Will Be Pitcher. Babe Ruth will be the pitcher to open the battle for the Red Sox while Rube Marquard, it is believed here, will do the twirling for the Brooklyns in the get-away game. Betting so far is light. Odds today make the Red Sox 10 to 7 favorites. Hotel proprietors say they have received applications for reservations which far exceed any that have been made In previous years when the series was held here. Fans made an early rush to Braves' park today to get grandstand seats for the opening game Saturday. Notifications to successful applicants went out on the first mail deliveries. Before noon a great crowd was in line waiting for tickets.

RUBE MARQUARD TO OPEN SERIES FOR BROOKLYN

NEW YORK, Oct. 5. "Rube" Marquard will pitch the first game of the world series for the Brooklyns, according to present arrangements. The big left hander had a "prep" at Ebbets field yesterday before the game, but was not called on to pitch, and that is taken as an Indication that he is being tuned up for Saturday in Boston. The "Rube" is willing. He has taken the measure of the Red Sox, is In top form just now and feels that he can take their measure again. Marquard or Coombs is the way the sharps figure it for the opening game. "Chief" Meyers, who does all the catching when Marquard is pitching, has been in the repair shop the last few days with an injured wrist. He was hit by a pitched ball in the Chicago series and has not been at his best since, though he handled Marquard against the Phillies last Saturday. He did some practicing yesterday and is confident of being fit on Saturday.
