Del Gainer~+substitute player of the Boston Red Sox. with a perfect mark of 1,000 was the batting lead- ! er in the world's series, according to official averages issued. Gainer was | at bat once, and compelled a hit on | that occasion which practically won a game for the victors. The real leader, however, is out- fielder Lewis of the Sox, who played in all the games, and wound up with an average at the bat of .353. Close behind him is Harry Hooper, always formidable in a world's series; who batted for .333. Shorten, who came up from Providence in the Interna- tional Teague, batted for the high mark of .571 in two games, and Man- ager Carrigan, taking part in only one contest, whaled the pill for .666. The disappointment of the series, from a Brooklyn standpoint, was the poor batting shown by Jake Daubert, captain of the Dodgers, and a lead- ing sticker in the National League. Daubert hit in the big series for only 176. Casey Stengfiel was the best hitter for the leser, playing in four games and batting for .364. John- stone hit for .333, the same figure assacquired by the véteran pitcher Jack Coombs in his brief appear- ance; Excellent on Defence. The splendid defensive play of the entire Boston team also counted in the victory. But six errors were made in the entire series by the. Bos- ton club, which bespeaks a world of power and poise. And few of these errors proved costly. On the other hand Brooklyn made fourteen errors that had the mis- fortune to make them when they did the most harm, Olson and Cutshaw practically handed Boston the first game and Cutshaw himself, donated Monday's contest when he fumbled Ruth's hit momentarily in. the third inning and permitted Everett Scott to score from third. If Cutshaw had thrown Scott out at the plate Brook- lyn would have shut the Red Sox out in nine innings, instead of losing the game "at the end of fourteen innings of hectic play. OTTAWA SIGNS NIGHBOR, The First Player to Put His Name to a Contract. The Ottawa Hockey Club has signed its first player. He is Frank Nighbor, the star centre man, whose scoring kept the Senators up in the race for the greater part of last sea- son. Nighbor sent his contract from his home in Pembroke to Ted Dey, who is in charge of the Ottawa club's affairs for the coming season. Nigh- bor received a cut, but signed with- out making any kick, evidently ap- preciating the conditions. It is un- derstood that negotiations with the other players will be opened in the course of a few days by Mr. Dey. He says he will have a winning team. Harvey Pulford states that he would accept the presidency of the National Hockey Association, but on- ly under one condition, viz., that the choice be unanimous. He is not seek- ing the berth, but would accept fit if he thought by so doing he could help the game. He believes, however, that Frank Calder would be a first-class man, particularly in view of the fact that his headquarters are at Mont- real, where the bulk of the N. H. A. business must be transacted. Boston kept up its proud record of 'never having lost a world's series championship. IN "NO MAN'S LAND" LIES Famous French Rugby International Player. The /fathous French Tnternational Rugby player, F. Burgun, of the Rac- ing Club de France, has just been killed under dramatic circumstances. An airman of great repute--he had already destroyed four German ma- chines--Burgun some days ago took part in an air fight in the region of | Verdun. During the duel his motor| suddenly stopped and he found him-| self compelled to abandon the strug-| gle. The German aviator did not ap-| pear at all disappointed, and quickly flew away. Burgun was planing to- wards his aerodtome when a "Fok- ker" machine. darted - out -of the clouds and soared down on him from behind. Burgun, taken by surprise, tell on easy prey to the German and crashed down between the French and German lines. The German fol- lowed, and from 4 height of a few yards riddled Burgun with his ma- erine gun, Poor Burgum . . . . his body still lies in "no man's land." Succesively four gallant "poilus" at- , | ago, 1s the champion | the New York Giants. tempted to regain the brave airman's body, but each in turn was either killed or wounded. Burgun was a lieutenant. He had been awarded the Legion of Honor and Croix de Guerre. In an artillery regiment at the outbreak of hostili- ties he volunteered for the Flying Corps last year, "pagsing his mili- tary brevet' in the hort space of | three weeks. ~ ° | NO FAULT OF THEIR OW A headquarters staff officer said to the Whig on Monday: "If you . make mention of officers who have been on the strength of battalions and who are not proceeding overseas with their units, you should make it. clear that this is due entirely to the unit concerned being below the establishment, and a percentage of officers had to be left behind as (g_ consequence. Their re- #+ maining in Canada is not due to 4 any fault of their own." THE SPIRIT OF SPORT Gives Superiority to Soldiers on the Battlefield. An officer of the Royal Flying Corps, giioted by the Londo Daily News, gives a fine testimonial to the value of sport in fitting boys for war. Said the officer: Man for man we undoubtely are masters of the air on the west front. This fact I attribute to the mental and physical training we give our boys in England. The healthy German boy and the healthy English boy do not do the same things. The German boy does gym- nastics under word of command. The English boy puts on running "shorts" and goes for miles across open coun- try. Our school system and our games Tend to make us superior in things like fighting in the air. We have more freedom in this country, physically as well as politically. "We develop spirit, orginality, in- itiative, and nerve, Our youngest pilots have done 'wonderfully well. They learn quickly, are intensely keen, have great alertness of mind, act instinctively, We get our best pilots from the class of man that fol- follows hounds well over stiffish country, that can sail a boat close to the wind, that has a fondness for ad- venture and for speed, and that has the sort of will po which counts in rowing races n long distance running.'

