THE CLOSE OF THE BASEBALL SEASON WILL FIND OUR A'S AND PHILLIES THEREAT THE FINISH w m a $.. t m ? zWEST VIRGINIA'S FOOTBALL TEAM HAS HUGE CONTRACT THIS SEASON, BUT FEELS EQUAL TO THE TASK fL T TtniEN a football tcnin decliles to become iraportnnt nud 'v VY breaks nwny from the Mnnlt-tinio otuff, that foot ball tonm Rots Its name in the inior. For that reason or those reasons, the University of West Virginia Is the nubjeet for discussion today. The University of West Virginia is located in Mor- jrantown, u city situated somewhere to the south of Pittsburgh. Tor many years they have been nlnlng ' football, but the oeial standingof the team was equal to 1 ' that of the baseball nine in Oshkosh, Wis. Last year tho Mountaineers, whlrh is their nickname because of v tho topographical condition of the surrounding country. r journeyed to I'rlnceton. X. .1.. and sock"d the daylights out of a gridiron aggregation representing tuui pim-r. That made a big hit, and West Virginia became talked ahntlt. Now we have another season, and tho Mountaineers re very much in the limelight. They arc meeting all ' comers,' regardless of weight or age. First come, first served, was tho original line they sprung when making out the lOHO schedule and oh, what a schedule it is! If you can imngine l'ete Herman challenging .lock Dempsey. winner take all utul no hospital expenses, or Ira dowry's Retain ood stars daring the world serirs winner to play a ball bame. you will have an idea of tho gigantic . task confronting the athletes from Morgautown, W. Va. To get terribly newsy and hand out some real, regu- ' lar dope, we will go over the list of games for thin year. Next Saturday West Virginia Wwdejmi will assist in - opening the season. This tiectl to bo tiual game, but not 1 any more. After that comes I.ehigh. and the next week Pittsburgh will be played on Forbes Field. Those threo games arc enough for any small college, but not West g- Virginia. Anyway, the boys from tho mountains deny Z emphatically that they are small. ,f" After the Pitt battle George Washington University will entertain. This will be a sort of a rehearsal, because, on the following Saturday, meauiug October 12), a college I up in Xew England entitled Yale will be given a tryout. Then comes Princeton. Washington and Lee, Rutgers and Washington and Jefferson. rAKlXCf it all in all. West Virginia plays only einht hard games this year, and Ira Rogers is not in the line-up. Some job without Rogers. He teas the best team the Mountaineers ever had. Green but Husky WEST VIIMJIXIA has a comparatively green eleven this fall, but the nthWf-s are built along the generous lines of piano motors. The team will average over ISO pound1-, and they sa theto are many speed merchants in the line -up. There is one young man in the squad who deierves peclal mention. His name is Sctron, and Coach Tubby Mclntyrc baa selected him as one of bis regular guards Hctron tried for the team last year, but couldn't get by because he weighed "67 pounds. Ho began to take vio lent exercise, and now tips tho beam at 210, a mero shadow of his former self. He is said to be a fast, ag gressive player and probably will be 11 star. Another person worthy of mention is Reck, the great all-around athlete from Harrfcburg Tech. Last year it was all set for Reck to go to Pittsburgh. T.nter n report vras circulated that he was thinking of entering Lafayette, and while those interestiil wore waiting to see which col lege would claim him a its own, he bewildered the on lookers by going to West Virginia. Reck is a halfback und without doubt the very best SPECIAL TRAINS TO HANDLE THRONGS AT MERION GOLF Preparations All Made for Convenience of Fans at Exhibition' Match This Week Both National Finalists Will Play Here Trade Tourneys Ry SANDY TXDICATIOXS arc that one of the biggest throngs that ever witnessed a golf match in the city will be pres ent at Morion Thursday of this week to sec Chick Evans, amateur champion, in links conflict w ith Ted Ray, American open champion. Evans will have M,t Marston as his partner, und Ray will have Harry Var don. Special trains will be run in antici pation of tho crowds. It being announeoj that the Xorristown trnins will stop. The start of the thlrty-six-hole exhibi tion will be nt about 10:ir5 a. m. and the second round about four hours later. Tho tirst too will be roped off but after that tho crowds will be handled behind portable ropes in the hands of expe rienced ooure officials. Hugh Wilson, member of the U. S. G. A. executive committee, will referee the ma'eh The four contestants will be nsl.d to putt out nt every hole. In order that accurate tabs can be kept on the scoring. This is a minor point which makes considerable more interest from a spectator's standpoint. The fans are asked to stand where thev aro at tho sienal of tho offlcla's. an there is nothing more nnnoying to tho players than u moving gallery, or even a movement in the gallery, when a shot is being plned. Megaphones will be provided for the oflicinls but it Is hoped that they w ill be called into a minimum of service. Coign of Vantage, Cries of "fore." "hack on the left." and so forth, reallv belong to an unedu cated past, but, unfortunately, tho in dividuals of u gallery seem possessed with but u single notion, and that is persoually to nempv the best coign of vantaKo. One fan steps out prominently and nlono right in the line or in the wn somehow und nil the rest follow. If each fun will only remember to take It easj , to follow the players, to "get down in front," to keep out of the line, to stand and keep tiiot when a shot is being pluyod. und to be consid erate generally of tho plajers aud the rest of the gallery there, then there will be no necessity for the megaphones nor for delay between shots, unnojing to nil concerned. The othViitls are making every con sideration for tho fans of Philadelphia s lio will want to see the match, which ih for the benefit of tho Rryn Mnwr Hoxpltal. and request tho same consid eration for the plajers and otliciuls by tho gnllery. 'Inis applies nt nil the matches, the first of wlmli will bo Huntingdon Val ley tomorrow, when Rwight Armstrong and .lai k Ilohrnb will oppose Vnrdou and Ray. After Morion, tho Rritons face Wal ter Re nolds and Paul Tcwkbbiiry at Aroniuiink. The Rritons arc showing tho strain of their constant play sinco their ar rival, for they lost flvo matches in as many rutinds over the week -end. Oulmct Here So mauy stars appear on local links this week und next that it makes a most detectable iiud dazzling dish for tliu fans, as they say.

