NEW YOKK, Sept. 30. The 1922
battle for the so-called world's
championship In baseball will start
on the field that was the scene of
the National league's triumph over
the younger league in the first
world's series played. It will be on
almost the identical diamond on
which the New York Giants and
Philadelphia Athletics met In 1905.
The Giant pitcher who faces the
American league title-holders of
1922 October 4 will stand almost
in the exact spot where the .mighty
Matty stood when his famous fade
aways and the rest of the then
youthful repertoire surprised the
baseball world and beat the fa
vored Athletics. The fact that the
baselines and pitchers' box have
shifted a trifle since Mathewson's
day has never been known before
When the Polo grounds were cor
rected in measurements sllghyalter
ations had to be made.
When the diamonds were first
laid 'on most major league parks the
services of a civil engineer were not
called Into requisition and the
simple system of cords used by the
groundkeepers did not conduce to
strict accuracy.
Series Warned Incorrectly
It has been the custom of some
to refer to the post-season series
which were played prior to 1905
'as world's series, but they were not.
They were merely post season ex
hibition games arranged -by club
owners and managers and without a
central board of authority to regu
late them.
The first game for a real world
series was played at Philadelphia,
October 9, 1905, between the Phila
delphia Americans, champions of
their league, and the New York Na
tionals, who had won their cham
pionship with ease. The game was
won by New York, 3 to 0, and the
winning pitcher was Mathewson.
For the first game between New
York and Philadelphia In 1905 the
Athletics were top-heavy favorites
in their own city and In most of
the major circuits. There" was a
disposition to believe that the
American league was stronger than
the National and there were few
who were good enough students of
baseball to realize that the Giants
were a powerful combination in ttie
flejd and that they possessed the
greatest pitcher of baseball In
Mathewson.
Outcome Is Shock.
l ne outcome oi ms same siunneu
the backers of the Athletics, but
they rallied bravely and went to
New York in force on the following
day. The Athletics won, 3 to 0,
and the Philadelphia rooters re
turned home craxy with triumph.
The third game was played at
Philadelphia, and the Athlefcs were
routed, 9 to 0. The difference be
tween the teams was so marked
that the Athletic rooters were dazed
after the game was over and be
fore It was. finished some of them
had turned against their team. That
is common in baseball.
The next game was played at New
York and was the most desperately
fought of the series. The Philadel
phia contingent was present with
tin horns and rattles, but not in
such numbers as It had been and
with never a chance to yowl over
a score because the Athletics were
turned back 1 to 0.
Mathewson "Wins Again.
The final game was played Sat
urday October 14. It was won by
New York with Mathewson pitch
ing, 2 to 0, and the youngster who
was then breaking Into the game as
a player of world-wide reputation
wherever baseball was known, com
pleted his feat of shutting his rivals
i out in three games of the first
world series which baseball had en
joyed. There were very few Phila
delphians present for the last game.
The outcome of the series re-established
the fame of the National
league. The older organization hadM
suffered a little in the brush with
its rival and there had been a win
ter of leering and fun poking on the
part of the American league parti
sans because the Giants had refused
to play in 1904 with Boston. It
made little difference to the Ameri
can league enthusiasts that the
owner of the Giants might think
he had abundant reason for declin
ing the series. The only thing they
saw was that the Giants had re
fused to play and were therefore
afraid. Being afraid they must be
of minor caliber. '
Victory Silences Fans.
The victory of New York and the
fact that Philadelphia did not make
a run in the four games played was
such an astounding blow to the
vaunted batting ability of the
American league players that the
partisans of the organization be
came mute. They had no ground
on which to make a claim for
strength and even in Philadelphia
they consoled themselves that
Mathewson had been born in Penn
sylvania. In the one game which the Giants
lost the New Yorkers failed to
score. For that matter, every game
was a no-score game of the losers,
which record still surpasses all
other world's series in a display of
pitching strength.
The Npmi York Giants won the
world series of 1921 after angling
for it many times since 1905. At
tention has-been called to the fact
that the Giants, a&ter a lapse of 17
years from the date on which they
won the first "world series with the
stroojjest pitching staff any Na
tional league club has had In such
a series, are preparing to enter
that of this year with the weakest
pitching Nstaff that any team has
had. so far as can be determined by
the presumable, ability of the play
ers prior to the actual games on the
field.
Freak Bets Are Made. -
That has brought about freak
bet. A wager has been laid that
none of the New York pitchers,
with the exception of Nehf, will
pitch a full nine-inning game.
A wager also has been made that
Scott, who was released outright by
Cincinnati early in the year because
his arm was reported to be useless,
will be the winning pitcher for the
Giants this year because of the
fact that the world series always
develops the unexpected.

