rtlly settled. The much-feared 8U Louis series Is over, and, now the
FMtttes have only six games to play In the West. If history repeats. Manager
Urlclus Moron's club may have trouble In Chicago; but nothing short of Ave
of six, or six victories in a row, for the Cubs over the leaders could cause
ay real anxiety.
Instead of slowing down, the Phillies are traveling at a faster and more
emstetent clip than they have since the first ten days of the season, and
Htn and Brooklyn must realize by this time that nothing but a mlruclo
prevent tho Phillies from winning out.
Since tho disastrous series In Brooklyn the Phillies have won 11 games
nd, lost only three, which Is remarkable, In view of the strain caused by the
rushing losses In Brookyln.
Gameness of Phils, After Brooklyn Setback, Is Rcmarkablo
The gameness of tho Phllly team has been one of the moat striking features
In the triumph which will soon bo celebrated. In every crucial scries, barring
that one string In Brooklyn, the Phillies have played their best ball. Just when
It seemed the team was surely slipping the men came back In a wonderful
manner.
The present trip Is the first of the year In which the Phillies batted so
well as they should, and It Is significant that only two home runs have been
Made on the road. The men have at last forgotten that desire, which sprung
the great success on the short field here, to whale tho ball.
.
Much-Fcarcd Batting Slump on Road Has Not Developed
Thero Is no team In cither league batting as well as tho Phils at present.
Other cjubs have their good days when all of the men fatten their averages,
but the Phllly batting has been uniformly good. In only two games out of tho
last 14 have the Phillies been at the mercy of a pitcher, and It Is likely that
Toney and Ames, who shut out the leaders, would havo been able to accomplish
the some thing against the greatest hitters In the land on those days.
It took a game team to start hitting on the road after tho poor work that
had been done previously on foreign fields. Thero Is an old saying that a
leading team Is Just as good as It Is game. If such Is the case, the Phillies are
.truly the greatest team In tho country. Tho gameness Is not In the line of
"riding" players, baiting umpires nnd other unsportsmanlike tricks. It Is Blmply
that "we-won't-und-ean't-bo-llcked" spirit Instilled into every man on tho
team without making a rowdy of any.
Moron's Judgment in Handling Team Is Now Evident
Manager Moran has exercised wonderful Judgment throughout therace,
never onco losing sight of the fact that It was a race of 154 games, and not a
twomonth affair. Perhaps the greatest work he has accomplished Is with
the pitching staff. The team Is going Into tho stretch with six pitchers in
perfect shape. Seldom, If ever, 'has a club gone through a season such as
this without having at least one or two stars ruined through overwork or
too much relief pitching.
At tho present time It Is almost Impossible for one to figure on the Phllly
pitching selection In advance, except In Alexander's case. Moran has .so many
pitchers in good condition that he Is likely to warm up two or three before
making his choice. It has been said that he is a lucky man to haye the staff
In such condition, but It Is more than luck It is ability and ho should receive
the credit.
Two Castoffs Win Important Double-Header
Yesterday he sent George McQuillan and Al Demaree, two discards, to
the mound for an Important double-header.
Their work must make Fred Clarke and John McGraw wonder If baseball,
after all. Is not a large percentage luck and the "breaks." Certainly neither of
these showed anything at Pittsburgh and New York prior to the time they were
cast adrift, but they are delivering for Moran, and that is all that interests tho
local fans.
Phillies Now Need Only Seven Out of Fourteen
"..i ,-.
' ""iljrTaklng both games from the Cardinals in a most decisive manner the
Phillies all but clinched the pennant It Is possible to lose, and to lose by a few
games, but It Is Improbable. The Phillies need to win only seven of tho 14
renialnlng games, and Boston must win 12 of Its 13 gomes, while Brooklyn must
win 13 out of 14 to tie the leaders. That this is out of the question Is evident,
and it is more than lively the Phillies will increase their lead instead of losing
ground.
Dash of the Braves Just a Little Too Late
d.?lt0n,we.d ?"cmmiU, ywterday. The Braves are playing really won
derful ball but It Is Just a littlo too late. Had the champions Qitarted to play the
same kind of ball a month ago thero would be hope now; but It Is virtually gone.

