DOOIN'S CLUB PLAYS ST. LOUIS HERE TODAY-MACKMEN ENGAGE CLEVELAND NINE
PHILLIES LAST
WEEK TRAVELED
AT WINNING CLIP
Won Eight Games Out of
Nine in Seven Days, Hav
ing Piled Up 50 Runs on
82 Base Hits.
The past week lint been otic nC al
most perfect prosporlt.v In the rntika
of the Phillies. In this time the Daisies
havo played nine games on lite homo
Kiotinds and have won eight of thorn.
Lost Momlav nftcrnoun the Glattts
wero hero for n double-header and.
after the local men had lost the open
ing tilt, they went after their pennant
aspiring opponents, completely batter
ing down their defense and winning out
easily, 10-C. That was the signal for
the best l'hllly sprint of tho year.
This victory over Now York seemed
to put new life Into the men and they
havo been pining a brand of halt frotu
that Uato on. which, If kept up for
threo weeks nt one given period In the
season, would practically have tlnclied
the flog fm them, provided of course
thev had plned f.llily well at other
time.
Just what lias litpivined t the Phil
lies to wake (hem up to om.ltctely Is
ihaid to eav Cvety one who lun
watched the locnl National Leaguers
irulizcs that the.v have the latent
rower. The trouble was that tho teclpo
for transforming their potential energy
Into kinetic could not bo discovered.
For the time being, at least, this ttans
Xorrnatlon has taken place, but unfor
tunately the exact cause Is hnrd to as
certain. Possibly rich man icallzed
simultaneously that he was not putting
his whole abllit.v Into th( game. That
would be sutllclcnt to explain their
splendid work of the past seven days.
Outside of the fetllng of general sat
isfaction over the eight consecutive vic
tories, local fans rejoice with Grov.-r
Alexander at his success. Tho Invinci
ble right-hander has brought his util
ising maik up to 2.") games, two of
which were won In the paht wv-k.
Those VS winning shots tired into the
ranks of the allied enemy give Alexan
der $10)0, the bonus promised him bj
the Philadelphia club If he would win
21 games for them during the season
of 1914.
More strongly than anything else do
the figures for tho week indicate the
Hying pace which tho Phillies hae bton
setting. Last Monday morning the
locals were in sixth place nnd were
exactly nine games behind the Cubs,
the club which at that time stood In
fourth notch. Todav the Phils are In
fifth place, but what is more important
'irxntihis Ir. that they have cut down
their distance from the first division to
four and a, naif iraran, that in, thej
have split the lead of the fourth place
team in two in tho coue of n week.
Tho Cardinals, who have been leplaced
In third position by the Cub'', are not
only just four and a half games ahead
of the Phlllie. but. judging by the
brand of ball put up by the contending
clubs here on Saturday, they are apt
to have their lead cut dow n to two ami
a. half games beforn departing.
This afternoon and tomoi row the
rhllllcs and Cardinal meet in theli final
contests of the yeni. The games will
bgin at 3 o'clock at the National League
Park. Should the locals continue their
splendid piajing of last week thev will
have better than a lighting chance for
the first division, whcie on individual
juerlt they certalnlv should finish
Just what the Phillies have done in nn
ofTonsIvo wav during the past week can
be clearly seen by the appended figure

In the field, too, the Phillies have put
a great same. They have played tight
ball In every department, hence thev
havo been able to hold tlulr opponents to
a. minimum number of runs on tho hits
garnet ed, while they themselves have
scored a maximum on the total hits b
improved work on the buses. It is true
that on moro than out occasion last
week, Doom's people lost runs by not
taking advantage of opening on the of.
feme, yet on the whole, they have done
better In this respect than at any tiros
during the pisem campaign.
Fred Luderus' lav-uff hus done the first
stacker a wonderful amount of good Jmt
how long he vvnulil have been on tin
bench but for un accident, no one cm
na, but It i liii ky foi the Phillies tlig

Luderus went in ut tin?t He was ut

Since then Dooin has verj ptopcrly

made no mistake. Since his return to
the garao Fred has been up a dozen
times, has scored four runs and has made
peven hlt.s for eight base. Uis batting

Though the Phillies cannot win the

open ehnmplotihlp biousht out tho heit

an usual very few amateurs competed.
The success of the tournament was un
douhtedl.. due to the fact that play was
extended to S2 hole's Instead of 3t!, as In
previous j ears, nnd thnt the prize money
amounted to JiOO. Tom McNnmnra, of

