i In thin eltv. If Brooklyn should
fVriev enn win a came on both Brooklyn and Boston by trimming the Giants,
IfJle Brooklyn and Boston are battling In a four-pnme aeries In Brooklyn.
All things wnaldered, this la one of the moat critical weeks of the acnaon
Jff Koran's leader. There are only three hard Barnes on the card with a
jjjfMnnt contender, but the New York series may prove harder than Is expected.
K la aviso necessary for the rhlls to get out of the batting slump that prevented
jUsem from making a. clean sweep of four out of five from the Olanta.
,Kthe Phillies can win five out of the next seven games, It seems certain
jtfcsithey will have a five-game lead before they leave for the West. With this
MM Manager Moran and every player on tho team Is confident that It will bo
.mifitMlble for cither the Braves or Dodgers to overhaul them,
tt - .
Y Dodgers Pitchinjr Staff IU Weakest Link
l CIo Impression Is growing that Brooklyn will be out of the race before the
Umi of the present week. Robinson has handled his pitching staff so poorly
Inert'll has cracked. The addition of Cheney and Marquttrd, provided the latter
vregaln his old form, may bo a great help to the team, but the rest of the
"If, barring Pfeffer. appear to have cracked. Brooklyn has a series with
M Phjllles and Braves, scheduled for this week, and Judging by the fast clip
it)?, team has struck, It may be tho Dodgers will fall by tho wayside.
' The Braves passed tho Dodgers by winning from noblnson's team in Boston
et Saturday and on form Stalling' team should remain ahead of Brooklyn until
jfe flrjlsh. While Brooklyn Is playing the powerful Phllly team the Braves are
miffing the Glnnts. wh.o have not been able to do much against the world's
champions. Brooklyn will surely havo more trouble winning from tho Phillies
Jan the Braves will from the Giants, and this should enable Boston to pull
away from the Dodgers.
.While the Phillies and Giants are meeting later In tho week, Boston and
'Brooklyn will be battling again. With Rudolph, Ragon, Nohf and Hughes
jftchlcg In treat form. Brooklyn will havo trouble getting an even break. The
godsers' greatest chance is to cut down the lead of the Phillies before tho
eetern trip. Brooklyn has been a poor road team throughout the season, and
hfcW rar they have failed to damage Moran's chances.
- -J .
Brooklyn Must Sweep Series or Fall by the Wayside
Brooklyn's only chance to get on even terms with tho Phillies now Is to
stjveep" the Berles from Moran's men and then beat Boston while the Phillies
continue to loso to the Giants. It looks more and more as If it is to bo a battle
t tfte finish between the Phillies and Braves, with odds greatly In favor of
tijff local team.
,, It tho Braves were on even terms with the Phillies today they would have a
ggod chance f repeating, but even then Moran's team would look much better,
s It has a pitching staff that is In wonderful" shape. Boston has four twirlers
going well, butjwlth several double-headers in the West, they may find that
fW are not enough.
On the other hand, Moran has six first-class pitchers, all ready for a driving
jlh. Rudolph, the Braves' greatest h6pe, has been badly overworked. Tho
S tlefellow Is standing up in a remarkable manner under the strain, but he
6ni)t be classed with Alexander for consistency In a driving finish with tho
Kebr&skan In such great shape. '
i
w Phillies Can Win Without Slugging If Pitchers Hold Up
Local fans became worried when the Phillies could got but an even break In
the first four games in New York, but there is, no great cause for worry as long
r" the pitchers respond. The team cannot hit away from home, appar
ently and the fans must give up hopo of seeing It perform well, offensively, on
foreign soil, but It can do well enough to ward off any challenge If It can get the
riyo-gamo lead the men are aiming for. Stalllngs must hurt his pitching staff
tp overcome such a lead, and then it would be but an even chance that the
Braves could come through in that final series against the Phillies.
, Present Gains of Braves and Dodgers Inconsequential
"A11 things considered, tho Phillies' prospects are just as rlght n6w as
titty were s. week aeo. even If Boston did train a trifle. Neither Brooklyn nor
-wfffjpts can hope to overhaul. the Phillies if they cannot gain more than half
of Imm a week. On form. Brooklyn should droD out as a danccrous contender

