riELDUTO ABILITY ABOUT PAR
NEW YORK, Oct. t-Tti th coming
Vorids series between the Iljlladelphla
National and the Boston American
both teams will be well provided with
Infield material. All told there ar no
Jes than thirteen players, who may
be called upon to take defensive poal
liona around th bam patha. The Rd
tox have seven experienced Inflelders,
ho by a series of shifts, can be formed
into several combinations of Unus
ual strength both at the bat and on the
tllamond. The Phillies while well equip
ped with regulars, are not as strong
numerically or In general average as
their rivals when 'the Infield squads are
considered as a whole.
The apparent advantage possessed by
the American leaguers will not count
heavily against the Phillies, provided the
two teams are able to go through the
aeries without the necessity of changes
line to accidents or Illness. Should
t mergencles arise, however, where it be-
omes Imperative to call upon the re
serve . forces of the Infictds, then the
resources of the Boston club would be
factor worthy of much consideration in
endeavoring to forecast the outcome of
the play,
During the most Important portion of
the race for the American League pen
rant, the Boston infield lineup was. as
a rulo, as follows: Hoblltsel, first base;
l'arry, second base; Gardner, third base;
Kcott, shortstop. Gainer was frequently
Ctied to hold down the Initial bag. how
ever, while Wagner filled In at second
and Janvrin took Scott's place at short.
In addition Barry is familiar with the
duties of both short and third; Janvrin
ran hold down third and Soott Is not un
familiar with the duties at second and
third.
What Pkllllea nor.
Opposed to the versatile and Inter
changeable infield, the Phillies have Lu
derus at first; Niehoff at second; Stock
on third and Bancroft for shortstop,
liyrne Is an inflelder of calibre and with
VMigey, forms the reserve corps for the
first . line of the Moranltes' defense
IBryne has played In a number of games
during the psst season, showing fair
strength at bat and on the field. Iugey,
who la the yuungvst member of the
Phillies clan, has figured almost entirely
this year as a pinch hitter and Is
mt likely to. be called upon to play
unless ail unusual emergency arises.
Notwithstanding the apparent superior
ity In numbers and veteran material of
the Red Box, the playing averages of
the two squads fall to show any great
advantage one way or the other. The
even Boston Inficlders have a combined
batting average of .231 against the Phil
lies, .2T4, while the fielding averages are
even closer the figures being: Philadel
phia, .906; Boston, .U. When the eight
players whs will probably form the two
Infields in the opening game are com
pared, the difference In the averages is
fcreater but the advantage about equally
divided. Luderus, Niehoff, Stock nd Ban
croft have a combined fielding average of
.964 and a batUng average of .2$; the Bos
ton quartet, consisting of Hoblitzel, Berry,
Gardner and Scott show a grand aver
age ,of ,M2 In the field and .264 at
bat.
Comparing these players, position bjr
position, the figures Indicate that Lude
rus is a better hitter and fielder at
first than Hoblltsel with the base steal
ing ability about equal and the Bed Sox's
packman holding aa advantage ta sac
rifice hitting for Luderus's average at
bat Is . to Hoblltsel'a .281 while in the
field Luderus averaea .991 to Hoblltsel a
.W6. At second, where Barry and Nle
Suff are likely to be the leading per
formers, the former Athletic star out
shines the player secured by the Phil
lies from Cincinnati In exchange for for
mer manager Charles Dooln. Barry has
batted .270 and fielded .965 this season
to Niehoff s .239 and .43. Niehoff la
much faster on the bases, having stolen
nineteen sacks to Barry's ero In this
deportment of plsy. Barry, however, has
Hhown far greater steadiness In the field
and has a better record In sacrifice bit
ting. Werk at Third,
At third the fans who witness the
series will have an opportunity to com
pare the work of Gardner and Stock,

