Hugh Fullerton Rates Meyers
as Better Than Carrigan
for AH Around Play.
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

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

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

always cheerfully regaining lost

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.

BOGUS TICKETS OUT
Counterfeiters May Victimize
Baseball Fans.
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.

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.

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.
