They're on the brink! By beating
the Phillies yesterday, 4 to 1, while the pirates were splitting even with the giants, those cubs still have a ghost of a chance for the pennant. In other words, if the west siders take all the ten yet to be played and the smoky denizens drop their nine, Chance and his gang can win by half a battle. This is as close as they make 'em. At any rate, Chicago isn't banking very heavily on the chances. Coming winter was In the air and overcoats were In order. Despite this, a fair crowd of loyal fans turned out to watch their favorites. Included In the number were five of the Japanese committee. The sons of Nippon thoroughly enjoyed their taste of real league ball, and applauded frequently. Two kept score and showed a thorough knowledge of the game. 'After inquir lng for the names of the pitchers, they settled back In their seats and got a
good exhibition of the American sport. Good hard slugging in the second Inning spelled the finish of Corridon. Four singles, a walk and a passed ball ushered in three tallies. With these as ballast Jeff Overall had the easiest kind
of a task before him. He went along so well that seven of the enemy fell on whiffs. The four singles were spread hither and thither through the Innings, scattered as the fallen chaff.
Washington, Sept. 28. Those white
box tightened their . grip . on fourth

Manager Cantillon sent young Forman, his latest addition to the senators'
staff, to the slab to start the game, and
the youngster was as wild as the proverbial March hare and handed the
game over without much of an effort
Doc Reisling continued the argument' J

City and Des Moines running neck and neck and requiring the last game to decide which shall win the pennant the Western league of baseball closes with today's game. Sioux City is a few points in the lead, but not enough to win the championship without winning the very last game of the season. Omaha plays Sioux City a double-header n the Omaha grounds today and at the same time Des Moines plays Lincoln on the Lincoln grounds. Should Omaha win both games and Des Moines win from Lincoln Des Moines will win the pennant. If Omaha and Sioux City each take a game and Des Moines wins from Lincoln, Des Moines and Sioux City tie for first place in the league.

He will begin work with the squad tomorrow, and will probably be used at full back or tackle, according as he or Lawton shows the better at the back field position. Curtis Redden, last year assistant to Coach Yost, will return this fall and help Yost prepare the team for the big games of the season.
