CHICAGO HAS WON BUT TWO GAMES
IN CLEVELAND THIS YEAR; FIGGER
EXPERT BOOSTS INDIANS' CHANCES
MX IFR In the American League lta
JL Fcrlr after another," remarked
f'morhltii: vlnn he returned after a long absence. Ihc
-famous tlgger filbert had been lingering the chances of the
Yankee". ngnln"t the Brookljn club in the next world
eerlcs, but gave It up a- a bud job when the White. Sot
Med the New Yorkers to the American League toboggan
,jnml f-howed them how to um! it. That put our expert out
of tune, but not for long.
"Yc," he continued, "thoc crucial series are getting
quite common, but they can't be overlooked. Prexample,
toko the t S. wliidi opens iu Cleveland tomorrow, when
the White Sox -tart a thice-ganie set. Can you think of
I anything more exciting than that? Three games jut
' 'three, mark you but more Important ones cannot bo
found In any league.
"Today. Cleveland is leading the league with 01 vic
tories and fl'J defeats. Chicago is trailing with 111 and 53.
i By close fljtgeriug you will dirocr that the Indians oro
one and one half games ahead of the Sox and will main
tain that lead today bitau-e neither club Is playing. But
tomorrow it will be .-omethlug eNc again.
-"If Cleveland takes two out of three, Chicago will be
two and one -half games behind. If the White Sox take
two out of three the Indians will emerge with a lead of
one-half a game. If the (!leasonlten make n clean sweep
of the series they will hold an advantage of one and one-
e.hnlf games. Then-tore, Cleveland will have to win one
"'to keep the U-ud and two to be iu a nice position to win
the pinnaut.
"When this ".cries is over the Soi will have played
1 1411 games, w ith six more to go. Cleveland's total will be
14G, with nine to go. The Yankees alreudy have played
147 games, and after a couple of exhibitions will return
to New York to play a series with Washington, beginning
Thursday. Then three games will be played with the
" Athletics and the Yauke will end their fccason right here
on Wednesday, September 'Ji.
r tttpjli; pennant fight now it between Chicago and
i Cleveland because they play more gamci than
A'cic Yorfc. Cleveland has the better chance because
c the last nine games arc played against St. Louis
and Ditioit.
Cleveland Has Edge in Figgers
"TJl'T." resumed I'rnie, ns he produced a bundle of
-Dclo.-ely typewritten pages, "jou cau do nothing with
out tiggers, nnd here they are.
"Chicago has len in Cleveland before, and how many
fames do jou suppose they won? l'xnctly two. Nino
were plajed, and that means the Indians were victorious
lieven tiinis. Chicago's first triumph came on April 21,
when I.eftv Williams pitejied a 0 to 1 game. One month
later, which is a way of sajing May 111, Jim llugby
went cookiMi in the ninth, bunded out four passes in a
row and furred in three runs. Therefore the Sox copped
by the score of S to 7.
"That gives the 'Indians the edge, for two reasons.
First, they have won the majority of games played on the
home lot. and -econil, the Sox cau't win in Cleveland
except on the LIUli day of the month. They are at n dis
advantage bei-nu-c this series will be plajed on the -Mth,
:ath and JCth.
"Now, on the other band, take the games played iu
the Windy City. Cleveland made a swell start, taking
four of the first five, but flopped on the next pair of visits.
The Sox took two out of three in the second series and
, all three games in the third.
"Figgering the totals, one will find that nineteen
games have bceo played, nnd Cleveland copped eleven.
Not mi bad NOT so bad. The worst they can do is split
even u ili'- i net nf tcnty-tuo games, but there's no
""" chance

Charley Dooin Boosts Ivy Olson
BROOKLYN needs but three more games to be eligible
for the world series, and will attempt to win
one-third of them today from the Boston club. New
York and Chicago will start an interesting series and the
I'hils nnd St. Looic will put on another act. Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh are idle.
Everybody is digging up the dope on the Dodgers these
days. The majority of critics place the blame of winning
the pennant on the pitching staff, but a few and only
a few have, discovered another reason. It is Ivy Olson,
the Rhortstop.
Charley Dooin is one of the minority. The sorrel
topped thrush, by the way. is in the real estate business
in Atlantic City, which gives him an opportunity to talk
baseball with Dan McLaughlin nt the Traymorc. We
stumbled into one of thojc conversations the other day.
