CHICAGO, September 3O-The Giants

rooters are all astir again and talking
pennant There seems to be no reason
why the undertakers should lend money
on the Giants. They still make lots OF
mist on a mirror when it is held up to their
lips. They are not dead ones, only in a
coma Any team is liable to lose two
games.
For the faint hearted let this convinc-
ing argument be preached. The Giants
have fourteen games yet to play and the
Cubs have nine left on their schedule.
II Chicago wins all its remaining con-
tests the Giants must take but seven Of
their fourteen to nail the pennant-that

There does not seem to be any doubt

present there does not seem to be an

Up at Central it is Well known fact
that it's backfield is strong enough to in

is not the case. as the streeters have
pair of the best forwards in the high
schools around whom they may build the
strongest line in the scholastic ranks.
In Zappone and King the Central line
will have two classy men to be its main

Both men are good in every sense of the
word, and will probably hold down all
high jobs at the end of the year.

Herman Schaefer is an active candi-
date for the managerial position of the
Washington ball club. Germany feels
that he has been in the game long enough
to be intrusted with leadership. and
he has made this plain to the club OFF,
Gals. Incidentally. he has been notified
that his name, together with many 9TH
ers, has been placed on the list for flu
ture consideration, but that no action
will be taken for while yet.
Il think that l can make a success OF
managing the Nationals said Schaefer,

chance 1 would give satisfaction. 1t is
but natural that every. player who has
seen many years of service in the ranks
should at some time aspire to become a
manager, and that is exactly where l
stand"
Today will be the farewell appearance
is doubtful if a more popular team plays
here than Jennings band. The fact that
the team always furnishes interesting ex-
hibitions because of the spirit that the
players display under Jennings has done
much to make it popular with local pa

In which both sides hit as hard as they
did yesterday. There were six triples
and an equal number of doubles, not to
speak of a bunch of singles. Everything
that was pitched was hit. Hughes,
though he seemed to be in good form,
could not keep the ball away from the
Tigers bats. and Donovan. his opponent,
was but little more successful, though
he seemed able to stop the locals when
ever they got fussy.
Ty Cobb has found the local pitchers
particularly easy picking during the pres
ent series. In the three games played
the Georgia Peach is charged with eleven
times at bat and credited with nine hits.
Cobb has increased his lead over Jackson
since coming here. much to the delight
OF the local players, who Soured on Jack

here because he was begging for base
hits. In one of the games he had two
strikes on him in the ninth. with two
men out when he gave a man on first
the hit and run sign so that he would
be thrown out and time at bat saved
The players also charge that Jackson
stayed out of the game in Philadelphia
Thursday because Danforth a left-hand-

be handicapped by his southpaw deliv-

INSTRUCTED IN RULES
Foot Ball Players Given Re-
hearsaI in Code Before
First Game of Season.

Georgetown University's foot ball squad
received its final instructions from Coach
Nelson yesterday afternoon before the
game today with the Seaman Gunners.
The men were not worked hard as there
was no scrimmage and particular atten-
ton was given to the instruction of the
men in the new rules Of this season. Fol-
lowing this talk on the new tricks OF the
game both the first and second teams
went through a short, snappy signal drill,
which did not last much over twenty
minutes. Before the Blue and Gray can
didates were dismissed the varsity kicked
off to the scrubs several times and then
visa, versa the second string men booted
the pigskln to the varsity. This was done
merely for the sake OF giving the men
practice in forming and breaking up in
reference. as there was no tackling.
Nelson then sent his charges around the
track before they went in for their rub
Some of the veteran players viii be
missed from the Blue and Gray lineup
today owing to slight injuries. Barricello

bench, as the two former are out of the

Louis Doyle and Albert Howard
Play for Tennis Title Today.
LEE M'CLUNG ELIMINATED
Consolation Class and Mems Doubles
Filled Up Yesterdays Card
on Bachelors Courts.
ZEE MCLUNG ELIMINATED

