His shortstop work is as sen- sational and fully up to the class of Maranville, the elcctric little short fielder, of the Braves during 1914.

Baseball Captain For Two Succeeds Quinby. Seasons New Haven, Conn., Sept. 9.—With the resignation two weeks ago af Frank Quinby, the Yale baseball head coach, and it was stated last night on good authority that the choice of the committee would be John T. Blossom, who was captain of the . team in 1913 and 1914. Blossom lives in Cleveland, but has been in business in New York City for sev- eral months. He came to Yale from the Taft School, Watertown, and played shortstop three seasons. The | questian of selecting Quinby’'s suc- cessor and of handling the baseball sitaution was placed in charge of a committee consisting of Captain Ar- { thur Milburn, Lou Middlebrook, who | was captain last season; Walter F. Carter, 1885, and George B. Case, | 1894. Their selection aof Blossom will not be announced officially, it was stated last night, till after the opening of the Fall term at Yale. Burnie Tommers, who has been ce of the Yale pitchers for two seasons, Will probably be again chosen in this capacity. Penn's Practise.

Eoosting the winner is an easy job; Crowning the victor is an play— 0Old as the plaudits for a guy named Cobb, Edging but little from the rtoutine way; We might say little, or we might say much, But here rests the answer when the varn is done— ‘When raw fate gripped you with its tightest clutch, You came from behind and won. They went for you from the best of fields, Making you battle till the sun sank low: They gave you chances where the coward vields, Thoy rushed the fighting first hard blow; They got the jump in spin, But here rests the answer whex the yarn is done, Here stays the test with the count all in— You came from behind and won. Various rivals obtained the jump on T'ob Gardner. But the new golf champion weathered all gales and won out. Both Williams and McLoughlin got the jump on yvoung Johnston—and hoth had won championships before. RBut Johnston is amateur lawn tennis champion of this gold-stocked (where is it?) commonwealth, It either Gardner or Johnston had possessed a weak heart neither would be ruling his realm today. The answer is tten upon the heights they have with the the opening ! reached. Extending the Upset. So many upsets in golf and lawn tennis have come of late—so many champions—Travers, Ouimet, Me- Toughlin and Williams—have been trimmed—that those ten davs ago picking the Red Sox and Phillies as sworld series certainties are begin- ning to exhibit vearnings for a process known as hedging. The fact that the Yanks were good erough to peel the hide off the Red Sox, in place of peeling the Sox off the hide, as one naturally does these clammy days—has Jjarred a certain amount of faith to make jany cinch of it. The Red Sox are still prevailing favorites, but the “forcgone conclusion” has been canned. A whirlwind romp through the East by the Tigers will take the championship issue to Fenway Park when these two meet. And the Tigers sre fully capable of such a rush, freshly inspired by the recent Red Sox break. Any club that wins the N. L. pen- nant will formulate the main aspect of an upset—as none of the maln eontenders would be ranked as the moest wonderful ball club that ever played the game. All three have Deen counted out of It—and counted back on so many occasions that fur- ther comment, pending a few results from the West, will be futile. They have taken so many turns at slipping and climbing back that it would be no surprise to see all three become dizzy and drop as far back as the compact fleld behind them will per- mit.

The reign of the few has given way to the reign of the field, When such eminent artists as McLoughlin, Williams, Travers, Oui- met and Evans can all be disposed of in less than a weck’'s time the great growth of championship play can be understood.