"Lew" McCarthy, the New York Giant catcher, shared in the Brook- lyn club's share of the world's base- ball money without even putting on a uniform.

Though Frank Nighbor has not actually signed he has sent word to "Ted" Dey that the Ottawa terms are agreeable. Neighbor realized the existing conditions and gracefully ac- cepted a reduction. He is in fine fettle and should have the' best sea- son of his career in the N.H.A, If Ottawa could land Cy Denenny they would have a brilliznt forward line. Denenay, Gerard and Nigh- bor would form a trio that would be hard to beat. Cy led the To- rontos in soring last season and was well up along the leaders, though on a tail end team. i ; Angus Duford, who has been with the Ottawas for several seasons, is now in England. He recently sailed overseas with a draft of artillerymen from Petawawa. Donald Smith, the Wanderer forwarl, sailed on the same boat. Leth Graham may be back in Ot- tawa shortly. He was wounded in the right shoulder in France, and is now convalescing in England. His arm will not be permanently affected. Art Ross states that he is out of hockey for good. He suffered from lumbago last winter, and was advis- ed to rest up. If~he plays at all it will be with one of the Montreal teams. Montreal magnates will hardly let the presidency come away from the metropolis. ' They claim that it 'would be necessary for the chairman to reside there, as all the business centralizes in Montreal.

PROTECTING THE FANS At the World Baseball Series in the Future, Exorbitant prices for admission to future world's series baseball games will not be tolerated, declares Pre- sident B. B.

Baseball is 'clean; it must be kept clean. Year by year prices have advanced until now the world's ser- ies has assumed a mercenary cha- racter which was never intended and should never be tolerated. There is some house-cleaning to be done, and it's going to start where the most dust of discontent has gathered, "I have talked with my colleagues of the American League and I am sure of their support. 1 think I can safely, promise fandom on behalf of the American League that a seale of prices more just to the purse of the great general public which supports the game will prevail in the future." v THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN. Three Ottawa Players Now in Pitts. burg for Hockey Season. Last year the O. H. A. put the ban on several rinks in the United States, or rather refused permission of their teams to play against the rink teams of those U. §, cities, Pittsburg was on of these, and at the time those behind the Pittsburg teams insist ghat their players were not imported, and that they were either homedbrews or Canadian players who were at that time living in Pittsburg and had been induced to play. The O.H.A. thought other- wise, and so did other people who had the good of amateur sport at heart. The O. H. A. will probably enforce the ban again this year, and so they should. One of the Pittsburg |. papers in commenting on the hockey situation for this season states that Bill Cameron, Eddie Nagle and F. C. Madden are some of the new men, All three of these players were with Ottawa teams last season, and it looks like a case of importation. Some time ago a story came out of Ottawa that Nagle was going to Pittsburg to "attend" the University of Pittsburg. 'Wilbert Robinson is the third {eam. McGraw and Jennings are the others. : i 8) -r ®lm 6 Gen 6 Cold weather brings out the overcoats. Let yours be a good one. D. S. COLLIER, 214 Princess Street. NH 8.
