Both the Yankees and the Cleveland Indians are idle today, but tomorrow they begin their final four games, which will decide the issue in the * American circuit. The Chicago White Sox are the Indians’ opponents in the world champions’ four last contests, while New York plays three with the Athletics and one with the Red Sox. Pitcher Bush of the Red Sox held the Athletics to four hits in the sec- CONNIE, WITH 3 TITLES ' TOPS BIG SERIES PILOTS interesting sidelight on world series of other years is concerned A in the managers of the pennant-winning teams, whose employment of base ball cunning in the various games has been one of the in- visible yet most potent factors in the great events. Connic Mack, the slender boss of the Philadelphia Athletics, can lay claim to the greatest world series honors. Three of Mack’s teams have won the series since the national commission took hold of base ball in 1905. Twice Mack found himself pitted.against the wily John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, and Mack _won on both occasions. Another of base ball’s greatest leaders, Frank Chance of the Cubs, lost a series to the Mackmen. However, Chance was one of the select few who led their teams to world_series victory on two occasions. In 1907 and 1908 his Cubs turned back Hughie Jennings’ Detroits. Chance's outfit was defeated in the series of 1906 by Manager Jones' Chicago White Sox. The cubs were woefully weak in that series, taking into_consideration the fact that they had set a new record for games won in winning the National League pennant. ‘Winners and Lowers Since 1905. Bill Carrigan won two series in 1916 and 1916, with the Bostou Red Sox. The following table shows the winning and losing managers since 1905. ‘WINNER. 1905—McGraw, New York Nationals. 1906—Jones, Chicago Americans. 1907—Chance, Chicago Nationals. 1908—Chance,” Chicago Nationals. 1909—Clarke, Pittsburgh Nationals. 1910—Mack, Philadelphia Americans. 1911—Mack, Philadelphia Americans. 1912—Stahl, Boston Americans. two runs in four times at bat, and in the second he was up twice, scored twice and made one hit. Pittsburgh continued a pennant pos- sibility in the National circuit by win- ning from Philadelphia, while the Giants were not scheduled. In the even break between Brook- 1yn and Boston, Center Fielder Powell of the Braves helped his team to win the first game with four hits—three triples and a single. John Collins of the Red Sox made half of his season’s four homers in the first ime against the Athletics. In this game, also, C. Walker of the Ath- letics made his twenty-second homer, and Pratt, Red Sox, hit his fourth. Roush won for Cincinnati over Chi- cago with a circuit clout, scoring two runners ahead of him, and Robertson of Pittsburgh hit one. > LOSER. Mack, Philadelphia Americans. Chance, Chicago Nationals.

YORK, September 28.—One toud and ringing yawp is expected from Jack Curley, the wrestling im- presario, who survived lean years of the mat game in New York and finally through bare-handed efforts made_the sport popular in the me- tropolis. It is well known that the equally well known New York state athletio commission recently drew the claws, the teeth and the hind legs from the sport of wrestling in this celebrated commonwealth. The com- missioners barred the head lock, the scissors and the toe hold. That would be tantamount to eliminating the curved ball, the extra base hit and the overhand throw from base ball. It converts the grim sport of wrestling into the category of hand embroidery or quoits. ‘Why did the commission do thus? ‘Were the impelling motives humani. tarian? Or did the athletic author! «ties aim to restrict the operations of Promoter Curley to all points north, east, south and west of the Empire state? These questions are being asked by wrestling fans. No one seems to be able to answer them. This fact, however, i3 known: Cur- ley and the athletic commissioners ad none of those relations which have made David and Jonathan, Da- . mon_and Pythias, Jack Dempsey and Joe Benjamin and other good friends of the past and present, famous. Well, Kansas City and other points are open to Curley. Probably he will go there; for unless the athletic commission re- considers its drastic action you couldn’t draw enough spectators to a wrestling show in this state to fill an election booth. Wrestling here is gesenkt. ELKS TO PLAY ALL-STARS TOMORROW AT A. L.

