Winning from St. Louis with a shutout victory gave Connie Mack this year's cham pionship. While it is possible for the Athletics to lose, it is not probable. Only a miracle can prevent the Quakers from landing their sixth pen nant. Boston worked into a safe lead lor the National League pennant during the past week, and nothing but a base ball miracle can beat the Braves out of the flag. Sweeping through the six-day period with a record ol eight victories and only one defeat, Stalltng's men established a margin ol eight and a half games over the tobogganing New Yorks, who were swamped by Chicago and St. Louis in the series at the Polo Grounds, dropping live straight games before they finally managed to pull out a victory. The Jliravps have 11 more games to play and need only to win three more to clinch the championship, even should the Giants win all their remaining 11 games. Eight More Games to Play The Jlackmen and Red Sox still have eight games to play. Should the jMackmen tose every one and Boston win all, the Athletics would be lead ing by 4 points, the standing being 95 games won, 57 lost, percentage .625, while Boston's record would be 95 games won, 58 lost, percentage, .621. The Athletics and Boston have a tie game to play off, but as these two teams are not scheduled to meet again this season there will be no chance to play it off unless the Amer ican League officials order it. Thjs could only happen if the result of the game would decide the pennant win ner, hut as the Athletics need only to win one game more, there is no use figuring out what action the Amer ican League might take in such an event. While it has been announced by both Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, and Ban Johnson, president of the American League, that the series for the world's championship will start on October 9, the dates will not lie of fically announced until Wednesday of this week, when the commission will meet in this city. At this meeting the dates, the arrangemens for play ing the series of seven games and the manner of disposing of the tickets will be decided upon. The toss of a coin will decide where the first game will be played, and it means much to the club rep resented by the lucky guesser, for the first two games of the series will very likely be played on the same grounds. If the Athletics win the toss, the series will open at Shlbe Park and two games will be played there before the teams move to Boston, and if the Braves win the toss the Mackmen will go to Fenway Pafk, Boston, to open the battle. The playing of two games will give the teams a chance to leave Saturday night and rest all day Sunday before starting the third game, which is about the best arrangement that can be made. PENBROOK A.

Football Games Ordinary; Green Men Were Too Slow Central High Has Easy Time With Elizabethville Eleven; Tech Wins First Game on Pottsville Gridiron By "limp" ' IJ Football on Saturday was just or dinary. While there were some sur- < prises nothing happened to warrant < special reference, or to indicate what ] is likely to happen later on. Green men made many of the contests one |!jfded. Scholastic Karnes showed strong . spirit. Many new aspirants are out < for gridiron honors. The best that Ponn could do was l fourteen points against Gettysburg, j Remembering that Penn last season made 53 points in the game with the ! battlefield stars, there must be some- ( thing wrong at the University of l Pennsylvania. Harvard showed a lit tle better with Bates. Princeton and i Rutgers had a game almost similar j' to that of last season. One big sur prise was Pittsburgh's triumph over Cornell. The Indians nearly lost to West Virginia. Lust season they had a walkover. Central Has Walkover Central high showed a very promis ing team at Island Park in the game with Elizabethville high, winning by a score of 81 to 0. Kote who helped in most victories for Central last sea son was the big star in Saturday's contest. Bingham, Ryers. the Froe lleh hoys, Hilton and Smeltzer were other stars. The Central team has weight and plays a fast game. Elizabethville was outclassed but offered a plucky line-up. The boys deserve much credit. They were still fighting hard at the finish, notwith standing the onesided score. Gallagh er, Martin, Kiefer, Uhler, Lentz, Zieg lar, Lehman, lloke and Weaver put up a good tight. Elizabethville showed lack of proper coaching, for there is material in the line-up. TeHi Wins, Too Tech high opened at Pottsville on Saturday, defeating the Pottsville high, score 19 to 0. Beck was the lo cal star. Emanuel played his usual snappy game. New men were In evi-1 dence, too, hut they need more prac- ] tice. Tech offers a strong team this year, as a number of last season's players are still in the game. Potts ville got into the game strong In the second half, but could not score. Much encouragement came with the work of Tech on Saturday. The line ups and summaries: At Harrisburg— Harrißburg Elizabethville. Houtz, 1. e. Gallagher, 1. e. Byers, 1. t. Swab, 1. t.
