WHILE ATHLETICS SEEK SCALP OFYANKE: PHILLIES WILL BATTLE GIANTS , AT TOPSPEED Trouble With New York Last Year Inspires Men of Dooin to Trounce Visitors Soundly. Increased Interest Here in Con tests Caused by Braves' Groat Fight for Flag in National League It ! hardly fair to cither the man tgeri or the playera of tho clubs In the National League to assume that Mc araw'a statement, In which ho remarked that everybody was nsalnst him, la true Nevertheless, It Is a fact that tho Phil ips liavo a two-fold purpose In defeat ing the Giants, and If thoie. errorts are in vain In the games staged at Broad and Huntingdon streets todny and to morrow, no follower of tho Uostoii IlravBs will have a cnanco to assert that the local legion did not give the enemy U It had. This afternoon tho Giants and Phllllos meet In another double-header. Tho first jrame wilt be called at 1:30 o'clock. Tues day there, will he only ono game at the local National League Park, when tho Now Yorkers will make their final ap pearance of the soason here against the Eoolnltcs. If tho double bill today la played with anything like the speed exhibited on Sat urday, when the teams broke even, the fans will be doubly pleased. That pair of frays was completed In two hours and 10 minutes playing time, a major league roeord for 19H. Tho double purpose of the Phillies to win from the Giants dates back at least a. year. In the first placo Manager Dooln's men want to win for the sake ef tho club ntandlng: secondly the trouble which arose last season at the Philadel phia ball park between Addle Hrennan. tho Phllly hurlcr, and McQraw himself has served to emphasize tho more or less bitter feeling which has always existed between tho two clubs. The feel ing caused by this latter circumstance was further augmented during tho 1913 season, when McQraw mado a vain at tempt to capturo a game here by de fault, on tho grounds that his men could not see a pitched ball on account of Uie fans In the centre field bleachers. Naturally there Is it more vital Interest In the approaching Phllly-Glants games than there has been this year. With the Braves leading tho New Yorkers in tin. dash for the pennant by a nar row margin. It Is needless to say that the ryes of the entire baseball world tv 111 be turned on Philadelphia, anxiously av -- the rc-i'' of these contests. Wlillo It is generally agived that, all things being equal In the National League, McGraw's club should win, it is not unhcrsally admitted thut they arn eiiual. In Philadelphia particularly there iH kindly feeling for the Braves, to say nothing of u. well-rooted belief that they will be found nt the head of tho column in ion October 7. ATHLETICS ARE PREPARED FOR FINAL SPRINT Men in Good Shape to Put Yankee Team on Run and to March Through the West. Collins, Barry, Schang and Lapp, Fully Recovered From Injuries, Now Playing Up-to Standard. NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Connlo Mack's recently bumpod band of ball Jugglers appear to bo themselves ngaln. They no longer are on the ragged edge of a turn bio and again they feel confident that thoy will not only capture the Barnes here today and Tuesday, but thoy will make their second successive trlumphu! march through tho west, clinching the flag be foro they nro ncoln seen within llio con fines of Shlbo Park, Philadelphia. What has bun chaiactcrlzvd as n. slump, yn not a slump, properly speak ing. To be sure, tho champions dropped four straights to tho fled Hot on their last visit to Boston; broko oven with the Nationals In Washington in a four game series, and tied tha Red Sox In Philadelphia in what proved to bo a two game series, owing to thu tlo contest played on last Friday. Desplto thla ap parent slump, Ilia Mackmen were seri ously handicapped at the tlmo these games wero dropped. Kdde Collins should never liavo played In the Red Sox games In Boston, after his ankle was Injured the first day. Ho played, but his work was not of the regular Collins brand, be cause tho Athletics' second-sacker could not place any faith In his ankle. At this same time Barry was on the Injured list with a spiked foot; Lapp and Schang were out of tho games, which left no de pendable catcher. To this last fact can bo attributed directly two of their de feats In Boston, Now, however, things have taken on their custon.ary rosy hue for tho White Elephants. All of tho maimed arc In good shape. Both Schang and Lapp are able to get In tho game and Collins and Barry showed In their work against tho Yankees on Saturday that they are ready to set the Wert aflamo with their won derful performances around tho keystone bag. MARTY FRANK SAYS: Manager Chance will bo Indeed for tunate If he is able to land ono of tho two games on top for the local fans. Mnck has given his orders that lio wants me pennant won at tne earnest date pos sible regardless of the effects on gate re ceipts. Tho players liavo responded to hls Instructions nnd are pieparlng to give the Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago nnd St. Louis clubs a severe set of drubbings nfter they leave the metropolis. i ii i , i i i m jtMMMm-.

O Inbred in Baseball Not satisfied with casting his bread upon the wators of tho Federal League. John M. Ward Is now said to be supply ing Weeghman'rf restaurants. Tho Giants now have Smith, nilcltaon. Huenko and Cralnerd. They are classed as recent purchases. That doesn't mean, howover, that McGraw lost his purchase In tho league 'race. It was a big drop for tho Orioles to land In Wilmington after having been In Baltimore so long. In fact, a true knock out drop. Joe Jackson Indignantly resents being called "Shoeless Joe," which Is limpid proof that tho story Is true. They do say that Larry Lajole Is going back. It looks the other way round to us. He has just moved from second to first. The National Commission has made all arrangements and has given tho details for tho approaching world's series with tho exception of the betting odds. It is understood that tho voting on that ques Ion was not unanimous. When William Penn made Ids treaty with the Indians some seasons ago, ha must have had u hunch that Chief Ben der and Hen Tincup weie going to prove useful members of this community. If Ira Thomas Is organizing a baseball fraternity all his own. It will doubtless be of Whlstllng-Hufus-tho-One-Man-Baud vintage. George Stalling.-! is characterized as the ieal reserve strength of the Braves 1. o ho 11 a resorvlst.

BUSHNEJJIi Pennsytvanla'3 football squad starts from scratch this year In tho big Inter colleglato gridiron race. While all of their rivals have had a handicap of from one to two weeks' start In the matter of preliminary pructlco, tho Quakers are the last to grt under way. On the fields of all tho other members of the "Illg SI:;" by which we mean Harvard, Talo, Princeton, Cornell. Dartmouth and Pennsylvania coaches have been testing nev and old candidates. It was not un til todny that Coorli Grorgo II. Brooke nnd Captain Albert Journeay had a chance to meet and size up the athletic youths who hope to wear the red and blue. Some of tho big universities have rather mcr, or a too-long extended, preliminary fallen from grace In the matter of ob serving tho unwritten rule against sum practice. There Isn't any Intercollcglat agreement respecting this practice, but by common consent It was discontinued several years ago by virtually all of the big universities of the East on the theory that It was not exactly fair. Hut grad ually all the others have been advancing the dato for calling out candidates, and nlthough not one has begun as early ar September 1, several have come perilously near It. The colleges of the Middle West met the Issue by a blgncd agreement not to begin preliminary practice more than two weeks In advance of the opening of their universities. This year Pennsylvania Is the only adhered to the old understanding. Last year, when the Quaker coaches saw that their rivals were calling out their candl dates before the middle of September George I3rooks asked for permission tr call out his candidates at the pnd of the first week in September. But the Penn sylvania Committee, under the chairman ship of T. Truxtun Hare, peremptorily re fused this request on the ground that It was not fair. Tho same position war taken this year although all of Pennsyl vania's championship rivals liavo the ad vantage of an early start.
