HOME RUN KING TO STICK TO BUSHES Former Star of Athletics Likes His New Berth and Will Stick, Media, Penn., Sept. ware County league season will end today and the four clubs in the league will play games with independent clubs with the exception of* Upland the new champions of the league, who will play a series of games with Col- umbia of the Delaware River league for the championship of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Despite the fact that there is a whole lot of talk about J. Franklin Baker flirting with the Federal league and that he would like to get back into the American league, the “Home Run King” declares that he has no desire to return to the major leagues and he is now bending his efforts to build up a strong team for Upland next season. John P. Crozier, backer of Upland, is anxious for Baker to remain with Upland next season, and it is gen- erally understood that Baker has de- cided to remain in the Delaware County league, where he will get a much larger salary next season. Man- ager Miller, of Upland, declares that Baker will play with Upland next sea- son. Baker is the leading hitter of the league, and his average is .438, and vet the big slugger has been purpose- ly walked on an average of once each game. CONSULTING EXPERTS ON F-4.

Sioux City, Towa, Sept. 6.—Des Moines won the 1915 pennant of the Western league by defeating Sloux City in the second game of a double- header here yesteérday 3 to 0. Des He was sa‘ing the_money for an au- Moines® lost the first contest after a ten inning struggle, 6 to B. ! western soil. Detroit, Sept. 6.—There were two more than interesting features con- nected with the amateur golf cham- pionship just concluded at Detroit— two among many others. These in- volve the matter of preparation for such an event—the question as to whether or not most contenders don’t play themselves out before the title stuff begins. The two features we refer to in- volve Bob Gardner, of Chicago and John Anderson, of New York. All through this summer Gardner has been playing very little golf, most of it embracing a Sunday round. He made no preparation for the tourna- ment, got to Detroit only one day ahead, and in his first practice round, which he played with Jerry Travers, was at least 7 or 8 down. Anderson played his last round of golf at Baltusrol back in June. Im- mediately after that he took charge of a boys' camp in the Maine woods, and had no opportunity to play a round from June to within a few days of the championship opening when he arrived in Detroit. For nearly three months he had gone without any golf at all. In his first round over the Detroit course Anderson took a 90. Yet An- derson and Gardner, who have played less golf this summer than any of the bther contestants, went smashing on through the field until they clashed in the Saturday final. This may be a freak of fate of it may prove something. If it proves anything it is that both came to the tournament fresh an.i keen for the week’s outing, and that it is far better to reach a tournament in this frame of physical and mental being than it is to overplay—as so many do—and become fagged after the start. One of the main features of the golf championship was the work of Zherrill Sherman. No one had even figured him with a chance in his first match against Albert Seckel. Yet he continued to step along until he upset the conqueror of Ouimet and reached the semi-finals—merely by playing steady, consistent golf with- out any particular thrills. The time has passed in American golf when any one or two men, or even any three or four men, can rule the field. There . are now ten or fifteen golfers who may beat any of the champlons at any time, and as each season comes it is going to be harder and harder to win a cham- pionship. “A year or so ago,” said Jerry Travers, “you could always figure only one or two men to beat if you happened to meet them in the draw. About one hard match was all that I ever worried about—knowing that in the other matches I had only to play steady golf to win. But those days are gone. You can’t loaf on any match now, and this means that the golfer who wins must start in fight- ing for every hole from the first day. “Any one of ten or twelve men is lizble at any time to move around in a 72 or 73, and you can’'t loaf any against any such. chance. This means that to win a golfer must be in fine physical condition to stand the strain. The one who isn't will never go through, for he can’t stand the burden of fighting hard for six days without a chance to loaf.” This same condition will soon exist in tennis. There are now two tennis players rated well above any others. They are McLoughlin and Willlams. But the youngsters are coming along, 2nd in two or three years there will | be at least a dozen who will give either McLoughlin or Willlams all he | can handle, and make a lawn tennis championship as uncertain as golf— which is now edging toward a toss up. The West has now given up hope of seeing a world scries set on The Red Sox are con- ceded the pennant ir the American league, while only three Eastern clubs have a chance in the National. ‘Through the West ameng leading fans and ball players the opinion is gen- eral that the Red Sox and Phillies will be the two kale-gathering clubs— which, if it should so happen, would constitute another so-called world's record. | Last year these same two citles were represented—but by different teams. Boston sent her National league entry to the scene, while Philadelphia was represented by the American league. To have the same two citadels on the big map with the leagues reversed would be something that has never happened before in ihe game—about the only thing that hasn't happened that we can think of just now. In Detroit recently we seemed to have a sudden hunch one day that football was approaching. We could net fathom or discover any particu- lar reason for this, but the hunch continued to grow, X®oking around, we found the answer. There stood Hurry-Up Yost, Yost says that Michigan will have as good an eleven thls