PENNAN1 FOR CUBS IS CERTAIN
CLARKSON FIGURES OUT RACE
If Chicago Wins 81 of Re-
manning 40 Games, Pitts
burg Must Take Two
Thirds of It's Battles to
Nose Locals Out.
BY James C1arkson.

When the Cubs wound up their slug
ging series with the Giants last night
with three victories and one defeat and
an eight-game lead over the Pirates
they were about close to pennant
as team generally gets without ac-l
tually having 1t clinched.
This may sound like a rather strong
statement when the fact that the sched-
ule in the National league does not
close until the SNOWFALL season is about
ready to open or, to be more exact, Oct.
IS. When the race Is reduced to figures.
however. the half Nelson that the West
Siders have on the nag is readily ap-.
parent. go
The Cubs have played ia games and
have forty-two to decide. The Pirates
have forty-two more to play II the
Cubs We're to win twentysix 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. Pct.

Pirate Victory Seems Improbable.
In order to equal this record the Pr
ates would have to win thirty five
games and lose but seven and to beat
out CnanCeS team Iney WOulQ nave TO
take thirty-six and lose six. If they
made the last record, which is fmprob-
able, they would finish the season with
the record below:
Won. Lost. Pet.

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 than 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 fails 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 worlds champions four OF
them. Of the seven remaining games
with Philadelphia, give four to Dooin's

CANS WAS FORTY WHEN
He DIED, SAYS SEL|G
Former Manager Declares
Joe Didn't Want Real
Age Made Public.

zoe Cans didn't know how old he
was. He thought he was around 35,
but in reality he was 40 when he died.
Cans was like two-year-old baby to
handle IN every respect It was Benny
Selig, manager of the colored fighter
during the most successful part of his
ring career and friendly with the
champion long before that, who was
talking. The life of man who has
carved such a-history for himself in
pugiIism as did Joe Cans is not easily
forgotten, and 1t is because of this that
the many little Incidents regarding the
holder OF the lightweight title, as re-
lated by Selig, are not only interest
ing. but wei worth remembering.
When AL Hereford brought Joe Cans
to San Francisco in 1896 to fight
Charley Rochette, he had with him a
letter of Introduction to Alvie King
from some New York friend. In that
manner King and Selig came into con-
tact with the Baltimore negro Later
Cans 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 aft
err his affairs.
No one ever claimed before that
Cans was 40 years of age at the time
of his death, but the facts known
to Seiig are practically indisputable.

I was talking with Joe one day, and

YOUNG LEADS SHOTS

Scores 81 Out Of 100 Targets
in Preliminary to Grand
Chicago Handicap.

Charley Young a professional from
Springfield. Ohio, was high gun in the
practice held yesterday preparatory to
the holding of the first annual grand
Chicago handicap shoot of the Chicago
Gun club Young registered a. score
of 81 out of 100, while Jay Graham of
Long Lake, ILL.,, and William Wetleaf
of Nichols, Iowa, were tied for honors
in the amateur ranks with scores of
9s.
Thirty-two shooters from different
sections of the country took advant-
age of the five practice events of TWEEN
ty targets each and sharpened their
eyes for he first attempt of the Chi

is expected to be one of the feature
Journeys of the shooting world. Two

Boston. Mass, Aug. 30-They can
lose them here in Boston just as easily
and consistently as anywhere else de-
spite the manner in which they treated
the Speed Boys out west. Yesterdays
game was dropped by score of 10 to
8. 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 handler in good
standing we have. Doc was wild, in
effective, and everything else that is
awful. Benjamin Franklin was almost
as bad in spots, but he had 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 a
lot more if the game had gone into
extra innings, that is, they probably
would have at the rate they were max
ing them. Lee Tannehill was charged
with only one, but he sure was off
on that first base job. and Kippy Zeid-
was just as bad at short

How to Play Football" for 1910, by

book is more of necessity than ever,
containing as 1t 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 assist
ance to the runner, except that which
precedes him, has been cut off under
these rules. In other words. the run
ner 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 whiri him

After four hours and half of near
tied 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 Chances
men in eleven innings by a score of 6
to 5, and the second to the Phillies
to in eight innings.
Neither game would be considered fit
for publication by the postofnce de-
partment 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 scrap for fourth
place
Chances men had both games prac-
tica1ly clinched in the early rounds
In the first they were sailing along

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 More Games With Giants.
Four games remain with New York.
Let these be divided. Chances men
should take four of the six ombats yet
to be played with ST. Louis. They won
Ave of the last six played. Five games
are still on the schedule between Chi
cago and Brooklyn. The Cubs must be
conceded 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 Chances Chi
cago Champion Cubs" surely is ultra
conservative. 1t provides for twenty
one 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. Pct.
90 55 .843
Pirates Must Win 81 Gnmes.
Pittsburg will have to travel a fast
clip to pass even such low figure as
this. They viii have to win thirty
one and lose but eleven games. This
means they must take three out of ev-
! cry 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. Pct.
100 "a .649
The Pirates cannot be counted out OF

to be a mathematical impossibility for
| them to win. However, the figures say
and there is old saying that fig
ures do not prevaricate-that little less
| than a pestilence among the Cubs OIL
