CUBS DEPEND ON THREE PITCHERS IN WORLD SERIES; KIWANIS TO MEET "BLACK CATS"
CUBS RELY ON
THREE PITCHERS
Field Marshal Mitchel. and
Killifer Preparing For
World Series
Every one Interested In baseball Is
speculating on whether the post-sea
son series this year will be the usual
great drawing card. If Chicago and
Boston are the contestants it is pretty
certain that the series will draw \vell,
especially in Chicago, where the fans
are keen for the annual classic event,
ft is certain, however, that while the
interest is national the attendance
will have to be furnished by the cities j
engaged in the series, as the usual :
jreat foreign attendance will be ex- ;
ceedingly limited this year owing to .
war conditions of travel and general |
expense.
Field Marshal Fred Mitchell, of the
Cubs, will be the biggest man In the
game if he can wallop the Red Sox
with his pitching staff, for at the
present moment he has but three high
class men in prime condition, Jim
Vaughn, Phil Douglass and Lefty
Tyler. When these three are right,
is they commonly are these days, they
form a hurling triumvirate of excep
tional class and attainments. When
Douglas is in the mood he can pitch
with the ranking right-handers of his
day and generation and fear compari
son with none of them. Vaughn is
the leading southpaw of the year, so
far as the National League is con
cerned. and Tyler, though fallen away
somewhat from his superlative form
sf 1914. is still a star of the first
magnitude.
If Tyler and Vaugtin are both on
edge for the series Mitchell will have
an asset beyond price in this pair of
southpaws. The Redsox are not espe
cially partial to good left-handed
pitching, and can be beaten by a
southpaw when a right-hander would
be in momentary dtnger of losing
bis life. "Herb" Thormahlen and
"Slim" Love were both consistent
winners against them last spuing, and
Dther left-handers of the first flight
nave been equally effective against
them.
Three pitchers of the Douglas-
Vaughn-Tyler type are all any club
needs in a world's series, providing
a'l three are on edge, and the fact
that Fred Mitchell is their manager
should be guarantee enough that the
Cub "Big Three" will he thoroughly
primed when they engage the Redsox
or any other American League club
that may qualify for the series. Mit
chell is a specialist in that line and,
with one possible exception, can do
more with a pitching staff than any
other leader in the National League.
He proved that during his connection
with the Boston Braves and his hand
ling of the Chicago heaving corps
has but added to his reputation.
Engineers and Firemen
Play Brooks A. C. Today
The very speedy Brooks A. C.
team, champions of fork, to-day
take on the Harrisburg Engineers
and Firemen club down there. Man
ager Chub Beatty expected to get the
bunch under way at 3 o'clock at the
L'nion Station. The ballplayers made
a great record this year, losing out
to West End by an eyelash; but the
Brooks outfit have beaten everything
in the neighborhood of York, so this
evening's contest should be historic.
CHARLEY SCHWAB—REFEREE
"Charley Schwab will referee and
Caruso will sing." was the brief
startling announcement made by
Willus Britt yesterday in Philadel
phia when he gave out the plana for
a monster entertainment at Shibo
Park on August 29. The program
calls for an intershipyard boxing
tourney, some classy outside boxers
and a few wrestlers of note.
fin being questioned Willus Britt
said. "Charley Schwab will referee
one or more bouts and Caruso will
sing. Charlie has already consented
to he the third man in the ring and
on Monday we received a wire from
Caruso in which he stated that he
would be pleased to accept the Invi
tation."

