he may feel proud. The boys will Sc
two games for ono admission, an
there will be hot old time al
around We wish Dots Miller goo,
luck.
The Braves have about clinchet
the National League pennant, ant
the Giants will have to keep going t.
hold second place, as the Chicago
Cubs are right on their heels. Thu
talk now is all about the world
series, and some of the boys are say
ing that the Braves will be q favor
ite over the Athletics in the big SCI
of games. That can hardly be. al
though the Boston sports are the
best bettors in the country wher
| They made a big boiler, though
when the Red Sox played the Giants
and said they were being cheated
But they will bet their bankrolls
and those who like the Athletics
chances will be able to get a good
price Tor their money.
o
George Stallings may well feel
proud of his efforts. He has made
himself the Miracle Man. and he
may win the worlds championship
with his not particularly great ball
| team. He is born leader and he has
managed we'll, and Newark fans are
with him to man. If there is any
interest left at all when the Braves
play the Giants AT the Polo Grounds
in that five-game series
in that fve-game series, Newarkers
will go over there and root for the
big Chief" and his team.

Providence is almost a sure winner
of the International League pennant,
and the victory is a very popular one
There was no particular desire to see
Rochester beaten, for Charles T. Cha
pin, the owner, is a liberal and a
popular man, but the Hustlers have
won so many pennants that Provi-
dence as a change was welcomed by
the other clubs. The Grays have q
three game lead and have only four
more games to play. Rochester has
six more games to play, and Provi-
dence must win only two more
games to cinch the flag

Newark has made a sorrowful
showing this season. and it wasn't be-
cause we didn't have the players,
either Charley Ebbets pulled few
of his famous Barry" plays and the
men lost interest in their work The
team will probably finish fifth.

Much praise is being given to Eddie
Zimmerman for his efforts throughout
| the season. He is deserving of all the
nice things being said about him, too,
and some day, maybe, he will be ap-
preciated in q most substantial way.
We would like to see him manager
here next season, but that can never
be, for there are going to be a lot Of
changes around here, including, per-
haps, ownership. If there isn't, one
great baseball city will be spoiled for
another year.
| Football will soon be the game. The
pennant races have about been de-
cided and the pigskin battles will
come into their own in a week or so.
The recoronation of the King will be
welcomed, for we will want to see
football as 1t is played under the
new rules. The changes have not
been many but some Of them have
been very good. We are in some OF
the big games to see the players num-
bered, which is surely a move in the
right direction.

Banty Lewis and Jimmy McVoigh
would pack any place around here,
and 1t looks very much as IL the Bay
View Wheelmen's Clubhouse will
not be large enough to hold the
crowd on Friday night. Both boys
| are popuidi, anu cdCH has u laIbt
following. As a match they are
about equal, and there is not much
to choose between them. Lewis is
more of fighter than a boxer, and
Weigh is very clever, and his adj
mirers look for him to outpoint
| Banty. As the bout is for four
rounds only. there is certain to be
lots of action, and those who want
to see these boys perform will have
to be on hand early. for nearly every
ticket has been disposed of, am
told.
o
Jimmie Johnston, manager of Eddie
Nugent, of Nutley, is predicting a
bright future for the boy. Johnston
writes me that Nugent is battling al
a thousand per cent. gait, having wor
four fights under Jimmy's manage
ment. The kids last scrap was OF
Saturday night at the Irving Club ir
Brooklyn, and Eddie won on fou
from Dick Moran. likely fellow from
Providence. Johnston says that Nu.
gent was giving Moran quite 6
licking" when Dick resorted to fou
work and was disqualified by Patsy
Haley, the referee.
O.
Jay Eaton is said to be highly
peeved over Manager MacFarland's
declaration that Jay will not b.
tolerated at the velodrome. Well, Jay
always was a little touchy. How
ever, he is in a class with Harry Pol
| lok as a bruiser, and has never wor
