The City Bowling league starts ac- tion tonight at the Aetna alleys with six strong nad evenly balanced jteams. The league is schedule for each.Tues- day night, excepting Christmas week, up to January 11. The Live Oak team, which won first place in last year's City league, is Cap- tained by “Ric.” Richter, last seas.n’s high average man, and has three of last year’s team and two recruits in Cage and Middleton, The Annex, who last season won second place, is practicaly the same, captained by Joe Foote. The Tigers, composed of well- known football players, with Ed. .\n- derson as anchor, is a strong aggre- gation. i Ed. Prior, captain of the Elites, and Semple are jumpers from the last season’s Live Oaks, and Clark of this team was high average man of the Mercantile league. The Wanderers, captained by “Wila Bill” Brenneke, and the Tribunes, with Rogers for anchor, have several strong bowlers and while new to the City league give promise of giving the older bowlers a run.for the money. ‘Wanderers.

In all Walsh has carded a fifteen round star bout between Danny Ridge aad Paul Edwards, lightweights, a ten round semi-final between Joe Rocco and Young Fulton featherweights and the usual preliminaries. The fifteen round tilt between Ridge and Edwards should be a hummer as both lads are agsressive every inch and never stop fighting.

Philadelphia, Sept. 28.—In spite of the fact that Quaker City fandom is enthused over the prospects of the approaching world’s series as perhaps it never before has been excited, the city in its joy for Moran's success has entirely forgotten Connie Mack’s Athletics. This team, Which' prought four pennants to this city in the last five years, has been forced, through lack of patronage, to transfer two of its games to Washington. The games of Wednesday and Thursday, which the Senators and Athletics were to have played here, have heen moved to the Capital City. Even during its most striking success, the local American League team never was so popular as the Phillies. Connie Mack losi a small fortune in 1914 in spite of the fact that his club figured in the world's series with the Braves. ‘When the one time pennant trust fell into decay this season, the city turned in a body to the succeesful Phillies. Since Mack’s team came home from a long road trip last Labor Day, patronage at Shibe Park has dwindled to a pitiful handful. No mare than 200 today to see the final game with the ‘White Sox. SOX ARE FAVORITES. Betting Herc in Metropolis Offer 6 to 5 on Carrigan’s Team. New York, Sept. 28.—Now that the Boston Red Sox and the Phillies have practically clinched the pennants in their respective leagues, betting on the World’s Series is under way. The Red Sox have been made 6-to-5 fa- vorites, and Fred Schumm has sev- eral commissions to place at those odds. Schumm also has $300 at evens that Prooklyn beats out the Braves for second place in the National, and $200 to "$100 the Giants finish last. PIRATES RELEASE COLLINS. Pittsburg, Sept. 28.—President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Na- tional League club announced yes- terday that Edgar Collins, an outfield- er, had been released by the waiver route to ‘the Boston Braves. GLENDALES PRACTICE. The Glendales will practice at Landers play grounds, this evening at 8 o'clock. Last year the Glendales held the championship of the city and was considered one of the fast- est teams in the state. All of last years team and any other candidates wishing to try on the team will re- port to Mgr. Burns tonight. paid ! Ce Y With Apologies. With Grover Alexander The Phils are safe from harm; They have the proper armor— With the accent on the “arm.” Laughing, Larruping Larry Returns. This hag been a dull, gray year for . | the New York Giants—a year as gray | and cold as the winter winds now forming for their sweep across the tussian steppes. It has been a campaign that long 2go0 got away from even the genius of Johh J. McGraw—a Wwinner of five flags within twelve seasons. But through all this dreariness there have been two radiant spots for ithose who follow the fortunes of the aforesaid Giants. One has been the grand campaign that Fred Merkle, the much makgned, has put away— one of the best years for all around value that any ball player ever knew. And the other has been the dash- ing return of laughing, larruping Larry Doyle. : Doyle vs. Luderus. Doyle is one of the fine characters of baseball—a big hearted Irishman who lives his game beyond any money it might make for him. It was Doyle who said that if he were worth a million he would still play ball—be- cause a miilion could never buy him the fun that baseball brought. And after Larry’s bad year in 1914 those who know him are rooting lustily for him to lead the National lcague this fall at bat—especially as Luderus, his main rival, will enjoy the glory and kale of a world series wind-up. Doyle and Luderus started the pres- ent week only one point apart. The Philadelphia slugger was batting .320, while Doyle was poised at .319. ‘With eight games to play, the bat- ting finish between these two leaders in the Land of Swat should be the most interesting session of the Na- tional league, now that the flag race is over and the hurly-burly has sub- sided. These two will bat and battle for the throne held by Jake Daubert for two campaigns, although Jake still has a bare chance to maintain his reign by batting heavily at the finish. Daubert at present is twelve points away—a tough handicap with only a week to travel. Watching Out for Harvard. There have been rumors that before autumn had passed into winter Percy Haughton would join McGraw, Mack, McLoughlin, Ouimet, Williams and one or two other champions sent to the shadows for a vear’s rest. But these Tumors may have been scmewhat exaggerated. Unless both Yale and Princeton, also Cornell, are well beyond last season's form, Har- vard will bear