Tlie Folly of Some Baseball Magnates
Is one to believe that baseball cannot stand on its own legs? If the policy
rAopted by tH t . Louis National League club Is followed out by others It will
brJa short tlno Only before ball clubs throughout the country will be playing
double-headers every day with a baseball game as one attraction and a vaude
ville, show the -:-er.
In an feit to drag the people out to the ball park the National League
ii anagement in St. Louis has billed a cabaret shew to amuse the fans before
Mm game sad an orchestra plays throughout the contest. The latter is a fea
ts that should bs commended, but the idea of the cabaret show is asinine.
Whert baseball as a game cannot draw the fans, there Is no chance for It to
draw with a cabaret show for a, side atti action.
Baseball magnates are spending so much money at a time when conditions
We popr for Interest in the game that some have lost their heads completely.
Tkla is not the first time that baseball has been In a slump. It has always
rHBu back, and always will, If the magnates will let things take their course.
Too Many Double-headers on Saturdays and Holidays
The habit of staging double-headers on Saturdays and Sundays has been
mother cause fo- the falling off of the attendance during the week in many
UU. The major leagues would do well to make a rule Prohibltlnir the schedul.
f faf fit double-h?ders on, Saturdays and
te gopnm on otlur days. Ths may sound like, treason to tho fan who likes to

Kb, have been postponed, with a "No game, rain" sign out when It h.as not
rained, enough to hurt the field. The day may have been dark and threatening
aid the management figured that the attendance would bo small. Therefore
t fpomed like good butlness to call off the game and play it off as part of a

Art Nehf Pitching Wonderful Ball
TJe wonderful work of young Art Nehf, the southpaw recruit from Term
Haute" of the Central League, for the Braves recalls comment in these columns
AtWtff the recent Phllly-poston series. At that time Sherwood Magee declared
that Nehf was the greatest young left-hander he had ever seen, and predicted
that he would be the best southpaw In the country in a year.
On Saturday Nehf held Brooklyn, a pennant contender and a hard-hitting
(,. to one hit and permitted but three men to bat to an Inning for the entire
F.irt. This was a wonderful performance, and was all the more remarkable
whn one consider that the only hit made Off his delivery was a high fly that
'M lost in tho s un by Compton Had Compton handled the ball Nehf not only
Would have pitched a Wtless gftjne. but would have been credited with a perfect

LBDQBBPHILAlffiLPHlA. MONDAY. SPTBMBEB
WHEN A
MIDDBE FOOTBALL
. MEN HAVE BEGUN
WORK FOR SEASON
Great Interest Already Shown
in Development of Army
and NavyEIevens for
Year 1915
TWO STARS MISSING
They love football at West Point and
Annapolis. These two national academies
wfcre the first to begin practice this year,
and their game at New York on Novem
ber 27 will end the season. Their sea
sons are always thrillers, but this year. If
possible, the public Is taking more than
the usual Interest In their development.
Already both academies are being
swamped with requests for tickets. The
Navy has stolen a march on the Army,
for the middles had several weeks of
preliminary practice during the summer,
when most of tho football players were
home from a cruise.
The squad which Is now in training at
Annapolis Is made up of men from the
incoming class, and the fact that there
are 60 of these recruits now at work
shows how keen the Navy Is to win from
the Army this year. The soldiers have
beaten the sailors twice in succession,
20 to I in 1913 and 20 to 0 last year, and
the Navy wants revenge. Tho main upper
class squad of the Navy will get down to
work about the middle of this month, and
will cut short their vacation 10 days to
make this possible.
Both teams open their schedule on the
same date, October 2, and play eight
games before their Una) clash with each
other. The Navy has the more difficult
schedule. The middles meet Georgetown,
the University of Pittsburgh and the
University of Pennsylvania for their first
three opponents. This Is the ramo order
In which they opened a year ago. It Is
undoubtedly a poorly balanced schedule,
the October games being too hard and
the November contests too easy to permit
of an evenly developed team It will take
the rooRt careful sort of handling to have
the team at Its best for the final game.
The West Point schedule Is not as
strong as It might be for the November
games. The soldiers do not play any of
the big tearrs, their strongest opponent
outside tho Navy being Notre Dame, the
Indiana men coming East on November
C. The two schools play but one team
in common, that Is Georgetown But
white the Navy opens with Georgetown,
West Point plays this team on October 23.
Just how the teams will compare It is
Impossible to predict this early. But the
Army Is the more fortunate In the reten.
tlon of veterans from last year. The sol
diers have to And a new man for Butler's
place at tackle and they must replace
Prlchard at quarterback and Merrlllat at
end. It will not be'an easy job to And
another combination Ilk that of Prlchard
and Merrlllat, for this pair handled the
forward pass betttr than any other two
men on the gridiron last year. They beaf1
we rnavy in w ana again in uu. If the
soldiers can fill their places acceptably,
their team may be able to go through
another season undefeated, as they did
last year.

