PHILLIES' LAST GAME OF SERIES WITH PITTSBURGH TODAY-ATHLETICS AT DETROIT
PHILLIES EAGER

Stirred Dead Hopes to i

Seven-game Lead, How
ever.
Bnsobn.ll clubs, being composed for the
most part by humiui., lusemblo tho Indi
vidual. They nre never sntlsiled with their
standing- If a club la it the to, colloc
lively It wishes to inntte a record. If It Is
bccond It wishes to be first und soon. The
I'hllllea form a baseball team, hence the
or.ly logical conclusion that could follow
1, that Charles Dnoln'i men desire to
iioso out tho Cardinals, and tinlsli in tho
first division.
Tho twofold victory of the locals over
the IMrates yesterday has canned tho
Cardinals to worry a bit. Today the
Phillies encounter tho WnBncrlittis ago in.
This contest will be only a dnu affair.
With llio Graves ai-lnp aloiiK twl
lly, the rhllly follower" me expecting
llutfsins' i liib to fall brfoir th New
Kngland attack, theieb wiping out an
other Ban. prolilod. of course, that th
I'hlls defeat PlttsbuiKh. This moinlus
tho Cardlnnln were leading tho I'hlllles
by seven frames, the latter club haviiiE
displaced the Pirates during the last -4
liours.
Following- the Pirates' visit, which ends
today, the Bt. Louis club will arrive for
A series with the Phillies. A clean-up
of that scries would put our boys de
cidedly In the running for first honors.
Oust at present tho St. Louis pitchers
arc not going as well as th-y were some
weeks ago, whilo the Phllly hurlcrw, In
cluding even the Icft-huiided you"i,
Itlxcy. are setting a fast pace. Ken Tin
cup allowed the Pirates only five hits
yesterday, and It Is rcnoitab!c to sup
pose that he will go along at approxi
mately tho some clip until October.
McGraw's Gothamitcs seem to have lost
all save honor. They haven't been able
to gain on tho fU Ins Ilravca this week
and the chances for so doing are de
creasing hourly.

Nothing could be more senseless right
now than to attempt nn appraisement of
the material which has reported for Penn
sylvania's football team. Those men who
have lind varsity experience with tho Itcd
and Blue In past years nre known quan
tities. So, to a certain extent, nro somo
who plajcd with the sciub eleven last
year, but for the most part it Is totally
Impossible to give any wort of rating to
men who played on last year's freshman
eleven or thoso who comn with football
experience from other colleges. When
sorlmmngo practice begins the coaches
will have a means to test their men', the
preliminary games will be a guide, but
not until the moic important games, such
I as the Navy and Swarthmorc, will experts
I be nblo to pass Judgment on the majority
of the new men.
Nothing would be worse for the final
success of the new players thnu too mush
praise at this time, Ovcr-cnthuslastlc un
dergraduate concspondents ate Inclined
to cxaggcrnto abilities of the men whom
they see running back kicks, making
long runs and lino plays against tho
scrub players. But tho real worth of a
man Is never known until ho hns been
In some real games. On this hypothesis
Pennsylvania's coacheo will have to con
tlnuo their sorting until they have nn
eleven w,hlch can hold Its own ngalnst
championship ilvals.
Pennsylvania's coaching staff Is pro
ceeding with Its sifting process In a bus
inesslike manner. Every man who has re
ported Is having a thorough test. In fact,
every player will have come under the
personal Inspection of Coach Brooke him
self befoie tho Initial game next week
against Gettysburg. Not only will every
player have to pass Brooke's scrutiny,
but he will have to receive tho npjiroval
of the assistant coaches.
In order that the men may have evely
facility for learning tho tudlmcnts of
the game ns well us the fine p. 1 is of
their own positions, they are divided Into
squads, first to practlco those rudiments
of the game which are common to all
positions, and then to specialize In tho re
quirements of the positions they hope to
play. Thus Dywcr drills tho lino nvn,
Dickson the ends, and Brooko tho backs,
In addition to keeping his cyo on tho
whole squad. Because this work Is being
dono so Ruefully is explanation enough
for tlio unusually eaily i eduction In tho
size of tho varsity squad.
Michael Dorlzas Is winning the ap
proval of the coaches by tho determined

