‘Bookies’ Shift on Naming Win
ners in National and American,
Menke Gives Dope on Races,
By Frank G. Menke. ‘
porting Editor of the International
News Service. ;
EW YORK, Sept. 14.—The
“bookies” have shifted opinion
on the outcome of the Nation
el League race. They have made
e Dodgers favorites in today’s quo
tations, dropping the Phillles to sec
ond choice. However, they retained
the Tigers at the top of Ban John
son's league. The odds are:
AMERICAN LEAGUE,
Tlgers, 7 to 5.
Red Sox, 8 to 5.
White Sox, 11 to 5.
NATIONAL LEAGUE. |
Dodgers, 8 to 5. |
Phillies, 9 to 5. |
Braves, 13 to 5. ‘
‘With three clubs close together in
rach league and a hard schedule con
fronting each of them, fandom has
tossed its hands Into the air and mur- |
mured: 1
“It’s beyond power to dope 'em out
any further; may the best team win.”
The Tigers are favored because
they are at home now. The team as a
Wwhole is hitting at a more terrific
clip now than at any other time durs
ing the season, and the pitchers are
steadying more every day, |
* s ;
THE Red Sox are getting some su
| perb pitching, but it is not avail
ing them much, because the team is
not hitting. The loss of Jack Barry,
the “brains of the infleld,” is an
other blow. Worst of all, from the
Bostonian viewpoint, the Sox from
now on must do the major portion of
their fighting on foreign soil.
Chicago fans are nursing the hepe
of a pennant. Clarence Rowland's
squad has come to life at last. Just
& notch behind the Tigers and Red
Sox, the white-hosed people have now
the grandest chance in years to bust
inte a world series frolic.
. . -
THE schedule for the contending
teams in both leagues follows. It
includes all! postponed games and reg
ular games to be placed by each club,
and beginning with the contests this
afternoon:
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Georgia Trained Stallion Breaks
His Own World’s Record of
. .
2,00 1-4 in Trial at Syracuse.
—
By Ed Danforth.
I' has now become a question of
I “how fast ecan Lee Axworthy
trot.”” The Georgia trained stal
llon broke his own world’s record at
Syracuse Tuesday stepping off a mile
in 2:00 without that pesky quarter
fraction that had hitherto kept him
out of the charmed circle of two+min.
ute trotters.
It was on August 22 at North Ran
dall that Lee calmly erased the name
of The Harvester, 2:01, from the pal
ace of the turf kings and carved his
own. Thus easily do revolutions oc
cur in the harness horse world; none
but the trainers and owners of the
little bay son of Guy Axworthy had
any idea that Lee would sit on the
throne until the time, 2:001-4, was
hung up in front of the judges’ stand.
Again in the waning days of the
North Randall meeting, Lee Axworthy
equaled his former mark of 2:00 1-4
under less favorable conditions of
wind and weather. He demonstrated
that his first trial was no sort of al
fluke.
And now, on last Tuesday, at the‘
Syracuse Grand Cireuit meeting, Ben
White climbed into the sulky and
drove the champion a mile in two
minutes flat,
- L B
THE two-minute trip was made!
with two running horses hitting
it up alongside as pacemakers. In
this respect the last trial will not
be rated in the class with the first
two marks that were a quarter-sec
ond slower, for the record first fell
to the little bay “in the open,” all by
himself.
In the two-minute dash, the track
and weather conditions were perfect.
The owners of the Pastime Stables,
of which syndicate Lee Axworthy is
the proud possession, are evidently
still hot on the trail blazed six years
ago by The Harvester, for Lee was
started for the express purpose of
‘beating the Syracuse track recerd of
2:011-4 held by the aforementioned
son of Walnut Hall. Their success
was evident from the time ticket;
under as nearly as possible similar
conditions, Lee Axworthy not only
pulled Harvester's record into his net
but also lowered his own time.
- . -
lF the Georgia trained stallion eon
tinues to clip off a few fractions
at the coming Columbus and Lexing
ton meetings, he will be in fine shape
by the time the Atlanta show opens
to set a combined track and world's
record that will stand for a decade
for the big liners to shoot at.
Lee Axworthy is in reality the sec
ond fastest trotter regardless of sex.
There are three faster techniéal rec
ords—Uhlan, 1:58; Lou Dillon,
1:58 1-2, and Major Delmar, 1:59 2-4.
The first named of the trio is a geld
ing, the second is a mare, and the
Jlast a gelding. Uhlan made his mark
at Lexington in the open, but the
last pair were paced by runners. So
with the exception of Uhlan, Lee can
!rlmm second place in the “free-for
all” elass—his 2:00 1-4 performances
were made without a runner, which
is now coneeded to be the nighest test
of ability.
|& g &
TH!B same Tuesday at Syracuse
saw anether of those sterling
battles between St. Frisco and Mabel
Trask, In which the former won the
SIO,OOO Fmpire City stake in straight
heats. The Geers stallion set a new
record for the stake in the seecond
heat in 2:08 3.4, and practically put
himself on an equal rating with the
mare In their season’'s duel. The re
spective heats now stand: St. Frisco,
10: Mabel Trask, 14, with the average
time of the stallion's heats higher
than those winning performances of
the mare

