VISIONS of a pennant flying at Uroad and Huntingdon itrceti for tho 1917
season still afo befor9 tho Will faithful, despite that clght-Rame handicap

'Sii' games In three. days apnlnst the league pacemakers that's tho hard task now
, before Moran ink, his men, and If they succeed In taking tho measure nf tho
Giants In tho majority of the contests then they still can count themselves In tho
race. Since Monday tho Willi havo gained 11 game nnd one-half on New lork,
taking two from the Dodgers whllo tho Braves wcro annexing two out of three
from, tho leaders. Tho (Hants expect to havo Horzog In condition to take part
. In tho Important series, ami If tho captain of tho leaders 1m able to take his place
ih the line-up then tho Wills are In for a severe session. Yesterday Heraog played
part of the gamo and out of two trips to the plate was good for a double.
Tho Giants aro not playing tho tamo ball that marked their work a few weeks
ago. Probably tho big lead which they held had something to do with the let
down, but Just now tho Wills arc going strong and with the temporary (dump of
the Giants should make headway at tho cvpeiuc of tho leaders. lavender N cer
tain to be called upon to bear his part In Jolting the GlantH, nnd If ho goes well
In tho first gamo it would not bo surprising to see Moran send hint back In tho
econd.
Ky xne runs played a lino article or ball against Ihe Dougcts yesterday and only
a remarxaoio uirovv uy iuexman in center new saved the pennant cnasors irom
winning In the regulation nine Innings. Stock had singled with one gone and
after Cravath expired tho run-and-hlt sign was out and Stock started 'it mad
chaso around tho bases. Ludcrus did his part and doubled to center, but Ktoek
was cut down at tho plate by Ulckman. The Wills bunched two ot the three hits
In this frame,, but couldn't win. Weffcr twirled wonderful ball, retiring the Phils
tn order in cloven of tho fourteen Innings.
0HSC1IGKH ulso Is deserving of praise. Ho allowed six hits, walked
three and hit ono batsman. Ho was In troubln on u number of occa
sions, but threo fast doublo plas did much to keep runs away from th"
plate Bancroft uml Nlehoff caih had eight assist.
. Bush and Witt Lift Macks Out of Cellar
TH13 Mackmen camo up for air. After it long sojourn In the cellar the A'h,
by taking threo straight from tho Senators while tho White Son woio making
headway at the expense of tho Browns, deserted tho cellar and Ihe St. Louis
aggregation now Is the occupant of the lowly position. Joo Hush, back In tho
gdod graces of Cornelius McGIUicudily, expressed his appreciation by holding
Washington to four lilts, whllo Witt's timely work was respoiiblhlo for tho pair of
Mack runs. He scored tho first and his triple drove homo tho second. Bush
.started the first game of the double-header against the Senators Mondaj, but was
derricked early under the sevcro bombardment of C'rlfllth bats and only for Rubo
Bchauer tho Athletics still would bo at tho bottom. .
.Bullet Joo asked for another trial before tho visitors got away and ho atoned
for his first failure by holding the Senators safo all tho way. Tho best tho
Slacks can do this jear Is to keep out of tho cellar, and If Connie does that much
to will call It a successful season. The Senators, In sixth place, enjoy a lead of
ten and one-half games and with only thirty more on the schedule It would
requlro a prolonged winning stieak for the Mucks to advanie.
Tho champion Bed Sox will bo hem for the next four dais, opening the
Cries at Shlbo Park this afternoon. Just now tho Boston clan Is seven games
In the roar of tho White So and If they wish to hao their pennant aspirations
realized It will be necessary for them to sweep the series. The Mnckmeii aro
Just as anxious to make a clean-up, as sccnth pluco li at slake, and It means inoro
to Mack than a pennant docs to tl'c Bed Sow Tin White Sox play in St. Louis
today, havo an open dato tomotrow, then return homo and entertain Cle eland
for two days.
RUTH and Mays, ulwajs trouble makers for the Mackmen, twirled tho
double-header against, the Yankees estcrday, and It Is some satisfac
tion to huc them out ot tho way at the start. But Eany has Leonard
and Shore in rcsere, and thin pair, when in condition, can make It hard
for any team.
