CARL MAYS MAY BE HOPE OF RED SOX IN BIG SERIES I Boston's Great Trio of Outfielders Superbas on Scene of Battle Star Underhand Twirler Considered Dark Horse by Su perbas Robbie Does Not Fear Sacrificing Ability of Opponent-Brooklyn Players Hopeful as First Game Starts. After an Uneventful Trip National League Champions in Happy Mood as They Journey to Boston Players Already Figuring How They Will Spend World's Series Receipts No Thought of Taking Loser's Share. By "RICE" I Special to The Eagic. time this appears on the street OSTON, October 7 By the the tirft game of the world's the Brooklyn Superbas 4k 1 '1 I of seven, or less, with the Boston Americans, better known as the Red Sox, at Braves Field, Boston. Because of that state of affairs, dope on the series is more or less al a discount.

From now on the fans will have performances, instead of speculations, to discuss, bitf, nevertheless, the speculations ore not without their merit. The main speculation with the Brooklyn player's and their dopesters concerns Carl Mays, the underhanded right-hander of the Red Sox staff. There was talk last night and this morning of Mays pitching today, but the better tip was that Ernie Shore, righthander, or Babe Ruth, southpaw, would work for Boston today. Mays will be remembered as the right-hander who worked against the Superbas in an exhibition game at Ebbets Field this spring. On that occasion delivery completely stood the Left to right Harry Hooper, Clarence Walker, Duffy Lewis.

With the Army of the Invasion, imewhere in Boston Town, October 7 No well regulated army ever started for the front without a perfectly proper came song, tieneral Charles Holiday Ebbets, Colonel Wilbert Rob ertson and the gallant Army of the invasioji is no exception to the rule. The lads from the land of the rubber plant, following behind the championship pennant of the National League, arrived here after an uneventful trip, fit as the proverbial fiddle, only one-half hour late last night That in itself is a matter of great moment. They had come from their quiet homes in Flathush on the well-known New Y'ork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, a line that is famous for wrecks and delays. Fortunately, there were none of the former yesterday.

The only man to step off the car who showed signs of an accident was Mack Wheat. He had one of his fingers nicely bound up in a perfectly dirty, little old last-year bandage. One of the news-hungry Boston cub reporters spotted Mr. Wheat and jumped at the conclusion that there had been an accident. "A great story," he muttered to himself, as he beat it to the phone, Gaetting the city editor on the wire, the cub said that one of the Brooklyn team had been hurt in an accident.

"Only one?" inquired the editor at the other end of the wire. "That's all I saw," said the cub. "That's no accident on that road," grumbled the editor. "Give it a line." At the best, there really waa no news in the incident. All good Brooklyn fans know that Wheat was hurt long before he ever stepped on the Boston "flyer." Marching Song of the Superbas.

But getting buck to the marching song of the great Superha clan. It was the work of a long-haired poet, who somehow or other boarded General Charles Holiday Ebbets" private car somewhere between New York and Boston. It was said that he swung on board when the train made its third stop to allow the conductor to chase a cow off the track. Be it as it may, the long-haired esthetic marched through the two cars, that carried the Brooklyn champions to the front, loudly singing: Ontvarit. Trolley Dodfferi, 01 i't your He Wl i bert Naturally the ballad won the hearts of the Superbas.

and the poet was asked to sit in a game of 10-cent ante that several of the champions had started to make them forget the long and trying Journey to this strangely inhospitable land. He was Invited to sit in. but being a man of a retiring disposition, the singer decided to watch the piay. It was some game. too.

judging by the interest, that all hands took in the sport. It shared honors with several games of twenty-one, pinochle and cribbage that were being played in various other quarters of the cars. Cards were not the only way the players passed the time In the seven-hour ride. More than fifty women were in the party and there was enough "fussing" to satisfy the best "lady killer" that ever doffed his cap to the roars of the maddened throng. A stranger stepping Into the cars that carried General Ehhets' army to Boston town never would have Imagined that the men composed a base-hall team on its way to take part in the most important series of the year.

Baseball was the last thing discussed. True, Wilbert Robinson was asked how he was going to play the game. His answer was unique. Or at least, so said the long-haired poet. Here it is; The party really looked like a good- Carpentier "Too Busy" To Meet Jack Dillon Aviation Headquarters, Behind the French Front in France, October 7 Georges Carpentier.

the heavyweight champion of Europe, was interviewed yesterday, by special permission, regarding an offer from American boxing promoters, to meet Jack Dillon in New York. "I already had refused 200,000 francs for two twenty-round contests in San Francisco, early in 1915," said Carpentier. "I am too busy on the French battle front to take up such things at the present time. When the war is over I will be glad to visit my friends in the United States." Regarding the report of a prospective match with Frank Moran, Car pentier said that he naa reeeivea no isn'u no hie hoxinc matches wil lie allow ed in Paris until after the end of hostilities.

Your Uncle Wilbert had a striped purple and white shirt that was a dream. Nor was Rube Marquard or Ed 1'fcfler far behind their leader. Of course, General Ebbets insisted upon being dignified. He wore his usual black cutaway coat called by Hie society reporters "an afternoon coat" until it just became too warm for comfort. Then the General shook the coat and ordered ice cream for all hands, including little Joe Monahan, the redheaded mascpt o.f the team.

To the dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan it must be a shock to think that there are people in tins world do not know Wheezer Dell. Still, when the dear old Superbas arrived at.

In the light of past events. it is possible lha, Mayer might have beaten Marquard at Kbbety Field last i Saturday, when Marquard beat Alex-j ander. Anothet underhandor who ha- the Superbas on the hip is Don Carlos Patrick Pagan, the Hispano-Hiber-nian of the Boston Braves.

When Pat was with the Superbas they could drive the ball back at him in batting practice and make him take to cover, but when he went to Boston and was sent against his old sidekicks In real, games, Pat's underhanded and side-arm shoots proved distressint-dy effective. All this is by way of pointing out that if Mays, who hUs not been mentioned largely in the advance dope, works against the Superbas in this series and beats them, the fans back home need not be greatly surprised. Concerning Relief Pitchers. Mays, if he docs not start early in the series, will almost certainly be used as a rescue committee if the jump a first choice and drive that choice from the His queer delivery, which is totally differ, nt from that, of other Pincers, makes Mays a wonder as a relief pitcher, and he has rionr yeoman service for the Ked Sox In I hat department. Rube Marquard is considered by Uncle Wilbert Kobins.m the best relief pitcher on the Brooklyn staff, because Kobe has speed and control, and also because in certain other details Kube is very much out of ordinary in his style.

Robinson's View of Sacrifices- I'ncle Wilbert Robinson is a student of the dope, and your uncle had noted the mania which possesses the entire American League for sacrificing, which mania was pointed out in this column on Wednesday. The amazing sacrifice statistics of the American League in general and the Red Sox in particular perturbed the stout nartv not a whit. Ouoth he todav: "I saw the figures on sacrificing and the- did make me want to Dull th" covers over my head. Sacrificing to'the extent of 2j times in a series of 134 games is carrying the thing too a- a- in the majors, but it is a foolish prop, osition t. ask.
