GIANTS REMNANT
CHANCES PUT TO
TEST At CHICAGO
Expected That McGrawites Will
Go Through Cubs in
Thorough Style.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-With the New
York baseball team far in h lead for
the National League pennant, a series
of four games that may virtually de-
termine, if 1t does not definitely de-
eide, the league championship, was
scheduled to begin this afternoon be-
tween the Eastern team and Chicago.
AS a result of yesterdays double
header which Chicago divided with
Boston the Western contender for the
title was 58 points behind the leaders,
who did not play yesterday.
The standing at the beginning of the
present series was:
New York-Won, 90; lost, 4s; per-
centage won .652.
Chicago-Won. So; lost. 58; percent
age o .594.
If New York wins all four games OF
the series with Chicago Manager Nc
Graw and his men will have the PEN
nant won.
The Eastern players, who arrived
yesterday from Cincinnati and rested
for the crucial contest, do not say that
they will accomplish this, but they be-
lieve hat if they can win at least
half of the games they Will virtually
grasp victory.
New York at the beginning Of the
Chicago series had sixteen games to
play to finish the season, while Chi
cage had only eleven. The Chicago
players are not exceedingly hopeful.
for, to defeat New York, they will
have to win all eleven games unless
New York should lose more than nine
of its sixteen.

Mid WEEK FOOTBALL IS
NOW GOING OUT OF FAVOR
WITH The BIG COLLEGES
Harvard Has Entirely Eliminated Wednesday Ball-Yale and
Cornell Have but One Each and Princeton and
Pennsylvania but Two.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-That mid
week football games are rapidly losing
favor among the colleges is shown by
the small number of contests Sched-
uled for today as compared with the
lists of the corresponding Wednesday
in previous years. The tendency among
officials is to cut down the schedules
as much as possible, the belief being
general that too great a tax a been
placed on the average eleven by the
hard playing programs of previous
years. Harvard has entirely eliminated
the Wednesday game, while Yale and
Cornell have retained only one ana
Princeton and Pennsylvania two.
Today's program will serve as a test
of the early season ability of Yale, Cor
nell, Dartmouth and Carlisle. Each of
the quartet has a comparatively EASY
opponent, Yale meeting Wesleyan, o
nell having Allegheny as a foe, and
Dartmouth and Carlisle facing Norwich
and Muhlenberg, respectively.
Captain Hart Appears.
A surprise, and a cheerful n at
that, was thrown into the Tiger camp
yesterday afternoon when Captain

the field, clad in his fighting toys. He
was not expected out until Saturday,
when it was thought he would get IN
the first game with Stevens.
Hart did not go into the scrimmase
between the varsity and the scrubs,
but practised falling on the ball. He
did this alone, chucking the pigskin
ahead of him and literally hurting him
self through the air after it. az
This operation over, he would get up

cellent physical condition.

FRED PAYNE SIGNS
TWO CONTRACTS ON
The SAME DAY

Larry Sutton tells an interesting
story of Fred Payne's debut into pro-
fessional baseball. The Brooklyn scout
was umpiring a game six years ago in
a suburb of Syracuse, N. Y, and Payne
was catching for an amateur cam.
Larry was impressed with the work of
the young backstop and after the game
called Payne aside.
"How would you like to break into
the game as a PROFESSIONAL" asked
Larry.
First rate answered the y%oungster.
wei, what are you doing now?'

Larry understood his reply.
What gasped the surprised scout,
"a cannon factory?"

"How many men nave you got under
you?"
Just myself"
Larry chuckled and told Payne he
would keep him in mind.
A few days later the scout met the
president of the defunct A., j. and G.
New York State League. He was look
ing for a catcher, and Larry Immediate
ly recommended Payne.
Along came Payne, from Mexico,
n. Y, where he was born, and he lost
little time signing a contract with
Johnstown.
The same night Larry met him, and
Payne gripped Larry by the arm.
Say he said. I'm doing a fine
business; 1 signed another contract this
afternoon, with Syracuse"
Larry explained to him that he had
no right to sign a second document,
even though there was $25 more a
month in it.
In the end Payne finally went to
Syracuse, but the regular catcher was

HERZOG TALKS ABOUT
GIANTS SPEED ON BASES.

Listen to Charley Herzog. the Giants
tb~ird-sacker, on the worlds series:
First, you remember that IT will be
something rare in baseball for any
team to win fou out of seven games
from such pitchers as Marquard and
Mathewson. Then you must consider
that the Giants rank higher than the
Athletics as base runners There are
six men on our team who will have
stolen fifty or more bases by the end
of the season, and that record Is
bound to have an effect on Mack's
catchers."

Strengthened considerably by the var
