BE P11CHERS' BATTLE
"Smoky Joe" Wood andGroY
er Alexander Pitted Against
Each Other
By George B. Holmes.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
New York, Oct. 2. The coming
world's series promises to evolve itself
into a pitchers' buttle from the very
start. On the one side, Alexander, on
the other, five of the best pitchers in
the American league Joe Wood, Dutch
Leonard, George Foster, Erne Shore and
Babe Ruth.
There isn't much question but that
the Great Grover is a better chucker
than any of the five, but the trouble
is there isn't five of Grover. If there
was, there probably wouldn't be any
National league left.
. Bill Carrignn's prize quintet has won
in the neighborhood of 80 games for
him this year. Each will wind up the
season with a percentage hovering
around the .700 mark. The average
for the five will total over .700.
Against this crowd of winners, Irish
Pat Moran has to offer Alexandor.
Mayer, who has been a hard worker
this season not quite so successful as
the Boston flingcrs, but still good
enough to bo reckoned with; Dcmaree,
an in-and-outer who pitches world serieB
ball' one day and tall grass variety the
next; Rixcy, a .500 worker; Chalmers,
a veteran undoubtedly of worth, but
of doubtful success, and an Indian gent
by the name of Tincup who can scarcely
be counted on comprise the balance
of the staff. '
It is practically a certainty that
Moran will pitch Alexander . the first
game. Who to, shoot agninst him is
probably causing Bill Carrigan several
sleepless hours. "Smoky Joe" Wood,
the smoky one, if he's right, undoubt
edly would give the Great Grover a
battle from the word go, but Joe hasn't
been worked very hard of late. Some
said it was because Boston was hold
ing him in readiness for the big clash;
others contended that it was because
Wood was ailing that it was because
he never had fully recovered from the
illness that temporarily ended his me
teoric career after the 1912 world's
series. Probably Carrigan himself is
the only one who knows. Certainly,
fandom at large doesn't.
Granting that Alexander wins the
first game, and thereafter works every
other day, Boston's advantage in the
pitching department still is great. For
it is doubtful whether even Alexander,
as great as he is, can work every other
day and win his game. Not only would
the physicnl strain be terrific, but the
mental strain would be even greater.
In Leonard, Carrigan has one of the
best, if not the best left-handers in the
game.
The odds are against Grover, and if
he wins out against the Carrigan clan,
even the lustre of the great Eube Wad
dell will be shared by the Quaker hurl-er.

Shetland Derby Is A
Dead Heat -Other
Results of the Races
On a slow, muddy track yesterday's
races failed to draw the crowd that
jammed the grandstand on the prev
ious two days of the fair. Enthlusiasm
was not lacking, however, and the two
special races, the cowboy special race,
and the Shetland Derby, brought the
yelling crowd to its feet as the ponies
galloped under the wire. The first
race of the Shetland Derby was called
a dead heat by the judges and a sec
ond race was necessary as Ado, Firefly
and Happy could have been covered
with a single blanket as they flashed
past the judges stand.
The second heat was won by Firefly
with Ado second. The relay race was
the same close srtuggle of the previous
ilavs with Drumhellcr nosing out a
length ahead atthe finish.
The results follow:

Dolansky Had Friends
Among World Rulers
i ,
San Francisco, Oct. 2. After he had
bowled two women over, apparently
purposely, with his electric wheel chair
at the exposition today, a man giving
the name of J. C. Dolansky, was tak
en into custody for investigation.
"Why did you do Itf" ho was
asked.
"Oh, I only wanted to give them
an object lesson in safety first," said
Dolansky.
Officials then thought Dolansky
would bear further investigation.
They found ho filed a 7000 word
message to President Wilson und had
paid for it in ' order to advise the
executive not to allow the allied loan
bonds to be sold in this country.
Dolansky was quite chummy with
presidents, it appeared, ho was head
ing, he said, for China to have a chat
with Yuan Shi Kui, Chinese presi
dent. The authorities believe he is loose
from an institution in Wisconsin. He
apparently had plenty of money which
is thought was willed to him by his
father. . -

