ONE LOSS FOR BOSTON CLINCHES
NATIONAL LEAGUE FLAG FOR PHILS
Brooklyn Eliminated by Cincinnati Braves Must Win
Every Game and Phillies Lose All to Produce
Tie in Final Standing
Italn, which caused the postponement of the rhllly-ChlcnRO game, and the
feat ot the Dodgrera at the hands of Cincinnati virtually destroyed all hope
et Brooklyn overhauling; the leaders, while Boston's chances were lessened
because the postponement cannot be played off, and therefore that game can
not be lost.
An It now stands the Thlllles need to win but one Kamo from Boston, and It
will bo Impossible for them to Bet worse than a tie If the entire schedule Is
played out and the Dodsers and Braves win all their remaining carries while
the Phillies lose all.
If the Phillies should lose seven Barnes, but win one from Boston, they would
have 86 victories and 67 defeats, while Boston, by winning the other eight Barnes
en Its schedule, would have the same standing; but Brooklyn, by winning Us eight
M and losing none, would have 86 victories and 68 defeats, and is therefore
tort of the running,
Pennant Should De Cl'nched By Wednesday
It U possible and likely that the Phillies will clinch the pennant by
Wednesday. A victory over the Codgers on Tuesday and another over the
Braves will settle the race. Alexander probably will pitch the opening game
ta Boston and should win.
Chalmers has been pitching wonderful ball, whllo Itlxey has won five out
eC six games from the Braves this season. If both games result In victories,
the pennant will be clinched and there will be a great celebration among the
faithful, who have waited 83 years for a triumph of the Phillies.
Phillies Set a Terrific Pace in the West
To assure the pennant the Phillies were forced to go through the West at a
Wonderful clip. Prior to the trip Just closed the Phillies had little success In
the West, and It was upon this-that the Braves and Dodgers based their pennant
hopes. Both Brooklyn and Boston had unusual success also, but the Phillies
went a trifle faster.
Out of 16 games played In the West the Phillies were tjcaten but four times,
a remarkable performance. Other teams In the past made their Invasion at a
speedier clip, but none has dono it when there was so much at stake nnd after
suoh a gruelling race. One game was lost in each city, and strangely enough
the Phillies were shutout In each.
Alexander and Chalmers Should Carry World's Scries Durden
The pitching staff performed in great shape. Alexander did not lose a game
nor was It necessary to overwork him to bring the team back In position to
trade; clinch the pennant so easily. Tho main
land tho standpoint was Chalmers' sensational
ftcy In Ci king Is In prime shape for tho world's
Democrat, Given a fair nercentiiEe of the
pitchers In the country to beat, because he always has enough In reserve to
pull out without damage when runners were in position to score. With Chalmers
allowing splendid form, the Phillies' chances in the world's series appear to be
bright. S
Braves and Dodsers Have Made Great Fight
Boston and Brooklyn have both fought a wonderful uphill battle; In fact,
they have hung on much better than was expected. As a general thing, a team
that Is coming from behind loses heart when the leader refuses to slacken up;
but both rivals are fighting and will 'continue to fight until It is a mathematical
Impossibility for the Phillies to lose.
The Dodgers have made many friends throughout the country because they
have fought In a clean and commendable manner. It Is a pity that the same
thing cannot be said for the team that startled the baseball world by defeating
the Athletics in the last baseball classic.
Wouldn't It Be Awful If the Phillies Should Lose!
There Is one chance In a million that the Phillies will be beaten out for
jjfcpannant, but does any one realize
city If they were beaten? A defeat for
this, city for years to come, or at least until a new championship machine Is
constructed.
Pans who have waited 33 years to see the Phillies win a pennant and those
who have been waiting patiently for 11 years to see their favorites in a world's
series would never have confidence In a Phllly team again.
Arrangements are being made by the fans to see the series, and It is taken
as a foregone conclusion that the pennant has been won.
Loss of a Pennant Made Amateur Ball in Cleveland
The fans In Cleveland made Blmilar preparations back in 190S, and when
the team was beaten out on the last day there were thousands who turned to
the amateur game and who have never attended a major league game In
Cleveland since. That Is why the amateur game in Cleveland has taken such
a strong hold that 60,000 persons recently attended a contest where admission
was charged.
hfobody would be more disappointed than the club officials who stayed at
home to prepare for tho series. Secretary Guy Constans Is busy filing away
applications for tickets, while Treasurer Snyder is working overtime taking care
of the money. The builder of the park. Jim Foster, has men at work
constructing additional seats to hold 1000 in deep centre field, and new boxes
are being built about the field.
Pfeffer, of Brooklyn, the Real Iron Man .
Some time ago It was contended In these columns that Jeff Pfeffer was the
only Brooklyn pitcher who would be able to stnnd up under the strain unless
fi her rod Smith should cqme back to his early season form. That such was tho
case Is evident, as Pfeffer Is the only twirler on .Robinson's Btaff who has been
able to bo to the mound out of turn and 'continue to pitch winning ball.
Starting with the afternoon game on Labor Day against the Phillies, Pfeffer
pitched six brilliant games and acted in relief role twice. This makes eight
times he has been on the mound In 20 days. The Phillies were beaten on Iibor
Day 7 to 3, and got but five hits. In the five full games since that time Pfeffer
has allowed but six runs and 25 hlu, but lost two of the games, both by the
Jcore of 1 to 0, one of them being an lUnning defeat, while one vu-torv was n
r",X to 0; duel v'th George Tyler, which
H
Young Ray Promises to Be Another Eddie Plank
Manager Mack sent a young southpaw named Bay from Greensboro, of the
Carolina Association, to the mound In the first game on Saturday, and he failed
to last four Innings. This was not a very Impressive Bhowlng, but that young
nan Is due to be one of the greatest 'left-handed twlrlers In the game If some
ef Mack's wise veterans are to be believed. ,
Bay needs control and nervo only to occupy the.posltlon vacated by Eddie
Plank, after he has been schooled and the rough spots smoothed over. It will
take more than a few games to find out Just how strong Is the youngster's nerve.
Ray pitches entirely unlike any left-hander who ever broke intq tho major
leagues In this city. lie has -an underhand delivery that is a duplicate of the
ene Earle Moore had, and In addition he has that peculiar overhand cross-fire
swing Eddie Flank used. Ray's fast ball breaks late and fast, while his cross
art curve sweeps past the left-handed hitters with blinding speed.
Walljr Schang Wins Over Fans Who Panned Him
Just a few weeks ago the bleacherites panned Wally Schang unmercifully
for mlsplays In tho outfield. Now they are cheering him. He is still far from
being even a fair fielding outfielder, but ho is Improving so rapidly, tries so hard,
and has such an abundance of nerve that the fans would rather have htm out
there muffing fly balls than somo other outfielder making sensational plays.
Schang'a refusal to stop hustling when there was no chance to advance In
the race la thoroughly appreciated by the faithful few who are on hand each
afternoon.

