KING FOOTBALL MOBILIZING MANY RESERVISTS -PHILLIES IN TTO GAMES TODAY
SPINNING COIN
LAST DETAIL FOR
WORLD'S SERIES
Braves and Athletics Having
Easy Time Phillies Meet
Cubs in Double-header
Here This Afternoon.
Practically the only matter of Im
portance In the major leagues which
has been left undone Is the spinning of
the coin to decide whether the first
Barnes shall be played In Philadelphia or
In Boston. While neither the Athletics
nor the Braves have mathematically
captured the flans In their respective
IcnRUes, nothltiB short of an earth
quake can head the present leaders.
The Olants tost their last chance es
terday when they were beaten twice In
the course of four hours at the Polo
Grounds by Miller HilRKlns' band of
former contenders. During that period
of time the Braves uero evening mat
ters with the Cincinnati Beds, thus
drawing further away from tho metro
politan e-nemy. Should the New York
ers, by some strange freak of fortune,
be able to capture their Inst thirteen
games, the Braves would have to win
eight out of their final fourteen.
That the Olants have completely Inst
heart was evident In their second game
with St. Louis. The first contest was
close, but when the Olants finally lost
out, they appeared to give up nil hope
for the pennant, allowing themselves to
b shot to pieces b the shower of hits
and run? made by the St. Louis club.
Hank O'Day's much-buffeted players
will be seen again this afternoon at
Broad and Huntingdon streets. A
double-header N scheduled, to begin at
1-.10 o'clock. The heavy batting of tho
rhllllcs vesterday showed the Cubs
plainly that the Palsies are still trying
to win games.
KING FOOTBALL

I King Football expect to reign supreme
The football outlook around the East
this year Is unusually Interesting. Yale
I occupies the spotlight, not because l Is
i expected to "clean up" this fall, but be-
' cause Frank Hlnkey Is buck to coach
Old Ell's pigskin waiilors. The prospect
of this former Blue star putting In a win.
nlng team theie Is very doubttut. The
I task Is too great. In the minds of football

I something to be reckoned with and the
seemingly Impossible may be accom-
I pllshrd. Hlnkey' efforts, at any rate,
will be closely watched.

has tried out n large number of candl-
dates. His policy seems to be that every
fman who reports Is going to get a chance.
He eems to want to s"o for himself what

