BASEBALL AND SPORTS OF" INTEREST TO EVERYONE
IK FUG Sll;
BOSTON BKSSIFE
With Eight More Games to Play;
Results of Saturday and
Yesterday Factors
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Sept. 28. 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.

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
