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

; 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.

author. ' - .

NEW YORK, Sept 28.-Wlth the New
York Giant safely entrenched on the
outskirts of another world's series, the
question of the melon cutting in the Oc
tober classic with the Boston Red So
and who Will cut the larger portion rises
as a popular subject for discussion. 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.

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.

well for the labor. He Is a pinch hit

that So far this season McCormick has

Charley : Meta Reports that Blne

f nl, bnt They Are Rapidly '
Making? tor South,
The cool, frosty mornings and evenings
will set th wild fowl la motion, and the
big flight-as the old Shooter always call
it will soon be here from th north.
Their duties up there have at last all
been performed; th young have grown to
full slse and are strong enough of wing
to venture upon their long Journey to
th couth.
The old ones are chafing at the restraint
and are all plumed tor new. and fresher
scene. It 1 really a Strang thing, but
nevertheless true, thatith young birds
com down first then follow th daddies,
the provident little hens always tailing oft
the flight
It Is oertalnly a curious thing, this
migrating business, and llttl mora 1
really ' known about It now than was
known In , the misty days of th oldest
duck hunters In th land.
Th shooting around Omaha, while
comparatively poor this fall, up to date,
Is dally Improving and may be tolerably
good before the final frees sets In. ,
The first mallard killed up at Carter
take , Is , reported by Chris Anson. ' He
brought It down Wednesday evening while
waiting for Bluewings, which species
have been quite plentiful at these waters
ever Since the middle of August
But their visit la about to encL.
The Bluewlng Is about as delicate as
an upland plover, .and when the morn
ings and evenings begin -to chill, he gets
ready to go over the Kansas border.
Charley Mets say that the Bluewlng
have never been mor plentiful than they
hav thl fall upon his private preserve.
He says that they were growing restless
as long ago as last Sunday, and he ex
pects to find them all gone by th time
he returns there next Saturday evening.
By th way, Mr. Mets has added 2,000
acres to his domain in Cherry - county,
and expects to increase It by three
thousand more before the winter sets In.
This will give him 8.000 acres In all
and he Intends to keep the land largely
as a game preserve for th pleasure of
himself and Intimate friends.
He Is having a lodge built in the center
of the property and will hav thl
tenanted by a regularly appointed
warden who will . patrol the place and
keep o."f all uninvited shooters.

twenty-four grouse which furnished the

Pelican . lake is situated , In the '' central
part of Cherry , county, and for many
years has been a camping spot for Omaha
hunters. rFall or spring visitors seldom
return, empty handed, from this region,
while in most Instances the , limit has
been the reward ot their efforts.
Joe Drelbus. who is at Dunning, Neb.,
writes home' that his party is enjoying ex
cellent shoot ng of chicken and teal. Mai
lard have been scarce so far, but with
th recent rainy spell they are beginning
to arrive In small bunches. He reports ao
abundance of feed everywhere, and suf

on October 6 for Currie's1 ranch, flfcy
five miles from Hyannls, Nebraska. Thl
Is the third succeesiive season the pary
has hunted this territory, both spring and
tall. The usual program has been to pro
ceed by automobile to Currie's ranch and
from that point with a complete but small
camping outfit, 'make brief visits to the
surrounding lakes,, spending a couple of
days or more at each one, according tc
the condition of 'the shoot!ng. The trip
yils year will cover a period of three
weeks, the quartet wishing to get a crack
at the big ducks, later in the season. It Is
planned . that camp 'will! be opened on
Muskrat lake, a body of water which has
contributed iU.fuirshare' to their gain

: STBOMSBTXRG, ' Neb?. Sept! 27-In The
Sunday Bee In a writeup of thedr "mar
velous" leoord during the base ball sea
son, -the Inglesldes take credit of de
feating -the Btromsburg club of the Polk
league. Ins one ( game and of playing a
tie game; in .the second! This Is not tha
case. however, as. the only team .that
has-defeated the locals outside ot , the
league were (the Royal Giants, a team
composed of colored '-players from! Kan
sas City. ,'''-"'.'.',' 4.;'- '"' '.-'!'..'
J'Th first gam played with the Ingle-'
side team was played, on August 21 and,
was won, by .the locals by the following
score: - . ; V. ' '''
Stromsburg . '...... .t e d-0,0,10 0 46

' Batteries': ' "" Ingleslde, Haley and
Bashaw; . Stromsburg.- Pickering. Olson
and Pickering. Umpire: . Brown of York.
t The . second game was , played" on the
following day, and to - allow the visitors
to catch a train, the game had to be
called In the ninth. Ingloside having had
their turn at bat and the locals were at
bat with, one man down. Aooordlng, to
all rules of the game the score goes back
to even innings,-and as the visitors made
their last run . In ' the ninth, the game
would , go back to " th eighth . Innlnff.
which would give th locals tha gam by
a score of 2 to. 1. Score: ';''.;' ,v

Batteries: - Ingleslde, Wright and
Bashaw; Stromsburg. Olson and Pioker
ing. Umpire; Brown of York.
They also, claim thta the Stromsburg
club was ' the only team that tailed to
play return games at Ingleslde, This Is
also a mistake, as they played two games
at Osceola, winning one and losing one.
The Osceola club, 'Also having scheduled
jrames in the league, were unable to re
turn the games.' They surely did not
break any records in this county; in four
games played they only won on game.

Frank IsheS and. Tom Falrweather hav
had a successful season at Des Moines
this year and arw more than satisfied
that the Iowa capital Is a cracking good
base ball town. - When, they launched
forth hi the 1912 race- It was up to them
to win back the confidence of the fans.
and they have done it They have given
the team a first division club that has
played ' good ball all season and the
financial returns prove that thefr efforts
were appreciated. Des Moines ranks this
year where it belongs as one. of the best
has ball towns in th Western league. '
The familiar letters, S. S. 8., Stand for Swift's Sara Specific a samo hon
estly and fairly earned by a rreat llood remedy. - The majority of physical
afflictions are erased by bad blood, because a weak, polluted circulation de
prives the system of Its necessary strength and diseae-reiatin powers.
ik ii. o. cares every disorder wnica,contes from . weas
or diseased blood, It tones up land regulates avery por
tion of the system, and creates an abundant supply of
uoarisbiaff properties which permeate tha circulation
and bring hcaltii to the body. 8. S. 8. is made entirely
of healing, cleansing roots, herbs and barks, which are
also possessed of great tonic properties. It does not
