i jtt few have shown real varsity cali
bre. These athletes aro supposed to be
I'tfee nucleus around which tms years
l.ltven Is to be built, and the coaches
Already reallzo that they have a man'f
F.'ju lob on Ihelr handB to whip the men
Ibi shape to make a showing In the com-
jteC Bmeg.
-Before the one-year rule was put Into
trffet there was opportunity to take n
i chance on the freshman class In the hope
that some stars would bo uncovered. Con-
rations have changed, however, and now
'the coaches Know wnui men nicy win

JPtPPCr navo nl ruyuncu, mm ii ib om
that they nave aeciucu not io iry ior inc.
team this year. Mike Dorlzas Is some
where In the West, and It Is not known
when he will Join the squad. Several let-
ttrs have been sent to him, but no reply
has been receiveu. ierr, iresuuian wtwu
on laBt year's team; Wlthcrow, varsity
guard, and Itaffetto, scrub tackle, are
expected to report In the near future.
All of the lost and missing candidates
are line men, and this is the place where
prenn la extremely weak. When the squad
lined up for first signal drill on Tome
Sctool' Kleld yesterday afternoon. It was
found that there were only four line men
to fill flvo positions. A quick Bhlft was
made and two men from tho backflcld
were, ued.
Wray was tried out at centre and
Mathews went In m guard. Both of these
jtptnen have had no experience on the rusn
i tin nnrl tflov mllat n rToVAtnnnil Intn
&Urslty players In two weeks.
Tj5 -From tackle to tackle, Penn will be
t, , vulnerable. Captain Harris is sure of
ill Job, but the others will have to flght
, ", hard for their places should nnv real
competition develop. But It looks as If
this will not happen. Of course, 60 or 60
ether candidates are expected to try for
' the team when prnctlco starts on Frank
lin Field, but the best players have be?n
elected to come to the training camp,
. and it Is feared thnt the, annual fall crop
win not yieia many real stars.
, This Is rather early to point out the
wetnesses or a team, nut It is easy to
figure out that where there ig a dearth of
material the best results cannot be ac
'compllahed. Instead of having 20 or 30
tandldates for the line positions, there
are six at present, and turn n,. ii.
r.HfcUyed there before. When nil nr h
rj(uad gets together there probably will

none oi wnom can be called a star. This
Bieans that the older men have first call:
there will be little competition and In
of Injurles-and this is bound to ban-
P.',?"-.w . re wln be sotten first-class sub
stitutes? In modern football, one of the. mnst im.
portant positions on the team Is centre.
Last year Journeay filled the position -is
well as any player In tho Kast. He play
ed In every game, and there was little
feed for a substitute. However, Journeay

ALEX DOESN'T CARE WHO WINS FLAG
THIS YEAR IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
Should Phils Land Pennant in Tener's Circuit, Pat's
Star Hurler Would Be Ready for Any Opponent.
Locals Trying to Win Gonfalon
By GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER
(Oreatett Baseball pitcher In the World and the Mainstay of Hie Philadelphia National
League Club In the IMS Tennant Race.)
AltTICLK IX
"Which team would you prefer to meet
In the World's Series, the tied Box, Tigers
or White Sox?" h friend asked me the
other day. That Is In
deed a dlfllcult question
to answer, for several
leasons which 1 will
clvo.
Tho first and most Im
portant reason Is that
my club, tho riilllles,
has not won the Na
tional League pennant,
and It would be absurd
for me to discuss a situ-
. !- ...1.1-1-
ALUXANDUlt. arise
Another good reason Is that 1 have not
had an opportunity to watch the Ameri
can Lenguers play this season, and know
nothing about their strength or Individ-
uni stars.
Last, but not least, the "dope" haB
been knocked Into a cocked hat so fre
quently in world's scries played In the
past that I don't think tho particular
teams count for so much as the way those
teams act when they come to the great
test.
Tho Impression In American League
circles, as 1 Rather It. la that the, Jnhn.
80n organisation has stronger, better-bal-
anced clubs this season and that the Na
uonai league will be lucky to win tho
worlds aeries. That to me seems ab
surd and I am suro you will find It so,
no matter which teams meet next Octo
ber. I feel free to discuss that subject.
