PENNSYLVANIA FACES CRISIS IN FOOTBALL AFFAIRS-COMMENT BY "TINY" MAXWELl
RED AND BLUE
FOOTBALL TEAM
.. FACES CRISIS
Much Depends on Coming
c Games With Navy and
; Pittsburgh
EARNER'S SQUAD STRONG
.: By EDWARD ft. BUSHNELL
Eycry football 'team lias to meet a
crisis some time during Its season. Tho
tnlverslyof Pennsylvania Is face to fnco
with ono right now. On what the team
does against tho Navy nnd Pittsburgh
Vfjfl derend to a great extent Its success
In tho three championship contests with
Dartmouth, Mlch'lgnn and .Cornell In No
vember. "The Quaker coaches realize th) situation
end uio concentrating every offott on
whipping the team together for these two
games. They feel that they must win
from the Navy on Saturday or their
eeHson Will be ruined. They arc not cer
tain that they can beat Pittsburgh. They
appreciate tho fact that tho Pittsburgh
learn has been pointed for this particular
game, that Coach Glenn Warner Is more
anxious to win It than any other on his
schedule. It la tho climax of tho Pitts
burgh season, nnd just tho beginning of
Pennsylvania's Reason. Some Pennsyl
lanja -men who understood tho situation
at Pittsburgh before tho gamo wn
scheduled felt that n serious mistake was
Velng made to schedule such a cttong and
nmbltlous team so early In tho season.
Of course, no one" can blame Pittsburgh
for wn.iitlng to win this gamo and point
ing Its team solely for It. Hut It will go
pretty hard on the Quakers to miet n
team nt this tlmo which Is several weeks
ahead of them In Its' development. It wni
berauso Cornell could not compete with
Pittsburgh under these conditions that
PltUbutgh lost Its place on tho schedule
ot Ithaca.
Apparently the Navy Is weak this year.
Th Middles have been beaten In both
games to date. They lost to George
town, 9-0, and last Saturday to Pittsburgh,
47-p, It Is, therefore, a fair nssumptlon
that tho Navy Is weaker than last year,
when Pennsylvania won, nnd since Penn
sylvania Is stronger than In 1911, th
Quakers ought to win by a comfortablo
margin. That, however, Is not Faying
they will do It, for football this year Is
mlfhty uncertain.
Pennsylvania's coaches feel that their
(earn was at a decided disadvantage In
the jPtate game, because of lack of physi
cal condition. They willingly give State
credit for having the better team last
Saturday. State's superior condition,
particularly In the second half, taught
them how far behind they really are In
physical condition. As a result they are
now trying to hurry the development of
Jhelr team so that It will bo "coming"
Shen Pittsburgh Is met. They will try
i avoid the danger of reaching top form
too, Quickly, because their most Important
tames aro thoso in November.
There is a lot of uncertainty about the
line-up of the backfleld for the Navy
game. It Is a pretty safe prediction that
IJpwnrd Berry will not play quarterback
unless tho coaches need him. His knee
li.rbundlng Into condition, but a second
Injury might put him down and out for
the season. Klther Bell or Grant will
have the call over him. It will probably
be Bell, for this youngster, while lneaS-
perlenced,. Is about the nerviest man onf
tne wnoie team, wuigiey nas oeen nurs
irjsc minor bruises for some time and was
hurt again on Tuesday, but he will prob
ably bo In shape to start at fullback.
nfTho coaches frankly admit that they
do not know who their best halfbacks
are, but they expect to know definitely
after the Navy game. The trouble Is that
some of the players shine on offense and
ethers on defense. The difficulty Is to find
a' pair who arc equally strong on' offense
and defense. Williams Is unquestionably
the most brilliant of the halfbacks In
advancing tho bill, but he Is not so good
on" ho secondary defense. Tlghe, on tho
other hand, Is the best defensive back,
but not a good ground gainer. Ross and
Welsh seem to be the best all-around
h,a,l.fbacks, but both have suffered so much
from Injuries that the coaches haven't
been able to get them In shape. ,

GREAT FOOTBALL
GAME EXPECTED
FOR TOMORROW
Haverford School and
Northeast Meet in Titanic
Struggle on the Gridiron
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
The first ' big" scholastic game of the
season will be played nt Haverford to
morrow, when Haverford School clashes
with Northenst High. Both teams have
been successful In their early games,
Haverford defeating West Philadelphia
High and Episcopal nnd Northeast win
ning from Vlllnnon and Williamson. As
this will be the first meeting between tho
to 8schools both teams arc anxious to
start out with a victory.
