OA! BE in GREAT DAY OR A SAD ONE FOR THE GRAND OLD MAN GLOVER WAS A LITTLE TOO CLEVER FOR "HAHK" ZOfflER MSB WMEWM 'Johnson Going Out in the World and Take a Chance With 'His Title. His Wonderful Catch in lion-day's Game Just About Saved Giants. Wheeler, Who Has Bsd, Standing in the Ground, Looks Good. This day, October 16th, 191 wlU be either a great day or a rad one for grand old Christy Matbewson 4f McUraw car-rie- out bis present plan and picks Hatty to start in the deciding game. The battered old veteran, beloved by every follower of baseball from coast to coast, will pitch what is probably bis last world's series game and on the "tingle contest banes the championship of the world.

A well-earned Tictory would be a glorious climax to a long career of "It appears to ns that' all this 'protest' against a salary limit is nothing more than the howling of a few old-timers who persist In the notion that a ball club la run as a philanthropic enterprise. It's a business. Just like any other, and the men behind It are ont to make money. Of course, they want to give the pouiie the best brand of ball that Is possible and still keep the right aide of the ledger. The fans support the enterprise, and that, too, is good business.

But when certain clubs in league can't make money because others are forcing the salary limit up over the heads. It's time to call a halt. The International League is a Class AA circuit, a fact which some people seem to forget, and it Isn't expected to pay major league salaries. There a possibility, of course, that a salary 'limit won't work well because certain owners refuse to keep within It, but that's what Ed Barrow is paid for. A reasonable limit, well enforced, will be the best thing that conld hnnn ta this leairue in the long run.

lr Mike Glover, who scribbles 'Boston" after his signature wtten he drops into a hotel to stay over night, came home on the chin as they say in turf circles. In a ten-round boot with Fighting Zunner at Convention Hall last evening. Glover won, but tbe best he could do was to score on points. Knocking Zunner out was too big a Job for Glover. For seven rounds the curley -topped warrior from the city of beans peppered "Hank" from the Black Bock district at will.

In the eighth Zunner woke' np and from that period until tbe finish Zunner made It Interesting for the Boston boy. During the last three rounds Zunner did his best work, and while he did not have any the advantage ot this trio of rounds, 'Hank" at least, held his own, something he failed to do in the earlier rounds, especially In the fifth, when Glover came within a hair's breath of putting Zunner out cold. Glover, is a very clever boy, not quite In Clabby's class, as far as tricks, speed and ennningness are concerned, but he is knocking at tbe door that admits one to Clabby's ex elusive circle. Glover has a style something like Clabby, yet It's different. In the writer's opinion there is no one Just like Clabby none better and few as good but while Glover boxed we couldn't help comparing him with Clabby.

You can't think of one without tbe other, yet Clabby would surely beat Glover, should they meet. The- difference is covered by the much used and much abused expression "class." Clabby has "the rlass." Glover, his Jaw working automatically on a cud of chewing gum, boxed the iirst seven rounds like a world's champion. He tied Zunner into knot? and made the Black Itock boy look more like a novice than a seasoned member of the ring. Glover pecked with his left and hooked with hia right, varying bis attack with wicked apparent and hard, stinging body drives. About the end of the fourth it looked very discouraging to Zunner's friends and when the fifth round bad passed into history.

Glover looked like a 1 to' 100 shot. In the fifth ronud Glover began to box at top speed. He chewed away on hia cud of gum and never changed facial expression. Zunner, worried because he could1 ner, bat he couldn't add the finishing touch. In the seventh round Zunner recuperated and in the eighth he began taking chances.

He slugged and mauled and wrestled and punched in clinches. Glover, apparently satisfied to win on points, went along and boxed pretty much after the" fashion of Zunner, except that Glover did more damage each time he struck. Zunner made a creditable showing. "Hank" was outpointed, but there was no disgrace in losing to Glover. There are few- legitimate welterweights' In the country capable of stepping faster than Glover.

Zunner's friends seemed to think he would bave done much better bad he tossed caution to tbe winds and went' In and slugged. Nonsense. It's all right to go ahead and take-chances, but Zunner if he had boxed as bUt friends wished, would have been in serious trouble. did nicely. Had be gone In and alugged without respect for Glover's attack lt might have been more disastrous for Zunner.