When the American Leaguer talks
world's scries, he usually makes hitting
his principal argument In favor of his
organization. He points to tho Speaker-Hoblitzell-Lewls
combination of Boston,
the Cobb-Crawford-Veach slugging trio of
Detroit and the Collins-Jackson, Founder
swat kings of Chicago. I'll prant you
that the pitcher who faces these bats
men, as well ai some others on the three
leading clubs of the American League,
must have a stout heart. Tho preponder
ance of left-handed sluggers in tho Junior
vuy oc organized baseball makes It ap
pear particularly dlfllcult for a right
handed pitcher to beat them.
But I contend that you never know
what will happen In baseball until the
game Is on, and I do not admit that tho
good right-handed pitchers In our league
would be stormed oft the mound by the
left-handed batsmen of tho American
League.
Furthermore, take the three leading
clubs In tho National the Phillies, Brook
lyn and Boston. I have heard it whisp
ered about by pitchers on other clubs
that It Is not easy to pass down the line
of our batting order, nnd that It is ex
tremely dangerous to hurl the baseball at
Cravath and Luderus. When they get
a hold of the "onion" It Is going some
where, as everybody knows by this time.
Brooklyn has Daubert. Stengel and
Wheat, three men who can swing a bat
with a skill and regularity which has
made many pitcher In our league trem
ble when they faced them. Boston now
has Evers, Snodgrass, Jlageo and Schmidt
and they all slam tho baseball hard and
timely.
Understand me when I say that I am
I not attempting to compare the leading.
aiutsKcrs ui our iettSuc wun inose in me
American. I have faced very few of the
players in the rival organization, and
then only in exhibition games. I do want
to make It plain, however, that Cobb,
Speaker, Jackson and others must not be
awarded the honors in a world's scries
on their American League performance.

P. BURLEIGH LOSES
IN GEIST GOLF PLAY
Winner of Qualifying Round
Medal at Chestnut Hill De
feated by Cleveland
CHESTNUT HILL, Ta Sept. lO.-The
old, old golf tradition ot the qualifying
round medal winner dropping In the first
round held true In tho fifth annual Gelst
cup tournament at tho Whlteinarsh Vol
ley Country Club today, when Taul Bur
leigh, leader of yesterday's field of 160,
was defeated by, W, T. Cleveland, Aronl
mink. Burleigh did not fall without a
fight,, however, for Cleveland did not pre
vail until he had holed the laBt putt on
the home green. His margin was 2 up.
This was only one of tho opening-round
upsets. Another was the downfall of
young Norman Maxwell, holder of the
Gelst Cup, before the well-sustained
soundness of the golf played by Oeorge
K, Lauder, ot Aronlmlnk. Klauder
went out In 39, leading comfortably all
the way, and Btarted home In 4, 3, , 6,
after which the match was as good as
finished. Eventually It ended on the
17th, with Klauder 2 up and 1 to play.
Donald Woodward, Columbia Country
Club, Washington, was considered by
many to have a good chance of coming
through, but his chances wenj a-gllm-merlng
today. Maurice Jones, of Frank

cries are two entirely different proposi
tions. I have heard playera In our league sRyy:
"Oh, It's easy to get a big batting aver
ago In the American League. They don't
have thu classy pitchers over thero that
we have In our league."
That Is opon to argument. I think It
la nbsurd for National Leaguers, who
never see a game In the American, to
compare tho dingers ot the two leagues.
Nobody knows what batting Ilgures Dau
bert would pllo'up If he had to go up
against Johnson, Leonard, Scott and
other (lingers In the rlal league. Cobb
would not necessarily have a. higher or
lower average If ho had to face Itudolph,
Mamnux and some ot our best hurlers.
Personally, I may say qulto frankly
that if the Phillies get a chance to tight
an American League club for the world's
championship I won't care a rap what
city our enemy halls from. If you offered
mo my pick right now, I enn't say that 1
would be able to take advantage of the
offer. 1 don't know enough about the
teams and their style of play to select
the one I like to pitch against.
