Xeeause an& don't forget It, fan P. J. Moran was leading them.

, The Splrltof Frank Selce Still LItcb
Xleven years, ago Frank Belee, who had vron pennants so often in Boston
. tat ths fans sot tired looking at tho Lowo-Long-Duffy-McCarthy-Tucker-BaiiB-Nach-aanzel
combination, constructed, a toam In Chicago, that afterward
iras turned over to Frank Chance. This team was known as tho "Peerless Cub"
machine and It swept everything beforo It until the Mackmcn crushed It In 1910.
m 1M6 this team won 118 games, tho largest number over captured by a major
league pennant winner. But It went down to defeat at the hands of tho White
Bex In the world's series. That victory of the Whito Box was admittedly a nuko,
and thereafter the-Cuba reigned supremo until tho Athletics beat them.
j A- Manager Who Always Looked Ahead
Seles, who tmllt that team, was tho greatest percentage manager who ever
handled a major league team. Ho was always looking ahead, and played the
game according to percentago at all times. Fat Moran was at that time playing
with Boston, and he had heard so much about the Soleo percentage system that
he became interested in It. After watching Seleo's work Moran became con
vinced .that tho Cub leader had the proper system.
'When 'he Joined the Phillies as o, player aftor being with the Cubs for
two years, Moran was always willing and anxious to talk about the percentage
system of working the pitchers. He often declared that the pennant In 1913
would have been won had this system boen used when the team was In the
( lead and had Alexander, Beaton, Mayer, Itlxey, Chalmers, Brennan and Moore
a; for a. pitching staff. That staff surpassed tho present pitching corps of the
; Phillies. But the pennant was lost because tho pitchers could not hold up
'; their end.
'ilj. . .
i- Moron's Hope in the Spring Was to Finish in First Division
if ' Shortly after Moran was appointed manager of tho Phillies he told the
i Kvbnino Xxsoeb representative that while his team did not look great, ho
thought It bad a chance to finish up In the raco if his pitchers kept free from
iff accident. At tho time ho explained Just how he Intended to play percentage
.' with Alexander and Mayor, two twirlcrs who should win at least 60 per cent.
i . t their games, with an oven break of luck.
!
; 1 Hew the Phllly Leader Figured on Ills Pitchers
'!' , Moran figured that two pitchers winning 60 per cent, of their games, It
' i iHiftnlil "rjnlT T-t Yitfflfmnrr to havo two more twirlers who could get an even
break working regularly, and the Phillies would finish well over tho i600 mark,
whleh would enable the team to finish In the first division. This was tho real
,' aim o the Phllly leader when ho took the position.
When the season opened Moran realized that the Braves were not going
to be so strong as was expected and that the Giants had gone to smash.
Tfces after getting a wonderful lead by winning the first nine games, Moran
waMced that he had a chance for tho pennant if his pitching staff held up.
The Problem of the Trump Card, Alexander
Moran was always known as a great developer of pitchers. He knew
when his men were right and that Is why the Phillies have been favored by
remarkable twirling. He worked his pitchers better than any other leader
the game has known in years and really outclassed Selee, tho originator of
the percentage system. Alexander has been sent to the mound as often as
possible and yet has not been overworked.
Whenever' the weather Interfered for a day or two Moran Immediately
eat Alexander back to the mound It it so happened that he had pitched the
day before the rain. In this way Moran continually side-tracked other pitchers
to get the full benefit of Alexander's wonderful ability. Other pitchers havo
keen worked accordingly.
.
Where the Pitchers'
rae might be successful against a certain team and' unable to stop an
other. Instead of sending pitchers Into the game against teams which had
always beaten hte), Moran switched his pitchers and sent the man In who
hast shown best against that particular team.
Other saanagers, follow the old cutand-drled policy of getting four pitchers
werklBg well and using them In regular
away from that method and figured
ienumerable games have been won that
Percentage Play
Tie percentage system was used
were taken on certain fielding
i the plays failed to work, and It looked like poor managerial work, but when
tW move turned out right the result was startling. And Moran never used a
ptajr of any sort that he did not have carefully mapped out, with the percentage
t sueoess or failure carefully figured.

