BALL LIKE HORSE RACING ONE CAN PICK A LOSER, BUT IT'S HARD TO PICK A WINN
MIDSEASON RANKING PLACES
PITT AND PENN AMONG THE
LEADING TEAMS IN THE EAST
' Both Elevens Have Faced the Test, While Yale,
Princeton and Cornell as Yet Are Untried.
, J Next Saturday's Games Are Important
r A FOOTBAI.I team from the lltnto of Pennsylvania has a mlshtjr good chance
j XX to win the title of champion of the United States this fall. Mldseason ranking
C the eleven put Ponn and Pitt In the samo class with Tale. Princeton, Har
vard and Cornell, with th Dulld ok and the TlR-er slightly In the lead. Just why
these teams are considered slightly better than the others Is not known, unless
It Is that the depesters were not among those present at the Tcnn-Pcnn State and
Pitt-Syracuse games last Saturday and some one swiped their Sunday papers which
earrted accounts of those battles. No one who saw Pcnn defeat State will admit
that the Red and Blue has a weak team and the spectators at the Pitt-Syracuse
disaster are firm In their boWif that Glenn Warner has turned out the best foot
ball team In the world. With those facta staring us In the face, where do the
ether four teams come InT
It Is a trifle early In the season to pick a champion and, more than that. It Is
exceedingly dangerous. We fill know the vagaries of the well-known dope when It
comes to college football. The safest way to pick a winner Is watt until the game
Is over, and It also would be a good plan to wait until December 1 before picking
a. champion. However, as It seems to be the proper thing to do in these modern
times, we might as well roll a pill with the other "experts." From what wo have
seen. Tale has a good team this year, Princeton seems better than In years,
Cornell Is strong and ditto, Harvard. Tale, Princeton and Cornell, however, have
not been tested as yt, and their real strength not exposed. Harvard fell by the
wayside when Tufts visited Soldiers' Field, and Princeton no doubt felt very,
proud when she trlmmod the samo team a week later. The Tigers' victory was not
ao remarkable, as the coaches knew what they were going up against and pre
pared tho men to moet tho versatile attack. It was the same as playing with
marked cards, for the Tufto equad was too small to spend much time rehearsing
new plays, and the players wore forced to rest a few days aftor the hard battle
with the Crimson. At that, Princeton was able to score only on a goal from the
field, and Tlbbott had to boot tho ball from the 46-yard line.
Biff Scores In Early Games aro Misleading
"TTtMXEJ nd Cornell, too, have had an easy time of It thus for, overwhelming
their opponents ind running up big scores. These scores ore mleleadlng at
thla time of the year, as they do not Indicate the truo strength of the teams. It's
a clncb to mako touchdowns against a weakor eleven, but the real test comes when
tho teams aro evenly matched. Syracuso ran up 190 points In thrco games before
she met Pitt, and look what happened thonl The early season dope Is all off,
as It1 generally 1 written by an exhuberant, and highly enthusiastic student, who
Injects enough college spirit In the articles to win a dozen championships.
Nothing roally Is known of the true conditions until the test comes, and even
then wo aro not sure. But tho big stuff will be pulled next Saturday when Har
vard meets Cornell, Princeton battles with Dartmouth and Tale tries out her re
constructed Joneslan eleven against Washington and Jefferson. After these
games havo been played, we will have a better line on the leaders whoever they
may be.
That brings us back to Pitt and Penn, two elevens which have faced the
test and emerged with flying colors. Penn's wonderful and unexpected victory
over State proves that Bob Folwell has a good fighting team which must be
taken seriously from now on and Pitt's enormous score run up on Syracuso places
tho Westerners way out In front.
