Marshall, the man who brought together Packey McFarland sup- posed to prove the greatest boxing ex- hibition ever staged, issued a state- ment last night in which he mentions another bout to be held at the Bright- on Motordrome on October 1. He has not divulged the names of the fight- ers, as yet. Unless old man P. T. Barnum as right in every particular Mr. Marshall will never get another gathering of fight fans to journey all the way over to Brighton Beach and witness a fight, no matter who he has on his card. But then you never can tell, they can sell them anything liere in little old New York and no one is happy unless he is being fooled. A fight such as they put on Saturday night at the Motordrome, while in- teresting because of the great repu- tation of the fighters, would have been hissed out of Hanna's Armory if put on by two local fighters.

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 18.—The ques- tion before the house now seems to be ! about this—can the Phillies hold the lend they won back in June for an- other menth? Can the Tigers, after winding up with St. Louis, win an- Sther road pennant as they did in 1909, with something like the same sort of a ball club? Conditions confronting the two clubs mentioned are not exactly the Philadelphia has no opponent to beat that is fighting at home all this month. Detroit has. The two main Philly rivals are the Braves and Superbas. But after this week these two also swing West, where they will confront exactly the same conditions. But the Tigers must play a trifie faster on the road than the Red Sox play at home ‘bofore then can hope to send Ty Cobb same. Rudolph or Combs some four weeks hence. 1f the Phillies can maintain this lead all the way they will furnish a buttle requiring fully as much ccu-age as that shown by the Braves last fall. Most people give all credit to the run- ner that comes from behind. = They _the Tigers. dn miaintain his lead.’ Yet it requires just as' rare nerve and courage for Moran’s club to protect a scanty lead as it 4id for the Braves to climb from last placé to first. Consider the taseé for a brief mo- ment. The 'Phillles, with a club renked back in April as a joke, took the 18ad 'from the start, but lost it in May. They recovered the top in June, and for nearly three months now, with only a narrow gap between them and the c¢lub in second bplace, they have pounded along. ~All this time they have heard the hoof Dbeats of several rivals within close range. All this time thsy have been struggling with the pace, fighting off first one | aggressor and then the other, but at nc stage have they broken. They have slippe@ hete and there, but only Lo rully hefore they were caught. This takes a lot out of any club. is more of a strain than that of 1 m behind and coming on up, for there is no greater nerve tonic than to know that you are on your way while the other con- tender is slipping. But to fight on to over three months t» know that any sign of fals tering will drop you back is a heart breaker of the rarest order. Ask any golfer or any lawn .tennis piayer or any runner the difference,; they will all say that the big strain comes in setting .and maintaining the pace. And the Phillies haven’t one rival only to beat—they bhave two. The Superbas were tipped-to. break and drop back as the Pirates, the Giants and the Cubs did—but they haven't. The Braves were counted out of it three or four times, but they are still coming on and fighting hard-—still ready to take advantage of any set- back the Quakertown delegation may, receive. The Phillies might figure that one of their rivals will soon slip, but it isn’t likely that both will break to- gether. So their chance to win is not through any weakness on the part of their opponents, but through their own ability to continue for another montH as they have béen going since June. Out West they meet the same tenders as the Superbag and Braves. They will find exactly tha stme opposition along the route. On the other Hand, there will be a great psycHological advantage for either Brooklyn or Boston if they can only reach the top. b They ¢an feel that they are coming wkile their rivals are going. The strain of pace setting Yas not been upon theit shoulders—or their batting eyes. And if either ever gets ahead it is 90 cents to a nickel that said club will travel like the wind the rest of the way. The Tigers have a better phycho- logical case than the Phillies. They e in the position of the entry who has far more to gain than he has to lose. They are not being picked to v\ll)in, e- But a ball club under such conditions, where a big | fight is on, often plays better abroad than at home. On the road they are togéther around the hotel, where they ' can better continue their machine morale. It was this way for the Tigers in, 1909 and the Giants in 1911. Both, fought harder and played far better It starting fro: con- the || or: the Beptember road than they had been doing at home. The fure of world's series kalé urged thém on, and they both went out at top speed every start, fighiting for evéry foot. Deotroit has thig disadvantags. The Red Sox are a harder club to beat tha any entry in the National league —that is over a month’s stretoh. Their one big chance to fall down will Be' through over-confldence, They have the stuff and ‘no club yet has Leéen able to stop them. “They ‘are playing dimost exactly a¢ they played i 1912,” said Eddie Collins, recently. “That 18, with fine confidence every game and with fine team play, I have never séen two ciubs that looked more sitke, and Yot Gardner is the only 1912 inflelder left: Grantland Rice It’s hard to beat & club when you can't pick out a single weakness. T figure Detroit with a chance, but only in case Detroit can go to Boston and take that series. “That meeting Will be each club will figure that about $2,000 to each man. For if Boston falls before Détroit she can bardly figure any other club to stop It looks to me now ae if this series will settte the race.” wonder, for it is worth TORDHAM WILL HAVE A FAST ELEVEN Prospects Bright for Captain Dave Dunn’s Maroon Team This Season New York, Sept. 13.—The first move of the coming football season at Fordham university, was made yester- day when Captain Dave Dunn an- nounced that regular, gridiron prac- tice would start at Fordham Field on Tuesday. All the veterans of last year's team and all the incoming freshmen who have played any foot- ball have been notified to be on hand and indications point to the biggest squad ever assembled on the Bronx gridiron. The undergraduate depart- ment opened today, while the profes- sional schools start their sessions late next week. In former years this dif- ference in the opening dates caused considerable delay In getting the hard work started, but Manager Joe Dodin has been assured that most of the playérs in the law atid medical de- partments will be in uniform on Tues- day. < i i x A change fs ‘@¥peécted in the Maroon coaching system this year with the ad- vent of Harry Vaughn, the old Yale football star, as director of the Bronx gridiron destinfes.

As | @ nucleus for his defense he will have from the 1914 team N, Conklin and J. Conklin, guards; May and Muleahy, tackles, and Corridon at end.
