DETROIT HAS CINCHED AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT
EDITED BY
P.H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITINO,
Well, Detroit deems to have ‘‘got it and gone.”
Unless the almost-impossiblc is pulled off, Hughey Jennings’
team has won the American League pennant and will have the
privilege of playing with the Chicago Nationals for the world’s
baseball championship.
Those last big games ought to be the real thing. The Chi
cago team, as was the case with it last year, has had a cinch and
Will enter the championship series with every man in condition
and ready to do the nest that is in him.
And the Tigers, well they are worn to a frazzle—as were the
Sox last year—by the strcnuosity of a most ferocious campaign.
Last fall there was nothing in sight but the Cubs. Charley
Murphy’s team seemed to Iibvc every possible advantage.
And yet we all reeall that the dope took an nwful cropper
and the Sox won the championship.
And this year! Well, it is a large and lusty problem. But
somehow it, looks as though the Tigers had a nice chance. If they
do npt celebrate their victory over the Athletics too vigorously
they will certainly be in the running. For they have a team of
batters, fielders and bnse runners—nnd they hnve the mighty Ty
Cobb, the greatest outfielder in America today—if not the great
est player.
Dear old New Orleans, the town with far less baseball fans
than Atlanta, is out with a request that some of the world’s cham
pionship games be played there. Wouldn’t that upset your
stomach t
The pitiful efforts of that burg to get some baseball notoriety,
that its own team haB not—of late years—been able to afford it,
are sickening.
Columbia, S. C., Gulfport, Miss., St. Charles, La., and Dallas,
Texas, will next be lienrd from in regard to their desire for some
of those championship games.
The Carter & Gillespie team, which hns paraded this year ns
an amateur organization, appeared at Ponce DeLeon Wednesday
to play for the city AMATEUR championship with Jim Fox, Jim
Ison nnd Tommy McMillan on the line-up.
That was very poor business.
With the line-up that gave them the City League champion
ship they would have had no trouble in winning the game and by
adding three acknowledged professionals to their team—one a
member of the Atlanta team and the other good enough to be
drafted by Brooklyn—they mado a farce of what might have been
a reasonably close contest; and thus gave a black eye to “ama
teur” baseball as played in the City League.
Manager Thomas of the Sun Proof team would almost have
been justified in refusing to play against such n team, but de.
serves credit for going through with the gnftie, even in the face
of certain defeat. Ho thus proved himself to be n good sports
man and put all the discredit for n decidedly bad-looking per
formance up to the management of the Carter & Gillespie team.
When Miss Jeancs left $3,000,000 to Swarthmore College pro
vided that institution would give up forever all participation in
intercollegiate athletics, she opened up- a nice question—as to
whether n college cares more for money or athletics.
And thero can bo but one answer. Tho Jennas estate can
have its old three millions. Athletics are as much a part of a col
lege course now ns mathematics and the classics and any anno col
lege is as likely to drop one as the other.

BBT TEAMS IN BOTH LEAGUE
WILL MEET FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Hasn’t Always Happened
That Way in Years
Past.
' By 8AM CRANE.
New York, Oct I.—Cash In on De
troit, boys.
While one enn figure that the Ath
letics can win the pennant If they win
every same from now on and If the
Detrolts lose every game, or otherwise
drop dead, etlll to look at the situation
sensibly, Hughey Jennings' vest pocket
le already bulging out with the old
bunting.
In other words, the only betting that
Is now up to date Is to wngcr either
on the Tigers or the Chicago Cubs for
tho world's championship.
My own best bet on that proposition
will be kept In cold storage until their
meeting for the baseball supremacy of
the universe.
But I am willing to state openly and
publicly Hint I think the Tigers are the
one best team In the American League
capable of giving the National League
winners the stllfest light.
In other words, I think the Tigers are
the best In the country. They are not
"accidentals." The winners of one or
two American pennants heretofore have
not nppenled to me ns being the best or
the strongest team In that league or the
ones that I would select to ropresent
the organization for premier honors.
What I am trying to arrlvo at Is that
the two strongest teams In both the
National and American Leagues will
meet this fall to light It out for the
championship of the world.
Crane Concedes American
League Pennant to
Detroit.
There la no more doubt of the De
troit* being entitled to the top notch
position in the American league race
than there Is for the Cubs* supremacy
In the National. There have been
doubts before, but there Is not one this
year. Consequently this season’s se
ries between the Cubs and the Tigers
should afford an unmistakable and
convincing conclusion as to the merits
of the two leagues, not as organiza
tions, but os to the Individual classes
they represent.
DETROIT WINS TWO AND
THUS CINCHES PENNANT
Washington, Oct. S.—By winning both game, of ye.terday'a double-
header, the Detroit team practically won the American League pennant. The

