Battery And
Combats Meet
‘ Sunday A. M.
Things will be poppln’ at Amuse-
ment Park Sunday morning When
the Battery ' "' and combat train
nines meet for their second clash of
the season. These games are coming
late in the season. but never-the-less
are creating just as much fervor as
if they were Just opening the scan
apart. if the weather permits. the
game will start promptly at 10
o'clock. with the two teams putting
the best they have on the field.
Contrary to a previous article in
an earlier issue of the papers. the
Battery and the Combat will not use
and are not signing up anybody for
the game. but will be permitted to
use any member of their own com-
pany. regardless of whether he re-
cently enlisted or not. but he must
be a member of one of the outfits.
Both companies have excellent ma-
terial without depending upon out-
siders, which is well demonstrated
by the recent defeat of the Combat
train by the Battery team. When the
Battery defeated their rivals Urey
beat a team that has been playing
ball all summer in the Hour league
under the name of the Crescents.
and has been meeting some of the
best Junior teams in the city and
neighboring towns.
The Combat Train has agreed to
place a bet of 860 on their ability to
defeat the Battery. and the latter
has covered it‘ with a like sum.
This is over and above all side bets
taken up by meters for each side.
No admission is charged and the
publiods invited for a morning's
pleasure with plenty of action. The
more the merrier.

The aggregate attendance for five
games was 241.343 and a crowd of
61.000 today would be enough to
send the total beyond the World
Series record of 301.430 set by the
Giants and Yankees in their six-
game series orisza.
Gate receipts also are certain to
go over the million-dollar mark
with the sixth game. The total so
far is close, to $900,000 and another
3200.000 “gate" here. such as a ca-
pacity crowd would mean. would
send the figures to 81.100.000. with-
in striking distance of the record of
$1,152,854 made last fall when the
Pirates beat the Senators in seven
games. A seventh game in this series
would easily send the receipts
“over the top."

President John Heydler of the
National League praised the effort
of Little Bill Sherdel yesterday.
"It was as fine and gallant a
pitching performance as I ever saw
in 20 World Series." he said. “The

a defeat for us. but those who saw
it know that Sherdcl deserved a
shutout and they never will forget .
his pitching skill and courage."
Seldom have two outfits been any
more evenly matched in nearly all
departments with only a. break
here or there to sway the results.
