Hot Race for Flag
In International
NEWARK, N J., Sept. 20— Newark
now needs to win but one of its three
remaining games to claim the Interna
tional League pennant Newark did not
play yesterday because of rain, but
Rochester, its strong rival for the flag,
lost almost its last chance to edge the
leader nut for final honors by dropping
one game of a double-header to To
ronto.
Newark’s three games all are with
Jersex City. Rochester has two more
games with Toronto, and must win both
to remain in the running. Should it
lose one. even though Newark dropped
all three, the final percentage would be:
Newark. .605; Rochester, .604.
The finish is one of the most exciting
in years in the league

MINE IS HAPPY
By Mike Donahue.
(Coach Auburn Eleven.)
Auburn, ala.. Sept. 20.—The
second week of practice find*
the members of the squad in
creased to over 60. Another member
of the varsity squad has showed up
in the person of ‘‘Red’’ Harris, a
I backfield man last fall. “Red” lacks
I weight, but makes up in speed and
grit for a lot of it. He is a valuable
I addition to the squad. He brought a
' younger brother along, too. who will
! make one of Auburn’s future athletes.
1 Pitts has sent word that he will he
!in the first of next week and as
there is a good chance of Lockwood
returning Auburn’s football stock has
risen considerably over what it was
a couple of weeks ago. The only pos
sibility unaccounted for is Christo
pher. and he is expected some time
next week.
With the help of Coaches Penton
and Bragg the candidates are divided
into three squads and are given mor •
work and more individual attention.
The tackling dummy was installed
this week and the way the players
went after it made it appear that
Auburn U’oukl have a team of good
tacklers if nothing else. In fact, they
went after it so hard that the first
injury of the season happened to
Hart, who has a bruised shoulder
that will keep him from working for
a few days.
Are ’‘Freezing” to Ball.
There are long drills for the can
didates in catching punts and for
ward passes, falling on the ball. and.
above all. freezing to it when once
it touches their fingers. As th<* abili
ties of most of the candidates arc
well known, there won’t have to be
many '-experiments and the work
ought to go on smoothly from the
start.
The backfield, that is composed of
Captain Newell at half; Arnold, quar
ter; Taylor, fullback, and Prender
gast. right half, is going very well
and has more speed and weight than
is usual in Auburn backfields.
Only scrimmaging will tell, hoxx -
ever, what the combination will
really do. If it pans out all right
and with such good light men as
Hart. Christopher and Sparkman to
shoulder some of the work, the back
field ought to be well taken care of.
Two Scrubs Look Good.
Harston. of Marion, and Wynne, of
last year’s scrubs, are showing up
well at the end positions, while Steed,
another scrub, is doing well at -en
ter. Louisell has bolls and is doing
only light work, and Culpepper is also
out because of sickness.
Scrimmaging begins to-day and
the varsity will very likely line up as
follows: Steed, center; Thigpen, left
guard; Makin or Martin, right guard,
Cleveland. left tackle; Esslingen
right tackle; Wynne. Kearley. left
end; Harston. Robinson, right end;
Arnold. Noble, quarter: Harris New
ell. left half; Taylor, Sparkman, full
back. arid Prendergast, right half.

