Was Three Down at Turn in

Miss SempIe Out.

CHICAGO, October 12-Eastern and

advantage in the first round Of match
play in the sixteenth annual women s

player held the lead throughout the day

Harris was off her game with the wooden
clubs and was in the rough much OF the
time.
Miss Dorothy Campbell of Hamilton,
Canada, holder of the national and the
Canadian championships, defeated Mrs.
a. f. Hedstrom of Buffalo, up and j

turn and was never behind. She played a

was excellent golf in the heavy wind.
Mrs. r. II. Barlow of Philadelphia de-
feated Miss Grace Sempie of St Louis

bs to Employ Waiting Tactics Against Connie Mack Pitching Stat
CUBS FIGURING ON USING
SOME OF McGRAW'S TACTICS
New York Managers Methods of "Work-
ing Them OUT Will Be Employed
to Use Up Athletics Pitchers.

Chance thinks that the McGraw tactics
OF waiting EN- out" applied to these
great games. will have the effect of tr-
ing ont the Philadelphia pitchers and
putting the whole Athletic team up in
the air. If this system is worked. the
Cubs. instead OF beginning rattling
attack in the first inning. will go up
slowly and use every effort to make
each turn.at bat last as long as possible.
Each man will try to work as many balls
as he can, abstain from hitting till posi-
lively necessary. and then foul off three
or four OF course. If the exasperated
pitcher let's down and gives some passes
the Cubs will at once accelerate the at
tack with a view to getting those par
ticular runs around. but with none on
bases the game of stalling and delaying
will be carried through to the limit.
These tactics. maintained for four or
five innings. are quite likely to upset
Mack's pitchers. Then will come the
brisk work of the Cub machine. The
men will get suddenly busy. and will be-
gin to rattle their bats against the ball
fer all they have in them. If the Ath-
letics stop the bombardment well
and good: if they can't. all bets will be
off. and the Cubs. thanks to a Judicious
mixture of McGraw's tactics with their
own. will waltz in victors.

CHICAGO. October 12.-The Cubs arc
doing a lot Of thinking these days-sa-
gacious thinking, all concentrated upon
the great problem of how to trim the
Athletics. Chances men fully realize
that they are up against tougher
proposition than when they faced the
Tigers-that the Athletics won't be bit
afraid of them. and that they them
selves will not he young or as chip
per they were in the days gone by
Hence they are planning and figuring
and devising all sorts of ideas ana
brainy tactics to be pulled upon the Phil
adelphia foe.
One scheme of action which the CUBS
will probably adopt is one which John
j. McGraw has brought to the greatest
perfectior-the wait ii out" idea. This
system OF attack is not practiced to any
great extent in the American League,
where the players, as a rule. go after
the pitchers with as much speed and
activity as possible. The Athletics are
specially fast team on the offensive,
working as rapidly as they can, and
permitting comparatively few good balls
to go to waste.

COBB STILL HOPEFUL
Says Official Averages Will
Decide Batting Contest.
DISL likes PRESENT MIDDLE
Does Not Feel That He Should Con-
graduate Lajoie Under
Circumstances.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, October 12.-Tyrus
Cobb has not been officially notified that
Larry Lajoie is the 1910 major league
batting champion, and until President
Johnson announces the American League
averages does not intend to discuss the
controversy which has been waged over
the legality Of the eight hits credited to
the Cleveland slugger in the games at
st. Louis last Sunday. The Detroit star
made that statement upon his arrlVai III
Philadelphia last evening.
Cobb is here to play with the ail-stars
against the Athletics. and following that
series will write the stories OF the
worlds championship games between the
Mackmen and Chicago for several papers
"I'n admit i thought ptomaine poison
ing or something like that had hit me
when read In the newspapers that La
joie had made eight hits in the maj Two
games and beat me for the batting
nrize." said Cobb last night. But l
have concluded that the figures gwen OUT
are unofncial, and nobody Will know
whether Lajoie or myself Is the "iAas "a
until President johnson issues the OH
cial averages. .,. cha,
Iaioie was given hits he did not deserve
in st. Louis?'' Cobb was asked. r.
81 will not discuss that, repned lv'
firmly. A.. ,,.,.
II do want to say that / wish the utle
Of hating champion could have been won
NV either LajOie or myself without any
scandal or charge of unfairness L thlnK
the present mix-up is going 10 De oao

