WHITE SOX
JACKSON MAY, AFTER ALL, NOT BE
A GREAT HELP TO THE WHITE SOX
"Shoeless" Joe Hasn't the Right Spirit for Winning Ball
Club, According to Somers and the Scribes of
Cleveland Cheney May Join Phils' Ranks
Cleveland scribes have como to tho defenso of President Somors, who Is being
Justly criticized throughout tho country for selling Joe Jackson, tho slugging out
fielder, whoso work has been tho ono redeeming feature of two dull seasons for
tho fans of the "Sixth City." They point out that Comlskoy was stuck Just as
much an ho paid for Jackson, plus a largo three-year contract, which was signed
a few days ago.
Fans In Cleveland aro not Indignant at tho salo of Jackson, and rcajly rojolco
at tho departure of tho heavy-hitting Southerner, If wo aro to bcllevo that tho
... ... . . . . ... I.- .!... CJnv.nt-a
a acnoes are correct, ana pcrnnps were is
says In his own defense Jackson Is one of thoso players who Is gifted witn won
derful natural abllty, but who Is nothing but a machine.
When It comes to thinking and hustling, Jackson must be counted out, unu
as tho hustling spirit Is oven more necessary than Individual starring, the Whlto
Box may bo sorry In a few weeks that they mado a purchase which hurt tho
American League moro than Its arrogant president believes.
Tho strong friendship that exists between President Johnson and Owner
Comlskcv. of the Whlto Sox. Is said to have nlaycd an Important part In tho salo
of Jackson, Collins nnd Murphy, and Detroit and Boston fans declaro that John
on Is doing all In his power to help Chicago In tho pennant raco.
But whllo Comlskcy may havo enough money and Johnson enough influence
to give the Whlto Sox all tho star players In tho league, they may lenrn that
spirit and hustle aro by far moro necessary than Jacksons In constructing pen
nant winners. There aro few fans outside Chicago who nro not pulling for tho
Tigers and Red Sox to trim tho Whlto Sox. While Jackson Is a wondorful player,
ho has never shown any of tho traits that go to mako a winner, and perhaps,
after all, this attempt to send tho American League pennant to Chicago may
provo a great lesson to tho magnates In tho end.
Cheney May Become Philly Player
It Is said, and on very good authority, that Larry Cheney may bo a member
of the Phillies In tho near future. If Cheney should be sold to tho Phillies
and should Immediately start winning games, tho fans In other cities would
raise a cry against selling players at this tlmo of tho year to pennant con
tenders, and tho kick would be Justified, but there are a few things In connection
With Cheney's case that need explaining.
A few fans were a bit sceptical about tho chances of tho Phils to got this
star hurlcr and were Inclined to doubt that a deal was under way, but Larry
Cheney has been offered to tho Phillies and will be a member of that team If
Manager Moran Is willing to mako a deal for him, and the Cubs do not want
as much for Cheney as he Is worth.
When In shape Cheney Is one of tho best pitchers In tho land, nnd the general
belief Is that ho would be a marvel under Moran. It Is said that certain players
on the Chicago team have been "riding" Cheney unmercifully for somo time and
that ho would welcome a change. President Thomas admits that ho Is willing to
part with Cheney because of the contract the big spltballer Is carrying. Cheney,
according to rellablo Information, has a two-year contract at 17600, and that
figure Is the ono obstacle that keeps tho Phils from Jumping at tho chance to
get him.
If Cheney could pitch in his 1913 form he would bo worth nlmost any sum to
the Phillies, as they could clinch tho pennant with him, but Moran has no guar
antee, excepting Cheney's word, that tho Chicago star will como through.
Denials probably will bo mado If tho deal Is to fall flat, but local fans can rest
assured that Larry Cheney can bo had If the Phils want him.
Locals Gain in Spite of Defeat
Fortune Is at last smiling on the Phillies. It is seldom that a team can
throw away a chanco for an easy victory, as tho Phillies did In tho first game
yesterday, and still Increase their lead in the pennant race. While the Phillies
got an even break with the Cubs, tho Iteds were defeating tho Dodgers, and
Moran's team gained half a game on Brooklyn.
