New York, Sept. 14.—If the Giants fvere in the Pacific Coast league just bt present Gotham fans could not be blamed if they started to get busy with pencil, a pad of paper and the eague standing and did a little figur- ng. To elucidate, the coast league kchedule calls for 208 games, and a fleficit of 9 1-2 games at this season bf the year is not necessarily a ser- ous matter. Unfortunately the Na- jonal league as usual decided to fight heir 1916 campaign in 154 games. The new Glant steam roller still is Irolling on. It squeezed Matty’s Reds Iall over the Polo Lawn yesterday until Inotning but a big red spot was left. In he first game of a double header Fer- | die Schupp goose-egged the Cincinnatt | boys by a score of 3.to 0. In the second event the Reds abused the Jeather a little more vigorously, but B batch of five runs in the first inning put the home guard on Easy street, | the Giants winning 6 to 4. There now | are eight links In the fall streak of the McGraw men. To some it may seem as though the Giants are treating the venerabl Chris Mathewson with poor hospita jty, but then Matty has no kick com- ! fng. He tortured the Reds for man: years before he w ed to Herr- mann’s village. However, Big Six is to get a little balm before he leaves us.

Buck came up in the second canto and belted the ball to the left fleld fence for three hassocks, thus keeping his precious successive game hitting record intact. Following that first three sack wal- Jop in the second frame Wheat singled “goper in the sixth and thumped e triple in the eighth.

Philadelphia, Sept. 14.—Harvard's prospects for retaining both the sin- | eod Leonard Beekman, i star, in the third round of the singles | mound in the opening inning and add- | ed three more runs in the fifth, when gles and the doubles championships of the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis soclation were considered excellent as the result of yesterday's matches in the annual tournament on the courts of the Merion Cricket club. G. Golket Caner of Harvard defeat- the Princeton section: and will meet Jerry Weber, the Yale captain, in one of the semi- final matches today. Caner’'s team mate, John S. Pfaff- man, won from Arthur 8. Coffey, Princeton, and meets Eugene Warren of the University of Southern Califor- nia in the other semi-final of the sin- gles. Caner and Richard H. Harte, defeated Beekman and Philip Vandeventer of Princeton in the opening round of the doubles, while the other Crimson pair, Whitehouse and Pfaffman, eliminated Weber and Stoddard of Yale. This result was more or less of a surprise. The Caner-Beekman match was the feature event of the day and was watched by a large gallery. Beekman outguessed Caner in the first set and won by the score of 6-4. In the second and third sets, hcw long back caurt drive working accuracy and precision and proceeded to play Beekman off his feet. Caner avenged vesterday’s defeat of Harte hy Beekman. Praffman scored an easy victory over Coffey in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. Weber's victory by 7-5, 6-4 over Blair of Carnell was much closer than is in- | dicated by the score, cvery game went to times before it was finished. as practically Bugene Warren, the sole surviving | California entrant, won from Sidney Thayer, j the last of the University of Pennsylvania racquet wielders to reach the third round. Thayer won the first set by clever passing when ‘Warren would dash up to the net in Pacific coast style. But in the second and third sets the westerner acquired control of Tis short court drives and dropped them jnst inside instead of just outside the court. This steadiness was main- tained throughout the last twa sets. Thayer really never after Warren settled down. ACOSTA BREAKS LEG. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14.—M. Acos- ta, Cuban outfielder of the Minneapolis American association baseball club, broke his left leg at the ankle, in slid- ing home during the third inning of the Columbus-Minneapolis game to- day.

Former Athletics Star is Being Men- tioned as Carrigan’s Successor. New Haven, Sept. 14.—Danny Mur- Phy, manager of the New Haven club and former big league star, is being considered by President Lannin of the Boston Red Sox as a successor to Bill Carrigan, who plans to retire as lead- er of the team at the end of the sea- son. It is understood that Lannin has four men under advisement, Patsy | Donovan, Jack Barry, Heinie Wagner and Danny Murphy. Lannin regards Murphy very highly and if Carrigan makes good his threat to retire, the final selection will in all probability be the local manager. . It is not belicved that Owner Col- lins of the New Haven team will stanq ar: self. While here, Murphy has made a host of friends who respect him both on and off the field. CUT IT OUT. Memphis, Sept. 14.—Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Battling Levinsky of New York fought eight rounds here last night to a draw. Both men boxed cleverly and neither was severely pun- ished.

Not that Jake has any seriaus ten-year intentions as a league leader, but he is the closest thing to Ty at bat that the older cir- cuit has. led his league in 3 1914. Larry Doyle ousted him last vear, but Jake back in the lead again, . with Hornsby, Chase and Wag- ner bunched at his heels.
