LOUlS HER PHILLIES READY FOR FINAL TILT WITH CARDINALS Game Today Will Be Staged at National League Park at Three o'Clock. Braves' Lead Almost Prohibitive. Though the Phillies tossed away 'a game yesterday which they might have won half a dozen limes they ate not out of the running for the first division ilace by any means. Again today th Doom athletes w 111 go to battle with Hugglns' nine. It Is sad Indeed to think that a club whiih hits the ball with the fierceness ot the Phillies should show such weird lack form on the bases. L"nles3 the opposing plti'her Is sending over a brand of tinli.ttable ball a team ought to score nlri" tims out of ten with n. man on second and no outs.

Jut hnr a word should be said favor ing .I.iek Martin Tho youth has dis placed remarkable Improvement In the ln.-t month at shortstop and seems to b' L-ettlnc better each day. Martin t V' the beat shortfielder In the National l.' teiie, but he bids fair to give some m n b.itt'.e for the honors next season. Jii't at present Maranvllle, of the I?os t"n Praxes, has a eood deal on the field of shortstops, but there Is no reason w in Martin should not develop enouch In another year to run a good race with tl.e clever little Infie.der of the league l-ad r. When the Pirates went down yesterday re'irc the continued onslaugnt of tho Braves .md trie Cub sank a shaft of de feat into the cracking Giants, the Na tion .il lvalue pennant was all hut -von. As Mtfiran savs, the series between the Braves ,md the Giants will probablv be the deciding factor. This being the case, it seems that the Braves should have nn risv thine of It, a they have had no great amount of trouble In despolllnr tho I New York make-up since tney nave reen skimming along at their present fast Mride MACKS SLIPPING BUT STILL THEY HAVE LONG LEAD Red Sox Have Small Chance With Athletics Six Games in Front Cham pions Meet Cleveland To day. CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 22 ttist what would happen to the Athletics If then was another month of baseball Is a mat ter of conjecture. That the Athletlis are hot putting up anything like the game on this final spurt around the Western circuit that they did on their last in vasion Is certain. Vet the slump can be explained When the Maekmen started on their second Jaunt through the West thy realised that they still had some distance to go and that to defeat the nearest contender they would have to open up n biff pap between their own and the standing of the second club in th Amerlcun league. Thl the did Thev came home with a lead of 11 games Today the Athletics have but six games on tho Bed Pox That Is, the have lost seven full mines slnen the end of their second trip through the West, but it must bo remembered that the H-gamo lead practically put them on eas.v street for the pennant and thej cen-d to tukn long chances, bellcvlnc that the pen nant was won. Kurthermote, a series of accidents pulled them duwn recently when they made a Hying trip to Boston and Washington Just before leaving for the West. With a sK-game lend at this stage of the race It Is hard to see how the Red Sox can come within hailing dltance of the Macks, despite the general rv that Connies clan Is slipping, and slipping rapidly. The eacle eje of Eddie Collins has caused Ban Johnson to hand down a de cision declaring the ue of the "emerv ball" Illegal. It will he remembered that Eddie discovered that Keating was using a piece of emery paper In his glove to make Abrasion when the Athletics were taut In New York The umpires did not know what to do about it, hence the put It up to the president of the league It Is said that Buss Kord was the first to use emery paper to make the ball sail pecullarlv to the batters. The other pitchers who are known to have emplojei the same trick In the American Leagu are Ve.tn Greqg, ,7v Wood and Ba Keatlnc Accoidlng to the Boston experts. Gregg taught Wood the trick when the former left Cleveland and Joined the for-ei of the Bd Sox. MARTY O'TOOLE McGraw's chances for winning the National League pennant would be greatly increased if the erstwhile Pirate and $22,500 beauty should come through at the ninth hour with a few victories. Although McGraw realized when he landed O'Toolc from Pitts burgh that he was taking a chance, he also knew that if Marty should happen to get a good start, he would well be worth the chance. So far, O'Toole has been of little value to the Giants except for relief work. His customary wildness has been the positive factor in his failure to come up to expectations.

And the valea at Europe rtns with women's criea; But the European battle Will te tame as childish prattle When our football corrtupondents mobilize. 1 here Is really no reason why the Athb-ticb or the owner of the total American I-edgue club shouW pull tot tne New Vork Giants t" win oyi inw year rather thin the Brave. They take It. or at least the majority of them do. that the gate receipts would be larger In New Vork than they would be In Boston but the figures of 131! ami 13? shoxv that there is veiy little different. In 1912 the Red Sox and Utants had J4.6S3 paid admissions at Fenway Park for the rlfth game of the series At tha Polo Grounds last October the larg est paid attendance at th Athletl Glant contest was 36 6S3 This proves tbat there it not enough difference In the eutins capacity ot the Polo and Fenway grounds to make a material dif ference in the receipts. Furthermore, ttu-re are more high-priced seats border ing the Boston diamond than there are nt the polo Grounds, according to Presi dent Lannln. of the Bed Sox. There fore, Inasmuch as It has already been determined by the National Commission thnt the games will be plaxed in Boton nt Fenway Park, and not at the National League one, In ca?f the Braves win. It l hard to see how such a small dllter ence In figures could affect the pluxers and owners. Boston, like Philadelphia, was orlclnnllx and still is fundamentally n. Nationa'l Leasue ball town. Hence, if the world's series is played In the Hub cltv Penway Park Is sure to be filled to Its capacity at every contest. The people ,,f Boston would rather see the Braves win the pennant In the National League than they would the Bet p0x to win twice Just why this condition of fanatic affairs ex sts no one can say.

