EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, J-IfESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1914.
I MACKMEN ENTER UPON THEIR SECOND TRAINING PERIOD-PENN OARSMEN REPORT
RECORD NUMBER OF
OARSMEN REPORTED
TO COACH NICKALL8'
ATHLETICS WILL
BEGIN ANOTHER
TRAINING SIEGE
Collins and Baker Arrived at
Noon Others Will Fol
low Later Macks and
Phillies Idle Today.
Following a highly successful but not
a close and exciting campaign Against the
American League allies, Connie Mack's
six-time champion, are on the verge
of their second training season of tho
year. At noon today Eddie Collins and
Frank Baker arrived. Other members
of the squad nho will be coming Into
Philadelphia within the ne.xt 24 hours are
Bender, Plank, Davis, Schang, Barry,
Oldrlng, and possibly Strunk and Mc
Innls. All bf these players will take a few
days' rest while the Athletics are play
ing out their schedule In Washington.
Baker Is going to take a day or so off
for the purpose of visiting his farm at
Trappe, Md., where he will keep the edge;
on his batting eye by using the shotgun.
Eddie Collins will engage chiefly In rest
at his home In Lansdovvne, with a little
literary work thrown In. He Is going to '
write a few advance stories for the Eve.v- i
wo Ledger with reference to the world's
series
The other members of tho club who will
be In Philadelphia will divide their time
between complett rest and light work at
Shlbe Park, lth the exception of Plank,
who is booked to visit his friends anil rela
tives in Gettysburg, Pa. "Chief" Bender,
who, with Plank, will do the bulk of the
Athletics' defense work In the series, will
play golf.
-Mack himself will probably be In Wash
ington tomorrow. He will, as usual,
leave all of the business details of the
series to John Shlbe and his corps of
assistants, while he devotes hN entire
time to planning for the series' battles.
There are several oungstors on Con
nie's string who will be worked against
tho Nationals In Washington, nmi these
will be given a careful review.
Today the main body of the Athletics
Is advancing Eastward. Those pl.icrs
who are sentenced to the Washington
scries will switch off at Harrlsburg.
while the others will come through t,
this city. No game is on tho schedule,
hence the Mackmen took their time and
boarded a comparatively late train out
of St Louis yesterday
Charles Dooln's Phillies are likewise
idle. The game on the schedule today
was played last Saturday and was one
of the brace captured by the locals from
Cincinnati. Tomorrow the Phillies will
begin their final home s-eries of the car,
meeting the Brooklyn Dodgers at Broad
and Huntingdon streets.
Club officials of the Phillies are reti
cent on the subject of Huns Lobeit's
nppointment to the managership of the
Phillies to succeed Charles Dooin It is

trouble is that he has some lurking fear

PLQILISTIC NOTE
Morris and Flynn are at it ag'in
By EDWAHD B. BUSHNELL
Princeton and Yale have burned their
bridges behind them In their determina
tion to play nothing but open, advanced
football Both Coach Pendleton, of
Princeton, and Coach Hlnkey, of Yale,
declare that they have abandoned the
conservative game and Intend to stand
or fall by the open game. This Is In
deed welcome news, because It can't be
denied that In the past the games be
tween these two teams have been fre
quently about as dull as most Army.
Navy games, with the two teams afraid
to open up.
Apparently the coaches of both insti
tutions have awakened to tho fact that
n developing the possibilities of open
football their predecessors have only
scratched the surface. There's a lot of
truth In this. For one thing, they have
been too much afraid of losing posses
sion of the ball to try much else but
close formation play, varied by an oc
casional forward pass, though most of
the forward passes have been used as a
last resort when eerthlng elqe had
failed.