GOTHAM GIVES
GIANTS SERIES
By Bill Bailey.
(Baseball Expert of Hearst's Chicago
American Traveling With the
White Sox.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Here is
where you get the benefit of
the first straw ballot taken on
the world’s championship series this
year.
The vote was taken right here in
New York. It was overwhelmingly in
favor of the Giants. In fact, the Ath
letics didn't get a single vote. Some
fellow started to say something about
the Athletics giving McGraw’ a good
licking. But it was suspected that
he was from Philadelphia and he was
so busy the next few minutes trying
to keep away from his pursuers that
it was difficult to interview him.
But after a day of hard work on
the straw ballot the vote stood 70 to
0 in favor of the Giants.
Oh, yes, the New York people are
quite certain they will win the big
trophy this year. Nothing to it. And
you know they aren’t biased in their
opinions at all. oh. no. no! at all.
Porter Casts First Vote.
The first vote was secured as the
Sox left their train at 1 o’clock
Wednesday morning. A colored por
ter came hobbling up the platform
with some eight or ten grips.
“Well, you fellers certainly is our
friends.” he said.
“How’s that?” it was queried.
“Well, you done showed us that
if you can get base hits off them
Philadelphia pitchers and your pitch
ers can keep dem from getting hits,
dat you is bound to win. You done
it and we are going to do it only
moh so.”
That showed he possessed an idea
that the Giants would certainly beat
the Athletics when they clashed.
But let us not get the impression
that a vote at a time is all that
you can get in this town. There
was a musical show in this town anti
a chorus of 50 came out. They sang
a little song in which the belief was
freely expressed that the Giants
would put the Indian sign on Bender
and send Plank to the home for the
aged and infirm. That showed how
they felt about it and they were set
down as among those who believed
that the Giants were going to win.
Play to the Fans.
The ardor of the tabulator was
somewhat dimmed when it was re
marked by a friend who was sitting
in the next seat that the same girls
sang in Philadelphia last week and
they expressed the opinion that the
Athletics would hang the Indian sign
on Meyers and also that they would
chase Mr. Mathewson to that same
home. Meaning the one for the aged
and infirm.
But realizing that a straw ballot
without experts is no ballot at all. the
view s of Mr. Hugh Jennings, manager
of the Tigers, were obtained. Mr.
Jennings was just having for Wash
ington.
The Giants have the best opportu
nity of their careers to win that
world’s championship emblem.” said
the boss of the Tigers. “The truth
is that Connie Mack has a wonder
ful team, except on the slab—he has
no pitchers. Plank, with much nurs
ing and a lot of rest, may be able
to pitch one good game. Bender
can’t win the series by himself.
“McGraw, on tne other hand, has
a good batting club, one that will
get lots of runs, and also a strong
pitching staff.
Lack Pitching Staff.
“1 think that the Athletics have it
on New York in hitting, hut they are
without the necessary pitching staff.”
But what’s the use of further
enumeration. They are absolutely
certain here in New York that this is
the year for the Giants. Likewise,
are they convinced that the pitching
staff of McGraw will spend a pleasant
afternoon any time that they adorn
the slab.
Understand, this straw ballot was
taken in New York.

American Boy of 20 Overtakes British Veterans at Final Hole
OUIMET PLAYS OFF TIE WITH VARDON AND RAY
Brookline, mass., sept. 20.
Whether the national open
championship of the United
States Golf Association remains here
or goes to England rests entirely with
the play of Francis Ouimet, an
American youth, a stripling, scarce
ly out of his teens.
Ouimet, an amateur, is battling to
day England’s cracks, Harry Vardon
and Edward Ray, veterafi profession
als. It was Ouimet’s brilliant golf
in the final round of the tournament
yesterday that won him a tie with
the British experts and gave him the
right to contest for the title to-day
Play began at 8 o’clock this morn
ing. an eighteen-hole three-ball
medal round deciding the winner.
No matter wire the victor will be.
Ouimet is the hero of the tourney.
He carved a niche for himself in in
ternational sporting history by his
feat yesterday.
Ouimet and his British rivals turn
ed in a card of 304 for 72 holes con
tested during the past two days.
Ouimet’s performance lifted the
nineteenth annual open tournament
of the United States Golf Association
out of the usual classification ac
corded a national championship and
brought the contest to a standard lit
, tie short of other intenational compe
titions.
Os the half dozen home-bred and
transplanted professionals, not one
could keep pace with Ray and Var
don. and all hope of retaining the ti
tle honors appeared lost until Ouimet
was found making his lone stand
amid rain and mud against the two
older players.
Scene Never Equalled.
When the spectators realized that
in this home-bred amah ur. born and
brought up on the edge of the Coun
try Club course, rested America’s
chance of winning the < hampionshiV
they lost that placid attitude and
whisper that ordinariy marks the golf
gallery and rooted and cheered Oui
met in a manner typical at baseball
and football games./
The#scenes that attended Ouimet’s
march over the last four holes never
have been equalled on an American
or European golf course.
Enthusiasm ran the gamut from :
despair to elation; silence was fol
lowed by great outbursts of cheer
ing. When Ouimet’s second shot
from the eighteenth tee landed dead
on the edge of the home green. 5.000
spectators massed themselves in a
gigantic ring of breathless humanity
about Ouimet and his playing part
ner. George Sargent.
The American youth needed the
hole in one to win and two to tie.
He gazed long down into the bowl
where the cup lay. dried his hands
and made a 35-foot putt that just
missed the hole and rolled 3 feet be
yond.
A sigh arose from the crowd and
all was still again. Quimet looked
once at that little stretch of sodden
turf that lav between him and an
other chance for the title—gently
tapped the ball and stepped back to
watch its progress.
Slowly it rolled to the edge of the
hole, curled around the lip for an inch
or so and then dropped in for the
four which tied him with Ray and
Vardon.
Ovation for Youth.
Instantly a tremendous yell went
up. The gallery swept past ropes and
guards and closed In on Ouimet in a
solid phalanx. He was lifted to th.
shoulders of the advance guard and
carried toward the clubhouse sur
rounded bv several thousand cheer
ing, yelling golfers, who forgot their
golf in the enthusiasm of being just
Americans cheering an Am. rican vic
tory.
Manv, not realizing that Ouimet
was an amateur, thrust bills of large
denominations at him. only to be m.-t
with a smile and a shake of the heal,
which took the sting out of the re
fusal made necessary by their mis
take.
Ouimet's great battle against the
prowess of the two Englishment, who
alreadv were tied with 304 before he
iwd half finished his final round, was
all the more praiseworthy because of
the frightful weather conditions un
der which he was obliged to plry
It was raining heavily before tne
forenoon round was started, and con
tinued with but few let-ups all day.
The fairways and greens were water-
I soaked and the rain beat down upon
players and spectators alike.
Britons Praise Ouimet.
Vardon said: "He certainly played
a great game and stood up under the
strain like the man he is. He is a
credit to American golf."
"It was a beautiful finish," said
Ray, "and he deserves all the cheers