It la said that Howard Berry defeated Stato, but that Is entirely wrong. Berry
' scored most of the points and his Individual play helped some, but he could
not havo done a thing If the ten other players on the team had not worked
with him. Tho line had to keep the others back while he was drop kicking and
tho backs Interfered when ho made that sensational run for a touchdown.
f Entire Pcnn Team Responsible for Victory
r: WAS 'not an Individual victory, but one In which the entire Pennsylvanl
team participated. We must not lose sight of the fact that Heinle Miller Is one
of tho best ends In the East, Capt Mathews and Little are two wonderfully good
tackles, Wray Is a high-class center and Gravy Williams and tho other backfleld
men play good football. Also, boar In mind that Bob Folwell has accomplished
' something that no other coach ever has done at Penn converted a losing team
Into a winning aggregation In one week. The bouquets should be spread around
sot centered.
Penn and Pitt will play their annual game on Forbes Field, Pittsburgh,
next Saturday, and the combat should be the best of the day. More football will
be shown than at Harvard, Princeton or Tale, as both teams are aggressive, fight
hard all the time, and In addition to that the result means success or failure for
the season. We know what Pitt has got We know It la one of the best teams
in the country today, with Captain Bob Peck, Hcrron, Hastings, DeHart and the
Wonderful McLaren in the line-up, but as for Penn wo are uncertain. The result
of tho State game showed that the team was capable of Improving a great deal
In one week and we look for further Improvement next Saturday. Folwell Is
sure to spring something new, and those who travel to the Smoky City next Satur
day will not be disappointed.
Still Clamoring for Baseball Probe
VTEW TORIC scribes are endeavoring to make John K. Tener, president of the
v National League, probe the much.talked-of Dodgers-Giants game, In Which
the latter were accused of "lying down" to the Robins. Sid Mercer, of the
Now Tork Globe, has the following to say on the subject:
"The lull that always follows the blowing out of baseball's annual hurricane
the world's series probably Is responsible for a revival of the recent persistent
inquiry Into John J. Med raw's state of mind the day he ran out on the Giants In
Brooklyn.
"McGraw Is becalmed In the midst of the National League's own little pri
vate tempest. In this controversy he has been a man of few words. Those few
words ho hurled at his team the afternoon he made his premature exit and he
has had none to add to his original output. Neither has he retracted any.
"Tho hysteria attending the games for tho world's championship temporarily,
overshadowed McGraws scathing Indictment of his own team. - Wo were told
then that the National League would deal with the culprit or culprits with Its
usual Arm (?) hand. Two weeks have passed and the National League Is still
dealing under the table, as always.
"McGraw had Intended to go to Baltimore at the close of the season and
was willing to waive extradition rights, but finally decided to remain here, where
he easily could be summoned. Up to last Wednesday he could have been found
at the Imperial Hotel any day. He la now In Baltimore.
"If anybody In authority had decided to start an official investigation the mate
rial was all at hand last week. But the truth of the matter Is that nobody does.
There has been newspaper talk of certain club owners demanding an,lnvestlgalon
or authorizing tho league to ask McGraw for an official explanation. That Is
probably, just what It Is newspaper talk, and nothing more.
"The National League Is never without Its quarrel. It Is not a happy family.
In this latest controversy tho league has evinced no strong desire to wash Its soiled
linen In public.
"McGraw Is, standing pat on his statement, and he is so quiet about It that
those whose duty It Is to lnvestlgato entertain a lurking suspicion that John J.
has something up his sleeve Whenever McGraw starts anything that reflects his
judgment on the performance of a baseball team he generally Is right. He has had
a few sessions with the league executives In his time and always has mode out a
good ease.
"Probably If the whole truth were known the National League would prefer
'to ohoke this latest scandal, Somo folks think that If McGraw Is further an
Beyed about It he may come out with something that will cause a real sensation."

Miss Caverly Beats Mrs.
Fox for Cricket Club
Championship Great
Finish
By SANDY McNIBLICK
Vo more golf till epring-g-tlme.
THn spirit of this was evidenced In the
thoughts of Miss Mildred Cavorly, final
1st In the women's golf championship of tho
united States and Philadelphia champion,
ns. she tossed the tattered links glove In
the air nt the end of hor match with Mrs.
