TF P1PTsBURG wins the National
IL League pennant this year, thereby
becoming the senior major leagues
representative for worlds honors,f there
will be no long wait on the part of the
American League champions to start
the worlds series. The Nationals
schedule makers, known as the trouble
makers this time, set October 10 as the
closing date. nearly a week after the
American League season ended. This
state of affairs did not help the worlds
series situation, and there have been
runors that the American League
might kick just enough to cause a scare
because of the wait. On the face of
IT the National League arrangement is
n joke. as their schedule is a COM
promise that embodies the features adj
vocated by the long n short schedule
factions. II either the Pirates or the
Reds win all this trouble will be avert
ed, for Garry Hermann and Barney
Dreyfuss have arranged to close their
season October 8 and 8. None of the
other magnates can knock on the plan
of the short schedule men. for the Reds
and Pirates finish the season playing
each other, II W. clubs playing like
that can change the schedule to suit
themselves, according to article ], Sec
tion AZ, OF the constitution. We hope
either one of these teams win just for
that reason.
In spite Of TEX Richards denial
that there is any friction, the Asso-
ciated Press at noon today learned that
Richard had m a Salt Lake
man to Frisco and that it is far from
certain the fight will be held In Cali
fornfa.
We have with us now presumably in
the Powers-Pollok stable Zanto, an
italian long distance runner, VINO
claims a twelve-mile victory over
Dorando. That recommendation will
not stamp him as a world heater.

The Brighton Beach, Empire, Aque-
cuct and Jamaica tracks have pooled
their interest for the coming racing
seagon, and will divide the profits or
sustain the losses of the e~ighty-two
days of racing allotted to metropolitan
tracks. There was some conflict over
the dates, and the already cloudy rae
ing situation was ready TO rain heavy
downpour1ngs of trouble until the pool
ing suggestion was made. Azure blue
then appeared and metropolitan tracks
expect a good season.