COM TEAM IN DOUBT
COACHES DISSATISFIED WITH
BACK FIELD AXD LINE.
Constant Changes Made in Lineup
i
in Practice for Contest
With Gonzaga.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman, Sept. 30. (Special.) Just
who will compose the Cougar back-
field and line when the team opens
its season two weeks hence in Spo
kane against Gonzaga is Impossible
to predict at present because of the
changes being made almosX daily In
the varsity. The last two scrim
mages brought to light that the
coaches were not satisfied with the
forward defense 'or with he back
field. A regular ' programme of
scrimmages, unusual to Coach
Welch's system of coaching, has
been outlined in an effort to make
players of green material from
which the Cougar team must be
Shape.
Signal practice with the backfield
and centers working together for
precision of play under Coach "Welch
and with the lino working as a sep
arate unit for ca-ordination with the
backfield on offense and defense un
der Line Coach Applequist has filled
the last two nights of practice.
Lack of team play was indicated
in Thursday's practice, but Coach
Welch hopes to drill his green back
field and linemen by w.orking them
separately until they become more
familiar with the rudiments of the
game.
Hales at left half has replaced
Alexander at right half. Zaepfel, the
remaining man of last year's back
field, bas been shifted to left half.
Bray, Cook, Griffith, Trygvil and
Jack Davis showed above expecta
tions In recent scrimmages. With
the improvement of these men, cou
pled with the performances of
Hickey,' Slater, Hales and Wheeler,
Welch says the selection of the first
string men will not be determined
until future scrimmages help solve
the problem.

NEW GOLF CHAMPION IS COLLEGE YOUTH OF TWENTY, WHO
ST 13 1 7 Urn yM
SKETCHES BY BOB EDGRE.V
SWEETSER IS NEVER TWICE
DEFEATED BY SAME GOLFER
American Amateur Golf Champion
Old Man's
BT ROBERT EDGREN.
JESSE SWEETSER. who won the
American amateur golf cham
pionship, has spiked the theory
that golf is "an old man's game."
Sweetser, a Tale student. Is only 20.
Moreover, In the semi-final and
final matches at Brookline Chick
Evans was the "old man" at 33.
Of the others in the wind-up
games, Ruddy. Knepper of Princeton
and Sioux City was only 20. Bobbie
Jones, ' who has just finished his
course in Georgia Tech and goes to
Harvard thlsyear for a post-graduate
course, is also 20.
Three college men. each 20 years
old. In-the semi-finals and final!
Golf looka like a college man's
sport.
Jesse Sweetser Is one of the
greatest golfers that ever won a
championship, amateur or profes
sional. He is a natural athlete. He
was born in Louisville, Ky., where
they raise great horses and fine
men. His present home Is in Bronx
ville. New Tork city. Jesse is six
feet tall, weighs loo pounds and is
of a clean-cut athletic build. He
walks with a springy stride and
never tires.
In his first year at Yale he went
out for the track team and became
a fast quarter-mi'er. But Yale had
a lot of good 440-men that year and
Sweetser's friends, who knew he had
a knack for golf, persuaded him to
give up the track for the links. He
played little golf while he was run
ning, but when he took up the game
in earnest in his second year he
quickly developed form thai put him
on the team. He won the Inter
collegiate championship.
He Stars With Mashle.
Sweetser didn't learn his golfing
style from professional coaches. He
studied it out himself and developed
It by constant practice.
The last time New York had a
national champion was in 1913,
when, Jerry Travers won the title.
Sweetser entered the national at
Pittsburg In '19 and failed to qual
ify in one stroke. In 1920 he was
defeated in the third round by Fred
Wright of Boston. In 1921 at St.
Louis Jesse lost in the second round
to Chick Evans, one down at the
18th hole. By a turn of luck it was
Chick Evans he defeated this year
in the final match at Brookline. He
won the metropolitan championship
last year at Lakewood.
Sweetser never has been beaten
twice by the same man. Like Benny
Leonard, the lightweight boxing
champion, he always knows how to
outplay his rival when they meet
again. Evans, Jones and Ouimet
have beaten him in the past, but all
lost to him In the next match.
His athletic build enables him to
drive a very long ball without ef
fort. In the championship match
he outdrove Chick Evans by an
average of 15 yards, and probably
could have incre ,sed that margin
but for the fact that Brookline is
not a long course and long driving
isn't essential.
His best stroke is a high mashle.
Like J. H. Taylor, he believes that
"there are no bunkers in the air."