"Despite the fact that PhlladelDhla
will be file scene of the women's na
tional lawn tennis championship next
year, as well as the national amateur
golf championships, the Merlon Cricket
Club, nt the annual meeting of the
United 8tates National Lawn Tennis As
sociation this winter, will make a bold
bid for the 36th national tennis cham
pionship. If wo are successful, 1918 will
go down as the greatest year of sport
In the 'nlstdry of Philadelphia."
Thus spoke A. L. Hosklns, vice presi
dent of the U. 8. N. L. T. A., when asked
If the Merlon Cricket Club would be
seriously considered as the state for the
next tennis championship.
Merlon was virtually assured of the
national amateur golf championship for
1916 at the meeting of the U. 8. Q. A.,
held at New York last winter. All sum
mer long Improvements 'nave been quiet
ly made, on the east course at Merlon,
until now It Is the equal of any cham
pionship course In the land.
The women's national championship
has been a fixture at the Philadelphia
Cricket Club for 27 years. While It is
barely possible that this event will be
moved around from year to year, such a
condition Is hardly likely, inasmuch as
the St. Martin's Club has fostered the
event since its Inception, and has put up
the trophies from year to year.
There is no real reason why Merlon
could not handle the men's tennis cham
pionship as well as It was handled by the
West Side Tennis Club. By using the
cricket field at least 25 courts, perhaps
more, would be available. The cricketers
should have no complaint to make.
un aaiuraays, whilo several hundred
tennis players are standing waiting for
courts, H cricketers are using the blugest
part of the turf. As there are close to
SOO tennis players at Merlon, against a
mere handful of cricketers, perhaps CO,
the latter should be willing to stand aside
for two weeks so as not to Interfere with
the tennis championships.
Certainly they will have nothing to
kick about, for the upkeep of the cricket
table. In proportion to the number of
members playing cricket, is much greater
'"" "' upkeep oi me tennis courts,
compared with tho number of active ten
nis players. '
If the Merlon Cricket Club's plea for
.inuuiiai tennis unampionsnip Is re
ceived cordially, the golf and tennis so
lons, should get together and decide on
dates that would not conflict. Rather
let tbe two events folow each other, so
that sportsmen and sportwomen from all
parts of the country may have the priv
ilege, never before offered, of witnessing
both events conveniently.
Merlon deserves consideration when the
question of rotating the allcomers ten
nis tournament Is brought up, for the
Haverford Club has gone to considerable
expense, year after year, In running off
the intercollegiate tennis championships.

Frank (Pop) O'Brien, matchmaker of
the Palace A. C, Norrlstown, this morn
ing closed for a third match between
Jimmy Murphy, of West Philadelphia,
and Bobbly Reynolds, of Southwark, for
next Tuesday night. The set-to will be n
ten-round affair, which probably will Jo
clde decisively which Is the superior flstl-
cufflan.
The clever lightweights met In a return
bout at the Douglas Club last night, and,
although not as fast as their first set-to,
It proved another Interesting contest and
pleased a big house. Murphy, because of
his aggressiveness, was entitled to the de
cision, by a shade.
Reynolds gave a clever exhibition of
boxing. He blocked and ducked many of
Murphy's leads, retaliating with left Jabs
to the face. Neither entry connected with
a telling punch. In the final round both
boys -(ought hard, exchanging punches
at closo quarters a greater part of the
period, and had the spectators on their
feet shouting their approval.
Bobby McCann, of Gray's Ferry, also
gave a splendid boxing exhibition In his
mix with Little Joe Tuber. Mao was a
victor at the conclusion of a fast fracas.
In the other bouts Danny Clarke quit to
Jimmy Devine In the fourth round,
Johnny Russell won from Kid Harris, in
three rounds, and Toung Britt defeated
Jake Myrlck.
Johnny Eckhardt will stage his first
amateur tournament at the National
Theatre tonight. Forty entries have been
received for the 110-pound class. Bouts
will bo staged biweekly, Wednesday and
Saturday nights. Lou Crimson will act
as the third man In the ring. Eckhardt
fhas decided to award gold watches and
d'amonri rings as first and second prizes,
respectively.
Tommy Buck postals from Qufbeo,
Can., that he. has arrived In that city
following his eight-round knockout over
K. O, Mars In Cincinnati last week. He
IS matched with K. O. Eggers in Quebec.
September 17,
Definite arrangements for the Joe Bor
relt.K. O. Sullivan match at Shenandoah,
October 6, were completed this morning.
The mtddlewelghts will meet at 158

Tommy Carey, of this city, will feature
in me opening snow or tho Olrardvlllo,
Pa., club, October 1. He will box Jack
Brazzo at 138 pounds.

