TV I TPC if Rhodes of Omaha Second in the West ern League List. SCHOONOVXR IS HITTINQ HARD OF COURSE f ana ever) sparalaUng on th out world ! series between Cuba In the- National r COURSE fan everywhere ar outcome of the the Chicago leegue and the Philadelphia Athletic In the. American. Each team haa It partisans and champions. W heard one man aajr the othar day that "tha Cuba would not have the ghost of a ahow to beat the Athletics." Of course, that la foolish. No conservative, well-Informed baae ball fan would car to b responsible for auch a remark. Ko team could ba organised from all the atari of tha ram against which the Chicago Cuba would not Kara a ghost of a ahow. Tel. that Is not sarins- they would beat tha best team on earth, and yet there Is ample rea aon to beHeve that they might. This pro- Athletica fan baaed his radical utterance ! on tha superiority of Connie Mack's pitch ing staff. It la a (rand pitching staff, no doubt of that; ona of the best any team ever assembled. 'And should tha Athletica win tha world's championship it would, un doubtedly, ba due to Ita pitchers mora than anything else. But It will do to remember that the Cuba also have a very effective pitching staff. No dispassionate view of tha situation could afford to overlook that fact. The Cuba' pitchers have been tested, moreover, by tha fire of mora than one world's championship series and have been found not wanting. Experience haa ahown that trier Is often some difference between pitchers winning games In a league rare and winning them In a world's struggle. The Athletics pitchers, such as Bender. Plank, Morgan, Coombs, Dyaart, are masters of the art. Krauts, tha pbenom of last year,' IS not showing such good form. Only two of this array Bender and Plank have had world's series experience, when tha Oiants defeated the Athletics In 1J05. Tha Cubs . bava such men as these to defend , them: Brown, Cole, Overall, Pfeiater, Ruelbech, Mclntyre, with othera. aa have tha Athletics. Four of these men have triumphed In world's series contests. Just where the Athletica have any edge over the Cobs en pitcher is a little bit hard' to determine. Than, leaving the box and going to other points of comparison, it la likewise difficult to see where Connie Mark's men are superior to the Cubs. But what counts mora than all also in auch a rials aa this Is team work, aa every fan knowa And If tha Chicago club la not the acme of modern team work, then it Is nothing. It Is admittedly the greatest baae ball machine of this. If not any other , day. 'It haa been substantially unchanged for four seasons and haa In that time per fected every trick and artifice known to the game. The Athletics have a strong leas rity Heads the Battle List, with Xla Mea A have .SOW a4 a tlae lllttlasr A vera a Dusty Rhodes, twirling for the Rourkea. has been pitching winning bail for the past few weeka and haa placed hie name second in the leagues pitching Hat.

Omaha. the Athletics have no advantage over the'Kan Omaha Cubs in pitchers, are away below it in catchers, not ahead of It either out or In field, perhaps stronger In batting, but In comparably Inferior in team work. Tet, It Is possible ell things are for tha Ath letics to win over the Cuba. We rather be lieve, however, that it la Is not probable. The Kansaa recruita continue to play good ball for Omaha Rlggert, Schoonover and Acock. 'It' appears that something good can come out ef Kansas, after' all, even If Topeka 1 M that state.

He might also have said It needs a few men with brains down on tha decks. Comlskey Is aa brainy. If not the bralnieet man la bass bell. He la at tha helm. Hia team Is at the foot, or around there. It ever a team lacked brains It Is this one and the Old Roman knows It better than anyone else. He la trying to In fuse soma brains Into it, too. Of the Giants that won the world' a championship from the AthleUcs la 19us, Devlin. Mathewsoa and Amea are the only onea on the team today. Of the Athletica that contended tor tha honor. Hartael, Davis, Bender and Plank are left. Neither team haa woa a league peunant since, but both are strengthened up to the point now where further Victoria should aot be Im possible. Omaha may expect to retain most of Its present contingent for next season, which ought to give Rourke aa excelltot start toward a winning team. If Rlggert la taken by Bostoa and makes good, that will a k loss to us, but his place should be filled and other weak places strengthened. The city will want a pennant winner next ar to go wtu that new park outfit. Christy Mathewsun and Chief Meyers will go Into vaudeville this fall, following the example of Mike Donlln. Joe Tinker and ether IHustrioua base ball stare. That vaudsrille money looks good along In the good eld winter time, even to a man of Maihawsoa's prinoely Income. 'Abbott. Topeka. Kt Hagerman.

