HANK O'DAY AN
l AVOWED ENEMY
OF "EMERY BALL"
Cub Leader Opposed to Use
of Saliva Trick Chicago
Will Meet Phillies Again
This Afternoon.
Hank O Day, manager of the Cub?,
who will meet the Phillies in the Inst
game of the series tills afternoon, the
weather permitting, is un Atoned enemy
of the "emery ball" anil the "spit ball."
Just because Jimmy Lavender, one of
Honk's own men. la believed to hac
used emery paper against the Mills re
cently has no elfeet on the beliefs of
the Chicago leader.
In the appended terms Hank gave
his views on the uso of emery paper
and saliva, as first aids to the pitcher:
"I have always contended that the 'spit
hall was out of order. It Is foreign to
the fame, and 1 think that anything
foreign to the game should be ruled
out. By the same token I think the
timplies, or si'tne olio, should pi event the
further use of emery paper, which helps
the pitcher a great deal because the
ball break!" peculiarly."
"A lot of peoplo think that the 'emery
ball' Is a now Institution." continued
O'Day, "but it Isn't, of course, the use
of emery paper Itself Is a novelt, but
es for rubbing the ball with a substanco
that will have the same effect as emery
paper, that Is almost as old as the
game. I remember when a certain
pitcher back In the old National League
used to keep a brick, partly burled In
the box. on which he would rub the
ball and get It fuzzy, so that It would
take sudden hops.
"Contrary to popular belief, the pitcher
does not grip the ball whMo it has been
rubbed. Doing that would no doubt
make the ball break more sharply, be
cause of the added spin which th"
ptlcher would get on It, but the idea
of the 'emery ball' Is to have ,i section
of the surface rough and to hold that
surface beneath the hand when the ball
Is delivered. This fuzzy Mirfncc offers
resistance to the air and as a natural
consequence the ball will take a fast
jump, whether it Is a fast one or a
curve.
"Just to show how this thing works
out, I once knew a pitcher who came
from the Teas League, where the dia
monds wcrr bare. In that league, after
a ball was hit few times It became more
or less fuzzy, and the result was that the
pitchers could curve them sometimes tlve
or six feot When this same pitcher was
lven a chance in the major 1,-agues he
was completely lost. b-caus. on the grass
vllamomU the balls remained smooth on
the surface and this fellow couldn't get
it to break because he had been nocus
tomed to grip otic which was not smooth.

CHICAGO. III. Sept Il-Kddlc Hank,

the main pitching burden In the world's

Until very near the close of the cam

ability the event would bo held here
sometime this fall, aa several of the
local huBtllnK athletic cubs were bidding
for tho honor.
The Germantown Boys' Club, It Is said
upon good authority, la eager to hold tho
event, but the names of the other or
ganizations In the field were not named
An ideal cross-country run could be staged
In Kalrmount Park, and It will be pleas
ing news to tho local hill and dale ath

of the national race being decided here.
A number of local athletes are training
for the track meet to b held October 3.
at the Northeast High School field The
Hale ci Kllburn A. A. is tho promoting
organization Entries close with E. J.
Rankin, 1K6 Chestnut street, next Mon