Billy Evans of the American League BY H. C. BYRD. HREE former local high school athletes left here last night to enter Columbia University, Jeffries and Burke of Western and Krupp of Central having cast their fortunes with the New York institution. Jefiries and Burke each starred in three sports and Krupp in two. From a standpoint of athletics Columbia is decidedly lucky in acquiring school- T boys of so much promise. Burke and Jeffries played in the backfleld together at Western and did remarkably well.” Both played together in basket ball and during the spring terms Burke went out for track and Jeffries did some stellar batting and playing around _third base. Krupp was a tackle for Central last fall and during the spring show- ed form on the slab, which indicated that he should develop into a star pitcher in collegiate ranks. All three are of the highest type of material for college athletic teams. George Washington and the Uni- versity of Maryland scrimmaged yes- terday in Potomac Park for three- quarters of an hour, both .schools using twofull teams.” The Hatchet- ites showed considerable improve- particularly in their defense and in the use of a short forward pass. Maryland’s second-string linemen were given their first long scrim- mage of the year in defensive prac- tices and they stood up well. The | Hatchetites have a very heavy line, a set forwards which will show well in competition with almost any due to be faced this season. Hawley and Hart at tackles and peak and Shaw on the ends are four exceptionally good performers. Loehler, who has been holding and William Rigler of the National|gown an end job, is playing fullback League will umpire. CARDINALS WILL MAKE LONG TOUR FOR GAMES ST. LOUIS, September 28.—A team of members of the St. Louis National League club, to be named “The Card| nal Barnstormers,” will play a five- game series with the St. Louis Glants here after the close of the regular season. The proposed fall series between the Cardinals and Browns was celled off when a majority of, the National League_players opposed it. The Barnstormers have scheduled | games in Wisconsin, Jowa and Illi- 'nois, and are arranging for a trip through the south. FUND FOR MATHEWSON HAS REACHED $11,850 NEW YORK, September 28.—The testimonial fund for Christy Mathew- son, former pitcher of the New York Glants, who is waging a fight against rculosis at Saranac Lake, has reached $11,850. ‘The fund will be swelled Friday by the Giants’ share of the receipts of a game with the Boston Braves and by the proceeds of an auotion of base bails autographed by President Harding, Babe Ruth and by “Big Six” himself. DISTRICT .NET TITLE PLAY RESUMED AT DUMBARTON ‘With clearing weather, play was re- sumed this afternoon in the District tennis championships at Dumbarton Club. Men’s singles and doubles and women'’s singles were scheduled for decision. The most important match in the first mentioned class was that between Clarence Charest, Dumbarton Club expert, and Jack Dudley, fo.ll'_l"r‘ler ey tennls captain at Swarthmore. were to meet at 3:30 o’clock. Drawings are to be made today for women'’s_doubles and mixéd doubles, Play probably will start tomoTrow. Norfolk and Portsmouth Tie. PORTSMOUTH, Va., September 28.— Norfolk and Portsmouth tied, 1 to 1 yesterday, in the second game of the post-season series to_decide the pen- nant winner in the Virginia League split season. Rain and darkness stopped the game at the end of the { for tenth inning. D TERMINAL “Y” BOWLERS FORM EVENING LEAGUE AY employes of the Washington Terminal railroad soon will be battling on the bowling drives. At a meeting held last night they organized the Terminal R. R. Y. M. C. A. Evening Duckpin League, and should make a good man for the place. In Scofield and Springston, George Washington has two very elusive backs. Scrimmaging yesterday may result. in some losses for the Maryland eleven for its game with Rutgers Sat- urday. Eddie Semler, probably the shiftiest back ‘that Maryland has in the open fleld, twisted his knee; “Piggy"” Moore got a kick on the leg which gave him a “charley horse” and “Tubby” Branner received a whack on his shoulder which brought back an old injury. Gallaudet will mot play the Camp Humphreys eleven this week. - The Engineers were slated to appear at Kendall Green Saturday, but Athletic Director Stewart of Gallaudet yester- day made the announcement that there could be no contest. Byrne, star basket ball and foot ball player of Gonzaga College, bids fair to make a name for himself in athletics at Georgetown. Rumor has it that Coach Exendine intends 'to start him at fullback against Lebanon Valley Saturday in the opening game of the season here. Buck Wise and Fritz Buckholz are two other local boys doing~well in the daily workouts on’the hilitop. Heine and Hough, two of Tech's all- high players, who are at the Univer- sity of Maryland, have been turned over to the freshman team. Both are good enough to be carried as second-string material by the varsity, but need the experience they will- get by taking part in the contests on the freshman schedulc. It is the inten- tion to develop Heine as a back. ‘Grifls'Clnneufor'mird Flace in Race Now Slim In addition to giving the pen- mant aspirations of the Yankees a setback, the Browns, by thelr vietory in New York yesterday, increased the margin of their Nold on third place to The Browns have remaining only two games, with the Tygers in Detroit Saturday and 8 y. The Na s ha five left—single contests Boston tomorrow and Friday, and a double-head and one game witl men here Sunday. If St. Louis wins its two, Washingtoa will have to take five to land in third place, d if the Browns break eve the Griftmen must win four of five to finish in the money. POLOIST BREAKS LEG AND HIS PONY IS KILLED PHILADELPHIA, September 28.— | The Great Neck four, L. E. Stoddard; Rodman Wanamaker, 2d; J. Watson Webb and R. E. Strawbridge, jr., won the open polo championship of the United States yesterday by defeating Rockaway, eight goals to six, in the final match of the tournament. Morgan Belmont, Thomas Hitchcock, |ir.; B. K. Gatins and J. Cheever Cow- | din composed the Rockaway team. The contegt was marred by an acci- dent to Cowdin in which his right leg was broken and his pony killed. Two Stake Races Decided, COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 28.— Two stake events were the features of yesterday's grand circuit racing program, the Board of Trade 2:05 pace and the Chamber of Commerce 2:08 trot, each with a purse of $3,000.

None of the probable candidates for the big series is of the Hal Chase, George Sisler or Stuffy Mclnnis type. Walter Pipp is a'much better player than he is often given credit for. He has the ideal build, is a fine fielder and a good hitter. Grimm is the first real first baseman the Pittsburgh club has had in years. He seems deninep to develop into a star. Kelly, who gained fgme in the spring by pressing Babe Ruth for the home-run honors, is one of the tallest men to ever play first base in the majors. He has proved his right to be classed as a real big leaguer after several trips back to the minors. 3 Cle_vel..lnd has used the shift system with first basemen. George Burns, a right-handed batter who loves southpaws, works when the In- dians oppose that style of pitching. Doc Johnston is used against right- handers.