East Will Have Chance to Sec "Dobie" Football
THE most successful football touch of the Tar West will bo seen on an Kditeni
gridiron this fall. For the last few yearn we huvo heard of the wonderful work
of the University of Washington coach, who went through season after season
without suffering a reverse. The only setback his team encountered In eight
years was a scoreless tie agulnst tho University of Oregon, Hugo Bezdek'.s elceti,
Which defeated Pcnn at Fasjdena last New Year's Day. In his eight years at
Washington ho never lost n game, and for three seasons before going to Washing
ton coached college elevens without tasting defeat. Ho was a star at tho Uni
versity of Minnesota before entering upon his coaching career, and despite tho
calls of his alma mater remained away. Desplto his success with tho Washing
ton eleven ho "got In bad" with tho faculty for standing by his team when a few
were barred from the team for scholastic reasons. His record as u successful tutor
counted for nothing with the faculty and he was Invited to go. Tho team stood
by tho coach and a few of the stars also were told lo move.
Doblo then was engaged by the University of Detroit to act in tho capacity ot
head coach at a salary of $ol)0Q. He was led to believe that tho school had COO
advanced students and when ho Issued his call for candidates a few weeks ngo only
a handful turned out. Ho then learned that Instead of having 500 college students
the majority of this' number wero In the preparatory department and not eligible
tor the team. Then It was that he tendered his resignation, which was reluctantly
accepted.
Tho Naval Academy was In need of an experienced tutor slnco Head Coach
Ingram now Is In active servlco In tho navy. Tho Naval Academy has decided to
resume football, and with tho signing of Doblo tho Navy stock has taken a great
Jump. Tho Navy now has somo of tho best talent in the country, and many of
Coble's friends on tho coast decUro that tho Haughtonlzcd East soon will bo tho
Doblelzed East.
ALTHOUGH Doble went undefeated for eleven jears, he takes nothing
. for granted, and each fall what Is known as "Doblo grouch" Is de
veloped. This peculiar trait had Its origin In 1901 when Doble was playing
with Minnesota, and his team, confident of victory, fell victims to Wiscon
sin In tho annual clash.
Ted Meredith's Farewell to the Track
THE business cf flying has occupied the attention of ono of our greatest ath
letes for a decade. During the better part of that time he was flying over the
cinders of his native land with a few short trips abroad to demonstrato his
prowess on the track. But tho real business of flying, aviation, now demands
to much time from our celebrated speeder that ho finds few moments on terra
Anna to train and hence we hear of his announcement that with the running of
the mile relay in St. Louis on Labor Day he was going to put away his spikes
tor good. If we recall correctly It was Just a year ago that Ted made tho samo
declaration. Just a few days beforo the national A. A. U. championships at New
ark In September, 1916, Meredith stated that ho would bid farewell to the track
after the meet. Ted lost his national 440-yard title and was disappointed. Ho
changed his decision and said he would make one more attempt to recover his
lost honors.
Meredith was In competition regularly during tho 1916-1917 Indoor season
'. and not until he went to Ithaca last spring to take up active flying did ho sever
1 relations with the track. Now he finds his duties as student aviator requlro murh
time and concentration. Ted soon expects to get his commission and see servlco
i abroad and ho feels that to spend much tlmo on the track might Jeopardize his
J chance of winning an ofllcershlp. Meredith tried another comeback hero a few
' weeks ago In the Meadowbroolt games and took second to Shea, of Pittsburgh, in
49 2-5 seconds. When Ted was running In real Meredith form anything slower
than 48 3-S seconds was poor time. Ted admitted after the race against Shea
, that ,he underestimated the speed of his opponent and permitted him to set too
.J (ew tt pace in the early part of the race and that when he started his drive near
fry
IV?;
the finish he found Shea had Just as much In reservo as ho did.
V
jt-'k'V "DUT Ted had the satisfaction of being a winner In his last raco. He
Dran anchor man for Meadowbrook against u classy Held of nnnriar
- s '" mllers and when he took the baton In the last lap had ten yards to mako
j" up. II ran, a typical Meredith race, though It was his third of the day,
,j4v jflftlsfced Jn front arid ended hls career as1 a Meredith should bring It to a
"ctese.

People of means have always taken to
Fatimas in spite of the low pi;ice. One proof
of this is Fatima's popularity at the big Auto
mobile Shows, both in the East and West
Even at the Chicago and New York
Shows last January Fatimas outsold all
other cigarettes.
There's a mighty good reason for this big
. leadership: Fatima's Turkish blend gives
more than fine flavor alone, more than com
fort to throat and tongue Fatimas never
disturb even though you may smoke all
day long.
YouTl find Fatimas sensible as sure as
you try a package.