FRIEND
HARRIS, PENN CAPTAIN,
HOPEFIJL OF FOOTBALL
CHANCES THIS SEASON
Quaker Leader Arrives From
Summer Camp Rftady for
' Team's Trip to Port
Deposit, Md.
TALKS OP 1915 PROSPECTS
Captain Edward Harris, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football team,
fresh from his summer's Bojourn In a
New Hampshire camp, visited Franklin
Field this morning to go over the details
of the Quakers' trip to Port Deposit. Md..
where they will take two weeks of pre
liminary training, beginning tomorrow.
Harris had left the plans to Field Coach
Dickson and the Football Committee.
The squad of about two dozen men
will leavo some time tomorrow morning.
Not until morning will the authorities
bo able to announce finally the names
of the men who will be taken. Several
have not replied to letters sent them by
Coach Dickson during the summer, but
most of them are expected to report In
person either this afternoon or tomor
row morning.
Captain Harris looked the picture of
health, tunned and herd as nails. He
said ho weighed 190 pounds stripped and
never felt better in his life. When asked
about prospects for the coming season
the big tackle was none too optimistic.
"It looks as though we will have some
flrst-claBS material for the back field,"
said Harris. 'That Is, from last year's
freshman team and from the scrubs, we
have some men who played good foot
ball last year. There Is a difference be
tween being a star on a freBhman team
and on the varsity, and all the boys who
look so promising will have to make good.
The more competition there Is, tho better
we shull llko It. The back field material
from last year's freshman team ought to.
be a big help, Orant and Bell were both1
mighty good quarterbacks, while Qutgley,
Welsh and Boss were high-class men. I
assume that Howard Berry, who ployed
on the scrubs, will be tried first at half,
back.
"It Is in the line that we shall have
the greatest problem The loss of Nor
wold, a member of the 19H varsity, and
of Peoples and Dewhurst. of the fresh
man team, has taken three good for
wards from us We expect Wltherow
and Dorizas, who played guard most of
last year, to report again, and both
should be better than ever. Then there
Is Hennlng, who I think ought to be
one of the best tackles we have ever
had He has the weight, strength and
gameness, Last year all he needed was
experience, which he has now Probably
both Wray and, Matthews, who played
halfback positions last year, win try for
centri. provided the freshman and scrub
material ion which we are countln