Il could not say that Lajoie or any
other player in the game at 81. LOUIS
last Sunday did anything that was not
fair and square," declared Coop. Wa
not there and know only what l nave
rssd in the newspapers about it. That is
the reason ! must refuse to say anything
definite at this time"
what about the stories that you nave
not congratulated Lajoie yet?'' was ASKED.

ciaIly that he Is the winner, TY salo.
..If he had won 1t without this scanda'
I would have been the first to congratu-
late him. Now-well, l hardly think can
offer congratulations
Cobb said he knew nothing about any
action being taken to investigate the
games in st. Louis. He said he supposed
that was a matter for President Johnson
to decide. but he would not ask that tne
American league president take any OFF,
Ty said he would not allow un-
official news that he had lost the batting
championship to prevent him from occu-
pying center field in the game between
the All-Stars and Athletics at Shibe Park
this afternoon. Ty came from Detroit to
PHILADELPHIA in his automobile and eX-
pected TO reach here Monday evening. He
became lost in the Catskills and did not

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE.
POWERS TO RESIGN.
It Is Thought ]. K. Price Will Be
Head of Eastern League.

NEW YORK. October 12.--When the au-
tumn meeting of the Eastern Base Ball
League is held i'm a few weeks il is eX-
pected that President r. T. Powers will
resign in accordance with an alleged COM
pact entered into year ago when his re-
election was opposed by the presidents OF
four clubs. According to this agreement,
President Powers, in consideration Of his
reelection, was not to be candidate for
the Office again. 1t is thought that James
K. Price, an old Baltimorean. now sport
ing editor of the New York Press. will be
elected to succeed President Powers. Mr..
Price was candidate for the office year
ago. and had the backing of the Baltimore
club when that club was controlled by
Edward Hanlon. Price, il is understood,
would accept, but will make no fight for
the place.

Hard scrimmage for Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 1.-THE
Harvard varsity players were put through

terday afternoon. The first team scored
three touchdowns against a reinforced
second team. on which thirteen players

Leo Leary gave the ends long SEES

ence, the second backfield being used

coaching last year.
There was nothing spectacular in the
practice. but the men are receiving much
more individual coaching than usual for
SO early In the season. The reason for
this is that the varsity may be said to

Pennsylvania Rich in Backs.
PHILADELPHIA, October 12.-The
University Of Pennsylvania foot ball
team had another secret practice yester-
day afternoon, with especial attention
devoted to preparation for the Brown
game Saturday. The coaches showed that
they intend to be equipped with two sets
OF backs for this game. In yesterday S
practice two sets were used both in the
signal drill and in the scrimmage. The
first was made up of Mercer, Ramsdell.
Harrington and Keough, and the second
of Young, Sommer. Hough and Clark.
The first named set seemed to be re-
earded with most favor. for 1t was under
the personal supervision of Smith and
Dr. Carl Williams. who was on the field
for the first time in several days. num-

When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

Best is best. and best will ever live"
When person feels this way about

A school teacher down in Miss. says:
Il had been a coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years 1t
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at breakfast
would cause me to become SO nervous
that | could scarcely go through with
the days duties, and this nervousness
was often accompanied by deep depres-
sion of spirits and heart palpitation.
I am a teacher by profession. and
when under the influence of coffee had
to struggle against crossness when in
the school room.
when talking this over with my
physfcian he suggested that l try
postum. so l purchased package and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions; found it excellent of favour and
nourishing.
'sIn short time | noticed very graft
fving effects. My nervousness disap-
peared, was not irritated by my pupils,
life seemed full OF sunshine and my
heart troubled me no longer.

spirits to Postum alone"