that he got. One of the best young
golfers I ever saw.”
Ouimet took his honors modestly
and said that except for some pulling
and slicing, due to the wet and whip
py condition of his clubs, he had no
particular trouble.
“I never gave up hope," he said,
“and expected to pick up several
strokes on the short holes near homo
I’m not a bit afraid of either Ray or
Vardon, and expect to do as well to
morrow as I did to-day.”
The youthful hero of yesterday’s
exciting finish is nearing 21, and was
born in Brookline, where he attend 'd
a school until a year or two ago. At
present he is employed by a Boston
business concern, but while he was
attending public and high school here
he played and caddied on the Country
Club course, which he knows like a
book. It is this knowledge which
helped him to overcome the advan
tage of experience and age possess* 1
by his two competitors of to-day
in the play-off round.
Os Ray s and Vardon’s play it can
be said that both held true to form. |
considering the weather conditions
Neither had any complaint to make,
and took the added complication of a
third contender in the play-off with
a re nt composure. Some idea of
their play yesterday can bp gained by
a comparison with that of Tuesday
and Wednesday, when nerfect weath- i
er and course prevailed as against the
bad going of Thursday and Friday.
Comparison of Cards.
Vardon’s cards for each 36 hnl«a

SPORTING COMMENT
By Ed W. Smith.
FROM a hothouse type of “made”
athlete to a near champion in
the lightweight division is the
strange evolution shown in the ca
reer of Charley White. He has built
himself up from a sickly youth,
who took up boxing in a Chicago
gymnasium in an effort to ward off
the threatening signs of a wasting
disease to one of the hardest-hit
ting light weights in the business,
a man truly to be feared by any
man in his class. White’s showing
against Mickey Sheridan in RJcine
the other night indicates that the
little Hebrew I id is improving by
leaps and hounds and is destined,
if all goes well with him. to break
into the very top crust of the box
ing game.
• ♦ •
POSSESSED of one of the great
est left hands ever flashed by
any of the lightweights and with
the knock-out kick of a burro on
either side of his armament one
can hardly figure how Charley is
to be denied. He has taken on the
weight in the right direction—
steadily and uniformly, filling out
nicely around his neck and shoul
ders with the legs remaining well
knit and slim, giving him all of
his power just where he needs it—
right back of the punch. As a
support for all of this Charley is
the characteristic iceberg In the
ring. He is seldom hurried or wor
ried. does not overpace himself in
the hottest of mix-ups, and best of
all, his boxing skill enables him
always to be in the right poltion
to hit.
CHARLEY comes of a family that
is distinctly pugnacious, four
of rhe brothers being fighters. Jack
is a good lightweight, and Billy
Wagner, another of the family, is
one of the best in the business in
the same class, confining his opera
tions largely to the rings of the
East. Naturally, there was a lot
of rivalry in the family, but it looks
at this angle as if Charley already
had outstripped his kin in the mat
ter of development of his fighting
skill. The family name is Ancho
witz, and Charley was born in Liv
erpool. England, hence every time
that he wins an important battle

