THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 29, 1912. .PUT TEA WW THE GLOVES Society Fad Grafted on the Fight Game in Australia. HUGH MTNTOSH'S YE&Y LATEST Tharsday Afternoons for the Fair Onea and Tea. Served Betweea - the Rounds at Rashent ter'a Stadinm. BTW. W. JJArCHTOJT. BAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Sept 31 Here Is an extract from a circular letter from .Hugh D. Mcintosh, dated Sidney, August & 1M3: , "One of th Innovations this season at the Stadium Is the Thursday matinee performance, Exery Thursday the Sta dium box holder give an exhibition of sparring In short goes and training- dl" plays which consist of bag-punching, skipping, ground exercises and such like interesting stuff. The first of these were held Thursday and proved an entire huc ess. It attracted a large proportion of ladles. This is an entirely new feature of the fight game in Australia. Ladles have hitherto kept away, except when now and then an occasional curious mem ber of the sex attended, thinking she would be shocked, and was astonished to find it was not so shocking after all. Hugh D. Mcintosh had Ha wife and Madame Til, the pretty and rich wife of Paul Til, the Imported Parisian boxer, ' act as hostesses and serve afternoon tea to the ladies who attended on Thursdays.- ... Who will say now that pink teas and pugiUstio tourneys cannot be made to harmonize? We knew, of course, that they served tea at the cricket matches In Australia and other portions of the British empire. The game in which the "flanneled fools of the wicket" excel lends Itself to mild Indulgences of that kind. a aad Base Ball. For that matter word came over eas a. couple of years ago that In order to add a social atmosphere to the trans planted game of : baseball, cups of the amber fluid, clouded with cream, were handed around during Intervals in the port out yonder. . I remember the circumstance distinctly, for a roommate of mine, who wrote base ball to those years, resented the Innova tion on th'seor that it robbed the American national pastime of It mas culinity It remained for Mcintosh, how ever. t graft a teapot onto a boxlrfg glove, and now the only thing to do is to lay back and await developments. Unless the sport of the ring degenerates there is little fear of boxing and Oolong be coming blended to such an extent that we will not be able to tell where tea ' drinking ends and thumping begin a It Is a world-old claim, of course, that ther 1" no "Port or diversion that cannot be Improved y the refining influences of women," but in the gam of the glove, where o much depends upon the delivery of a knockout punch, It Is hard to see where the thjng can be adapted to femi nine standard of entertainment. ' Even if the ladle could steel them selves to the spectacle an ordinary box ing contest afford, there I the proba bility that their presence would increase rather than temper the onslaught of the pugilist. . Whea Man Shows Off. - It's a poor man that doesn't. Hk Uf be seen at Ms very best when the ladle are looking on, and by thl token a fighter who under ordinary circumstance might hot be regarded a a glutton for punish ment would put up with quite a batter Ing rather than strike hi color whil watched by female eye. 1 All thing considered, the port of box ing had better be left to the men or eta discontinued altogether. In hi new departure Mcintosh can soareely claim originality. They tried to make a specialty of feminine patron age In London at one time, and If the cable told, the truth there were a many coronet a cauliflower ear at one Quensbury assemblage In England' capital lest year. i . Either thl Innovation had a contrary effect to the one desired or the supply of boxers gave out, for there ha not been a high grade glove contest in Lon don for many a moon. -Mcintosh' tiext circular will be awaited with interest If hi new scheme thrives, the boxing show girl of the future may das with the Horse chow girl of the past Then the edltoressea of the ladies' columns will be expected to furnish hint a to correct costumes for Queens berry matinee. ; And in the meantime It look a though a lady patron of Mcintosh' temple of tbumpology will have to acquire perfect pose In order to enjoy flstcuffs and the -cup that cheer at one and the nl time. Otherwise the spectacle of a ring man being suddenly upended by a violent clout may cause her to upset the brew and spoil her gown. , French Ftsrhtere tor Hugh. i Speaking of Paul Til recalls that Mc intosh I Importing French boxer in fair slxed lot.

