T which they proved eonclunlvcly that
Sir have the "punch" In ft pinch : that Mo
rtnf team always has been able to arlso
to an emergency : that they get n greiter
timber of runs from their hits than does
Brooklyn: that they have proved beyond
foubt that they nre gamer than tho Dodgeds,
and that the preaenco of ft remarkable nnd
epiphtent pitcher like Alexander has a
great moral effect.
Betting Fnvora Phils
Scribes of Philadelphia naturally rfro
oreludlced nnd feel certain that the rhlllles
, iii win. as nro the Brooklyn and .New
Tork critics, in w lorn last nigni ono
epuld hear nothing but Phllly and Brook
lyn where sporting men gathered, the fans
entirely forgetting tho wonderful winning
rtreak of the Cllants. While the New York
and Drooklyn papers express confidence that
the podgcra will win the series nnd pen
nant, there nppears to be moro Thllly
money In sight Ip. resorts whero bets can
fce placed.
One or two Now York scribes arc fair
enough to admit that the Dodgers nppear
to have gone stale, and also contend that
the Phillies surely will bo at their best,
while Itoblnson's team may go to pieces If
the champions get tho, Jump. It Is hlntod
that Brooklyn Is In such a condition that It
will hao to play straight baseball, depend
ing upon slugging to win. while tho Phillies
are certain to switch the attack. Just as they
did In the recent series In Phladelphla and
In the all-Important deciding battle w'.th the
Braves in 1916.
Only In St. Louis and Pittsburgh are tho
rmdirnrs favorites 'over the Phillies, and
V no doubt this is due to the miserable work
et Moran s tenm in Dotn cities on tne laai
western trip.
Looked Bad Against Cards
No pennant contending team ever looked
worse than tho Phillies did against the Car
dinals and Pirates on tho last swing
through tho West, and as "Brooklyn com
pletely outplayed both teams a fow days
after Moran's men had been there, It Is
only natural that they should feel that
the Dodgers have tho better chance. In
Pittsburgh the fans and scribes aro pull
Inr for the Phillies, but bellevo that tho
Dodgers will win out.
PENN CAPTAIN
WANTS BRAINS ON
VARSITY ELEVEN
Players Must Bo Able to
Think for Themselves
Under Given Conditions
In St. Wilg Sid Keener, of the Times,
Is the only crltlo who can see tho Phils,
while Charley rioylo, of the Gazette-Times,
1 the only Pittsburgh critic who has con
fluence In the nullity of the Phillies.
Keener says that Alexander will turn the
tide, while Doyle Insists that tho Phils have
tho ben nil around team and play better
ir-Miie ban.
In tho other National Lenitiie cities sen
timent favors the Phillies to repeat Thl".
t.i true even In Boston, where tho Hravea
still have a chance for the flag. It. n
McMillan, of the Boston Journal, says that
ths Braves probably would win the pennant
It thev had six games with the Dodgers
Instead of the Phillies. Ho says that 'the
Hravea ill not fear the series with the
Olants, but cannot beat Alexander and
Illxey, while the Phillies nre not so strong
against tho Giants as agatnst Boston.
O'Leary Can't See Phils
Nick Flately. of the Ileratd; Melville
Webb, of the Globe; Kd McOrath. of tho
Post; John Mornn, of the American, and
Burt Whitman, of the Traveler, nil favor
tho Phillies, while Jim O'Lenry, also of tho
Globe. In the only Boston critic who thinks
the Phils will loso out 0'I.eary appears to
bellevo that both the Braves and Dodgers
will finish ahead of Moran's team, placing
tho Braves first by a nerrow margin.