His hiffh mashle shots drop straight
down and they stick even on the
hardest and smoothest greens. He
Is extremely accurate with all
mashle shots, long or short, and
always plays for the pin just the
way a marksman shoots for the
middle of the bullseye. In the
championships he holed out three
mashie approaches. The longest
was about 90 yards.
MaaT Course Records Made
In the last two years Sweetser has
shown his remarkable steadiness by
breaking many course records
around New York. Even in the
championships at Brookline, where
scores of the world's most famous
golfers have played for years, he
broke the cou-se record, scoring at
9 after Guilford had broken the
record with a TO in the same tour
nament. No golfer ever defeated as many
famous players in successive
matches ts Sweetser did at Brook
line. ' On consecutive days he beat
Willie Hunter. English amateur
champion in 1921; Jassa Guilford,
OF JESSE SWEETSER, AMERICAS
Spike Theory That "Golf Is an
Game."
American champion In 1921; Bobbie
Jones, who is regarded by many as
the finest amateur player in the
world, and Chicly Evans, holder of
many titles.
He beat Bobbie Jones eight down
and seven to play the worst lick
ing Jones ever had. And Jones was
playing1 great golf all the way.
For the second nine in the morning
and the first nine in the afternoon
Jones had a medal of 70 shots, yet
of the 29 holes played Jones won
only two. Sweetser won 10 and the
rest were halved.
It was In the first round against
Jones, at the second hole, that
Sweetser dropped his 90-yard
mashie into the cup. In the first
nineholes Sweetser won six. Then,
coming: in, Jones rallied and played
me nine in a stroKes a unaer par
and with all that magnificent
play was able to win only one hole
and halve eight.
When Jesse Sweetser met Chick
Evans, the veteran, in the final
match, the dope around Boston was
that the Yale boy had "shot his
head off in the earlier matches
and was swre to break down and
prove an easy victim for Chick.
Evans had won the title twice and
had been in the semi-finals nine
times. Against this record Sweet
ser's performances were those of a
novice.
HU Great Shot at Brookline.
Tet the youngster set such a pace
that Evans never took the lead from
start to finish, and after leaving the
first tee was even only once at
the 11th hole in the morning round.
Sweetser outdrove Evans stead
ily, but the greatest surprise of the
day was the way he dropped his
mashle approaches nearer to the
pin, although Evans is regarded as
unequaied in Iron play.
At the 13 th, hole in the afternoon
Evans lay about 170 yards from the
green, and Sweetser 10 yards nearer
after the drive. Evans placed a
spoon shot within eight yards of ths
pin and smilingly turned to Sweet
ser, thinking the hole safely won.
Sweetser .shot a high mashle and
dropped his ball three feet nearer
than Chick's.
In putting the two were about
equal, except that Sweetser holed
his long putts when he needed them
most. Starting the afternoon round
the gallery expected to see Evans
overcome Jesse's lead. At the first
nole Sweetser twice shot into the
rough, but shot his third to the
green 12 feet from the pin. Evan
third was only two feet from tfte
cup. And Sweetser holed his putt.
"It wasn't any use shooting
against a bird who can recover
after two bad shots and halve holes
in par when I've got 'em won,"
Evans said later. m
Sweetser is. modest. When the
championship was won he told
friends he was more surprised than
anyone else.- He went to Brookline
hoping to have some good sport
and make a fair showing, but hadn't
dreamed of winning the title.
The figures of the championship
show the astonishing game Sweet
ser played. He was down only once
in all his matches. That was when
Guilford, longest driver and former
champion, had a two-hole lead
early in their match.
Regntlar Poker Face.
Fighting ability is a large part
of the new champion's game. H
likes to play along as fast as pos
sible. No matter how his shots go
he shows no feeling. He has no
mannerisms that show nervousness
like other .golfers. In the tightest
pinches his face has no more ex
pression than a Chniaman's.
Last winter Jesse left Yale by
special permission to go into busi
ness, but he has gone back to finish
his course. College studies coming
first, he will play little more golfl
this season. He didn t enter the
Metropolitan, and he is expected to
play in only two tournaments, the
Victory cup and the Lesley inter
city matches between New rbrk
Boston.
When he finishes college, he says,
he intends to en into hankintr.-a.nd
from that tme on probably will not
give very much time to the game.
Even at that he'll probably listen if
Uncle Sam needs him for. an inter
national match.

CHICAGO REVIVES R C ! N G
15,000 JAM GRANDSTANDS TO
SEE EXHIBITION.
Excitement of Betting King Gone
and Only Gambling Is Done
, in Quiet Manner.
