PHILLIES 01E
MUCH TO DOOIN
FOR HIS WORK
Auburn-haired Leader Has
Wrought Well Despite Re
verses and Should Not Be
Allowed to Go to Braves.
MACKMEN ARE
DIVIDED IN THEIR
SERIES SYMPATHIES
k
Stssa
!i
Aside from the nil-Important question ns
to which club will win the National
League pennant, the main Idea In the
minds of fandotu I? to favor Charley
Dooln. Flighty rumor has It, but from
what authority no one can learn, that
Dooln Is playing and managing his last
season at Broad and Huntingdon streets.
If that Is so It will bo sad news.
Dooln has never won a pennant for the
I'lillllos, but ho Is a good leader, and with
the material which he had this season,
no one could have done bettor. The fact
that his club was shot to smithereens by
the Federal League Is alone responsible
for Dooln's ctub dropping from second
place to second division In the space of
one short season.
Had the Phllly leader been able to hold
Mike Doolan he would probably bo In
the running now. The numerous and nec
essary switches at the ohortlleld position
caused the Phllliei to drop games which
should have been added to their string
of victories. Further. If Seaton hnd been
here, the Phillies would probably be so
near the top that they would be figuring
on how they could most enjoy their
world's series coin. As for the other loss
es, they matter little In the final out
come. Even with all the breaks of the game
going against him at every turn, Charley
Dooln has stood up splendldlv under the
grilling. He has caught far more games
than a manager should, because he be
lieved that his presence beh'nd the bat
would be of value to his club. And It was.
Charley was In thp line-up. and the
power of the team's play was Increased
far more than hi mere catching would
have Justified. It was the personality of
Dooln on the field which helped and
which kept the club up as high as It Is
- today.
In the two touble-headets which the
Phillies have pln.ved with the Giants the
New jYorkers have lot ground by get
ting fonly an even break. The Giants
clefirly showed that if thv ire strong
Enough to win the National League pen
nant the Braves must be much weaker
than generally credited. And tn sift the
proposition still liner, If the Giants come
through this "eason the superiority of
the American League Is established be
yond the shadow of a lingering doubt.
When the time comes that Mathewson
cannot go in and give a creditable ac
count ot himself it Is time for McGraw to
look toward strengthening his club. There
1 not a player on the New York
Club who can really be called great e-
ceptMaTty. McJr.w, to b "lire. Is worth
half a dozen stars. Matty was in bad
shape In the final game of the double
header against the Phillies ami was re
placed by O'Toole in the third inning.
The Giants were luck to split with the
Phils yesterday. Catcher Hums' wild
throw to third was all that saved the ilnv
for Tesroau and prevented the Braves
from being three and a half games ahead
of the McGrawltcs Instead of two and a
half, as they are loda.
Today's game between the Phillies and
the Giants will be started at 3 o'clock.
This will be the starting hour for all
single games of the local National League
during the remainder of the season.
Some days ago Christy Mathewson pr-
dieted that the Boston Riaves had hen '
going at such a nerve-racking pad that
they would break sooner or later. If
that Is true. It will be Inter, for ui to date
there has been no sign whatever of dis
integration. On th contrary they have
been Increasing the power of both their
offensive and defensive branches. Their
pitching has not Uotriorated one I'.ta
and thHr general plnv has been such ,
that the more the followers of this team
have seen of them the more certain they
have become that they will ultimately
win out. On the other hand, the Giants,
despite their boasted strength, have been
playing louselv afield and th pitching, ,
except on those occnslons when Matty
has been In. has not been up to pennant- '
winning standard, and cannot be com
pared with the splendid work of James.
Tyler and Rudolph.
A few words about this so-called
, "nerve-racking pace, ' or "high -tension,"