You may call this autumn weather If
you wish, but It does not matter to the
weather maker. The thermometer has
been up In the TAs for several days, and
It might as welt be midsummer. No
man Is wearing a straw hat. either. Not
a. bit like the usual football period, is it?
Maybe the Columbia University nine Is
favored bv the weather man, as we
notice the New Yorkers are havins their
fall baseball practice.
Here's what Balrd Leonard fays:
M'OIUW TO THE GIANTS,
Too late for flags, too late for coin.
Too late, too late!
You loitered on the road too long.
You trifled at the gate;
Each summer came you might have won
Comes back In ghostly state.
You slept while Stalllng's Boston Bravee
Were making love to Fate,
To see them crack beneath the strain
We now must stand and wait.
Three years ago, two years a;o,
One jear ago.
Even then you passed the post In time,
Though somewhat slow,
But you uere plalng better ball
Than jou today can show,
Marquard would sometimes win a game,
The Chief could throw
Thinls you the gods mil never grant
Four pennants in a row?
Certain spectators appear to Imagine
that when they buy a ticket at the gate,
It entitles hem to abuse the ball players.
The players do not lend hearty support
to the idea.
A cheap way to commit suicide: Asls
one of the Giants what he Intends to do
with his share of the world's series
money.
In announcing the world's series will
commence October S. Ban Johnson says:
"It Is our aim to start and finish the
series as early as possible." Well, we
do not know who'll start it, but after
watching the Athletics for some years
we can imagine who'll finish It as early
as possible.
At last Mathewson's prediction has
come true. The Braves have begun to
crack the baseball
Lavender Is suspected by the Phllly '
players of having used the "emery ball"
In yesterday's game. Jt Is true that De
tective Rlgler. after an exhaustive
search of Jimmy's person, was unable
to locate the magic paper but the ball
which Jimmy was on the verge of
throwing- showed a slight abrasion If
Jimmy had the paper he must be a,
legerdemain artist, for there wasn't even
sJjrn of It. Not only is he that awful
thing, but he Is also akin to the chame
leonstarting out Lavender, he turned
red. then blue at the finish. ;
Five times the ball was sent caroming
against the right new wan in uw
Philly-Cubs' game. Becker's drive
struck directly on top, hesitated a
moment, then bounded away Into Broad
street, nnd one more spectator was
added to the SXI who were already
present.
Howard Berry Is playing a rattling good
sramo for tho Penn scrubs at fullback.
Berry is an all-around football plaver as
well as an all-around athlete He Is
probablv the best quarterback that has
entered Penn since Stevenson's clay. Un
fortunately he will not be eligible until
next season because he played on Muhl
cnburg last year. This Is the uame Berry
the Phillies and Athletics attempted to
land. Unquestionably Berry will ulti
mately become a professional ball player,
but he has not decided with which club
he will sign.
A dash of "VI yards for a touchdown was
made by "Ted" Merrill on Franklin Flold
yesterdny. He l the hero today.
Charles Ebbotts will probably declare
a half holiday In Brooklyn and have an
other dedication of the stadium If the
Dodgers continue their winning streak to
a doien. They have now won eight In
a row.
Already thoe baseball citizens who
have never visited the City of Concen
trated Culture are learning the names of
the hotels and mailing certified checks
for room reservations.
Poor old Cincinnati Reds' Thev started
out to win the National League pennant.
j After discovering that It couldn't be
done, they started out to make a world's
, record for straight games lost. After
i reaching the count of 15 they were forced
to win from Boston. The, Pirates hold
the Marathon record for games lot with
S3. Prior to this performance tho old
Louisville club, of the National League,
had the honor with 21 games dropped In
succession.
Ehbets sav3 he has taken In a pot of
rronev on the olglit straights by the
JtrooMyns. That number of straights will
win any pot.

Stable Accommodations nt Coining
Races Are Not Sufficient.
BALTIMORE. Sept. "I.
Although there are accommodations for
Sji) odd horses within the gates of the
racing plant of the Maryland State Fair,
thee will be Insufficient to meet the
demand of the many horsemen who have
planned tn rare at the coming mooting
at Lain el Park. When new stalls for
M'J tqulncs were elected recently It was
thought that everbody could be tnkfii

abandoned for the coming meeting.

town of Liure:. and from pie-rent in

Registration Likely to be Heaviest in

It is expected that the registration of
Pennsylvania hunters for 1011-1913 will
rival that of last ear, when approxi
mately 30t.rvn) hunters took out tho
papers requited to permit them to hunt.
In addition It Is estimated that morn
than 10Vi farmers, their families or
their tenants hunted un their own lands
last ear, taking advantage of the pro
vision In the law enabling them to do
so without biinir licensed. The estimates
arc being based upon reports made of

GRIDIRON NEWS GLEANED FROM LEADING COLLEGE CAMPS
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
George H. Brooke '4s gradually work
ing out his backflcld problem at Penn
sylvania. The return of Avery and the
rare kicking ability no has shown have
been enough to gladden the hearts ot
Brooke and his assistants. Avery showed
lots of ability as a backtleld player last
jear. and towards the end of the season
was beginning to develop Into a good
kicker. Then came first one Injury and
then another, with the result that he
was never able to do himself justice.
His last year's experience must have
benefited him. and with the Improve
ment In kicking which ho has been dem
cnstratlng for the last few days, ho
ought to bo a star back and sure of a
permanent place.
It was a treat to watch Avery kick
yesterday. He hns maatcred a twisting
punt that soars high and far and re
minds one of the punts which made
Marshall Ueynolds. of the JS01 team, so
famous. Not a man playing down the
field under his kicks yesterday could
handle 50 per cent, of them- Several of
them got away so well that they drew
words of admiration from Brooke him
self, who was a past master in all
kinds of kicking. Avery hasn't yet
mastered the art of getting his kick
away quickly, but thJt Is a detail whtcn
can be corrected as the season ad-

line breaker and manipulates the forward

The Quaker football management has
ohown good judgment In Its handling of
the frebhman squad. That could n t be
gald of some previous years. ThU year
the importance of good coaching and
handling of the youngsters has been rec.
ognlzed. and there Is now a board of