Jack nyder, of tho Cincinnati 1'nqulrer,
and Bill Phelon, of the Star, who were hero
with tho Beds, contend that the Phlll'ca aro
tho class of tho pennant contenders, and
believe that Alexander will pull tho cham
pions through. Phelon. who Is rather
prejudiced toward anything from New
York, though ho works In Cincinnati, has an
Idea that the Giants have a posslblo chance,
ana spends h s spare moments figuring It
out
Chicago Strong for Moran
Chicago Is strong for tho Phillies. This
may be due to the fact that there Is a
natural prejudice against Ebbets nnd any
thing that Is close to Now York, but such
veteran scribes as SI Sanborn, of the
Tribune; Charley Drydon. of the Examiner;
Oscar Hclchow. of tho Post; George It'ce,
of tho News; Harry Nellly, of tho Ameri
can, and Jimmy Crulsenberry, also of the
Tribune, seldom nllow their prejudices or
enthusiasm to run away with their better
Judgment, and they all think the Phillies
will w n with a little to spare.
In the Sunday and Tuesday Issues of tho
Chicago papers the comment on tho Berlcs
between the Cubs and Dodgers In Brooklyn
Indicates clearly that all of the above
critics excepting Sinborn, who Is In Chi
cago, believe that Robinson's team has shot
Its bolt. They point out that Cutshaw has
gone stale and several other players nro
showing unmistakable signs of cracking.
Dodgers Playing on "Nerve"
They also contend that the fast men of
mtdscason have slowed down and tho team
appears to be staggering along on Its nerve.
If the Dodgers have enough nerve they
may hang on, nnd If they succeed In win
ning out they deserve greater credit for
winning when excellent Judges have pro
nounced them through.
FOLWELL'S IDEA, TOO
By NEIL MATHEWS
Captain Tonn Football Team.
Something the rpectntor never sees nnd
something which Is Just ns Important In
tho final welectlim of a nrslty team Is
brn ii wvrk. There nro legions of coaches
who cun teuch n man to fall on a ball.
Thoro nre lint ns many who can teach a
man to tackle, to block nnd to charge,
fewer men can dope out plays, and still
fewer can sec that good plays nro executed
properly. But when It comes to coaches
who teach the men to think overy minute,
to use their brains as well as their bodies
and legs, you find tho field narrowed down
to n smnll handful.
Tho secret of success In anything Is cool,
brainy execution of bomethlng which has
becomo second naturo In tho doing.
Wo at Franklin Field nro striving to ob
tain a team of eleven men whoso brains will
work before their feet nnd who can
diagnose tho opponent's play nnd then stop
It; who can hear a signal given by the
quarterback and th-n execute a play nnd
do It In n brainy way, artng their play to
meet new conditions.
In order to hnvo such a team men must
bo found who hnvo tho possibilities of
development and then proceed with tho de
velopment. That Is what Folwcll has been
doing this week. Every day have gone
on the field, executed our plays, scrimmaged
and gone through tho customary practice,
but overy night we meet In the training
house and hao what Bob calls a bratn-de-volonlng
session.
Certain situations nro imagined and then
some ono Is asked to boIvo tho problem, dis
cussions follow and before we know It there
aro argument, which shows thnt Interest Is
aroused, nnd when Interest Is aroused no
matter how sluggish tho brain may be It
will respond a little at least. In this way
the men nre taught to think of football and
to know what to do If certain cases arise.
Then we discuss the rulos nnd tho Impor
tance of obeying them. A team can spoil
an otherwlso good gamo by transgressing
tho rules and at the samo ttme causo Itself
trouble. So with such methods of attack
I feel sure that Bob will storm and tako
the best fortified brain In the squad before
long Just who that Is I would hate to say.
If we enn get the men to comblno the
two tho mechanical and the brain work
we hao what wo want a cool, calculating
machine, which known tho game from A
to Z, and which makes few mistakes and
takes advantage of all tho opponents
make that Is the goal. Tho next thing
is to reach It.

