WEST POINT GIVEN PERMISSION TO PLAY FOOTBALL-NEW CUMBERLAND SHOOT UMPIRE IN BAD; STOPS TIE GAME Phills Go Fourteen Innings With Brooklyn; Fast Work Feature Brooklyn, Sept. 5. —Brooklyn aiul Philadelphia battled fourteen innings to a runless tie yesterday, and the game will be replayed in Philadel phia, .as this was the last appearance of Moran's men here this season. Both Pfeffer and Oeschagcr pitched remarkable ball, the former being exceptionally brilliant. He retired (he visitors in order in eleven of the fourteen innings, although in one ot them, the first two men-reached first. Hickman saved the game for Brooklyn in the seventh, when his magnificent throw to tlfe plate re tired Stock, who attempted to score from first on Luderus' double. Fast Double Plays Three fast double plays saved Oeschagcr. In the twelfth Johnston singled with ont out and raced past second on Hickman's long fly to Whittfcd. He failed to touch second on his return and was called out, although Bancroft's relay went into the grandstand. Umpire Rigler de clared him out for running out of the line. The fielding of Myers, Ban croft and Niehoff featured. Pfeffer gave only one base on balls, passing the first man up. Cy Rigler, the umpire, may have had an early date for last night. Maybe not. Anyhow, he ended a great pitchers' battle by calling the game at the end of the fourteenth inning on account of darkness, al though the sun was still shining and there was plenty of light to con tinue for at least three more innings. It not longer. Brooklyn Was Ready The Brooklyn players were already on the field for the fifteenth inning when Rigler unexpectedly turned around and announced that the game was called. Raubert protested against the decision, but Rigler paid little heed to his words. Incidental ly, the game will be played as a part of a double-header In Philadelphia later. , Tt was a great battle, with Pfeffer having the edge on Oeschager as far as hits were concerned. The big Brooklyn pitcher held the slugging Phillies to three singles, and in the last seven innings did not yield a hit. He gave only one hase on balls, ihis to Paskert. the first batter to face him, and struck out nine. Wilkes-Barre Winner in Second Season Series; Take Game From Stars Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Sept. 5. —There "Will be no post-season series in the [ New York State League this season. Wilkes-Barre, victors In the first se ries by a wide margin, trimmed Syra cuse yesterday, 5 to 1, and thereby cinched the second pennant. The season closes next Sunday. Early In the season, when things looked dark and with the Barons away in front, the State League mo guls decided to split the season and award the flrst-half championship to Wilkes-Barre. It was hoped that another team would land the second half and en able the two winners to play a post season series for the championship For a time it looked as if Syracuse might flash through the winner. They battled the Coal Barons neck and neck for a few weeks, but finally the real power of the Wilkes-Barre team asserted itself, and by steady work Manager Calhoun's club drew further and further away from the field, and to-day cinched the cham pionship for the year 1917.

"yporiliihi & X&antlanAJtiice Copyright. 1917, Th Tribune Association (New York Tribune). \ The Irascible fates have never yet pertnitted any ball club to win three world series in a row, and they apparently have no intention of rearranging the ancient schedule this waning season. The classic Cubs of 1906-'lO were unequal to the rugged assignment, and the equally classic Mackmen of 1910-'l4 also crumpled before the three-year-ln-succession job. The Cubs and Mackmen each held their great machines together for five years. Each won four pennants in this five-year period, yet with all their amazing skill and speed and power they were not able to occupy the world series throne room for three years. And then the Red Sox came. They crushed the Phillies four games to one in 1915. In 1916, minus Speaker and with Barry injured, they won a second pennant, and thwarted the depressed Dodgers by the same 4-1 margin. Nineteen hundred and seventeen was then to be the test. The Red Sox had but two old rivals to beat off White Sox and Tigers. They had dispersed both handily for two years whenever the need came to call out the reserves. Three weeks ago, when the White Sox suddenly collapsed and blew a five-game lead within a week, the old story seemed to be under way again. But, as we remarked earlier in this outburst, the fates have never yet permitted any ball club to win three world series championships in a row. In place of sagging and skidding, as they had don.e before In other campaigns, the White Sox rallied and fought their way back to the old margin by September 1. With a star inflelder wounded and out of! harness, the Cook County grenadiers had pilfered some of Boston's stuff, j leaving the Red 6ox a thorny way to the peak, which they had defeiWed I so well through the September campaigns of 1915 and 1916. September's! schedule is all their way,- but White Sox improvement over past years has upset April calculations. It might be just as well if the Red Sox and Giants didn't meet. The left-hander at proper intervals is all very well, but the left-hander in copious qi.antitles is another affair. With the Red Sox an.d Giants tossed together '.nto one arena the atmosphere would be entirely too replete with southpaws .for any use What with Schupp, Benton and Sallee all tangled up with Babe Ruth and Dutch Leonard, not even a war tax measure could shift) the burden.* No wonder Western fans are rooting merrily for the White Sox to oome j safely through. These sightseers of swat have had to travel East for their 1 world series frolic since 1910. Seven years of long and dusty travel has brought on a keen desire to see the West horn in again after the big ' drouth. It has been eight years since a Western American League club | won a flag, and variety is still said to be the sp(c£ of life. Such is the genial dope, with Jackson and Collins batting around .320 or' .840 the White Sox stagger along in the rut. Then, as Joe and Eddie fade well below .300 their begins to make noises like a pennant flap ping in an autumn wind. The Reds are now pointing to the future. Last season they put the league's leading batsman in display. This season they hope to have both the leading batsman and the leading.pitcher in Ed Roush and Fred Toney. By next .season there'll be no prize left except the mere detail of winning their first pennant in forty-one years. The Phillies have discovered a prominent young pitcher in the person of a Mr. Charles Albert Bender, said to be a Chippewa chief. While Mr. Bender is a Carlisle graduate, this is his second season with the Phillies. There is a rumor out that he was given a brief trial by Connie Mack before enlisting under National League colors. McGraw has only had to keep his club on edge for the world series since April 11, or, rather, since September 6 last.

