RAH FOR BILL KILLIFER
PLAYER WHO WILL TAKE PART IN WORLD'S SERIES
TO BE TENDERED RECEPTION—ALEXANDER
AND MORAN MAY COME.
Now that the Philadelphia Nationinls
have won the pennant In that
league and will take part in the
world's series next month, Kalamaaoo
fans are anxious to tender a reception
to William Killifer, former
member of the Kazooz, when he returns
from the east at the close of
the season.
Killifer. who was born and raised
In Paw Paw, is Immensely popular
Jn this city and the fans will be glad
to give him a royal welcome when
ho returns. Doubtless he will bring
Grovor Alexander.- the great pitcher,
with him and it is possible that Pat
Moran, manager of the Philies; will
come west at the same time.
Arrangements are now under way
to have a luncheon and reception at
the Berghoff hotel If Killifer can ar-

(Special to The T«l«rniph-PreM.)
BOSTON. Sept. 30.—The Philadelphia's
yesterday won the National
league championship for 1915 with
Alexander pitching a one-hit game
against the present title-holding
Braves. The score was 5 to 0. The
defeat of the Braves makes it poselble
for the league leaders to lose all
their remaining games and still have
dear title to first place.
Among the spectators of the game
were some of the Boston American
players, the probable competitors of
Philadelphia In the world series.
The new champions clinched their
honors in the first inning. Bancroft's
•ingle to right and Rudolph's pass to
Paskert was followed by Cravath's
home rtm. which brought the latter's
home run record to 23. -A triple by
Paskert sent another home in the
fourth and Cravath cracked a double

Baseball under big league system
will be played in Cuba next season.
The new organization will be known
as the Federal league and in the future
the game will be governed in
the same manner as it is in the United
States. A national commission,
umpires, contracts and all
purtenances of big league
will figure In the Cuban organization
in the future.
William Armour, discoverer of Ty
Cobb and many lesser lights, famous
for a decade as manager of the Detroit
Tigers, the Cleveland Naps and
several American association clubs,
will begin work as a bartender in his
own saloon in Kansas City soon. Armour's
last job was manager of the
Kansas City Blues. He was released
three months ago, and since then has
failed in his efforts to find a baseball
job.
The complete record of Ty Cobb's
ten years in major league baseball is
a clear index of the wonderful ability
of this diamond star. Cobb joined
the Detroit club on Aug. 26, 1905,
and during the decade in which he
has played for the Tigers has rolled
up a grand batting average of- .358
in 1,239 games. In this period Cobb
went to bat 4,585 times, making 1.
729 hits and 875 runs. He also has
485 stolen bases to his credit, an
average of forty-eight and a fraction
a year.
Terry Turner, who is playing his
fourteenth season with the Cleveland
American team, is one of the great
players of the game to whom not
much attention is paid because he is
with a losing aggregation. In belter
company Turner would be a shining
star. He puts up an equally good game
at second, short or at third. He is
playing the latter position now, and
playing it brilliantly.
If there Is any man In the world
harder to pitch to than Miller Huggins,
the average National league
twirler hasn't yet lamped the individual.
One day when Huggins was
batting against Vic Willis, then with
the Pirates, the Rabbit fouled off
twelve consecutive balls. Vic was an
"easy going cuss, but he became highly
incensed and yelled to the imipirei
"Get a batter! I'm tired cf throwing
the ball to a bunch of nothing like
that guy there now!" Beg pardon,
but I can't help you." replied the
ump. "You will have to get rid of
Huggins first. The rules say so, and I
can't go behind the rules, you know."
George F. Slosson, the veteran billiard
player whose balk line cue work
has won him an enviable reputation
Internationally, has decided to enter
the ranks of the three cushion carom
players. He will represent New York
In the Interstate league contests
which continue until early in May. In
addition to his strong balk line play
Slosson for many years has been considered
a master cueist at single
cushions, and his many friends predict
that at three cushions - he will
prove to be equally adept. The entry
of "the Student," as Slosson Is famiMary
known in the world ef billiards,
will tfld a greet deal ef Interest
In the coming tournament,
which opened Sept. 2.
Les Darcy, the new middleweight
sensation in Australia. Is regarded in
the Antipodes as legitimate holder of
thp world's middles-right championship
through his victories over Jeff
Smith ann Eddie McGoorty. Australian
writers compare him with Bob
Fitsimmons, and some think his career
as a middleweight will be even
more brilliant. The middleweight title,
according to Australian reckoning,
passed from Jimmy Clabby to Jeff
Smith and from Smith to Darcy.
the ap-1 When Darcy knocked out McGoorty
baseball he merely clinched It. The Australian
accounts of the fight seem to show
that Darcy was master of Eddie Mc-
Goorty from the moment he entered
the ring until he left it.
It Is decidedly questionable whether
there is a better shortstop in the American
league than Ray Chapman of
the Indians. Besides being a brilliant
fielder and thrower, Chapman Is one
of the fastest men on his feet In either
circuit. Though a light-handed hitter,
he beats out a lot of infield hits and
any time he hits into the infield he
keeps the opposing team hustling to
get the ball to first.

