Yesterday' defeat of the Dodgers In the National League, coupled with
the Braves double victory and tho even break of tho Phillies, leaves but ono and

American League Detroit and Chicago both won and cut down the lrad of the Ited
Be, who were Idle, and ono and one half games separate theeo three teams.
Only once In the history of tho tramo hae the two major league race
been so close so late In the season. Several times ono of tho races has been,
so close that the winner was noCdetermlned until tho last few days of tho season,
but only in 1808 were the leading teams of both leagues so closely bunched at
this time. Jn 1908 the American League race was not decided until the last
sTfty, while in tho National It was necessary to play off a tie gamo to decide the
winner.
The appended standings will ehow the similarity between tho races of 1908
and 191C. Tho final standing of the two leaguos In that soason and the present
standing show that there Is n possibility that the samo conditions may arise.

The Famous National League Race of 1908
T WILL bo seen that conditions ore almost identlcnl, excepting that tho
East is monopolizing the leading positions In the National League today
Whereas the West had tho American Leaguo race all to Itself In 1908. Morklo'o fail
ure to touch second when Brldwell singled, scoring McCormlck with tho winning
run of tho third game of the last series between the Giants and Cubs, cost New
Tork the pennant In 1908, as the Cubs and Giants wera deadlocked at tho end
of tho regulation season. Tho board of directors of the league ordered tho
disputed game, which never had been finished the teams being tied when tho
crowd rushed upon tho field played over and the Cubs won from the peerless
Mathowson.
After the memorable series In which Merkle fal'ed to touch second, the
Giants started the final East vs. West series with a slight lead to overcome, but
favored by the schedule, as there was supposed to be little opposition in tho
East, New York regained its lead by a point on September 30 by beating the
Phillies, while the Cuba lost to Cincinnati. While this was happening Pitts
burgh was sweeping a series with tho Cardinals. On Octobor 1 and 3 the Phillies
again beat New York, making It three victories out of flvo games, Harry Covelesklo
being responsible for every defeat.
Pittsburgh and Chicago were scheduled for a single game on October 2,
while New York had three games in two days with Boston. If Pittsburgh won
from) Chicago it was assured the pennant, whereas a Chicago victory would mako
It necessary for New York to win three from Boston to gain a tlo with Chance's
team. Tho Cubs defeated the Pirates, 6 fo 2, eliminating Clarke's team, whllo
New York won all three from Boston, making the play-off of the tie game
the deciding game of the season. This contest, played on Octobor 7, two days
after the regulation season closed, decided the pennant In favor of the Cubs.
Joss and Walsh in Greatest Duel in History
THE same condition prevailed in the American League. In the last lap of
the race Cleveland Increased its lead on October 2 by winning from Chicago
In Uie greatest pitching duel ever staged on any ball flo'd. Addle Joss shut out
the Sox without a hit, and did not permit a batsman to reach first baso in nlno
Innings (one of the two perfect games on record), while Ed Walsh allowed Cleve
land ono hit and struck out fifteen men, Cleveland going out in order In seven of
the nine Innings. ,
The, Sox came back and won the final game of tho series, but Detroit by
Winning two from St. Louis on the same day crawled "up on even terms with
Cleveland. The following day, October 4, Chicago defeated Detroit, whi'o St
Louis' 'held Cleveland to an eleven-Inning tlo. This made It necessary for Cleve
land to win three straight from St. Louis to win the pennant, while Chicago had
to win two out of three from Detroit to top Cleveland by a point.
On October 6 St. Louis won tho first game of a double-bonder from Cleve
land, eliminating Larry's team, whl'e Chicago won from Detroit, putting tho
Issue up to the final game of the season. If Chicago won it captured tho pen
pant and the same was true of the Tigers. Detroit won nnd flnUhcil four points
ahead of Cleveland, Chicago's defeat sending it to third place.
Same Conditions May Prevail This Season
TODAY tho situation Is similar In jboth leagues. It is possible that tho final
series, or even the final day's schedule In each league, will decide both pen
nants. This Is particularly true In tho National League,, where tho threo leading
teams finish the eeason against each other. In the American League Detroit
end Chicago do not meet again, while Boston closes Its season in the East
gainst teams that are out of the race.
The Phillies roust brace suddenly If they hopo to take part In another gruel
ing finish, such as developed in 1908, The National Leaguo champions have
played seven poor games of ball in succession and are fortunato to bo so close to
Brooklyn. Thanks to getting the breaks against the Cardinals, Moran's cham
pions have taken two of the three games p'ayed, whllo Tlttsburgh was downing
ftrooklwt two out of three. In the meantime Boston suddenly has come to life
and'Wttr having lost sevon consecutive games won the final contest with Brook
lyn Snd three stttilght from the Cubs,
Whether Boston's comeback is. due to weakness on the part of the Cub
pltohera or a sadden batting streak remains to be proved. The Bravei made
more lts and runs In yesterday's double-header with Tinker'H team than they
made in six consecutive games against the pitching of the' Phillies nnd Dodgers.
It Boston has gotten out of its batting slump at last It Is certain to be dangerous.
Great Rally Saved Second Game for PhlU
AGKEAT batting rally in which Gavvy Cravath supplied tho cltan-up wallop
, a; drive over the right-field fence with two men on bases saved the Phils
frm certain defeat in both gomes of yesterday's double-header, and it cannot
kj said that the champions did not deserve to lose. They played lifeless ball
tn both contests and were guilty of mlsplays that heretofore were unknown to
'the. ,
If. one did not have the above standing to guide him lie probably would have

