v. m EVENING LEDER-PHILADELXHDl, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1. I916 FAILURE TO PLAY OUT SCHEDULE HAS BEEN COSTLY, TO A FEW BIG LEAGUE TE, POSTPONEMENTS HAVE COST FOUR MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS, - PENNANTS IN LAST 20 YEARS Thkt Is One Reason Why Manager Moran Waited Last Moment Before Calling Off Final Game With Cardinals ..V. Until p POUit mnjpr lensjue pennants have been, lost within the last twentv eari be cause U was fmposslbls for oni of the contending teams to comp'ete Us schedule, whl! in three Instances the runner-up could have beaten out the pen ( iwnt winner If It had jvot been "for postponements which never were plnveJ off Tvat la wily .Mnnnwr Moran, of the 1'hlllles, took full advantage of tho rules yesterday and refused to call off the final game of the s-rles with St. Louis until 4 o'clock. ' j The game was scheduled to stsit at 5 o'clock, and aa a rule a game Is called ott at this tjme If It la mining liar J, but Mnnnr'r Momn Instated on taking full advantage of the rule which Ktttfs thM ' ntw-ii must bo started not later than two, hours before sunset. Moran -ci,tf idej' that His edvertlsed stalling time had nothing t do with the cose and it was up to th rardlnnW to wait until two hours before sunset before calling the same, e L ijlre Hjron nsreeil with him. To lose a chance) to Improve yielr rfrcen'aijii at the expense of a tall-end team was a, iough break for ihe Phillies It was nti sure thine that Moran's mon weuld have won( judging by the vny th' hovn been plavlng for the last week, but the odds always favor a team tip In the race against a' second division club The Phillies, at their worst, gate the Cardinals a hard battle, and It was likely that the champions would have been back In their .winning stride. ft The postponement parttnulnrlv was unfortunate, nn Urookljn managed to get In five Innings before rain Interfered, thereby gaining another half a game on the Phillies This hslf a came cannot If gut back, even If tho Phils eventually win the pennant, as there will be no chance for the champions to play off yesterdaj'a game. Rain Cost Mackmen Pennant in 1907 LOCAL fans never will forget tl? famous 1907 race, when the Detroit Tigers, i aided by the questionable decision of Umpire "Silk" O'Loughlln, nosed thfe .Mackmen out of the pennant, but It la extremely doubtful If many remember Just why the Athletics failed to win the pennant that season. The defeat of the Mack jf men by the narrowest of margins was due to postponed games, for at the close of the season the Athletics had not lest as many games an Detroit. The final standing found Detroit with ninety-two victories and fifty-eight de - teats for a percentage of .618. while the Athletics had el&lity-elght victories and fifty-seven do'eats for a percentage of 607 If the Athletics had not lost five games through postponements It Is almost a certainty that they would have finished ahead of the Tigers. Two of the postponed games were with Boston, which finished seventh; two with Ht. Louis, which finished sixth, and one with Xetro!t. Thus It will be seen that rain deprived Philadelphia of a pennant once before. Lot us hope history does not repeat. Only once In the National League's long htstory has rain played an Important part In the final storTdlng, In 1897 the reign of the Baltimore Orioles, one of tho most famous machines In the history of the game, came to an end because rain caused the postponement of two games with Frank 8elee's Bsston team. Tho final standing was Boston ninety-three won and thirty-nine lost and Baltimore ninety won and forty lost, i It Is no sure thing that Boston would not have captured one or both of the games, "but as tho Orioles alwaj s found Seleo's team easy. It at least would have been the favorite for both games. If the two games had been played and won by Baltimore, the Orioles would hae won the pennant by one point. Baltimore also had tw6 games with the (lowly Louisville team postponed that season. Postponements Also Deprive Yankees of Flag NEWiyORK lost Its greatest chance for an American League pennant In 1904 because three games were postponed two with Washington and one with De troit, which at that time was at the foot of the American League ladder. The final standing was Boston ninety-five won and ftfty-ntne lost for a .817 percentage: New Vork ninety-two won and fifty-nine lost for a .609 percentage, If the Yanks had played the three extra gomes and won the race would havo ended in a tie. Griffith's team had it chance