[Editor's Note.—This Is the fourth
article of a series of 12 by that greatest
of all statisticians, Irwin M. Howe,
Kalamazoo baseball fans are taking a
keen interest in the comparisons made
by this great writer. Don't .miss them!
The articles appear only in the Telegraph-Press.]
(By Irwin M. Howe.)
If the result of the coming world's
championship between the Boston Red
Sox and Philadelphia, Nationals, or
the decision in a single game of that
series narrows down to the point
where on defensive play will decide
it. Bill Carrlgan and Boston fans pray
and hope that the commission falls to
Captain Jack Barry. Barry is a veteran
world's series campaigner. He
is the man who is responsible in a
large measure for the return of the
red hosed team and it will be upon
his orders that the Boston campaign
will be carried on afield.
Opposed to Barry will be Bert Niehoff,
Philadelphia second baseman,
and from a comparison of their respective
abilities Pat Moran's keystone
guardian comes off second best.
Bert, however, has one advantage over
his rival. He is a better hitter and
what he lacks on the defensive he is
able to offset with the willow. However,
to Captain Jack Barry goes the
palm.
Heine Wagner, another veteran of
considerable experience, is Barry's
understudy for this series. Heine is
a duplicate of Barry, hut lacks the
Stamina. He could not stand tho strain
of a season's toil. This pair of infieldcrs
have no weakness defensively.
They cover all the ground their position
includes, throw strow and true
and are adepts at putting the ball on
a base runner. They are the highest
personification of the brainy player.
Good Ground Covercr.
Niehoff, who will be called upon to
oppose this pair. Is not a second baseman
by choice. He belongs on the far
corner, but was placed at the keystone
hag because he can cover a
wonderful amount of ground to his
left. In lhat way Pat Moran has discounted
a part of Fred Luderus' worst
weakness—lack of ground covering
ability. This handicap on the part of
Luderus compells him to play comparatively
close to the bag.
It is almost useless to extol the
work of Barry and his possibilities in
a world's series. Jack has made
world's series history familiar to us
all. A few words about Niehoff therefore
would not be amiss.
Bert is not a youngster by any
means. He was up in the big ring
once before but couldn't hold on. He
has the experience now and so there
need be no worry along that score.
Niehoff is what Is known as a free hitter.
He takes a healthy wallop at the
ball and generally connects.
There is one point about this player
the records do not show. He works
better when acrisis Is at hand. Bert
Is speedy but not so fast as his rivals. |
He is a good run-getter and is superior
to Barry in this respect because
of his hitting ability, which puts
him in a position to score.
Here's Their Averages.
The following tables show what
Barry, Niehoff and Wagner did against

Barry 23G 359 26 958
Wagner 165 179 28 92a
Niehoff 276 303 37 945
Niehoff hits from the right side of
the plate and it can be seen that tho
speedy pitchers above had no terrors
for him. He is a .250 hitter but
against men such as Mamaux, Meadows
and Tesreau he averaged better
than his year's mark. A slow ball o*
a cutve Is hard for him to connect
with.
Does the Unexpected.
When the Philadelphia Athletics
were In their prime. Jack Barry was
greatly feared by the pitchers of tho
American league. He was not known
as a slugger but he had an uncanny
habit of delivering a base wallop just
when and where that wallop would do
the most good. He didn't lose any of
that ability when he changed over to
a Red Sox uniform and there Isn't
a pitcher in the younger league today
who would care to face him in a
crisis.
In the above table it is shown what
he did against eight of the best pitchers
this year. Walter Johnson's speed,
the stuff he will have to face against
Alexander, was touched for a .200
mark. Ray Caldwell of the Yankees,
who also can burn them over the
pan, was found for .500 mark. Against
Scott of the White Sox he attained
the same mark. Dauss, Gallia and
Faber were puzzles, to him in the
few times he faced them.
It Is Interesting to note how Barry
compares with his teammate in these
tables. Both are hitters of the same
class and finished the season around
the .240 mark, yet Barn' in facing the
good pitchers and In games where
base hits counted — outbatted Wagner
by fifty points.
Both May Play.
It Is possible that both Wagner and
Barry will play in the big games.
Barry is the choice to start and no
doubt will play In the majority of
games. Wagner will be given a chance
if for no other than sentimental reasons.
In the 1912 series Heine's playing
was marvelous. He went through with
at least six plays, any one of which
would have meant victory for the
Giants had they failed.
[Tomorrow Mr. Howe will compare
the batting and playing ability of tho
shortstops on the two world's series
teams.]

(Special to The Telegraph-Press.)
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 30. —
There were a lot of disappointments
yesterday afternoon after some two
dozen candidates for the 1915 Michigan
football team had staged their
initial scrimmage.
The trouble was that several lads
who had been scheduled to develop
a semblance, at least, of stardom,
failed completely. And to add to
the individual failures about every
one of the two dozen mussed things
up so badly that there Is considerable
gloom around Ann Arbor today.
Yost was so sore about it all that
he threatened to fire every spectator
off the field. He had to pick out the
spectators because he had used up his
regular assortment of language on the
athletes.
The score was 6 to 0 with the first
team on the top, but it was a sorry
victory. A lucky forward pass from
eiger to Dunne put the ball over the
line in one of the corners. Then
Yost called a halt. Over three-quarters
of an . hour of tussling had been
staged, and It is likely that if his favorites
hadn't made that touchdown
that they would be at it yet.
It wasn't his best which Coach
Yost lined up as a first team. But
some of the inserts did good work.
Raymond, in for Pat Smith, was just
about the wftole works for the first
team. "Rummy" Roehm performing
for Maulbetsch, did some good ground
gaining, but he received a little bit
more than his share of the coach's
criticism.