athletic followers will have another big
feature of sport. An announced In these

GRIDIRON NEWS GLEANED FROM LEADING COLLEGE CAMPS
Pennsylvania Opens Up Its Sea
son With Gettysburg Here and
Fur is Sure to Fly With Teams
in Shape.
By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELL
Every day marks some development
for the better In the making of Penn
sylvania's backflcld. First Head Coach
Brooke brought about a decided Im
provement in the kicking. The return
of Avery Rave the Quakers a b.tckfleld
man who could set distance and height
to his punts. In addition to Avery two
other promitinR backflcld men have
shown decided Improvement in the kick
ing line. They arc Irwin and Ballon,
ilval candidates for the quarterback
pcsltlon Irwin has been used at quar
ter with more regularity than Ballou.
and likewise has been used to do more
kicking, but the latter has nluady made
his reputation as a kicker, anil when
the time corn's it Isn't likely that he
will be outklcked by any one, with thu
possible exception of Avery.
Yesterday Brooke concentrated his
preliminary coaching on teaching all thu
backfleld candidates to catch kicks and
run them hack through a broken field.
In this woik Merrill and Hughes hav
been showing the best form. Biooke
ii.ed this kind of ptactlce to teach his
men the art of straight-arming oncom
ing tacklers and shifting the b.ill from
arm to arm as they run, in order to
better protect themtels. It was Mer
rill who starred at this work In Wed
nesday's scrlmmag", but yesterday
Hughes did quite ns well, making sev
eral sensational runs, In both of which
he out-sprinted a Held of tackleis and
added to his effectiveness by his clevet
dodging and stralght-ai-mlng. A good
open field lunner mu'-t master this art.
and It augurs well for the future of
the Quaker backfleld that so many of
the men are doing It so well In prac
tice. There will be no scilmmage todny be
cause the coaches wish to give the men
a complete rest for the Gettysburg
game tomorrow. Tho tremendous heat
of the past week has resulted In a loss
of weight with every man on the squad.
To some of tho men tills was fortu
nate, but others have suffered. Still n
scrimmage practice was absolutely nec
essary to secure the hardening required
for a game.
Prlncetou men are showing a great deal
of elation ov-r the fine woik of Holand,
the former Lafayatte plaer now- at
Princeton. Boland was the life of the
Tiger scrubs Inst year and lie promises
to develop Into one of the stars of the
varsity backficld this fall. He Is so
fast and strong that It takes a mighty
good man to handle him On top of this
ability he heaves the forward pass with
unusual acctnaiy and skill. In every
respect hft promises to give Princeton
tl.e combination man that the Tigers
lacked In their baLkflold last year.
All the big teams of tho Kast will get
Into aitlon tomorrow Pennsylvania's
Initial contest will be with Gettysburg,

PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT
Some guys don't have to have much
pep to make a llvln' on their rep an'
never do a tap. An' I don't blame 'em,
understand. If he gets by I nhake the
hand o' that there sort o' chap. Take big
Jim Thorpe, world's athlete champ. His
work'd hardly tiro a tramp. An' yet I'm
strong for Jim. He's In his third year
with McGraw an' I guess no one ever
saw a full gnme played by him.
Perhaps two dozen times a year you'll
see the Indian's name nppear In eome
New York box score. In pinches Muggsy
trots him out to run for some one or to
clout when pitchers' arms go sore. An'
when ho does get In the fray he man
ages to get away with somethln' pretty
good. He bats up near the ol' charmed
line an' though he rets no chance to
nhtne you sort o' b'lleve he could.
One baseball season's all he's played.
An' that was 'fore his rep was made as
athlete extra-ply. He played In Caro
lina's hills down there where corn is fed
to stills for fear folks might get dry. If
all tho Indian wan us la fame he doesn't
havo to play the game his rep Is safe
right now. He copped off sportdom's
Clolden Fleece an" with It wandered back
from Greece with laurels on his brow
Copyrighted by A. M. Corrlgan.
Fred Clarke will retire from baseball at
the close of the present season. He will
not manage the Pirates ngaln until next
spring.
Terchance you are enthuslantlc over
Jack Curley's plan to match Johnson and
Wlllard. If so, pause and reflect on the
fact that Curley once was a wrestling
promoter.
AUTUMN.
Deep silence settles down upon the land.
The baseball scribe has little work to do.
And so he takes IiIa trenchant pen In hand
And calmly cans a. manager or two.
Allentown's fair is proving to be the
greatest event In the history of that com
munity. Tho harness races have been
real treats, and therefore from the sports
man's vlnwpolnt all that could be de
sired. Splendidly trained animals scored
down to the line, and fast time was made
In all of the races.
A good crowd Is likely to be attracted
to Franklin Field tomorrow as Penn will
entertain Gettysburg's football band. The
battle should be a merry spectacle, and
not so one-sided, ns the visitors have
some star players who will make the lo
cals hustle.
The Germans evidently have the Inter

Nlckerson Is secretary of the Braves.
The tickets In Boston will be sold singly,
In pairs or In lots of three. Those mak
Ing applications will have the beat chance
to make their purchases by getting the
lots of three, as the club management

In Freddie Hnrt, trainer, tho Chicago
Cubs have a perfectly paradoxical per
son. Things dismal, gloomy and funeral
delight the soul of this remarkable man.
He Is never happy unless he Is saddened
by some mournful mission. Last even

called to witness nn operation. The pre

Freddie In Philadelphia's most palacls!

a short distance cast of the Cubs' hotel

turned he was armed with photographs of
satin-lined coffins, "couches beautiful"
and mausoleums. On his trips to New

beaming with Joy, for ha visits Grant's
tomb, the morgue and friendly disposed