That Is How the Terrors Get a Fine Shortstop
By CTARLES
The World's Moet Famous
Copyrlrht. Street Smith. 1911.
THEBE was no particular reason why
Pete MacNobb should havo made such
a fuss about a Methodist h,ortstop.
Teto was old enough to know belter.
He was the tough old manager of a
tough old blg-leaguo team, and h s motto
was that he was never licked until the
last bat went Into the bag. Ho had
spent all his life with both "
and his cars cocked at a wceP10"!1.6'
consequently he picked up many
bits of information regarding the national
pastime, and those who took port in it
for love, laurels or lucre.
In the course of this general accumu
lation of Information. Pete had heard
of ball players with conscientious cruples
ogalnst donning tho spikes and the
spangles upon the Sabbath day-ln fact,
he had been personally acquainted with
soveral of these peculiar athletes in his
time-good players, too. come to think
of it, and, for some reason pr other, an
amazingly heavy hitters. Pete had even
heard of ono enthuslast-a Seventh Day
Adventlst-who refused to play on Sat
urdays, and made up for that peculiarity,
by batting at a .400 clip the rest of the
Undoubtedly It was all In the way a
fellow looked at It, Peto never allowed
religion of any Bort to worry him; baso
ball took up most of his waking hours.
A religious "bug" was as good as any
other kind of a ball playcr-lf he was
as good, and that was about as far as
Pete cared to go In the premises. It was
his private belief that prayers never
whetted the batting eye to any great ex
tent. Peter MacNabb was full of toleration
upon the subject even when the preacher
ball player was on another man's pay
roll but It came as eomowhat of a shock
to him when David McKinstry Todd laid
his finger upon tho printed contract sheet
and demanded a Sunday clause.
The tolerant MacNabb pushed his chair
back from the table, and howled like a
wolf. ,
"A Sunday clause! What kind of stuff
Is that?"
"I couldn't play ball on Sunday," said
young David, eyeing the Goliath of or
ganized baseball without a tremor.
"Oho! You couldn't, eh? What's hold
ing vou?"
"My conscience. My religious belief."
"Your conscience! What's that got to
do with baseball, I'd like to know?"
David reached for his hat, and that was
the first smooth pebble between the eyes
of tho giant.
"Keep your shirt on, son," wheedled
MacNabb. "Let's talk this thing over
That blue-law stuff is all .out of date.
I've known some terrible religious fel
lows on this ball club, and they all played
on Sundays. We don't have noi Sunday
games at home, anyway, and we only
draw a few on tho road. Just a few
games a season, kid. What difference
would that make?"i
"I couldn't," said young Todd earnestly,
"You don't understand. I was studying
for tho ministry."
MacNabb fell back, aghast.
"A preacher?"
The young man nodded his head
solemnly.
Pete MacNabb drew a long breath, and
then leaned forward, speaking con
fidentially. ,
1 "S-a-ay. lemme tell you a thing or two
about this preacher business, my son. It's
a bad line to go into. It's overdone. There

competlUonl Every lltUe Jerkwater town
along the line has got a dozen preachers,
and they're all starvln' to death. Maybe
one out of a thousand grabs off agood
Job In a big town, but It takes' hlra thirty
yeors to get there. This country Is fult
of bush-league preachers, may boy, but
there ain't more than five really great
shortstops in the world! I wouldn't swell
up, you understand, but, from what I've
seen, you've got It In you to make It an
even half dozen. ,
"What's the use of thumping a' pulpit
Sunday mornings to keep people awake,
when you can be batting three hundred
in the big league? What's the use of
singing psslms, when you can be play
ing short llko Hughle Jennings' ghost?
Listen, boy: As a preacher you'd be
thrown awoyt Plumb wasted I What
makes all these young college fellows hop
into organized ball? These doctors and
lawyers? Because they know that ball
playln' is their long suit They'd rather
be good ball players than bum doctors or
shyster lawyers. I ain't saying a thing
against your religion, mind, but if you
could preach ob well as you could play
ball they'd have you drafted onto 6th
avenue your first season!"
MacNobb's argument was Jong but futile.
In the end the stripling prevailed oyer the
giant, and the Sunday clause -was In-'
serted Pete wrote It with his own
knotted fingers and he wouldn't do It
again no, not for a Mattiewson of a
Cobb.
