4 Betting on the result of the series continues to be desultory and In small amounts. This Is due, brokers say, to the fact that many of those wishing to place bets prefer to wait until the batteries for the first game are announced. The record freak bets placed here today when a fan posted $50 at even money that Baker does not make a home run in any game of the series. A Brooklyn man offered to bet $100 to $2,000 that the Giants do not win a single game, but thus far his bet has not been covered. Other bets recorded today were $1,000 even that New York takes the first game; $500 even that Bender Is selected to pitch the first game and the same that Marquard opposes him; $250 even that the Athletics make the first lilt and $50 to $100 that the winning team makes as many runs in one inning as the losing team does in nine.

While experts" the country over have dissected the two teams and by various methods of analysis have arrived at the conclusion that their choice will he returned winner the general "dope will tend to show that the Giants and Athletics are evenly matched the former excelling in the pitching department and made a great record last year In class football, showed brilliantly at quarter and kicked six goals. Long, who was tried out at fullback, did not really have a chance to show what ho could do, be made two touchdowns. The most brilliant play of the game was that of Harsh, when he made sixty yard dash for the touchdown. During the scrlinrn.ve between the 'varsity and the scrubs the spectators were treated to the only real football of the afternoon. Hog Vandergraaff for the 'varsity, succeeded In carrying the hall across the line bqt fumbled It and as a result the score was nothing to nothing.

4. In a contest that proved to be a burlesque on the tamo of football, the University of Alabama eleven annihilated the Birmingham College squad by the score of 81 to 0. Eight touchdowns were made In the first quarter, netting 63 points and the slaughter was continued until the end of the third quarter, at this point the Owenton boys were so exhausted that they decided to quit playing and the management made an effort to give the spectators their money's worth by having the varsity and scrubs engage in a sorltn-malte during what should have been the fourth quarter. Owenton never had a chance. The first touchdown was made within one minute after the sounding of the whistle and the scoring was kept up at Intervals of this space of time.

The Alabama boys plunged, crashed and tore through the Owenton lines without effort, and not once during the course of the game was tho ball nut of Owenton territory. The spectators were as undemonstrative us clams and the contest moved with the dash of a pink tea party. On account of the weakness of the opponents, it was impossible to tell whether or nitt Alabama had really improved in tam work since last Saturday when 3 toward held them to four touchdowns. Practically every man trying for a position on the team was given a chance to piny (hiring the contest. Hog Vnndo-grgaff starred as usual.

On the other hand the Athletics pitchers were found for 1,033 hits and gave 448 bases on balls while the Giant twlrlers gave only 298 free passes and allowed 1,238 hits.

The Giants fielding percentage Is .961 to .964 for the Quaker City athletes. The Giants have stolen more bases, but are far below In long hits. E. Murphy, Baker and Collins are far above any of the Giant players as to records In long hits and pushing over runs, tlfe Giants have stolen more bases. In glancing over the worlds series of the past ten years, "Home Run Baker holds the record for heavy and consistent swatting in the series with .429 and .375.

Chance is a close secoqd with .421 and .353 in 1908 and 1910, and Evers lilt for .330 in each of the 1907 and 19u8 series. Murphy, of the Athletics, Is next with .350 and .304 in 1910 and 1911. Seven teams of the. sixteen comprising tho two leagues have monopolized tlie series since 1903. These are New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh In the National, and Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Boston in the American.

prise me nt all if tlie boys should show something in a batting way when they face the Athletics. They usually may be depended upon to rise to emergencies. "McGraw and Muck are both wonderful managers, though I think that McGraw, being on the coaching lines has a slight advantage In a senes of this nature. The teams strike me as being very evenly matched. 1 think New York's superior pitching will offset Philadelphia's better bitting.

Tlie luck of the game always has cut a very important figure and is likely to do so again this time. With an even break I think New York has the better chance. tis hope that the issue Is decided upon its merits. May tlie best team win. Regulars Rest After 33 Points Are Made In First Quarter.

Not once did Alaryvillc get the ball Into Vanderbilt territory and only ohco did the vislturs make first down. During the entire first quarter Mc-Gugin kept his original lineup intact, and at tlie close of the chapter Vanderbilt had scored 33 points. Sikes at left hulf and Boenscli at quarterback were the individual stars of tho game, although the entire Vanderbilt team from first to last looked In.

A few minutes later Boensch raced down the field for twenty-five nnd a touchdown and a few minutes later scored a second one after a run of thirty yards. Calloway at left half for Maryville made some grandstand tackles, but the weaker team could do nothing with advancing the ball. Vanderbilt's line held like a wall from first to last and only on one occasion did Maryville make ud much as five yards through the Commodore line.

Maryville weighed only a few pounds to the man less than Vanderbilt. Floyd at right half for Vanderbilt and Preston at left end also showed ip well. During his stay hi the game Preston got around repeatedly and broke up plays while Floyd advanced the ball through the Maryville line with frequent plunges.

XKW YORK, Oct. 4. The Athletics are facing tlie best rounded pitching staff tlmt ever entered a worlds series and yet should be regarded as tlie favorites to win by odds of nt least 5 to' 4. Mutliew-snn, Marquard, Tesrcau and Rcnmree. the Giants leading mound artists, rank right at tho.

top all of them. Brown, Overall and Ueulbach, of tho 1908 Tubs; and Render, llank and Coombs of the 1911 Athletics are the best hurling corps of past world's series. 3n these casus there were three stars, while now the Giants have four, the Athletics possessing only two seasoned experts Plank and Render since Coombs has been laid on the shelf by sIckiipss. With only two crack pitchers opposed to Hie Giants four, Jmw are the Athletics soing to win? Mathewmm and Bender probably will be the slab opponents in the ftrst game on Tuesday, llank vs. Marquard is tho likely card on "Wednesday; Thursday probably will find Carroll Brown, Bush or Hhawkey pitted against lJenmree; Friday Mender bo ready to come back, probably against Tesreau, and oppose the Giants again, and Saturday Plank will be ready for tho second game.