It Is not the purpose of this discourse to pick a winner, but after the statistics have been laid bare the reader's imagi nation can have free range over the fact in seeking a conclusion on the final out come. The fact that Boston beat out the Ath let'es in the race this year with consid erable ease and that the latter left their well known marks upon the Giants In the last championship- event, has had a lot to do with making the Bed Sox the favorites to date. Jake Stahl Is ad mittedly at the head of a great ball club a club that has gone through the entire season at a steady pace without waver ing noticeably at any point in the cam- pa'gn and engineering none of the slumps that were predicted for It However after watching , the new champions In two games against the Yankees at the Polo grounds recently, it was the gen eral Impression among those who havt followed the fortunes of the various club that the Red Sox did not appear as strong as the Athletics did at this time last year. The Speed Boys have shown no flashy baseball throughout the sea son, an element that counts heavily where but a few games are to be played and one that Is liable to upset the stead) plugging system so valuable in a long schedule. Gtanta Have Speed. The Giants, while they have slumped,, and played erratic ball at time, have speed when In real form such as they are asserting Just now, and this dash may be a winning factor for them. It is generally conceded that MoGraw's men lire faster than the Boston athletes, and, although base running Is not usually Indulged In to as great an extent in a world's series as In a regular season, there I no real rea-soo why It will not win If applied, and further there I no telling how far McGraw may go In the use of speed. The only real comparison that can be drawn from actual contests between the Olanta and the Red Sox is from the series played In 1909, when the Boston boys, more or less, cleaned up with McGraw' minions to the tune of four games out of five. There have been some marked changes in both clubs since then and a general Improvement In both. To the Boston outfield has been added Lewis, completing one of the best outfields In the gante and one that has the edge on the New Yorkers. The Red Sox lnfteld does hot however, sparkle with as much brilliancy as the Giant Inner defence. Man for man it does not compare with MoGraw's. Doyle, Hersog and Merkle have a combined force that figures greater than that of the men playing the same position with the Red Sox. The final results are going to depend largely on the quality of pitching that Is inserted into the pastime by both clubs. This haa always been the case In a short series and will undoubtedly be so thl time. The series In 1906 between the Cubs and tha White Sox proved the value of good pitching over the hort distance, Th hltlesa wonders made a veritable show of the club that hid Juet won lis game In its own league and which Was also leading Its league in batting. Big Ed Walsh was ushered into tha mol- as often as he could get his arm into motion, and he pitched the Cub into a comatose sUte. ' The Pitching; Staff. The coming series will introduce Big Jeff Teareau and Joe Wood as promi nent factors .on th pitching hill. Matty and Marquard will also be there against Bedlent and Collins, with McGraWs well known three-ply combination, Wlltse, Ames ' and CrandtUl, against the minor worker on Stahl' staff. At the present time McGraw' pitching staff ' does not shape up, man for man, as well as Bos ton's, for the reason that Boston has more good pitchers. However, no definite lines can be drawn on this department until It is seen In what condition the Giants' staff arrives at the world's series date. At the present time Marquard Is rated considerably under his market price, but It is expected that the tall southpaw will get back Into tha form that he showed early In tne campaign and be ready to work his turn If called on. Tesreau, however, Is the hope of the club. The big Osark bear-cat Is Im proving as he goes along and hi recent performance entitle him to serious con sideration. The fact that he is experi encing his first world's series does not decrease W value in thl particular case, as he is probably one of the nerveless wonders of the gam. He has already proven that large masses of people have no tendency to disturb him when he Is pitching. . The Red Sox have shown a weakness for the spit ball all season, which la on of th best reasons why Tesreau should be effective against them. It was noticed at a recent game In thl city against Russell Ford that etahl's men could do little with the spit bailer's delivery, and with a little hitting on the part of the Yankees the new champions would have been beaten, as the final score was only to t Joe Wood, of course, will be a stum bling block In the Giants' advance. He beat MoGraw's men once and he has Im proved greatly this season. , But it is a question If Wood can come back for mor than one game after he elarted th aeries, as he Is not what Is known as a repeat ing hurler and when. worked often may not be effective.

