Talking It Over
BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Sept. 9. The baseball moguls went into session out in Chicago Monday and decided the world series would open on Oct. 1. The news would have been more exciting if they had decided who would play in the series. a a a Right now it is almost last as much a rum* at It was a month aro. Particularly In the National league. There hasn't hren a great deal of doubt about the Athletics being the class of their Iragne all along. a a a But the Cubs who figured ,to be the class of their league are in a bad wav Cue to growing oitening oerolexities and it. Is bv no means certain that their present lead of two and a half games " :jl orove a margin of sufficient safetv to bring them Into another cbamDionsh.p oort. a a a Not when sou consider the wav the Cards have been coming with twenty-two wins out of their last twenty-six games, ard the recrudescence of the Brooklvns who fought their way back to third place Monday. a a a IT isn't often that baseball sets the stage for such a situation as is at hand today in the Metropolitan district with all four of the pennant survivors fighting it out on the same battle front. a a a The Cards arc up at the Polo Grounds and Ihe Cubs are across the river in riatbush. and it is easily possible that the outcome of those ganes will determine thr Identity of the ultimate champion. a a a The Interesting If somewhat shadowv gentlemen who make a profession ot betting still list the Cubs as the fa/orites on the ground that a team that is out in ftont in September bv any sort of margin certainly must have something. a a a Rut the club they fear Is neither the Robins nor the Giants but the surprising outfit from St. I.ouls under the leadership of old Gabby Street, the obscure third base roaeh who was given the team to manage this spring. a a a CERTAINLY if the Cards continue to play from now until the finish as they have been playing during the last month nobody is going to beat them. They are the only ones who have shown any consistency. a a a Where first the Robins, then the Giants and finally the Cubs skidded and floundered the Cards have kept coming along on the impetus of a well sustained plaving form. a a a To be sure they do not look like a particularly good team on paper, but then there has always been an Important difference In how a team looks on paper and how it plays on the diamond. a a a White the experts have been writing that the Giants are the real class of the league and that the JMcGraw infield of Terrv. Critz. Jackson and I.inristrom is the best that ever worked together, old Gabbv Street has been going along winning ball games and letting the percentage tables talk for his club, and along about this time of the season the percentage tables can talk with tremendous eloouence and authority.
Baseball's Immortals Play Before 30,000 Boston Fans
Bu C'nitcd Press BOSTON. Sept. 9.—Baseball’s immortals, including such stars of the past as Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, “Home Run” Baker, Honus Wagner and fifty others of bygone days, displaying the pep and enthusiasm of their hard-fought games of yesteryear, played an “oldtimer' ” game at Braves field here Monday. Two nines, one comprised of men who played on the old Boston Red _ Sox—some who helped carry that team to pennant victories nearly "two decades ago—and the other made up of men whose names once led the sporting columns for other major league clubs, lined up against each other. The final results of the nine-inning contest was an 8-to-4 victory for the “All-Boston” aggregation. A roaring, shouting crowd of more than 30,000 persons attended. Old Cy Young, the grandest old man of baseball took the mound for the Boston team, with Bill Carrigan on the receiving end. Big Ed Walsh, former pitcher for the old Chicago White Sox, started

Chicagd 80 56 .588 ... 18 St. Louis 77 58 .570 2'i 19 Brooklyn 77 60 .562 3*4 17 New York 76 60 .559 4 18 BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW.YORK, Sept. 9.—The four National League contenders gathered here today for the drive down the home stretch in one of the ! strangest pennant races in all baseball history. The first and third place clubs, the Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn RobI ins, opened a three-game series at Ebbetts field. The second and fourth place clubs, the St. Louis Cardinals and New Xork Giants, commenced a four-game series at the Polo grounds. Any one of the four can win the pennant, with the Giants the least likeliest and the Cubs, despite their two-and-one-half-game lead, barely rated above the Cardinals, driving hard in one of the greatest winning streaks of the season.
Brooklyn bounded back into the thick of the fight Monday by a double victory over the Phillies, which left the Robins only 3’i games from the Cubs. Based on their form the last ten days the Cubs have shot their best bolt, and nothing less than a miraI cle can bring them home in front, I unless the pitching staff does an | about-face. Pilot Joe McCarthy was ! in a quandary today for a pitcher |to open against Brooklyn. Pat Maj lone, Charley Root, Guy Bush and | Bob Osborn all seem to have gone ! stale, and Sheriff Blake has a kidney ailment which may keep him out of action until the last days of the season. In addition. Rogers Hornsby has strained his back muscles and is not likely to play in the Brooklyn series unless in the role of pinch-hitter. The Cardinals, victorious in | twenty-two out of their last twentysix games, have pulled up from ali most nowhere to within striking dis- | tance of the Cubs, and their pitchI ing staff, with Grimes, Hallahan, i Rhem and Haines hitting on all i cylinders, promises to keep the Red ' Birds in the race right down to the I finish. The Cards have a sevengame winning streak intact. After three days of rest last week the Robins seem to have taken anew lease on life and have won four straight games up to today. Wilbert Robinson, convinced that his lefthanders can’t beat the Cubs, has three righthanders, Ray Phelps,
off in the box for the “All” team, with Jimmy Archer of the old Chii cago Cubs as his catcher. Harry Hooper, who played the ! entire game in right field for the j Boston team, led the batting with ! three hits in his five trips to the I plate. Trfs Speaker came through I for three hits, as did Duffy Lewis. The “All” team’s batting offense was led by Ed Roush and Jack Barry, who each garnered two hits from their three trips to the plate.

Sept. 9.-William Hargrave, veteran Tigers’ catcher, was released to Washington Monday for the waiver price of $7,500. Hfc will report Wednesday.
Adolfo Luque and Dazzy Vance, primed for the league-leaders, but the old Cubs’ jinx, which has fourteen victories in nineteen games played this season, may sound the final death knell over the Flatbush hopes. As for the Giants, this team has squandered more opportunities than any of the contenders. Even John J McGraw considers the Giants out of the running, failing to send a representative to Chicago for the world series meeting Monday. Need Clean Sweeps The unusual status of the Cubs and other factors, including eighteen of their remaining games at home, may contrive to get the Giants back into the race, even though it would take a near miracle for them to cop the flag. The Giants today were four games behind the Cubs. If the Giants swept the series with the Cards and the Robins won three straight from the Cubs, the Giants and Robins would be tied for second place, half a game behind Chicago. Anything less than three out of four for the Giants and two out three for the Robins will just about leave the pennant between the Cubs and Cards. CANCEL BENEFIT RACE Bjt Times Special TERRE HAUTE.

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 9.—Approximately fifty of the best professional and amateur golfers of the state assembled here today for the thirty-six-hole eastern Indiana open championship over the municipal course.