Caleb Vox for tho championship of tho
Philadelphia Cricket Club, and said it from
the heart:
'Thank goodness. It's all over. No more
matches till next yearl"
It was the last Important championship
or the local schedule the two stars played
yesterday at the Cricket Club, and nothing
comes now till the springtime, when It all
marts all over again.
For Prcstlgo
Miss Caverly won yesterday, one up. and
evened up with Mrs. Pox for the beating tho
latter gave her In tho finals for the cham
pionship of tho Philadelphia Country Club,
uoth stars played very fast golf. Miss
Caverly shooting an 85, with nearly all tho
putts holed out. while Mrs. Fox, likewlso,
shot an approximate 87.
.uM".Fox ri'W onu beautiful shots
through the Breen, and at the end of her
snots to the flag showed some of the most
machine-like putting she has ventured all
fcaw.1: tS.ho mlssed her only putt on the
twelfth hole, when she did not see how Bho
could very well miss, being so close. Mrs.
Fox made up for It. though, by holing out
rrom near the edge of the next green after
studying the putt carefully.
Mrs. Fox was one up at the turn, after
the lead had seesawed all the way out,
and when she won the tenth with a 8 to 7
things began to look tremulous for the
local champion.
In the Kitchen
But Miss Caverly descended Into the tri
angle of holes In the Devil's Kitchen with
decided eagerness to level the other's lead.
Sho got a 4. 4, 3 to the B, 6, 3 of Mrs.
Fox and they were all square again. Mrs.
Fox, who was alBO pneo a national finalist
and a city champion, sank a 3 on the
fifteenth for the lead again, but an iron
shot to tho trap guarding tho next green
evened the match again. A wide approach
shot to the seventeenth pin cost Mrs. Fox
the match, as It turned out, for she lost
the hole and could only get a half on the
home green.
A bungling burglar was discovered In
tho play to the last pin. He would be rated
as a clever citizen, only for tho fact that
he was detected In his little prank. A
workman with a shovel over his shoulder
crossed the fair way as Mrs. Fox was about
to drive off.
Shouts offerer sent him running, but his
eyo squinted at the flight of the ball
Whistling Jolllly, he walked casually oast
the place whero It landed, over In the tr
to the right of the hole. trees
Then he remembered he had to hurrv
home and broke Into the well-known
Watlan tope. Mm Fox. however? had B
hlm carelessly pick up the ball In his haste.
At her shouts he put It back.
The attempted theft was so oareless-llke

Two big white flyer matches are listed
on this week's shooting calendar, In addi
tion to tho regular club tests. Today at
the Hngle dunning Club, Manoa, J. IS.
Carney and II. Thompson, both local shots,
meet In a twcnty.flve-bird race, while on
Saturday, at the same club, Charles Diddle,
of West Philadelphia, crosses gunbarrels
with Joe Graves, of the Delaware Water
Gap, In a challenge test for tho Harrlsburg
Sportsmen's Cup, emblematic of the Penn
sylvania whltc-flycr championship.
Tho men will shoot nt twenty-five birds.
Riddle Is the present holder of the title, hav
ing won It from Anthony Felix a few
months ago. Last Saturday Biddlo grassed
forty-seven of a pcss'ble fifty flyers, and
his opponent will have to be shooting In his
best form to wrest the coveted honor from
htm.
Karl Melrath, a Philadelphia gunner, won
the cup at Harrlsburg last year and lost It
In a match with Joe Graves, of the Dela
ware Water Gap. Later Billy Clegg, another
Quaker City gunner, came along and chal
lenged Graves, and when the smoke had
cleared he was adjudged the winner. An
thony Felix, also of Philadelphia, focused
his eyes oh the "champs," and In a test
with Clegg brought home the bacon.
Then there appeared In tho field a south
paw wing shot. Charles Blddle, of West
Philadelphia. He challenged tho holder of
the cup, and the challenger was returned
the victor. Since Blddle captured the white
flyer prlzo he successfully has defended It
In a match with McQulgan.