AROUND THE BASES
•To-day, Eddie Collins, second base
man for the Chicago Americans,
plays hiS last game of the season at
Boston. He is supposed to leave to
night for Philadelphia to join thej
Marines. The recent order putting i
the ban on further enlistments will I
not affect Collins, as he had made
his arrangements to Join the Navy
before the order was issued. Eddie
was purchased from the Phtladel-|
fhia Americans for $50,000, and in I
addition to getting SIO,OOO as a,I
bonus from President Comiskey, hisj
contract called for $15,000 a year. I
He is 30 years old, married and has I
two children. Collins is the third I
member of the world champions to
announce their determination to en
list within the last week. Fred Mc-
Mullin and Charles Risberg left the
club to enter the service. President
Comiskey, on learning that Collins
had decided to enlist immediately
wired his congratulations.
Steve Yerkes, who is still foot
cuffed in a plaster setting on ac
count of a ripped tendon got a laugh
reading the story which was brought
up from Camp Funston. Steve is no
musician, but he can go around the
bases a little with Home Fires, and
so the yarn amused him all the
more. It tells of two Jewish boys,
one at home with a string of stories;
the other fighting for Uncle Sam
overe there. Ike wrote to Jake:
"Dear Jakie: I'm greatly worried
about your health. Why don't I
hear about you? Store No. 3 burned
last week and I collected $35,000
insurance. Please write. Ikey."
But still no word, and a week later
he wired again: "Dear Jakie: I am
greatly worried about your health.
Store No. 2 burned last night and I
collected $40,000 insurance. Let me
hear from you. Ikey." And Jakie
wired back: "Dear Ikey: You should
worry about my health. 'Keep the
home fires burning." Jake."
In the long career of the National
League no club has ever won four
successive championships, and it
was McGraw's ambition to be the
first manager to turn the trick. The
record appeared in sight, as the
Giants had a big lead in midsummer,
after which they just drifted with
the tide. Before the club awoke to
its danger the Boston Braves, shoot
ing from last place in July, passed
the Giants in September and held
the lead to the finish.
By winning the championship lost
season McGraw was the first Na
tional League manager to win six
pennants and he tied Connie Mack
of the Philadelphia Athletics for the
big league record. This year Mc-
Graw hoped to pass even Mack and
again he started with a team which
made all the others look sad in con
trast, but again the slump came, and
a chance to make a new managerial
record is very limited.
Whenever two old ball players cr
enthusiasts get together you may
be sure they will sooner or later be
gin to "fan." The result of such a
meeting recently was an authentic
account of the following freak in

years ago:

AMERICAN TENNIS STARS BEAT
JAPANESE WONDER AT BOSTON
A great crowd of tennis enthusi
asts saw the famous veterans, Fred
Alexander and Bqals Wright, win
yesterday in five hard sets at Bos
ton in the national doubles tourna
ment from the Japanese champion,
Kumagee and his schoolboy part
ner, Harold Taylor. The score, 6-3,
6-3, 4-5, 6-4, and Alexander and
Wright moved into the semifinals.
Itchi, as the American players call
the clever Nipponese, gave one of
his greatest exhibitions. Taylor was
outclassed by the others and Kuma
gae realized that it was up to him.
He was by long odds the fastest man
on the court and critics here do not
see how he can be stopped in the
national singles championship.
Even when Taylor made many in
excusable double faults the Jap was

son, both clubs of the Indiana State
League.
The remarkable chapter of the
contest was confined to one inning,
when the Anderson players made six
hits—three triples, a double and two
singles—without scoring a single
run. This is how it was done:
Ireland, the first man up, hit a
triple and was caught at the plate.
One out no runs. Wisdell landed
for another three-bagger; he died at
the plate as well. Shumway also
whacked the ball for three bases and
played safe on third.
The next man up, Derby, bunted
down the third base line, but the
third baseman thought it was foul
and didn't rush to get it. When it
finally percolated through his cran
ium that the ball was fair Derby
was on second. Shumway was still
hanging on to third. Faats, the next
batter, got a single on a ball bunted
down the third base line.
Fear came to bat and hit the ball
on the nose for a liner between first
and second, which- hit Faats, run
ning from first to second. This made
three out, but Fear was credited
with a single.
Hal Chase missed his train in New
York after being ordered to go home
by Christy Mathewson and being
supplied with a railroad ticket by
Frank Bancroft. He announced
that he will remain in New York tor
the present and possibly may stav
there until his suspension is lifted
if Matty relents later. The other
players on the Red team have ex
pressed themselves as glad that he
is out of the lineup.
Ball players have a heart. When
Benny Kauft was at the plate for the
last time before joining the army
the fans at Ebbets field were pulling
for him to make a hit. But the
rooters were not alone in their
thought. Manager Robbie and Otto
Miller of the Robins were also wish
ing that the little outfielder would hit
safely while up for the last time.
Miller, who was catching, signaled
Grimes to give Benny a high fast
ball, the kind the Giant can slum
Grimes put it where Miller wanted
it, but instead of landing out of a
fielder's reach it dropped into Ivan
Olson's glove.