the English sporting papers print
his picture as another example of
the might of British boxers. But
the Anchowitz family came to
America soon after little Charley
was born, which was back in 1891,
and therefore, Charley must be
tabbed as a real American product.
• • •
THE Kid was a mere stripling in
1905, when he first began tug
ging at the pulley weights and jug
gling: light dumbbells around Chi
cago. He was sickly and took up
the exercise as a means of pro
longing his life. wl|i*. h at the time
didn’t seem worth a very big in
surance gamble. The bov liked the
work, and having a train nf hero
worshiping in his young make-up,
enjoyed his surroundings with the
fighters that worked with him.
(’harloy absorbed a lot of this at
mosphere and then began to box.
Almost frofti the- start he snowed
unusual skill and it wasn’t long be
fore he was regarded highly. Pro
ficiency came to him in bunches,
and in 1906, he embarked on a reg
ular fighting career.
* * •
BUT it took a long time xo build
over that sliver-like shape of
his and only within the last six
nr eight months has Charley shown
a decided improvement in this re
gard. His left hand, always a
weapon of extreme pre< ’sion and
force, became almost deadlx in its
work, until to-day he is master of
all that goes to make up the real
class leader. Up to about a year
ago (‘harley was content to out
point opponents, seldom caring
about trying for knock-outs. The
great K. O. punch has come to him
now and he is using it with telling
effect. Just ask Mickev Sheridan.

Griffith sent the tall fork-hamler in to
start the game against the hard-hitting
Tigers
Slim had worked a couple of times
aa relief pitcher, hut this was his first
regular game. The tall boy did well, be
ing returned a winner, 2 to 1, although
he was hit rather frequently His pitch
ing in the pinches was superb, eleven
Tigers being left stranded on the bases
in the seven innings Love toiled. Grif
fith wasn’t satisfies! with the 2 to 1
margin, and sent up a pinch hitter for
Love in the first half of the seventh,
but the game ended in the same score,

ff ID DOWN ON
FIELD IT iITHENS
A THENS. GA.. Sept. 20 —lt looked
like old times and genuine
football on Sanford Mead yes
terday afternoon when four full teams
were running signals and receiving
personal instruction from the coaches.
Captain McWhorter had charge of the
“first choice" crew. Cunningham han
dled the second eleven for a while
and Ketron and Peacock looked after
the other two squads.
Varsity m»n and scrubs made up
the first team, as it is Cunningham s
system to pla\ new stars on the
scrubs until they have demonstrated
that they are really worth more than
the other man. Dorsey was running
the captain s outfit in the absence of
Paddock; McWhorter was at right
half. Browles at left, and Powell, who
arrived at noon from Europe, was at
full Delaperritro did the passing,
and Conyers and Brown filled in at
guard Henderson took care of right
tackle and Thrash plugged left.
Hitchcock and (’rump went down
from the end positions. Forward
passing was the main feature, and It
can he seen even this early that Cun
ningham expects to make this play a
big factor in his attack this fall.
Scrimmages will start Monday and
a gheat ben» fit is expected to result
from these this fall, as the number of
coaches on hand will give each teain
a separate set of signals, and such a,
thing as a man starring because.
is “playing on signals" will be Jone
away with.
Another thing that is evident even
so early in the season is that th»
Georgia quarterback will have a va
riety of plays and signals to carry in
his head, and but little mass playing
will be resorted to in the four downs.
Touches of the “Minnesota" shift, the
tackles-back formations and other
similar creations of the open game
are creeping out. and every man on
the team is working overtime study
ing out the different formations and
plays.
WANT RITCHIE FOR DUNDEE.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20—Willie Ritchie,
world’s champion lightweight, hr.s been
offered SIO,OOO to come East and box
ten rounds with Johnny Dundee at Mad
ison Square Garden the last week in
October.