FIVE HUNDRED MARK REACHED Quadruple Play on Bali Diamond Many 'Years Ago Fans May Well Sit Up and Wonder at This Wierd Tale of the Diamond. NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-AS far a baae ball history goes, there wss but one quad ruple play ever made. Triple plays hap pen ever and anon, and there have been unassisted triple play, but there was Just one quadruple play, and there may never be another. Under the rules now govern ing base ball. It Is not likely that ths op portunity will be presented again. Th quadruple play was made a generation ago, and few of ' those who saw It are now In the land of the living. According to Ben Dodson. an old-time fan, who waa present on the memorable occasion, It took place In New Tork lir 187. and saved a game for the old Metropolitans. "As nearly aa I can recollect," says Dod son, "the Chicago club wanted to catch a train. They had a custom In those days It was last repeated aa late as 189S in the National league of letting the under dog take two or three bunched Innings, if ao agreed, thus saving time, a the winning team didn't go to bat at all. If anyone disputes this assertion, they can find by looking through the files of 189! an in stance where the Chicago team permitted an adversary to bat three ' successive as terisks, as though each round had been the last half of the ninth for the victorious club. .... On this occasion, way back in 1876. Naw Tork bad the beet of it I believe by a tab of 9 to S and It seemed a cinch to put out the game, even allowing tbe enemy to take the eighth and ninth a a bunch. But the Chicago team raUled, and it began to look as if according to tha understood agree ment the Mets would have to take their unusual Innings after all. Blng, biff, went the hits; before the crowd could really wake up to the doings, Chicago had driven in five run. "Two men out, bases full, and four to be put out ere the seanoe could legally close. The batsman drovs a liner knee hih acreni ths diamond. Covili.a altuii for the Mets that day was a little, stocky fellow named Gasklns not Cssklns, who afterwards became a star of the early Oiants but Gasklns, smaller player, and one who never, aside from this on per formance, achieved any special fame. "The ball, ripped at Gaakln, who wore no glove that was long before the time of the Infield mitten. It seemed to drive his hartd back as though they had been struck with a mallet, t but, nevertheless, with his wrists back between hia knees, Gtufklns held that ball. He whirled like a flash and sprang to second, getting a runner who had left the middle station. He fired across to first, and the man who had been on lite initial bag was caugt. The first baseman threw It over to third, and a runner who had been sliding for the plate arose to learn that hs a as out and tnat the quadruple play had been completed. 'It was so long ago, and the games were so poorly recorded In those dsys, that even the story' of the quadruple play ha passed from authentic archives. Nevertheless, it happened, and doubtless the few of the old-time players who were in that game could reccliect the detalla. All I, myself, can clearly remember after all these years Is this: That the circumstances were aa I hae said, that the quadruple piay really made1, and that it was sn obscure fielder named Gaskins who pulled down ths ball.' Cilaata tasse rZeee ta That riaaarle, bat th Cab Aleae Hare ' Urea Able ta a r That Hlab. Twelve baseball players have done most of the work which resulted In the Chicago Cub winning over Mt games ftt the psst consecutive five year. Through the fluc tuation and changes of a big league lineup these men have remained with the team and have had aonderful success. Thoee Ml and more victories are a bare ball record. Therefore there la going to be a club which at present la prorwed under the name of the Five Hundred club and will enroll on its membership the following players: Frank L. Chanoe, manager and first baseman; Joaeph B. Tinker, short stop; John J. Ever.' second baseman; Harry fteinfeldt. third baaem.in; James T. Sheckard. left field; Arthur F. Hofffian. center field; Frank Schtilte, right field;' John Q. Kling, catcher; Mordecal Brown, pitcher; Or vail Overall, pitcher; Kdward M. Reu loach, pitcher, and John Pficster, pitcher. At present the Cub team Is practically the sa.-ne ss the ne which won the penant In 19UH. John Kling is the only man who has not played the full rive yearn, but since he wa technically itnd legally a member dur ing the l!rj season he Is to be one of the club. There will be no dissenting murmurs la the baseball world. The nearest record to the MO mark Is the one made by tlie New York Glants, who won In five seasons. 1904-199S Inclusive. 4i gsmes. It seems quite likely that the Cubs will reach a total of S3S In five years before this season eloses. Several other records of theirs have been computed, namely: Dur ing that time the 500 club has been at bat nearly 24,000 times, and has made over . base hits and almost S.000 runs. uch a record would give the team a batting aver age of .263 for th entlrs five season. Al most 20,000 putouta have been made during the five years amd nearly lO.Oi'O assists. But 1,000 errors are recorded, with the total chances reached 30,319. Its fielding average for tha five campaigns would be .965. Man sger Chance leads the five-year batting average with .290, and Jack Pflester foots the list with an even .100. Harry Stelnfeldt has played in 897 game and would have had a larger record but for a three-week lay-off In the last eastern trip, 4ue to Illness. Brown has pitched over 2W games. Shecksrd has scored SC2 runs, leading Evers but one for the entire half decade. Stelnfeldf has a record of COO baae hits. , Manager Chance Is quoted with the opin ion that the Cubs' success tills season has been mainly due to their batting. He was asked, according to tbe tale, bow he suc ceeded In keeping the team In the lead for National league honors. Chance replied that h was not responsible for tha success of the club, and that the team deserved all the credit. "I do not drive my men." Chance Is said to have explained. ."I ask them to give me their best, which they have been doing. end you see the result." Chsno slso men tioned that good physical condition wss an Important factor In the Cubs' showing, but he had misfortune with his pitcher. Kd Rrulbach fell ill. Ovetall wa knocked out aid Brian developed slowly. "Pfiester wss slow In developing." aald Chance, "and then broke his hand. Now, had all these 'nwn remained In (hape, I relieve that we would have won the pen nant by this time. Judging by the manner In which wj have Increased our lead under the handicap. "The Cubs ail hit well and truly." he con cluded. "Schulle Is coming as 1 expected, snd H of man is up to his ability, and Ever and Tinker are smashing out hits when they are needed, which counts In a ball game. They have been doing that prac tically all season and are responsible for the many series we took from the raster snd western clubs."

Coach Schlafcr report that the foot ball team is developing fully up to expectation and that the outlook Is very promising. Clay Curry at half promises to be a faster man than was his brother, Paul, and James Krlck, who Is working out for tackle. Is heavier and faster than were his brothers, ths famous Krick twins, who held Import ant positions In the Ida Grove line during Ida Orove's championship dsya Captain Pllcher will be worked at quarter. He Is much larger and heavier than quarter of th past, but It I figured here that men of weight are going to be an advantage In the quarter position yunder the new rules. His brother, Charles, is working out for ons of ths halves, with every Indication of making good. He is a sprinter. TWO GAMES WITH LINC0LH High Sekaol Teaate Will Play tiaaee la Llaeula am la Uaaaaa.