Wilmington is now chief contender
with the Cottage Hill speedsters, and
Bethlehem has practically admitted
her inability to cop the flag. The
play-off of a protested game between
Lebanon and Wilmington on August
24 may make a difference in the
standing of some clubs, but not of
Steelton. The game to be played off
results from a protest made by Leb
anon against Wilmington in the first
game of the season. Lebanon was
defeated and after the game alleged
that most of the players in the Wil
mington line-up were not eligible.
The matter was taken to the league
officials who after investigating found
the charges true and immediately
ordered the game replayed. Accord
ing to the rules of the league, the
game will have to be played with
players who were eligible at the time 1
of the opening of the season.

Uniontown Speedway to Buy
Oldiield's Submarine Car
Uniontown, Pa., August 15.—The
Golden Submarine, Barney Oldfield's
famous racing car, is to go on the
auction block, according to reports
I received by the Uniontown Speedway
I management and already the Fayette
| county association is planning to
, make desperate efforts to purchase
the famous Barney's equally famous
racing machine. If the Speedway As
sociation is successful in making the
purchase, the car will be campaigned
on every speedway in the country
! under the Uniontown Speedway As
| sociation's colors.
The only thing to mar the Autumn
Classic at the Uniontown Speedway
on Labor's great national holi
day, will be the absence of the
famous D. ddy of them all. Barney
drove his last speedway race at
Uniontown on July 18 and is retiring
from the automobile racing game
after building up the greatest repu
tation in the history of the automo
bile. The passing of the veteran is
deeply regretted by the western
Pennsylvania racing fans for he was
a favorite at Uniontown and perhaps
the greatest single attraction the
speedway has ever known.
The Golden Submarine, which the
Uniontown Speedway is making a
determined effort to secure, is a mar
vel of American skill and workman
ship. It was designed to prevent ac
cident in case the car overturned and
the spectacular wreck of the submar
ine with Horsey at the wheel at
Ascott Speedway demonstrated the
o!d master knew what he was talk
ing about when he said that it was
impossible to hurt the driver if the
car overturned. The car, in the Ascot
smash, rolled over three times and
Horsey came up smiling.

The second will be held September

Charles E. Reese is manager of
the Kiwanis team and Lieutenant
Omar Harris manages the Black
Cats. Lieutenant Harris, incidental
ly, is known in the athletic world as
"the father of army baseball." Ho

baseball fans are not to be depriv

Walter Craighead, who said to-day
that the magnates of both major

a series after that date. He spoke
assuringly of the world's series
; and added that there should be no

I does not anticipate any inter

I I can say no more, because the

Giants Say They Still
Have Chance For Flag
Whether the success of the New
York Nationals in making a clean
sweep in their series with Boston
means that the Giants have found
themselves again- and taken a
brace, or was merely a continu
ance of the Indian sign which the
McGrawites have had on the
Brave all season—they have won
every one of their 14 games with
the Hub crowd this year—is a
| question that cannot be answered
! at present, but evidently Manager
| McGraw figures it Indicates the
I return of his club's old fighting
spirit for he refuses to stand for
the Giants being counted out of
the pennant hunt. The Gotham
manager says he is convinced that
his team still has a good chance
for the flag and is confident of
making a successful drive on the
western trip that will change the
complexion of things. "The
Giants," he said, "still are in the
fight for the pennant. The Cubs
are apt to crack wide open. They
appear to be hitting the down
grade now, and if we get our
share of the breaks it would not
surprise me in the least to see the
Giants nose out Mitchell's team In
the last days of the race. New
York is not beaten yet. Not by a
long shot." McGraw's belief is
not shared by the average fan,
however. The lead of five full
games now held by the Cubs is
quite a margin it 1b considered
that the season will end In less
than three weeks, and the showing
made by the Giants on their first
two Western trips does not prom
ise that their efforts to overcome
Chicago's advantage on the com
ing tour will be successful. The
McGrawites probably will have to
do some tall hustling to hold even
second place unless the Pirates let
down in their present pace.