OPINIONS OF EXPERTS
J. i:d. Orlllo In the Wanhlnston fltaN
"Johnny Evrrs, who has quite n repu
tation for picking winners In baseball.
Rives It ns his opinion that the Phillies
will beat the Red Box.
"Evers, like most others who share this
opinion, believes tlint Alexander alone
can win the tltio of world champion for
his team. Thjs Is what Cvers said in St.
Louis the other day:
" "The greatest pitcher In baseball today
will carry tho burden for the National
League.r And he'll hold up his end.
Player against player, ihe Phillies may
not compare with the Red Sox. But in
a world series tt Isn't player against
plaver. It Is a team against a team,
blcpcet advantage between pitcher and
pitcher.
" 'American Leaguers are overlooking
the most Important angle In this coming
world series. It Is the home of the Phil
lies the short right nhrl left-Held fences.
That will Ee the Phillies a big advan
tage when playing on their grounds, for
tho Boston pitchers will try to keep them
from hitting over tho fences, and the re
sult will be that they will be wild.' "
"Caaej .lonra" In the Chicago Tott
"With the Phils and Red Sox In the
world series, I pick the Thlls to win.
"There arc two reasons. Ono Is Grover
Alexander. Tho other Is that the Phils,
playing on their own clgarbox park, have
a big edge on all opponents.
"The rlsht-tleld fence nnd the left-field
bleachers In the Phil park are not as far
from home plate as they are In regular
mnn-slzed parks. Ball's that go over tho
fence and Into the bleachers for homers
would bo caught on regular fields.
"The Phil team Is built to fit the park.
Cravath, Luderus, Nlchofr and most of
the other Phils are big men, who can hit
the ball a mile. They are Just the kind
of swatters needed to drop long files over
the fence and Into the bleachers for cir
cuit trips.
"Besides that, the Phil players have
trained themselves to hit to right field.
They have drilled themselves to aim for
that short right-field fence. Cravath and
Nlehoff, right-hand batters, would nat
urally hit Into left field, and so would
Bancroft, the little shortstop, but they
have practiced until they can hit 'em a
mile Into light.
"Luderus and Becker, left-hand hitters,
naturally hit into right field, and they
have laid some nice games on the shelf
for the Phils this jear with drives over
the short fence.

