COLLEGE HILL
AND DALE RACE
MAY COME HERE
AS Every Other Institution
Has Fostered the Event,
Pennsylvania Will Likely
Bid for 1t Next Year.

The chances are that IL the University
of Pennsylvania track authorities take
the proper initiative the intercollegiate
A. A. A. A. cross country championship
for 1915 will be held in Fairmount Park.
The association has definitely approved
the system of rotation, and every uni
vcrsity able to furnish a suitable course,
Pennsylvania alone excepted, has been
given this meet. 1t has been held at
Princeton several times, twice at Boston
under the auspices of the NJ. l. T., once
at Cornell and last year at New York,
under the auspices of Columbia Uni
versity This fall the meet has been
awarded to Yale, and will be held at New
Haven on the morning of the Harvard
Yale game, November 90.
Pennsylvania has at her door one of
the most ideal cross country courses in
America and one that is probably as
hard as the famous one over the hills
in and about Ithaca. Every conceivable
kind of running can be found in the
park In addition, Pennsylvania could
furnish the best kind of dressing quarters
at the University and other boat houses
The candidates for the Quaker cross
country team will be called out on Tues
day of next week, when Coach George
w. Orton will give them an easy run
through the Park There isn't much
chance of Penn victory this year. for
the Quakers have lost three of their
best runners of last year, McCurdy,
Langner and Madeira, while Cornell has
retained most of her 1913 stars. Last
year McCurdy was third. Langner ninth
and Madeira 18th. If Madeira had fin
ished within the first six men Penn would
have won the meet.
OF last years team the Quakers have
only Captain Huston, who was 31st, and
Stroud, who was 18th. Ted Mere
dith, who tried cross-country running last
year as an experiment, has decided that
he wasn't intended for this sort of work,
and won't try 1t again. Earl Humphreys,
who was i'll most of last fall, Is out
to make a reputation for himself this
fall and has reported in good condition.
Another man from whom much is eX-
pected is Pceso, the star of last years
freshman team.
But this team can hardly he expected
to win from Cornell, whose team still
has Hoffmire, the intercollegiate two
mile champion, second in the cross -coun-
try run: Frederickson, Burke and Speden,
who finished 11th, 13th and 18th, respec-
lively, not to mention Potter who was
prevented from running through sickness.

ATHLETICS MAY
NOT HAVE CHANCE
TO TAKE REST
Close Race in American
League Likely to Keep
Regulars in Action Until
Few Days Before Series.

CHICAGO, Sept 2S.-Another hiatus in
the American League schedule today gives
Connie Mack, who has just arrived here
from Cleveland, chance to do much
thinking and more planning A glance
at the percentage column indicates that
unless the Mackmen clean up the re-
mainder Of their games in the West the
regulars will not have the opportunity TO
get their usual rest before the worlds
series.
Last season the pcnnant was won
automatically, in time for all of the
champions who needed a lay-off to take
It. That this method resulted in inn
proved play in the series was evident
from the results Of the five games. Again
this season Mack planned to have his
men take plenty of time off to get in
shape, but he was a trine doubtful to-
day as to the possibility of so doing
Bender and Plank, who will again bear
the brunt OF the pitching in the series,
assuming always that the Athletics win
the pennant. will get their rest II no one
else does These men have entirely diff
fereut methods of getting in shape for
an event of this kind. Bender using his
time in driving the golf balls on the
links of the Bala Club in Philadelphia,
occasionally handling the baseball for a
few minutes. Plank, on the other hand,
takes a complete rest going to his home
in the hills on the outskirts of Gettys-
burg, Pa.
Mack does not have any set method
of training his men for the series He
allows each one to get in shape the way
he thinks best, and with band OF such
hiGh-grade athletes on his roster, the
leader is sure that when the day comes
for the final test each man will be in
the best shape of the season, barring
accidents.
Just how he will line his men for the
worlds series Mack did not say today,
but it is thought among the players that
he will send them in just as he did in
1918. This batting order follows: Murphy,
Oldring, Collins, Baker. McInnis. Strunk,
Barry catcher, pitcher.
In the game yesterday in Cleveland,
when the Mackmen completely over
whclmed the Maps Mack deviated from
the lineup as shown above. He dropped
Baker below Strunk and put Odrng In
his usual position, batting second In
the games prior to yesterday Oldring
had been hitting below Strunk, and Barry
had been in second place.
Baker has not been hitting as he might
recently, and Mack shifted him to get
better results.

The Hale & Kilburn Athletic Associa-
ton will hold a track and field meet un-

The tavelin throw will be one of the
open events to be decided at this meet.
Just at this time a lot of interest has
been aroused in this stunt Some of
the local boys have become quite pro-
fcient and will make an assault on the
record recently made at the Middle At
lantic Association championship games
at Byberry.
The Mercury Athletic Club plans to
hold it's very popular set OF closed track
and field games during the winter months.
Track dual contests are also planned
with the leading institutions in this Sec
tion.
The Middle Atlantic Association has
offered 800 to the James T.. Sullivan Me-
mortal Committee. which proposes to
erect shaft to the memory of the de-
ceased athletic father.
The Mllrose Athletic Association, now
that 1t possesses n cinder path the equal
of almost any in the city, has applied
to the Amateur Athletic Union for per-
mission to hold this years ten-mle ma
tional running and seven-mile walking
championships. The grounds are located
on the Old London Streets on Broadway.
The track, which is modelled after that
in Madison Square Garden. is ten laps
to the mile, and several thousand spec
tators can be seated comfortably. Mel
Sheppard, who is now affiliated with the
Wanamaker organization in the capacity
of amateur athletic adviser, stated yes

CHICAGO CUBS
HERE TO BATTLE
PHILLIES TODAY
Interest Locally Now Cen
tired in Boston and New
York, Where Crucial
Games Are Being Staged.

Though the Chicago Cubs are on deck
here this afternoon with the phrlics,
the chief local interest will be centred
in the games in Boston and New York.
where the Braves and Giants are maxi
ing their respective fights for the pen
nant. Just how little the local fans care
about the results of the games at the
Philly park is shown daily by the con-
stant applause which the scoreboard
draws when the results Of each New
York and Boston inning are put up.
While the pitching yesterday in the
last game with st. Louis was not high
class by any means, the Phillies should
again have won out easily, and would
have but for wrctched work on the bases.
In the last inning, with one run needed
to tie, Paskert singled and attempted
to take third on an overthrow. He had
no chance to make the bag, and why he
should have taken such a long chance
at that stage is known only to himself
He was just as good at second as he
was at third and incidentally he would
have scored the tying run il he had
stayed at second
Game after game has been lost this
season by the Phllies Just by this same
lack of foresight on the part of the base
fast on the paths hurts. of course. but
they would have done far better if they
had used a little judgment instead of
trying to get away with some thing that
would tax a bunch of regular base
runners.
At the Philly-Cardinal game yester-
day We're Brick" Mc1nnis, first base
man, and Izzy Hoffman. manager of the
Reading Tristatc club. Brick" is a
brother OF "Stufty" and is an exact
duplicate of the Athletics first sacker.
Brick is now waiting around Philadel-
rhia for the worlds series He is in
fine shape. and Manager Hoffman stated
that Brick" had displayed wonderful
Improvement this season at Reading.
He had a good start, training at Jack
sonville with the Mackmcn.
Just what havoc bases on balls will
do is shown by the record of Miller
Huggins in the five games. The Car
dinal leader has been passed a dozen
times and has scored 10 times after get
ting on first by the walk route. In yes
terdays game Higgins drew three passes
and was hit by a pitched ball. giving
him perfect day in strolling.
