Disciplining; I.iskIiis football players by
dropping them from a training table Is
something new in sridlron stratesy. But
hereafter any man who partakes of the
carefully selected food at the Pennsyl
vania tralnlnc table will have to play
football up to the standard set by Coach
Ucorfie II. Hrooke. This training table Is ,
! to be an exclusive place, and a seat there
1 will be a seat of honor. Klevcn players
found that out yesterday. '
This Is distinctly a Pennsylvania Inno
vation, and tho idea Is a Rood one. There '
Is no ground for any of the men dropped
I yesterday and sent back to their own
I homes or boarding houses to set their
meals to feel that they have been unfairly
dealt with. Kvery phiyer now knows that
he has set before him a standard of edl
1 ciency which, if he maintains, will assure
hlin a place of honor ut the Quaker ti .lin
ing table. Failure to meet It means that I
I he will be summarily dropped. Still there
will be no limit to the number of players,
who may be at the table. As Captain
Journeay said, In commenting on thu
1 new rule, they would have W men at the
I table If 50 men could be found who meas- '
I ured up to their standard. I

the coach's part that put new life Into I
the Quaker eleven yesterday. Anyhow,
the varsity regulars went at the scrubs
with more spirit than they have shown
any time this seaton. In IS minutes" time
the regulars took the ball across the
FLrubs1 goal line three times. Two of the

Having set a new mark for complete,
reversal of form, tho Boston Braves are
now prepared to give battlo to the Ath
letics for tho world's baseball champion
ship. This National ague club, whosa
movements on tho field have been directed
during tho last two years by George.
Stalllngs, has upset precedent by making
the most remarkablo pennant run ever
recorded In the major leagues.
Connie Mack once remarked thnt It tonic
five yearn to build up a winner. Stalllngs
has demonstrated that If there aro any
rules regarding the development of a tr!
umphant club, there arc exceptions. Hi
has mndn the pennant prognostlcators ot
the land look foolish by coming to the
fore In an almost miraculous manner,
when It wns generally forecasted that his
club would not finish a good eighth.
Thero wore a few, very few, who. prior
to the opening of tho National League,
averred thnt Stalltngs' men had a chanca
to win tho pennant.
Tho question concerning the Boston
club's race to the Hag Is not "Now you
have won It, what aro you going to do
with It?" but "How did you do it?" Just
how Is Indeed a matter that puzzles tho
baseball world. Tho simple answer, ot
course. Is that the Brnvcs played tha
best ball In tho National League. But
what forces combined to bring about tint
condition? Briefly, thero were six rea
sons: Stalllngs, Kvcrs, Maranvillc, Jame,
Tyler and Rudolph.
Beginning with the crack of the gun
on April 11 tho Brnvcs wcro off. ' But
they were not oft Into the lead, They
soon dropped down nnd remained near
the small end of the percentage column
until after July IS. On thnt date Stall
lngs" team was being given a dally
tnngun lushing by the verbose leader.
Suddenly the team awoke. On July 21
the Braves had, thnnks to tho clots
grouping of the other clubs, Jumped Into
fourth place. From then until August
the Braves seemed to be Immovable, but
on August 10 they went Into second place.
It was Just at this period of the rac
that McGrnw, who had been leading, hap
pened to look back, Hn had to rub hla
eyes twice before he believed ho was
gazing on the Boston team.
Kven then no one seriously considered
the Diavs as a pennant possibility ex
cept Stalllngs nnd the Braves themselves.
Apparently they knew then their power,
nnd It was partly this confidence that
helped them to wield It.
But to get back to dates. The Brave
continued In second place from August 3
until .Septembir 3, when they drew along
side the Giants, much to McGraw's sor
row. Then It wns thnt tho Giants awoke.
But It was too late. McGraw opened
the throttle, but there wns a leakage It
tho power. Matty was not going well,
Mnrriunrd was doing porrly nnd the n
tire New Vork club was demoralized at
the thought of having their plans for
spending the world's scries so rudely
upset.
But all this time Stalllngs' men wer
not figuring on the series money. They
were on tho field playing ball every af
ternoon except when It rained. The hot
fljht through September between tha
Braves nml the Giants will long bo re
membered. Confidence tvas on the slrts
of tho Braves, nnd ovcrconlldencc, which
soon changed to desperation, on the sld
of the Giants.
The Brnvci were victorious and after
that date they wero never topped by Ne
Voik. though the Gothamltes made a de
termined tight until tho finish yesterday.
Tho figures rhnvv that It took ths
Braves only a trlflo over six weeks to
go from last to first place and only
llttlo over two months, from July 1'. t0
clinch the flag nnd give. the fans of Bos
ton a pennnnt In tho National I-cagus
for the llrst time In sixteen years.
The bulk of the credit for winning th
ixnnant should b given George Stal
llngs. Ho Is a brainy ball player. This
must be admitted by everyone, no mat
ter what their personal opinions of thf
manager may be when lie Is not on tn
bench He has mado a pennant wlnnlns
club of five ball placrs.
It is obvious to ono who has followed
the rising fortunes of the Braves that
Stall'ngs cannot be given the entire
credit for winning. Inasmuch as he couia
not have aceonirrtlshed It had any one
of the five plnyers nlrendy named been
unable to perform. Matnnvllle, who per

stuff. Hvers probably has more snap
on the ball field than any man in m
