1t is decidedly questionable whether
Mack would have been able to win the
pennant had it not been for the fact that
Schang made good behind the bat. But
for his good fortune in drafting this
young catching star. he would really have
had but one catcher. Lapp. to rely upon.
for Ira Thomas is no longer capable OF
| drop-in, but 1t Is a mistake to give
Mack credit for developing him. Schang
was q ready-made proposition when he
reached the Athletics camp last spring.
George Stallings. for whom he caught In
Buffalo the year before. developed him.
and it was Stallings' intention to take
Schang with him to Boston. but he could
not purchase him and lost him in the
draft
1t may be "stove league gossip, but
the rumor that Tommy Leach and Roger
Bresnahan are going to join the Federal
League is causing lot Of talk around
| Chicago. Both these players have ever
been given credit for having their share
OF judgment. and IL such is the case they
are not going to take the threatened step.
True. when players are on the down
grade they would be foolish to turn down
an opportunity which would pay them q
big salary for a year or two, for at the
end OF that time they would probably be
ready to quit the game or fall into the
minors.

These are the two big games and both

On the face of things it would appear
that V. P. l. and Virginia should be re-
turned the victor in the two battles. but
such Is not certain by any means. The
chances greatly favor V. P. J.. though it
is possible that North Carolina will ac-
complish a great deal more than Is
looked for or it has been able to do in pre-
vious games between the two.
Virginia has been conceded the victory
over Georgia rather prematurely. 1t
seems. The Orange and Blue is not as
general opinion. There is back at
Georgia who has something on any in
this section for all-around work His
name is McWhorter., and he weighs more
than any player behind Virginia's line.
Virginia if it goes to Georgia figuring an
easy victory, is likely to meet with q
genuine surprise.
Randolph. who is playing one of the
halfback positions for Virginia now is a
former Western High lad. He played on
the team representing that school for
about half season. after which he was
barred because of failures in his studies.

withdrawal OF the Yale University Bas-

KNOCKS DOWN 387. PINS

Brilliant rolling by Baum and some
very creditable work by HALEY caused
the Brunswicks to take two games out OF
three from the Palace quint in the Ma
tieIfal Capital League last night. Baum
got the highest set of the year. doing
some of the best work ever seen in local
duckpin circles. He registered set of
SS7, for which he had games of IA, 40
and 1913. Baum not only had the highest
set but he also got the best mark for a
game. Baum was anchor man for the
Brunswicks and he proved himself a good
one, because it was his individual work
which gave them their two victories.
HALEY was first man for the Brunswicks.
and. while he did not secure nearly as
high marks as Baum. he helped a lot by
rolling above the average. He got 1913
in his first. 1OS and 81 in his last two.
His average was los. Baums average
was 100.
First Game Ends in Tie.
The first game between the Brunswicks
and Palace resulted in tie. but the
former won the roll-off. The work of
the Palace five was more consistent than
that of the Brunswicks, every man of
that quint getting scores of over hum
dred in the first game. while three of
the Brunswicks fell below that mark.
Baum's IA pulling UP the total. In the
first game rolled by the Palace quint
their scores were: Lewis, 1O4; Lennon.
101: Goodman, 1O2; Michaud, 1O4, and
Krauss, l25.
Other good games rolled during the
evening were by the General Baking

BRUSH WINS AT BIG PRICE

LAUREL, Md. October 25-Aside from
the victory of Springboard in the handi-
cap at six furlongs the feature of the
afternoon at Laurel Park yesterday was
the successful coup engineered in the
second race at a mile and a sixteenth,
when Snapper Garrisons Brush won
after being backed down from 80 to
to 8 to 1. Brush had been performing
we'll on the Canadian half-mile tracks all
summer in heavy going. and the layers
were far out of line on his chances, con-
sidering the cheap field he was meeting.
j. Mcintyre had the mount and his in
structions were to follow the pace as
closely as possible to the far turn and
then come on and win, which he did.
Brush passed the judges stand three
lengths in front of Ardelon. who had
showed the way to the far turn. Brush
was badly outrun in the early stages but
moved up with a rush at the far turn
and then drew away into an easy lead
which he maintained to the finish. Arde-
lon had lot taken out of him by making
such fast pace and weakened badly in
the stretch. but had plenty left to get
second from Towton Field. The latter
was greatly handicapped by the going
and Just lasted to get third from Spring

though he had to be hard ridden all
through the stretch to stall off the be-
lated rush of Tartar. that he, managed
to beat by three quarters of a length