NEW ORLEANS WANTS SOME OF
CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES-BAH!
New Orleans. Oct. 3.—Whether he
succeeds or not. Secretary Hetnemann
Is going to make a bluff at bringing
the two best baseball teams In the
world to New Orleans to play two or
three games of the world'* champion
ship series.
Secretary Hetnemann Is on his way
to Chicago, and he hopes to Induce
President Murphy, of the Cubs, to use
lilt Influence toward having the Cube
and Tigers play n part of their eertee
In this city.
It le said Mr. Hetnemann will make
President Murphy and the national
commission a guarantee of a dally at
tendance of 20,000 and a Sunday at
tendance ot 25,000. The locel secretary
believes a seating capacity of 25,000
can be made at Athletic Park.
Manager Frank had nothing to say paper.
this morning, except that Mr. Helne-
mann was trying to land one or two
games for this city. t
The Pelican club has performed sev
eral ettunts of this character worthy
of notice, one of the most recent of
which was the bringing together In this
oily of the Giants and Athletics, who
fought for the world's championship In
1905. It would not be surprising to
the fans If Secretary Hetnemann suc
ceeded In arranging a spring series
between the Cubs and Tigers for next
year. It Is not believed he will succeed
In having any of the worid'e series
played here.

Mr. Bluks. the attorney, had a new «te-
nographer, a girl with big blue eyes and
plenty of yellow hair.
He finished looking over the sporting
pages, for Mr. Hlnka was nothing If not a
baseball rooter, nnd then colled for his new

careful to transcribe It exactly at I rtlr-

Mr. Blnka had a habit of thinking aloud,
nnd to show how much bis thoughts were
on the letter he dictated, we give below

JUST ABOUT SUNDAY
STORIES
A story printed In several Sunday paper*
has It that the Detroit players, notwith
standing their great dash for the pennant
pole, are not popular with the other clubs
of the American I-cogue. The reason ad
vanced Is that Jennings' team has tried to
win games without much regard ns to the
sportsmanlike qualities of their methods.
Here In New York, where Jennings nnd
Ills Tigers lire popular among the Hilltop
rooters (despite the fact that the Detroit
club was Inrgely responsible for putting
the Highlanders out of It last fnlb, stud!
statements will not he taken too seriously.
Naturally enough, the Detroit players ore

Another Sunday atory deals with the
bonus system as practiced this season In
Detroit, and states that the cash prises of
fered to Mullen, Killian and Donovan hnve
stimulated these pitchers to more than nor
mal activity. The system, continues the
Sunday scribe, has met with little favor In
Detroit, and will not lie used another sea
son. In looking over the record* of the He-
trolt twJrJers it would seem that the s.rs-
of giving a lmnus to a winning pitch-
should grow In popularity with every-
body except the players that are not pitch
ers and the pitchers that are not winners.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 3.—The
Memphis baseball team began a eerles
ot exhibition games here today with a
team ot seml-protesslonals, managed
by Frank Molfett, of Knoxville.
This Is the flrst Southern League
team that has played In Chattanooga
since the yellow fever drove the
Shreveport team here for a email part
of a season, and the Memphis boys
will doubtless gather In a goodly bunch
of money on the series.
Chattanooga's chance of getting .Into
the Southern League seems very poor
at present, but there le plenty of money
available to buy a franchise If /oppor
tunity ever offers, and local lovers of
the game have not abandoned hope en

CLEMSON HASN’T RECOVERED
FROM THAT GORDON SHOCK
son-Gordon game did not turn out aa
moat Clemson supporters expected.
It was generally known here that
Gordon has a husky team, and that
Frank Blake Is a hustling coach, but
the Tiger camp was hardly prepared
for such a fine article as the Barnes-
ville boys exhibited.
Certainly the Clemson squad expect
ed to make four or five touchdowns,
nnd to do that without any great exer
tion.
Either Gordon Is far stronger than
ever before or Clemson Is much weak-
It should be remembered, how
ever. that Clemson has been practicing
only a very short while, and that this
first game was a week earlier than
flrst games have been played In pre
vious seasons.
Coach Shaughnessey, while not sat-
lafled with the showing hls team made
against Gordon, Is glad that the weak
apots have been shown up, and has
set to work heroically to make these
weak places strong.
Clemson's next game will be with
Maryville, October 9, on the Clemson
grounds. Maryville made a most re
markable record last year by playing
so many strong teams In succession
and making a good showing In each
game. Clemson would not relish being
pounded by a prep team, hence she Is
working diligently.
