IN REPLY *•
The melancholy days are near.
As some one's said before,
When there will be no chance to write
About the dally score.
"What will you have to write about?"
The Fan asks, .somewhat solemn?
What will we have to write about?
O, well, about a column.
For sport may come and sport may go,
With ever changing pace.
And yet, somehow, sufficient words
Remain to fill the space,
VIA TIIK DOPE
"What is the use," queries a writer, "in trying to pick out a world
series winner when you know that nearly every series brings about an up
| set?" An upset? Not at all. In 1911 It was generally established that the
hard-hitting Mackmen would beat the Giants. They did—four games to
| two. In 1912 the Giants-Red Sox carnival was regarded as a toss-up. It
was—going to the tenth inning of the eighth game. In 1913 the Mackmen
j_were held to be far superior to the Giants. They were—by four games to
'one. In 1914 tho Mackmen were picked to throttle the Braves. This was
the first and only upset of seven years.. For in 1915 and 1916 the Red Sox
were held to bo superior to the Phillies and the Dodgers.
In 191'6 we recall making a slight wager with Colonel Frank P. Adams
that the Phillies would not win over one game. Which they didn't. So
sinuce 1910 there has been, but one upset. The club which the majority
of critics plcke dto win has won, with the lone 1914 exception. We are
| not counting here the opinions of managers and players, from the rival
! leagues. Naturally they pick their own league to- win—in print. Their
private opinions are often different. SoS far there has been no widespread
verdict rendered on the Giant-White Sox affair. But the dope will be
exploited. Never fear! And it will very likely come bounding safely
through.
AND A FEW OTHERS
Dear sir: I have just read your comment on world series high spots.
I have a few others I would like to add.
One is the great record of Jack Coomb#, the only pitcher in the world
to win all five of his world series starts. Ido not recall any other pitcher
who ever weathered three world series without a defeat.
There was also the sensational work of Walter Moran.ville in the 1914
series. A third great feature was the gre.it world series catching of
Johnny Kling. His work was the headiest I have ever seen back of the
bat in a post-season championship. W. W. D.
THE RECORD BREAKER
A short missed putt brings a ringing curse;
A topped drive's often even worse;
But a fouler thing than a slice or a hook
Is to pop a mashie Into the brook.
Into the mud, and slime, and good
When you dreamed of being dead in two.
"Tris hopes to overtake Ty." Can it be that Tris has equipped himself
with one of these new Liberty motors?
THE NINE-STROKE HANDICAP
"I note," observes a bystander, "that several writers state that Mrs.
Gavin has proved that no male golfer can give a star woman, player nine
strokes and win. Could the best woman golfer that ever lived have stood
up to that Western sweep of Jim Barnes, even with a nine stoke handicap
at match or medal play?"
The answer, In a word, is "No." Barnes played seventy-two holes in n
71 average.
We dont believe there is a woman player in existence who could play
seventy-two holes in an average of nine strorkes higher to the round. If it
has ever been done the rercoril is missing from the archives.
ANSWERING A QUERY
"Can the White Sox trirm the Giants?"
"Can they shatter Perritt's spell?"
"Can they play with greater science ?"
"Can they hit the ball as well?"
We've the ancient answer ready.
Which we happen to remember—
We can tell you more about It
In October —or November.
"What," asks a fanatic, "will Cicotte do with his shine-ball on a cloudy
or misty day?" Who knows but what Eddie has an umbrella-ball all
primed for a weather shift?
WORLD'S SERIES
OPENS IN WEST
Part of Receipts to Go to Sol
diers in France; Select
Umpires
Cincinnati, Sept. 21.—Chicago
will get the first world's series
game. President Charles Comiskey
won the toss. The date fixed is
Saturday October 6. The second
game will be played in the same
city on the following day, Sunday.
October 8 will find the two ball clubs
traveling on their way to New York,
where the third and fourth games
of the series will be played, on Oc
tober 9 and 10. October 11 will see
the players traveling back westward,
and the fifth game, if five are nec
essary, will be played in Chicago.
Then, in case another game is re
quired, a two-day wait will take
place Saturday, October 13. and
Sunday, October 14. being open
and the sixth game will be played
in New York on October 15.
Select Umpires
The commission selected Umpires
O'Loughlin and Evans, of the Amer
ican League, and Umpires Klem and
Rigler, of the National League, to
officiate.
That the soldiers who are now do
ing battle for the country, as well
as those who are preparing to fight
for liberty, were remembered was
indicated by an announcement that
a 1000-word story will be cabled to
France after each game for the
benefit of the soldiers there, while
an exhibition game before the sol
diers at either Fort Sheridan or Min
eoia will be played after the series
is over. In addition to this, a spe
cial invitation to attend all of the
games will be sent President Wilson
and Generals Barry, Carter, Bell and
McCain, while at the opening game
in Chicago 1500 reserved seats have
been set aside for the soldiers at
Fort Sheridan. The commission al
so decided to give 1 per cent, of the
total of the commission's revenue
from the games to the bat and ball
fund of the soldiers in France.
The headquarters of the commis
sion during the New York series will
be at the Waldorf-Astoria and at the
Congress Hotel while the teams are
in Chicago.
Plans were discussed for taking
the two teams to France for a series
of games for the benefit of Ameri.
can soldiers there. President Com.
iskoy asserted it would cost between
$6,000 and $7,000 to make the
journey.

Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 21. The
Philadelphia Athletics of the Amer
ican League will visit Gettysburg on
Monday, October 1, and stage a bat
tle with the team representing the
Seventh Regiment of the United
States Army. The Seventh has one
of the strongest baseball aggrega
tions in the Army. York, the star
pitcher of the Seventh, is now in
Philadelphia on furlough, trying out
with the White Elephant team and

the war is over. The proceeds of

work.
One-Legged Juniper Is
Real Record Breaker
Stockholm, Sept. 21. W. Back
man, a young student from Umea,
did 1.45 meters (a trifle more than
4 feet 9 inches), in the high jump
at a students' meet in Orbyhus. The
performance is a remarkable one in
view of the fact that the jumper
has only one leg, the other having
been taken off at the knee. Backman
plays football well, has won distinc
tion as a swimmer and holds a gold
medal for marksmanship.
Signal Reserve Men
Enjoy Big Banquet
Almost seventy-five members of the
Signal Reserve Corps enjoyed a
smoker and banquet at the Young

evening.
Sergeant Howard B. Ellinger, of the
local recruiting station, was in
charge of the event. Charle Rosen
thaler, mess sergeant, was assisted by
Sam Antony, one of the cooks at a
local restaurant, in preparing the
menu. The affair last evening was
preliminary to a more elaborate ban
quet which is being planned for the
near future.
Members of the Signal Reserve
Corps may receive orders to leave for
a New Jersey training camp at any
moment.
CHARGES WITHDRAWN
The charge of assault and battery
which had Deen lodgafi aaginst John
Barr by Harry Hilton, a brother of
Edward J. Hilton, who was defeated
for the Republican nomination for
coroner, was not heard in police court
yesterday. The charge against Barr
was withdrawn by Hilton before the
time set for the hearing.

PICK BECK FOR
SOLDIER TEAM;
BERRY CAPTAIN
Allentown, Pa., Sept. 21. —Accord-
ing to the officers of the United
States ambulance camp, Howard
Berry, twice winner of the pentath
lon and star football playel- on the
Penn eleven, will in a few days head
the newly organized football team of
the ambulance corps. Beck, a Har
rlsburg star from Tech high school,
is in the squad.
The ambulance camp football team
will be organized, managed and
coached by Lieutenant William E.
Haken, of Philadelphia, guard on the
famous Penn team of 1904 and later

E. Smith, Central College, Fayette,
Missouri.
Mnny Players
Among the sections in camp repre
senting forty-seven of the colleges
and universities of the United States
nearly every one claims one or more
football players. About eighty of
thein have reported for organization
and limbering up the past forty
eight hours, and the prospects are so
good that Coach Raken said to-day:
"T believe that we have material that
by midsearon can beat any eleven in
the country." A rough gridiron has
been laid out in camp, but in a few
da,ys real 'practice will begin on

Hitting Big Factor
Hits figured in all of the runs by
Atlantic City. They clouted the ball
at the right time. Miller's triple
after Thompson had singled save<l
Harrisburg from whitewash. Errors
put men on bases for visitors, and

the American league, but no matter
how hard he slugged the pill, Cobb
slugged just a little bit harder. Jack
son is one of the few men in tho
majors who has batted better than
Cobb with an average of .408 against
.420 for Cobb.
Ken mentions as likely candidates are
Beck, O'Donnell and Cubbage, of

University of Maine; Roehl. of the
University of Tennessee, and Doland,
of the University of Wisconsin.
Coach Raken says there are also
men from Harvard, Yale, Princeton.
Columbia, University of Washington,
Leland Stanford, Chicago and some
of the other colleges who are likely
to prove surprises.
Late Arrivals
In the Youngstown base hopital
unit is Ray Thomas, an all-American
player from Ohio State and West
Virginia Universities, and witftMhe
Minneapolis contingent, which ar
rived this week, is Yerxa, from Carl
ten College, Northfield, Minn., who

university.
Coach Raken is busy arranging a
schedule on which he figures will be
Penn, Columbia. Fordham, Prince
ton, Harvard, Yale, Franklin and
Marshall, Pitt, Penn State, Ursinus,
Muhlenberg, P. M. C. t Lehigh and
Muhlenberg.
He has hooked Fafayette for Oc