The uunllf.vlng round of the invitation
tournament of the Golf Association of
Philadelphia fot the Junior championship
of Philadelphia will be plajed at tho .Mel
lon Crii'ket Club today. On account of
the oponins; of the schooh It has been
deemed necessary to change the sched
ule somewhat. It was orlglnallv in
tended to play the qualifying lotiml thin
morning, but in order to give those who
attend school nn opportunity to quallfj
play will continue nil day. The match
play rounds will also take place in tho
nfternoons Instead of In tho momlngi.
The tournament should he a. highly suc
cessful one. The young players of this
city nre nt last malting tholrf prosence
felt in competitions, Clement B. Web
ster, Jr., Norman II, Maxwell, Xj. M
Washburn, P. U Cot son, C. D. P. Town
send and M. M. .luck, all of whom, we
believe, are eligible, have already made
a name for themselves, and It will cause
no surprise at all If some temarkably
good scores are turned In.
The annual tournament for the Beithel
lyn cup, piesented by Mr. Caleb P. Pox,
will be competed for at the Huntingdon
Valley Country Club this week. The
nunllf.ving round will bo played tomorrow,
and the mttch play lounds on Wcdnes
day. Thui.-da. Prldny nnd Saturday. It
Is piobable that manj of the women who
competed In the national championship
at Nassau will be on hand, and the
competition for the coveted trophy should
be exceptionally keen. Tomouovv, in ad
dition to tho qunllfyinK round, there
will be a driving competition and a put
ting and npproachltn? competition, while
on Trlday there will be a rnKed foursome.
When Smith or Green or Urown or
Jont3 piles up o. couple hundred bones
by good hard work an' pluck, somu
nghbor's always on tho Job to wield a
hammer on his knob an' talk nbout his

Jones cankeep his couple bundled bones
an' let tho neighbor spout. It's Just that
way with Whltey Doak. Ills knockers
knock until they choke, but Whltey still
holds out.
Bill doesn't always last nine frames,
but what'H tho dlff? He wlno his games.
He's pUBhcd the Cards up lop. He pitches
ah tight long enough to let his pats put on
the stuff make runs enough to cop. When

The following contributed bit of poetry
was handed In by H. C. B., and Is right
timely, so here goes:
While the Giants and tho Braves are
fighting It out,
The "A'b" have tho pennant, of that
thcte's no doubt,
And whoever they meet, we expect some
thing soft.
But there's no telling what those Braves
may pull off:
For It they win the fla gin the National
J.eajrue,
Thej'ro a new combination nnd look
Pictty big;
Bill whoever plajs in the serlos to come,
To beat Connie Macy, they will havo to
"go some."
They'ie off again today in the scramble
Into the stretch for the National League
pennant and a slice of the world's scries
swng. With only 15 moro playing days
left and IS games to play, tho Giants
face tho tasslt of their lives to shake
the Braves from their three-game lead.
If Stalllngs continues to hold his men
to tho pace they havo shown since July 6,
tho Giants can't afford to lose a single
one of thu remnlnlng battles. The Braves
havo 20 more games to play and show no
signs of letting up from the ..TIG gait
cut out for themselves whon they started
their wonderful dash for the top. It Is
not likely the Braves will slow down to
a .500 clip, but, getting down to the "Ifs"
of tho matter, If they should win only
ten of their remaining 20 games, the
Giants must Tvln 13 out of their remulnlng
19 to win. Should Boston win 12 of tho
remaining 2d and lose eight, tho Giants
havo stiff work ahead, as then they must
return the winner In 13 of their remaining
gnmes, dropping only four. Fourteen vic
tories for tho Braves will mean that the
Giants must stack up 19.
Here's the answer as to why tho Ath
letics persist In leading tho American
League: For this season they lead tho
lensue in club batting, fielding, sacrl
ce hitting, base running and runs.

