HILADELPHIA Athletics have established two notable records this P season, first by racing to the front of the American League race with an aggregation that few considered of first-division caliber, and then by suffering one of the most complete routs that any club ewver experienced.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, September 9.—As certainly as anything ball can be written down before it actually comes to pass, Pittsburgh will get the two opening games of the 1925 world series. The new world series rules, to be used for the first time this car, pro | vide that the winning National League club shall have the two opening prevented | games, the American League club the next three, the Nationai League club the next, and the winner of a coin toss the seventh to settle the championship issue. It is certain that an effort will be made to play in Washington on Sunday, as Sunday base ball is permitted there, while it is not permitted in Pittsburgh. Fortunately the new arrangement for 1925 will help tha if it is necessary Games Nos. 1 and 2 can be play. in Pittsburgh on October 7 and 8. October 9 should then be taken for travel between Pittsburgh und Washington, although this has not been definitely decided upon. That would put game No. 3—the opener, ar as the city of Washington is concerned—in the Capital on Satur October 10, with the second Washington game, or game No. 4, fall ing on Sunday. and game N on Monday, the 1%th.