NEW RULES FOR EASTERN LEAGUE Basketball Boosters Hold a . Stormy Session; Plans For Winter Philadelphia, Sept. 5. —Although the Eastern Baseketball League Jam med through several quick changes in rules and held a record meet ing for time for its first fall confab, there was not enough pull together spirit among those present at the an nual meeting last night at the Bing ham House to predict k rosy future for the league. Disputes over the adoption of several of the rules and a treat by the Trenton Club not to start letlt the flavor otr the session anything but satisfactory to those who have the welfare of the league* at hcurt, but the chances are that everything will be serene wheg the league meets again. Two changes which promise to have a radical bearing upon the fu ture of the Eastern League went through with votes of 4 to 2 and It was these changes which were vio lently opposed by the two defeated clubs. The first rule suggested, then passed, was that the league adopt A three professional and two ama teur player rule for each club. Three Professionals In other words each club will con sist of three professional and two amateurs in a game with any num ber of amateurs for the side line. This rule was favored by Jasper, Heading, DeNerl and Camden and voted against by Greystock and Tren ton. Those in favor of the motion stated the reason for the reduction ol professional talent was on ac count of the war and the draft taking some of the players out of the league. With this rule in effect it means that some of those clubs who have all their players in line for the year will have to lose a few to get within the letter of the rule. It was just this which caused Greystock and Trenton to howl. The other rule which also caused dissatisfaction among the same twt> clubs, but which was favored by Jas per, Camden, DeNeri and Reading was that of the man-fouled-is-to shoot the-foul. This rule is followed by other leagues, but never before was recognized by the Eastern. Its adoption practically sounds the death knell to foul shooters. n^aoeJ^ail SCORES OF YESTERDAY National League Boston, 3; New Y#rk, 1. Philadelphia, 0; Brooklyn, 0 (Fourteen innings, darkness)'.

PROMOTER WILL ASK TO HAVE CARL MORRIS BARRED; MANAGER IS MISSING Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. s.—As an aftermath to the Canton fiasco on Labor Day, comes the tale that Matt Hlnkel, promoter of the fifteen round contest between Fred Fulton and Carl' Morris, which was termi nated in the sixth round after Mor ris had hecn repeatedly warned for fouling and butting, will ask the American Boxing Commission, of which he is president, and all clubs allied with it, to bar Morris from all contests in theit*rings. Men who have seen many matches unite in stating with Hinkel that this bout was the foulest ever put on in in America. Any time after the start of the second round Hinkel would have been justified In stopping the fight by disqualifying Morris. Most of the experts present at the Canton ringside have expressed the opinion that Morris was trying to make Fred dog it and when the Min nesota giant stood up and under the repeated fouls and whipped in his Johnson Picking Dates For World's Series Games Chicago, 111., Sept. s.—President B.

Of course. It isn't polite for a league president to express his pen nant collections while two teams are fighting Vor the honor, so Johnson qualified all his statements with numerous lfs, "The for holding the first game is determined by lot," said President Johnson.

Canning Carl Morris, would be an easy punishment for *- tho heavy weight. Giving an exhibition as he did was not worth the money given his manager who got away quickly after he had the cash. It looked like a holdup on the part of Morris and his backers. There are some other yellow streak fighters who would hot be missed from the ring.

Jack Curley, Morris' manager, has been a hard person to locate since the sixth round of the Canton affair, while Fulton has refused to say anything about it. Morris made only one statement in defense of his actions: "I have always had trouble in getting across a right upper cut. I knew that if I could ever get close to Fulton I could beat him at infighting. When I did get in I tried for the upper cut and my head always come up with my arm.