weather for their preliminary piuctlce
they had to endure a hot, sultrj. after

which vvcte most unsatisfactory for good
football. The Indians' score was live
points less than they made agnlnst this
bame team last jear, hut the Hodmen
fumbled any an opportunity for another

together with the statement that
the visitors had as much weight as the
Indians we know nt hast the Indians niu

their only mid-week game of the 1011 sea
i sou. Last ear Pltthburgh beat Cornell
by the score, of 20-7, this game being the
sixth on the Cornell scedule
I A -ar ago Cornell opened with I'r
sinus and beat tho men from College
1 vllle. Pa., by tha score of 41-n, am
I theie is apparently nr. reason why Co
' nell shouldn't score a similarly ea t
victory this year. But that game vvlP
! Pittsburgh threatens to be a contest o
another character Cornell blames moM
of the Pittsburgh's 30 points last ra
rpun the prowess of ex-Captnln W.ni
nei a man who was fit for un end posl
tlon on nny all-American team. Pltts
buigh has just nt. good a team this year
rlthough Cornell ought to bo even
stronger for this Initial game than In
1D13 Pittsburgh is Mill being coached
by Joe Duff, the old Princeton and all
American guard, nnd his friends sas
he has lost none of his cunning. Like
wise Pittsburgh has tho advantage o'
nn early start, nnd although Corner
has tlor.o moro preliminary work this
er than usual tho Ithacans will find
Pittsburgh n tough pioposltlon.
1 If last year's score rould he taken as
, i criterion the game between Yale and
I Slalne should be n near championship
affair, because the Maine eleven la.'
ear had tho distinction of holding Yale
I to a 0-0 tie Hut It ehould be said tha
na p!ed an In and out game last
I fail and the brand of football displayed
j against Maine Indicated a slump more
I than unusual strengh on Maine's pa'
l The Ells are never humiliated at the
hands of a ?mall collego twic In suc-
ceselon. and the chances ate that they
will strive for a decisive lctory at
I l-ast.
Tt Is a notable fact that Yule does not
open the season this year with Wesleynu,
i which from time Immemorial has been Hie
Klis' Initial opponent. Ilu this jear the
.Middletown collegians decided that the
Yale game, particularly this eatly, did
i then; more harm than good, because they
never had a chance to win and had to
enduio a good deal of battering Just to
afford practice for Yale, Some other
small colleges have awakened to this
1 truth, and nil the big universities have
i had more ditllculty this car in eched-
' ullrs minor colleges of sufficient strength
for the preliminary game.
I Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth and
JVnnsjlvanla all have what ought to be
' easy xaroes Harvard plays Rates, a
teum whleh the Crimson beat last jear
1 rather ea'dlv bv the eenre of 14 to 0. In
! psinuch ss Harvard has n veteran team
I the chances are that the Crimson can
j ion up a nut of whatever magnitude it
, desites. ih ush Hates has teen known to
' make trouble
The Rutgers eleven, which had the hon
or of drawing first blood on the Prince
ton Tigers last jeor when the score was
I 14 to 3 in Princeton s favor, plays In
I Tlgertown on Saturday Much of ?lut-
, cere' 1313 strength was due to the poie-
slot) of a. board of three coaches, chief of
'mmm-tpxi
old Yale centre. But Rutgers also had
good material, and since Sanford is at
New Brunswick onco moro Rutgers will
be disappointed not to hold Frlnccton to
a cloe score again.
Dnitmoutli found tho Massachusetts
Agricultural Collego an unusuallj active
antagonist last year ami was able to
win by a score of only 11 to 3. Dart
mouth opens with the same eleven Sat
urday, and the wearers of the Green
hope to roll up a more respectable score.
They ought to do It, too, because their
wonderful backllcld of last jear Is in
tact and they hnve had the advantage
of more than threo weeks of practice.
Because of tho prominent place Dart
mouth holds on Pennsylvania's schedule
this year tho Quakers will match their
work with a great deal of Interest. Dart
mouth has the same coach this year,
TiaiiK Cavannugh, the old end, a man
Dr. Carl Williams pronounces to be one
it the brst in the country.
The game on Franklin Kitld will bo
the first of the senBon, not onlv for
Pennsylvania, but for Gettjsburg as well.
r.ast year Penn beat the men from the
anious battlefield by tho scotn of 51
o 0. There will be a goodly number of
-xperiinents In the Quaker eleven this
veat, nnd for that reason it need not
be expected that Saturday's scor will
equal tho 1913 figures, Gettysburg has
the same coach as last ear, the man
'n charge being Mautlie, the old Penn
'tato fullback. If Mauthe has the ma
terial and can develop it to play as well
is he played himself .tysburg would
) much feared, for Mautho was one of
he best fullbacks that ever Btepped on
'ranklin Keld.
There will bo a lot of speculation all
his week to learn what men Head Coach
trooke will pick for his Initial llue-up.
Prihahly Brooke himself won't know un
il the day before tho game. The sifting
