ENGEL IS TO PITCH
Griffith's Youngster to Face
Red Sox Today.
HALL MAY OPPOSE HIM
New First Baseman May Make Ap-
pearance Today-Boston
Has Been Lucky.
HALL MAY OPPOSE HIM
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Joe Engel is slated to pitch the second
game of the final series with Boston to-
day. 1t will be Engers third chance
against the champions, having faced
them twice before this season, and while
he was beaten on both occasions he
pitched good ball against them If Engel
can win his game, then Joe Boehling is
to have a crack at the champions to-
morrow, when the final game of the sea-
son will be played here. but if Engel
fails Bob Groom will be called upon to
make it two out Of three.
Stahl will probably work Hall or Be-
dent today. and it is believed that Joe
Wood will take his final workout Tor the
worlds series tomorrow. Wood, on what
he showed in New York few days ago,
is now in his best form. and will not
need much to keep him on edge. He held
the Yankees scoreless and allowed but
two hits. 1t seems assured that most OF
the work in the worlds series Will fall
on Woods shoulders. If he can win the
first game he is sure to pitch a majority
of them, and Stahl is particularly anxious
TO have him at his best. For this reason
he figures that about one more game Will
be all the work he needs before the series.
but he has not yet decided whether he
will work him here or over in Phlla-
delpnla.
First Baseman Agler, purchased by
Washington from Atlanta, has been asked
to report here at once, ana may De IN
the game today or tomorrow. His stay
with the team may only be for an IN
ming or so, but in order to comply with
the rules he must be given chance
here before he can be sent back to the
minors Griffith, of course. does not
need Agler, and he wants to return him
to Atlanta, something he cannot do
until he has played him in champion
ship game. He does not want to wait
until spring to do this. SO has ordered
the youngster to report here, SO tnat
he can play him.
Boston has been particularly fortu-
nate in not having any of it's best play
ers out of the game during the time
the fight for the flag was hottest. Had
the accident to Gardner occurred SIX
weeks ago it would undoubtedly have
made a big difference, for he is of the
greatest value to his team, both as
fielder and hitter. Speaker. of course.
is the player who would be most missed
by the, Red Sox. and it was a stroke OF
good luck to have both him and Gard
ner remain in the lineup all season.

.FOCEL AND MURPHY
SCORED BY M'CRAW
If They Can't Prove Charges
They Ought to Be Driven
Out, He Says.

NEW YORK, September 3O-''Murphy
and Fogel ought to be made to prove
their Wild assertions about the umpires.
and, falling to do SO, they should be driv-
en- out of organized base ball." de-
clared John McGraw, the Giants agrees
sive leader. yesterday. ITS strange that
Murphy and Fogel are the only club own
ers who have cast reflections upon the
honesty Of base ball. If there was any
thing wrong wouldn't some other club
owner make a kick, too?- Fogel is laugh
ed at in Philadelphia. and everybody
knows that Murphy is discredited in Chi
cago. Why, Murphy's attack on the
Chicago players. which has been resented
by Frank Chance. shows what kind Of
person controls National League ball in
that city,
'Fogel is all wrong" said President
Ebbets Of the Brooklyn club yesterday
II don't agree with him when he says
that the Giants won twenty-one games
because of unfair decisions by the UNI
pires. I think the Giants have won the
pennant honestly and fairly, and / don't
believe in taking away any Of the credit.
1t is true, however, that there has been
much trouble over the umpiring in the
National League this year. due to the
appointment of incompetent officials
Even Mr.. Hermann has just reached
the conclusion that one of the umpres
isn't fit for the job. I am not crying
'Robber! however, and I've nothing more
to say except that Fogel has gone too far
without any real basis for his charges"
The wires were kept hot by the big
base ball men yesterday after FogeIs
charges had been read. 1t is understood
that President Brush of the New York
club who is too ill to take part in a con-
troversy of this kind, notified Secretary
Joseph d. O'Bren to adopt a vigorous
policy. 0 Brien, it was reported, at once
communicated with Thomas j. Lynch,
president of the National League, asking
that a thorough investigation of Fogers
charges be instituted without further de-
lay. 1t was also said that a wire was
sent to August Hermann, chairman of
the national base ball commission. asking
for advice 1t is not secret that the
and Ban Johnson has all along been
opposed to the methods and vaporings OF
Fogel and Murphy, and If there is any
way that these scandalous charges can be
taken up by the commission there is
bound to be excitement.
Base balls prosperity is due to wonder
full popularity. which in turn depends
wholly upon the honesty and integrity of
players and magnates. Once the base
ball public is convinced that the games
are not on the square, goodbye to big
gate receipts and five-hundred- thousand
dollar ball parks If there is anything wrong
he will receive commentator from mil
lions of base baal fans. If Murphy can
furnish discriminating evidence against
anybody in base ball he. too, will be
praised. But for Idle chatter and cow
ardly accusations caused by the green
eyed monster the public has nothing but
censure.