"The brains of the Brooklyn club," Dooin was say
ing, "is or nrc none other than Ivy Olson, the shortstop.
He thinks for the entire team and seldom makes n bad
guess. Because he is a quiet, steady player, with nothing
flashy about bis work, he never has been given' the credit
be deserves, but you can't hide talent like that very long.
Olson is stepping into the spotlight and soon everybody
will agree he is a star.
"W;'V IC0 W,h i,'c.ai',"t) I Scd .Vo
ir Oraw to take him tehen he iras turned loose
hy Cincinnati, but Mae couldn't sre him. He would
have been a great player for Xcf York."
Penn Working Hard for Delaware
THE University of Pennsylvania will ploy the opening
chorus on Franklin Field Saturday afternoon with
Delaware, the party of the second part. Coach Heisman
has been working his men hard all week getting them in
shape for the 11)20 debut. A forty-minute scrimmage
was held yesterday and the Hcismnn glide was working
smoothly.
Pos Miller, Ilex Wray, Joe Straus and John White
hill probably will start in the backlield, and the others
are Captain Hopper and Wallace, ends; Thurman nnd
Ward, tackles; Lenbam and Copcluml, guards, and
Crawford, center. Wallace's work in the last few- days
has made him a leading candidate for the other end.
Here Is the Real Dope
AKTKIt studying the situation carefully, we find eleven
reasons why the Phils nnd the A's are not winning.
The first is they arc not scoring enough runs. Never mind
the other ten.

GOLF POLICIES MAY DEVELOP
AS LAST WORD IN INSURANCE
Risk Writers Battle in Annual Links Tussle and Consider Many
Thoughts of Entrants and I'oncotnbatants.
Qualifying for National
By SANDY
"DARDON
me,
slowly queried n
golfer, an he
wcary-lookinK
leaned heat Uy on n cracked driver," but
are yon an insurance man?"
Mllo Xealy looked up from his work
on the first tee nt Overbrook, busy
checking off the stnrters in the tourney
of the Insurnnce Golf Association of
Philadelphia there ycBieraay.
"I nm."
"Well," continued his dishevelled
questioner, "you inquire lives. You In
sure against fire, accident, inett, nnd
Ions on land and sea. What I want u
know is will you insure me against lost
golf balls?"
"Hm." parried Xealy. "Er hum."
Another golfing bystander pricked up
his ears, scratched his head, and ensod
himself over to Starter Xealv's table.
"Count me In too," ho suid, "if you
can insure me on nn improvement In
my game."
"What scores do you make?"
"About 150 if I'm lucky."
"Ought to be possible," mused Xealy,
I 6troking his chin.
Slornl Dignity
"Say," demanded a third, "couldn't
yon Insure my moral dignity against
this bird," pointing to a person evi
dently nn opponent, "when he getR in
a hazard? O, what words! And on the
level, my life is endangered by the rocks
nnd divots he swatH out of there.
What would you call a policy like
that?"
i "ell, it might come under explo-
sions, responded euly, or riots nnn
' !..:i !,... I'll .... ..u
I IVIl llllllI'llUII, I 11 Pll," U11I. I IMU
do."
Still another golfer paused after
driving off, and came back.
"Just n word," he stated. "If you
do get out golf policies, don't tail to
put In a clause about three or six putts
on a green. That's me."
Then they left. The insurance men
are now pondering.
The entrance in the tourney jester
day hud the right idea on the first hole,
onlv worked it little too hard:
the shot oft the tirst tee calls for a
i Mice, und man, how they did Mice!
Some of them had it down to such n
tine art that the. ball almost came right
on back to the tee. Those thnt didn't
spent the night mostly in the rouuh,
dewy gni.s.s, out of bounds, and ore
there still very likely.
Some of the ployers were visibly
embarrassed by the necessity of driving
a "fair ball" off the first tee, what
with all the officials and everybody
standlns around. Hut nfter thnt or
deal was over "old rules" were mostly
in vogue on other outof-boiinds shots.
"Old Itulc"
This rule is that you just drop n

New National Idea.
Commentaries on the holding of the
national championship over a course
like the Tngiuccrs, with the attendant
results, continue in unabated stream.
Many experts find no fault in the
course inasmuch as thrc of the best
amateurs in the country survived to the
semifinals. Hobby Jones. Chirk Kvans
and Frnncis Ouimet, n fnct which, In
our estimation, is pnrtly, If not mostly,
due to the luck of the draw.