Notwithstanding the loss of two of
their star men, Coach Johnson's pupils
have done good w ork, and the outlook for
n successful season Is unusually bright.
In tho Vlllanova and Williamson games
Northeast played excellent footbnll, and
the men are confident of keeping up the
good work against the Main Liners. Dud
Thomas, tho new captain of the team, is
proving himself to be an excellent leader,
and his presence alono Is enough to make
the men tight harder than ever before.
Haverford has shown considerable Im
provement under the coaching of Palmer,
Towne nnd Zlegler, and will put up a
hard game. It will be tho first real test
for the teams and the success of the sea
son hinges on the result.
Cheltenham High School now Is In the
throes of a hard luck streak, and with
the game against Wilmington High sched
uled for tomorrow the coaches fear for
tho result. Of the six veterans left over
from last year's team three are on the
hospital list nnd will not be able to play
for some tlmo to come. George Esllnger,
the star end, Is laid up with a badly
wrenched knee nnd probably will not bo
able to play again this season. Balgnel
nnd B. Waldls also have Injured knees,
but they probably will be back In the
game next week.
Coaches Sohl and Brown are having
considerable difficulty with tho line po
sitions. Last year's players are not up
to the standard, and the new men, while
they have shown ability, are lacking In
experience. D. Fell at tackle and Sear
ing at centre aro putting up the best
gamo on tho rush line. Henderson, the
formerV8t Joseph's player. Is showing
up welt at fullback and should prove to
be tho star of the team.
William Plcklo has been selected a
manager of the football team to succeed
Raymond Malley. who resigned. Ho has
arranged the following schedule: October
22, Germantown High School, at home;
October 29, Ridley Park High, at home;
November 5, St. Luke's, at home: No
vember 19, Lansdowne High, at Lans
downe; November 25, Norrlstown High,
at Norrlstown.
Urged on by Coach Howell and Harry
Fritz, the Central High football team Is
working hard for the game with Beth
lehem Prep, at Houston Field, Saturday.
This 1b tho first hard battle on the Crim
son and Gold schedule and It should be
well worth Beelng. As Pcnn plays at
Annapolis, there will be no other game
In Philadelphia on that day and a record
crowd is expected.
"By" Wharton has been playing a star
game for Chestnut Hill Academy this
year and looks like a worthy successor
to Galllard, last, year's star. Wharton
Is a fast man in the open field, a good
tackier and shows cxrellent judgment In
running the team from quarterback. Tho
Hitlers will line up against Southern High
tomorrow,
Dr. Jack Keough will take his West
Philadelphia High football aspirants to
Norrlstown Saturday to glvo. battle to
the High School eleven representing that
town. Ndrrlstown almost defeated Pcnn
Charter a week ago and Is likely to give
tho "Speed Boys" a stiff battle. Captain
Dave and Brother Bill Feaster will bo
In the lineup for West Phlllle.
With Soef fling. LelkllnIsenbach. Rem
mey and Taner In the backfleld, Frank
ford High has a good scoring machine
for the remaining games, Soeffllng and
Lelklln are good line buckers, while tho
other three are able to skirt tho ends In
Ann style. Fronkford defeated Haverford
High by the score of il to 0 last week,
and will try to run up another big score
tomorrow against Haddon Heights High.
The game will be played on the Dlsston
A. C. grounds In Tacony.
La Salle College will Journey to Mount
Airy on Friday to play P. I. D. Coach
Walter Dunn's team Is slowly rounding
Into shape and will give the Institute
boys a hard battle. La Salle has been,
weakened by the loss of three of the star
players, but Dunn la developing others to
take their places.