It is within the bounds of possibility, In our humble opinion, that the series will come to an end with the Saturday game, the Maekmen winning four games of the first five played, Bender is a great workman when under an unusual strain, but oven then we do not consider him lie equal of Mutlmwson. In Ills present venerable condition, Plank hardly is as capable as cither Marquard, Demnree or Tesreau. Then arises the question again how are these somewhat inferior pitchers going to obtain four verdicts In four times out over their superiors? The answer is there aru eight men on a baseball team besides tlm pitcher. The Athletics us a batting team, without taking Into consideration the opposing pitchers, far outrank tlie Giants. In the American League race Just closed they hit for a team average of ever .280, while tho Giants batted under .270 in tlie National.

Moreover tlie Athletics have six men Collins, Baker, Mclnnls, Dan Murphy, Strunk nnd Eddie Murphy among the twenty-five leading batters of their league, while the Giants have only one of the leading twenty-five National League hitters, Chief Meyers, Another tiling to take Into consideration In the batting proposition Is that the Athletics have only an average pitching staff and accordingly their batters faced the best pitchers 111 the American League, whereas the (Hants have by far the best mound corps hi the National League, nnd consequently faced pitching that was weaker than the National League aver-n(jfe Frank Chance, now manuger of tlie Yankees, ought to lie tn a better position to know tiie relative strength of the two leagues than anyone else, being fresh from tlm Clubs, and lie says that tlm American League pitchers of th present time are quite a hit stronger than those of tlie National. Thus the Athletics have the better batting and the Giants the better pitching. Some contend that these two elements will equalize one another. There Is this factor, though tho Giants have mauled tlm tar out of poor pitchers but have been stumped by good twirling, whereas tlm Athletics have whaled the stars of the American League at almost the same rate as they have hit the mediocre men. in event that the star pitching of the Giants should curb the star hutting of the Athletics to about the same point thnt- the fair pitching of the Athletics will curb tlie fair hatting of the Giants, the other departments of piny will have to he looked to for tlm answer.

In fielding the Giants are somewhat steadier than they were Inst year, when they threw away the series with the Red Hox, or In 1911, when the Maekmen trounced them. But they are far from being In the. class of tlm Quakers In this respect. The Jack Mclnnls of today excels tnn Harry Davis of 1911 nt first base. Eddie Collins, at second, Is better than lie was two years ago, and 1 1n same may lm said of Frank linker at third, white Jack Barry, St shortstop, Is about the same as ever.

The outfield of tlm Athletics is fnr better from a defensive standpoint than It used to lie, with Eddie Murphy in the place of Briscoe Lord. George Burns Is better man than was Devore In tlm (Hunt garden, and with Red Murray and Frail Hnodgrass tn the other places, tlm New. Yorkers get about nil even break In the fly (busing department. But tlm Mclnnls, Collins. Barry.

Baker combination It) the Infield has quite an advantage over Fred Markle. Larry Imjle, Arthur Fletcher, and at third base, either Arthur Hhafer or Charley Herzog. Doylo tuna Collin close rai' at Noorool base, toil the others are outclassed. Behind the hat, TYallie Hohang, of the Athletics, ought tn about held IPs own with the veferan Chief Meyers. Generalship will cut a figure, as It always does.

But there is no telling who colng to poll the iuo( hones end vh Tfisa.

Muck Outweighed 25 Pounds To Man and Suffering From Injuries, Score Goes To 66 To 0. STARKVJLLE, Oct. 4. Special.

Howard College, of Birmingham, had no chance against the heavy and speedy farmers and mechanics of Mississippi A. M. here today and tho Alabama boys were defeated by a score of 66 to 0. The Mlsslsslppians beat down their opponents In the first half, and the light youngsters, without reserves of sufficient number, could not stop the attack. The Howard hoys put up a game fight It simply was a.

case or a heavy team with age and experience and an unlimited number of reserves, against a light bunch of youngsters with more ambition and spirit of fight than football ability. At that, the Mlsslsslppians got a good fight, for they met determined opposition at every point. They luid to beat down the enemy the Baptists could not be scared away. Howard College was out-weighed twpn-ty-flve pounds to the man. Its eleven, however, did splendid work with the forward pass, und at one time was on Mississippi's three-yard line.

Here Tisdale attempted a drop kick. It was blocked. Shaw anil Duke, Howard ends, broke up many attempts at the rnrward pass by the opponent, while Garner, at tackle, featurejd by breuklng through the line and downing Ids man. Mclliaul, at renter, and Captain Robinson, nt quarter, for Howard woro taken out of the game In tho first quarter. Robinson sustained a sprained knee, while MePliaul was knocked out.

In tho same quarter Shaw, of Howard, was taken out because of Injuries. Rich went to center, Acton to end, while Tisdale was shifted to quarter. Noble, left half for A. had his shoulder fractured, and he probably will be out of the game for the rest of the season. Mississippi had Its hands full until Howard was practically disabled because of Injuries.

Howard began the game with the following line-up: McPhaul, center; Taylur and Blaokwelder, guards; Garner and Walker, tackles; Shaw and Duke, ends; Tisdale and Glass, halves; 'Robinson (Capt.) quarter; Fulllngton, fullback.