fall as last year, and probably better. He ex- | LIGHT Grantland Rice pects to have a somewhat all-around machine. In so far as the Eastern situation is concerned, he picks Yale for the leading contender, with a fine chance to beat both Har- vard and Princeton. stronger Hughey Jennings is getting to be a | golfer at heart. The Tigers had a day off recently and Hughey was in- vited out to see some golf in the amateur championship over the De- troit Country club course. “Nothing doing,” replied Hughey. “Why?” queried a friend. “Don't | you like the game?” “Yes,” said Hughey, “but I've got a day off and I'm going out to play thirty-six holes myself."” Throughout the West a number of | critics figure that while Alexander would be effective against Detroit, he would not have as much success against the Red Sox in case big Alex | gets the chance to show. | “That Boston club can hit low-ball pitching,” remarked one who has followed Red Sox dope, “and the Tigers can’t. But hitting the brand of low-ball pitching that Alexander delivers when he is feeling fit is another matter. JEANS JOTTINGS. Speculation on the chances of the Red Sox and Phillies in the world's series is waste of time at present because neither is sure of its own pennant, and a waste of time any time because there's too much that can upset form in a seven game series. No matter who wins the Na- tional and who the American League pennant, it'’s an even thing, nothing more or less. It's worth more than ten cents to see: Dave Robertson sprint to first; Ty Cobb taking an extra base on a fumble; Herzog’'s pepper; Speaker’s pursuit of fly balls; Alexander’s hook; | Crawford pound the sphere; Snyder's ! throwing; Klem’s umplring. The Giants go west this week with the same outlook as last time—the outlook about even for finishing fifth or last. The pitching is better than it was when they headed west before and that might help in ascending a notch or so. In his short National League career Nehf of the Braves has shut out three teams, Pirates, Reds and Dodgers. His pitching ought to be considerable help to Stallings in the rush to over- haul the Phillies. H With the physical equipment they | have and the experience they are get- ting this seasan Schauer and Ritter ought to prove valuable pitchers for McGraw next year. The Yanks visit Boston before re- turning to the Polo Grounds this week. Since they went away their percentage of victories is .274—five won and fourteen laost—and the only hope for them not to return with a | & point to which Sisler has not vet | | four ball teams of Greater New York still leaner average is this you never can tell thing. For the year 1915 corded that among those who at- tended the finals as spectators only were Messrs. Behr, Ouimet, Travers, Evans, Mack and McGraw. The behavior of the Braves one day last week was not so much pep- per as pure and unadulterated rowdy- ism, but the suspemsion of Evers didn’'t matter much against the Brooklyns who were soft picking in the last two games That oversight of William Evans' in allowing a batter on whom a third strike was dropped when a runner was on first to go to the base shows that umpires as well as players can commit bones, also that the best um- pires, like the best players, are not exempt. The versatility of Mr. Sisler of the Browns sets one to raking memory to find another of that sort. Jimmy Callahan was a fine all around man He could pitch, play the in and out field up to the handle, could hit and could run like a deer. Then again, his versatilities included managing, it will be re- progressed. ““Next year Baltimore will have cne of the strongest teams in the coun- try,” says James A. Gllmaye. How does he know and where is Balti- | more going to get it from? Base- ball history shows that no matter what plans are made for strength- ening there is absolutely nc guaran- tee that a strong team will result and anybody who so predicts is efther green or the greatest seer the world ever produced. { It begins to loak strongly as if the would grand average a place in the second division at the finish.

WOMAN TENNIS CHAMP RELINQUISHES HONORS e Cleveland 5 3 5 2 and Norwegian Woman Champion Goey Down to Defeat Before Mrs, Wightman. Cedarhurst, I. L., Sept. 6.—Mrs George W. Wightman of the Long- wood Cricket club, Boston, defeated Miss Mbolla Bjurstedt of Norway, na- tional champlon, yesterday in the final round of the women’s invitation tennis tournament on the courts of the Rockaway Hunting club, Cedar- hurst. The Boston racquet wielder won in straight sets at 6-1, 6-4. It was the second time Miss Bjurstedi has been beaten in a cup match this season. Mrs. Wightman, formerly Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, one time hold- er of the Calitornia and national championships was the finalist against the Norwegian player for the nation- al championship, which she lost in three sets. A big gallery witnessed the con- test, the spectators including many of the players in the national tour- nament at Forest Hills, and Henry W. Blocum acted as referee. The showers before the match made the courts heavy, and the champion, who usually depends largely on her speed was not seen at her best. In addition she did not show the same confidence that has marked her playing since her sensational debut at the indoor chempionships at the Seventh Regi- ment Armory. Mrs. Wightman played with her old hard-hitting drives and uncovered a clever chop stroke, which discon- certed her opponent. She hammered s away at the back hand of her fa- mous adversary, always outplacing her in the rallies Miss Bjursdedt was unsteady and her attack at the net was not as successful as usual, nor as spirited. The first game of the opening set went to deuce eight times before Miss Bjurstedt won, Mrs. Wightman then overwhelmed her opponent and ran six straight games for the match, 6-1. Mrs. Wightman continued her winning streak and added three more game before losing, giving her nine | consecutive games against the cham- The latter carried the when Mrs. Wightman out the set and match.
