Record Breaking Rush
of the Boston Braves

/ larly before the season was very old
Old Man Fate would come along and
soak Doom in the jaw for the count OF
ten.
First, Fate put over his wallop in
the shape of injuries to players. He
would see that just enough of Dooin's
stars got hurt to seriously cripple the
them. When they would recover he
would see others jammed up. keeping
the regular team shot to pieces all the
time. Their next Fate showed him
self by getting Doin's star outfielder,
Shortstop Magee, to slam an umpire,
with the result that the outfielder was
out of the lineup for some time. And
his absence hurt.
Fate's latest turn was to lure Dooin's
stars away via the Federal league.
Doom might as well give up until he
finds some means of handing this Fate
person Knockout wallop. He is a
loser on falls as it stands.
Another thing that figured strong
in the slump of the Phillies this year
was the absence of Shortstop Mickey
Doolan He. too, fell for the big sal
airy inducements held out by the Feds.
Baltimore got him.
Doom was in sore straits to plug
the gap left by Doolan's departure.
For the first three months of the sea
son he kept trying out different ones
there and in the meantime the ones
getting the trials kicked many a game
away for him. These same games
would have been won in all likelihood
If Doolan had been in the lineup.
Reports now have 1t that Doom is to
be deposed this winter as manager OF
the Phillies The rumor has floated
often before. This time it really seems
to be founded on fact.
Well, maybe Doom hasn't made
good He hasn't if you simply look az
the percentage table, showing where
the Phillies finished. but if you've fol-
lowed the career of the red-headed
scrapping leader you know that he
hasn't fallen down on the job through
lack of ability.
Doom takes the prize for being the
most unlucky cuss that cver attempt
ed to drive ball club Z, victory. He
knows baseball. knows it Ike a hook.
He knows how to play it and knows
also how to teach others to play it..
He can handle men SO that he can get
the most out of them. But when It
comes to wrestling with Fate and put
ting that old Joy killers shoulders to
the mat the sorrel-topped one isn't
there. He admits that is out of his
line.

(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Oct S.--With the amaz-
ing record breaking rush OF the Boston
Braves to the top of the National
league after being poor last the first
of July taking up all spotlights in this
world of sport some other mighty in
teresting features in connection with
the annual baseball marathons have
been overlooked
One of these features-and one that
deserves far more than ordinary men
tion is the work of Grover Cleveland
Alexander, that pitching phenom who
wiggles for the greatest hard luck club
in the world--the Phillies. This year
Alexander has been breezing along at
the fastest clip Of any pitcher in the
National league loop, literally stand
ing the batters in that organization on
their heads.
Alexander, with patched-up very
ordinary club behind him has piled up
the best pitching percentage in the
league. His work has been marvel
Gus, considering the support accorded
him. He has been the one and only
consistent winner for the Phillies. He
has worked. too, worked like a trojan
all year. Doom determined to keep
his warriors out OF the cellar, called
on Alexander often and the big twirler
responded with victory almost every
time.
Which causes us to pause and think
what might have happened. Just sup
pose for instance that Tom Seaton
hadn't jumped to the Brooklyn Fed
erals. Seaton, with his class. would
have added at least twelve more wins
to the Philadelphia clubs standing.
And those same victories, marking off
a like number of defeats, would have
put the Phillies out in front of the
Braves, where they could not have
been headed.
And Fate has sure landed some ter
rifle wallops on the fighting jaw OF
Doom. In fact, this Fate person seems
to have taken a supreme delight in
just scattering its punishment along
so that it could hand the red head
enough every season to keep him out
OF the running.
Ever since he has been at Philadel-
phia, Doom has had a pennant win
ming aggregation-in the spring. The
critics are all unanimous in the spring
III the verdict that on straight form
Dooin's club should make parade out
Of the pennant derby, with themselves
so far out in front that there wouldn't
be anything 10 it. And just as regu-

Rule Does Not Hold.

The first decision under the ruling
of President Johnson that the provis.
ion calling runners out at third when
touched by coacher. does not hold If
the ball is knocked out Of the park
came In a recent Athletic-Tiger Sc
ries at Philadelphia. After slugging
the sphere out of the lot, which is
not rare thing for Sam Crawford
to do, Moriarty. who happened to be
coaching at third stepped over and
congratulated Sarn with hearty hand
shake, whereupoa the. champions set
up the claim that the batter, under
the rule that a coacher must not touch
the base runner, was out, Umpire
Chill overruled the contention, hold
ing that the ball had been batted out
of the field and therefore was out of
play.

japanese Promise
to Restore Islands

Washington, Oct. S.-Secretary
Bryan has beer officially informed
that the occupation by the Japanese
naval forces Of the German Pacific
islands is only temporary and solely
for military purposes. The assurance
came from the Japanese foreign Of
flee through Ambassador Guthrie and
also from the Japanese embassy in
Washington.
1t is believed that the declaration
from the Japanese government OF its
intentions regarding the islands seized
was made voluntarily. State depart
ment officials said no inquiries had
been made by the United States on
the subject and it was believed here
that this government had accepted
the statement from Toxic as suffic-
lent guarantee that the situation in
the far east would not be altered in
anyway inimical to its interests. 1t
was reiterated at the japanese em-
bassy that the necessity of protecting
commerce in the Pacific from the Ger
man cruisers eluding pursuit in those
waters had prompted the seizures.
Japanese and British fleets, in accord
ance with common understanding, 1t
was said, had been acting together in
all movements of the Japanese fleet.
In regard to the Shan Tung rail-
way, it was said by embassy officials
that its occupation should not be con
sidered in any sense as violation by
the Japanese of Chinese neutrality as
removing the line from German con
troll was military necessity. The Jap
anese advance against the German
stronghold at Kiao Chow would be
bindered, it was pointed out, if the
Germans were allowed to use the road
to haul'supplies or otherwise facilitate
their military operations.
