Jimmy Archer’s last season in the big leagues. The Cubs’ star catcher, it is said, intends | to wuit the diamond to go into busi- ness this winter and will not return to the Chicago club.

To which might be added another big hit by Messrs. Mack and McGraw entitled “Twin Beds.” Sporting Capitals. Last season Boston was the sport- ing capital of America. This eminent citadel of Culture and the Clout—of Wisdom and the Wallop—main- tained the world series champions in baseball; the football championship with Harvard and the golf cham- plonship with Ouimet. Having lost the golf championshipp, she still has a lusty poke at the base- ball and football round-up. But a new sporting capital is now looming uypon the fairly well known horizon. N0, it isn't New York and it isn't Chicago. The name is Philadelphia. Smearing an Old Gag. It has been an ancient custom to josh Boston for her innate culture und Philadelphia for her alleged somnolence. But the fact remains that in the realm of red-blooded affairs where sport runs riot, or in the realm of sportive affairs where red blood runs riot, Boston and Philadelphia take the lead. i Where does Philadelphia enter? Well, she has had her share of world championships. For 1915 she may soon have another shot at the same. And there is now a practical certainty that either the amateur lawn tennis championship or the golf champion- ship will be awarded for 1916 to the Merion Cricket club. It is in this latter respect that Philadelphia is in what a number of more learned folks than we call a quandary. She would like to have the lawn tennis championship. Possibly she can get it. She would like to have the amateur golf championship. Almost to a certainty she can get it. Archer 1o Forsake Diamond For Business Is Report I} : National league, and although Man- ager Roger Bresnahan has been doing splendid work behind the bat for his team this year, Archer’'s services will be greatly missed. Fans hope that Jimmy will reconsider his determina- tion to quit and will be on hand next year. Grantlend Rice But it isn’t likely she can have both unless the dates are changed from the arrangements of the present year. Which calls to mind the suggestion that for 1916 those in charge see that the lawn tennis and golf champion- ships be billed for =separate dates. LDoth for 1916 will be held in the East, and there are any number of sport loving citizens who would like to see Toth, In addition to which each sport would get a better play and at- tract keener interest if separate dates were arranged. “Don’t you think,” writes Sideliner, “that despite the fact Johnston beat both Williams and McLoughlin the latter two are the better players?” Johnston {s amateur lawn tennis champion of America. That alone ranges beyond any opinion of any srgument. Credit for Moran, Sir: Don't you flgure that if Moran wins the National league pen- | nant this season, he will deserve even more credit than Stallings got last vear? Remember, that from the Phillies of 1913, Moran lost Seaton, Lobert, Mageec, Doolan, Knabe, Brennan and one or two others. He lost most of his stars—yet put team on top. Isn't this about the leading baseball achievement of the lest ten years? W. H: 'G. Moran deserves all the credit there is, but the only chance Philadelphia ecver had to win a National league pennant was in dispersing about two- thirds of that colony you speak of. The bunch could play baseball, but the only drawback was that it weuuldn't. It was the hardest bunch to handle in the game. We doubt very much whether Napoleon, Joffre, Von Hindenburg and McGraw could have driven that 1913 Philly clan be- vend a sluggish canter. Moran'’s present line-up hasn’t as much abilit, but far more ambition. His present cian has refused to quit under fire, where the old Philly delegation went around with a searchlight and a pair of fleld glasses looking for a chance to blow. Maxims of the Nineteenth Hole, My son, they shall say to thee: eep thine eyes upon the ball.” his | But in that they shall err gravely. For the mind directeth the eye, and it is the mina alone thou shouldst tocus upon the pernicious little pill. Alexander is to get $2,000 extra if he Wwins thirty games. We'll take the ticket from him at $1,950 any day between now and October 1, He only needs three more with twenty-twa games to play. e i ‘Which brings to mind the point that Big Alec is the only slabman extant with a chance to bag thirty games. Most of the others are within a short peg or two of thirty defeats. On the Other Paw, “Where are they now?” vou ask Of champs who’ve blown; Of those who used to bask Upon the throne; Hail then Phils, Dodgers, Braves, Give them “Here's How''— Once they were abject slaves— Where are they now? PLATO PETE. There is no blighting that fails to leave its balm. If baseball interest | should sag we will have no more ticket speculating and no lusty roar from around the land to secure from four to. eleven tickets each for the next world series.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.—What downfall for the former mighty World’s champions! The Athietics who still are champions of the Amer- ican League, have had crowds that the management has been compelled to resort bush league tactics to collect a few stray jitneys. There was no American League same here yesterday, neither will here be today. Yesterday's schedul- ed game with St. Louis was played in | . forced double-header last Saturday, vhile another artificial double-head- r wil be created next Saturday, when nday's scheduled game with Cleve- 1nd will be played. In the meantime the Athletics are a short barn-storming trip, pick- up jitneys from the yokels in olaware and Maryland. These are he Athletics who in their fifteen- ‘ear career in Philadelphia have won 1 league pennants, three World's Championships, and until this year have only finished twice in the sec- end division.