nUfcNOS AIRRS. Oct. fc-The removal

American rattle Into Argentina opens t
American breeders a most primllng
market that has been monopolised b
Brttlah breeders heretofore. Already
soma of the Argentine estanrieros, as tho
owners of great ranches are called, hsv
taken Interest In the posolbllltles of the
conditions, and as a pioneer in the trade.
Fenor Celenrtlo Pereda, one of the mmt
promlent of the Argentine ranchmen, has
gone to the I'nlted States to select bulls
snd other stock for his estates.
In view tf the phenomenal advance In
the prices for live stock In the Argentini
and the probability that they may reach
still greater heights, particularly If the
Ku rope an war continues. It Is assumed
that the estancleros who seek cattle in
the United States will be prepared to pay
well for choice stock.
The cattle show at Palermo, which Is
an annual future and which Is consid
ered an economic barometer of prosper
ity In the republic has just closed
wl results that are far more encour- ,
I aslng then could have been expected. It
I made plain the fact that In whatever
other ways the country mlsht he suffer

The Araenllne hns eurrrc, triide dis

during the last t years the countiy
has been passing through lmi Is railed
here a "crisis of progress" the result of
lavish expenditure of borrowed capital
in national and provincial public warns.
Hut In the face of these adverse condi
tions, there Is the outstanding slgn-fir-ant
tact that a stncie clinmi l n Puriinm Mill,

lading equivalent to about cents In

Kftnrthora favorite II reed.
The averace prices at the Palermo
show rstatdlK-hed nmnv records. The
favorite breed In the Arnentine Is now
the Purham shorthorn, of which :V hulls,
making up the first lot put up st the
auction, brought a total of H.IW.ooO paper,
or an average of 7( a head t.itont
U.tlS American gold). And this does not
Include a 8 per cent commission which.

The llcreiord haa, It appears, declined
In favor, the champion bull of that breed
being sold for lll.OH) paper-only a fifth
of the price paid for the champion
Durham.
The Polled An ens. wh'ch was deemed
the coming breed a few years ao, was
In such little fsvor at Palermo that It
was difficult to find a bidder. The cham
pion of this Clsss went for only 11(00

Argentina la an Ideal grazing country.
but the natural pasture, except In t'llvl
Icgcd tones, la very scrubby. Owlns to
these visible disadvantages lands were
sold by the league in the old times, the
price being baaed upon the quantity of
stock that could be carried. There are
vast extensions, hundreds of thousands
of leagues, that are still obtainable at
prairie value. The poor settler can do
nothing with these lands lie would
starve on a leaKtie of It If he had not
a gun to shoot birds. But the rich syn
dicate or private Investor could, and
many do. buy with a view to Improve
ment. When this Is done Judiciously the
results are surprising.
In this country stock la never housed.
8omn animals preparing for the show, are
raised In special paddocks, but tho ani

life saves expense, and doubtless
avoids some of the cattle diseases. The
settler who purchased land forty years

day. Some of the big estanlcas have
been handed down from father to son,
but Argentine law governing succession
la altogether contrary to the mnintain

of all his estate among his heirs.

of Manager Moran, since his record for
the season shows that he is a harder
hitter and better fielder than Byrne, al
though figuring in but half the number
of games credited to Byrne. Stock has
better than Gardner, but Is fourteen
points shy of the Red Sox third Back
er's batting ability. Gardner is superior
In base running and Is credited with
more sacrifice hits, but is apparently
less steady in the handling of difficult
chances.
Comparing the records of the rival
shortstops it is seen that Bancroft, the
Philadelphia player, has a much better
average with the bat, but falls below
Scott, the . Boston player. In fielding.
Bancroft has played In almost all the
games of the season and his avenges
are:- Batting, .245; fielding, .-'l. Scott

batted .14 and fielded .frJS. In bass
stealing and sacrifice hitting Bancroft's
record shows to advantage over Scott's,
while the latter Is considered to be
steadier fielder.
It is perfectly apparent from a study
of the season's averages that both Man
ager Moran and Manager Carrlgan have
considered their arrangement of the In
fields from other angles than mere bat
ting and fielding averages alone for har
monious teamwork and skillful fielding
combinations cannot always be ex
pressed or proved by figures. The com