Assistant Coach "B" Dlck.son is snl

Pennsylvania system requires that tho
ends shnll bo heavy men to play against
the opposing tackle. This requirement
Is what makes Murdock's effort to win n
position here so difficult. Murdock in will

at the Hotel As tor last night in the first !
same of a tt-polnt combination match
st both Ensllih and American billiards,
Inman's score for the opening pesslon
was 6W to Hoppe's 301. The Englishman
averaged 57 3-U, while Hoppe's average
was 13 13.22
The match continues throughout tho
week, 1S.2 American bulk line being the
game for this afternoon and tonight.
Inman showed himself to be the master
of tne English style of play and decidedly
outclassed his American opponent. It
Is claimed, however, by Hoppe's friends,
that the youthful American champion will
more than make up for last night's defeat
when the American game is played today
The two stjles of play are decidedly
dltferent, the balk line game being played
on a 5x10 table without pockets, while
the English game Is played on a 6x12
table with six pockets.
The majority of those who saw the con
test last night are of the opinion that
the Ensllah game will never become popu

IN PACING MATCH
Loss of Young arid Kerr
Severely Felt by Coach
Howell, Who Is Shaping
Team for Opening Game.
i
Coach Howell, of the Central HlBh School
football team. Is working his men hard
In order to get them In shape for the
first game of the season next Friday.
The centro of the lino and bickflold are
composed of veterans, nnd h- is not glv
$ as much of his time to these posi
tions as he la to the ends. Last year
C. 11. S. had the best pair of scholastic
ends In Philadelphia In Young nnd Kerr,
but neither man Is now In school, and
the material for the wing positions is
not very good.
The most likely of the candidates are
DcLong, Brenner and Goodell, and it Is
probablo that the first two of these will
make the regular berths, although the
latter, who Is from Villanova, Is very
fast and may make n place on the team.
Coach Dickens, the new man In
charge of football and other athletics at
Chestnut Hill Academy, has been work-
ins' since last Wednesday with n, promis
ing squad of joungsters to get them In

WILLIAMS PROVED
ONCE MORE THAT -HE
IS A WONDER'
Rugged "Kid" Herman, of
Pekin, 111., Managed to
Stay Four Rounds at
Olympia Last Night.
To the surprise of many experts whs
thought they saw In "Kid" Herman, of
Pekin, III., a future champion, Kid Will
lams, of Baltimore, holder of the world's
championship title, easily outboxed, out
slugged and finally knooked out ths little
westerner In four rounds at ths Olympls
A. A., last night.
The bout brought out ' roord crowd
and long before the first bout was put on
every seat In the house was filled, an
there were hundreds standing. The bojl
were to have weighed In at 118 pound
but the champion was a quarter of
pound overweight. Herman entered thl
ring first, and took the corner which
Williams has always occupied in all h"
contests hefnrA the. Olvmnlft Club. Will
lams wanted Herman to live him W
favorite corner, but Herman was obdurst
and after a ten-mlnuto wrangle Wlll!ni
took the other corner.
The preliminaries were all good. In ths
drst one "Kddle" Rivers won a hot
slon from "Jack" Campbell; Charlie Rw
had a shade on "Young" Wilson In '
rounds, and "Kid" Goodman, of X
York, substituting for "Young" Diggln',
who had an Injured hand, outfought
"Jimmy" Murray, a tough Now York boy
who has been doing good work In local
sings lately. The semlwlnd-up was be
tween "Eddie" O'Keefe, of this city, nl
"Dutch" Brandt, of New York. O'Keef
won all the way, although Brandt out
weighed him. five pounds. O'Keefe w '
far too clever for his opponent and
easily on points. ,
fiammy" Harris has an offer tor K
Uilllams to meet "Abe" Attell before Tun

Williams get a sood Ions rest during I"
summer and then send him arter Ins 'r
notehets In the featherweight class ,'
Onures that by that time ail the little fel
win be beaten.
Old timers who have seen the o"iJ!f '

have remarked the resemblance c Vr0"" i:
the former featherweight cliajnidon, uf."J 1

of the old champion, but lacks the hl'tJ
