RED SOX FACE .PROBLEM Doubt Is Expressed as to Whether Boston Backstops Will Be Able to Stop Base-Stealing Pro clivities of New York. BT HUGH S. FULLERTON. CHICAGO. Oct. 6. (Special.) In the Batching department, secondary In im portance to the pitching In a team and to a great extent affecting the pitching Itself. New York has an advantage over Boston and that will to some ex tent, at least, offset the superiority of the Red Box in many other positions. 1 nave studied tne catcners more closely perhaps than any of the other positions, save the pitchers, and have calculated on the basis of Meyers and Carrigan bearing the huge bulk of the work. Indeed, for practical purposes I do not think It at all necessary to study the merits of Wilson, or Cady, or Nunamaker, for these men. no mat ter how great their ability, will not get Into the games except in cases or ac cldent, or after one of the two regulars have dropped out for some reason. For Instance. Stahl or McGraw may take out their star catchers to let fleeter men run the bases, and thus open the way for some one else to catch. Meyera la Rated Highest. In studying Meyers and Carrigan, I have figured Meyers at 68 and Carrl gan at 65 in a total value on the basis of 100 as perfection, and I figure Wil son and Cady at 63. each, so closely matched that it Is hard to choose In any department between them. Meyers has two strong weaknessei one is being apt to muff thrown balls In close plays at the plate, the other bis excessive slowness. But he can hit. Meyers is extremely slow of foot, much slower than Carrigan, although Bill never was a Barney Wefers, and Meyers has not gained in speed during the last three years. He cannot reach first base much under six seconds, but when he hits the ball he does not have to. He Is steady In his work behind the bat. and with Mathewson and Marquard he works as well as any man can. The players tell me a lot of credit for Meyers' improvement belongs to Mathewson and that the Indian gets a lot of credit for headwork that really ought to be due to Matty. If this is true, why does he work so well with Marquard and with Crandell neither of whom thinks much or rapidly? - Indian Has Weaknesses. He throws we1), although he gets the ball away rather laboriously and not with much haste. If his pitchers did not hold up runners so closely I doubt very much if he would even now rank with the top-notch catchers. He Is ex tremely weak In handling the spit ball and this trouble has been aggravated this season to such an extent that Arthur Wilson has done a lot of catch ing when the pitcher was using the spit ball. Meyers Is very heavy and slow moving, and the quick break of the spit ball, especially when it is being pitched low, which is Its only effec tlve place, troubles him. Hla other weakness as a backstop Is in the frequency with which be drops balls at the plate. But he can hit and he can hit almost any kind of pitching. He hits speed, especially when the ball Is inside the plate, with terrific force. I do not think he will do much with Woods' fast hooting curve ball, but be may rap that fast one, and if Wood gets the ball Inside the plat and low, thers Is likely to be a sub third baseman work ing the next day. The Indian hit .333 last season and Is a trifle above that mark this year on the unofficial aver ages. He makes his hits honestly and Is one of the leaders at driving home runs across the plate. He makes many long hits, but about two basea is his limit unless the ball goes over a fenoe. Carrlgaa at Beat This Year. Bill Carrigan has been a good catcher for years, but not until this season has he been doing his best. He was out of tune with the former Bos ton management and Just got back In this year and showed them what he can do. There are two big questions in this aeries: First, can the Giants hit Boston's pitching enough to reach first? and. second, can Carrigan prevent them from running the bases? Two players, both American Leaguers, have told me that they believe the Giants can steal on Carrigan. He Is a corking thrower and gets the ball away well. He whips It around the bases and he Is not afraid to cut loose a throw. Besides that, he has a lot of help from both Terkes and Wagner in blocking men at second to finish plays. I do not think Carrigan is as finished a catcher as some, but then he Is better than either Ira Thomas or Lapp, and they stopped the Giants and the Cubs both and killed off their base running tactics. Of course, the Giants' mode of attack Is well understood and the Boston pitchers and catchers will plan their defense to stop It. I believe that Carri gan throws well enough to prevent very much stealing, and it Is upon him that I base my idea that Red Sox will steal more bases In the coming series than New Tork will. ' Carries Good Hitter. Carrigan Is a good hitter, about .2S0 normally, and likely to crash Into the .300 class, although not the equal of r""hririr 1 Y it- I ll ! . 4 i - y4 f . .