"While It Is almost a foregone conclusion
the Rex Sox will go Into the coming
world series favorites over the Phillies,
actual quotation of odds are being held
up on account of one thing the date for
sporting events today was met with the
the places usually offering odds on big
sporting eevnts today was met with the
same answer everywhere 'Walt until we
see the date.' Never before was such a
thing as a date such an item of seemingly
vast Importance.
An explanation was asked for, and re
ceived. Here It Is:
The Phillies want the series to start
on Saturday, October 9, said one sport
ing man. Now, It's a 100 to 1 shot, or
n 1000 to 1 shot, almost, that Alex
ander will pitch the first game By
starting the series on Saturday, Moran
could rhoot Alexander back at the
Red Sox on Monday with a day's rest,
which Is all he needs. Now, assuming
that Alexander won the first game on
Saturday, going back Monday, with a
day's rest, would change the complex
Ion of the series a wholo lot. Assum
ing that he won the second game, too,
it would put Boston In a pretty deep
hole. Of course, this Is all dope, but
believe me, I'm taking no chances
with that bird Alexander figuring In
Now, If the series starts on Friday,
the 8th, and Alexander works the first
game. We can't go back Saturday, and
I figure either Shore. Leonard, Ruth,
Wood or Foster Is better than Moran's
second-choice pitchers. See?
The Detroit Journal aajet
"Alexander does not consider himself
the whole Quaker team. He has heaps
of good things to say about his team
mates. But If folks think that the burden
of winning the World's Series falls on
him, he's willing to shoulder that burden.
In an Interview on the subject, he de
livered himself of these nuggets:
I will be able to pitch every game
In the series If I am called upon.
I am not overworked today. They
tell mo I have pitched 360 Innings. I
cannot erlty this, but I will pitch
every third game until we clinch the
flag.
I find that I can pitch better when
I am worked regularly than when I
rest four or five days, and regularly
Is every third day.
I have not studied the Red Sox. I
will rely on my own "stuff" to beat
them, and the boys with me.
I am not the whole team. I would
never win but for their support and
I will say that frequently they have
saved me.
Boston may boast of some great hit
ters, but I think we have some fence
busters who will equal the Red Box
sluggers.
I don't know what Manager Mqran's
plans are with me for the series.
You'll have to ask him about that.
He's the boss, and I take my orders
from Pat.
If wa can win the first game, they'll
never stop us. If we drop the first
one, we will not be beaten until they
win the fourth one."

the car; "yep, that's him, all rlsht. Barn

eh, what?"
"Not so bad," said Policeman 4S7S; "but
he looks better than that In his uniform.
My, oh, my, how that boy can slam 'em

-a novel?"
"I dunno," said Conductor 73: "but
1 think It's something he's studying. i
haul him out to the park two or three
times i week, and he's laways alone,
and always got his nose In that black

"Gee I" sighed Conductor 770 enviously,
"you coppers aude do have It softl Tou
get to see all the games, and you never
pay a cent. Me I'm In big luck. If I get
a chance to give up my dough three
times a season, and then I'm likely to
catch a tall-end team that can't play
ball fast enough to keep warm. I
wouldn't mind bcln' a bull myself."
"No, I suppose not." There was vine
gar In the policeman's tone. "It ain't
quite so soft as you think, m. friend.
You get your little old eighty-three
thirty-three a month, but every crook In
the country Is entitled to tako a shot at
you, and every hoodum sits up nights
trying to get a chance to bounce a brick
off our bean. A swell Job not! Now,
If jou're wishing, why don't ou wish
jourself a ball player? Look at Clifton
In there. Good clothes, diamonds, ex
pensive eats, and five or six thousand
a year. For what? For working a
couple of hours once or twice a week
while the sun Is shining. When it gets
cold, he can duck to Florida, or some
other warm climate. That's what I'd
call a cinch."
"JLlmayi get M note in that Hack book."
"Somehow," said Conductor 77U oracu
larly, "a feller Is never satisfied. I s'pose
there's folks who would like to be street
car conductors. Tes, it's pretty sbft for
'Duke'; but, man, look who he Is! To
my way of thlnkln', he's the best pitcher
the Ponies have had since Hogaji ran
out. The Duke Is certainly eatln' that
book alive. Must be interesting read
ing." Inside the car, propped up In a corner
seat, perfectly oblivious of his surround
ings, Sherwood Clifton, known to the
baseball world as "The Duke." was find
ing most interesting material In the black
book, and his thoughts pursued the fol
lowing channel:
"Let's see," reflected the Duke. "Here's
Jane Doe In the third race, five furlongs,
and 102 pounds. What did she do the
last time out? Ah! Fifth to Breadal
bane, Joyful Jerry and there's a sweet
coltl Hetmwlch, and Fair Lillian. Pretty
fast time and track conditions better
than they will be today. This time Jane
is In with a lot of tramps, and If she's
ever going to make good this Is her
chance. If she can run fifth to good
horses she ought to trim these beagles
like breakln' sticks. M-m-m-mt They
played her some the last time out. From
SO down to 20. Led Into the stretch, but
quit when Breadalbane got to her. Had
103 pounds on her that day; now she's
got three less in a shorter race against
worse horses. She might be a good bet
across the board, but first I'll look up the
rest of 'em. Might be a sleeper In there."
And so on, ad Infinitum.