Ty Cobb Is known and recognized as
the world's greatest batsman. If I hnd
to face the Detroit player In n world's
teric., I am hero to tell you I'd pitch
mighty careful to him. And I would not
hand Sam Crawford anything that 1
thought he could murder, for I am told
he can hit them a mile when he gets
what ho wants. But I do not say I could
fool this pair. That would remain to be
seen. And I do not say thnt they would
be harder for me than tho batsmen of
the other American League clubs.
If you will go back over tho world's
series scores, you will find that fre
quently a bntsman who was not believed
to be so very dangerous beforo the games
began, turned out to be tho man who de
livered the majority of tho timely hits.
Sometimes, the star slugger fell down.
This may be because tho pitchers ex
pect the men with the .300 nvcrages to
alam tho ball and give them "everything
they've got In shop." Then a supposedly
wenk batsman, with a .240 mark, comes
up and gets a ball whore he wants It.
The result Is he -gets a base hit.
It has been a rule of mine never to
figure a batsman easy because he had
a low average or some other fllnger baf
fled him consistently. I pitch to every
one according to my own views and put
Just about as much "stuff" on the ball
for one as another. And that is pre
cisely the way I would pitch If I got Into
a world's series.
But no matter which cams win the two
pennants, remember thnt the figures
won't count for much. Individual aver
ages don't win world's scries. It's the
man with tho punch who can deliver It
at the proper tlmo who gets away with
the rhcrt set of games. And the leading
pitcher In our league might be easy for
the lowest average batsman In tho
American.
Today the pitchers on our staff are
spending all their spare moments studying
out ways and means to keep Daubert,
Mogec, Zimmerman, Wagner, Doyle.
Groh, Long and some other National
League sluggers from pounding out hits
that will beat us. We haven't had the
time nor the Inclination to think of the
strength or weakness of tho batsmen in
the Johnson circuit. We haven't won the
National League flag.
Therefore, I say to you honestly that I
never have given the slightest thought to
which team I would prefer to face In a
world's series. Give me a chance to
Pitch for the championship and I'll let
you pick the opponents.

FOREST HILLS MATCH
Tennis "Comet" Defeats Bchr,
6-4, 3-6, 6-2 and 6-2 in Sen
sational Contest
FOIIKST HILLS, N. J., Sept. 10. Star
players of the Kast and West fnced each
other In the opening. contests of tho sec
tional team match on the courts of the
West Side Tennis Club here loday. Ont
doubles and two singles matches were
decided, while the same numbet Is carded
for tomorrow.
Playing conditions were Ideal. Karl II.
Hehr, Kast, and Maurice E. McLough
Itn, West, xvero the opponents In the
moat Important singles match, but the
meeting between Theodore Itooscvrlt
Pell, East, nnd Thomas C, Dundy, also
attracted considerable attention. The
doubles match brought together the new
champions, Wllllnm M. Johnston nnd
Clnrence J. Orlflln, of the West, ngnlnst
Hlchard Norrls Williams, Id, nnd Wat
son M. Washburn, the Eastern title
holders.
Last July the East nnd West met on
the asphalt courts of San Francisco, tho
West winning by five matches to one.
Tho East, however, la represented by a
much Btrongcr tcam today and a much
closer result In looked for. x-plnlon la
pretty well divided as to tho probnble
winner. A gallery of several thousand
attended tho play.
Behr started the service against Mc
Loughlln and won the first game on tour
outs by tho C'ntlfornlnn. The second gnnie
went to deuce twice before It wn3 cred
ited to McLoughlln. Bchr driving tho ball
far out of court for the last two points.
The California!! got In some pretty
passing shots In the third game, and cnB
lly won it. The fourth game also went
to tho foimcr champion, Bchr driving
scvcrnl easy chnnces Into the net.
Each player won on service In the fifth
nnd sixth games, making the scoro
4 to 2 In favor of McLoughlln. Both
men were very erratic up to this stage,
and errors were responsible for practi
cally all the points.
Bchr braced somewhat In the seventh
gamo and executed some of his charac
teristic half-volley shots. He won the
game with tho loss of only one point.
The next two games were divided, mak
ing tho score 5 to 4 In favor of McLough
lln. On his own service the Callfornlnn an
nexed tho 10th gnme, giving him tho
MrHt set, 6-4.
