For three years he remained with that team until his seputation as a lons distance sticker came to the notice of the Philadelphia management, and modified by the announcement that Buzz Law is ill at present and will not be able to play for a week or two, while Eberstadt is eliminated gcod because of parental objections.

Detroit and Brooklyn or Boston may yet meet in the forthcoming world series, and tomorrow some one may slip us a million, minus an I. O. uU. John Reilly, the Yale star, has launched out as a subway guard rather than play professional base- Lall. Whereas there are any number of fine subway guards who have launched their carcers the other way. Red Sox Strength. One esteemed critic has figured it out_that Red Sox pre-eminence in the pennant race is due to fine defensive | strength—great pitching and fine | fielding. This doesn’t cover the entire { scheme of things. The Red Sox be- | yond the gray ghost of a doubt have | the finest defensive ball club in the geme. They have always had four or five star pitchers in shape, while their | infield and outfield have backed up | this pitching in worthy style. But the Red Sox are also second in club batting, with an average of .264 | against .266 for the Tigers—a deficit of only two points. And this batting strength has been more evenly scat- | tered, for while Cobb, Crawford and Veach have been pounding the 'ball | above normal altitudes, the mext. | Tiger regular is Vitt, down around .252. When Cobb, Crawford and Veach were turned back Detroit's power was crushed. But the Red Sox have had half a dozen men likely to insert the winning wallop at any stated moment. Detroit has three men among the ten { leading sluggers, while Boston has l:)ln. one. But Boston has five men batting above .260, exclusive of four pitchers who range between .280 and .300. With the best pitching staff in baseball, the Red Sox are second in batting and tied for first in fielding. which means that the Red Sox have reached and held the top through all around efficiency rather than power or speed in any one department. Brooklyn’s Chance. If some wise judge had framed a law making it illegal for Brooklyn to take a western trip the Dodgers would now be seventeen lengths be- yond the field. Playing through the East they have moved along with a combination of grandeur and pep. But the white bleached bones of their dream have been scattered thick along the West- ern plains. On their first Western jaunt the Dodgers lost ten out of twelve starts. They tore the Eastern roadbed into shreds, but again out West they were stopped with one of those thuds that | the novelist frequently calls “dull and sickening.” Having recovered this ground at home once more — Or most of it—even by taking three in a row from the Phillies, they have again been unable to get a toe-hold | upon Western sod. Which accounts for the fact that Colonel Ebbe%s is | |looking so earnestly for the sooth- | sayer who first said: “Go West, young | man.” The Brave Barrier, The Braves won a pennant last fall | through fine fighting, fine pitching and a club average of .252. They have had good pitching and they have fought well this season, ! but with a batting average of .237, | ten points below the next batting | club, they will not have to travel any extended distance to find out their in- ability to repeat. The White Sox won a pennant with a batting average of .221. But they stand as the only club ever developed able to use one hit for the manufac- ture of two runs. “When is an amateur not an amateur?’—Exchange. Offhand, we should say, very frequently. We'd fall for the Fed proposition to meet the world series winner much harder if it wasn’'t for the fact that we'd like to see at least one football game before Thanksgiving Day. The | Feds have made a sportsmanlike proposition, but the thought of ex- tending baseball against the edge of | November is hardly likely to work | anybody in a froth of excitement. | Baseball should be cut down a month ! or so rather than suffer an extension. ]\ Still, we can hardly wait for late autumn to arrive in order to peruse | the daily scores of the two picked clubs that are scheduled to tour the West with the big series. It is only by force of an iron will that we can restrain ourselves until this barn- storming series swings under way. Yale football prospects are begin- ning to look up early, for not even Charley Brickley can stand at Johns i nell-Harvard | games at least three important points | Philadelphia | Buffalo | | Hopkins and kick a field goal in | Cambridge. o LIGHT Ay Grantland Rice There will be no Michigan-Harvard affair this season, but the opportunity ! for a wonderful argument is at hand with Cornell meeting both. By using the comparative scores in the Cor- and Cornell-Michigan can be proved beyond doubt:— 1. That Michigan is better than Harvard. 2. That Harvard Michigan. That comparative than nothing at all. is better than scores mean le: ‘Hughey, Ty and Sam made a game, : gallant stab for the top, which gets them exactly 0 and 0 per, cent, of the world series split.

SEVENTEEN MEN CAN'T STOP TYGERS Connie Macl(—TrTes Out a Numbér of Rookies—Cobb Features Philadelphia Sept. 22.—In a weird ball game Detroit won the first of they series from the Athletics yesterday By 7 to 5. Manager Mack used seven- teen men, having five pitchers in the game. Of these Nabors made the best #howing, Detroit made twice as many errors as the Athletics, but they were not as costly as the home team’s. Cobb’s hitting and base running fea- tured.

Ray Caldwell ably handled by Alexander, the best catcher the Yankees have had in ten years was torn down from behind by an avalanche of swats. Pien hogtied Koob one of the most prom- ising young tossers of the season, a 3 to 0 score in the first game of the double header . at the Polo grounds. Sims fresh from the shub- bery of Charleston, W , outpitched the renowned Slim Caldwell in the second game. Sim didn’t go as far as Slim. Weilman relieved him in the seventh.