Duke spet so much time with the black
bock, tho tame being nothing more or
less than a collection of form charts on
the current race meet
They have disappeared from tho
sporting pages of the newspapers In the
last two yeacs, but every one remembers
the form chart that tabulated state
ment, mostly figures which stood as
the basis of all turf computations. The
fight fan spends hours poring over rec
ords, the baseball fan devours tho .in
ijUal guide; the follower of the ponies
burned the midnight oil over the form
chart, by far the most complicated rec
ord of the three
As nearly as possible, the dally form
chart embalmed the history of each sep
arate race In figures, preserving the con
test in cold type for future comparison.
By means of the form book, it -asfpos-slble
to trare the career of a horse from
beginning to end, and follow him
through each race-now fifth, now
third, now leading at the sixteenth pole,
now beaten a nose under a hard drive.
Which horse was first away from
the post in the last Futurity? Look It
up In the form book. Where was the
favorite at the head of the stretch? See
the chart. What was the high betting
on the horse which finished fifth? The
chart again.
Had every race been honestly run, and
had each horse traveled true to his best
mark, the form books would have put
all the bookmakers out of business In
a very short time, for with the form

expert known as tho handtcappcr, or form

who lives on figures, eats them, sleeps
them, breathes them.
He could tell you exactly how many
feet a certain horse should run In a
second, and how much difference eacn
added pound would make. He could tell
you how far In front a particular herse
should be at the half pole, and how lar
behind the field at the wire. After he
had finished working over the entries
and penciling each separate squad down
to the wire, he would have the horses

but the cashing o' .ne tickets. In case
of argument, he could produce so many

credit for marvelous .penetration, and be

"All out for the ball park!" bawled
Conductor 7749.
The Duke thrust the form book Into
his breast pocket and swung out on the
platform.
"Hand It to 'em today, old man!" said
the conductor effusively.
"They'll know thcy'vo been to a ball
game," laid the Duke.
"That's right!" said Conductor 7749.
When ho got to the car barn he would
electrify hla companions with a mono
toguo beginning:
"I was talking to Duke Clifton today,
and he says to me, he says "
The Duke passed through the employes'
gate, wacd tils hand at the men he
knew, and proceeded on hie way to the
clubhouse; but he was not thinking abou
baseball. He was wondering if Jane Doe
could give away four pounds to a beast
named Smiling Sam and beat him to the
wire. It was early, and the stands were
deserted; only the groundkeeper was vis
ible, pottering about third base.
In the clubhouse Clifton found several
of the Tonles deep In a game of stud
poker, 15-cent limit There are club
houses where this sort of thing Is not
encouraged; but Monk Lawson, manager
of the Tonles, was a liberal man In every
sense of the word.
"I don't want any long-haired base
ball players," he used to say. "Give me
a bunch of sports every time, and I'll
string with 'cm as far as they go."
In fact, Monk strung with them to
such nn extent that some of the players
complained that they worked for him for
board and clothes, tho manager winning
their salaries away from them at poker
and crap.
"But at that," Harry McCarter Used to
say, "you got to give It to the sucker.
He's sure broad-minded. All .you got to
do when you play ball for him Is to keep
out of Jail."
"HI, Duke!" said "Bush" Hawley, who
had Just received a pair of kings', back to
back, and could afford to be cheerful.
"Sit In here, and make your fortune!"
Clifton swept the visible assets with his
eye.
"No," he said; "not with you pikers.
A man might play 25-cent limit all night,
and It he had luck he might not lose
more than a $3 note. Take off the limit,
and I'll go you."
"Listen at him!" growled "Dutch"
Orendorff, who still retained traces of
his New England thrift. "Here we are
far from pay day, and this millionaire
wants to take off the limit! Tou must
have got a long shot yesterday, Duke."
"Oh, not so long," said Cnrton, airily.