The Mountaineers have been training nt Mountatu Lake Park, Md., and more than fifty candidates wcro on hand. They have been scrimmaging for the last week aud are in good shnpn for the opening chorus next Satur day. This team will bear watching, for It has posslblll-. tics of developing into n strong aggregation. ITTSBVRGU is trainina hard at Wimber, Pa., nnd hopes to get in shape for the opening game on Forbes I'leld on October .0. HVtt Virginia will le the other half of the bill, ami that battle looks like an important one. They're All Bunched in the Homestretch THE thrilling rncc for the championship of the Ameri can League Is getting mort- thrilling. Yesterday nil three contending clubs scored victories, the Yankees cash ing in after eleven innings of turbulent toll. Thus, tho official standing in tho won and lost column Is the same as yesterday. Today Cleveland finishes the set with tho Red Sox, Chicago plays u tinale with tho A's and tho Yanks say farewell to the St. Loole Rrowns. Of the three, Xew York has the toughest assignment. Urban Shocker has been groomed to fling against his for mer teammates, and Urban has been very effective this year. The Yanks can't hit him with a canoe paddle, and you know what cn be done with a paddle. Our A's will try again to smear the White Sox and probably will do tho smearing with reverse English. Gloason's men arc uot In a losing mood these- days. Cleveland has Coveleskic nil set for the conflict with Roston, and tho moist-ball llinger is nbout duo to win. Therefore, tho Indians hae 11 good chance to cop. This pennant derby is closer and more exciting than in years nnd the fans will beuve a high of relief when it's nil over. CIcvelnnd is the sentimental favorite because of the game fight they now nro putting up. With Ray Chap mun In the line-up it would be n cinch, hut his unfor tuuntc death, which was caused by a bean ball thrown by Carl Mays, weakened the club and mndu his teammates tight all the harder. In the Xational League, Hrooklyn wtn an extra-inning McXIRLICK 'in tho Morion "all-star" tourney, I t ednesday and Thursday, next week. I Chick Evans wl'l unfortunately not b able to play and has scat in his regrets. Tho tourney will bo seventy-two I holes of medal play nnd invitations l have been sent to every player in Philadelphia with a handicap rating of eight strokes and less. i Tho invitation would hnve been ex I tended to all, but it was felt that only those of the arbitrary handicap woulil I l.avo a chance in the field expected , and that otl er entrants would un necessarily "clog" the field. Fred Wright, tho sensational twenty-one-year-old Massachusetts champion. wno lieu tor tne national medal with Robby Jones, has sent an acceptance, and V. C. Xowton, captain of the Pay State Lesley Cup team, who won the Lynnewood Hall cup last year, will play. Also Rodney Hrown, Larry Paton, and many other hcadllncn of the Roston district. Travers Too Reggie Lewis, who lost that memor nb'o forty-ouo-hole decision to Evans at Rosyln. will appear with Jerome I). Trnvers. fnnr.tinii nntlnnnt Klmmnlni, .Gardiner 'White, nnd other Gotham I golfers have accepted with other stars i from the metropolitan district. Dave Herron, W. C. Fownes. Jr., J. W. Piatt. Max Marston, George Hoffner, Dwight Armstrong. Eddie Driggs, and other Keystone State I entries in plenty will play. Following this ultra-sizzling medal play, the locals wl'l be treated Triday I and Saturday next week to the same stars In match play for tho Lesley Cup, i now held by Pennsylvania. It s a great prospect for the eager enthusiasts. A local golfer was so Impressed with the "landscape cardenlng' of Mr. John Roe, Stenton, during a recent golf match that he was driven to limericks nnd pons the following lines which he respectfully dedicates to his opponent: heard a golf "vet" in a bunker. His tcords xeere too bad for a Junker With niblio he toiled, the landscape ha spoiled With his terrible tcords from thai bunker. To add to tho general golf excite ment this week iheio will ho a couple of trude tournaments today. The unnual tourney of the Paper Trade Association will be played at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. It wns won last year by George Hoffner, who had n remarkable run of low scoring. Hoffner however, will not play today as he feels that ho is over-golfed. He didu't plnr at Whitcmarsh nor will he play In the St. Martins cup tourney, which starts Thursday at the Cricket Club. Hoffner's next btart will be in the Merlon all-star tourney. Insurance Ruslneas The other trade tourney today is at Overbrook when the insurance men conflict. Maurice Rlsley, who qualified In the national and won the Shawnee and At lantic City tourneys this year, will be tho headllner entry, with E. C. Clarey, winner at Old York road and Lu Lu this year. Georgo Brooks. Tina Valley. and L. II. Addis, Jr.. Huntingdon Valley, are a couple of other local stars who will compete. There arsflfty-odd entries in. an, ' name irom i-iiisnurgn nun virtually cinched the pennant. They are virtually cluching the (lag every day. but this makes it a littlo stronger. Xew York and Cincinnati split a double bill for some reason or other. 'THE local situation remains the same, only the 1 Phils ccre put to more trouble than the A's in hung. It took them ten innings to lose a three-run lead and the ball game. Our entries arc fighting hard to hold eighth place ih their leagues, and their efforts are getting results. This Is So Sudden! rpHE gambling scnndal Is about to be aired in Chicago, -L nnd a lot of baseball men have been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury.