INTERCLUB GOLF MATCH.
Bannockburn and Washington Tie
at Five Points on Latter's Course.

between teams from Bannockburn and
the Washington Country Club was played
Saturday afternoon over the latter's
course at Jewell Station, Va, the match
being squared with 5 points EACH, Ban
nOckburn won the match at the meeting
of these two teams last Saturday on it's
own grounds. but the Washington teams
course is an unusually hard one, and the
best it could do was to split even.
Much to every ones surprise. Eddie
Brooke of Bannockburn defeated John
Davidson. Brooke defeated Davidson the
last time they met up. but this was on
his own grounds, but for him to win on
the Washington Country Clubs course is
certainly going some The score was
all even at the turn. the Bannockburn
player making all his gain on the in

LAUREL ATTRACTS
LOVERS Of RACING
Despite the Rain, Everything
Is to Be in Shape for In
auguration of the Sport.

LAUREL, Md, September 3O.-Hun-
dreds of residents of this city, and, in
fact, from all points, visited the local
race plant yesterday. From early morn
ing until almost dark there was a steady
stream of turf enthusiasts, as well as
those who are taking keen interest in
the fair, which is to be held during the
latter part of the meeting by the Mary
land State Fair Association 1t did not
seem a bit like Sunday. for here and
there were men engaged at odd jobs.
Owing to the setback experienced by
the rainy season. Manager H. D. Brown
gained the consent Of the authorities to
go ahead with his plans in order to have
everything in readiness for the swinging
of the gates open to the public tomor-
row afternoon, when Marylands great
thoroughbred racing event will be under
way.
From both Baltimore and Washington
quite a crowd came to look things over.
while horsemen now at Havre de Grace
slipped down to make arrangements for
the shipping OF their charges here from
the Hartford county course at the clos
ing of the session at the new track this
afternoon.
Several carloads came in from Havre
de Grace yesterday afternoon, and only
an hour before the special from Toronto
had steamed into town. The Canadian
crowd was to have arrived here before
noon, but was delayed for over five hours
at the border line. There were ten cars
on the special from the WOOdbine track,
where the curtain was lowered on the
sport in the major league Canadian cir
cult yesterday.
With the exception of the stables Of
John W. Schorr and Mrs. Lily A. Liv-
ingston, the strings Of mostly all of the
turtles to come from the Dominion were

tablished. There is not another instance
where manager has worked for one
club owner for SO long a period. 1t
speaks we'll for both Clarke and Drey-
fuss. This year the Pirates are almost
certain of finishing second. and good
judges predict that the team will win
the flag next year because of the fact
that it is blessed with decidedly strong
staff of young pitchers.
Ticket scalping should be held down to
minimum in Boston during the coming
series. for the reason that the purchaser
of ticket must enter the Enclosure at
once and cannot pass out again without
forfeiting the right to return. This should
put stop to the practice of selling tickets
at exorbitant prices to great extent,
though there is Of course still chance
for many of the reserved seat tickets to
be manipulated. But there is no way for
any one to safeguard against this traf-
tic.

ties Immediately. All of them have been
identified with the local club since it was
put on a good footing some six or seven
years ago. Until this year the venture
has never been success because Of the
teams artistic shortcomings, yet its back
ers have been persistent In their efforts
to better conditions and the reward has
come this year when the Nationals
proved a remarkable successful aggrega-
ton.
The new regime will in no way affect
present conditions. Clark Griffith will,
of course. remain at the head of the
team with which he has made such a
splendid fight in the present campaign.
The club has had the best financial
season of it's career, and the prospects
are that it now has ball team which
will be prominent in campaigns for
years to come.
1t was decided by the board of d.
rsctors that a dividend is to be de-
clared this year.