Bchr braced in the second set nnd won
three successive games before McLough
lln could check him. The New York
player came to the centre of the court
and, showing the same aggressiveness
that marks all his matches, literally
smashed his way to victory. He kept
driving his half-volley shots to the Call
fornUn's backhand nnd "Mac's" returns
weie very weak, generally finding their
way Into the net.
The order of service In the doubles was
Washburn, Johnston, , Williams, Grlllln.
The Eastern pair warmed up more quick
ly than the champions and ns a result
Williams and Washburn Becured a lead
of 3 to 2.
They did not hold the ndvnntage long,
however, for once the Westerners got
going they put up the same fast tennis
they displayed against McLoushlln and
Bundy on Wednesday and quickly pulled
out the first set by 6 to 4. The title hold
ers were steadier than their rivals and
also showed better teamwork.
Johnston and Grlflln hnd a much easier
time of It In the second t,et and won out
bv 0-2. The Easterners were surprising
ly weak In their team work and their
opponents drove between them for point
after point. Williams and Washburn did
not got going onco throughout the sot.

MIKE GIBBONS SHOULD WIN
OVER M'FARLAND, SAYS EXPERT
Long Time Since Packey Faced Real Competition, While
Opponent Is Regarded as Jyst as Clever a
, Boxer and Harder Hitter
y GKANTLAND MCE
Considerable Conflict
Thtrt have been bntflea before
Battles unmimbercd;
Battles red-reeking ioith flore,
Where the tlnln slumbered;
There Tinre been fights since the days
Of Cain's tolM upheaval;
Hack through the historic hate
Of times medieval:
When cave men of old left their dens
For bouts mastodonlc;
Bouts that have thrilled master peita,
omerlo-Hrionlc;
On through gray age after at,t.
Where flags tcerc flapping,
Becking Is history's page
With endless scrapping;
Big fights or smalt on the list.
Building or blighting,
But ever since man icore a fist
There has been fighting.
Take all the fights that you Kill,
Take what you like;
But give mc the chance for a Ihrlll
When Packey meets Mike.
As nn average proposition anticipation
comes in for a hard Jolt when realization
arrives on the acene. But If McFarland
nnd Qlbbona fall to furnish a regular war
even one that will stand out In this
age of wars It will not bo because they
can't, but because they won't.
Packey vs. Mike
Of nil ling masters who have worn the
gloves, In recent years at least, these two
have it In them to give tho keenegiexhl
bltlon yet arranged. They are much of
the same type. Both have speed nnd both
have skill. Both havo brains and both
have courage. No one has even seen
either quit though nt odd moments both
have slackened their pace whllo playing
It safe.
They are rare types, well above the ring
GOLF MATCH IN WHICH BOTH TRIED
TO LOSE AND WIN A 'IGH 'AT
' Hold Hengland habounds hln 'oary han
! culotos habout 'or 'eather-'lckory 'erocs,
1'i.nd ere his hnnother, 'nuled hout hot
'Idlng:
It seems that the late Lord Itobert
Crawley was a golf fanatic from sunrise
to sunset. Between those hours he did
not play, but was glad to discuss the
merits of the game, even wlfn Lady
Robert Crawley, which only goea to show
what an enthusiast ho was. He had a
pretty fair links right In tho backyard
of 'nl a estate, so that he could fare forth
on the fairway and rough the rough
whenever he felt the tingle. This was
about all the time nnd, as he was not
always able to scrape up a partner
among t'ne neighboring dukes, bishops
find perusants, he often called upon his
butlers, valets or even his wine watch
man to play him a round until ho hnd
his whole rnousehold so daft over the
game that a sunny thought otruck him.
Why not have n cockney's contest? So
It camo about that his lordship an
nounced fnere would be a golf tourna
ment for all the servant members of the
household. There were to be two six
teens and prizes for winners and run-
ners-up. But his lordship hated to lose
those two days of golf, so 'no was finally
given permission to play In It by his
head butler.
His lordship decided not to try for any
thing better than the second 16 and
thought he would be runner-up. It took
him a week to decide what he wanted and
another week to find It after he decided.