Some Favor Giants to Win,
While Others Want Braves
to Capture National
League Pennant for 1914.
NEW YORK. Sept. tS.-Accordlng to the
BrnVes' followers here, the Athletics r
to play their Inst game of the year at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon, when they
meet the Highlanders. However, If the
Giant adherents are consulted, they will
say that this Is metely the last game the
champions will piay 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
playeis and manager are reticent on the
subject of the National league flag,
though they do not in the least object to
admitting that 'they are going to capture
tho pennant.
Tho Athlct.c plaers themselves are
divided un tho iiuestlon of which club they
would prefer to piny In the series, for the
reason that dlffeient motives lend them to
arrive at different viewpoints. There are
some members of the White Elephant clnn
who wish the Giants to win, purely for
flnanolal reasons, thinking the Polo
Grounds will accommodate a greater
crowd than Fenway Park, where the
Braves would play the serler If they
vv on.
Fnnk t'hatvo appeared on the sidelines
against the Athletics in Mondny's fracas.
He did not seem worried In the lenst that
he had b-en given no other alternative
than to resign as manager.
The Mackmen leave after today's cams
for their tlnal trip over the Western end
of the circuit. They are not scheduled
tomorrow, but meet Detroit the following
day.

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 arc 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 Tesrsu, 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.

American League Batsmen,
No Longer Fearing Dead
ly Ball, Have Beaten Wal
ter Seventeen Times.
In the season of 1313 Walter Johnson
was credited with the loss of live games.
With nearly another month to go before
the 19H campaign closes, the speed king
has dropped IT contests. Has Johnson
lost his speed? Has he lost the art of
putting the Jump on the ball The play
ers say not. What then is the matter?
Control and a deadly fear of killing a
batsman.
Any man with Johnson's control can
prevent liltttna a batsman If he chooses.
Johnson dons choose, and what Is more
to the point, the batters know It. It was
during the early stages of the present
race that the first stories of Johnson's
far of hitting batters wer published,
These articles, printed by practically
ever newspaper In the country, contained
the statement of tho Washington hurler
that ho would ault basehall forever If he
should kl-1 a man with a pttcted ball.
This, naturally, gave the batters con
fidence, for there Is no doubt that John
son's effectiveness was due, to a Jargq
extent, to the fact that the would-be
hlttera pull'd away from the plate, and
In so doing lost their toe hold, as it were.
Now the majority of batters in the
American Irf'oguo know tndt Johnson Is
not going to attempt to uie the "bean
ball'' on them, and. furtheimoie, that his
control Is s wonderful that the chances
for aelng hit are small
Thai this fear of being hit is a matter
which affects batters t'j a very Urge ex.

In a youngster w-ho has a fair amount of

mum number of hits by such a pitcher.
It is tcr this same reason that many of
tho pitchers in both the American and
National leagues use the "bean-ball."
Thev want to Intimidate the batters and
often they do.
Clark Oufflth has instructed his pitchers,
bo It Is said, to send one or more balls
straight for Frank Baker's head every
time he goes to the bat. And they are
said to do It. with the exception of John

A rumor to the effect that Captain

PENH STATE SQUAD
VERY LIKELY TO BE
A SUCCESSFUL ONE
Sixty Candidates Are Out
for Five Vacancies On the
Eleven Coaches and

STATB COLLEGE, Pa., Sept. lS.-Wlth
more than 60 eager candidates fighting
for five vacancies on Penn State's foot
bail team, tho outlook for a successful
season Is most encouraging. Dotormlned
to forget the disastrous closing of tho
1913 schedule, the coaches and players
hnyo taken on a most optimistic air.
Thoy are encouraged by the Bplendld
condition of the eight varsity men of
last year's toam, and are suro that two
halfbacks, two guards and a tackle are
to bo developed readily from the strln
of well-coachod schoolboys who havo re
ported for tho preliminary practice.
Coaches Harlow and Ilollenbaclc are
confronted by two problems-tho satis
factory development of a left tackle,
around whom State's offensive play Is
to be constructed, and a quarterback to
succeed Captain "Shorty" Miller, whu
was graduated last June. By shifting
to left tackle Lovl Lamb, Penn StntoB
bulwark on tho right wing, the flrsR
puzzling problem would be solved easily.
But for tho fear of weakening the right
sldo of tho lino ny wmin nm,u.,
Coach Dick Harlow Is reluctant to make
tho change. Should all other alterna
tives fall, Lamb may play the left wing
position. . ..
Captain Tobln la first choice for tne
quarterback vacancy. His wide football
experience, and his adaptability to uaclc
flcld positions glvo him the first call.
At present ho Is playing the position
satisfactorily. He Is directing the eleven
with Judgment and handling forward
passes cleverly. Next to Tobln, Evvlng,
tho ex-Pittsburgh Central High School

western Pennsylvania, Is favored. He
