ATHLETICS CERTAIN
PENNANT WINNERS
Tom Terrell, of Cleveland, Says
They Could Win With Wooden
Arm Pitchers
.Throughout the American League
circuit It is conceded that Connie Mack
la certain to land another pennant.
No regrets are being expressed. While
there are some disappointments, the
one general opinion prevails that the
Athletics are a bunch of real baseball
players. Hero is the way Tom Ter
rell, sporting writer, of Cleveland,
tells about the recent victory of the
Athletics over the Naps:
"When a set of baseball players im
prove upon tho generally accepted
method of playing our national game,
what chance has the opposition for
victory? Echo answers 'None.'
'The Athletics elaborated upon the
style of play exhibited in all other
cities in the country and defeated the
Naps in the second game of the series,
6 to 4.
•' 'They're not human.' That ex
pression from one of the disgruntled
spectators crystallized the opinion of
all of the other spectators, and the
Naps, too.
"The state the bald facts, the Ath
letics clustered hits on 'Rip' Hager
man in the fifth and seventh innings
for five runs, while Bob Shawkey,
aided and abetted by perfect fielding,
refused to let the Naps gather more
than four.
"But Shawkey was merely an inci
dent in the succession of events which
brought victory to Mack's champions
—yes, one might say, a minor inci
dent.
"Who couldn't win a ball game
when Eddie Collins makes three, or
four plays that no other human being
could make, and when Jack Berry
does the same, and Stuffy Mclnnes
the same and Frank Baker the same,
and Jimmy the same?
"Why, if the truth were known, a
wooden-armed pitcher could win
games for that cluster of brilliants.
The Naps at least harbor such an
impression.'
"American League pennant races
would be much more interesting if a
pennant were awarded to the Ath
letics at the start and the other clubs
were then allowed to compete for an
other pennant. There's as much dif
ference between the champions and
most other league clubs as there 1b
between a major and a class A club."
"PET"' YOUNG IS SOLI)
"Pep" Young, of Philadelphia, sec
ond baseman of the Sacramento Coast
League club and former shortstop of
the Harrisburg Tri-State team, was
yesterday sold to the Detroit Ameri
cans for a cash consideration and a
player. He will finish the coast season
with Sacramento. He formerly played
with the Phillies and Highlanders.
Fred McMullen, third baseman of the
Tacoma Northwestern team, was also
sold to the Detroit club.

COCKILL'S CREW
CLEANS UP TIGERS
Move Over Into Reading For Two
Battles and Booster Day;
Home Monday
By "Ump"
George Cockill and his crusaders
moved over Into Reading to-day after
having made a clean-up on the Jersey
shores. The second game was cap
tured from the Tigers yesterday, score
2 to 1. John Fox, who saved the day
for the Ponies on Wednesday, was on
the mound for Harrisburg.
Morgan was the fiinger for the Ben
gals and had a shade the better of the
ironworker. Timely wallops were
mostly responsible for Harrisburg'a
runs. Emerson, Keyes and McCarthy
were the willow wlelders. Costly er
rors also figured In the victory.
For two days Cocklll's crew will
be entertained at Reading. Booster
day was observed to-day and the pro
gram called for a parade and a big
celebration. A second day program
I will be observed to-morrow. Reports
I say a large number of tickets have
| been sold.
A marvelous catch by Foster off
Fox's bat in the ninth was the real
noteworthy feature of the engage- I
ment, although Whalen and Cruik
shank pulled off some plays worthy of
meritorious mention. Fox was invin
cible in the pinches and was backed
up in flawless style.
Neither clan was able to count a
run until the fifth, when the Fi>s
terites got under way for one tally.
Williams, first hand up In this round,
clouted out a single and moved, down
to second when Morgan came across
with a neat sacrifice. Poland drove
out a scorching one-base blow and
Williams raced over the gum on the
crash. Harrisburg evened up the score
In the sixth.
With one out Keyes doubled and
took third on Hammond's error of
Crist's grounder and scored on a wild
pitch. Harrisburg sent over the win
ning run in the ninth. Miller was safe
on an error by Hammond, took sec
ond when McCarthy drew a pass and
scored on a single by Emerson. The

Man Who Relieved
Farmer of SIO,OOO
Is Held For Court
Philadelphia, Aug. 14. Charged
with conspiracy and the larceny of
SIO,OOO from Justin E. Hess, a wealthy
farmer of Stewartstown, Pa., on May
25, by inducing him to bet on a sup
posed horse race. Charles Caffarella,
of 519 West One Hundred and forty
eighth street. New York city, was ar.
rested and held in $3,000 bail for court
yesterday by Magistrate Pennock in
the central station.
Caffarella. It Is said, is a chauffeur
for Albert Carter, alias "C'urley" Car
ter, who is under arrest in New York
charged with being one of the ring
leaders of the gang of "confidence
man" which duped the farmer while
on a visit to Philadelphia.
A spurious "wire-tapping" scheme,
by which the confidence agents said
they had personal "tips" which horse
would win the "race," was discovered
in a poolroom in the central section of
the city. Hess believed the smooth
tongued strangers and as a result lost
his money.
Caffarella denied emphatically at
the trial that he had anything to do
with the real swindling. He declared
he was merely a witness. The police
declare that the gang of confidence
men is well organized and that they
had V leave Florida for this city be

their trail.