The killing of Warden Mint n bv the

There are thousands of men (it Sa

CLEAN SHOES SAVE
HARROUN'S PARTY
Maxwell Engineers Have Lucky Escape
From "Pinch" in Nevada
Not P. O. Bobbers.
Biggest Electric Car Factory
Is Located In Detroit
Snn Francisco, Oct. 2. Neither Kay
Harroun nor any member of his tour
ing party of Maxwell automobile engin
eers had set foot on the muddy high
way that led thorn one night into Wash
burn, Nevada. As a result, their Bhoes
were clean anil tho former world's race
champion and famous motor car de
signer as well as his pnrtv are still at
large and were enabled to finish their
transcontinental trip without being lm
pnnoneu ami pussioie rccipicum oi inou
violence.
Harroun mid his party reached Wash
burn toward evening of a long day s
run through the rain. They secured
rooms at tho only hotel in town n one-
story structure garaged the two Max
well cars they were using in the test
run, and went straight to bed where
they slept the sleep of the typical mo
tor tourist.
Twenty or thirty feet from the suite
occupied by the Maxwell party stnndH
the village postorficp, ami only a va
cant lot lies between. While the en
gineers slumbered, bamlits broke into
the nostotiice. blew open tne sine, ami
escaped with about "iOU in cash and
stamps.
Karlv in tho morning. Harroun was
awakened by a heavy pounding on his
door which, when opened, disclosed a
bnrlv. redwhislccrcil individual on
whoso hiii rested a young cannon and
on whose breast hung a brilliunt star,
proclaiming him the sheriff. Of iht
belted and starred minions of the law
followed the sheriff into the room
They demanded to see the Maxwell
man's bIiocs and these were produced
a pair of tan oxfords, clean and of ex
exceedingly small size. The sheriff
shook his 'head and passed on to simil
arly inspect the footwear of each other
member of the party.
All save Tom Orr, former race driver
and holder of the world's five-mile rec
ord, passed muster at a glani-e. Ono
mini stayed to watch Orr; the others
took his shoes and compared them
with footprints 1.1 the mud outside the
postoffice window. Orr's shoes were
large but not hob-nailed; also they were
clear of mud and actually dusty.
After a further inspection by the
sheriff, in which the baggage of the
party was subjected to detailed scrut
nig, tho Muxwnll men were allowed to
leave, congratulating themselves on
their lucky escape from tho only diffi
culty of any ki:id experienced on their
wlmlo trip.
Harroun was greatly pleased with the
result of his test trip in tlio new Max
wells, ncross two mountain ranges and
three deserts. Klaborato tents of tho
new cooling system were infallibly suc
cessful. The "new Maxwell clutch, run
ning in oil, proved itself a complete
success, greatly Increasing the comfort
of tho passengers and relieving the rear
nxlo of nil sudden strains.
"Wo met and overtook scores of cars
on tho tra-incoiitiucntal," said Hnr-
rout. "Most of them Wero getting
along all riuht. though at Kearney
ranch there were fivo hung up with
rear system trouble. Nono of these
wero Maxwells, however. Hear system
and clearance difficulties are the ones
which seem commonest in the rough
country. It is hard to believe thnt
there nro cars In which the flywheel or
the rear axle housing hang lower than
the front axle point of contact, but
there are many of them. Such cars
have their troubles ill the bad lo.lils
west of Halt Lake."
Return to Ranch.
Whilo Detroit is famed as the ce n,W
of the automobile industry, it Is perhaps
not so well known that for years this
city has held within its bounds the
largest factory in tho world devoted to
the manufacture of electric pleasure ve
hicles. This plan is thut of the Ander
son Klectrio Car company, builders of
the Detroit Klectrio.
In this plant covering II acres of
floor space are produced more thun one
third of all the standard electric pleas
ure cars built today.
Not only is this factory the largest of
its kind, but it is also the most com
.pjiki..gui)ipcd with .up-to-duta .nin
chineiy and devices for securing ac
curate aud rapid production. It com
pares favorably in equipment with any
gasoline car factory that can be named.
Large production has made it both
practical and wise to equip this factory
with the bcHt known facilities in auto
mobile building. From tho sturt the
Anderson Electric Car company were
firmly convinced that a car that is ac
tually manufactured is superior to a
car that is merely assembled. The de
velopment of the electric car industry
has proven this principle to be correct.
No doubt few people are aware of
the fact that most electric pleasure cars
today are assembled propositions. In
tlio en no of a small manufacturer there
is really no other alternative than to
assemble the curs because large invest
ment in machinery and factory equip
ment is of course unwise for the hiiiiiI!
quantity producer.
For years the makers of parts for
gasolino curs liuvo centered their ef
forts in the direction of building these
parts efficiently and as eheuply hs thft
manufacturer of the complete cur, and
to u lurgo extent they havo succeeded.
However, no such efforts havo been ex
pended in tho electric car field. That
is to say no parts makers have been
working to standardize parts for rlec
trie pleasure cars. The natural result
is that tho builder of an assembled elec
tric is forced by circumstances to pin
chase many parts that were designed
and built primarily for use in gasoline
cars.