Ono poor play deprived the Phillies of another full game advantage over the
Dodgers. Captain Luderus, who has been playing heady and brilliant ball
throughout tho season, was guilty of a mental lapso that gave the Cubs tho
first game. Apparently, on tho surface, tho error was purely mechanical, but
when one considers conditions there Is llttlo room for doubting that Luderus
pulled a "bone."
Ball players love to "alibi" poor Judgment by calling It a good play gono
wrong, and perhaps everybody would have voted Luderus a hero had he suc
ceeded In catching Zimmerman off third in the ninth inning, but the fact remains
that he pulled a "bone" in throwing tho ball at all.
Hero's the way the situation came about. With one man out and victory
apparently clinched, Mayer suddenly went wrong, and Schulte and Zimmerman
tore off hits in rapid succession. Tho latter's drive was a doublo and the Cubs
had runners on third and second, with ono out und Saier and Williams duo to hit.
Manager Moran ushered Alexander Into the game to stop the rally. After a long
consultation It was decided to pass Saier to take a chance on Williams and
Phelan.
How the First Game Was Lost
Alexander passed Saier, and the bases were full. Tho wisdom of this was
apparent when Williams tapped an easy grounder to Luderus, on which Schulte
was nailed at the platev- Tho play had worked perfectly, but Luderus was not
willing to let well enough alone. When Klllcfer returned tho ball to him, In hopes
of doubling Williams, the throw was late, but Luderus Baw that Zimmerman was
as much as five feet off third and he tried to catch him napping, but threw to
the stand and permitted both Zimmerman and Saier to score with the winning
run" Without figuring ahead, Luderus might bo easily excused, but when one
stops to consider that Baler had been purposely passed in hopes that Williams
would go out as he did and that Alexander would then have an opportunity to
work on Phelan, a weak right-handed hitter, there is no room for doubting that
Luderus was wrong. In tho first place, Saier was not passed so that tho Phils
could try for a double play on Williams, as has been stated, because tho Infield
played In, realizing that It was next to impossible to doublo Williams, and. In tho
second place, nobody know better than Luderus that ho had mado a bad play,
and It Is not likely It will be repeated. Luderus has won and saved many games
for the Phils this season, and the fans will forget the play, though It deprived
the Phils of a chance to advance.
Hitting Plus McQuillan Does the Work
The terrific batting, of tho entire team and tho consistent pitching of George
McQuillan In the second game caused tho spectators to forget tho loss of tho
first and the manner In which It was lost. Bert Humphries, who In tho past has
been a hard man for the Phillies to beat, was again driven from the mound by
Moran's band. Humphries lasted ono Inning on Saturday and could not go
through two yesterday.
An intentional pass to Eddie Burns, with Whltted on second, proved the
undoing of the big underhand hurlcr. Usually a steady twlrler, with grand con
trol, Humphries suddenly went wrong after this Intentional pass and walked
McQuillan, filling tho bases. Then ho fell all over Stock's Infield tap and followed
With a pass to Bancroft, forcing In a run. Dodo Paskert then sent a line
smash to the bleacher wall for a double, which cleared the bases. Cravath fol
lowed and lifted the ball over Into Broad street for his 18th home run of tho
season. Thereafter the game was a farco, and tho Phillies probably could have
cored, many moro runs had they cored to exert themselves or take chances.
Given such a large lead, McQuillan did not waste his strength, but was
content to let the Cubs hit the ball, depending on his support to get the game
over. In the first two innings, when he was pitching with the game even,
McQuillan showed a better fast ball than he has shown since the Spring of
1608, when ho was the peer of them all until he failed to keep In condition.
When McQuillan was In his prime he had a fast ball that was the wonder
of the National League, and Frank Schulte last night recalled a game "Big
Mac" had beaten the Cubs, In 1908, without using a curve ball for eight innings,
and then be resorted to but two In a pinch. The Phillies were out of the raco at
that time, and McQuillan performed this freak stunt on a bet that he would beat
Chance's famous machine and would not throw more than five curve balls.
