the very unexpected happens, VIII win
the pennant in the American League
race. The season closes next week,
and with the lead which Philadelphia
has over Chicago. the White SoX can
not hope to win. The margin today is
better than twenty points, and the
White Sox will finish second, unless
they should capture their remaining
half dozen games straight, which is not
likely. Much of the credit of winning
the pennant for Philadelphia is due the
Indian twirler Albert Edward Bender,
who came to Philadelphia from the
Carlisle Indian schools, and who
twirled his team to victory more times
than any other pitcher on the staff
Following close on the heels of the
close of the American and National
Leagues, comes the post series OF
games of the champions, and base bail
interest is due to be centered in them
to an unusual degree. Six games VIII
be played, three in New York and three
in Philadelphia. The schedule is as
follows:
Monday, Oct. 9, In Philadelphia.
Tuesday, Oct. 10, in New York.
Wednesday, Oct. IL, in Philadelphia.
Thursday, Oct. 49, in New York.
Friday, Oct. Is, in Philadelphia.
Saturday. Oct IA, in New York
All of the games scheduled for Phil
adelphia are to be played on the AM
erican League grounds in that city,
| and the games scheduled for New
! York on the National League grounds
in that city The schedule was deter
mined by lot, the first game going 10
Philadelphia, with the understanding
that all games played thereafter would
be alternated between the two cities
provided, however, that the Saturday
game is to be played in New York.
The Hawkeyes took their last scrim-
mage work before the Chicago contest
Thursday night, and their showing was
on par with their work of the past
week While the scrubs We're unable
to score, they made consistent gains
AGAINST the varsity during the hrs,
part of the play, and We're scored or
| only after series Of line smashes FOL
1 short gains. The offensive work OF the
| regulars, while full of spirit and dash
| was ragged In the extreme, the men
| failing to get together In almost every
| play. Andy Chalmers was In the ilne-
UP for the first time this week, al
though he still limps from his spralneo
| tendon. In all probability he will be
| in the lineup when the game begins
White will not be able to enter the
| contest. His bad knee has yielded
readily to treatment and his physical
condition has not improved enough 70
allow his entering the game. In spite
of the poor progress of the team dur
ing the past week, Iowa University
will be represented in Chicago by
a loyal bunch Of rooters, who will ac-
company the team there. big mass
meeting was held in the auditorium,
which was addressed by Manager
Walker and othersrand great enthusi-
asm was shown. "a low excursion
rate has been secured, and over 300
rooters have signified their intention of
going. Opinions on the outcome of the
game vary widely here 1t is believed
that If the Hawkeyes can hold the
maroons to IL points they will have
accomplished enough.
Iowa owners and breeders will note
with interest that the three-year-old
pacing filly Wapello Girl, owned and
driven by Zip Johnson, of Wapello,
finished second the second heat of the
2:11 pace at Pekin, Ill., this week, the
time of the heat, won by Redlight, be-
ing 2:O9h. The flly was second again
the third heat to Milo in 2:1O, and
again in the fifth heat to the same
horse in 2:13. This looks like a fine
race for a filly that age; considering,
too, that there were eleven starters in
that event.

western horseman as the owner and