Up until the last minute Yesterday it
looked as If play in the annual District
championship tennis tournament would
have to be postponed, as the courts were
not in the best of shape and more rain
was expected almost any second. Despite
these unfavorable conditions fairly large
gallery was on hand. and those that did
take the chance were fully repaid by the
class of tennis shown.
AS has been predicted by Tne Star from
the opening day of the tournament, Louis
l. Doyle. won the championship in the
singles and at ) o'clock today he and the
present title holder, Albert W. Howard,
will battle for supremacy in the challenge
round.
After Lee McClung had disposed of
John Britton, Ga. 4-6. and 60, in the
semi-finals, finishing out their unfinished
match of Thursday evening, he and Lou"
Doyle took the courts for the final go
and those who saw this match consider
themselves extremely fortunate, as some
OF the best tennis shown in Washington
for many long day was displayed.
Doyle's victory disproves that familiar
saving, They never come back" as he
did SO with a vengeance yesterday.
These two players put up identically
case OF when Greek meets Creek
throughout the contest. Neither of them
seemed to he able to keep away from the
net, with the result that there was hard
ly any lobbing done at all, each being
content to play the ball safe while grad
ually working up to the net, from which
vantage point it was comparatively easy
to draw the opposing player from his
pos ton ard make kin through the
opening thus made or to pass him by
speedy and well-placed shots down the
side lines. Doyle had little the better of
the argument in the service line. as his
had little more sting to IT, and he al
ways got the second ball over with just
as much speed as his first.
McClung captured the first set, 4-6
and his followers-and he had quite a
few-began to say Il told you So and to
figure up his chances in the next round,
but this proved to be but fash in the
pan. Doyle lost this set because he play
ed McClung safe. being afraid to take any
chances and seeming to be sizing his OPP
ponent UP. He started off the second set
by playing safe game, but when he saw
that he was getting beaten he became
more aggressive, and after overcoming a
three-game lead he managed to land the
set evening things up.

both men were firing because Of the fast

The Cubs have been playing above their
standard in the games with the Giants.
Against Boston. Tuesday, the Chicago
team looked like grand old relic. but in
the two games with the Giants the team

other time this season. The return OF

John Henry, Tom Hughes. Dolly Gray

| to go through the afternoon without get

one or more.
No one would ever suspect to see Jen-
nngs working through these games that
his team did not have a chance for the
pennant. He was not off the lines i'm
a single inning and he pulled and rooted
| as il the flag was at stake. 1t is nothing
! short of remarkable that Jennings can
keep up his spirit under all conditions.
He has worked harder during the pres
ent series than in any previous one. and
yet the flag was cinched by the Athletics
several days ago. A oall player who cam
not put forth his best efforts under Jen-
nings does not belong in the game.
Bill Donovan Ioafed along after his
team got a comfortable lead until he
grew so careless that he was in real dan
ger in the eighth. when the Nationals
scored three runs and had the bases
full when the last man was retired.
Donovan walked three men in this inning
and forced two of the three runs across
the plate.
1t will be worth the price of admission
to see that great outfield of the All-Star
team in action. Imagine a team having
Cobb, Speaker and Milan playing those
positions during regular season. Any
ball that would get away from this
trio would have to be hit over the fence.
Every one of them is a great thrower.
and when it comes to hitting and base
running they are in a class by them

pretty near landing any team near the
top with mediocre pitching.
Aside from the smuggling in which both
sides INDUCED there was not much to

the hitting alone was interesting. Here

LONDON AND

The figures just announced give
London a greater population than
New York by 2.4Ss,0sO, which at first
glance would seem to put New York
out OF the race for the worlds metrop-
oils. And yet there IL evidence to
show that by 1920 New York Is likely
enough to be In the lead. Greater
London's population is now 1882 1888.
and Greater New York's only 4,766,.
$50; but London's growth In the laft
decade was only 10 per cent. In round
numbers, while New York's was above
3S per cent. II the latter city grows
four times faster than the former, the
difference OF $500, 900, now In favor
OF the former, may be speedily over
come. Old London, or the center OF
Greater London, shows an actual loss
by the latest returns, like the top OF a
tree dying from old age. obut New
York showed a big advance at the
center as well as at the circumference.
London's growth IL chiefly on the out
skirts. Should the two cities advance
In the next ten years as In the last,
the one 10 per cent and the other 5s,
then London will have In 1920 a pop
ulation of 7,922,765 and New York
close upon It with $500, S99. A part OF
the latter's actual territory Is In New
Jersey, and had II been included In the
1910 New York's population would
now be $4,000.
