10 SPORTS-CINCINNATI REDS HERE TODAY-INDIANS START FINAL HOME SERIES THORPE 11 GAME Willi HIS BIG STICK Pots Crimp in Phillies' Champion ship Stride; Harrisburg Did Not Want Him Jim Thorpe is again with the New York Giants. He is likely to stay with McGraw until the close of the season. Yesterday Thorpe was sent in as a pinch hitter against the Phillies and won the same for "Mugsy." When Thorpe was canned by Har risburg last Saturday a general opin ion prevailed that McGraw had found an excuse to get rid of his contract with the former Olympic champion. Thorpe was let loose from Harris burg on orders from the big boss, Edward G. Barrow, president of the International League. The real reason for sending him back to McGraw was not given. Baseball gossip said Thorpe was not hitting, that his throwing arm was going bad, and that he was an expensive luxury for .the local team. Here are a few dispatch stories about his work yesterday, printed in to-day's Philadelphia pa pers: Thorpe Is Big Factor Record: "The remarkable hitting of Jim Thorpe was the big feature of the day, and was the real cause of the downfall of the Phils. The Olpm plc hero came Into the game as a pinch hitter In the third inning and whaled out a double. This prompted McGraw to put htm into the game, and he added two more singles to his record, scored two runs and stole a base." Press: "Because of the activities of this pesky redskin, Jim Thorpe, an athlete of some renown, all Gotham is willing to-night to wager its City Hall that when it comes to baseball John McGraw, alias "Mugsy," is some weis enheimer. They kick Jim Thorpe out of the minors because he can't hit, and he comes right back into the big show anil his bat is the chief factor in the downfall of our pennant pursuers." North American: "They showed the door to Jim Thorpe in the Interna tional League at Harrisburg last Sat urday, but see what he does. He comes back to the Giants, makes three hits and two runs against the Phillies and has a lot to do with beating them." Local Dealers Storing Coal Against Day of Trouble at the Mines With two exceptions, the prices of the various grades of anthracite coal were advanced to the usual winter prices yesterday by local dealers. The ad vances were twenty cents a ton on all grades but hard and medium pea coal, which went up ony ten cents. This in crease brings the prices up to the same as last H'fnter. The rates were reduced fifty cents a ton, April 1, and raised thirty cents on July 1. Pea coal is now being sold at the lowest rate since 1904. Local dealers, following the example of the Pennsylvania Railroad and other large concerns, are stor ing heavy quantities of coal. By many it Is believed that labor trouble at the mines will ensue April 1, when the four years' agree ment between the producers and the United Miners and the Bituminous Mine Association expires. Cardinal Gibbons to Confer With Wilson By Associated Press Washington, D. C„ Sept. 2.—Cardi nal Gibbons had an engagement late to-day with President Wilson. Offi cials said that the cardinal wished to discuss the international situation with the President and this was regarded as particularly significant in view of re cent reports of the pope's plan to bring peace in Europe through co operation with the heads of neutral governments. Success of the negotiations with Germany over submarine warfare, offi cials believe, places the United States in an advantageous position to bring about an agreement between Germany and Great Britain on the Question of maintaining the Freedom of the seas, which ultimately may pave the way to a discussion of peace terms.

The fun was furnished by "Billy" Clymer. The sport Included two sensational ex hibitions by Harrisburg and Toronto. Clymer on the coaching line is a clown. In his nine act feature yes terday the Toronto leader pulled one over on Umpire Carpenter when he made that official reverse his decision.

A 1 Schacht traded willow sticks with Gilbert of the Toronto team. In addition to the "swop" Schacht received the price of an evening meal. When Gilbert came to the plate to use the stick, he had two swings. On the third, the bat hit the ball and broke in half. Gilbert remarked: "I might have known better." Schacht responded, "Learn how to hold a bat and you won't break it." "I lose and you win," shouted Gilbert. The even break with Toronto was the result of Cook's good work in the second game, holding Harrisburg to four hits. Harrisburg played a sen sational fielding game. The Indians won on bunched blngles in the first game. Enzmann was strong In pinches and was hit successively in two in nings. The score: First Game TORONTO A.B. R. H. O. A. E.