Dodgers Need Three Games to Clinch Flag As a result of their vlqtory over tho Pirates yesterday, while the Giants and Reds wero breaking even in n doublehcadcr, tho Dodgers now have to win only threo of their seven remaining games to clinch the pennant. If tho Hrooklynites win theso three, ono must bo from tho New Yorkers, ns they still have five games to play with the Giants. In that event the Dodgers would have ninety-one games won and sixty-three lost, for a percentage of .001. It would then bo impossible for the Giants to better theso figures even it they won nino of their ten remaining games, as this would give them ninety games won nnd sixty fourt lost, for n final percentage of ..181. Tho Reds, to beat out tho Dodgers, must win all of remaining thirteen gnmes.

PHILA, SHOULD STAGE "ITTHAT makes a national tennis ' championship n real success? The players? Yes, naturally class will tell and tho best aro not any too good, but it is for more than this. It is man agement of details, good courts and plenty of them, keen umpiring, adequate facilities for tho public to Ticw tho play and above all lockcr-housc facili ties for tho players comfort. Wcstsltlo Club, Forest Hills, has held the national championship for five jenrs. During that period tliey navo Ket a standard for efficient manage ment nnd good courts thcro that has surpassed Newport in its palmiest days. No one could Svcll qulbblo with the manner in which New York has staged tho bluo ribbon event of American tennis. Durine the five rears fully 150.000 people have viewed tho champioushlp and all aro loud in their praise of Westsldo Club and its officials. New York nnd its public aro highly educated tennis fans. It is up to the association to educate the rest of the country in n like manner. Tho national championship is the biggest' educational ion utre in tno game nnu win uraw mo public in paying proportions no matter In what city it is staged. Personally. I am n strong advocate of rotating tho national championship. Not that I would detract from the wonderful work done by Westsldo. Far from it. I havo enjoyed tho years I have played there nnd have nothing but tho greatest admiration for all the men in chnrgc of the tournament and its many phases. I do think tho re mainder ot tho country should i-cc the greatest of all battles on the court. Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia nnd even San Francisco deserve the na tional chnmpionbhip. San Francisco has sent us many of the greatest stars of tho game. The only reason tho na tional could not go thero is the fact they havp not grass courts to stage it. Bring Championship Here Philadelphia hits the facilities, the tennis public und the ability to hold the national championship, and thi logical first stop in the rotation would bo to bring it hero in, 1021. Germantown Cricket Club has at its disposal equipment to make it the finest tennis club in America. Merlon and Philadelphia Cricket Club are In al most as strategic a position. German town could placo on its cricket field a rhampionship inclosure of four courts, with a seating capacity of 10.000. nnd around tho outside of this stadium eight een of tho finest grnwi courts In the world. This is in addition to its regu lar grass-court equipment of some twenty courts ou which it could hold the auxiliary events, the junior, boys , veterans' nnd father nnd son champion ships. West Side Club does the work well on twenty -.three courts. Why should not Germantown do it equally well. If not better, on forty-two? Tho locker-roora facilities, tho beau tiful clubhouse, the magnificent swim ming pool nnd the dormitory form an equipment that far surpasses Forest Hills. Visiting players could llvo ut the'elub and thus save them much need less exertion. Tile case of management was cleurlv demonstrated by tho ex cellent work at the East-West matches, while tho public's support could not bo questioned after tho enormous crowds present at that timo Leaders Favor Germantown I nm dealing with Germantown In this urlicle because Philadelphia tcnniH leaders unanimously ngrecd to aid this club in obtaining tno title should they request it.
