Griffs Have 18 World Series Veterans : Bucs’ Slump Worries National Leaguers MUCH MAJOR EXPERIENCE | HAD BY MOST NATIONALS| GROUP PHOTOS “POISON,” LEADERS’ PILOTS THINK Stanley Harris, who is piloting the Nationals to a second suc- cessive pennant, and Willlam Mc- Kechnie, whose Pirates seem to be on their way to the highest place in the National League, are good, sound, sensible men, men with keen intellects and broad vision. But, like other humans, they have their foibles. Each has the same pet superstition—“no group photograph of my club until the pennant Is in." Neither Harris nor McKechnie could tell you why it may be “poison” to his" team’s chances to have such a picture made. But it just isn't being done, that's all.

So Joe has been beating through the bush considerably, but his finds are not so frequent. However, he landed a pro- | pective big leaguer yesterday at Nash- ville.

The City Counci ed a Cobb day WILL CLASH TODAY By the Associated Press NEW YORK, September 15.—Major league clubs are enmeshed in their | final intersectional tussle of the 1925 season today, with first division teams pitted against the leaders in both cir- cuits. Pittsburgh regained its winning stride after taking four setbacks in a row by whacking out a 9-to-4 victory over the Robins yesterday. Vic Al dridge was master in the box, hang- ing up his seventh consecutive tri- umph As the Giants were speeding west- ward to open a series with the third-, place Cincinnati Reds, the victory ad- vanced the lead of the Pirates to six and one-half games. The Athletics lost ground in their forlorn pennant chase by dropping the | final of a six-game series to the Yan-| kees, 3 to 1. Sam Jones limited the Mackmen to two singles. The only genuine safe bingle was made by Red Holt, formerly of the Jersey City In- ternationals. Jones’ neglect to cover firs allowed Corchrane to receive credit for the other blow. FOURNIER, HURT BY FANS’ ABUSE, TO LEAVE DODGERS By the Associated Press. N EW YORK, September 15.—A special dispatch from Pittsburgh to the New York Evening World says that First Baseman Jacques Fournier of the Brooklyn Nationals, now playing here, has an- nounced that he will not play another season in a Brooklyn uniform. Fournier says his treatment by the fans has been of such abusive character as to make him wish to withdraw from base ball. contract for next year at $12,500. In announcing his intention not to wear a Brooklyn uniform next year, Fournier said: “I have been 16 vears in base ball and am accustomed to the fickleness | of crowds, but the roasting I have received in Brooklyn has been so sav- age that T cannot play in a Brooklyn uniform and retain my self-respect. Every vile name has been hurled at me over and over agaln because 1 made the ordinary run of errors or had not done something which foul- mouthed persons in the stands had ex- pected me to do “My determination not to play again for Brooklyn is not the result of plque over a few incidents.

My wife long since stopped going to the games in Brooklyn because she could not stand the unmerited attacks upon me and now I can no longer stand them.” ‘Wilbert Robinson, president of the Brooklyn elub, when informed of the star first baseman’s determination to quit the club, said: *Fournier got peeved at the actions of some dis- gruntled fans in Brooklyn, but I am certainly counting on him for next year.” BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS Standing of the Clubs.

The gymnasiums, one for boys and one for girls, are exzctly alike, and each is equipped with commodious dressing rooms and a battery of 10 shower baths.
