The fact that Boeton haa no chance for the pennant, while New York want to
mrtHwl the Brave, mean that tho rhll liavo all the Wat of It. If the Phlla can
flv of tho Ix game acheduled lth Boiton It will bo nece.aary for the
Dodgera to win vry game nchediilwl with McOraWn flying aggregation. Offhand

Bancroft' Los Serious Blow
TUB absence of Bancroft from the came la a nerloua blow nt thin atogo of the
race, m Momn ha no other dcfemlvc player In nanny' data, and Jut now
H'4efenalve end of the game 1 moat Important. While Brooklyn batted Alexan
r hart In the aecond game on Saturday. It la poe.lble that the rhllllea wou d
.have beea able to huatl the Dodger with Bancroft In tho Kame, n the Inllrld
'went to pieces ns noon aa he rttlred.
Tlie burden of fllllnK Bancrofts poaltloti will bo placed upon Milton Stock.
Xaatacaaon It waa up to Block to fill In at third bnae. owing to nn Injury to Bobby
Bj-rne. who then waa conaldercd tho regular third bawman. If, Htock can fill In ns
well at ahort aa ho did at third, Bancroft' Injury I pot koIiik to cripple the team
a much oa expected j but In caao Stock falls to nil tho bill, the pennant chancea
et the rhll will not be qulto no bright
In any event. It la certain that the Phillies will not bo able to present their
strongest line-up for the world series providing they finish ahead of the Dodgers
ll the pennant race. Tho absenco of tho regular shortstop has a greater effect on
. team than would on accident to a man playing any other position. Tho defense
U built around tho shortstop and he really Is the mnln defensive cog. As John
MeOraw once remarked, a team Is Just as strong as Its shortstop.
McGraw Says Giants Will Defeat Brooklyn
TrANAaE!l MORAN and his players fcel'absolutely confident that the one extra
JV1 cams tho Dodgers have lost Is going to decide the rno and they feel that
they will not loso any moro games than Brooklyn for the rest of tho season, which
"would leave the Phils JUst a trlflo ahead of Itoblnson's (earn, providing rain does
ot cause the postponement of any of tho games scheduled for either team.
Yesterday wo met Manager McQraw, of the Giants, In Now York, and he do-
ekued that New York would play Its very best ball against the Dodgers and that
ho reallj expect to win thre of the four games played. The Intimation that the
plants will not try to beat the Dodgers peeves McQraw very much, and he in.
elstf that Brooklyn will have a harder tlmo beating New York than the Phils will
McQraw declares that he never saw a ball player who would deliberately pull
. a throw-down and that his players are Just as anxious to win from Brooklyn a
fc.fora the winning streak was broken. McQraw says that ho will work h very
best Pitchers against the Dodgers, and that reddle Behupp, who has been pitching
wonderful ball, probably will be permitted to face Robinson's team twice.
If" McQraw goes through with his present plan of working his pitchers the
rhll can rest assured that they will not loso the pennant because of- the close
friendship existing between Managers McQraw and Robinson. New York fans
appear toWlevo that tho Giants will not try to beat the Dodgers, and aro Just a
trifle suspicious about tho series.
Probably the Intimations that New York would not try to beat tho Dodgers
will aid the Phillies, as It Is reasonably certain that McQraw's men will have to
play their best uall. Baseball would be given a black eye If the Dodgers sue-
- ninfV In wlnnlmr four In a row from the aiants. as It Is certain that McQraw'a
tealThulto prcsont condition la much too strong for the leaders, and needs only to
play falrBSrMobe- morethan a .match for tho Robins.
ifaWohnson Made Great Race Possible
BAN JOHNSON made posslVlo; tile" great American League bunting race of
1916. If It had, not been for'hlsshrewdness, added to his dictatorial power,
the affair would havo been a walkaway fortho Red Box.
. There was much1 'comment created In the springtime when Ban engineered
ithe deal that sent Trls Speaker to tho Indians. Our most astute cltltcns rose
"right up and remarked that Ban was "Jockeying" the race, that he was weakening
the Red Sox and not doing any real good for the then hopelessly appearing In.
'liana. But the" hoi pollof was wrong. Ban's move ultimately generated more
thrills than havo skidded along baseball's spinal column for an extensive period.
. jit Ban bad stopped that Speaker deal tho Red Box, assisted by the terrifta
touting of Trls,- would have cinched the flog about August I. Trls, alono and
VaMed, la good for at least ten victories in a normal season. BatUIng under
the Red Sox standard this year ho would have turned probably a dozen defeats
"into, triumphs. And the race could not havo been dignified by such a name after
Jntdseason.
'
ALl tltafia necessary to be popular In Brooklyn Is to Ipdlte a poem to Charley
XlBbbVt. The .actions of tho Squire of Flatbush toward tho loyal fans, his "dear
fans," remind ono of the pork-barrel Congressman who appeals to tho D. O. P.
Wore election day and presents them with a large, luscious raspberry after the
Tote are counted. If" Ebbots and ony of hla fans over meet In Batanla, the feeling
lee each will be so warm that the place will be a first-class skating rink.
' Mack's days of experimentation look to be about over. At least, he seems
rsasonaljly lure of two maybe three Infield positions, whllo his outfield and
pitching stK rank up' as all thatlght be desired, considering his troubles of the
last tw years, Vfhtn Connie and his band get together on another drive for the
" peiinant, he will deserve more praise than ho Is likely to get. Few reallxo tho heavy
' obstacle that he has had to overcome, and the continued ridicule, even abuse, that
' Ijai'Tjeen poured on the silent head of tho remarkable leader would have turned
kaek, men with less determination of purpose.
"Rube Marquard looked bette? against the Phils on Saturday than ever before,
. whan ha waa nnmnlllnir hi run of nineteen consecutive victories. Mar-
Vyai has more courage now and is a smarter pitcher, Back a few years ago,
!.4sijarnuard thought only of buzzing bis unusual fast ball by the batters, but
BtZl&ftr he depends largely upon a change of pace, a hla fast ball has lost most of
r"t!W''atjff.''

WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND
By LOUIS II. JAFFE
Benny Kaufman has been boxing about
ten years, more or less, yet his encounter
tonight with Kid Williams at the Olympla
AUiletlo Association will be his first ex
perlence In the ring opposed to a cham
pion. The Pliltailelphun' ambition has
been to pair off with u tltlo-holder, and his
match this eenlng gives him an oppor
tunity to become fsmoui overnight.
Until the latter part of last seaaon, when
he was taken under the nuldance of
Charley Wlermuller, little Benjamin had
been boxing featherweights, lightweight
and, on one occasion, he recalls a match
with a welterweight. And nil the while
Denny was a legitimate bantam, which liu
proved when ho wolghed In at 110 pounds
recently for Johnny Krtle.
Tonights' set-to Is scheduled at 120
pounds, ringside, and both Kaufman and
Williams should be ut their best.
The remainder of the Ulympla'a program
Is also composed of bantamweight bouts,
with the exception of the Sailor Smiley
Young Palmer scrap.
Herman Proved His Class
Pets (also Kid) Herman finally got u
chance here to show how good ho really
was. and ho allowed the National Club
fans to be Judges when he dlsilaed class
of the high-water mark In defeating Barney
llahn Saturday night. Herman's victory
wan unanimous. He not only outboxed ths
tough little Illchmondlte, but also out
fought htm at several stages of tho con
test. Herman's exhibition was somewhat on
the order of Johnny Dundee's style of box
ing. While Pette's punching was rather
light, his stiff left-handers and punches
with both hands to body were landed In
sufficient number to leave smarting evi
dence of their landing. Tho New Orleans
lad also crossed severul right-hand punches
to I latin's chin which locked him, and It
was apparent at the final gong that I'ete
was just getting warmed up.
Two other boxers who hae been appear
ing In longer bouts than are legallied In
Philadelphia and were coming strong at
the final bell were Mike Paulson and
Mickey Sheridan. The former's great rally
In the last two rounds against Charley
Doyle earned him a draw, while Sheridan,
although he made a good Impression, was
defeated by Willie Moore.
Terry .McQoern, who has been showing
Improved form In every match, again re
turned a winner- when he declsUeiy de
feated Willie Jones, one of tho toughest
fighters who have ever appeared in this
city. Jones has been boxing for fourteen
years and still can make any of the light
weights show their best form. McGovern
has developed a terrific punch with his
right hand, and he gives promise of prov
ing himself u real top-notch lightweight.

The Price
of Oysters
ON account of the higher wages commanded by employes gen
erally, and because of the increased cost of certain food prod
ucts, due to limited supplies or other circumstances over which
the hotels and restaurants of this city have no control, it has
become necessary to make slightly advanced charges for certain
dishes on their menus.
This advance applies to all dishes in which OYSTERS are
used, their price having advanced along with butter, eggs, flour
and other commodities.
Oyster dealers throughout the city are also obliged to ask
a slightly higher price for oysters than those in effect last year.f
HOWEVER, this season's oysters arc so far superior in
quality, flavor and size to any received here in recent years that
the price increase is hardly as great as the increase in tho value
of the oysters.
Ryan's Oysters, which ore used nt most good hotels and restaurantn
and may be obtained from good dealers generally throughout the city, aro
exceptionally large, firm and fino flavored, and aro recommended to all
thoughtful housewives for their high food valuo and economy.
Oysters aro indorsed by tho United States Government ns an econom
ical pure food. And Philadelphiahs arc already consuming 350,000 to
600,000 more oysters every day than they did one year ago.
