Continued on Page 19, Column 7.
ALEXANDER.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.—Pat Moran is making no secret of his intention to use Alexander and Rixey to win the pennant if it is possible, and he has nursed this pair carefully in order to have them at their best during the closing weeks of the season. Moran has been criticized for the way he has worked his pitchers this year. Some of those who think they know more about handling a ball club than the sag'e of Fitchburg say that he should have used Alexander and Rixey to relieve other pitchers when there was a chance to win games, but the wisdom of Moran's Bystem has been demonstrated. He has never called upon Alexander to go in out of turn or as a relief pitcher, with the result that the star of his staff is in better condition today than at any time in his brilliant career, and is able to go in as often as he is asked.
TIGERS LOOK GOOD 10 He ADVANTAGE
Play Athletics Today, While White Sox and Bed Sox Do Battle At. Chicago.
Now It's up to the Tigers. With a brotherly love, but withal an unfriendly smash at the Red Sox, the Chicago White Sox this afternoon tumbled the pride of JBoston out cf first place In the American league scramble and Detroit slipped into the niche. The Red Sox didn't stop at second place on their way down. They kept right on to third place, where they now languish half a game behind the White Sox, in second place.
Today the Tigers are scheduled for another whirl at the Athletics and should have little trouble in subduing Connie Mack's tail-enders. Also, the White Sox and the Bostons will renew the!? sanguinary conflict in Chicago, yso it is doubtful if the Tige.-s are headed for at least a few days.
The Red Sox have made a game fight of, it since leaving home, more than two weeks ago, to do battle on foreign fields in Ban Johnson's circuit. They have, however, been crippled by the absence of Jack Barry, captain and second baseman. Also Bill Carrigan's pitching staff, the greatest asset he has, took a shiver and then broke shortly after the team left Boston.

Pat Moran Counts On Alexander and Rixey To Bring Home the Pennant
HAUTE TRIBUNE.
TO MINUTE
RIXEY.
There is not the slightest room.for argument over the manner in which Pat Moran has handled the Phillies since he- was given charge of the team. He took it in its crudest shape, built it into ti pennant winner in one season and has kept it right up with the leaders throughout this season, despite the fact that three of the beBt hitters on his club last year have fallen far below their usual mark and jn the face of the loss of the services of Mayor, who was one of the mainstays of the team last season, helping to give the team the big early season lead which pulled it through later. No sensational star has been added to the Phillies this season, but, notwithstanding, they are today within striking distance of another pennant with the same team that won last year. This should be enough to prove that their victory in 1915 was no fluke.
CLUBS NAME FOR TITLE STRUGGLE
Teams In City Championship Series Announce Players to Be Used— Schedule Arranged.

The clubs naming their lineups are: Y. M. I., Twelve Points, Wheel Works, Chero Colas of West Terre Haute, Bells, Max Franks, Eickmelr Specials and Monies.
In the liqt of players eligible to perform are some of the classiest semipros in our midst, and the series promises to be a big success.
Four games will be played next Sunday, two in the forenoon and a like number in the afternoon. The opening bill is as follows:
Morning.
Eickmeir Specials vs. Wheel Works. Max Franks vs. Bells. Afternoon. Y. M. I. vs. Chero Colas. Monies vs. Twelve Points. The four clubs surviving the initial round will clash the following Sunday in a double bill. The winners will then arrange for the final title contest.
The lineuns are to be found elsewhere on this page.
MICHIGAN HAS BEAR STORY.
None Too Promising Squad At Coach Yost's Disposal. ANN -ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 16.—The biggest staff of coaches that ever trained a Michigan eleven will help Fielding H. Yost try to develop a team with a none too promising squad this year. Prentiss P. Douglas and Miller Pontius will act as assistant coaches to the varsity. Of the twenty men whom Yost named as desirable for a nucleus for the eleven this fall, but ten are scholastically eligible. The squad possesses a powerful line from tackle to tackle with Weiman one of the best freshmen ends ever seen here Though strong on paper, the Wolverine backfield is not strong physically, as Johnny Maulbetsch, the brilliant half, is below form and Cedric Smith, fullback, is susceptible to Injury. Besides Maulbetsch and Smith "M" men expected out are Walter Nieman, center: Maurice Dunne, left end punter Weske and Fred Reher, guards James Whalen, tackle and end Other experienced men on whom Yost depends are Phil Raymond, fullback and punter James Sharpe, half Robert Zieger, quarter Allan Boyd, guard. The sophomore squad includes the following ranked as "promising:' Pea-ch, end and tackle Weiman, end, G. Dunn, tackle Sparks, quarter and punter Hannish, fullback Williams tackle and MacLachlan, tackle.
The Wolverine card includes the four annual "hard" games, with the Michigan Aggies, Syracuse, Cornell, and Pennsylvania, opening October 4 with Mariette college at Ann Arbor.
WEST SEES GARFIELD ON TOP THIS SEASON
Predicts Championship Eleven At North End Institution—Tells of Material on Hand.
After a clone scrutiny of the Garfield high football squad, Henry "Hank" West, The Tribune's former Garfield critic, stamps the purple and white squad as a winner. In fact, "Hank" has a vision of a state championship for the north-end team this season. His article should he of especial interest to G'arfleld followers, as he knows the candidates, their ability and gettogether spirit, and has the ability to write interestingly on the subject in hand. West is to enter Indiana university this season and will "cover" all Indiana university contests played at Bloomington for The Tribune.—Editor's JXote.
By Henry J. West.
"Pep" is floating around in la.rge gobB at the Garfield high football nam*) and Coach E. B. Clogston is sending his squad of thirty odd huskies through a daily brisk signal drill. The northend warriors are at the work in deep earnest, following the announcement that the annual alumni game would be played September 30, ju.it two weeks off, and that a contest would be played at East Chicago probably on October 11.
Not that the Garfield warriors need a lot of boosting to keep them going, tut, to be frank, the squad for so early in the season looks as if it would develop into an all-state aggregation. All of the men are huskies, have a good knowledge of the great fall pastime and are all willing workers. Then, too, the majority of the aspirants are the kind that make the grades and Coach Clogston should not be troubled by a lot of ineligibles during the season.
Starting with the end positions, the competition is keen, Emmitt 'Dix, Jeffers and Owens all looking good on the wings. There are a number of men out for tackles, but Acting Captain Leatherman and Wilson look the best, with Gillispie, Tingley, Anstead, Moses, Kisner and Castle all putting up game fights for the places. Big Charlo DePugh seems to have one of the guards cinched, while the other place will be filled from a choice of Price or Mitch, the most two likely candidates. Hal Scrofo looks the best for the pivot position, although MeLin is giving him a good race.
Burns seems to be Clogston'a choice for one of the halfbacks, while Arbaugh, Jeffers and Dix £0-e being used on the other side. Edwards, a long, lanky guy from Duggei", is hitting a fast 61lp at fullback arid will profcabiy be kept there. The big fight, on the whole squad lies Between Duke Lovell and Dave Cauine for quarterback. Both men are small and of about the same stature. Canine has the advantage in weight and defensive tactics, while Lovell is speedier than his opponents and can shoot the spiirals with more accuracy.
The men will be given a chance to display their offensive powers next week as Coach Clogston has announced scrimmage to be the main part of the menu. The squad will be divided and told to fight it out. Manager Hylton announced that the new equipment of suits and shoulder pads would probably arrive this week.
PHILLIES SIGN
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 16.—Another pitcher was added to the Phillies' staff, it was announced here today, when Kantlehner, southpaw for Pittsburgh, signed up with Manager Moran. Kantlehner was dissatisfied, it was said, with the Pittsburgh team and asked for his release. No announcement was made as to who Moran traded for the twirler, but several men are believed to be Involved.