CHICAGO. Sept. 30. (By the As
sociated PressL) The eport of kings,
after an 18-year bllht in Illinois,
was revrved here today when 15,000
spectators jammed the historic Haw
thorne track for the opening of the
12-day "betless' meeting under the
auspices of the Illinois Jockey club.
While remnants of the old guard
were present, the famous and fa
miliar figures of the turf in the year
of its glory in Chicago were missing.
A new generation was on hand. The
grandstand held many women, young
and old. Racing in the raw. divested
of the color and pageantry of two
decades ago, was on the programme,
The excitement of the betting ring.
Kthe .search for a shade in the offer
ings of the bookmakers and the
thrill of the big wagers made by fol
lowers of the turf of 20 years ago
.were gone. Betting was done quietly.
There were no tickets, but handbook
men attempted to take oral wagers
in the nod-and-wink manner.
The betting ring today was a place
for secret conferences. The huge
shed of the old ring was crowded
between races, but the widely-advertised
presence of detectives from the
state's attorney's office put a damper
on the proceedings. The wager tak
ers were made even more ohy when
two alleged bookmakers were ar
rested and Frank Matousek, assist
ant state's attorney, added to the
quietness in the ring by announcing
that if gambling was discovered
everyone connected with the races,
including the officials, would be
prosecuted.
As for the races there were many
entries, good, bad and indifferent,
and the horses raced around the
course in a fas hi oil that pleased the
spectators.
The feature of the day was the ef
fort of Exterminator, Willis Sharpe
Kilmer's great 7-year-old bay geld
ing, to break the course record of
2:04 3-5, established by Dodge, a 3-year-old.
Exterminator, unpaced,
went the mile and a quarter in 2:10.

tional league race, battled to a 10
inning tie at 7 to 7 this afternoon,
the game being called on account of
darkness. The batting of Russell
and Roush featured, each getting
four hits. Markie, who started the
seventh inning for the Reds, was
put out of the game before he had

COLUMBIA PREP IS READY
ST. HELENS HIGH IS TO BE
MET SATURDAY.
Oregon Aggie Hook Eleven Slated
for Game at Corvallls One
Week Later.
Columbia prep school will open
its football season Saturday against
St. Helens high on the Columbia
university field. On the Saturday
following Columbia will play the
Oregon Aggie rooks at Corvallls.
The game with the rooks should be
a real test or the preppera as the
Aggies usually have a heavy fresh
man team composed of ex-high
school stars.
Athletic Manager Cava n ugh has
arranged a game with Albany col
lege at Albany for Friday, Octo
ber 27. The Dalles or Astoria high
schools will oppose Columbia on
November 4. and the preppers will
clash with the University of Oregon
freshmen on Multnomah field No
vember 10.
Columbia will play Aberdeen high
at Aberdeen, Wash., November 18,
ami a return gair a with Albany
college in Fortlani November 25.
Although the preppers have a game
scheduled with Everett. Wash., high
at Everett on Thanksgiving day,
Everett seems to be trying to cancel
the game. Coach Smith of Columbia
said, and Columbia may take on
Walla Walla at Walla Walla.
Several new men who have had
previous football experience turned
out for practice last week. Jackson
and Allen, ex-Pocatello, Idaho, high
school players, are making a strong
bid for berths in the back f4 eld.
Jackson is a good punter and drop
kicker and may do all the punting
for Columbia.
Allen and Ray Cudahy, last year
veterans, will call signals. Hicks,
star lineman of the 1921 team and
Cooley. ex-Burns- high football
player, will play guards, with Hag
gerty as first sub. Oeder, 1920
i letterman, and Kansavage of last
1 year's sijtiad, will play tackles. The
j wing positions will be handled by
Poherty, letterman, and Curran, ex
Boise, Idaho, high school player.
Logan and Durlap have improved
much over their playing of a year
ago and may win regular places.
Wesley Schulmerlch, captain-elect,
is playing half and looks better than
ever. Johnson and Collins will
round out the backfield. Columbia
will hold its first scrimmage prac
tice Tuesday against Commerce
high. Wednesday it will line up
against Franklin high in another
practice game. Columbia will hold
only light workouts Thursday and
Friday so as to be in shape for th
Saturday game.
SALEM PUCES THRILLING
BAROXDALE W INS FREE-FOn-
ALL in straight heats.
Hal Fitzsimmons, Also Parker
Entry, Wins 2:24 Event and
Receives Great Ovation.
SALEM, Or.. 'Sept. 20. (Special.)
Racing events on Lone Oak track
today were said to be amonfr th
beet ever staged in the northwest.
Barondale, who has lost but one
race In three years, and who Is
owned by George L. Parker of
Portland, won the free-for-all pace
In straight heats, although after
the first heat, while being taken to
the stable. Barondale stumbled and
cut a small artery In one of his
front legs, necessitating bandages.
