"'. 1 H1CHMAN." Lucky Break Favors the Chances of the Red Sox to Win Pennant of lucky breaks In tho came and things like that, we believe that Sox are practicing up for tho big series in tho fall. Tho luckiest bleak of the week, from n Huston viewpoint, wus when Buck Weaver broke his finger In Washington while sliding to 11 base This puts the star third baseman of the White- Sox on the sidelines for 11 few weeks and his club Is weakened con siderably when additional strength Is needed. This Injuiy almost removes the Chicago club ns a pennant possibility, and unless n good man Is ptocured from Borne place" in the bushes Comllkey will lose another chance to put 011 the fall classic, liny Sch.ilk Is not In good physical trim to stand a long siege and Is expected tn break down any day. With tj)ls pair out of the llne-up, the other plnyets will lose confidence and tho trip down the toboggan will begin It must be remembered that the White Sox will end the se.it-on on alien soil while Boston will be In Its own back jard. That's quite a handicap for the westerners to overcome. Last week the White Sox fell down terribly when the expeit.s predicted that they would be making hay. Instead of walloping the Athletics and Washington Vhile Hoston was battling Cleveland nml Detroit, they met with many reverses, and today only half a game sepuiates them from the lied Sox Harry's men had ft liaid time of it with the Indians and Tigers, but pulled up some on tho lendeis. Tho cntlie war map has been changed In the last week anil now It is nns boils 's rac.e. Peihnps Cleveland will leap Into the front or Detroit mas stage a garrison finish. Who can tell? TODAY the lied Sox will mingle with our A's and this scries wilt have nn Important beuilpg on the race. Connie's maulers are" traveling at 11 fast clip, losing but two games last week, and Hoston will be forced to play hlgh-clnss baseball to win. It would not be at all surprising to 1,00 the Athletics push Harry's men back a 'few notches, especially after the haul sules with Cleveland and Detroit. Penn Makes Surprising Move in Eliminating Assistant Coaches TT Snn.MS strange that the University of Pennsylvania, after taking a stand for tho continuation of college athletics, principally football, should be the first to Cut down the coaching staff According to an announcement em.tnntlng from Fianklln Field, nil of the assistant coaches have been eliminated and only one man will have charge of the vvoik. Of course, the University Knows what It Is c!olng nnd evidently believes It Is tho best thing to be done under the clrcum Stances, but Judging fiom the way things line up at present, we believe that moie assistant coaches should he put on Instead of cutting them out altogether. Foothiill this e.ir will not be plased by specialists Hvery man In rollcge bos 11 chance to mnke the team, and thnt means a huge number of candidates will be oi the field It would not bo nt nil surprising If twice ns mans men will repot t than 11 year ago. Many will have had no experience nt nil and special coaching 'sa 111 be required to get them In shape. If no one Is there to take them In charge, how long will they continue to come out? It won't bo for long, ns the most dis heartening thing In the world is to stand around doing nothing while a favored few go through the work directed by the head coach. The result will be Just the opposite to what tho Penn authorities hope for nnd the game will be retarded In stead of advanced. One man cannot take charge of n big varsity squad under ordlnniy conditions, so how can he direct one twice as large with Innumerable . handicaps to overcome' No doubt volunteers will be called for and many foimei gildlrnn stars will respond. But they will not bo able to give all of their time to the game, as a few are In business nnd that must be attended to The men nre willing tn mako 11 personal sacrifice, but It can't be carried too foi. Take the case of Lon Joiirdet, the efficient conch of the freshmen. I.on Is emploed by importing goods Jlrm here and cannot afford to tale the time off Without remuneration. He would bo tho first to donate his services to Penn, but donations do not go veiy far when tho butcher nnd grocei nie Interviewed. Joiirdet Is needed nt Penn to handle the freshmen, for the fledglings nre the back bone of the football tenm In tho next three years. If they get the proper start they will be ready to step Into the varsity next sear. If not, It will take another year to pic pure them for the llrst team. Joiirdet should be kept on the Job, ns his Work last sear proved he Is the best man that could be proem ed. TT IS undeistod that the head coach has not yet signed n contract foi this - fall. That being the ense, he has a chance to step In and work for a smaller salary and distribute the rest of It among a corps of assistants. It would bo n populnr move and Penn would be In no danger of slipping bnek Into the rut she occupied two eais ago. Winner of FultonMorris Bont May Meet Jess Willard Till IKK weeks from today, In Canton, O., the most Important heavyweight match of the enr will be stiiged when Carl Morris nnd Fred Fulton meet for n fifteen round mix, .Morris won the Inst battle on a foul In the fifth round, nnd since that time Fredwnrd has been loud In his protestations of tho decision. The Pluulous Dasterei sajs he can trim tho Oklahoma mounta f' and after that Wlllnrd must fight or relinquish his clnlm to the heavyweight chumplonshlp. Although Fredwnrd Is speaking for press agent purposes only, he has the proper dope. Wlllaid bus been champion for more than two years and Indulged In only one battle. He Is shaking down the dear old public for thousands of dollars each JertT amf clcveily sidesteps all tempting offers for n match. His logical opponents me Morris nnd Fulton and the winner can write his own tlckot. If Kljr Jess, the circus man, refuses, then ho should be forced to relinquish h8 grip on the title unci slip It to some one who will defend It. Instead of locking it up In u safety deposit vault. Jess Is too big to fight In the army, he says, and per h,aps he Ib too big to enter the squared circle. He probably will be willing to box Fullon, but Morris Is a harder proposition. Cold feet would prevent this match. Matt Hlnkcl, the Cleveland promoter, Is staging this Important Labor Day battle. He knows thnt the winner will have a perfect right to meet the champion and has a partial promise from Willard to box for him some time In the fall. Mntt Is In position to put up a big purse for the mill and can run It as well if not better than nny of tho other so-called promoters. He surprised the world when he put on the Kllbane-Chaney fight last year and came back with first-class shows In Cleveland this winter. Hlnkei has done more for the boxlng4 game In Ohio bun aijy other person and stands out as the greatest and squarest promoter In the United States today. f will referee the Fulton-Morris bout, which means that each man wll receive a square deal and the public will get a run for Its money.