Grttysburr College comes here Satur
day to open the season on the gridiron
with the University of Pennsylvania
eleven. The bnttlePield boys are not mak
inn any claims to scoring touchdowns or
even holding the score' down against the
Pennsylvania team, but they guarantee
that they will place on the Held a very
lively lot of men. For bo early the
Oettysbiug boys have had some good stilt
scrimmages, and In this respect they will
have an advantago on Pennsylvania.
They have had over a week's more work
ai.tl have a few plays working fairly
smoothly. The team has a fair number
of veterans on Its list, of which the most
notable Is their quarterback Hoar, who
has played so brilliantly for them the last
two years. He was their bright star last
fall here and he is playing even better
lhnn ever this fall. He Is n deadly tackier
and very fast, a very hard man to get by
in the open field. Buchler. Weimer.
Jielllnger and McCtilloch are again tho
b'ukhi.ne of the line which Penn will find
fairly stiff though not very heavy. Schef

ATHLETICS BOOKED
TO CLASH WITH
CALLAHAN'S CLAN
Connie Mack Not 111 at Ease
Over Race Which Red
Sox Are Putting Up
Against His Champions.
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 2l.-Connle Mack
will send his players to battle today with
the club which hns always given the
champions a fight. There hns never been
a time In recent years when the Mack
men were able to predict with any degree
of certainty a victory over the White Sox.
Harry Davis remarked that the chief rea
son for this wns that tho Kroun3s at
Comlskey Park had a peculiar effect on
the playing of the Athletics, first, becauso
of the soft Infield, and secondly, becauso
of the direction of tho sun with reference
to the playing; field, as It lo different from
any other diamond In the league.
Despite these things. Mack l deter
mined that his men shall win. Ho Is not
doing any vast amount of worrjliiB over
Ihe result, but he wants to got the race
over nt the earliest possible date In order
to'glve his men time to recuperate from
the season's lens strain before the aeries
begin.
Today the Athletics have a lead ot Mi
gnmes. one-hnlf of a game less than tho
advantage enjoyed by their National
League rivals from Boston. Nevertheless,
the Mackmcn feel that this Is more than
an ample distance ahead of the lied Sox.
There Is a queer argument which has
been put up In Boston referring to the
relative strength of the Tied Pox and
Athletics, The Hub followers claim that
because th Bed Sox have won the ma
jority of the gnmes plnycd against the
Athletics this year they should win the
pennant.
Such an argument Is quite absurd, be
cause Boston has tried to keep her best
pitchers to work ng.ilnut the Athletics
Instead of shooting them In agnlnst somo
other club which ultimately won games.
On the other hand, Mack has made no
effort to save anything for Boston. Tho
McGllllcudlan policy Is to win by tak
ing everv game as It comes on the sched
ule, or, rnther. In trying to take every
one. After leaving Chicago the Athletics
go to St. Louis for two games. The
curtailed scries In St. Louis Is mad"
pr-sslble by the long series of five Barnes
played by the Mackmen against he
Browns on the first Western trip taken
by the champions this year.
Dean Sturgis. former Bucknell College
catcher, who has been with the Ath
letics all season until recently, is trying
out with the Pittsburgh Pirntcs. Mack
still owns the player, as he was forced
to allow him to sign a "college con
tract." which prevents the player being
sent to anv other club, either In the
minors or majors, without his own con
sent. Sturgis realized that he was not
making a great hit with Mack hence
he went to the Pirates for a tryout when
ho discovered that they would give him
a chance.