some very intimate watching. First class men are plenti- ful in the Crimson line with Soucy, Cowan, Biglow, Coolidge and Parson wearing the harness. And how much better back field materia] does a keen instructor need than Mahan, Me- Kinlock, Enwright, King and Watson? Harvard football fortunes were sup- rosed to be at comparatively low ebb through the passing of Hardwick, Erickley, Pennock and oters, but by November the 1915 Crimson machine will be only a short stride back of last year’s great array, if early season prospects may be taken at a price round ten cents a hogshead. Yale will undoubtedly be better than a year ago—and so will Prince- ton. Yale, because her material looks better and Hinkey’'s open game - will have had a sSeason’s test under fire. Princeton, because in Rush she has a leader who looks to be the man that Nassau has been looking for these last ten years. Maxims of the 19th Hole. My son, there is one thing thy mind can mark well—that he that taketh much time over his shots and standeth rigidly above his ball is a duffer, was o duffer, and always will be a duffer, though he play for 900 years. He that fusseth over his shots is an abomination and a scourge, and it were better for all concerned that a millstone were tied around his neck and he were dropped fathoms deep in the nearest water hazard. Phillies and Red Sox will spend this week getting upon edge for the big series.” Contemp. So they may do some sharp flelding or, rather, that they may be able to cut away a lead? Catching vs, Speed. Ty Cobb will lead the ieague this season in base stealing, with from 95 to ‘100 pilfers to his credit. In addition to Cobb, there will be at least four others—Maisel, Shot- ten, Colline and Milan—who will steal above 40 bases. Yet Max Carey, of Pittsburg, who is well below these five, will lead the National league around the towpaths. Five American leaguers will outromp Carey. Does this mean that the Na- tional league is well ahead in back- stopping—or that the National hasn't a base runner to class with the first five in the American? The second guess is closer to the ccrrect reply. Cobb, Maisel, Collins, “The American Shotten and Milan also would be the Grantland Rice five, leading base runners in the other circuit if they were ever shifted. They stand as the main class of the iwo fields. Those who believe that interest in baseball is fading to the gray ash are evidently in no position to secure world series tickets for various friends. Otherwise they would figure baseball interest at its whitest heat. The esteemed Mackmen—by all rival clubs—are now on the verge of losing more games in a season than they ever won. There are eight or a dozen methods of setting a new record. INELIGIBLES RULES OUT. Players For Captain “Dave” Dunn's Squad Feels Heavy Hand of Faculty. New York, Sept. 8.—'Hank” Miles has been declared ineligible for the Fordham eleven. Miles had been chosen for tackle an the first team and had been putting up a fine game in practice. He came to Fordham this year from Washington and Lee and on coming out for the Bronx team claimed that he was still eligible to play.. However, after inquiry it was asserted by Physical Director Pallock of Washington and Lee that Miles was ineligible, having won his insignia in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914. As Shea a former Springfield col- lege player who also was a candi- date for the tackle position was de- clared ineligible last week, Ford- ham will have to depend on May and Mulcahy to fill in the tackle po- sitions this year. They were both regular tackles a year ago, but Miles and Shea had the benefit of more col- lege experience. Another man to feel the sting of the new athletic index system at Fordham yesterday was Oft, former halfback at Colgate. In company with Genesse, centre on Colgate last Fall, Oft tried to enter the Fordham Medical School- but they were both found to be lacking several essentials for matriculation, MAY PLAY IN BOWL. Building Regulations in Hub City May Cause Transfer of Big Game. Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 28.—Un. less the Bullding Commissioner of Boston changes his attitude toward allowing the Harvard Athletic As#oey clation to build temporary wooden stands across the open end of the stadium for the Harvard-Yale foots ball game on No. 20, the mateh will not be played here, but will be staged in the Yale Bowl at New Ha- ven, where it was played a year ago. Treasurer Fred Moore of the Har- vard A. A. made this announcemen yesterday. 4] The Harvard Stadium scats only 22,000 people and if no temporary seats were allowed the Crimson would have only 11,000 seats to fll 17,000 more applications, - Boston's new building laws are very strict, or at least they are in- terpreted strictly. Until within & few days ago Mr. Moore belleved that he could secure permission to build the additional temporawy stands, but he is unable to get final assurance.| There are 70,000 seats in the bowl at New Haven, and the management here figures that, even if it paid the expenses of all the un« dergraduates to and from the game at New Haven, it would have a profit of $30,000 more than if the game were played in the stadium on diers Field. A month is needed to build the wooden stands and unless | permission is granted to do so within three weeks the game will be shifted to the New Haven field. SOX AND CUB SERIES, Magnates of Clubs Arrange Post Seas son Series To Begin Oct. 6, Chicago, Sept. 28.—The an series of baseball games for the championship of Chicago will begin on Wednesday, October 6. The first game will be played at the Americkn} League grounds. ] President Comiskey of the Sox and President Thomas of the National Leaguers arranged the details yesters day and, as was forecast, ignored the request of the Federal League to make the series three c¢ornered. The, schedule provides for seven games.
