Tied with Giants.
Since gaining the lend on September
S, when they defeated the Giants In
the docidlns game of a series In Bos
ton, the Braves have not been headed.
During the Ions ipurt from July IS to
September S, the Braves won 34 and
lost 10 Raines, and while at the top In
sole possession of the berth. h:ul
Rained 13 vlitories in IS Rames up to
yesterday. On July 6, when the Bravoc
were supposed to be anchored for the
season In last place, with 26 victories
and 40 defeats, the uplift movement
began with a double victory over the
Dodgers, and slnet that date the
Braves have won 6 and lost 16 games,
a percentage of ,7S4.
Having set a new mark for complete
levcrxnl ,,f f. rm, the Boston Braves ar
now prepared to rIvc battle to the Ath
letics for the world's baseball champion
ship. This National League club, wh-se
movements on the tleld have been directed
during Me last two years by George
StalllnRs. has unset precedent by making
the most rcmarkuble pennant run ever
recorded In the major league-.
Connie Mack once remarked that It took

when It was Rcnerally forecasted that his

"Thcie Tere a few. very few, who, prior

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. JO.
Mr. Garrison, Secretary of War, yes
terday recommended to the West I'oint
athletic authorities that all negotiations
with Annapolis for the arrangement of
future football Rams he abandoned. This
action ended the unsuccessful attempts
of representatives of the two academies
to select a site for the Inter-servlce con
test. The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Daniels,
and Mr. Garrison were appealed to to
settle this question. Both of them sided
with West I'oint, but tho Naval Academv
representatives refund to yield. Mr. Gar
rison then advii-ed West Point to call thi
negotiations off.
This dispute has now continued for sev
eral months, and there Is little question
that the deadlock and Mr. Garrison's
drastic recommendations wdl prevent any
game this yenr nnd even seriously
threaten the continuance of this yearly
contest on the Rrldlron between the Army
and the Vavy.
Th Navy now objected to this scheme
because 't discovered that Washington
has not the facilities to handle the game
nnd th. most Southern point which the
Navy could obtain would be Philadelphia
That would place the game everv other
year In New York and on the alternate
year ln Philadelphia. With such an ar
rangement the Nnvv would have bv far
the greater dlManeo to travel, would he
put to greater expnsp and would lose the
advantage in the R.ime which n short

PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT
By EDWARD B. BUSHNELL
Disciplining lagging football players by
dropping them from a training table Is
something new In gridiron strategy. But
hereafter any man who partakes of the
carefully selected food at the Pennsyl
vania training table will have to play
football up to the standard set by Coach
George H. Biooke. This training table Is
to be an exclusive place, and a seat there
will be a seat of honor. Hleven players
found that out yesterday.
This Is distinctly a Pennsylvania Inno
vation, and tho idea is a good one. There
Is no ground for any of the men dropped
yesterday and sent back to their own
homes or boaidlng houses to get their
meals to feel that they have been unfairly
dealt with. Every player now knows that
he has set before him u standard of elll
clency which, if he maintains, will assure
him a place uf h-nor at the Quaker train
ing t lhle. Failure to meet It means that
he will be summai!l dropprd. Still there
will be no limit to the number of players
who may be at the table. As Captain
Journeay said, In commenting on tho
new rule, they would have W men at the
table if 50 mm could be found who meas
ured up to their standard.
Porhaps it was this drastic ruling on
the coach's part that put new life into
the Quaker eleven estcnlay. Anyhow,
the varsity regulais went at the scrubs
with more spirit thnn the have shown
any time this season. In 15 mluutt-s' time
the regulars took tho ball across tho
scrubs' goal line three times. Two of th
touchdowns weie made by Merrill and
the third by Av-ry. This big halfback
took a long forward pass from Irwin, who
replared Merrill at quarterback, and then
d ished 41 yards dow n the Held fur the
touchdown.