Local fans have been treated to some excellent preliminaries at B. A. A. shows, but last nigbt's appetisers were out of the ordinary. The Plttsley-Davls bout was a hummer ami the Goldberg-Dexter match waa a beauty.

Plttsley proved too hard a hitter for Davis. "Babe" fought with admirable game-ness and left the ring with every man in the house his friend. Everybody admires a game boy and Davis is the last word in gameness. In tbe fifth round, when he was reeling rf mo side to side, drunk from Plttsley's smashes, Davla tried to smile and make Plttsley think be wasn't hurt. In an exciting mlr-up In ths round Davis went toppling head foremost from the ring.

Before willing hands In the boxes nearby could assist him, Davis, with the instincts of a bulldog, had his hands on the edge of the platform and waa trying to get back Into the ring and toe the mark. He was so weak at this stage that he kept his feet with difficulty. I nthe 8ixtn round Danny McKetrlck tossed up the sponge an deven then Davis protested. The Glldberg-Dexter bout was a pretty one to watch. Dexter held his own until the" last two rounds.

In the final round Dexter appeared to go all to pieces and be might not have been abl eto go another round. Goldberg came with a rush in the last two rounds and earned the honors. In the curtain raiser Willie Lavin took Young Sharkey's puce. Sharkey coulin't get by Dr. Wilson, tbe club's physician.

Lavin met Johnny Daley and waa licked In two rounds. In the second bout of the evening Gene Wright, the "Unknown from the stockyards," licked Jack Wren. Jack ook many a hard smash on the Jaw, but his recovery after two or three knock downs was so sudden that some of the fans doubted Jack's stoutness of heart. it waa a great night of sport, with the haU about one-third filled. THIS YEAH YJ '41 not reach Glover with a solid punch, pressed the Boston boy.

Glover booked his left Into the body. It was a damaging blow. "Hank" lowered his guard just a trifle. Like a panther Glover seized tbe opportunity. With the speed of greased lightning he shot over his right, catching Zunner flush on the Jaw.

"Hank" rtag-gered and sprawled on the canvas, while Glover, displaying the tactics of a master, whirled and walked toward the ropes. Zunner was stunned, but he refused to stay down. Beferee Collins counted one and then stopped. was back on hl feet. "Hank" was not altogether sure of himself.

but he smiled and waited for Mike to come in.

He had been varying the varsity playing in good sbape for about fifteen minutes.1 There had been no long runs and the nsa1 of the forward pass had not been success ful. From the forty-yard line Wheeler made a fake pass and then started to rati around right end. He went dodging dowaJ the Seld through Baker, Markle and thai other scrub players and finally started off: for tbe goal line with all of them at his heels. He put the ball over and tbei coaches didn't let varsity kick the! goal. This was tbe only change In the lineup.

IA The first real touch -of football weather to prevail here this season put lots of pepper In the Princeton) sqcad, yesterday, with the resnlt that, Coach Cunningham gave his varsity 'eleven' over an hour and a quarter of hard scrim- mage work. The practice was without question one of the snappiest seen on, "University Field in many a day. Even with- out the services of the two veterans, Capfc Pendleton and Baker, both of whom were given another holiday, tbe first team Shewed lots of offensive, power and had llttla trouble In scoring on both the freshmen, and the regular second-string eleven.

After a thirty-minute perior, the cubs were withdrawn from the fray and the regular substitute eleven waa sent la to try Its luck against tbe varsity. Tbe ifub-Ktitutes fared no better than the freshmen, however, as the varsity tallied three times in fifty minutes of scrimmage.

ILTS SHI BALL? BARELY GRABBED IT.

Snodgrass Was Running With His Back to the Infield, With the Hopes of the Boston Fans Rising With Each Stride, the Bed Sox Players on the Bases Prepared to Dash Home, When, Glancing Over His Shoulder, "Snod" Cupped His Hands and Hauled in Wagner's Drive, One That Might Have Won the Game, Had Snodgrass Blundered. Boston, Oct. ia William- Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, District Attorney and the Marines can cheer np. Maybe they can be quoted at length after today. The world's series, which has been taking the minds of the voters off the issues at stake next mouth and seriously interfering with the exploitation of the fleet and the Becker trial, may end this afternoon.

