J! Zn with the club. Knabo was at second,
Elt'Doolan at Bhort and Lobert was the third
i baseman. Our chief utility lnflcldcr was
nun IVnlth. and n young college player.
Lehr, was with us part of that year, at
I least. Now Knabe, Doolan and Walsh
tfare In the Federal League, LOfccrt is with
' the Cllants and I don't just Know wnat
i has become of Lehr.
t Our outfield that year was Magee, Pas
'. Vert and Titu at tho start of the sca-
'son, with Welchonce a utility gardener.
Later, when Titus broke his leg ,ind Ma
f.e was out of tho game, wo got Fred
Heck and Roy Thomas to help us out.
Of the three regulars, Magee Is with the
f, Boston Braves, Faskert still plays ceni
Ire for us and Titus nas quit uasuDan
and recently was married, by tho way a
great surprise to his former pals, since
John never was much of a "ladies' man."
The chief catcher In 1911 was Charley
Dooln, and he also was tho manager. Pat
Moran did some of the catching then,
too. When Dooln broko his leg about
the time we thought wo had a good
chance for the flag, the management ob
tained Tommy Madden, Jack Klelnow,
Tubby Spencer and Dick Cotter to help
out. Of that sextet only Moran remains
with tho Phillies, and he Is the manager
now. Dooln Is with the New York Giants

and he Is the only one of tho others still
In our league.
We had a bunch of pitchers, but the
chief ones wore Moord. Chalmers, Curtis,
Bill Burns, Humphries. Kwlng, neebe,
Roy an. Stack, Shultr, Brcnnan and my
seir. Some of these men were with the
club only a part of the season. As I
havo said, Chalmers and jours truly are
the only ones remnlntng.
In 1913 our Infield won the same that Is,
Luderus, Knnbe, Doolan and Lobert, with
Hunt Wnlsh as the chief substitute. But
wo also had Dodge, Reed and Bobby
Byrne. Hxccptlng Luderus, Byrne Is the
only member of that Infield crowd with
us today.
Our regular outfloldcrs In 1013 wero Ma
gee, Paskert and Cravath. The latter
two hold the berths now. But we 'nad
that year Becker, "Doo" Miller, Josh
DeVoro and "Cosey" Dolan, nil listed as
gardeners. Becker Is the one man of the
bunch who Is on our list right now.
Dooln, Killefer, Moran, Howley and
radio Burns were the catchers. Three
of them arc with us now Moran, Killefer
and Burns.
The pitchers Included Beaton, Chal
mers, Mayer, Moore, Rlxey, Brennan,
Imlay, Marshall, FInneran, Tlncup and
myself. Chalmers, Rlxey, Tlncup and
myself are still hanging around.
All of the players L havo mentioned
were splendid fellows, and many of them
became closo friends of mine. Borne,
too, were first-class ball players, and
still are. It Just has happened that In
the five seasons there have been very
good reasons for changes and tho build
ing up of what virtually Is a now base
ball machine.
A ball player really docs not know ono
day where he will bo tho next that Is,
a good many of them. Some are for
tunate, In that they possess exceptional
ability, and the club that has them
keeps them under contract and playing
regularly as long as they "go good" and
unless something makes a change of
scenery best for them. However, the
majority are lucky If they last one or two
seasons with the same club.
This has been an unusual season In re
gard to the movements of ball players.
A number of men have gone from our
club to teams that have been In the pen
nant fight. Almost every pennant-contending
club In tho two leagues has sev
eral men who have been happy because
they believed they had Jumped Into a pot
of gold the world's series check. A num
ber of them are bound to be disappointed.
Others will get the money and honors that
come with the championship.
Baseball 1b a game of chance, for the
players, so far as the pennant Is con
cerned. There have been seasons when
a man felt pretty certain that If he got
on the Cubs, Giants or Pirates, or Ath
letics, Tigers or Red Sox, the chances
wero pretty fair that he'd be In the
world's series. This year the man who
could have picked his club at the start
of the season probably would have been
disappointed right now.
I sometimes wonder whether I will bo
pitching two years more, and If I am, and
tho Phillies are In the fight then, how
many of my present team mates will be
with mo at that time.

