PHILLIES OWE
MUCH TO DOOIN
FOR HIS WORK
Attburn-haired Leader Has
Wrought Well Despit Re
Verses and Should Not Be
Allowed to Go to Braves.
MACKMEN ARE
DIVIDED IN THEIR

AiMo from the nil-Important (mention as

noinda of fnndom In to favor Charley
Dooln. Flighty rumor has It, but from
tthaX Authority no one can leam, that
SJoola Is playing and managing his lost
ooaion at Broad and Huntingdon streets.
if that Is so It will be sad news.
Xooln has never won a pennant for the
PhtlUoa, but he Is a good lender, and with
the material which he had this season,
no on could have done better. The fact
that hla club was shot to smithereens by
.thn Federal League Is alone responsible
for Doc In's club dropping from second
pliuvo to second division In the spneo of
no abort season.
Hod the Phllly leader been able to hold
Nike. Doolan he would probably be In
tha running now. The numerous and nec
essary switches at the shortfleld position
caused the Phillies to drop games which
ehootd hae been added to their string
of victories. Furthr. If Peaton had been

Door the top that they would be figuring
on how they could most enjoy their
torld's series coin As for the other los
ea, they matter little In the final out

Ifotns against him at every turn, Charley I
Doota has stood up splendidly under the
SrUhnc He has caught far more games
than a manager should, because he be
IJervod ttiat his presence behind the bat
would he of value to his club. And It was.
Charfey was In the line-up. and the
power Of the team's play wan Increased
far more than his mere catching would
bawe joatlfled. It was the personality of
Dooin on the field which helped and
'Which kept the club up as high as It Is
tod ax.
Tn the two double-headers which the
Phtlflca have played with the Giants the
New Yorkers have lost ground by set
ting only an even break. The Giant? I
clearly showed that If they are strong
enough to win the National League pen
nant the Braves must be much waker
than generally credited. And to sift the
proposition still flnpr, If the Giants come
throuBli this season the superiority of i
tha American League Is stabllhed be
yond the shadow of a lingering doubt.
"Whan the time i-omes that Mathewson

placed by O'Toole In the third Inning.
TJn Giants were lucky to split with the
Phflfl yesterday. Catcher Burns' wild
threw to third was all that saved the dav
for Tesrea-u and prevented the Braves
from being three and a half games ahead
of the McGrawltes Instead of two and a
half, as they are tfday.
Tocriy's game between the Phillies and
tha Giants will be started at 3 o'clock.
Thla will be the starting hour for all
single games uf the local National Loagu
during the remainder of the season.
Some Favor Giants to Win,
While Others Want Braves
to Capture National
League Pennant for 1914.
NEW YOUK. Sept 16.-Accordlng to the
Braves' followers here, tho Athletics am
to play their last game of the year at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon, when they
meet the Highlanders. However, If the
Giant adherents are consulted, they will
sy that this Is merely tha last game the
champions will pmy here until the world's
series. So there you are.
What the Athletics think of the matter
Is of some Importance, but in general both
players and manager aro reticent on the
subject if the National League flag,
though tho. do not In the least object to
admitting that the) are going to capture
the peunant.
Tho Athletic players themselves are
divided jti the nuestion of which club they
would prefer to play In the series, for the
reanun that dlffeient motives lead them to
arrive at different viewpoints. There axo
some members of the White Elephant clan
who wish the Giants to win. DUrely for
financial reasons, thinking the Polo
Grounds will accommodate a greater
crowd than Fenway Park, where the
Braves would play the series. If th.y
Frank Chance appeared on the sidelines
against the Athletics In Monday"" fracas.
He did not seem worried In the least that
ho had been given no other alternative
than to resign as manager.
The M.ickmen leave after today's game
for iheir final trip over the Western end
of the circuit. They are not scheduled
tomcirrow. but meet Detroit the following
day.

Blackburne drew his game with Guns

so Important a tournament. Blackburne

DICK RUDOLPH
Along with Tyler and James, Rudolph has been carrying the pitching burden of the Boston Braves in their
mad rush for the National League pennant. The trio has won 59 games and lost 28. Of these Rudolph has captured,
including yesterday's game, 21 affairs and has been credited with 11 defeats, most of which were sustained during
the early stages of the race, when the Braves were adorning the bottom of the ladder. There are only three pitchers
in the National League who have a better pitching average than Rudolph; his teammate, James, who is leading, and
Doak, of St. Louis, and Tesreau, of the Giants. At present Mathewson and Rudolph are tied. The pitching prowess
of Dick Rudolph was shown yesterday, when he won out despite the seven errors made behind him.

lost his speed Has he lost the art of
putting the Jump on the ball? Tho play

Control and a deadly fear of killing a
batman.
Any man with Johnson's control can
prent hitting a batsman If he chooses.
Johnson do choose, and what Is more
to the point, the batters know It. It wos
during the early stages of tho present
race that the first stories of Johnson's
fear of hitting batters wert published.
These articles, printed by practically
ever newspaper In the country, contained
the statement of tho Washington hurler
that he would oult baseball forever If ho
should kill a man with a pitched ball.
This, naturally, gave the batters, con
fidence, for there Is no doubt that John
son's effectiveness was due, to a large
extent, to the fact that the vsould-t
hitters pulled away fmm the plate, and
in so doing lost their toe hold, as It were.
Now tho malorlty of batters In the
American league know that Johnson la
not going to attempt to uae the "bean
ball" on them, and, furthermore, that his
control Is so wonderful that the chances
for --lng hit are small.

younger and older, are now engaaeTta
the war, there wouldn't be any athletic
team there even If there wer, any time
to think about auoh things. No matter
how the war results, It will talte to much
money, time and men to recoup fnm
this etmggle that all Kinds of .porta wffl