And again it may not. When the aftermath of this quarrel for the world's championship is combed out for the best plays, and the spellbinders can pet in a word edgeways without talking baseball; when, the alibis are unravelled, and tbe aeries taken apart and studied carefully, the catch made by Fred bnodgrasa -tn the fourth Inning of Monday's game will stand out as the best piece of Individual fielding pulled by an outfielder of either team. And that goes for a lot of brilliant plays, not either, the tfreat catch that Josh Oevore made in last Thursday buodttrass in these' games haa called to minu tne old saying, "uiie uay a hero, the next a houo." Only he nag twisted around by laying tne hero's role lasr. x'ney can talk all tney please about Mar-quura line pitching Monuay and ttube aid souie line prodigious twirling alter tne fourth inning but It was bnodgrass wuo aept tbe Kutie's toes clamped to earth when he pulled the best ouuieia catch of tne series In the fourth inning, and lulled tne last rally itosion was aoie to organize at Mgxquara'a expense. Until Monday bnodgrass had been.

regarded as one of the several big reasons why tbe Giants had not won 'more games, anu he was conscious that he was getting unpopular even in iNew lork. Slany critics directly blamed him for upsetting niathew-son on Saturday. bnod a hitting all the way through has been a cluo-swiuging act wltn few breaks. Jven after be made his wonderful play Monday he sullenly refused to dotf his cap tm applauding thousands, but that takes nothing away from the importance of his catch. The itube was three tins in front and wobbling when Snod came to the res cue.

Bight after that play the descendant of the Bourbons pulled his well-known self together and tied the Bed Sox in bow-knots. If Snodgrass had failed to capture Heinle Wagner bid for a triple tbe game would have assumed a hue of grave concern to Marquard. Two runs would surely have scored, and, with Kay Collins pitching enut-out ball, and tbe Bed Sox only one run behind, there mght have been one of those noted Boston finishes or a featuring the Rnbe as its victim. Stahl started the inning with a base hit. Wagner drove deep and high to centre directly over tbe spot where Snodgrass had been standing when the ball was bit.

But Snod did not stand there very long. He started for John Murphy's flower garden ion tbe dead run. A sprint such as he flashed then would have chopped Steve Yerkes'a triple on Saturday to a single, and might have saved Matty's hide. When Wagner's ball soared out to centre on Its long flight the Boston players danced with glee and Joyous abandon. It appeared that there was not a possible chance for tbe ball to be caught, and Stahl started to pound around the bases with his run.

But Snodgrass gave it the old college try and got away with It. Far out In centre he careened toward ths fence on his desperate sprint. The ball settled, and as it fell the Olants gave np hope. Snodgrass, running with his back to tbe Infield, threw a side-long glance over his shoulder, leaped forward and cupped his hands. For a brief moment the spectators back of the home plate thought be had missed, bat with shortening strides he pulled np near the fence, turned, and shot tbe ball to Doyle.

Stahl checked his speed and turned back the Instant that Snodgraas returned the ball. The distance of the relay was such that he had time to scramble back to first base and escape a double play. Then Cady, Boston's giant catcher, flicked a long single to right field and Stahl pulled np at third. 1 The Boston, manager dashed across the plate when Collins grounded to short, but his run was cancelled when Fletcher and Doyle turned this lick Into a double killing and retired the side. Had Wagner's hit eluded Snodgraas the ball would have bumped the centre field fence for a three-bagger, and a possible home ran.

Stahl would have scored, uhd Oady'a hit would have counted Wagner and made the score 5 to 4. The game might have been cancelled. Tbe Rube struck his gait after that exciting round, and during the next live innings Just one Boston man saw first base. Snodgrass bad been panned good and plenty for hia poor work' in the series, but on tbe strength of that one play he wiped out the pastund made himself aolld with everybody but the Boston delegation. He must be given credit for it, and as as Monday's victory prolonged the series the lmvortance of the py cannot be overlooked.