PENG'S BUNCH OF ROOKIES
MAY YET PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL
Quaker Showing Against West Virginia Not Disap
pointing to Coaches, Who Really Could Not Expect
Much of Its Raw Material Berry's Great Work
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
The University of Pennsylvania foot
ball coaches, knowing tho mntcrlal with
which they started the season, ought to
be satisfied with the way their team
came through its first came with West
Virginia, It was to a lot of green men
that they Intrusted tho gridiron honor of
tho Red and Blue. Because tho players
were so raw tho coaches had been ablo
to teach thorn In advance hardly half a
dozen plays, while they had not prog
ressed beyond tho first stages In tho rudi
ments of defense. It was because the
men did fairly well tho little they had
loen .taught that the coaches should bo
satisfied.
This year's team Is being developed
upon scientific principles For the lant
three weeks every precaution has been
taken to ground the men In the rudi
ments, particularly defense. Progressive
development In attack, defense and physi
cal condition Is the aim of the coaches.
This means that tlvcro nro not likely to
bo any big early season scores, even If
the team Is ablo to roll them up,
Dartmouth, Michigan and Cornell are
the games toward which this team Is
being pointed. The coaches are nnxlous
to avoid tho unpleasant experience of
waking up In mldseason to discover that
their men do not know tho rudiments ot
the game, and then bo obliged to woste
valuablo tlmo In tho most critical part ot
the season teaching them the funda
mentals. It was fortunate for this coaching pol
icy that "West Virginia was stronger
and better coached than most of the
teams the Quakers are accustomed to
meet In opening games. The visitors
knew more football than tho homo team
and they were In splendid physical con
dition, but In spite of this handicap the
Quakers were tho better team and thor
oughly deserved to win. Their beBt play
ing was In the first five minutes of the
game, when, after holding West Vir
ginia helpless, they carried the ball half
the length of the field for a touchdown.
It was good football and consistent team
work that earned that score. The team
had a good many lapses as the game
progressed, but they were looked for.
Tho two features of the game which
promise most were the surprisingly good
work of the lino and the punting of How
ard Berry. From the start ot the sea
son outsiders have feared that the line
would prove the weakest part of tho
team. The backfleld will Improve a lot
from this time forward, but Iho fact re
mains that the forwards not only played
better than had been anticipated, but
they did better than any of the backs.
Wray"s play at centre was surprisingly
good. He handled the ball cleanly, though
the new otyle of quarterback play helped
him. Otherwise he was perhaps the
most active man on the field. On kicks
he succeeded In getting down with the
ends, and he always followed the ball,
Ho promises to develop Into a typical
Pennsylvania centre.
Of the other forwards Matthews gave a
good exhibition. Like Wray, he was
always quickly down the field and he

followed tho ball. Tho other forwards
played their positions with spirit and
will undoubtedly continue to be first
choices here. On the ends, Urquhart and
Hopkins played better than any of the
men who succeeded them.
Because of their experience, they were
"nested to do this. Stack, the coaches
thlrtk, has more natural ability than
either of theso men. but he has a lot to
learn In defensive football and In play
ing against tho tacklo before he ousts
cither of last year's veterans.
It Is likely that Miller, who was Stack's
running mate last year on the freshman
team, will get Into the gamo this week,
and thero will bq a lot of disappointed
coaches If he does not make the first
team within a few weeks.
Tho backs played an in and out game,
but they could hardly havo been ex
pected to do anything else, Tor all four
were wearing tho Red and Blue for the
first tlmo. Howard Berry was probably
moro closely watched than any other
man in this quartet. Ho did not run
villd with tho ball as some of his enthu
siastic admirers had expected, but the
promise he gave must havo pleased the
coaches.

"At a hard pinch.' Inquires Freddie H.,
"how many gnmes could Alexander work
in n seven-game world's series?"
Mathewson and Coombs both have
pitched three games In tho confines of one
championship series. No man has ever
pitched more. It Isn't likely that any man
could pitch more and be at his best; un

Tho man to do most of the guessing In
this series will be Bill Carrlgan. Bill will
only need three pitchers certainly not

tho right moment from the staff he has
around him will cause Mr. Carrlgan a
number of highly thoughtful moments.

Shore, Foster, Leonard, Collins and

Is a general hunch extant that Boston
will draw the 1815 opener, where the tre
mendous capacity of the Braves park

The record for world series attendance
still stands at a trifle more than 38,000,
established In the Giant-Athletic series of
131L As the Braves' boll park can handle
close to 50.000 souls, this past record will
be beaten by G000 or 7000, at the smallest
estimate. TroUded tho weather doesn't
make too many threatening gestures

7 One Help for Alexander
As the series will open ai und the latter
part of the week, Alexander will get an
