SWAT TITLE SHOULD FALL TO LOT MATHES

Highlander Clontcr Has Nine Point Edge on Spencer, With But Eleven Games to Go.

By Ralph H. White.

Joe Mathes. Highlander slugger, is leading the Central league in clouting. His mark of .345 is nine points better than "Deerfoot" Spencer's figure, .S3G, which gives him second position in the swatting* chase. Pat DUncan fellows the Dayton sticker. He is mailing the old apple at a .332 clij*. Bratchi, Muskegon outfielder, has the same mark, but hasn't played half as many games as the Gee Rap outfielder.

In all, eleven batsmen are hi.tting .300 or better in the Central circuit. Miller, of the Raiders, ranks fourth, with Warner, ex-Vet, now with the Pirates, following. Bowman, Kauger, Altenberg, Crichlow and Reilly are the other .300 clouters. The official figures are to be found elsewhere on thia page.

Bill Wagner, now sitting on the bench, is the second best slugger of the clan. He has Increased his average to .290. "Lefty" Gilbert comes next, with .265. The other Highlanders are busting the agate as follows:

Spencer, .261 Holderman, .260 Mitchell, .255 Gray, .242 La Ross, .239 Cramer, .237 Gygli, .221 Shafer, .207 Alnsworth, .1S4 Schettler, .179 Crum, .136.

Spencer, of the Vets, has scored the most runs, seventy-four.1 He has also torn off the largest number of hits, 150. Bill Wagner and Spencer are tiod for leadership in the two-bagger column, each having exploded thirty-five. Hanger, of the Vets, has fifteen triples to his credit, and leads in that department. Sykes, of the Vets, has no rival In home runs. He has seventeen to his credit. In stolen bases, Gygli, of the clan, is out in front, with a total of forty-four.

Joe Mathes is expected to retain his margin over Spencer. He has nine "points to go, an advantage which Spencer will find hard to overcome. There are but eleven games yet to fce played, hardly enough for a change, unless

Mathes falls off badly and Spencer goes "crazy." Joe, however, isn't expected to falter, while Spencer isn't cutting 'em as he did earlier in the chase.

ARL1E WHITE HEADY

Declares He'll Have No Alibis If He Loses Monday.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Sept. 2.1 —When Charlie White stalked into his dressing room at the conclusion of his "•orkout yesterday afternoon, he snid: "Well, I'm readv foi anything now. I never was in better condition in my life, and if I don't take the title away from Freddie Welsh Monday afternoon there won't be any alibis on the ground of physical condition."

Welsh cut out the rough stufT yesterday, doing little evcept footwork and gym exercises. However, he is :sti 11 working hard on the road. The question of weight evidently Is giving jthe champion no little -concern. .He stands between two fires. If he, cuts down his work too suddenly he will be I over weight Monday. Tf he continues hard work be- is in danger of srolnn: stale. Freddie maintains that he is around 137 pounds now, but doesn't prove it by climbing cn the scales in ^public.

White's friend® here are worrying over the prolonged alsence of Billv Roche, \\ho will referee the battle, no'lie was er.lectrd by Welsh, and thfre world have been no fight unless White had accepted him. For this reason Coloradonns. who want to risk a little bet on White, are anxious to l"ave a look at Roche.

MAJOR LFPGUE PENNANT DOPE

With only one more month to play, the pennant races in the American and National leagues promise to be even more excitiner than in the memorable season of 1908, when the White Sox and Detroit played the deciding game in the American league on the last day of the ^season, and the Cubs and Giants found themselves tied in the National when the season was over and had to play off a tie game of a September series to decide the honor.

Six teams In the American league still are In ,t.he race for the flag—Cleveland, in sixth place, being only five and one-half games behind Boston, which leads. It is reasonable to suppose that Boston will win at least half of its remaining games. If it does only thi^t well Cleveland would have to win nineteen of its twenty-seven in order to tie. The Wnite Sox, under the same conditions, would have to win seventeen of their twenty-eight to tie.