No such catch haa been made in centre field at the Polo Grounds in several years. Wagner ia entitled to a good long abUi a the play. 019 10111 New York, Oct. 16.

The following from the pen of the Koch-e-ter Herald critic will Interest the fans: beto The first world's championship between American and National League teams took place in 1903 when the Bostons defeated the It was a case of the best live out of nine games then, but when- the National Commission was organised in 1901, after the refusal of the Giants to meet the Boston, It was decided to have the best four out ot seven games decide the title thereafter. Mnnv prrAnwmfi statements have been mri i.to.i tn thA ffept thn in 1903 the the Pirates after I losing three straight.

The fact is that the I Pitts burehers won the first battle, but! Boston the second, the Smoketowners the next two battles, after which It was easy 1 sailing for the Boston tans, who romped I away with the next four games. The largest crowd to aee any one of these games attended the third game when 18,801 fans were on hand in Boston. The smallest crowd, which attended the final i game, was 7.455. $50,000 was taken in for, the entire nine games, which la thousands of dollars less than any one i game has drawn this season. Baseball 1 Rochester.

Oct. 10. That salaries In the minor leagues, especially, tbe International, have grown too rapidly In the past few years, in comparison with gate receipts. Is the claim of the club owners, who Intend to take action shortly to curtail expenditures for playing talent. Right here In Rochester there Is a good example of this.

Under Buckenberger the monthly pay roll was $2,400. while tbe last two sessions have seen It cross the 17,000 mark each month. It is true that in th same time attendance has Increased by leap and bounds, jumping from about 100.000 In a season to something over 200,000. Comparison between the pay rolls and the attendance figures snows that the salaries of player have grown faster than the attendance, and It Is to remedy this state of affairs that the cltfb owner propose to limit the amount that may be paid to players in any one Steve Did Not Play "Over His Head" in World's Series Games. fIVTQTQ Xv A OlS, ARISES IN Yerkes is Not Like Other Stars of World's Series Fame, Who Went Out When the Big Fight Was Over -Yerkes is There When the Pinch Comes and He Has Proved He Can Cover His Position Well Under Any Circumstances.

RSKE-OFF 1H 1903 sure has rapidly grown" In popularity! The following was the make-up of the Bostons when they won their world's championship from the Pirates: Lachance, first base; Ferris, second base; Collins, third base; Parent, shortstop; Dougherty, Stohl and Freeman, outfielders; Criger and Farrell, Young, Lunneen and Hughes, pitcher. Hughes, who twirled for the Senators the past season, and. Bill Dinneen, who i now an American League nmnira. are the only members of a rn th nnlv members of toe above mentioned team still In the big leagues. The 1903 Pirate team wa composed as follows: Bransfield, first base; Rltcney, second base; Leach, third base; Wagner, shortstop; Clarke, Beaumont ana sseormg, outfielders; Phelps and Smith, catchers; Leever, Tall, Kennedy and Thompson, pitchers.

J-ach Is now with the Cnbs and Phelps with the Dodgers. month, or season. It is claimed that It is hard for the club's playing near the top of the list to make money, while those in the second division come out at the small end of the horn each season. President C.

T. Chapin of the local club, discussing the situation. said: "It is surely very amusing to read the 'dope' about salary limit In the International League. The facts are that every club owner in our league and out of It, as well as the ball players, knows full well that salaries have Increased too fast and are too high at the present time. "The first division clubs can only Just get through without loss and the second division teams are sure to lose, unless sales of players balance the matter np.

There will be no basty action br the club owner and the ball player will receive every consideration due him." therefore underestimated. Yexkes has been regarded simply as part of a machine and not an Important cog, like Speaker or Wagner. It haa been the- great work of Yerkes that made Wagner look immense all year, Just as Tinker's work helps Evers and Barry's work helps Collins. Tinker, as a shortstop, never achieved the fame that Kvers won an. a second sacker, and Barry, in tbe same position as Tinker, never had the praise handed to him that Collins gathered, b(ut neither livers nor Collins conld bve achieved their high standing but for tbe teammate to the right.
