BOSTON RED SOX HERE TODAY WITH "BABE" RUTH--CHICAGO WINS AMERICAN PENNANT BOSTON RED SOX ARE HERE WITH HOME-RUN HITTER; BIG CROWD GREETS RUTH Boston Red Sox came here to-day to I atop the Klein Chocolate Company team's winning etrcak. With "Babe" jßuth the home run champion in their [lineup, along with "Wally" Schang. •'"Stuffy" Mclnnes and other big stars, ,Boston expected to win out at T'.nnd Bark this afternoon. It was another Ideal day for baseball. Unusual interest was manifested in this game because of the presence of Ruth. Yesterday at New York, the Boston Red Sox shut out the Yankees 4 to 0 in the first game of a double header and then lost a thlrteen lnning battle by 2 to 1. The win ning run was scored on a three-bagger by Pipp and a sacrifice fly by Pratt. Ruth broke the home run record of 27 by Ed. Williamson in 1884 by driving the ball over the roof of the right field grand stand in the ninth inning of the r.econd game. This tied the score and resulted In a thirteen-inning game. HcJwly For Big Hitters The game was scheduled to start at 3.43 this afternoon. Big crowds started for Island Bark early and there was every indication that the attendance would recah that of the Cincinnati game. Manager Brackenridge will have both Horned and Plitt on hand for mound work. He said to-day he would not take any chances and was prepared for "Babo" Ruth and the bunch of hard In Iters. There will be a game on Monday after the Welcome Home parade. It is not certain whether Washington or New York will play. Manager Breckenridge hopes io land the Giants but If he fails I in ilia efforts along this line, Washington THINGS CHANGED UNDERGLEASON "[White Sox Champions Did Not Size Up Strong at Be ginning; Vets in Lineup Chicago, Sept. 25. When "Kid" Gleason succeeded Clarence Rowland as manager of the Chicago Ameri cans and started the 1019 season with the same lineup that finished sixth the 1918 pennant race after winning the world's championship in 1917, few bnseball experts figured that the •White Sox would win the American, league flag this season. But that is what has happened and the "wise ones" are offering all sorts of reasons for the startling reversal of form. They say that playing un der a new leader was a contributing factor, but all agree that perhaps, the main one was that the players tn.-mselves entered the game this season with a renewed confidence, following the termination of the ■world war. Last season a majority of the White Sox were expecting to he called into military service any day, and this with the classification of base ball as "non essential" was a disturbing situation . Stars Leave Team The 1918 White Sox was a team grinding over the pennant road minus some of its main cogs. Joe Jackson, the club's leading batter this season went into the shipyards after batting .354 for seven games: Oscar "Happy" Felch, quit the club after playing in 53 games; Pitcher Faber enlisted in the navy after win ning five of six games, while Pitcher Claude Williams went to work in the bhipyards when he had won s'x and lost four games. The loss of these four players proved a staggering blow. Added to this loss, Eddie Cicotte, the veteran right handed and lead ing pitcher in 1917, was in a slump during the entire season, winning only 12 games and losing 19. But It was a different Cicotte this season. His remarkable comeback has been one of the sensations of the year, and ills effective pitching is one of the chief reasons why the White Sox finished out in front. Vctcrnii Linkup That the White Sox will have prac tically a veteran lineup when the baseball classic against Cincinnati is shown by the following comparison of the 1917 and 1919 lineups: Liebold, 1.f., 1917; Liebold, 1919. McMullin, 3b., 1917; Weaver, 1919. E. Collins. 2b., 1917: E. Collins 2b„ 1919. Jackson, 1.f., 1917; Jackson, 1.f., 1919 Felsch, c.f„ 1917; Felsch, 1.f., 1919. Gandil, lb., 1917; Gandil, lb., 1919. Weaver s.s. 1917; Risberg, s.s., 1919 Schalk, c.. 1917; Schalk, c., 1919. Risberg was with the club in 1917, but was benched by Manager Row land for the world's scries owing to erratic playing. Golf Miracle Comes With Big Match at Forest Hills New York, Sept. 25. A golfing miracle was accomplished yesterday at the Forest Hills field club in New Jer sey, when George S. Stewart and Fred Sleppmycr halved the 18th hole in one. Stewart teed off first, hitting the Iron shot for the hole 145 yards away, and watched his ball trickle into the hole. Then Sleppmycr stepped up and drove off. His ball dropped upon the green and after a short run clicked against the back of the cup and fell into the hole for an "eagle" one. CALL OF POST-SEASON SERIES New York, Sept. 25. The pro posed post season baseball series be tween the New York National and American League clubs has been de clared off, it was learned to-day. Presi dent Stoneham, of the Giants, expressed the opinion that thero was little public demand for the games.