In the National league only three tennis—Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia—are in the fight. Brooklyn, leading, is only one game ahead of Boston, and only three and one-half °,f ^Philadelphia. Brooklyn and Pnjladelphia have thirty-six games yet t«»-.play while Boston has thirty-eight. If .Brooklyn should win only half of its, remaining games, Boston could tie by+i winning twenty and losing eighteen, while the Phillies could tie bv winning twenty-one and losing fifteen.

CLAN GAINS A NOTCH THAN S TO RAID! KS

Highlanders Enjoy Day Off As League Leaders Falter—Two Games Today.

ft? Itnlph H. White.

The Highlanders are but two and a halt games out of first place In thi Central chase with eleven to play. Niiu of tne number are booked for the final invasion of the enemies' territory, but as the clan *ias always accomplished great deeds on the road there is little or no worry in the Highlander abode as to the outcome.

The boys are confident of success. Chock fuil of the old determination, they intend to pull out on top if daring, speed and fighting spirit will bring about the desired result.

Today they will try their "darndest" to cop both scheduled games with the Stcerics. If they succeed and Grand Rapids loses to Springfield they will move into second place, with but a scant margin separating them from the leaders. Should the Raiders take the Reapers to a cleaning, the clan will Te in third position, oh! «o close to both [fop notch aggregations.

So you'can readily see that today's double header, the final home stand of the season,, should be bitterly .fought. The clubs rested yesterday because of the downpour and should be fit as the proverbial fiddle this afternoon.

On Sunday the Gilbertites will perform at Wheeling in the first of three contests with the Smokes. "Sox" Seibold, who has won his last six games on the slab, is being saved for the occasion and the clan is sure to be in for a tussle.

Following the Wheeling set* our boys will jump to Dayton, playing three games with the Vets. Then comes the big finale, a three-game series with the Evas at Evansvllle.

Can the clan do it? The players think they will, and, you know, that's half the battle. If they do flash to the front, they will earn the right to oppose the Vets In the Central "world's series," the plans for which cannot be made until the race has been run.

So lt-t's all get together and pull for "Lefty's" gang. Stay with 'em, boys, we re lor you!

The local Central Labor union has hung up a valuable list of prises for the bicycle races.to be held at the fairgrounds track Honday afternoon and a great number of ridt-rs have already signified their intention of competing for them.

CAN BET ON BALL GAMES.

New Orle*hf Judge Holds Moderate Betting Not Gambling. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2.—Judge W. J. Stentz, of the city court, in a decision on file today, holds that moderate betting on baseball games does not constitute gambling.

The defendant In the case bet a fiftydollar check against the plaintiff's cash thit the Green Turtles, a semi-profes-sional team, would defeat the Greco Sweets. The Turtles lost and the defendant stopped payment of the check, whereupon the plaintiff s'ied.

In deciding, the plaintiff was entitled to recover the fifty dollars, and, overruling the defendant's plea tnat It was a gambling transaction, and illegal. the court said: "Baseball is not in any sense a gambling game. It is primarily a game of science, physical skill and trained endurance. The court believes baseball a model form of physical exercise, which tends to promote skill in the uso of the arms, ar.d a bet thereon, If not excessive,11 is recoverable."

Runaway Cut of Cars Piles Up Big Four Train, But All Passengers Escape Death.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 2.—With the breaking of a coupling and air knuckle on a Lake Erie freight train while standing on a steep grade at Altaraont, two miles east of here, fifteen cars came thundering down the incline and crashed into a Big Four passenger train standing on the main line in front of the local passenger depot, piling up many cars.

With the clearing away of the wreckage it was learned that no one had been killed. William Krueger and Roy Stinger, Rock Island business men, were slightly crushed, but their injuries are not serious, and they left here this morning. Three passenger coaches, two "dead heads" at the rear, and the Pullman, which was the third car, were derailed, one ot the "dead heads" being turned over. The fact that the empty steel cars were at the rear of the train probably saved the lives df many of the thirty-seven people who occupied the sleeper. The caboose of the cut of freight cars was demolished, as were four other cars.
