ATHLETICS BOOKED
TO CLASH WITH
CALLAHAN'S CLAN
Connie Mack Not Ill at Ease
Over Race Which Red
Sox Are utting Up
Against His Champions,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept a.-Connie Mack
will send his players to battle today with
the club which has always given the
champions fight. There has never been
a time in recent years when the Mack
men were able to predict with any degree
of certainty victory over the White Sox.
Harry Davis remarked that the chief rea-
son for this was that the grounds at
Comiskey Park had a peculiar effect on
the playing Of the Athletics, first, because
of the soft inf1eld, and secondly, because
of the direction OF the sun with reference
to the playing field, as 1t Is different from
any other diamond In the league.
Despite these things. Mack is deter
mined that his men shall win. He Is not
doing any vast amount OF worrying over
the result, but he wants to get the race
over Mt the earliest possible date In order
to- give his men time to recuperate from
tbe seasons lcng strain before the series
begin,
Today the Athletics have lead of 51a
games, one-half of a game less than the
advantage enjoyed by their National
League rivals from Boston. Nevertheless'

an ample distance ahead of the Red SoX.
There is a queer argument which mas
been put UP in Boston referring to the
relative strength Df the Red SoX ana
Athletics. The Hub followers claim that
because the Red SoX have won the ma
iority of the games played AGAINST the
Athletics this year they should win the
pennant
S,,ol, ~ argument is quite absurd be-
cause Boston has tried to keep her best
nitchers to work against the Athletlcs
instead Of shooting them in against Some
other club which ultimately won games
On the other hand, Mack has made no
effort to save anything for Boston. ne
McGilicudian policy is to win py TAX
ing every game as 1t comes on tne scheu-
ule. or, rather In trying TO take every
one.

The football outlook around the East
this year is unusually interesting. Yale
occupies the spotlight. not because T. is

cause Frank Hinkey is back to coach
Old Eli's pigskn warriors. The prospect
of this former Blue star putting in win

something to be reckoned with and the

Pennsylvania hunters for 194-l9l5 will

mately 100000 hunters took out the
papers required to permit them to hunt.
In addition it is estimated that moro
than 100000 farmers, their families or
their tenants hunted on their own lands
last year, taking advantage of the pro-
vision in the law enabling them to do
so without being licensed. The estimates
are being based upon reports made OF

BALTIMORE, Sept, q.
Although there are accommodations for
$50 odd horses within the gates of the
racing plant of the Maryland State Fair,
these will be insufficient to meet the
demand Of the many horsemen who have
planned to race at the coming meeting
at Laurel Park. When new stalls for
900 eouines were erected recently it was
thought that everybody could be taken
care of. and as the result the special
train which was run between the course
and Rennings on each race day was
abandoned for the coming meeting.

dications there will be in the neiEhbor-
hood of 1909 thoroughbreds on hand for