to win In the final series, however, and was outplayed by Collins' aggregation, which richly deserved the honor. It was in the first game of. a double header on the final day of the season when Jack Chesbro uncorked a wild pitch that enabled Boston to win. The victory clinched the pennant for Boston and made It Impossible for the Yanks to win. A double Victory for New York would havo won the pennant and Chesbro was scheduled to pltelJ both games 1 In the famous 1908 race in the American League a postponed game with St. Louis, that could not be plavecl off, deprived Cleveland of a chance to tie Detroit, because If the Tigers had lost It their standing would have boen ninety victories and sixty-four defeats, which was the mark registered by Cleveland. The above gives an idea of what the postponement pf a game with a weak opponent means in a pennant battle like that being waged In the National League ot the -present time. 'Brooklyn Is In the lead and has the advantage of having one extra victory that neither the Phillies nor the Braves can regain, unless both play on another day when Brooklyn has a game postponed. If all three games had boen postponed it would not have mattered, but Moran was in touch with Brooklyn when the rain started here and knew the Dodgers were playing. There fore ha waited until It was apparent that baseball was out of the question before calling off the game, , Mack lias Surprise for Fans WHAT has Connie Mack up his sleeve? The peerless leader of the tall-end Mackmen evidently Is planning a great shift In his team for 1917, and one that witt surprise the fans. Included In the Hat of drafted players Mack has three shortstops and two third basemen, and there Is no telling how many more were included in the list of fourteen players he lost. All of which would lead to the question of -where "Whltey" Witt will be stationed. Witt's work this season has been the talk of the American League circuit and he is being touted as one of the coming sluggers of the game. Manager vMack expects Witt to be one, of the leading hitters of the league next season, ibut evidently Intends to play him at second base or in the outfield. It will be remembered that Eddie Collins came to Mack as a shortstop, but after being ( switched about for two seasons he finally was placed at second and became the keystone 'kins' in two years. We do not know very much about Smith, of Oklahoma City, or Jennings, of Minneapolis, but have beard quite a lot about McQafflgan, the Vermont shortstop. -Last summer when McQafflgan was with Bt, Joseph, of the Western League, we were advised by a veteran player of that organization that he would develop Into i-av wonder In another year, Jennings has had more experience, but Mack Is v ery 'ilnucii pleased at drawing McGafflgan, aa six other clubs also put in drafts for him, Johns, the third baseman, was with Cleveland and, Pittsburgh on spring (training trips and was turned back to Columbus, b.ut Mack looked him over and -thinks he will do. Bratchl, another third baseman, was Johns's substitute ot Columbus, but was switched to the outfield and sent to Muskegon, Mich., for fur ther seasoning. Little Is known of the rest of Mack's recruits excepting Noyes. of Vernon, and Naylor, of McAllister of tho Western Association team, who have titan highly touted all j ear. Trust Connie to pull a surprise, and we believe ha Is going to glvo tho fans a great shock in 1317. ' Speaker New Matting Kins; rpXHIKCr but the most remarkable batting streak he ever has enjoyed will JLN save (tha batting supremacy for T rus Cobb. Ev en If Cobb should go on the rampage It Is not likely that he could gain more than twenty points In the two week remaining for the western teams, which close their season four days Wore the easterners. Back in 1913 Cobb made thirty-one hits out of thirty-nine Um at bat in eleven games, but the "Georgia Peach' will "find it a tougher Job this seawtt, with the race so close. Trls (speaker is the new batting king of tha American League, and the country as well, and It easnot be said that the Cleveland wonder did not earn his title. Speaker got off te a wonderful start with the flying Indiana, but didn't crack when the rest o tke team went to pieces. He has continued to shine In the face of misfortune. a4 while the, fans do not relish the idea of Cobb's record being posted. thy are slaa that a player of the Speaker type should break It. c Tflsmor AUeu, formerly oi New York, but bow of this cJty, has not been very mioBsasfut jsj the issgwlstfc we ef late.