mocess is still going on. and the merits
inil demerits of every plajtr me being
carefully analyzed not. only by Brooke,
but by his assistants. But the chnncea
are that the first deveu men to line up
'oi Pennsylvania will be last year's reg
ulars or substitutes as far as that lb
possible. Thete nro some new men who
In piactlcp promise to he much better
than the 1013 regulars, but for the most
part they will not get Into the rfay until
tho game Is well under way.
The Quaker coaches have reason to feel
well phased with the tesults of their
"rst week's work, for they have accom
nllshed more than nnv one thought pos.
hie in so hhort a time. Not only have
hey taueiit the rudiments nf the game
'airly well to a big squad of candidates,
but thev have carefully studied and tested
the merits of all the men and sorted them
out until they have gotten all the can
didates working for the positions for
which they seem best fitted.
From tackle to tackle Pennsylvania has
available a line which will average close
to Sf0 pounds per man. As far na weight
and strength are concerned, the men te
ferred to are about all that could be de
sired. But these nuallflcatlnnH are only
about ono-half of what will be required.
In addition to weight an dstrenplh, they
must dlsplav speed and football sense
Some of the men who now look big
enough and sttong enough to push a
house over may h.-wo to be discarded
vet for men welchlnc or to pounds less
because modern football requires men of
speed and cleverness About all that can
be said of most o fthls quad of linemen
is that thev are making progress It Is
Imnnsslbla tn be much moro BppcKle now
An odd situation exists as far as the
ends and hacks are concerned The qual
ities necessnrv to plav on the ends or in
the harkfleld are much the same Fver
since the prnctlc opened the roaches
have been In douht coneernlns' some of
the men whether thev would he better
on the ends or In the hick 11!d At anv
time thev mleht be 'shifted back and
forth and It Is to be honed that when
these shifts are made they -will he made
with the ame Intuition or luck as when
Boy Mercer first came out for football
When he arrived the coaches resolved to
make an end out of him, but a train of
back field Injuries made it necessary t
put him In tho back field. He almost 1
stantly becamo a star In his new posit .
nnd by this accidental substitution
fair ond was converted into a scintilla
lug back.
How the ends and backs will bo plnji
this vcar will depend upon the way tl
candidates develop. With an oveisupp
of capnblo back the surplus can be list
as end candidates and vlco -veisa.
Enough was shown in Saturday's fit
scrlmmngo to stietigtlicn the Impressl.
crcnted by their woik nil week that Go
wals nnd Matthews, who plajed ha!
bark and fullback on last year's fresl
man team, can only be kept off tho tea
by the nppoarnnco ot some nnusaial
high-class backs. Gotwals, while
student at the Central High School, wi
a man of great speed and cleverness. P
Is faster and stionger than over nn
and ought to bo it splendid back. Rr
Mercor, who coached the freshman olevt
last sear, declared that Matthews, tvh
captained and played fullback on th
team, was one of tho best freshma
backs ho had ever seen. Mntthev
weighs nbout 190 pounds, but he seen
to be tho fastest man for his weight o
the squad.
Tho Penn coaches are still working o
the problem of quarterback. livvh
Ballou and Merrill are the favorites now
but it is a toss up which one will ho tl i
final selection. Tho couches are glvln'
Irwin every chance In the vvoild to make
good. Ballot! has had the most expen
enco of the three and may develop int
the best man when the critical gamr
come.
With tho loturn today of Avery anu
Bolgor, last year's halfbacks, the list of
'vurslty candidates at cnnsjlvnnia la com
pleted. Theso men will bo a strong nddl
tlon to tho sqund. Avery, while a. Uttlr
inconsistent last year, showed great stuff
at times. With the ndvnntage of lib
year of experlenco ho should be moro de
Iiendable this year. His speed and de
fensive strength may cause him to be
tried nut nt end.
Bulger was In poor phslcal condition
last year, but at that bhowed good prom
ise. 'He Is also a punter of no mean abil
ity ns well as a drop kicker.
AVhlle last week was spent ch!efl In
conditioning work, tho really heavy prac
tice will start this week, with plenty of
scrimmage and tackling drill The num
her of men out for each position arouse
some bitter sciimmages.
No very good line on tho make-up of
the team can be gained yet. It is all de
pendent upon the men under lire A man
may be whirlwind In signal practice but
yet lack the stuff In scrimmage.
The scrubs-under Coach Hornby Gas
ton havo been developing Into n unified
team and may be expected to put up theli
usual snappy game. In Berry, who is
Ineligible for 'varsity, Gaston will have
a valuable man. Ho kicks them a mile
and is u stieak streak with the ball, be.
sldeB being a wonderful Held general Ho
Is also a good tra k man, having several
times done the half inside two minutes