WHAT THE PHILS MUST DO
TO WIN THE PENNANT
The league-leading ThUlles hare 14
more games to play. Boaton has IS
a-ma to play. One of Boston's tames Is
with St. Louis and mar net be pUyed as.
Brooklyn lias It to play.

If the I'hUMIes split e?en on 14 onti

13 out

Eight of the tamitV raaalolac II
games are wkb Beaten aiid Brooklyn.
With the Introduction of the forward
pass and "open football," the day of tho
easy praottce game early In the season
passed Into oblivion. No longer can the
coaches of "big" college elevens look with
scorn upon their smaller rivals and put
patched up, poorly coached teams on the
field, knowing that there Is no chance to
lose the game.
Onco upon a time the name and pres
tlgo of a university Were enough to strike
terror to the hearts of the opponents, but
at present conditions are reversed. Under
the new rules all teams are nearly equal
at this time of the year, and If thero is
any advantage It goes to the smaller
eleven.
In a big college scores of candidates
come out for the team, and )t takes weeks
of experimenting to find the proper men
for the positions. In the early games
there Is a constant stream of mih.tiintn.
running on to the field, players are shifted
from one place to another and at the end
tho team sometimes Is composed of men
who never played together before. Team
play Is impossible, and only the individual
brilliancy of the players can be depended
upon.
J3ecaus6 of this lack of co-ordination
and Inability to learn the signals for the
opening games players on the larger
teams are placed at a disadvantage.
Individually they are superior to their
opponents, but collectively they fall be
low par. It Is not an unusual thing for
a small college to triumph over a mem
ber of the "Big Five" early In tho year.
Cornell was defeated by Colgate last fall
and Penn lost to Franklin and Marshall.
Tale, Princeton and Harvard also have
had narrow escapes.
The reason for this is simple. In a
smaller college only a few candidates
come put for tho team. The coach picks
his men on the first day, and before a
week has passed they are rehearsing
plays to be used In- the first eami.. Thi
gives them a big advantage over their
rivals, for team work Is perfected and
the plays run off smoothly before the
other college selects its team.
With pleasant prospects In view, Penn
and Princeton probably will havo their
hands full next Saturday. This does not
mean that they are likely to be de
feated, but they will have to play some
regular football to win their 'games. The
Red and Blue lines up against the Unl
vehsity of West Virginia, one of the
strongest teams In the South, while the
Tigers clash with Georgetown, an eleven
composed mostly of veterans.
Penn will have the hardest task, as
the team has been playing together but
a short time and. as yet, no one knows
who will start the game. There Is no
doubt but that the strongest comblna
Hon will be selected for the curtain
raiser, for the strength of the West Vir
ginia team Is known and no chances will
be taken.
The Virginians are coached by Sol
Metzger, formerly head coach at Penn
sylvania, and with any kind of material
Is capable of turning out a strong team.
Judging from reports, the prospects are
good this year, so Penn has a touah
game to look forward to.

Brooklyn's Chance
If some wise Judge had framed a law
making It Illegal for Brooklyn to take a
Westery trip, the Dodgers would now be
ii lengtns beyond the field.
Playing through the East they have
moved along with a combination of gran
deur and pep. But white bleached bones
of their dream have been scattered thlsk
along the Western plains.
On their first Western jaunt the Dodg
ers lost 10 out of 12 starts. They tore the
Eastern roadbed Into shreds, but again
out West they were stopped with one of
those thuds that the novelist frequently
calls "dull and sickening." Having recov
ered this ground at home once more or
most of It even by taking three In a row
from tho Phillies, they have again been
unable to get a toe-hold upon Western
sod. Which accounts for tho fact that
Colonel Ebbets Is looking earnestly for
the soothsayer who first said "Go West,
young- man.
The Brave Barrier
The Braves won a pennant last fall
through fine fighting, fine pitching and a
club batting average of .252.
They have had good pitching and they
have fought well this season, but with a
batting average of .237, 10 points below
the next weakest batting club, they will
not have to travel any extended distance
to find out their Inability to repeat
The White Sox once won a pennant
with a batting average of .221. But they
stand as the only club ever developed
able to use one hit for the manufacture
of two runs.
Red Sox Strength
One esteemed critic has figured It out
that Red Sox preeminence in the pennant
race s due to fine defensive strength
great pitching and fine fielding.
This doesn't cover the entire scheme of
things. The Bed Sox "beyond the gray
ghost of a doubt have the finest defensivo
ball club In the game. They have always
had four or five star pitchers in shape,