BIG SIXS ELEVEN
IN THEIR INITIAL
FRAYS SATURDAY
Penn Meets West Virginia,
Yale Plays Georgetown,
Harvard vs. Colby
LINE-UP FOR QUAKERS
There are many uneasy coaches all
over tho East awaiting the outcome of
the football games t'nelr teams are sched
uled to play tomorrow. Although four
Stato teams played their lint games last
Saturday, ttvo members of the "Dig SlxV
and a host of minor colleges got their
first taste of real gridiron warfare to
morrow. Of tho "Big Six" the University of
Pennsylvania plays West Virginia,
Princeton plays Georgetown. Yale tackles
Maine, Harvard lines up against Colby
and Dartmouth starts with the Massa
chusetts Aggies. Cornell's opening has
been delayed until Tuesday, when Gettys
burg will try out the Ithacans.
Locally, of course chief Interest will
centre in Pennsylvania's opening game
with West Virginia. The coaches do not
know how strong their own team is, and
they know less about the strength of tho
Southerners. The fact Is that the Qua
ker coaching staff is not so much con
cerned over how strong West Virginia will
be as how the many new men in their
own line-up will stand up against a strong
opponent
It Is almost certain that every mem
ber of tho Pennsylvania backflcld will
wear tho Rod and BIuo for the flrst time.
There may be three veterans' In the line,
with two more men who last year played
In tho backflcld, but who this year are oc
cupying positions on the forward line.
At best there will be only five veterans
In the flrst Une-up and possibly only three.
And even this number is likely to be re
duced to ono before the game Is long
under way.
The necessity of deperfdihg upon so
many new men constitutes the real men
ace of the Pennsylvania team. Bev
eral of them are touted, as wonders. Pos
sibly they will develop well, but it is
pretty hard to get good-'team work out
of a lot of green men, no matter how
brilliant they are individually.'
The flrst choice for Quarterback will be
either Bell or Grant, who alternated In
this position on last year's freshman
team. Bell has had flrst call all week,
but largely because he was with the
varsity at Port Deposit most of the time.
Grant, who has been doing a lot of BCholas
tlo work to get off some conditions. Is
picked to beat Bell out before long. Mur
dock, who played quarterback part of
last year, would probably start In this
osltlon but for a slight Injury. .
Howard Berry has been selected for the
ttllback position. Here he will do the
kicking and will probably be the mainstay
In the attack. His work will be watched
with tho greatest Interest to see whether
he plays as brilliantly In a scheduled
game as he does against the scrubs. Will
iams will not be able to start at halfback
on account of a slight Injury and Dough
erty will probably take his place, with
P.oss or Welsh the other ihalfback.
Tno line promises to be Urquhart and
l Hopkins at ends, Harris and Matthews
at -ta$l,' Henning and Nelll at guards
and Wray at centre. At the beginning of
tne season tho coaches were worried sick
over the line prospects, but the forwards
have been developing better than the
backs.
No one knows the strength of West
Virginia, whose team is a new opponent.
It Is coached by Bo! Metsger, captain and
end on the 1903 team and head coach here
In 1908. Metzger is reported to have built
up a good team and one stronger than
the Quakers usually have for the opening
game.
Of all the other big Eastern teams a
lot of attention will be focused on Is
Princeton, where a new man, "Speedy"
John Bush, Is trying to put the Tigers
on a winning basis. Princeton meets
Georgetown and If the two teams are the
average in strength the Tigers ought to
win without difficulty.
The laot that Rush was not a football
player himself when at Princeton and
that this Is his first year as a college
coach has aroused a great deal of specu
lation as to the success of his methods.
Tale has a big bunch of veterans with
which to tackle Maine. Two years ago
Maine held Tale to a 0-0 score In the
early part of the season, but last year
the mils won easily by a score of 20-0.
Tale ought to win tomorrow without
much difficulty. Coach Frank Hlnkey
has been working with a big squad of
men for three weeks at Madison, Conn.,
so that the team should be pretty well
advanced by this time.
As for Harvard, the Colby team does
not look threatening even with the Crim
son team lacking half of last year's vet
erans. Harvard, like Tale, has had three
weeks of preliminary practice, and any
thing that Colby does will not be on ac
count of Jack of condition by Harvard.
Of all the big teams, Dartmouth has
had 'the advantage of the most prelimin
ary preparattou, for the Hanover mea
began work on September i. They do not

How Aro You Picking 'Em?
It might be admitted oft hand, via tho
eternal dope, that the Phillies haven't a
chance with the Red Box. It might oe
admitted that they haven't a chance to
beat a ball club that beat tho Tigers U
out of 22 games,
But then the Phillies never had a chance
to win tho pennant. And the Braves
never had a chance to beat the Mackmcn
last fall. And Wlllard never had a chance
to beat Jphnson. And Btandlsh nover had
a chanco to beat Oulmet And Johnson
never had an outside chance to beat Behr,
Williams and Mclaughlin in a row.
The "Never-Had-a-Chance" Club
Tho "never-had-o-chance" entries are
the ones who have done the bulk of the
damage tills season. Also last, season.
There seems to bo a well-defined ad
vantage in being picked to lose. These
are tho folk who have amassed the bulk
of fame for at least tv years.
How many experts bJlieved at this date
last season the Braves could win two
games out of six from the Mackmen
much less four out of four? Not one In
77. To say that any first class entry
"hasn't got a chance" Is more than mak
ing a sweeping statement. It has an
Intimate liking to the art of articulating
through one's hat. For It is always well
to remember that the Phll)iea already
have done a big lot more than any
thought they could do. And Just at pres
ent this soems to be a bull market for
the once low stocks.