rVmcrlcan football. tVhllo all tho
that some
Oreck in
hand when Iip tlrst made his api;arnnce
on Franklin Field, they aro now trying
to make up for lost time. Since Inst spring
Dorlzas has probably had more Indi
vidual coaching than any two men com
bined. Football Instruction lias been
crammed Into him in such bl? ilnsi- timt
I his kucccss ns a lino player will depend
upon how much ho hns Deen able to ns-
, slmilnte. Football knowledge and intuition
i ate not to be absoibed as n rule in so
' short a time. In intelligence Dorlzas
ranks above tho average football player.
Likewise he hns athletic cleverness, and
theso qualities may overcome the handl-

FRED MERKLE
i This season Merkle has been putting up a great game for the Giants at
1 first base, and if McGraw wins the pennant he will likely be one of the leading
stnrs for the New Yorkers in the world's series. Last vear he was not able to
play against the Athletics throughout the scries because of an injury. While way h

ferent regattas along tho shores of South

It has been suggested by an ofllcial
of the South Jersey Taclit Itaclngr Asso
ciation that a special series of events b
nrrangcO to take place at the U regattas,
which will niako up the schedule of the
association. The membors of the South
Jersey rlubs will make a strong bid for
tho one-dckljfn events at tho coming
mcitlng- to bo held the early part of Jan
uary In this city.
Th Chelsea Yacht Club fleet, which
consists of mora than a doicn boat,
held a series of races during the latter
part of this season. There are tltreo
classes, namely, Chelsea locals, tS-foot-ers;
Chelsea express, iO-tooters. nnd Chel
tr.i flyer. Il-footere. Four series of races
will be held. In tho local class N'edene,
owned by B. O. Frazier, captuied the
prUe, winning the first two events.
In the JO-foot lass, Chedora J I, onnxl
hi Herbert G. Stockwell, won the series i wm ziVe Cornell a flery baptism at the
throwers nnd oarsmen.
Eddie Dennis, fullback In 'M, '03 and
member of the basketball hnd track
team, was a visitor at the afternoon prac
tice. Also Dutch Sommers, halfback of
'07, ', "CO and '10.
Cornell has the distinction of being the
first member of the "Big Six" to begin
scrimmage work. The Ithacans have been
at It now several day3. This was made
possible for them by the fact that they
had a full week's start over Pennsylvania
and nre now pretty well along- In the
hardening process. Another reason for
Doctor Sharpe' anxiety to start his men
at real football wati the fact that the
Ithacans have for their first opponent the
t'tilveislty of Pittsburgh team. Cornell
bus good reason to remember and fear
Pittsburgh because last year this eleven
beat the Ithacans 21 to 7. It Is true that
when Cornell met Pittsburgh a. year ago
tin Ithacans wero In the midst of a
.dump, but Pittsburgh was the better
team and If said to be just as fast and
powmul this year. Some Cornell men
aro even now wondering why th football
management scheduled this team for the
first same. No matter what happens It

LANCASTER, Pn., Sept. lS.-Thc
I'lnnlOln nnd Marshall vatbily lost a
much needed man ycstculay, when Slum
ma, n big tackle, sustained a dislocated
shoulder, which will keep him out of the
gamo this year. Near the middle of last
season the shoulder was flint dislocated
and Mummn, who had played ln all tho
contests up to that time, was lost. Ills
absenco from tho position on the line
nrcnln this year will be more keenly felt
with Hartmnn away.
Coach a.vkcs, of Frnnklin and Marshall
Academy, with SchafTner, last year's cap
tain of tho collego eleven assisting, had
tho prep school sijund on the field for
the llrst time lust night. Only three of
last jcat's varsity aro back, nnd these
men. Itartman, Spunglcr nnd Itvln must
form tho nucleus for llio team. Even of
tho st-iubs of last year only Alcsbury,
Foiguson and Ynder have come back. At
this cmly moment ttcose, of Mountvlllo
High, nnd Claik, who was at Bethlehem
Prop In 1513, look likely. Altogether the
team will lie light, hut tho conches, both
of whom arc new men, have hopes of
developing a speedy eleven.