opposed to Stanley Hinckle, clever Gray's
Ferry boxer.
Although Welsh has been boxing less
than two years, he has developed Into a
promising fighter. Before the 1915-16 sea
son goes down into pugilistic epoch Joe
may have earned for himself tho distinc
tion of being Philadelphia's premier light
weight. Unlike many fighters who are success
ful In tho ring, Welsh draws a weekly
salary for holding down a regular posi
tion with a local concern. He does his
training after dusk, when his dally work
Is done. Whether Joe fights or not. he
does not take any days off, attending his
duties the day of a fight and the day
after.
Tho Broadway's program follows:
Tlrst bout Frankie Clark, Bouthwark. vs.
Barnfy Oakey, Smoky Hollow.

Al Palzer, the Iowa Farmer, will try to

PHILLIES BAT FAR IN BOSTON,
RED SOX DITTOED IN PHILADELPHIA
Rice Tells How Local National League Champions Lost
Baseball Crown in World's Series to Bill
Carrigan's Red Sox
By GRANTLAND RICE
They saved Alexander, the nonpareil,
for a. tomorrow that will never be.
While Boston bats were booming the
chorus of another triumph and closing
out the series against the shoots of
Mayer and Rlxey, "Big Alex1' stood along
the left-field line, wasting his benders
on tho Philadelphia air, two hundred
yards from the range of Rod Sox war
clubs that were rolling out the requiem
of Philadelphia hopes.
The Red Sox bagged their fourth
straight victory and wound up the series
as successors to the Braves. So the
championship stll lstays In Boston, a city
that has never yet lost a world's series
Jamboree out of four starts, against
Pirates, Giants, Mackmen and Phillies.
By tho margin of 5 to -I the new champs
overwhelmed Mayer and Rlxey, using
thre home runs almost exclusively for
this worthy purpose. Am we undertooil
It, this short field was to be a Phllly
asset only second to the main pinion of
Grover Alexander. Over the low barriers
of these brief palisades Cravath and
Luderus were to fire a series of deadly
volleys, driving ono Red Sox slabman
after another from his workshop on the
mound.
As expounded In the early dope, nothing
could havo sounded fairer. The only
J, JlJhe bualness Is that the dope
picked the wrong club. Tho Phillies did
all their long-distance batting In Boston,
where the only chance for a home run
was n smash Into the Atlantic Ocean,
Beyond range of the rowboat station.
Two were pounded out of the lot by
Harry Hooper, and the other four-ply
shot came from the old snickersnee of
uufTy Lewis, whose all-around work put
him far In front as the main bloke In tho
hero output. It was Duffy Lewis, tho
Callfornlan catapult, who did more than
any other two men in halting the Phillies
at every start. Both upon attack and
defense Duffy had tho Phillies' gont
banqueting from his clammy hand. Ho
cut off runs and hits In profusion by his
outfield play, and at bat he hit them all
with equal gusto and eclat, from Alex
ander down.
In the eighth Inning of the Phillies'
final stand, after Mayer had been ex
pelled by a volley of hits, Eppa Rlxey,
the Virginian Spiral with Southern ex
posure, seemed to have the Red Sox stop
ped. For four rounds ho had the Champs
reeling in a daze, lucky to gather one lone
blow. The big left hander. the tallest
and rangiest of nil the tall and rangy
guys you hear about, had pretty fair
control, good speed and also what we
once heard a scribe of daring orlglnnllty
call a "hop to his fast one." The Phllls
were then leading 4 to 2, through the bat
ting prowess of Luderus, nnd that sixth
game In Boston on Alexander's tomorrow
looked to carry b!1 the essential requisites
of a cinch.
And then In the eighth Gainer singled
for the Becond Rlxey tap. And before
long, gaunt Eppa knew where the gas
pipe was hidden the blow-off came. He
whizzed up a fast ono to Lowls and some
thing large nnd round cracked It on the
cupula. A dozen 42 centimetres firing
at once couldn't havo sounded any louder
to the astonished Eppa, who turned more
In sorrow than In anger to observe a
gray-whlto streak looping Its way to tho
centre-Held seats.