W o r k in g Agreement Be

Basketball followers aro assuied of
belter sport both In this city nnd State
und New Votk, as the managers of the
six clubs of the Hastcrn I.cnguo und
tho lcadeis of the clubs ot the N'evv
York State League have formed a Na
tional Commission. Tho commission
cntno ns the direct result of the New
York Stato League having its players
signed by Eastern Leaguo magnates
and by the Jumping of contracts. Both
lengues signed an agreement yesterday
In New York.
Aftor a short discussion It was de
cided to play a. world's series hetweon
tho winners ot both leagues, provided
tho managers and players feel so In
clined. Tho schedule will bo arranged
by the two presidents, namely, William
Jacob Scheffer, ot the Enntcrn Leaguo,
and A. Stnck, of the New York State
League. Another agreement was that
any club of cither league violating any
part of the agreement would be flnql
100, which will go to the league not
al fault.
There was some little discussion over
tho players who have been signed by
the En-stein League clubs. Now York
agreed to let lieadlng ictnin Bogglo,
who formerly played a forward posi
tion on tho Glovervlllo live. Frankcl,
who had been released by a club from
New York nnd signed by Ticnton, was
allowed to remain with the Bengals,
who In toturn turned back Clinton nnd
Hcnschel to tho Now York Leaguo.
Roy Steele, who jumped to the Cam
den team, was allowed to remnln In tho
Hastcrn organization. Sedian, who had
signed with flreystock and who was on
the rcsetvo list of the Utlca live, will
be allowed until September 26 by the
commission to decide with which team
he will play. Grimstead, of Utlca, nnd
signed by Reading, will also be allowed
to decide by letter on September 26
Sugerman, who -was signed by Grey
stock, was the enuso of a wordy tilt.
The Cohoes decided that If Sugerman
wanted to enter the Dental School of
the University of Pennsylvania they
would not waive a claim, but If he did
not enter college would demand hla
services.
ATHLETICS PLAY
CLEVELAND TODAY;
RIVALS IN DETROIT
Mackmen Have Pennant

Leaders Last Week.
CLHVHLAND, O., Sept. 21 While the
National League race Is being waged so
fiercely In the Hast (he Athletics ate do
ing little more than plojlng out the sched
ule. While It Is still mathematically pos
sible for tho iRed Sox to ovcrtnko the
Mackmen, tho gnmes of the American
Lcngtlo nre not being played on n craj
oncd blackboatd, but on the diamond, and
there the chnrrplons arc supteme. Tho
scries which began here yesterday re
sulted In a victory for Connie Mnck'n
team, and despite tho fact that tho Red
Sox took n double-header from Detroit
the world-beaters do not In tho feast fear
that their present lend will bo materially
cut down before tho close of tho season,
Ono week ugo tho Athletics weto leading
the Boston club seven nnd u half games,
while today they ate leading by six and
n half. Tho loss of one gamo In the
"won" and "lost" column, huvvuvei, Is loo
small an Item to cvon be considered (Inn
geious. accoidlng to the way the White
Elephant plnyeis feci about the ninttn.
The American Lcastie clubs In tho West
nre dated to meet the same opponents
this afternoon that thoy pluyed yester
day. The Athletics will put their time In
today giving the Naps an exhibition (it
the pastime, while their rivals, the Red
Sox, will again endeavor to bent the
Tigers.
If thete Is any one who thinks that the
mighty Bender Is going back they should
havo seen him yestetday working against
the Clevelanders. Ills control, speed and
curves weie of that same dlsconceitlng
type thnt broke the hearts of thousands
of New York followeis last fall. It Is,
thcrefoie, more than reasonable to sup
pose that when the bntteiles nto an
