Cheney Buccaneers Pirates even had been stand on | their heads trying to hit his spitter, {and up to that time Carey was the i i . | | i | + only player to get a hit—a slow roller in the first inning that he beat out.

The first game belonged Dodgers right from the start. three inninzs against Cooper they pushed over four runs on five hits and a wild pitch. Slattery, another portsider, took Cooper's place and kept the visitors from tallying any more. The Pirates bunched three hits off Nap Rucker in the fifth in- to the In the ;ning and two in the ninth, each in- with the Phillies winning this year's pennant. For the second time in two | seasons Whitted and Dugey will be | in on the world’s series money and | have sent a 1nessage o “anager | George Stailings of the Boston Braves | thanking him for sending them to | Philadelphia, ‘Where Arc They Now?” “Where are they now?” asks old Doc Rice, Naming old stars that led the-pack, Peerless ever beyond all price Until Time sent them skidding back; T've read the list you ask about And cheer up, pal, there still hope For all those guys beyond a doubt Will live forever in the Dope; And some time in our grandchild's day Our ancient eyes will lamp these here— “It breaks like Matty's fadeaway’'— “The best fullback since Brickley's year”’— “He’s there—but not like John Mc- Graw'’— “He lacked McLoughlin’'s rushing pace’— “Jim Jeffries had a harder jaw”— And so on through the - sporting space. Don’t mourn for those who've found the top— They won't be lost—they’re around; It's us poor lambs who failed to cop— ‘We are the ones that can’'t be found. z. T. is still In other words, “It's better to have played and won than never to have rlayed at all.”” There's quite a bit of the solid truth in Z. T.’s versical philosophy. The fact that an entry was once good enough to have reached the top with the entire fleld below him must fur- nish the material for many a radiant dream in the vears that wait beyond, leaving a thrill that never wholly fades. i McLoughlin, at the ripe old age of eighty-four—and may he live that long—can still dream of that one summer week far back in 1914 when he overthrew Brookes and Wilding together and achieved one of the greatest lawn tennis feats of all time. And if we were Ouimet, having passed three score and ten, the time would drag while we could still play over that round against Vardon and Ray at Brookline on a September morning in the forgotten year of 1913. For it is something after all to “live forever in the Dope.”” For while the human memory may be flickle and short, the records travel on with Time, keeping even pace on against the last rim of eternity. McGraw and Mack. In this way Dape and the Record will take care of McGraw and Mack. PORT LIGHT Grantland Rice There are no checrs for them this season. Many have already forgotten the heights they once held. But Dope and the Record forget McGraw’s five pennants and Mack’s six flags, even if they never win an- other. Which they undoubtedly will. Commy’s Side of the Matter. Dear Sir: I would like to put in a word for Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, in regard to unjust charges made against him. I happen to know the Old Roman has been deeply hurt by the . criticisms ad- vanced that he was out trying to buy a pennant. Here are the facts as he gave them to me: “I have always been opposed to the practice of selli- ing or trading ball players through the playing season. I have always voted against it. But I know that I am supported by the most loyal fans in the world—the White Sox rooters cof Chicago. When these ball.players were thrown on the market I felt it to be my duty to these fans to see that I got the best men possible. When I heard that Mack was plan- ring to sell Barry I put in a bid at once, but he was sold to Boston be- fore I was given a chance. I believe with Barry the White Sox could have won, just as I figure Barry one of the main reasons for Boston’s high place. I made no attempt to tempt any owner by offering big prices. I made ne offer until the players were offered tor sale—when some one else would purchase them to use against my club Ana all the Kaiser has in Russia is 2,000,000 men. There have been any number gocd, game baftles in baseball, but none that surpassed the Phillies courage in setting the pace practic- ally all season and then defending this lead down through the stretch. For it requires as rare a courage to bcld an advantage as it doeg to come irom behind. of Pat Moran’s strategy and manager- ial genius have merely consisted in using sanc sound judgment and in keeping the morale of his club intact ali through the year, even at timeg when an old machine would have broken and slipped. If there is any- thing else in the way of managerial strategy worth very much we have failed to meet it up or down the road. There may be other games than golf that would draw out a big field, 1anging from fifty-five to eighty, into a cold, raw rain, as the Seniors’ tour- nament at Apawamis did—but also we have failed to meet them up and down the road. “Consider the Phillies of the field,” advises F. P. A. They crack not, neither do they sin, and vet not even the Mackmen in all their glory had any great edge upon the results they have produced. EBBETS CONCEDES FLAG TO PHILLIES Dedgers Owner Congratulates Phillies i But Says His Team is Best in | National League. Pittsburg, Sept. 23.—President Eb- betts, who is making the last Wes ern trip with the team, said last night: if I failed to make a bid. At all times I was operating for the inter- ests of those who had always sup- ported me, and I was willing to pay any price to see that they were given this consideration.” In my opinion Comiskey has been unjustly blamed for being the most liberal owner in the game, and the mest considerate owner for his fans. He deserves praise in place of criti- cism. B Commy has been criticised for doing what a lot of others have been pvanned for not doing—that is, spend- ing his money liberally to build up a winning club. We agree with the writer of the above that he deserves praise in place of blame—for the blame should be upon those who sell, not upon those who buy. Comiskey bas proved himself to'be an awner with whom his fans came first. If there were many more like him no one would have ever heard this query: “What is the matter with baseball?” No, Haughton hasn’t any one at all now to bulld his backfleld around ex- cept Eddie Mahan and Tom Enright. “It looks like the Phillies now- They have made a grand fight for tHe pennant and are entitled to all the glory and cash that goes with the Lonors. It is the first pennant for a National league téam in Philadel- phia in thirty-six years, and I% Moran and his men deserve all the praise that is due them. I congrat- ulate Moran and his men for putting | up such a plucky fight under such a | hard drive as he was forced to put his men. “The Brooklyn team I consider as good, if not better, than any team i the National league. This is not said with any idea of taking away any credit from Philadelphia, but I really | believe Brooklyn would have won had it some of the hreaks in its favor, but | we are going along now fighting for second place. Next year you will see the Superbas up there from the start.” Ebbets, in true sportsmanship fash- ion, concedes th: flag to the Phillies while there is still a possibility of the Dodgers copping, he is not wait- ; * ing until the chunce is beyond the reach of the Superbas to congratu- late the probable winners of the gonfalon: score: Brooklyn i Pittsburgh i | Hill and Gibson. ning being productive of a run.

Chicago, Sept. 23.—The Giants said good-by to Chicago last night with profound regret.