That blow tied up the count. And In
tho ninth Hooper, who had contributed
a homer in the third with a long, low
drive that bounded over the barrier,
closed out the quarrel with another rap
of tho same type, pounding one on the
bound Into tho right centre seats. And
all this time, with the battle hanging In
the balance, with steadiness and sureness
needed In the Phllly box above all other
details, there was Grover Alexander still
tossing a ball back and forth along the
left field line, still warming up for to
morrow's big test, But what doth It
profit a bloke to gain the best warm-up
that ever was If his pals lose the last
game to be playedT It might have been
Just as well to give Mayer and Rlxey
their chance. But with the score knotted
at the start of tho ninth, where one lone
tally was to win the game, no second
sight or second guess was required to
pick Alexander for tho Job, For Philadel
phia It was either Alexander then or
nothing. The best he can do with that
last warm-up now Is to save It for next
April or use It this winter on the coast.
It ought to make a big hit at the San
Francisco Exposition, for It la the most
expensive warm-up that baseball has
ever known. It cost the two clubs that
JS2.Q00 waiting over In a Boston safe,
George Foster, the star pf the second
gume. yielded nine hits for a total of IS
bases. But Hooper and Lewis carried
him safely over the ranging tide on a
raft made out of rounded ash. Foster
worked the only poor Boston game of
the series, but It requires no enduring
pitching skill to win a ball game where
your pals garner 10 hits for 21 bases and
hit enough home runs to save the day
The Red Sox won through class that
counted both ways. They had the surer
defense and the harder attack They
had the better pitching and the better
everything elte, Including the necessary
break. The Red Box won by backing up
sound pitching with an Impregnable de
I1""'--) IIAHAHAn. J Vot P.ro.ceJniAjMHA
- - y V IWHH BDDIB I I AIL RISHT V (1)1 re
fense and by collecting 42 hits to the
Phillies' 26. And yet In spite of thoso 1
thick mnrglns of superiority the Phillies
came within one run of each losing bat
tle and completed tho five games with 10
runs scored against 11. The only wonder
Is that they were able to make battling
so close, so far as runs were concerned,
for In nil other ways they were up against
a club that had them faded to the frazzle
that you read about. Tho one feature
which prevented the Red Sox winning
the last four games In a romp by easy
scores wns tho steadiness and the game
ncss of tho Phllly defense and the lack
of concerted power In the Red Sox attack.
Tho power was there, but It wasn't con
sistently applied until tho final game,
when three runs were needed In two In
nings to save the afternoon. Then the
old rataplan of swats began to echo In
tho rafters and among the eaves as
Gainer, Lewis and Hooper opened up a
fresh bombardment. There were two
strikes called on Hooper and no balls In
tho ninth when Rlxey pushed one over,
and Instead of waiting the right fielder
let drive for one of tho hardest raps of
the week, a punch that would have rolled
for a homer In almost any park.
There Is no part of an argument but
that the better ball club won. And yet
of nil the series we have ever seen, Fate
In this one Just closed out came nearer to
being master of the final result. The
querer part of It all Is that tho better ball
club, with the bulk of the breaks, barely
slipped through with Its skin still on In
all four victories. That part of It is well
beyond the confines of tho dope. Here
Is an example: Those short Phllly fences
might have been built for Cravath. It was
over their tops that he blazed the major
part of his trail to home-run fame. Yet
in Philadelphia Cravath, In three games,
struck only one solid blow, a low line
drive, while In Boston, where the fences
He back against a dim horizon, he hit the
ball with the power of a Baker or a Craw
ford. Cravath got three blows that In
Philadelphia would have been home runs.
In Boston they were merely outs. And
In Philadelphia, where a long hit would
havo done the Job, he couldn't hit one
over tho plate, much less over the fence.
Take the final game. In the first Inning,
after Stock had been hit and after Ban
croft and Paskert had singled, "Gavvy"
was up, with none out and the bases
full. A boding hush fell upon the multi
tude. Tho big moment had arrived.