L crest. At this writing there are no less than Seven Sons of Swat who have a chance to pick up where Larry Doyle left off a year ago, when the Giant slugger slipped by Luderus at the finish. After all, It Is not so much nf the fact that seven are still In the scramble as It Is the general mixture of tho surviving lot. Concerning Some Tradition First, there Is Jake Daubert whaling away nt tho ball to recover the honors he held In 1913 and 1914. Even more Important than Jacob's pres ence back at the top Is the threatened rush of two ot the game's most noted entries n. Mr II Wagner, pf Pittsburgh, and a Mr H. Chase, of Cincinnati. Wagner huh counted out of the .300 class two years ago, when he finally began to careen a bit. Chase was counted out of the big league a year ago, when the Feds exploded with the usual accent. To have Wagnor and Chase back In hatting for the top adds what any one might call lustre to the occasion, for If either should arrive it would be one of the year's sensations, Only sensations have come eo thick this sea son that It takes a husky one to get more than two agate lines The Rest of the Scramble These are not the sole entries In the genet al mixture there Is a young Mr, ilornsby, of St. Louis, struggling with his elders as If tradition meant nothing at all. Hoinsby Is a debutante. If he leads the league it will be the first time In history that a first- ear regular ever led a major circuit. Joe Jackson would have done it about five years ago If Ty Cobb hadn't batted 420. But ns Mr Cobb did bat 420, Joseph failed to upset precedent Perhaps Horpsby will To these names the monicker of Zacharlas Wheat should be added. Zach never has had any thought about leading a league since he broke Into baseball. He never has been even fairly close to the N. L. top be fore, although always a good, consistent scholar In the School ot Swat The Difference In the American League, due to the prev alence of Ty Cobb, Trie Speaker and Joe Jackson, It generally requires about .375 or .310 to lead the Big Parade. Outside ot theso three tha others are about on a' Na tional League basis. In the National any able Son of Slug who can bat over .326 Is pretty sure to be Number One. Larry Doyle led the circuit last year with .320. Daubert led the year before around .130, The last National Leaguer to achieve anything approaching class! J heights was Heinle Zimmerman, when he moved only a shade below .370 about four years ago. The Winning Average In tho National League this season a mark between .325 and 330 Is sure to top the field. Seven regulars now have a good shot at these figures, with an outside chance that Daredevil Dave Robertson may come with the rush he used the first two months and make additional trouble. As for picking the winner, when at least five man practically are even after pound ing away for over five months, who can say which of the cluster will make the most of two weeksl Chase vs. 'Wagner As much aa we esteem the ability of Jake Daubert and others, our first sentimental choice In this grapple is Honus Wagner To lead tl,ie league at forty-two would be something so far beyond the average that It should be hung up aa a ilabilu of tha game., For Honus began to dribble away bis once fine percentage two years ago. and no one yer figured he would know the 200 country again. A Wagnerian triumph would be the most popular achievement ot tiie year. If Wagner falls we wouldn't mind seeing Hal CIi-bo arrive. Hal has had his share of-what Is often known aaa spotty career, But he has come back this season to hi best ways, and he has been great enough as a player to dteerve soma mark that will last, CRAXTX4ND KICK. No Chance for Poorly Played Golf Shots, But Utopia for Science WALTEIt J. TBAVIS, Jerome D. Tra vers and John O. Anderson are three among other golfers who have plajed mo&t of the great golf courses of the world. And they are three students of the game who arc pretty well qualified to speak. So when this eminent trio told us of a certain rourse which, In the making they cons'dered the finest stretch of Ancient Oreen that ever spread from tee to tee and trap to trap, we decided a trip to this favored spjt would be quite worth while. It was In this way, under the guidance of George Crump and Cnmeron Buxton, that we came to visit Pine Valley, a course located about twenty-five mljes outride of the city over the Jersey line. The World's Greatest Course The approach to this course was an In dication of what must follow. The last few miles were through an old-fashioned country lane, tree bordered and Heading avay from the crowded places And It was well away from the crowded places, In the rugged country beond, that we came upon the course which had de veloped such admiration from Travers and Travis, at one time golf wanderers over America, England, Scotland and France. Having arrived, we began to ha.ve a vague hint as to what was meant by the Greatest Golf Course In the World. There was not only the. seclusion of loca tion and tho prospects of wonderful turf and wonderful greens, but there was also the combination of nature at Its best for golf and the trapping of H. 8 Colt, one tf tho great golf architects of the game. Be tween nature and Mr. Colt, with some as sistance and a lot of supervision from George Crump on the side, Pine Valley comes as close to being a flawless test of the ancient Scottish game aa the Imagina tion could devise. Three Great Short Holes One of the most attractive features Of the new course which now Is being built almost Inch by Inch Is the value of the three short holes completed. The first of thee Is the third hole, This hole with the wind Is an Iron. Against the wind It calls for a driving Iron or a spoon. And the green Is so sur rounded and Indented with traps that only a perfectly placed shot will get the re quired result The second short hole, the fifth, Is one of the greatest one-shot holes ever devised. At first glance the propect Is about aa appealing as a look across some Inferno of trouble Tljd tee Is placed high In a grove of trees Below there Is water ami beyond the water a range ot tossed-up sand and stubble. Nearing the green the ground rises to another higher level, an! the green Itself Is guarded by a succession ot deer traps that must be carried to In sure par. The length of this hole Is 231 yards, a full wooden shot, nut the carry Is deceptive. From the tee It Is only ISO yards, but to the golfer playing the coured for the first time It looks to be a good 220, It seems as possible for any but the longest hitters, and yet a good average tee shot may carry you across As a mental haxard It presents a terrifying aspect beyond de scription. " To show the drift Into the opening country It was Just after leaving this green that we came upon a partridge hatching out her early autumn covey and although the party stopped within a few feet the brown streaked bob white had no Idea of deserting her future offspring, The next short hole was the tenth, apparently nothing but a Simple mashle pitch, But, here, too, only a fine shot wlll"brlng success. For the green Is not only upon a plateau, but It Is much smaller than the others and Is fairly notched and surrounded with deep traps. A mashle shot will do the trick, but only a mashle shot that Is hit In exactly the proper Wray Fine Long Holes The1 longer holes keep even pace vlth the short ones. These are so arranged that flrlst of all the tee shot must be prop, erly placed. A wild smash somewhere down me course leaves more io ao upon the sec ond titan most golfers are witling to face. At the long seventh, for example, there la ?io way Inthe world to get homa in three after missing a shot A poor drive or a poor second or a poor third means four or more to the green.