To begin with, the Phillies have never
won a world series bofore, largely be
cause they have never had a chance even
to start one through 40 years of wander
ing across the Barren Lands,
Also, tho Red Sox havo nover lost a
world's series. They havo only been in
two, but they beat the Pirates In 1903 and
the Gldnts In 1913. No Boston club has
ever lost a world series a record that
belongs to no other city. Giants, Ath
letics, Cubs, Tigers, 'PIratcs.t at one time
or another have all absorbed It In high
ly vulnerable spots. But Boston, up to
1916, has ben Impregnable to any world
series assault. Which Is a hunch you
may employ Ithcr way that they are
duo or otherwise.
In stating that the Red Six and Braves
aro the only clubs that never lost a
world series we erred. Neither havo the
Reds or Yanks.

Carrlgan may be bothered a bit as to
which slabman ho will start the series

the manly bosom of Pat Moran. For Pat

that it won't be Demaree, Chalmers, Rlx

Travera and Ouimet
"The biff slump taken this season by
Travers and Ouimet" begins a golf
writer, who Is evidently entitled to an
other guess. Travers still happens to be
open golf champion of America. The
slump he has taken Is a goed bit UkeMho
terrific slump that has assailed tho Red
Sox, tho Phillies, Ty Cobb and Alexander.
The fact that Travers failed to win
the amateur after landing the open Is
hardy to be ranked as any slump, In
view of the fact that no golfer has ever
turned this double trick In America and
only two have ever done so In England.
It Is something like saying a fellow has
gone broke because he has only saved
five mlllon out of the wreck.
Red Sox and Phillies can still lose the
pennantr-by departing day after tomor
row for Riga to assist the Russians In
keeping their front south of the North
Pole.

Jimmy Fryer never fought or boxed
better than he did last night at the Broad

flstlo enthusiasts treated to a better ex

tn the second and last rounds Fryer
tried to slug with his husky opponent and
as a result received the worst of the go
ing. In the other sessions Baker was un
able to land cleanly, due to the speed and
shitting of Frytfr. About one out of every

Jo Indulge In any pen
'nant talk, but some
times I am forced to
listen to what my
friends have to say
about it I say I am
forced to listen, be
cause I really do not
like to get my mind on
the subject As has
been reneatedly stated,
ALEXANDKK.
Manager Moran has been anxious to keep
pennant thoughts out of our mental
works.
However, my Pittsburgh acaualntanoe
mado ono statement that caused mo'to do
some thinking. "Brooklyn Is oot o good
road club,',' he said. "On the ether hand,
Boston may play capital ball away from
home, for the Braves are that type of
men. I figure that the Phillies must beat
Boston, and to accomplish that they must
show class on the road,"
Without commenting on the possible
truth ot tho above statement. I will say
that It always has seemed mighty peculiar
to me that some basoball aggregations
are known as "ffood road clubs," while
others aro rather expected to lose more
games than they win when they are trav
eling. I am not denying that such a
condition doer exist
There aro several reasons why a club
might hit a slump on the road, I suppose.
They do not get the advantage of morn
ing practice, for one thing. They are
playing beforo crowds which usually are
rooting had for the home club, and that
may havo effect oft men of a nervous and
excitable temperament They must make
long and hard railroad Jumps, and some
men never feel rested after a night on,
a sleeping car. They must perform on
foreign parks, and the change In the
scenic 'conditions may disturb a batsman,
while tho lnfielder, outnelder and pitcher
may be upset by some grounds which
are not quite to his liking.
Alt these are reasons which may causo
Individual players to play tho game below
'their usual standard. But they do not
explain wliy some teams ore gooa on tne
road while others nearly always slump
when they depart from their home lot
I believe It is largely a mental condi
tion. That Is, I figure that some teams
are "poor road clubs" because they think
they ar "poor road clubs." Others play
about as well or. In rare cases, better
when traveling, because they get an Idea
In their heads that it's a welcome change
to get away from home and Invade the
parks of the other league aggregations.
Bofar as I am personally concerned, I

helped a whole lot this season by the
good crowds that came out to sea then
piny at nome.
But, as I said before, I am sure trial
there Is nothing more than a mental con.
dltlon which, makes a ball club lose con
sistently when traveling. If the Individ
uals kept their minds strictly on the game
and forgot what park they were playW
in tnero would be no such thing as a good,"

On the other hand, I must admit Ui&V
traveling In the West In midsummer (even'
In September this year) Is likely to upset
a man physically and mentally, Thos
of you who have been In St Louis. Chi
cago and Cincinnati when the thermomv,
eter was above 10 degrees, will know,
what I mean. But even then If a player.
takes good care of himself and conserve:
all his strength for the two or three houn
ne must spend In the sun at the ball park.
he will be able to play ball just as well
as the men who must live In these western
cities while their clubs aro at home.
My only hope Just now la that we will
provo a much better road club than sotae
persons, think we are.
