And neither does any one else, in spite of all the guessing, in either big league. September the Crucial. It is beginning to be plainly evident that September is to be the vital month of the campaign. But the first of the month there will be at least four clubs still left in the heavy muddle, so a span of the home games left to each contender might be of interest. Anyway, here is the list of home games through Septem- ber: Games .. 25 Brooklyn ..... 6 .. 21 Philadelphia .. 3 .. 18 Boston . Wb ... 16 New York .9 Games Pittsburg .... St. Louis .. Chicago ... Cincinnati . . The Western Advantage. This shows the heavy schedule ad- vantage held by western clubs, pro- vided they can reach home sod fairly close to the front. If Pittsburg and Cincinnati, for two examples, can reach September only a stride or two from the top they will carry a heavy advantage against such clubs as Brooklyh, Boston and Philadelphia, who will be forced to struggle most of the way far from their bases of sup- priles—viz., the supporting warhoops of the home town fans. If Philadel- rhia, Brooklyn and Boston are to raise any steady pennant hope they must come to September with an open space between thir standing and those of the West, especially when the dope is considered that neither Philadel- phia nor Brooklyn has been overly triumphant in the land where the sun very frequently sets through force of habit, gravity or desire, The Red Sox Advantage. The September schedule advantage in the American league is all Boston. Through the test month Carrigan’s entry has twenty-one games booked uvpon Boston’s cultured sod. And through the same period Detroit has four, including a Labor Day double- header. So unless Jennings can establish a few games to his credit above the fleld by the closing August afternoon the odds against him will be even mcre than Cobb and Crawford can normally protect. Maxims of the 19th Hole. He that heeleth his iron shots had as well have a millstone tied around his neck and be cast into the sea. So shall his anguish be abated. My son, remember this and go thy way: The only safe approach to the Nineteenth Hole is the one that stop- peth short of the cup. If any large number of mothers have been viewing ball games this season the ditty which has obtained the famous Angora of Colonel Roose- velt would b changed to this choru “I didn’t raise my boy to be an im- pire; I'd rather have him charge a German trench.” Which reminds us that Sewell Ford is now working upon a popular bal- lad, to be entitled: “I didn’t raise my boy to be a golfer.” ‘While Ty Cobb has the American league batting leadership packed away, Snyder, Doyle and Daubert all have a shot at the premier swatting ‘honor in the older league, with Merkle and Luderus on the outside edge. Dodger Jake led his league in 1913 and 1914, but Snyder and Doyle are harassing him at present in the pur- suit of a third term, If the esteemed Dodgers win the pennant this fall Colonel Ebbets will deliver an oration, in which he will admit that baseball at last has risen from its infancy into the full flush of an established prime. It would be Cincinnati’s baseball luck to have the Reds land the flag on the day Germany declared war on America, thereby promoting the cap- ture and internment of nine-tenths of the Redland club. “I'll win the American league pen- nant in 1917”"—Connie Mack. Not with the cast indulging in bean bag and leap frog around the circuit of 1915, Not by 1917 or by 1947, Int the old days the general custom in vogue was to go out and win a pennant. The system now is to go out und buy one. If baseball is to be re- tained in the affection of the people a Tule should be passcd at once that by PORT LIGHT Grénflancf Rice | no club can purchasc a plaver from | another club in the same class after the first of June. According to the svstem now in vogue, John D, Rocke- feller could win all the pennants there ever were. Magnates in their day and time have pulled some wonderful boners, but this matter of attempting 1o purchase a flag outright is the prize ivory exhibit of the lot. A Word From the West. Dear Sir: Speaking of Eastern- Western sport comparisons, here is something you may put in your pipe for a good smoke: 1. A Western club will win the pennant in either the American or National leagues this fall. 2. McLoughlin, a Western tennis player, will land the national cham- pionship. 3. Evans, & Western golfer, will win the golf championship at Detroit. Please Temember this tip when all the returns are in. AJAX. Brooklyn's battle for a pennant de- now offering. clubg and tradition to beat this season, and the rally they have made after two spotty road trips, shows the in- side lining of the club is of proper class.
