After Big Battles
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Four of the
leading heavyweights met Manager Gib
son in the Garden yesterday and vainly
tried to arrange matches. Ounboat
Smith was ready to sign articles to box
Frank Moran, but the latter refused to
post a $1,000 forfeit which caused a
hitch. _ _
Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette were
apparently ready to agree upon terms,
but when Gibson produced pen and ink
Langford's manager, Joe Woodman,
could not be found. Gibson will make
another attempt to-day to bring Smith
and Moran together, also to sign up the
Tar liaby and his ancient rival.

Funny, Delicia’s Never Bothered That Way at All
C HICAGO, Sept. 12.—In the re
cent National Championship at
„ ,, Okfileh City there were many
noticeable upsets of form and the
prophets were more at fault than
usual. The course was very difficult
ror the Western players, because they
have nothing like It at home and
for that reason found It hard to'over
come the peculiar difficulties It pre
sented. The failure of Mason Phelps
K. L. Ames and W. J. MacDonald, of
1 alumet, as well as the high scores
of other Western players, might he
attributed t.o unaccustomed play over
a course vastly dissimilar to those
In the Chicago district, hut the fail
ure of Oswald Kirk by. Gilman Tif
fany and other flr*t-cla*pi Eastern
players, however, seems to prove that
the course presented very serious in
trinsic difficulties.
The Garden City links Is not for the
wooden club. There are few shot3
from the tee in which the good iron
player did not have the better of it.
for the course is so severely trapped,
the way so narrow and straight, that
the least deviation from the lin«
meets with the heaviest punishment.
Every shot must be well placed and
the golfers play under a heavy strain.
The fact that no British players
entered, except Mr. Maude, whe en
tered as a matter of courtesy (being
here on business and out of prac
tice) was much regretted by the
Americans. We were partly consoled,
however, by the appearance at Gar
den City of two famous golf writers.
Bernard Darwin, whose name has a
strangely familiar sound, and Henry-
Leach. who has visited us before and
is always welcome. This is Mr. Dar
win’s first visit to America, and he
Is making himself extraordinarily
popular here. I am glad to announce
that he intends to visit Chicago, and
I know there will be much pleasur
able anticipation.
Before Journeying Westward, Mr.
Darwin will go to Brookline to view
the open championship. That event
will be one of the greatest ever known
in America and we are all hoping
that our own players will make a
good showing against the foreign in
vaders. In any event most of us can
learn much from the British and
French professionals, and it is a big
help to one's own game to see. how
the great players make their good
shots.
If we can see the games and read
what the various golf writers say
about them we shall be doubly
blessed, but if we can only read about
them we can still find both pleasure
and profit. It may be of advantage
to learn what the writers of each
nationality think of the players of
other lands.
BASEBALL
Diamond News and Gossip
Another pellet of unhappiness has
been administered to Charles W. Mur
phy, boss of the Cubs. It happened
yesterday, when Ed Reulbaoh, one of
his cast-ofT twirlers, now pitching with
the Dodgers, had a rather easy time
defeating his okt-time teammates.
The Tigers hammered the offerings of
three Red Sox twirlers to all portions
of the lot yesterday, clubbing out twenty
safeties for a total of fifteen runs, while
Dauss, the Tiger pitcher, held the Bos
tonians to five hits and two runs.
The Yankees gave McHale, the new
t wirier, gilt-edged support yesterday,
with the result that the New Yorkers
shut out the Browns and once more are
on the point of emerging from the cellar
position in the American League and
shoving the Browns therein.
In a game characterized by slow field
ing and heavy hitting, the Reds defeat
ed the Braves yesterday. The Reds
used three twirlers and the Braves two.
The former made fifteen hits and twelve
runs, while the Braves laced out nine
teen safeties and eleven tallies.
• • •
Timely hitting gave the Athletics a
4 to 1 victory yesterday over the White
Sox. Shawkey, the Athletics' recruit,
was taken out of the game In the sev
enth inning, but gets credit for the vic
tory. He was wabbling badly just then
and Chief Bender took up the pitching
role and held the Chicagoans safe.
* • •
Those Cleveland merchants who
pledged themselves to turn over $100,000
in real money to the Naps provided they
won the pennant this year may now pro
ceed to spend that money on them
selves. The Naps are seven and one half
games in the rear of the leaders and
nothing outside of a miracle will give
them the pennant.
• • •
The Naps, by the way, when oppos
ing the Senators ought to change their
name to Snaps The Washington ag
gregation handed the Clevelanders a
fourth straight defeat yesterday, and
now are right on the heels of the sec
ond place Clevelanders.
* * •
The Senators-Naps game yesterday,
by the way, was about as weird a bat
ting game as ever was staged. The
Senators got only four hits off the Nap
twirlers, yet won in easy fashion. The
Naps were leading in the seventh in
ning, 3 to 0, when the Senators went to
bat. Although the Senators got only
two hits in that inning they pushed
seven runs across the plate. Reason:
The Nap pitchers donated six bases on
balls in that session.
Hopper, a new pitcher of the Cardi
nals, made his debut against the Phil
lies yesterday, and the Phillies prompt
ly de-butted him for six singles, two
triples, two home runs, eight tallies, and
the game.
Daubert, of the Dodgers, who is run
ning Cravath. of the Phillies, a close
race for batting honors In the old league-
made a slight gain yesterday, getting A
.500 batting average for the day, while
Cravath had to content himself with
.333.