Eager eyes were focused on the blue sky
beyond the adjoining walls. Which fence
would he hit one over? The answer was
a soft, spongy tap to Foster, and resulted
In a double play, and only the double of
Luderus gave the Phillies their Jump.
And after this Cravath came up twice,
only to paddle the ozono with a series
of Gus Hills that left the ball Intact.
Even when a triple by Gardner in the
second and a homer by Hooper In the
third had tied the count the Phils still
hnd their chance when Luderus belted a.
winning fly over tho right-field wall, pre
ceding singles by Nlehoft and Burns and
n wide peg by Gardner In the fourth for
two additional tallies. But even these
were not enough-not with Alexander still
left warming up. Not with Lewis nnd
Hooper adjusting their sights to the low
fences beyond Cravath's home range, A
two-run lead wasn't enough for the
Phillies at any stage where the Red Sox
wero going out and getting exactly
enough runs to win. They were not
wasting anything not a Red Sox tally
went to wnste In the last four games.
They had at all times after that first
game Just enough to win but they always
had enough. In their first three contests
they won by superior dofensc. In their
last stand they won by a slugging attack
that rolled up 21 bases. When their de
fenso failed they came bounding through
with the wallop, scoring more runs when
needed In the last two Innings than they
had scored before in any one full game.
The one factor above all others which
crushed the battling Phils was the Red
Pox outfield. They maintained to the
finish the form they were expected to
show. Of the 11 Red Sox runs. Hooper
Lewis anrt flnenkpr HrnrH baua,. an.i
drove two more In. Lewis led the batting, '
wun a marx or ,w, seven points above
the slugging Luderus. Hooper finished
with ,369 and Bpeaker was Just below
.00 Added to this, the value or their
outfield defense was even beyond the
power of their attack. They cut off more
hits and more runs than they made.
Duffy Lewis alone would have beaten any
ordinary club. No outfielder In world
series history has ever before given such
an all-around exhibition of rare worth
or has been such a vital factor In a ball
club's success,
Aa for the Phillies, they made a good,
game stand against a club that ordinarily
might have beaten them much worse.
The dope for them was- not so keenly
cast. Luderus and Bancroft traveled
true to form and Alexander won his game.
But always In their case will come the
memory of Alexander still warming up
when ono run stood between his mates
and extinction that and Gabby Cravath
winding up with an average of 12S, after
having dona his main slugging In a, ball
park surrounded by Speaker, Lewis and
Hooper In place ot a short fence to be
carried by Almost an good average, fly.

BOSTON, Oct 14 -Manager "niir Car
rlgan, of the Boston Red Box, received
a check for J!6,939 7J from Secretary
Bruce, of tho National Commission, this;
afternoon, ns tho Red Sox's share of th ,
world's series. He then gave 13931.80 to '
each player of tho Red Sox team
Twenty-two players. Including Managu ,
Carrlgan, shared in the distribution.
After Carrlgan had divided the morwar
he announced that there was a remain .
aer 01 u cents.
"I guess we will frame that '13' cenu
nnd keep It hanging up aa a lucky sign
for the ltli! world's pennant," said Car
rlgan. Most of tho players after receiving their
cheks planned to get away to their homes) '
at once. This wish on their part led
to urgent requests that Mayor Cut ley,
Congressman Gal I Ivan and others who,
proposed big receptions and banquets fof
the "chnmps" call them nil off, In order
to permit tho players to leave as soon as
possible for their homes.
The players themselves announced that
they did not look for any publlo ccle
bratlon of the team's victory.
As has been the custom for the last
sevoral years In which cither the Red
Box or tho Braves participated In world's
series affairs, tokens of appreciation for
doing "hero" stunts were extended.
It was at first thought that Michael .
McNally, who played with the Red Box:
during the enrly season, would share lit
the large chock, but McNally was not
a member of the Box during tho whole
year. He was active with the Providence ,-
club of the International Lcaguo during:
part of the season. He returned to fts '
Boston team after tho International Baid
son had closed. K,