Walter Travis, the only American
who ever won the British championship,
has a lot of interesting things to say.
"When one finds a small army of
potential winners excluded," says
Travis, "there is a screw loose some
where. Most of it is traceable to the
fluklness, the trlcklness, of several of
the holes of the Engineers' course, no
tably the eighth, tenth and fourteenth
all single shottcrs.
"The margin for error on these is
altogether too narrow. Golf, nfter all,
Is a recreation, a fundamental fnct
which should not be lost sight of."
Travis says he saw a good deal of the
play last year for the professional
championship, uud of fourteen proH he
watched play the fourteenth only two
found the green, though virtually every
shot was flawless.
Two Seasons Ahead
Travis has several suggestions to
make. The first is that, granting the
desirnbllity of playing the qualifying
round on two neighboring courses, these
courses should he selected at least two
seasons ahead. o ns to admit of their
being in prime shnpe in every respect.
Second, thnt the number of qualifiers
should be inerensed from thirty-two to
sixty-four, and playing the first two
rounds of match play, at eighteen holes,
over the two courses, nnd thereafter nt
thirty-six holes over the championship
course.

'DECISIONS IN OLYMPIC
BOUTS WERE TERRIBLE'
Coach of American Boxing
Team Says Judges Knew
Little of Gamelmd Ver
dicts Were Awful
PANS COMMITTEE, TOO
By LOUIS II. JAFFE
TECISIONS rendered by JudKes In
the Olympic boxInR matches at
Antwerp were so poor, in the opinion of
Spike Webb, coach of the American
team and Instructor nt the United
States Narnl Academy, that he was
unable to find words of description.
"I could gay that their verdicts were
terrible, awful nnd rotten but that
doesn't give vent to half my feeling,"
Is the way Webb explained himself to
day. He was In Philadelphia today to
visit Ed Earl Hartman, local entry In
the bantam clasi, 'on his way from his
home In Baltimore to seo the New York
boxers who competed In the Interna
tional meet.
"If we had been given fair brenk
In the decisions during the preliminary
bouts I am quite sure that America
would have had at least fourteen men
to compete In the finals," continued
Webb, "but, as It was, only threo
Americans got into the deciding bouts,
and each succeeded in winning a
world's title. They nro Eddie Egnn,
Talc heavyweight: Frank De Gennaro,
New York flyweight, and Sammy Mos
berg. New York lightweight.
"All of which may give an Idea how
the United States boxers outclassed
thoso representing the other countries
when It is considered that I had twenty-two
men In all on my team. The
Americans wcro entirely too good for
the other entries and proved this In
nlmost every bout, despite the fact that
they lost a lot of enthusiasm and con
fidence on account of the terrible hoot
ing nnd razzing by spectators of other
nations, which greeted them when they
entered the ring. Just ns soon an a
boxer with the American shield on his
jersey made an appearance in one of
the corners It was a blgnnl for uncalled-for
hooting, and I cunnot under
stand yet why wo were treated no.'
Judges Lacked Experlcnco
Tho boxing judges, who had been
appointed by the Boxing Federation of
France, almost to a man admitted their
lack of experience In taking on o
great a responsibility as the rendering
of decisions In the bouts. Webb says,
or else the judge was a coach for one
of the tennis of another country. A
Norwegian, elected to Judgo the bouts,
told Webb that he never bad seen a
professional boxing match, explaining,
however, that he had done a lot of
rending nbout the art of fisticuffs.
One of the ronkest of decisions, to
which Webb called especial attention,
was that of tho bout in which Hart
man, tho rhiladelphian, met Walker,
wearing the colors of South Africa, and
who eventually was declared world's
rhnmplon. Hartman knocked down
Walker three different and distinct
times, Webb says, nnd ench time the
South African was floored the Ameri
can was booed, hooted nnd panned. To
tho surprise of tho Americans and Hart
man mpiit of nil. Walker was given the
decision'. In explanation of this ver
dict, the other day Hartman f.ald:
"When the final bell sounded Walker
was glad the bout was over, and told
me. 'I tried hard, Hartman ; but you
won.' "
Webb explained thnt he became so
exnsperated at tiomc of the decisions of
the judges that he rnised a number of
dicputes, taking his arguments up with
the men In chnrgc of the boxing events,
but the only vutlsfactlon he got was
