>M’GRAW’S TEAM WITHIN EASY REACH OF TITLE Moran’s Buckeye Boys Still Threaten, However —Major Officials Meet Tuesday to Arrange Big Series Details, By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—With the end of a very hard road they have been pounding all through the season in sight, the New York Giants have two chances, today and Tuesday, to grab the few points that will virtually cinch the National League pennant.

BREWERS MOVE IN AS KAWTOWN SLUGGERS LEAVE Battle for Fifth Place Gets \ Under Way—Francis Shows Promise, Fifth-place honors In the A. A. ore at stake. Brewers and Indians are battling for the right to lead the second division- The home brew boys were In town today to open a series and the Tribesmen are of the opinion the Milwaukee gang la one team they can beat. The Brewers had a two-point lead on the fifth rung of the A. A. ladder today and although It Isn’t much to scrap over, It Is something. Cooney Out of Game Shortstop Cooney, who usually cuts many capers on the infield when In Indianapolis, Is out of Brewer line-up. He Is “doing time" for punching Umpire Freeman on the jaw. Pres Hickey hung a fine of <IOO and a ten-day suspension on him. The K. C. Blues left town Sunday night with three out of four in the old bat bag. They won Friday, lost Saturday, 3 to 2 and won two Sunday, 7 to 4 and 4 to S. The Saints hold a three-game lead over the Blues in the pennant fight and Indianapolis fans are of the opinion the Kelleyites will cop. Hill hurled the first game and a couple of home runs beat him. Bunny Brief and Branom socked the circuit hits. An error by Brown on Becker’s hard drive also helped because it accounted for two runs. Brief's homer was his twenty-ninth of tho season. > Another Times Hurler. Bill Francis, Spades Park hurler, was given a tryout on the Tribe mound in the second game Sunday and he convinced the fano he has promise. Darkness halted the game after seven innings. Only four hits were obtained ofT Francis, but he walked seven and hit three. He has been signed to a Tribe contract and will be used again this fall. Francis is the second Times tourney hurler to be taken on by the Indians, Johnny Schmutte being the other. Caldwell and Saladna were tho winning K. C. pitchers Sunday. Shortstop Wright played great ball for the Blurs.

nati, and if the New Yorkers show their established ability to do their best when It Is most needed, they will leave the Ohio city with the pennant. As it now stands, the Giants have to win only one-half of their remaining games to cop the pennant even if the Reds should not suffer a defeat in their remaining six games. Chance for Reds If the Giants take both games from the Reds, they cannot lose the pennant, but if the Reds should pop out with one of their winning fits, that McGraw clan will be in a most serious situation. While eight games remain on the schedule for the Giants, it is possible they will have to play only seven of them. One game is a postponed game with the St. Louis Cards and unless tt becomes of vital importance In deciding the pennant, it is likely the game will be cancelled. Officials of the two leagues and the commission will meet Tuesday "some place in the East,’’ to make arrangements for the world’s series. The opening date, the scene of the first game and the scale of prices will be decided upon. Same System Ukely While there has been much demand for lower prices and some change In the method of selling tickets, it Is unlikely that the magnates will agree to charge any less than last year, and it Is probable that the same system will be followed In selling the tickets. Many complaints were voiced last season over the ticket arrangement,

Over Fence Eddie Brown of the Indians crashed a home run In the first game at Washington Park Sunday that was an unusual drive. Without any breeze to aid the ball In Its flight, the pellet sailed over the high left field fence and out of the park. Only three batters have cleared the high outer left field fence with drives In the history of the park. They are Babe Ruth, Ernie Krueger ind Brown.

which forced any one desirous of a reserved seat to buy either three tickets for the games in which the Giants or the Yankees were acting as the home club, or six tickets for the whole series. New Yorkers found it possible to form clubs and buy a set of the tickets, but visitors in the city who had only two or three days in which they could see the games experienced trouble in disposing of their extra tickets. While the Giants are fighting it out to the end. the Yankees are taking it easy and pointing for the series. Miller Huggins, manager of the American League champions, had advanced so far with his plans that ho has announced tentatively that Sam Jones, the ace of the team, will pitch the first game.

Workouts will be held eaoh day, but the varsity will indulge only in light scrimmage, signal practice and line drill. The Hanover game, which was won Saturday, 39 to 0, showed the usual early season ragged play, but time will Iron out the kinks. Hell Be Missed Tho most severe shock to Butler's hopes was the Injury to Waille Middlesworth. He is one man Page will miss almost more than any other. The little scrapper was the logical man to lead tho team, through Its schedule and now it is doubtful if he will get back into the fray until the last of the season. The ligaments of one of Wallie's knees were badly torn when ha was tackled Saturday. Griggs Gets Rest Hal Griggs has been nursing a sore knee and ankle. Page will keep him On the sidelines until he feels ready to go. In tho Hanover contest Mulholland, anew one In the line, showed up fairly well. Johnny Northern looked good In the backfleld and Art Black ripped 'em up while ho was In there. Hanover at times showed unexpected power and It looks as though Coach Hall, who is a former Earlham tackle, will develop a strong team. Cezar at end, Sarver at tackle, Hough and Cox in the backfleld were outstanding. WOMEN’S MEET STARTS Leading Golfers of City Compete in Annual Affair.

FAIRBANKS-MORSE PLAYS GREAT BALL AT ST. LOUIS Local Champs Defeat Mound City Titleholders and Run-ners-up—Plummer and Wagner Pitch Shut-out Ball, Fairbanks-Morse, amateur baseball champions of this city, were home today after playing great ball at St. Louis to defeat the title holders of that city, the Freight Accounts team, on Saturday, and the runners-up, the Santa Cruz K. of C.’s, on Sunday. Plummer pitched in unbeatable form on Saturday and allowed only one hit. The score was 2to 0. On Sunday before a crowd estimated at 10,000. Fairbanks, with Wagner on the mound, again applied the whitewash, this time 9 to 0.

It was a fine showing for the local champs, who played errorless ball in both contests. Schott played good ball at first base in both games and his double scored the first run in the tight Saturday contest/ Johnny Gaalema led the hitting in the second victory. Wagner, although somewhat wild, always tightened with men on the paths. Double-Header Sunday A double-header attraction was played on Sunday at Fairground Park.

The American Central Life of Indianapolis lost to the Missouri State Life in a close contest, 5 to 8. The Hoosler party was entertained in royal style by the St. Louis hosts and the local players who returned here this morning were loud in their praises of the hospitality of the Mound City.

The gelding Enchantment j has a world of speed an<. now that he is overcoming his early jeason's slowness at the barrier, he looks like one of the best three-year-olds in training. Both of these will go to Kentucky in | charge of James Rowe Jr. Mrs. Payne Whitney has Untidy, I Cherry Pie and Rialto in the early entry list. Untidy, by virtue of her | strong showings against Zev and My Own, looks the best of this lot. Cherry Pie holds the world's record of 1:35 2 5 over the mile dlstanoe. Rancocas Entries My Play, full brother to Man-o’-War, Is among the ellgibles, as are the Ran- ! cocas stables’ handicap horses, KnobI bie and Little Chief. Because the selection of either Zev or My Own for the international to run against Papyrus will not be made before Oct. 6, the date of the running | of the Kentucky special. It Is improbable that either of these two leaders j among the 3-year-olds will start. Nilles Takes Count 1 By United Press , ROME, Sept. 24.—Mariano Barbaresl, Italian heavyweight, knocked out i Marcel Nilles, former French Cham- ! pion. In the first round with a right | to the body and a left to the Jaw.