Rain Calls Off Golf Tourney First Time in Years By SANDY McNIBLICK CLASHING of cymbals and others sounds will greet the ofjlclal curtain raising next Tuesday on the opening of the women's fall golf tournament schedule. Tha classlo Berthelljn tournament at Hunting don Valley, the biggest feminine event on the local schedule, Is the start-oft tourney, nnd events continue after that till late In October. Special Interest I attached to the Iler thellvn matches this year for the reason that Mrs Clarence 11 Vandcrbeck Is en tered nnd, though she has almost definitely decided not to defend her title this year a women's national champion. It may be that she will change her mind, provided she Is able to go through the week's play without a flurry. Her most notable opponent In t)io series will be Mist Alexa W. Stirling, the sensa tional oung lady of seventeen summers who halls from Atlanta, that kindergarten of young golf wizards, which showed nobby Jones and Perry Adair to the world In the national last week at Merlon. Miss Stirling Is the southern champion, and her chances In the national this year are given a great boost all over the country. In Semifinal Last ear she carried Mrs. Vanderbeck to the twenty-second ,hole before she would agree to being ousted In the semifinals of the national, and her golf this season Is even better than last ear. The tourney will be much In the way of a trout for the feminine players hereabouts who have thoughts of entering the national, s There are about a dozen w6men In the city entirely capable of qualifying In the national, and If their golf encourages them next week It Is likely that most ot tho Phil adelphia cllglbles will be In Boston at the starting tee when this year's title play 1 put on. There will be three slxteens In the Ber thelljn cup matches, and already the entry list Is well over fifty. All ot these play golf well enough to qualify, and) there ought to bo a great struggle to enter the first flight. The rain puts Huntingdon Valley In great Bhape for the play. Among the out-of-town players who have a good chance Is Miss Louisa Wells, of B&sto 1. She played on the Boston team In the Qrtscom cup matches The play starts Tuesday. After the qual ifying round there will be driving and ap proaching contests On Friday there will be mixed foursomes In the afternoon, and they alwajs bring out a very fast field, Rain Comes Merrily For the first time In years hereabouts golf plav has been called oft on account of rain. Francis B Warner, secretary of the Golf Association of Philadelphia, and chair man of the committee In charge of the an nual Invitation tourney at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, squeezed into a corner of the straw-covered stand at the starting teo yes terday to keep out of the driving rain, held up 'his hand nnd called off the play The course was flooded. It was the only reasonable thing to do; A bevy of watei logged golfers, the water oozing from their shoes, their sopplbg har hanging over their eyes, gave vent to a moist and solemn cheer and then br,oke for the locker rooms Back In 1911, or thereabouts, the Penn sylvania championship was called off at Whltemarsh when the course was flooded so badly that it is said the plajers had to carry their clothes over their heads and swim for their lives.

Sept. 16 Princeton and Harvard qualified for the final round of the Intercollegiate team golf championship by eliminating Yale and Cornell, respectively, on the course ot the O&kmont Country Club yesterday, f The match between Princeton and Yale was close, the former scoring five points to the latter's four The score In the other matCjh. was Harvard, 8 ; Cornell, 1, This was the second time in ten years that the Old Ell team had been defeated and both times the Orange and Black turned the trick. A dramatlo finish marked the match that resulted In Yale's defeat. At the end of the morning round Princeton was leading by one point, winning two out of the three four-ball matches. The Tigers had already hung up two points In the singles contests, Davidson Ilerron and D. Clarke Corkran having won their matches, and another point was' needed for complete victory. Coming to the home hole, Howard Jfax well, of Princeton, was one up on Frank Blossom, of Yale, the present Intercolle giate tltleholder. Maxwell outdrove Bios som from the tee playing the eighteenth hole, , Blotspm's second fell fifteen feet short of the green Maxwell sliced his sec ond Into the trap to the left of the green. The champion laid his third virtually dead. In playing out of the trap, the Princeton representative overran the pin by fifteen feet He putted, however, and slowly the ball rolled In the direction of the hole. It seemed to stop an Instant on the edge of the cup and then sank, halving the hole and putting Yale out ot the running for the team championship. Harvard did not encounter serious oppo sition In winning from Cornell, although vir tually all ot the matches were close.