The official scorer decided that Alexander Is credited with the defeat Jn the
first game yesterday, but nobody knows how as it has generally been the rule
that the pitcher retiring from tho gamo Is responsible for as many men as are
on the bases when the relief pitcher enters the game, regardless of what hap
pens thereafter. Two Chicago runners were on bases when Alexander entered
th same and according to the way the records havo been figured In the past
Mayer was responsible for both regardless of the fact that ono was cut down
at the plate and that Saier, who scored the winning run, was placed on base
by Alexander's Intentional pass.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES PROVIDE
HEAVIER PENALTIES FOR ROUGHING
More Protection for Fullback and Bar on Interference
With Legs New Forward Pass Provision Out
look Bright for Great Season
The ofllclal football guide, Just Issued
by Spalding, contains several changes In
tho rules. Savo for the elimination of a
few rough spots, the playing code has
not suffered.
Thero Is moro protection for tho full
back, or tho punter, and tho rule bos
been divided Into two parts running Into
tho fullback and "roughing" tho full
back. Running Into tho kicker or passer
la penalized 15 yards and "roughing" the
player calls for a penalty of 15 yards and
disqualification of tho offender.
Intcrfercrs no longer will bo allowed
to knock down tho secondary defense nor
will tho defenso be allowed to run Into
a man after tho whistle blows. Blocking
and Interfering by throwing ono's legs
in the air aro taboo and such a play If
delected by the officials brings down a
lR-jard penalty. This rule eliminates ono
of the most popular forms of Interfering,
for If an opponent Is struck with tho legs
nboo tho kneo It merits a 15-yard loss,
and striking an opponent similarly below
tho kneo Is tho samo as tripping.
Players are not allowed to talk un
kindly, harshly or profanely to ofllclals
or players this year on penalty of leav
ing the gamo and their team suffering
a 15-yard loss.
In snapping the ball Into play once tho
centre has begun motion, play starts, and
he must go through with It and let tho
ball go. This prevents tho trick play
whero the centre appeared to pass tho
ball, but In reality held on to It until
another player slipped behind him and
took the ball from his hands.
Another change that 'alms at what was
characterized as an unauthorized means
of advancing the ball rules a forward
pass as Incomplete In which tho bull
passes out of bounds on the fly, whether
It has touched a man or not. This will
put an end to the practice of passing out
of bounds as a substitute for a kick.
Where a second eligible player touches
a forward pass after It has been touched
by an eligible player, It Is an Incom
pleted pass nnd counts ono down. Unless
tho captain designates otherwise, the
referee will bring the ball out -15 yards
from tho sideline where It has gone out
of bounds. If a forward pass Is caught
simultaneously by a member of the
passer's side and an opponent, It Is ruled
that the ball belongs to the side putting
the ball Into play.
The rules committee was unablo to dis
cover a clear way to Btop the practlco
of sending In substitutes with the pur
pose of conveying Information, but
amended the rules whereby a man taken
out of tho gamo can be resubstltuted only
at the beginning of a period. The com
mittee also has taken a half step In the
direction of numbering players on tho
field by recommending that numbers be
worn. It Is probablo that the next le
vlslon will see the step fully taken and
numbers made necessary for all plajera.
These rulings also have been npproved
by the committee:
The ball Is kicked off, goes Ices than
10 yards and Is kicked again. Ruled:
As kicking a loose ball.
Rule 6, Section 13a, should be followed
strictly. That wherever the ball Is ad
vanced, too, at that point the whistle
should bo blown, that being the point
where the ball is dead.
Rule 16, Bectlon 6 Two men signal for
a fair catch; one touches the ball and the
other gets It still on the fly. No run
allowed and ball Is dead.
In case of an offside play by oppon
ents and an Incompleted forward pass,
or holding In tho line by opponents and
an incompleted forward pass, the first
offense takes precedence and the second
Is disregarded.
Ruin 3. Section 3 Penalty for Illegal
return. Disqualify the player, give half
the distance to the goal line and notify
the Central Board.
Rule 18, Section 8 The position of the
feet determines1, the same as always,
whether the player Is either In the end
zone or out of bounds.
Unless the advance dope Is entirely
wropg, the 1915 season will be the most
successful In tho history of tho game.
Thousands of contests will be played and
many hard-fought battles are In prospect.
Eastern teams will combine against Percy
Ilaughton at Harvard In an effort to ruin
his perfectly good football machine, which
has emerged unscathed after several
strenuous seasons.