Hal Fitsaimmons, also a Parker
entry, took the 2:24 pace in straight
heats. He got an ovation from the
grandstand in the second heat when
after breaking about half way
round the oval h recovered and
came in shead of six entries who
passed him when he broke.

SCHROEDER FINE PITCHER
fOonllnoed From Tlret Pare 1
slightest hint of such a thing ever
has been charged.
Did he commit the high crime of
lese majeste by .defying Judge Lan
dis, the czar of baseball? No, ft
was not that. Judge Landis wn
not even In baseball when Shroedsr
was declared ineligible.
Well, then, what did he doT What
awful offen. dsd he cammitT What

. . . -Phroeder.
pitching lor rortland In
the spring of I'JIO, r"t Into
put, with Walter JJcCredte. then
manager. Or, rath.r. thero was ns
open dispute, but he and McCredie
did not get alone well together.
Shroeder says there was never any
hard talk between them. But Mc
Credie didn't like him and waan t
pitching him. So one day at San
Francisco, after he had aat on th.
bench for a long time without worU
Ing and waa fi-ellng sore and dis
couraged, he asked lUOedle for per
mission to play one game lor mi
Chowchllla. Cal., eluta. He had ben
offered lloO and transportation fof
working one game.
His version of It Is that MrCredi.
said to him: "Go ahead and go."
So he went.
Instead of returning Immediately
to the club, which had gone to lx
Angeles for a series, he remained
In Chowchllla for a, week or more
He didn't report back to the Port
land club until it had returned to
Portland. If he wbb at fault, that
was the extent of his offense slay
ing away from his ball team for a
week or so at worst, something re
quiring only local discipline.
When he did report he says he
wss told ha wasn't wsnted on h.
team. Next thing w. knew ha had
been suspended, notice of his aua
penslon had been forwarded to J.
In Karrell, aecretsry of the National
Association of Professional Base
ball leavue, and he waa automatic
ally blacklisted for five long years.
Ills period of Ineligibility doea not
expire until 19:5.
Even granting that Shroeder very
poaslhly wss at fault, that he
shouldn't have remained away from
lh club as ha did. that he may have
felt grouchy at having been kept
on the bench when he wanted to
pitch granting all that. Isn't a five
year blacklisting a penalty out of
all proportion for ao relatively
trivial an offense? t
...
We douht If Walter McCredie or
Judge McCredie ever intended that
Shroeder should be blsrkllsted for
five years. They wanted to disci
pline him, all right, but probablv
didn't expect It to go as far as It
did. But after they once listed his
suspension, the blacklisting became
automatic. No effort to reopen the
case traa had the slightest effect.
Judite Landis personally inter
vened in the case of Harris, a major
league ball player, because of his
war record, and had him reinstated
after he had been blacklisted. Yet
Harris had Jumped a contract
he could play outl.tw baseball.
Schroeder never did either. More,
over, Harris didn't hnve Irslf the
war record Shroeder did.
Orcanlxcd bnseball. which sells
and trade bail playera as if they
were horses. ofUn without giving
them half the consideration a humane-horse
trader will give hi.
horse. Is taking a lot on Maelf to
throw Shroeder out of baseball for
so small an offense. Even were his
crime more than Just a technical
violation, which is all It is. a man
who went through five major en
gagements irj France Is entitled to s
little constderstlon.
Lefty Shroeder. ball player, never
stopped to Inquire whether thai
German pilot wss eligible or In
eligible. Her shot him down. H
helped nave orssnlsed baseball,
which now klcka him out. .
e .
Shroeder Is really a great pitcher
Hurling for the Standard Oil team
In one ot the hush leagues here
abouts he pitched one no-hit game,
several one-hit games, snd any
number of three, four, five and slx
hlt combats.
Pitching last Sunday for Fenne'a
all-stars against Nlcolal on the
Vaughn street grounds, he gave the
fans an exhibition of the same cool
nerve that enshied him to shoot
down the t.erman airplane.
With three Nlcolal players on
bases from an error, a scratch hit
and a walk and none out, Shroeder
called his Infield together.
"You won't need any outfielders. "
he aald. "They on lie down In the
grass If they want to. These fellow,
will never score."
Whereupon that great left arm
cut loose and the next three hatters
whiffed on strikes.
That's Lefty Shroeder. If you go
out today you mav see him pull
some more of the same In snotw.r
doublehc-ader at the ball park.
...
Shroeder is 27 now. By the tlm.
his Ineligibility is up be will be 3
That will make him pretty old to he