Grant and Carter Lose in Doubles
Chief Meyers’ war club was a factor
in the Giants’ 4 to 1 victory over the
Pirates. Demaree’s own error pre
vented him from coating the Pittsburg-
ers with whitewash
U NLESS present indications go
far afield. Carleton Smith will
win the singles title in the
.Cotton States tennis championships.
In progress at E^st Lake, and .Smith
and Mansfield will capture the dou
bles. It also appears likely that the
same combinations will travel through
the challenge events successfully and
be returned the new champions of
the Cotton States tourney.
Carleton Smith won his match with
Bryan Grant yesterday in clever
fashion, his Law ford stroke sweep
ing off the opposition after the style
of the well-known new broom. The
scores were 6-0, 6-3.
The doubles engagement between
Mansfield and Smith and their most
active competitors. Grant and Cartel,
produced a match that fairly scintil
lated in brilliant play, and also went
the limit for erratic performance and
game rallies.
Grant and Carter won the opening
game of the second set, on Mansfield s
service, and then went suddenly wild
in their placed shots, dropping the
next five games in an unbroken
string. Confronted with a 5-1 score
against them, in addition to the open
ing set—played the day before—the
losing team, within one game of de
feat in the match, put on a rally that
fairly lifted the gallery off its benches.
Six games in a row Grant and Car
ter reeled off with the speed and ac
curacy of a machine, and the set went
to them, 7-5.
Encouraged by this showing, they
started with a rush on decisive set,
taking three of the first four games.
Here, however Mansfield and
.Smith duplicated their opponents’ run
of the previous engagement and took
the next five games straight, giving
them the set, 6-3, and the match.

N EW YORK, Sept. 12.—If any
fans are losing sleep over the
probabilities of the Giants being
beaten out of the flag, it might in
terest them to know that all the
Giants need to reasonably clinch the
pennant is to travel at a .500 clip
until the end of the season. Even
should they play at a .400 gait for
the remainder of the campaign they
are reasonably sure rf the flag.
This morning the Giants have won
89 games and lost 43. The club still
has 22 games to play. The Phillies
have wonu 78 games and lost 49.
They still must play 27 games. Should
the Giants break even on their re
maining 22 games, they would have
100 victories against 54 defeats.
In order to beat this performance,
the Phillies would have to win 28 * *f
their remaining 27 games, an .852
clip. Should they win only 21 of their
games and the Giants break even on
their 22, New York still would win
by a game.
If the Giants played .400 per cent
ball between bow and the end of the
season, they would finish with 98 vic
tories and 56 defeats. To defeat them
the Phillies would have to win 21 and
loe only 6, a .778 clip. If they only
won 19 and lost 8, they would be de
feated by a game.
The Giants still can be beaten out,
but there Is very little chance left to
head them off.

AUTUMN.
The word autumn Is derived from the
English noun autumn, which means
autumn. Another reason why It is
called autumn-ls that It appears In the
almanac every autumn under that
name.
Autumn Is a season densely populated
by football, which same Is a pastime
entirely surrounded by noise. Foot
ball is not necessary to noise, but nojso
is absolutely necessary to football.
For example: If you were to meet
an enemy In a dark alley and proceed
to kick a few lungs and esophagi out
of hlR system you would be arrested
THE ANCIENT PANHANDLER.
A stranger stopped me on the street.
"Hav< you a match?” quoth he.
And as / paused the stranger laid a
grimy hand on me.
Hut when l offered him a match he
looked a look of scorn.
And said, “/ have not had a hit to
eat since Monday morn”
And at the stranger's tale l felt a
sympathetic thrill.
“Oh, take this match bo.r, sir” said
/, “and you may cat your fill”
y
for assault w>*h Intent to kill. But
if you performed the same operation
In a stadium with 20.000 leather-lunged
youths chanting his requiem, you would
be carried off the field amid glad hosan
nas. your photograph would be hung in
the college gym and you would be made
a member of the All-American team
(provided you were a student ai Yale).
Still, football i6 not without Its re
deeming qualities. We know a young
man whose parents once gave him up
as a bum Job. But the lure of foot
ball was so strong that he entered
college, studied assiduously for four
years and now holdc the proud position
of bouncer In one of our leading tango
Joints.
Autumn Is also the time when base
ball players cease from grumbilnq over
meals at %2 per 6Coff and browse In
nectar and ambrosia at 25 cents per
browse.
P S.—They pay the 26 cents, them
selves.
A slant at the standing of those Bos
ton Braves reminds us that even the
worm sometimes sits up and makes
a holler.
Speaking of football, a scribe arises
to wonder whether Walter Camp has
picked his All-American team. It might
be said without fear of successful con
tradiction that Mr. Camp will not do
thusly until ho has learned who will
play on the Yale team
Looking over recent box pcores one
is led to suspect that Rollle Zeider has
developed bunions on his fielding aver

W AYCROS.S. GA., Sept. 12.-
There le a strong probability
of Umpire Derrick, one of th*
Empire League umpires daring the
season recently closed, becomipg pres
ident of the Empire Deague. Thh
statement was made here to-day b>
baseball enthusiasts who have beet
discussing the matter with director
for a week.
Tho performance of Umpire Der
rick made many friends for him, and
the fans here and in several othe
pities of the league are known t*
favor hi» selection for president. I
Is quite likely that the directors wil
settle the president matter at a meet
ing to be held in October. If Der
rick is not named it is certain a non
resident of the members of the league
will be named
One of the most important change*
to he made in the league rules, ac
cording to the advance dope, will b*
the increase in salary limit from
$1,000 to $1,200. or an amendment to
the salary limit providing for a limit
of $1,000. excepting the salary for
a manager. It is quite certain also
that the league will open in April,
probably about the 20th, instead of
May 1, eloping earlier. The schedule
for the 1914 season is going to b*
carefully planned and such mix-ups
as resulted from the 1913 schedule
will be avoided.
There is no doubt whatever of the
league lasting now. Several cities
are clamoring for admission. Chief
among these are Dothan. Ala,, and