Out from the west como two boxers, a

preparatory work boxing In the gymna
sium can bo used as a criterion, neither Is
a false nlnrm They nre Mlko Paulson, a
Dano, nnd Mickey Hhcrldnn, Irish, of course,
from Minneapolis nnd Chicago, respectively,
Paulson Is rather tall for a lightweight
nnd has a much longer reach than boxers of
his weight, but ho Is n legitimate im
pounder. Tho Dane Is a clcNcr boxer. He
possesses a wonderful left Jab and shoots
out southpaw stabs with n velocity of rlflo
bullets. He punches good with his rlgTlt
hand, too, and Mike probably will show up
a lot of lightweights In the East
Sheridan, on the other hand, Is a cave
man. He really la n wild Irishman, and
keeps his arms flatting continually without
measuring his wallops. Mickey makes tho
body his forte ot attack, nnd he bangs away
at close quartern with triphammer force.
In a sparring match with a local middle
weight both bos apparently ustng their
bet punches Sheridan shook blows oft his
chtu without being budged. He never
backed away, slugging continually to tho
body and alternating to tho head.
l'nulson nnd Sheridan look lllto a brace
of the best fist dingers who have crossed tho

TED MEREDITH, TRACK STAR, ;
SAILS FOR EUROPE TODAY TO
COMPETE ON CINDER PATH
JAMES E. (TED) MEREDITH, ot this
city, whoso performances In the Olympic
games held In Stockholm, Sweden, In 1912,
startled tho world, and who as a representa
tive of the University of Pennsylvania ere
nted several world's records, sailed today for
Stockholm, whero he, together with three
other American athletes, wtll compete In the
National Championship Games of Sweden,
Since his graduation from tho University
of Pennsylvania last June, Meredith has
kept himself In condition through a syste
matic course of training. He Is In excellent
health nnd says ho will set up a new rec
ord In tho 800-meter race, provided condi
tions are favorable.
After touring Sweden, Denmark and Nor
way, Meredith will return to London, where
he Intends establishing himself In business.
Meredith was taken to Stockholm ns a
member of the American tenm because, of
his remarkable running while a student nt
Mercersburg Academy. When he defeated
tho world's greatest athletes In the SOO
meters race In tho record tlmo ot 1:51 9-10,
It was believed the mark would stand for
many yearn. His time for 880 yards, which
was also taken at the games, was 1:E2U.
The mark did stand for a long tlmo, but
It was Meredith himself who broke It It
was In his last race as a representative of
the University of Pennsylvania that the
latest record of 1:62 25 was made. It
was the dual meet of the Red and Blue with
Cornell Inst spring when Meredith was pitted
against Wlnagle, Cornell's greatest runner.
The men ran a dead heat until within
twenty ynrds of the finish, when Meredith's
celebrated whirlwind finish asserted Itself
nnd he broke tho tape n foot In front ot
Wlnagle.
His world's record of 47 2-5 seconds In
the qunrtcr-mlle dash was established at
the Intercollegiate meet at Cambridge,
Mass., last May. In this race Meredith
was pitted against Rellly, of Dartmouth,
and Crlm, of Cornell.
The team which Meredith will captain la
composed ot "Ilob" Simpson, of the Uni
versity of Missouri, holder of the world's
record In the 120 high hurdle; Fred Mur
ray, of Leland Stanford University. Os-tt-fomla,
Intercollegiate low and high httHU
champion, nnd "Joe" Loomls, of the CM
cngo Athletic Club, who captured tier
events In the national championships at
Baltimore in 1814 He won the low h.retre,
high jump and 100-yard dash.
There la a. possibility that "Andy" War,
tho national 100 and 220-yard champls.
wilt accompany ths team. Ward l frm
Chicago.
Tho quartet sailed on the Prince Os4mw,
made famous by Henry Ford's peace expeeH
tlon. They expect to nrrlve at Christian,
Norway, on October 12, They will oem
pcto in games there and go direct to Stock
holm by rail. The athletes will train on
board ship. Meredith says ho expects te
run several miles around the decks every
day. Meredith and Warren M. Wells, of Phil
ndelphla, have established the firm evf
Meredith & Wells, for the purpose of deal
ing In dyestuffs and chemicals. It Is this
firm that Meredith will represent upon his
return to London.