Yale and Princeton have profited by
their mistakes of the past and threaten
to spring something entirely new. Out at
Penn "By" Dickson, Oeorgo Brooke, Carl
Williams and many others will assist In
dragging the Red and Blue out of the
mire and endeavor to put out a team that
will compare favorably with those of the
past of course, utterly Ignoring the elev
ens that occupied Franklin Field during
the last two seasons. Other teams report
brilliant prospects and, Judging from tho
outlook, a pleasant time should be had by
all.
Intersections! contests are on the card,
the University of Virginia breaking Into
the big league on October 2, when it meets
Yale, and two weeks later the Southern
ers will try their luck against Harvard.
Yale will make a herolo effort to even
up for the 1914 defeat handed them by

Washington nnd Jefferson on October 23,
and Harvard will entertain Penn State at
Cambrldgo one week later. Notre Dame
plays tho Army on November 6.
More attention will bo paid to prelimi
nary practlco this year, and already many
aspirants for pigskin honors havo started
work. Ono of the earliest teams to get
a flying start Is tho Rutgers eleven, which
worried many of tho big colleges last
year. About a month ago a paragraph
crept Into tho papers stating that a farm
had been leased on tho Dclnwaro River
nnd many candidates had reported for
duty. Other teams, however, will not
begin work until next month, the day
after Labor Day being the popular selec
tion of the majority for the grand open
ing. Penn's candidates will report on
September 7, nnd Willie Crowell will In
vito a squad of 30 or 40 men to Lafay
ette's training camp at Dclawaro Water
Gap on the same day. Princeton, Yalo,
Harvard und Cornell also will start In at
this time.
Penn coaches are pleased with this
year's prospects. Although several vet
erans aro missing, their places will not
bo hard to fill, savo that of Journcay at
centre. Berry will be able to play and
his presence In the backfleld will
strengthen that department.
Then there are many of last year's
freshman team to draw from, Including
Stack, Grant, Welsh, Bell, Rcukaff and
Harry Ross.
Ross has put on considerable weight
during the summer and probably will bo
shifted from tho backfleld to one of tho
lino positions, Jack Fluher, baseball
player, did not como out for football last
year, but promises to Join tho squad next
month. Ho is big and fast and should
put In a strong bid for a place on tho
team. Penn opens tho season with tho
University of West Virginia on Septem
ber 23.
If Penn State could use a tcvr of her
coaches, tho team this year would be a
wonder. In addition to Head Coach Har
low, Charlie Brickley, Harvard's ex-captain
and All-American halfback, Larry
Whitney, of Dartmouth, another All
Amcrlcan halfback, and "Dutch" Herman
will assist In whipping tho team into
shape.

THE FUTURE

COLLEGE BOAT CLUB
TO NAME CREW COACH
TO SUCCEED N1CKALLS
Joe Wright, William Haines,
James Dempsey, James Ten
Eyck, Jr., and James Bond
Being Considered for Place
Tho crew coaching problem of tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Is beginning to
simplify. A successor to Vivian Nlckalls,
who resigned last month, will not bo se
lected until some tlmo next month.
Mr. Nlckalls himself has becn eliminated
from consideration. Ho was released from
tho last year of his contract In order that
ho might Join tho English army. Somo of
his friends thought he might return nfter
another year, but tho rowing authorities
proposo to solve the difficulty at once,
and to obtain a man whose appointment
will be permanent. There Is no thought
of engaging a coach who will hold tho po
sition for only a year.
The latest development In the situation
Is that the new coach will be picked by
tho College Boat Club, an organization
which annually elects three of the five
members of tho University Rowing Com
mittee. It Is the belief of tho Collego
Boot Club that lt can carry out tho de
cision Of this body without friction. At
nny rato, it intends finally to mako the
appointment.
At a recent meeting of tho College Boat
Club a letter was authorized to bo sent to
all members of tho club explaining tho
situation, and asking that Its members In
dicate their choice for tho position. !?
limitation was placed on the number to bo
considered. But the following nre known
to be among thoso mentioned:
Joo Wright, former stroke oar of the
Argonaut Rowing Club, of Toronto, and
now coach of that organization.
William Hnlnes, coach of the Union
Boat Club, Boston.
James Dempsey, coacn or tne university
Bargo Club, of this city.
James Ten Eyck, Jr., coach of the Du
luth (Minn.) Boat Club. ,
James Bond, of this city, a former Uni
versity of Pennsylvania oarsman.
