Our Phils not only fell, but they fell
nilli n dull, iittiiseatinc craeh ns a!
grand finale. Philadelphia fans prob- .
nbly Mill never see Oavvy CrnvathV
men again as they were yesterday. They ,
don't want to. It was tragic even to ;
the nth degree. When the dawn of
another baseball season bursts upon
the unsuspecting public, f'nvvy is likely

There was one big redeeming feature
about the Phils yesterday. The weather
was perfect. Neither wire the Phils.
The right-field trail suffered severe
casualties. Of course, it icoju't the

TF A feller sticks to science he's gcn'ly

There arc only two birds on which
science seems to net with a tare-up and
vicious back kick.
One is tho weather man.
The other is Father Grandoldope.
Neither cer scored much in the box

Particularly the dope. This has been
taken by the back of the. neck and
shaken from stem to stern, till It would
seem as if the old boy would bow him
self to a rear scat.
Now for the figures in golf, for in

with all scientific precaution at Oak

Chifk Kvans and Francis Ouimet, Jerry

such nn edge that it was' a waste of
expense money for the rest to even ,r.-
Did this worlc nut?
It did not.
Had the scientific dope figured 1-c

It did not!'
Ivcry tourney has brought out a new
star. The dope has been badly razzled.
The statisticians In golf, who follow
the play nnd plnco their, confidence in
the figures when they b.uy their chances
in the pools, have lost heayx this year,
particularly at tho national, when tho
dope ran wild and thousands of dollars
were contributed to tho person 'who
bought up Davo Hcrron.
This person didn't think to hare a
chance till things began straightening
out n trifle.
Golf among the pros runs a li(tle'
truer to tho dope.'
But, then, wo look In the eye the
Philadelphia open.
In this classy crew of invaders, who
really figured that the red-topped
Maurie Tallman would enso into the
high money?
After his first-round cardnobody.
But he rattled tho dope in all its bones
by coming in second and gathering al
most as much prizo money as tho wluncr.
WIiul Next?
The question of tbe nfext weekly what
will happen to the Philadelphia contin
gent at Shawnee, nnd tho Lesley team at
the Nationa. Links. In both bouts tho
dope favors us. The Pennsylvania pos
fcibilities, as yet unappolntcd to tho
team, seem to have a decided edge on
both New York and Boston.
How will this pan out?
What team or what individuals will
give Father Dope the old razzlo again?
Philadelphia's chances- nt Shawnee
arc so btrong thnt there seems little like
lihood of their being spoiled except by
Jliss Alexa mining, the present champ,
who is playing better than any of them.

BEN CUBBAGE IN
TRHVIAT STATE
Former Central High Star Is J
Playing Whale of a Game
at Right Tackle ,
CLARENCE BECK ALSO BACK!
State College. Pa.. Sept. '27. The
fight for line posts still continues on
the Penn State squad, and nobody is
assured of his position. Probably one
of the outstanding features of tho play
o the old men baci in college has been
tho showing pilt up by big Hen Cub
bage, the old Centrnl High School foot
bnll jnan. Iten has been playing a
whale of a game nt right tackle.
The Inst time Cubbngo played with a
State team was in 1010. when he
played a line position on Jeff CInrk's
team. He enlisted Iu the Penn State
unit of the I'saacs in 1017 nnd wns
sent to Allentown. On the wonderful
team which the Usaaes had in 101",
Cublingc played one of tho wing posi
tions. Keek In Bacltfleld
The hntnn team also harbored two
other State men nmong its galaxy of
stars from various parts of tho United
Stales. Clarence Deck plnjcd in the.
bnrkficld until nil injury to bis kneo in
eaparitated him, and ut tackle was
"itcd" O'Donnell. The latter has not
returned, but Heck is back nt school
and playing in the bnckfleld in the
same manner that won him a place on
the 101(1 team.
' No definite first team has been
chosen, nnd none will be until Head
Coach Ilezdek makes his nppearance
on New Heaver Field. Ho will not
arrive until the early part of next
week. While tcutntho first and sec
oud teams have been chosen for scriin
mugc practice, no one is nssured of
bis position. Coaches Harlow, Ycrger
and Hcrmnnn have bt-cn shifting the
men around continuously.
McKetuIo Shows Well
Itcd McKenzje, n product of the
Cheltenham High School, is showing
better foria every day. MeKcnzic is a
tall, rangy youth and weighs lSIt
pounds, having an ideal build for a
tackle.
Last year Coach Uezdck used him at
center on the S. A. T. C. eleven all
season; but this fall, with the abun
dance of center mntcrial, Harlow has
been using him at center and tackle.