EACH FINISHED WITH CLUB Meyers in that department. He is a lit tle speedier than Meyera is, but not enough to enable one to speak of speed and Carrigan at the same time without feeling that he has committed a gau cherle. He hits good pitching, is a long driving, free hitter and strong in a pinch. I do not figure that he will do much hitting in the series. In fact, I believe that be is handicapped more than any of the Boston players by the style of pitching he must face. Mar quard comes nearest fitting the kind he likes to hit. Matty ought to stop him, and If he gets a hit off Tesreau I shall be surprised. An accident either to Meyers or to Carrigan would not hurt their teams nearly as much as one would suppose. I understand Carrigan's hands are not in the best condition just now, but they probably will be all right by the open ing day. Amateur Athletics. This week will mark the opening of the interscholastio football season In earnest with two games, Portland Academy playing Lincoln High School on Wednesday and Jefferson High School playing Hill Military Academy on Friday. Hill Military Academy will receive one of the best quarters In the city in Eddie McAllen, who will start class work tomorrow. Hill Is roundina- out In good form and despite the poor pros pects at the first of the season, is showing up better under the direction of Carl Wolff. The final meeting of the Archer & Wiggins football league will be Wed nesday night at the store of the same name. All managers must be present or at least represented if they 'Wish their team on the roll. MEEK REAL LEADER OF NORTHWESTERN Hartley In 45 Games, How ever, Bats .386; Hap Myers Has Three Titles.

Wilson, of Seattle, comes next, But he also figured in about one third of his team's games, so the real honor belongs to the veteran Harry Meek. Meek led the league practically the entire season, being at times passed by Wuffli, McDowell and others, but always cheerfully regaining lost ground and stinging the ball at a con sistent, steady clip, while rivals slumped. Myers Holds Three Records. Hap Myers, of Spokane, made the most bits, the most runs and the most stolen bases of any ballplayer In the league and ranked second to Meek. If a title could be handed to the men who was of the most value to his team's offense and that title should consider not only Datung average, but run-getting. My era would be king. He has Meek out classed after first base is reached. Myers base-stealing record smashes any previous performance in North western League history. Tou have to fo back 20 years in the official guide ooks to find any record to compare wnn ijtn stolen oases, and that Includes every league in organized baseball for mat time.

Minor Baseball. The past week has marked the dls. banding of the majority of the minor amateur baseball teams. All in all, it hub oeen a most successiui season In and around Portland. To choose championship team would mean the starting of another season, practically. for every team which has a string of victories, not too much Interspersed w'.th defeats, claims the city title. However, no team has been immune from defeat and so the thing becomes an endless chain and every nine claims tne championship. The Studebakers had a strong team at the end 01 the season, although not strictly an amateur nine. In the last game with Estacada, one of the hard est teams the Portlanders tackled, the Studebakers gained a victory only through the use of half a dozen stars of the bush leagues of the surround Ing country. Steppe, a clever little fielder from . Astoria, played a fine game with the Studebakers in the last few games. Maxmeyers All-Stars will meet As toria today In about the last game to be played at the Hammond Mill grounds this Fall. Astoria is another team which has been taking many of the Portland nine into its net without much trouble. e The TImms-Cress Painters have dis carded the uniforms for the year, al though there Is a prospect that they may be donned for the last time this afternoon at Estacada. The two teams have met twice before this past Sum mer, but the Estaeadana are willing to give them a chance to retrieve their glory lost in the second game. Indians Again Beat Bags. SEATTLE, Oct. 6.

