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. 23-Another hiatus in
the American League schedule today gives
Connie Mack, who has just arrived here
from Cleveland, a chance to do much
thinking and more planning A glance
at the percentage column indicates that
unless the Mackmen clean up the re-
malnder 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 pennant was won
mathematically, in time for all Of the
champions who needed a lay-off to take
1t. 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 trihe 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 If no one
else does. These men have entirely off
ferent methods of getting in shape for
an event of this kind Bender using his
time in driving the Eolf balls on the
links Of the Bala Club in Philadelphia.
occasionally handling the baseball for
few minutes. Plank, on the other hand,
takes 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 a 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

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 Phillies,
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 hich
class by any means, the Philles should
again have won out easily and would
have but for wretched 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 If he had
stayed at second.
Game after game has been lost this
season by the Philles just by this same
lack of foresight on the part of the base
iuIHtISs 4 ne ldCl lHdl llp men are not
fast on the paths hurts, of course. but
they would have done far better if they
had used little Judgment instead of
trying to get away with some thing that
would tax a bunch of regular base
runners.
At the PhillyCardinal game yester-
day were Brick" McInnis. first base
man, and Izzy Hoffman, manager of the
Reading Tristate club. Brick" is
brother of "Stuffy" 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 good start. training at Jack

Just what havoc bases on balls will
do is shown by the record of Miller

times and has scored 10 times after get