games. Now, minus Jack Barry, the club's

Wilmington Idea of Cat

Large Purse
By SANDY McNIBLICK
BDLD, black numbers, such as those sewn
on the sweatered backs of plunging,
mud-covered warriors of the gridiron, or to
the Jerseys ot straining athletes of the
cinder paths my adorn the backs ot golf
ers In the future In tournaments likely to
draw large galleries.
The matter of placing numbers on the
backs of golfers, so they may be tdenjlflerl
s In other sports, has been much dlcus-.cd
since the national by prominent olfmcn of
the olty. The Idea Is to cataloguo tho num
bers, with the player's namo, so that the
fan following the match may simply refer to
his program nnd discover from the player s
number Just who tie Is and what la hla claim
to fame.
Tried Out
The Idea got a fine, big boost yesterday
at Wilmington, when It was first tried out
hereabouts. To the bag ot each player was
hung a large placard with his number. On
the program wan found hla name and club
opposite his number, so Jhot there were no
loud "who-lshe" questions, and good play
ers never walked past a fan who wanted to
see him play, but who otherwise would not
have known who tho golfer was.
Tho plan would hae been especially
commendable In the national qualifying
round and tn the match play of the first
three days, before the field had narrowed
down definitely. It would hovo shed a lot
6f light on the problems of the fan.
hundreds of them, who had favorites they
wanted to watch and then let them pass
by Ignorant of their identity.
The play-off today of tho ties ot Wil
mington brought together some beautiful
pairings.
Jim Barnes, walloping wisard of White
marsh, had a fine chanco to get back at
Jack Hutchinson, Pittsburgh, for nil tho
last-minute cunning of the latter In
tourneys of the season where the two have
played.
Thero at Sunset
In the open championship of the United
States, Hutchinson nosed out Jim Barnes
for first professional profits with a record
score for the course. (
In other tourneys he has slid In Just In
time, and yesterday, when Barnes slipped
up three strokes In the afternoon on his
morning card of 72, Hutchinson breeted up
to the scoreboard at the last minutes with
a 74 for his second round. They played
today to bjak the tie at 147 strokes for
first money m the $375 purse.
Wilfred Held played over his own
course to break another tie for third and
fourth money with Emmett French, a
Philadelphia lad, who Is pro at York.
Held Is a famous British veteran, so it Is
"homebred" against "foreign born."
Five players of the southeast section
Qualify for the match ploy rounlu for llu
championship of the Professional Golfer-'
Association of the United States to play
against twenty-seven other pros who will
qualify In the various sections all, over the
country.
Charles Hoffner, young star from Phil
mont, broke tho tlo today with James
Thomson, Country Club, for the fifth place.
Thero Is a matter of fifty cold and round
dollars resting on the victory. Each of the
defeated players In the first round of the
match play, which will be next month, at
Mount Vernon, N. Y., will get 160, o that
any player to qualify, whether he defaults
his first match, walks' around the course
for a licking or throws his clubs In the lake,
is sure ot at least that much money.
Lovely Percentage
There will be more than S2S00 in stakes
for the players In the match play. This Is
the largest purse ever whacked up by pros
In this country, according to Jim Thomson,
a veteran. The match play Is also sig
nificant, for It shows how the pros would
manage their own play for the stakes if
they could do It.
They did not choose medal play. Gome
time ago the western open championship
was at match play, but this style has been
abandoned for medal play.
Jim Barnes and Charlio Hoffner took a
very presentable gallery around with them
all day ywterday at Wilmington, and
showed someTemarkable etuff on the ball.
"Pretty sloppy golf," groaned Hoffner as
he handed In a "miserable" card of 75.
"It makes me sick," sighed Jim Barnes
after his morning round of 72. "I should
have a 68 or better without any trouble."
Hoffner "brought down the house" and
saved himself considerable flurry when he
sank a bird two on the eleventh In the
afternoon by running down a nice long putt.
Exceptionally "Poor"
He was two over fours to that point, and
every golfer knows that la "punk golf." His
two made Hoffner all even with fours again,
and ho was able to smile once more.
Two of Barnes's strokes In the nil-day
session were penalty strokes he had to drop
out of the creeks, when he laid on his
drives too vigorously In an effort to make
the green.
Jack Hutchinson was almost in tears
over his awful score of the afternoon.
