New York, Oct'.' 7. Another bunch
of enstoffs are getting their faces
ready for a loud, hearty laugh at the
casteroff.
Fred Merkle, Chief Meyers and Rube
Muiipiard are going to have the chuckle
of their lives when the world's series
is over and they have time to think
how they were kicked off a team they
had helped win several TMntionul lea

lamentable finish.
"Had to break up the old team,"
said McGraw when he traded Merkle
for Lew McCurty lust. August. Fred is
going to get some more of that world's
series dough when the Dodgers and Red
Sox get together.
Jack Cooml.B drew his uncoil. litionnl
releuso in 1915 when Connie Muck pick
ed up his trusty axe and began separ

but he's ready to take a pocketful this

dienrd, they claim in Brooklyn.
In Bustou Jack Barrv is getting to
hold the distinction this year of being
tho only player who ever took part in

Connie Muck back in 1915 and had a
split in the receipts of the lust big
games. He was a big factor iu winning

A Successful Hunt For
Sizes Up the Teams and
Points Out Strong Features
of Each
By H. C. Hamilton,
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Oct. 7. Triumphant
after their smashing drives down the
stretch of the pennant races in the two
major leagues, the Boston Red Sox and
the Brooklyn Dodgers are resting to
day, taking a final breath before the
opening game of the world's series
Saturday in Boston.
Tearing their way through every
obstacle, fighting off attack after at
tach!, holding up their heads when it
seemed that victory could not bo won,
these tenms have proved their nerve,
their unflinching hearts. They go into
what promises to be one of the most
interesting series ever played between
clubs of the American and National
! leagues after the tightest race since
the never forgotten finish in 190S
when tho Cubs and Giants fought down
to the last day.
The driving finish, the bitter clashes

series with the admiration and interest
of a nation behind them. Wherever
there are baseball fans there will be
eager watching for tho returns of the
crowning event of a season.
Red Sox Favorites.
The Red Sox will go into the series
favored to win. Man for man, the
team representing the American league
stands out us a better iirgniii.utioii
than its National league rival.
This year will see no change from
last in thnt interest will center in the
pitching stuffs of the two clubs.
The Dodgers have a powerful at
tack. The Red Sox have a wonderful
defense, backed up by a pitching stuff
Hint has pulled the club tojhe top of
the league every time when it seemed
they might alter.
It is hard to milk a comparison of
the nitching staffs, for American
league pitching has been conceded to
be stronger thiiii (he National brand
for several years. Also' it is held that
American league pitchers have to face
heavier butting than their brothers in
tho Tenor circuit. In the past Amer
ican league hurlers have borne up well
under heavy assaults from the older
organization nnd it seems reasonable
to believe they will do so this year.
Brooklyn's Hurlors.
The Brooklyn hurlers have done re
markably well. They have hud n pow
erful scorini: machine to help them nut,
but there lnu'e been times, us there are
in the . life of every baseball cluti,
where the issue depended upon tight
pitching and they rose to the oc
casion. It. will be up to Shore, Ruth, Leon

