Boston 84 59 .58741 Chicago 83 63 .56949 DetroiL 83 64 .56463 Will the greatest freak in baseball's entire history—the winning of both major league pennants on tho last day of the season—bo repeated? Only once in the history of the game have the two major league races been so close so late in the season. Several times one of the races has been so close that the winner was not deter mined until tho last few days of the season, but only in 1908 were tho lead ing teams of both leagues so closely bunched at this lime. Last Da.v Decision In 1908 the American League race was not decided until tho last day, while in the National it was necessary to play off a tie game to decide the winner. Conditions are almost identical with those of 190 8, excepting that the East is monopolizing the leading positions in the National League to-day whereas the West had the American League race all to itself in 1908. Mcrkle's fail ure to touch second when Bridwell singled, scoring McCormick with the winning run of the third game of the last, series between the Giants and the Cubs, cost New York the pennant in 1908, as the Cubs and Giants were deadlocked at the end of the regulation season. The board of directors of the league ordered the disputed game, which never had been finished—the teams being tied when the crowd rushed upon the field—played over and the Cubs won from the peerless Mathewson.

With three weeks of preliminary practice completed, the make-up of the first and second varsity training tables announc ed, and the first game of the season played, Penn State's rootball eleven lias fairly started its campaign for the 1916 drive. The three scrimmages held this week to perfect the offense for the Sus quehanna contest uncovered weak nesses in the center of the line that can be remedied only by a lot of Har low's coaching of the tackles and guards. Freshmen Material With the opening of college this week, the attention of State's football followers was diverted from tho var sity eleven long enough to look over tho forty freshmen candidates upon whom the Blue and White is dependent for her first string material during the coming years. "Dutch" Hermann, Penn State's quarterback of 1911 is coach ing the new men. Some of the young stars looking for athletic fame at Penn State are: Backs Stout, of Altoona High school; Barrott, of Stroudsburg Nor mal; Griffith, of Bloomsburg Normal; Wolf, of McKeesport High school; Anderson, of Ben Avon High school; Ullery, of Juniata Preparatory school; , Harris, of Bradford High school; Emory of Peabody High school, Pittsburgh, and McClellan, of BelJefonta High school.

PIH GRIDDERS BACK FROM CAMP Coach Glenn Warner Is Certain of Another Strong Team; Last Season's Stars Back Pittsburgh, Pa.. Sept. 22. The preliminary training season for the University of Pittsburgh gridiron con tingent, which began on September 6, was brought to a close to-day, when camp was broken and the players left for Pittsburgh, in order to bo settled in their permanent quarters by the tlmo recitations begin, Monday next. The almost ideal conditions sur rounding the mountain camp and the cool, bracing weather which has been encountered during much of the period has assisted Coach Warner in bringing his men to the exact point of condi tioning desired, and the squad is now in excellent shape for the hardest sort of work. During the two weeks remaining be fore the opening of the season, on Oc tober 7th, practice will be continued at Trees Stadium and at Forbes Field. I.ast Senson'* Stnr.i Developments during the first two weeks of varsity practice Indicate that the Panther line-up will include as first string men at least seven or eight of the stars of last year's eleven, the 'gaps caused by graduation and ineligi bility being filled by second string players of the 1915 organization. The team will probably carry about as much weisht as last year's, and l it is not be lieved that there will be any falling off in speed. Those who have watched Warner's men In the early season scrimmages are confident that the great coach will present a machine the equal of the 1915 champions. Players who are showing exceptional form are Tbornhlll, the crack tackle, Herron and Carlson, ends, and McLaren, who is playing a great game at fullback. Sles, one of the biggest men on the squad, is being used at quarter, and has a strong asset in his punting. If successful in winning the assignment, he will be perhaps the largest quarter back in the country. Baseball Grenades For U. S. Army Most Deadly Washington, D. C., Sept. 22. Within a short time the United States army will have what is llKeiy to be tho most deadly hand grenade of any of the armies of the world, for use in j trench and other close fighting. It Is a wonderful instrument of warfare. Invented by an American army officer on duty at the. War Department. It is of the shape and size of the ordin ary big league baseball. It is thrown exactly as a baseball Is thrown and can therefore be "placed with deadly accuracy." ; The most marvelous feature about j the new grenade la that it can be j handled with complete safety when [ not intended to deal destruction to I the enemy. Unlike the hand grenades ! now in use in Europe, it will not ex | plode if dropped. The flight twist given the ball in throwing causes a i little instrument to set the plunger in jthe grenade BO that it explodes when It reaches its destination. All-Scholastic Leader For Penbrook Team Samuel Mcllhenny is this year the captain of Penbrook All-Scholastics. He has been out every evening with a squad of promising players, and knows how to handle young Athletes. He will have a strong team back of him this season.