Local sport patrons uro anxious to show their appreciation lor the great brand of football that is being de livered in this city by Coach Smith and his band of Tech pigskin fol lowers. Last year brought a big championship, and Captain "Haps" Frank with a good nucleus of play ers front last year's champion team can be depended upon to bring more laurels to this city. Coach Smith will use a squad of twenty in the Allentown contest. In terest will, of course, center in the buckfield, where Lingle, Beck and Wilsbach will act as tho wrecking crew for • opposing lines and ends. Garrett will likely be the fourth man in the backtield. "Red" Mc- Cord and George Germer will also do some performing in the back lield. Beck to Do Kicking Carl Beck has been doing some great kicking and Coach Smith will depend on hint to do the booting. Not many college players are in his class. "Tony" Wilsbach will kick the goals from field and from touch down, with Captain Frank holding the oval-shaped ball. Chances favor "Johnny" Smith for the center post. Joe Reese must also be reckoned for this place. Smith has been brilliant on the base ball field as well as in the cage. There is no reason in the world why he should not develop into a star football player. "Zip" Malick has had a bunch of hard luck with a bruised leg and burns from iodine. He will probably be on the side lines for the opening contest. Good End Players "Snaps" Emanuel and Malick are leading for the ends positions, but are being pushed by "Midge" Mat ter and Gotshall. Another lad who is using his avoirdupois to a good advantage is "Sausage Dog" Marcus. He has been showing good form out at end, and will be a hard lad to keep from the squad. At tackle Captain Frank and "Johnny" Arnold hold the lead. But for their places and at the guards are Aldinger, Ace, Eaton, "Eat" El linger, Pleam and Lutz. They have all had several years' experience on , the reserves, and are about due for a varsity berth. Allentown has the advantage of having already played one contest, ( but Tech is sure to repeat history and give the Lehigh countians a good walloping. The game will start at 3 o'clock.

Coach Pete Reynolds yesterday gave his Buck nell squad a slashing work day in prep aration for the Penn game on Saturday. For the first time this season he as sembled an eleven that may be termed a "Varsity outfit" It was headed by John Hendren, the captain, and tallied four touchdowns in twenty minutes on Its opponents. Harry Dayhoff, the Steelton boy, was the out standing performer. He ran back and kicked off for forty yards and gained whenever he carried the ball. Vic Bihl, the Harrlsburg Tech. star center, was handicapped to-day by an Injured leg. Johnson, last year's tackle, was moved to guard to-day, but he will doubtless bo a tackle selection for Saturday's game. Fred Lauster, the big Freshman guard, suffered a broken hand In the scrimmage. Reynolds worked his best men almost wholly on the defensive, j Two new men joined the squad to-jlay. > (Other Sporting Mows on Page 8) HARRISBURG Q§sG£s& TELEGRXPH MIDDLEBURG'S FAST TEAM Middleburg's fast baseball team Is having a very successful season, and may well lay the claim to the championship of Snyder and Union counties.

WHITE SOX HAS GOOD MOUND MEN Gotham Fans Look to Dickey Kerr as One Boy to Bump Reds New York, Sept. 25.—There are a lot of Gotham fans who are ready to say that the bugs who have been classing the White Sox as a two pitcher team are crazy. Their big gest argument against this belief is Dickey Kerr, the juvenile portside hurler of the Gleason fold. This youngster seems almost sure to get a crack at the Reds in the big series, and those who saw him make monkeys out of the Yanks yesterday believe he is good enough to keep Gleason from making Ci cotte and Williams do a super iron man stunt against the Morans. If the White Sox uncork the the brand of ball they spilled on the Polo Grounds they can take a chance with Bill James, Grover Lowdermllk or Roy Wilkinson on the mound against the Reds. Murderous Team Gleason has a murderous team on the attack, and the defense of his infield and the gardens is a la con crete. Of course, it would be fool ish to believe the Sox will have any where near the snap with the Reds they had in the dduble win over the Yankees.