WORD OF CAUTION GIVEN Secretary Heydler Warns Persons Not to Buy' World Series Seats From Strangers or In Any but Regular Way, NEW TORK. Oct B. Counterfeiters are at work on bogus tickets for the world championship baseball games here next week, according to reports reaching the New Tork Baseball Club tonight. It appears that trouble is likely if the report of counterfeiting is true. According to Secretary John A. Heydler, of the National League, to night it will be the patrons themselves. however, who are to blame if they are foolish enough to purchase bogus tlcKets. The counterfeiters' plan Is declared to be the work of scalpers of the most crooked sort," who, having little chance to reap a harvest in speculation this year, have designed to fleece the public particularly persons from out of town. "While we have heard these reports, said Mr. Heydler, "it is certain the counterfeiters cannot produce anything like tne tickets we are using. Not single ticket has left my possession and . not a single one will leave my hands until Monday. It is a hard ticket to counterfeit and with the game beginning Tuesday, no printers would have time to copy it. Anyone who buys a ticket except in the regular way . certainly will be buncoed. There are about 6000 reserved seats to be placed on advance sale Monday morning, two to each pur chaser, but all the other seats will be sold only at the grounds, on the day of the game. Since everybody buying ticket will have to pass directly Into the grounds, there Is not the slightest chance of any tickets getting back in the crowd for. speculation. Any paste boards getting afloat in the crowd will be bogus and the police Will be on hand to arrest anyone trying to dispose of them or use them." gin over Philadelphia, last year's world s champion. In the. National League a still doner race for second place has brought Pittsburg and Chicago to almost a tie The Pittsburg men have the honors tonight by a two-point margin, but a loss tomorrow to Cincinnati and a CM cago victory over St. Louis would glv the Cubs the second place. The Giants won their final game to day in Washington Park, Brooklyn, marking the last major league context to be staged In that old park. Tesreau, the "spltball" pitcher, wnoae exceptional success during the latter half of the Giants' season has placed him at the forefront in the world aeries, was worked out today and showed fine form in the five innings he pitched, al lowing but two hits. Precedent, incidentally, haa been against the'-men who looni ap In ad vance as probable heroes of the world's series. Speculation as to who will "Bakerize" the forthcoming contests had led to the choice of Spr-aker, Wood, Gardner or Stahl among the Boston men, Doyle, .Myers, Tsereau and Mathewson for the New Tork team, but there are as good chances for a dark horse. FRENCH ATHLETES CHALlrENGE Americans Invited to Enter Inter national Cross-Conntry Race. NEW TORK, Oct- 5. The Unlsports, governing body of track and field ath letics in France, has sent a challenge Twirlers Who Represent Three Top Teams Will AH Go to Major Leagues Next Year James ) Scores Most Wins. ' Singularly enough, the race for tha pennant finds a parallel (n the race for pitohlng honors, for three young men, representing the three top clubs, finished, one, two. three. Just as their respective clubs James, of Seattle, first; Noyes. of Spokane, second; Clark, of Vancouver, third. All are "coming" youths, and all go to the major leagues next year. 1 James deserves the pitching honors. Only three pitchers held their oppon ents to a lower batting average; he led in strikeouts and scored the most wins. Noyes fine control was the most re markable thing about bis work. About one and a half bases on balls per game was his average. Clark had the best results in holding down bits of the pitchers who finished the season, the batting average of his opponents being only .218. Kaufman was the "Iron man" of the league, working In 53 games and facing; over 1300 batsmen. Belford was the wildest man In the league, but he Is closely pressed by Wilson, of Victoria. Wilson and James led In "beaning" batsmen, each hitting 20. Noyes was the hardest to score runs on. the average against him being, 2 1 per game. Cadreau was bis closest rival. 2.4. This may be explained in part by the fact that another table will show that the Indians were the strongest defensive team, generally, leading by a wide margin in team fielding. The detailed pitching records are: 1 GIANTS FINISH SEASON WITH 103 GAMES TO CREDIT. Cnbs Have Chance to Pass Pittsburg . Today in Race for Sec ond Place. NEW TORK, Oct. 5.

DUCKS ARE IN DANGER TODA1 Lower Columbia River Points Lure Number of Hunters. Duck shooting Is getting better as the season Is growing older, and today will see a big exodus of hunters from the city to points along tha Lower Co lumbia River. H. Hjermstadt, J. R. Rice and Mr.. Taylor are going to hunt about Scap poose, where they have been having good luck. J. E. Culllson, who has Just returned from Southern California, Is going to try Sauvle's Island, along with George Lighthoff and M. Abrahams. Joe Stutt, H. H. Howland and C. B. Williams will spend the day at their preserve on the Wapato Island. A Bailey is going in that direction, but has no definite place In view. H. B. Slgler and Robert Gough will also be found on the island. The Day brothers have also bought tickets for the early train aown tne river. MONTHLY SCHOOLS PROBABLE Portland Gun Club Contemplates Some Action to Arouse Interest. In order that shooting may find more favor during the off months, the Port land Gun Club is seriously considering the holding of monthly shoots at the Kenton traps at which $100 will be put up as added money each time. The most lax time is of course dur ing the season when there is plenty of game to be found In the fields and on the lakes, and the men that go on these trips cannot be called In very easily with any Inducements such as .' the shoots. However, there are many who do neither and these are expected out if the monthly big shoot is estab lished. Interest In the breaking of clay birds is more noticeable this Fall than in former years as there has been a big squad out each Sunday.