Hot Fight Expected for Various
Positions on Alabama Eleven,
Prospects Very Bright. |
———— |
NIVERSITY, ALA., Sept. 14—
U With three or four gpod men
for every position, Coach Kelly
faced a hard task to name the nine
teen men who were placed on the
football training table Wednesday
simultaneously with the opening of
school.
The material that Coach Kelly has
is better by far to the average look
er-on than has confronted an Alaba
ma coach in many years., He him
self says, in his usual conservative
manner, that they can become foot
ball players if they Want to.
Eight of the nineteen to be chosen
are new men, showing the value that
lies in the green material now on the
squad. The new men are Gage and
Pope, halfbacks; Crean, quarterback;
S. Johnston, Brown, guards; Davls,
Lowman, tackles; Stowers, end.
Seven were varsity men—Captain
Morton, end; E. Maynor, center;
Rogers and Whittelsey, tackles; G.
Jehnson, fullback; Hagan, quarter:
back; W. Hovater, halfback. Other
four—D. Hovater, center; Downep
and Moreland, guards, and Latham,
end-ghave played on the serubs.
The epening of scheol has inereased
Kelly's squad materially, both in
numbers and werth. Gris Harsh,
quarterback of last year, abaut whom
for a while there was some doubt,
has definitely stated that he weuld re.
turn. He {is expected every day.
“Jake” Tayler, halfback of last year,
is also looked for,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14—Jimmy
Dur‘r:. manlgor for Johnny Kilbane,
featherweight champion, said today
that he would allow his man to meet
Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion,
provided he received SIO,OOO for his
share of the purse.

THE above news report was re
ceived from Baltimore this
morning, and indicates that Jimmy
Dunn, manager of Johnny Kilbane,
the featherweight champion, is will
ing to send his protege against Fred
die Welsh, providing Kilbane receives
SIO,OOO for his end. No mention is
made whether the bout is to be ten or
twenty rounds.
~ Many eritics who have seen Kil
‘bane in action feel confident that
Johnny would give Welsh the toughest
’lort of a battle, while there are just
as many who are of the epinion that
Welsh wou'd have little trouble win
ning over the featherweight king.
’ The writer has had the pleasure of
seeing Kilbane in action on one oec
}camon. Ritchie Mitehell, the fast
Milwaukee battler, was Kilbane's op
iponent at that time, and Mitchell was
far from the boy he is today, being
but a youngster in the game then.
The bout was a ten-round affair, and
‘the mill was staged one night last
September, {f we remember correectly.
Although a number of the eritics
present awarded the shade to Mitch
ell, I thought the bout was a good
draw, due to Kilbane's wonderful
jabbing tactics.
L
KILBAN’E'E showing, however, was
nothing to rave about. True,
Johnny might not have been at his
best, but it is eur humble opinion
that Welsh would have had little
tgouble whlpging Mitcheli that even
ing had he been in Kilbane's place,
and Freddie seldom does much traln
ing for na:decision contests,
On another occasion Kilbane was
pitted against Joeé Mandot, another
li{htweuht, in a twelve-round bout
at Akron, Ohlo. This scrap took
place some time back, and according
te the scribes, Mandet was entitled to
the shade. Now, the question comes
up: If Kilbane eouldn't whip Mandot
and Mitehell, what chance has he to
beat Welsh? The question is a geod
one, but the Kilbane admirer will tell
yvou that the Kilbane of today is a
far superior boxer to the Kilbane who
fought Mandot and Mitchell, so there
you are.
g ¢ 9
IT can not be doubted that Kilbane
is a wonderful boxer, and the
greatest featherweight since Abe At
tell was in his prime. Pitted against
Welsh, Kilbane would no doubt rely
on speed to win, and with youth in
his favor it may be that Johnny
would prove capable of nmnf such a
fast pace that he would be able to cop
a rer:rec'- verdict over Freddie.
We do not think there is a enance
in the world of Kilbane to stop Welsh.

.s @ P
S HOULD promoters see fit to put
the pair on, let’'s hope Messrs.
Welsh and Kilbane are prevailed up
on to travel over the twenty-round
route, with the lightweight title ul‘d‘
stake. A contest of this kind would
prove a wonderful attraction, while
we do not think a ten-round bout
would do more than ‘bunco’ the pub=
lic out of a lot of good money, U
nothing would be at stake in a las
of this kind. ¥
v e /
KILBANE would have lb.o!\lm
nothing to lose in a bout of
kind. If Welsh beat him, Johnny
would still be the featherweight
champion, while a victory over Fred
die would make Kilbane one ofm
greatest cards in the country,
the holder of two championships. &
would also drag down a nice piece of
'money for his end.
The match is a wise one for Kils
bane, and his manager no doubg
realizes tbis fact more than anyone
else,
}. s o
WHILE promotors are bldd!ning'
a Welsh-Kilbane bout, Je
Dundee is sure to start a lou dhowl
if Kilbane beats him to a chance at
the title. Dundee has long been a
topnotcher in the lightweight divi=
sion. He has been after Welsh for
‘some time, but for one reason or oth
er he has never been able to corner
the lightweight champ for a long bat
tle.
! Personally the writer believes
Dundee is deserving of the next
at Welsh's title, but it looks as 1
more money will be offered for the
Kilbane-Welsh erown, which makes
it tough indeed for the Italian lighte
weight from Goths;m‘ :
.
IF‘ Dundee fails to get on with Wi
a bout that ought to go migh
good i= a twenty-round so betw
Dundee and Charlle White. Thess
boys have met twice, White wlnna
with ease at Syracuse, N. Y. on A
30, 1912. Dundee, however, came be
on November 27, 1913, and ed
White somewhat of a lacing at New
Orleans. Both these bouts were ten
round affairs.