KRAMER VICTOR OVER
BORRELL AT CAMBRlAi
!
Milwaukee Middleweight Too
Clever for Kensington Boxer
iivRough Match
Joe Borrell is disappointed toda. He
thought the could, but he didn't win
from Billy Kramer, of Milwaukee, nt
the Cambria last night. Borrell tried
hard to show superior form, but tho
good-looking, blonde, rofy-cheeked Beau
Brummcl from tho West was too fast.
His cleverness stood out by far over
tho ruggedncss of Borrell, who appar
ently was slow because of his long lay
off. It was a rough bout, with Kramer
doing most of tho roughing-up of Bor
rfll's features. Bill's left jab was work
ing to a nicety.
Buggy Lee won from Xung Jeffries,
a clown boxer from New York, who
didn't clown so much after the third
round because of tho lacing he was suf
fering. In the other bouts George Ward
bent G"corgo Christian, Tommy Cleary
outfought Tommy Murray, and Charley
O'Neil stopped Knockout Blley in four
rounds.

according to Coach Dr. O'Brien nml
others, interested in the grid pastime
mounu isroau nnd urccn streets. It K
natural for crimson and gold cnthus-'
iasLs to be conlident of their eleven, for
foofball usually is Central's biggest
athletic forte.
A squad of about fifty husky, heavy
and big youngsters have been diligently
vicing for the eleven positions under
tho tutclegc of Doctor O'Brien, rn
Houston Field, dully. He hns n mightv

exceptionally heavy line, averaging 178

sell, left end, is the lightest lineman, ,
wciguing jou pounds, while the other
men weigh between 170 nnd 185 pounds.
Doctor O'Brien probably will an

Eddows is captain of the eleven and
this will be his second year ou tho

Wallace, Harris and Bennett. Saund
ers, another veteran, will get into the
lineup probably tho latter part of
October.
Husky Baclifleld
With Wells, ICO pounds ; Harris and
Bennett, each 175 pounds, nnd Kddows,

Championship of the Main Line
and Montgomery County League
to Be Decided
ALL CLUBS ARE CONFIDENT
The baseball championship of Philn
dolphin's two most prominent lenguei
will lie decided this afternoon. They are
the Montgomery couuty nnd Mnin Line
orgnntentions and the fans of four cluhi
nro confident that their favorites will
lop the decision.
The winner of the Montgomery county
gonfalon will be decided between Kon
derton und Ambler nnd the scene of the
combat will b at Norristown, that
ground having been chosen by President
Harold ('. Pike.
1'lny is scheduled to begin nt 4 p. in.
During the season, both contenders won
eighteen and lost sl, but n review of
the games plnjed shows that Souderton
has u big advantage over their rivals,
inasmuch as they hate beaten Ambler
four times or on every occasion in
which they enme together. Two defeats
for Soudriton, one by Norristown, the
tn.""r b3' Diton, tied the race at the
11 H I "It .
The Strawbridge & Clothier grounds
will bo the scene of the third and cun-
hiding clash in tho scries to determine
the Mnin Line League winner. Dobon
won the first clash nnd Lnnsdowne came
back strong last Saturday nnd easily
copped tho verdict. Each club is cou
lident of victory.
Both of the previous games havo re
sulted in shutouts. The Uibson win wns
by the scoro of 2-0 nnd the victory of
LnnsdownewttH achieved by 8-0. It. looks
like another battle between Uube Cham
bers and Bill Grevell.
The Morton, champions of the Dela
ware County League, will close tho sca
Kin this afternoon on tho home grounds
at Morton when they clash with the
Darby Professionals.

Always Star Boxer, Scotch Wop
Has Had Only One Chance
at a Championship
TITLE BOUT WITH LEONARD
By LOUIS II. .TAFFE
Johnny Dundee has been in active
ring service for nimost ten jcars. The
Wop Scotch, with a style all his own, !
busted into the game early in 1010 and
from the outset ho became a sensation.
Ho has thrilled fans everywhere he has
boxed, and there is hnrdly n boxing
center in the United States where the
agile Gotham gloveman has not per
formed. I'or nimost eight years Dundee's am
bitioB has been that of every fist fling
er. that of boxing for n championship.
When Dundee first sprang into the
limeglnrc as n contendr ho wns a feath
erweight. Before ho was able to get
a track at the title Abe Attell had been
eliminated by John Kllbane. Dundee
nnd Kilbano later met iu a twenty
rounder, which was called n draw by
llcferee Charley L'yton.
He Gets Bigger

him ineligible as a lentuerweigni. uwu,