His wife always bought his clothes, but
Lord Crawley finally found a very toppy
silk hat for his No. 8 head.
Tho tourney went fine. His lordship
shystered tho first 16 much to the sym
pathy of all the cockneys and he had no
trouble In wading down to the finals be
cause all but a scullion boy defaulted
against him. He met his coachman for
last honors.
The coachman gave the silk hat the
once over and decided that was what he
wanted. It was such a toppy top hat
and besides. It was obviously a coach
man's dip. Also, "hexcuso my 'ackney
Hengllsh," he told a representative of
the press at the time, "but HI feel thut
hit his hcmmlncntly fitting for me to
houst myself hln favor hot 'Is Mghness."
So both settled down to the bitter

both nre equally hard to hit. It fnay he
that both havo too much science too keen
a defense to permit any offense or attack
to get working.
Gibbons Should Win
Those who have seen both Mike and
Tackey In various ring encounters against
other rivals or would-be rivals know the
excessive cleverness of these two boxing
prima donnas to scramble things up a
bit. Tackey haa made almost every oppo
nent he ever faced look foolish, Mike has
transformed most of hla antagonists Into
simian wonders. They have outclassed
tho Held. We have seen Tackey battle
when It looked to be a certainty that no
man could hit him, for It Is hard to land
with solldness upon a shadow or a phan
tom. We havo seen Mike so elusive that
a sharpshooter at 10 paces couldn't hit
him with a shotgun.
Mlko has never met a man as clever
as Tackey. And you can gamble your roll
that Tackey has never met as tough a
customer as Mike was and la. And be
tween tho two Mike Is the ono who car
ries the best of It In the advance dope.
The Wherefores
Mike is about as clever as Packey Is a
harder hitter and beyond nil this, has
been bolstered up by more recent compe
tition. The shadow stuff and the sparring
partner business nre not moro than con
siderably different from tho regulation
thing.
It hns been a long time since Tackey
faced actual competition. It has been a
longer time since Tackey met a man of
his own weight. Gibbons has faced moro
thun one rugged customer since Tackey
retired. This will mean moro than a little
bit when they meet.
struggle to see which could lose the
match. His lordship was determined not
to lose the top hat after nil his search.
He topped beautifully, ho sliced, his dubs
wcrq magnificent, nnd ho threw in a se
lection of'whlffs only equnled by thoso of
his opponent. At the last tee It was all
square. 'Enry, the coachman, whiffed
eight times all he dared and then top
ped. Ills lordship then socked 10 out of
bounds nnd accidentally hit one. Both got
an Inch from the hole In 37. 'Enry meant
to dub his ball but knocked it In. His
lordship missed, losing the deciding hole.
"HI win!" he whooped. The crestfallen
'Enry, winner of the match, resigned
later for disappointment. "Ho whut a
tuppy 'at," he sighed.
Wonderful prizes are egging the golfers
on to their best In the Gelst Cup matches
at Whltemarsh this week. Two magnifi
cent mahogany clocks are to be awarded
the winners of the first and second 16,
and there ls a dazzling array of silver
that will go to tho runners-un. defeated
eights and even the defeated four they
will bo known ns the "lost souls."
An .Innovation ls starting the players
six minutes apart. It was carried out
according to schedule and there was none
of the usual haste evident. The play Is
all from the front part of the front tees,
tho holes havo been put In the best part
of the greens, nnd every conceivable thing
has been done to make the going easier.
Herb Newton pulled fine three out of
tho 12th by a long and up-and-down putt.
John Fox put his ball on his drive to
tho 16th not more than two inches from
the spot where the cup of the day previ
ous had been. A little slip of tho mem
ory, of course. The worst was that h
had a hard putt to the new hole for a
2 and missed,
Frank McAdams had to do quite a lit
tle twisting nnd fidgeting before he could
make up his mind not to kick about ono
shot ho made. On the lCth theie ls a
long Blope up to the green. McAdams
tried to pitch his ball up over, but It
hit the top of the slope and rolled back
down again, almost to the Identical spot
from which he had wished It. But he
decided the ball had oscillated a bit.