Salem Y. M C. A. Gets First
Class Man to Direct Gym
nasium Work
Wrestling is promised ns one of the
big features of athletics at the Snlein
V. M. (.'. A. for the coining winter sen
son. This department, of physical cul
ture will be under the direction of O.
E Frnnzke, who has carried off State,
Northwest, and nntionnl wrestling
honors, and who is now employed with
E. T. Burnes' Cash Store. Wrestling
appears to be growing iu importance
among the schools and Y. M. C. A.
directors nnd has been considered for
the Salem high school.
Mr. Fmir.ke, who -has been interest
ed iu this form of athletics from the
time he was a boy nnd who is one
of a crop of champions who developed
several years ago, believes that every
voung man should educate himself
physically as well ns mentally and is
of the opinion that it is a means to
wonderful health nnd protection dur
iug the whole life. Talk wrestling to
Frnnzke aud the' warm spot in his
heart is touched. He him specialized
on this phase of athletics so that he
really is one of the top-nntchers, and
can talk with authority, which makes
it as interesting ns a pheasant dinner
with u II the trimmings.
In his' school duys, he was keenly in
forested in font-ball, basket ball, base
I ball, jumping, foot ruciiig, volley nnd
ibiff ball, boxing, Lncrosse, and wrest
j ling, but of all these wrestling won his
heart. Ho practically led the athletic
work of his school nnd defeated all
j who came his way. As he grew older
I ihe science of the giimo began to in
terest him more and monvnnd he went
in with other bids of his nge nnd they
built n private gymnasium.
Boxing and wrestling were featured
and Fran.ke soon became the star of
the vicinity. Shortly utter a wrestling
enmpnign began out of it came some of
the best wrestlers the world has pro
duced. Among them were Farmer
Burns, one of ' the World's -champion
and greatest wrestlers thnt ever livfd
at l.")S pounds, Dim McLcid, McMillan,
the Canadian champion, rrniiK (kiicii,
low world's champion and lnnny
others who have won fiune iu the ring
and on the unit .
During this time Frnnzke, who wit
nessed these mutches nnd who worked
in the training iunrters, received n
splendid physical education and train
ing. His career started when he enmo
to Portland and joined the .Multnomah
Athletic, club, taking instruction from
Joe Aetna nnd Eddie O'l'onuol, who
were instructors iu wrestling.
"I learned more and worked harder
under O'Conncl than ever before.
said Frnnzke todav, 'and became
popular alter defentiug some of the
toughest of my teiim inntes. I was
later sent inlo uctual competition
ii gainst men from Vancouver, H. .
Sent tie. Si.oknue. Sun Francisco, Los
Angeles, and smaller places and cap
tilled u number of chutnpi'inships in
the light class at LI1 pounds.'
In 1909 he wns chunipion of Oregon
in 1910 Pacific Const champion, in 1911
l'niii.il Sli.les chami.ion. uud ill 1912
Northwest champion. He has only
been defeated once, nnd that was when
he was rushed ill to lake another's
plnee. and was out of condition.
The Y. M. C. A. is suid to be ex
tremely fortunate in securing Mr
Frnnzke to teach the wrestling classes
which will be free to the association
members.
Expert Tells of Teams and
Players All Eyes Turned
TQward Boston Today
By H. O. Hamilton
(United Press stuff corresH)inlent)
Boston, Muss., Oct. 7. While an en
tire nation waited with expectnut ear,
thu Brooklyn Dodgers nnd Boston Red
Sox stood-poised today for a rush which
will bring them into a collision whoso
resounding smack 'will be heiird from
Maine to California.
Under ideal weather conditions nu.l
with all indications pointing to a crowd
iif 40,9110 or more, the wiuiners of the
Nntionnl and Americun league pennants
will meet in the irst game of the
world's series on Braves Field at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
Never iu baseball history have two
championship tennis met in the base
bull clussic after such wild scrambles
for. the honors they have gained. Not
until Tuesdny of this week were the
Dodgers sure they would be here today.
Now that -they have looked about and
established beyond a doubt that tlnjy
are on the verge of the big razoo .if
the year, they linvc determined to put
up one awful fight.
Among HostoH Inns only confideeee
is to be found. It's of the cockey, lilt-
me-if you dare sort. The city' of inl.d
lect is about to clash with the eitv of
rubber plants, perninliulntois nu.l

see where growing, rubber plants and
ashing goenrts contribute anything
toward producing a world's chniiipion-

atmosphere that enables you to figurn
out mat hemuticnlly why a bull scout

Opposed to the stnr soiilhpnw pn.li-

llnbe Huth and Curl Mays have been
given ihe iioiuiiintii.il by ninny Huston

A Matter of Pitchers
It's mostly a mutter of pitchers,"
is ihe constant cry heard in the .iniii-
I. hotel lobbies when today's gaum
and the series is discussed.
Carl Mavs is considered to have nn
excellent chance ot staruug ngunm
the Dodgers. He is an uii.lerhan.l Inn t-
er, something the Nun mill does not
