After four hours and a half of near bush, league baseball had been exhib ited to a large crowd of bargain hunt ers on the west side lot yesterday, Umpire Rigler terminated proceedings on account of darkness, and there was no complaint. Cubs and Phillies each won a game, the first going to Chance's men in eleven innings by a Bcore of 6 to 5, and the second to the Phillies 9 to 4 in eight innings. Neither game would be considered fit for publication by the postofflce department if presented in unexpurgated detail, and it was readily apparent that the strain of the last few days had unsettled both teams the Cubs having passed through a crazy series with New York and the Phillies having bested Cincy in a scrap lor fourth place. Chance's men had both games prac tically clinched In the early raunds, and ought to have won both of them. In the first they were sailing along with a margin of 4 to 0 over Pitcher Lou Moren up to the seventh inning. Then Mclntlre began to slip, and be fore he knew t the enemy were press ing for the lead.

Yesterday's game was dropped by a score of 10 to 3. The Sox made nine hits and Bos ton made eight, but hits don't count for as much as runs in this league. Benjamin Franklin Hunt, the Sacra mento southpaw, was in against Doc White, the only left hander in good standing we have. Doc was wild, ineffective, and everything else that is awful. Benjamin Franklin was almost as bad in spots, but he haj more luck than Boston had runs. Doc didn't have luck or anything else except horrible support. The Sox collected six errors during the afternoon and would have made lot more if the game had gone into extra innings, that is, they probably would have at the rate they were making them. Lee Tannehill was charged witn only one, but he sure was off on that first base job, and Kippy Zeider was Just as bad at short. SCHTJLTE'S BROTHER COMMITS SUICIDE Binghamton, N. Y., Aug. 30.

PENNANT FOR CUBS IS GERT

GLARK50N FIGURES OUT RACE

If Chicago Wins 21 of Re maining 40 Games, Pittsburg Must Take TwoThirds of Its Battles to Ncse Locals Out. By Jamea Clarkson. When the Cubs wound up their slugging series with the Giants last night with three victories and one defeat and .iht.om. lead nvr the Pirates they were about as close to a pennant as a team generally gets without ac tually having It clinched. Thla mav ennnd like a rather strone statement when the fact that the sched-j ule in the National league does not close until the snowball season is about! ready to open or, to be more exact, Oct.: 15. When the race is' reduced to figures, however, the half Nelson that the West Siders have on the flag Is readily apparent, i'-. " The Cubs have played 114 games and have forty-two to decide. The Pirates have forty-two more to play. If the Cubs were to win twenty-six of their remaining games, which they should do when the fact that of their forty games two-thirds are with second division teams, they will stand: Won. Lost. Pet. 14 40- , -75 Pirate Victory Seems Improbable. In order to equal this record the Pir ates would have to win thirty-nve games and lose but seven and to beat out Chance's team they would have to take thirty-six and lose six. If they made the last record, which is improbable, they would finish the season with the record below: Won. Lost. Pet. 106 49 .082 The Cubs, judging from the clip at which they have been going of late, should easily make the record with which they are credited above. They are hitting better tjian any time since they won their first pennant in 1906, and Cole and Brown should be able to carry the team through even though Overall falls to recover the use of his pitching arm, Reulbach does not return to form and Pfiester remains out of the game for the remainder of the year. The Cubs have five games left with Pittsburg. For sake of argument, let's concede the world's champions four of them. Of the seven remaining games with Philadelphia, give four to Dooin's FOOTBALL

PUZZLE TO ALL OF

Will Take a Great Deal of Study to Carry Out All Details This Year. "How to Play Football," for 1910, by Walter Camp, has just been published in the Spalding Athletic library. The book is more of a necessity than ever, containing as it does information on how to train a team for 1910 under the new rules. In the 1910 edition of "How to Play Football" Mr. Camp says: "There is one thing that every coach and captain must make up his mind to recognize at the start under the new rules of 1910; that is, that all assistance to the runner, except that which precedes him, has been cut off under these rules. In other words, the runner with the ball must strike, or plunge, or circle, with no one to push him forward when he meets opposition, or seize and drag him along when he begins to find the going choked up in front of him. or catch and whirl him