Louis Cardinal scout owns no ball club, he does own a lone ball player. It seems that tn aailsfv debt owlns: Klnsella the men who purchased hi Springfield Three-I club from htm turned over to h'm the contract of Pitcher Bunny Harna. Klnxella expects to place Hearne In fast company. He made a rreat record In the Three-I this season. He started thl season with th Omaha tear. BY W. J. MACBETH. NEW YORK. Sept 2S.-A a big league poet our old friend John Milton hit about .600 or thereabout. He had a great assortment curves, speed and a change of pace. But be never slipped anything over the plate mor apt than hi famous passage: "They also servo who only stand and wait" The unveiled future must have opened to give John a glimpse of Harry McCormick as Inspiration for that line. "Mush the Moose" stands forth as the epitome of that sentiment t Big, cogenial Mac has done considerable standing and considerable waiting this season, but he has nevertheless served the Giant cause as well as Mathewson, Tesreau or Mar quard. That's putting It very strong. In many respects McCormick Is one of the most remarkable characters of the national pastime. He defies every law of athletic fate. He Is by far the most remarkable "come back" of the present generation. Volumes have been written about Jimmy Callahan and Mike Donlln; yet more remarkable than the story of either Is the return of MoGraw's great pinch hitter. Either Callahan or Donlln Is a mercury compared to McCormick. Speed is one of the first attributes of modern base ball. Either of the accepted "come-back twins" can beat out a hit now and then by slapping it slowly toward some in flelder. McCormick never. He has to swat It where they "ain't." His only virtues are unerring eyesight and the physical powers of execution. Both Callahan and Donlln were favored far above McCormick in their efforts lo return to big league fame. As a matter of fact Callahan was never out of base ball. While an "outlaw" he played semi pro ball constantly In and around Chi cago. It was simply a case of dropping out of the big show as a man In minor league company. Donlln's lot was a trifle harder. In the show business he was separated more or less from his first love. But he was almost- always as sociated one 'way or another with the game that made, him famous. Advertis ing purposes made It necessary for. him to keep his hand in. Knocking about major league cities during the summer time Mike would get out In the mornings wherever It happened to be and mingle with the fraternity. It wasn't real prac tice, but It was better than nothing. When Harry McCormick knocked off at the close, of the season of 1909 he ap parently knocked off for good. For two years he didn't take a ball tn his fist He devoted his entire attention to com mercial lines. He had evidently outlived his usefulness as a major league asset. No one made any fuss over his departure, not even McGraw. Last spring Harry McCormack made application for rein statement at the hands of the National commission. This was necessary because he had failed to observe the reserve clause of his contract with the Giants. He got back into the good graces of the organization without show or even fuss. Even McGraw didn't take a tumble. Mae figures that he would not stand In the light of the big fellow making a livelihood. MoGraw probably figured on using Mcv Cormick tn some sort Of trade. There did not seem to be the ghost of a chance of tha battle-soarred veteran catching on against such an array of outfield talent as the Little Napoleon mustered. Any how McCormick was ordered to report to Marltn. He brought with him little mors than his batting eye. But he showed thai he had not forgotten how to sting th ball In batting skiU th old fellow Started right In Where he had left off two years before. And he made such a fin impression in th southland that McGraw forgot all about any notions of turning him loose. MoCormiok, who would qualify for a execution of hla great bat In the pinches that helped New York to a second cham pionship. Four times In a row In. the crucial series In Philadelphia he delivered a pinch blow. As much as any man, he was entitled to the credit of rolling back the Quakers and re-establishing the Giants when ' the Cuba pressed closest His work against-the Phillies of Itself Justified a good gear's salary. 4rit f 'tf i . n$ ii ?J .i an;? n J v54 vfcW (' ft OMAHA PI1CMS STAND HIGH Hicks Comes First, with Kecord of 19 Games Won and 4 Lost.

He earns every hit And New York pays well for the labor. He Is a pinch hit ter of approved type; his record shows that So far this season McCormick has figured in thirty-six games. In all that time he has been to bat Just thirty-five times. He has scored four runs, delivered twelve hits for a total of sixteen bases and an average of .345 and has stolen one base that on the soft end of a double pilfer. . Outside the luscious bat ting average McCormlck's . work may not be very impressive. Bur it typifies a season of work well done. . ' It represents every fibre of nerve and courage. Every time McCormick went to bat a game hung , in the balanoe. He earned his salary by delivering the pinch punch. Day after day he might Idle on th bench without ever a chance to look over a real big league offering. Then In a flash would come a big open ing where a 'bit mlpht mean victory. That was the offlcs for "Mush." And he made good invariably. It was the Self sacrifice Is the fundamental creed which McCormick must follow toward his fellow associates. With his batting prowess ends McGraw's Concern in him. McCormick is .supposed to deliver the pinch blow that -starts a rally or drives home the necessary runs; then he steps out He is not even allowed to linger as a base runner once his office Is per formed. Tlllle Shafer or some other irrepressible fleet athlete takes up the base running burden from first and big Mao Is ohased off to the cool, sequestered shower.

Possibly altogether j Franta, Wichita, mis season he win nor have been actively engaged tn strife more than a couple of hours. Yet he pulls down a big league salary and he will get a full share of the world's series spoils.