BUSHNELL Pennsylvania's football authorities will make gridiron history by their action In deciding' to number their players in tho g.in.e with Gettysburg n Saturday. Geitvsburg's ronsent to the innovation is quite as notable. These two teams xvlll be the first college elevens in America to demonstrate the worth of this pro gressive reform. The reform consists in sewing numbers on the backs of the foot ball Jerseys of such n height as to make them xislble in all parts of the field. Thus the spectators, by reference to thelt progrnms, can instantly identify exery player on the field, can tell xvho makes touchdowns, Important runs nnd tackles, nnd will have before them the answers to countless other questions which spec tators and newspaper writers have len accustomed to ask for In x'nin. It had taken several years of argu ment to have tlii reform considered with approval Mont of the big universities of the Knst have shied nt It, and even the Utiles Committee Itself has sidestepped It. PennsxhHiila's attitude has always been trlendlv Pour years ago tho xvilter suggested this, plan to the Pennsylvania and Cornell managements for their an nual Thanksgiving Pay game. The Qunker coaches, alter a discussion of the pros and cons, ngretd to It ,So did Coi nell at first, hut two days before the game the Illiucnns nsked to be excused from trying the experiment. So far there has never been a big col lege game wheie all the plaxers were numlieied, though several high school teams In and around Boston and New York haw been doing It for sevenil years nnd with marked sueeess Last fall Part mouth numbered Its players for its final game with the Carlisle Indians plaxed lu Nexv York. The Indian players, hoxvexer, were not so numbered, and while the e. perlment was hailed with delight by the Goths m football public and scribes, It wns not a fair test. About the onlv objection ever made was the fear that a star player might thus he identified by the opposition and either be a mark for their attack or he more easily watched. This, of nurse. Is ndH'uIous on its faee, because when two teams take the field they instantls know tne identity of all their opponents And suppose the opposition did know their opposing plavers, what good would this knowledge do them? A number sewed on the back of Brlckley's Jersey wouldn't lessen his goal. kicking ability in the leu, hut it would always enable the ape. taturs to identify the Crimson captain. And this is the sole purpose of the reform. . Judging fiom the aftermath of the "In- I terpretatton meeting" of tho football , roar hen, rule makers and otllcials In New ' Vork Saturday night, there are some , louche who would find a muthr-d to i evade the lule passed by the committee lat winter forbidding the , oach to walk j up and down the side lines. Some astute individual pointed out trial since tne rules do not speclfiiallv order the coach to tuke a seat on the bench with the play ers, he might be eligible to a't as ope of the linesmen, and that In this posi tion he would be right on top of the p'ay. and. If he desires and could get sway with It, he might still coach or j watch the woik of his players. That sort of an evasion might be technicallv possloie If the men In charge of Intercollegiate football were not gen tlemen But this sort of trickery is foreign to all intercollegiate ethics and ' wouldn't be tolerated for a moment by any self-respecting university It is also reported that as a result of the discussion at this meeting a request will lie tent out to the members of the Rules Com mittt.e asking them to vote on the prop osition that coa, hes be allowed on the side lines by mutual agreement of the two captains, no matter what the rules say on il)l point- j As a matter of fait the content of the Rules Committer U not necesiiv to do itiM o f t e vf r' r-j'e in th' r o k o a b lllsl. ,ldtd bv It l m'U 1 ,1 .,f the tvvci .ti(ilatu- ih in in, i uf lli- football Rules Committee represent no one In particular, nnd if the two cap tains acreed a touchdown might count ten points as xvell as six. At the rame time the authority of the Rules Com mittee hns been accepted without ques tion, arii! If a precedent were started by which two teamR would disrcgaril this particular rule and flaunt Intercollegiate sentiment It wouldn't be long before they might be xx'nlvlng some other rules nnd wc would have all kinds of trouble. The only objection made to the rule Is that It prohibits honest coaches from utilizing this position to xxntch the work of their men, and they can get this In formation onlv fiom the preliminary games. It Is rather late In the day to taise this point, and since the rule is on the book it ought to be observed to the letter. There is no more reason why a foot hall coach should be on the field than that there Is for a track coach to be on the track during a dual or Intcicolleglate meet. The 1. C. A. A. A. A. forbids nil tialner3 and coaches from being on the truck or xxlthin the enclosure during a championship meet. For the same reasons coaches are barred from track nnd field in all the Important dual meets.