Seerol members of the College Boat
Club havo suggested tho re-engagement
of Ellis Ward, but the Quakers.' former
coach has announced that- under no cir
cumstances would ho accept the appoint
ment. Within a few days tho foregoing names
will bo submitted to the members of the
College Boat Club, who will be asked to
Indicate their choice to a special com
mittee which will later announce Its
choice to the Board of Directors of the
University Athletic Association. Tho
committee, however, will not feel re
stricted to the names suggested.
Tho management of rowing at tho
University Is different from all other
sports. With the exception of the Row
ing Committee tho Board of Directors of
tho Athletic Association elects oil Its
committees, which consist of five mem
bers, two graduates and three under
graduates. Rowing, however, comes directly under
tho control of tho College Boat Club be
causo this organization antedates tho
formation of the Athletic Association and
because it owns the Collego Boat Club
on Boathouse Row.
When tho Athletic Association was
organized lt mado an agreement with
tho College Boat Club by which tho lat
ter organization was to appoint threo of
the five members of tho University Row
ing Committee and to engage the coach.
Two years ago the Athletlo Association
voted to amend tho constitution so that
lt would control the Rowing Committee,
but tho Board of Trustees of tho Univer
sity itself, whose ratification Is neces
sary for all such amendments, has never
given approval, so that the College Boat
Club still controls the situation. Three
of the Ave members of the committee
are Its appointments.
Every one Interested In rowing at the
University Is united In tho opinion that
a permanent coach must be selected this
fall In tlmo to take charge of the fall
practice. It was suggested at first that
some local coach might be engaged for
the fall practice and another for the
spring work. This, however, was deemed
Impracticable. It is said that James Bond
agreed to coach the crew without charge
this fall, but the authorities, while appre
ciating his Interest, thought It would be
best to engage a professional coach at
once, Mr. Bond, however, is willing to
become a paid coach If his services aro
desired. He was a famous oarsman him
self and has long been one of Pennsylva
nia's most enthusiastic rowing alumni.
Of the other men considered, Wright of
the Argonauts, probably is the best
known. Ills crews havo won more cham
pionships than any other organization
either In Canada or the United States. He
is willing to take the Job, but not until
next spring. Haines, who is coach of the
Union Boat Club, Is an Englishman, like
Wright, and a friend of Nlckalls. He
owes his success with the Union Boat
Club, of Boston, largely to the fact that
this organization Is made up of former
Harvard oarsmen, all of whom had been
taught to row before they reached him
James Ten Eyck, Jr., Is a son of the
present Syracuse coach and several years
ago was a Syracuse stroke. Atthe Duluth
Minn., Boat Club he has had unusual suc
cess. In the recent National Regatta at
Springfield, Mass., his crews were entered
In 11 of the 13 events and won 10 cham-plonshlps

DOWNFALL OF McLOUGHLIN
MIGHTY JOLT TO TENNIS WORll
By GRANTLAND RICE
Tho fawn tennis situation ln these
United (In some ways) States Is now by
a number of kilometres at the most In
teresting turn It has ever known.
For a long, long time tho U. S. had Bill
Lamed occupying a loncsomo throne, and
when Larned abdicated and McLoughlln
took his place It was generally agreed
that the Callfornlan's reign would be oven
more of a despotism than that estab
lished by his famous predecessor.
At the end of that summer week a year
ago. when tho Western meteor defeated
Norman Brookes and followed this victory
by crushing the mighty Wilding, there
was no one In close sight to be compared
with the brilliant Callfornlan, who Imme
diately took his place as tho greatest
tennis player ln the world.
The Unexpected Shift
But stneo that doublo victory over
Brookes and Wilding one of tho greatest
sportive achievements of all time Mc
Loughlln's crown has been Jolted dan
gerously near the edge of his crimson
dome.
For since that display of tennis last
summer McLoughlln has been beaten In
three Important matches twice by Will
lams and onco by Behr and in each do
feat he was clearly outplayed by his win
ning rival.
Out of four matches against R. N. will
lams tho Callfornlan has to battle hard
to run up a percentage of .600. He has
beaten Williams twice and has lost twice,
but In his last start he was beaten by a
wider margin than usual.
1914-1015
When Williams, after losing both
matches to Brookes and Wilding, Ijeat