Games, Pittsbure 5 New York 4 Philadelphia .... T Cincinnati 0 St. Louis 6 Brooklyn B Boston .......... 4 Total .40 men. Of the nine with Cincinnati let the Cubs take five, which they should do when it is taken into consideration that they have won nine of the thirteen played between the two clubs. Have 4 More Games W'ltb Giants. Four games remain with New York. Let these be divided. Chance's men should take four of the six combats yet to be played with St. Louis. They won five of the last six played. Five games are still on tha. schedule between Chicago and Brooklyn.' Tne'Cfibs must be cdnceded three of these, judging from past performances, and they ought to win three of the four they have to play with the Boston team. This estimate of the deeds yet to be performed by "Captain Chance's Chicago Champion Cubs" surely is ultra conservative. It provides for twentyone victories and nineteen defeats. As stated above, they should win-at least three more games. However, if they capture twenty-one they will finish as follows: ; Won. Lost. Pet. 09 58 .643 Pirates Most Win 31 Games. Pittsburg will have to travel a fast clip to pass even such a low figure as this. They will have to win thirtyone and lose but eleven games. This means they must take three out of ev ery four games they play, which will be a herculean task as they have nine games with New York, five with Chi cago and three with Philadelphia. However, if they were to lose but eleven games out of their forty-two the Pirates would stand: Won. Lost. Pet. lOO S4 .640 The Pirates cannot be counted out of the battle until the standings show It to be a mathematical impossibility for them to win. However, the figures say and there is an old saying that figures do not prevaricate that little less than a pestilence among the Cubs or wholesale injury can keep them from winning their fourth straight pennant. THE EHIHUS round a tackle and into the clear when he finds an opposing end Immovable in his -pathway. Now, this as practiced by many teams, and it means hard work, not alone in planning and devising new plays adapted to these conditions, but also in teaching players to forget something that has been drilled into them ever since they went on the gridiron; namely, helping each other. ""The new game means distinctly 'hands ofi,' and the lot of the captain and coach promises to be indeed hard for the first weeks at least as they try to instill this principle. These two should proceed to work as 'early in September as possible to lay out a plan of campaign, the first steps of which will be altering the ordinary play in such a way as to have all the interference precede the runner, or on quick breaks have all the interference, except when men who make the sharp opening, out of the runner's way. Having thus laid out the general scheme of play, as soon as the men come back for early fall practice they should be drilled in running with the main idea of teaching them to keep their hands off each other and slip by rather than

S

to push any team mate."

Young registered a. score of 9T out of 100, -while Jay Graham of Long Lake, 111., and William Wetlsaf of Nlckols, Iowa, were tied for honor in the amateur ranks with scores of 98.

McCoy has wired his acceptance of the challenge to Johnson and is waiting for a reply In order that the date may be fixed. 1 An option has been secured on the motor track at Brighton Beach for the race.

GAI1S m FORTY 1EII HE.OIEDJAYS SELIG Former Manager Declares Joe Didn't Want Real Age Made Public. "Joe Gans didn't know how old ha was. He thought he was around 35, but in reality he was 40 when he died. Gans was like a two-year-old baby to handle In even respect.' It was Benny Selig, manager of the colored fighter during the most successful part of hla ring career and friendly with the champion long ' before that, who was talking. The "life of a man who has carved such a- history for himself In pugilism as did Joe Gans is not easily forgotten, and it is because of this that the many little Incidents regarding the holder of the lightweight title, as related by Selig, are not only Interesting, but well worth remembering. When Al Hereford brought Joe Gans to San Francisco in 1896 to fight Charley 'Roche tte. he had with him a letter of Introduction to Alvle King from soma New York friend. In that manner King and Selig came into contact with the Baltimore negro. Later Gans made an effort to have King as his manager Instead of Hereford, but was blocked by law. Still later, when Joe did not succeed in cutting lose from Hereford, he Induced Selig to look after his affairs. No one ever claimed before that Gans was 40 years of age at the time of his death, but the facts as known to Selig are practically indisputable. "Two years ago," said Selig. "in 189S, I was talking with Joe one day, and he said that he was 82 years old. I laughed at him, and said that if he was 32 I was 16. He insisted. ' "How do you know?' I asked him. " 'It's in the record book at home, was his reply,' " SELECT BRIDWELL FOR SHORT JOB Cincinnati. O., Aug. 30. Al Bridwcll of the New York Giants will play shortstop for the All-Nationals In their series with the All-Americans this fall. Jefferson Livingston and . V. Wiibern, the Cincinnati men behind the project, have worked every possible angle to secure Hans Wagner's signature o a contract, but have not succeeded. Joe Tinker of the Cubs, Bridwell of the Giants and Dool-an of the Phillies were the men considered for the Job after Wagner refused to fall in line. Tinker was turned down because five Chicago players already are scheduled to make the trip and Doolan because he is not a hard hitter. ADVERTISE XH THE TT3TES.