WILEY H. LOOKS GOOD IN SIGNAL W0I0UT
Assistant Coach Buckhalter Runs South Siders Through Brisk Drill—New Men Promising
Under the watchful eye of Assistant Coach Buckhalter, the Wiley high pigskin squad was giver, its first signal drill of the season, which proved most successful. After the signal stuff, "Buck" gave the linemen Some pointers on defense and offense, and kept the backfield candidates busy passing and receiving the ball.
Several of the new warriors are being closely watched, and, if they deliver as expected, Wiley should have a strong team in the field this season. Staley, 190-pound tackle, is one of the most promising players on the squad. A member ol' N. G. Wann's championship eleven two years ago, Staley should be a tower of strength for the red and white. Wolf is another likely, appearing athlete. His toe is educated and he is kicking a mile or more in practice. He is expectcd to do the bulk of punting for the south siders ttyis season. "Kid" Goodrich, brother of "1'odge" Goodrich, is another smart performer. He is out after an end berth and stands a good chance to earn one, it is said.
Among the others who are classy are Berdsford, Werneke, Goslin, Hartaugh, Gray, Adamson, Jones, Grafe, Shaley and Motz.
Coach Guy Stantz will have the south siders out every afternoon this week and plans to put them through some strenuous practice. A clash with Ro3e Is possible, because of the good actual scrimmage would do for the squad.

Capt. Raymond Harris, cf Wiley high, wants a new pair of football shoes, and wants them mighty badly. The fact of the matter is that Raymond won't play until he gets them. Open up, "Web, open up.

the
Rose quarterback,
had but a few plays at his command or he was under instructions to resort to none but the simplest of plays. A rew forward passes were essayed. A big majority of them failed because the receiving athlete wasn't there in the catching department. The losers fought hard. So stubborn was their defense that it wasn't until the .second period that Rose could "break the

ex-Wiley star,
skirted left end for a touchdown. He scooted over four white lines in his successful dash. Buck missed goal
From then until late in the closing chapter there was little to enthuse over. In the last five minutes of plav, however, MefforcPs men .began a march down the field which ended when Gale picked a hole through tackle and went plowing over for a marker. Billy lioff toed the ball squarely between the uprights. But that wasn't all. The Wabashers, tiring rapidly, eased up, and, with less than a minute to play, Buck, managed to ease himself across the enemy's goal line. Hoff again kicked goal.
Gaie and Hoff were the bright lights of the affair along with "Measley" Sullivan, who played the quarterback position for the losers.
The Rose eleven will stack up against the Alumni next Saturday afternoon and unless a mighty big improvement is made is jilfired likely to taste defeat. The material is certainly at hand at the local institution, but there was a lack of get together spirit in yesterday's practice tilt that must be thoroughly eradicated before results carl be expected. On September 30 Rose is scheduled to face Wabash at Crawfordsville. We fear for the' "Fighting Engineers," and this isn't a bearish statement, either. It's simplv the truth as we see it.
